What I 26 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: realized is like I was here through there. You've only 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: been here since nineteen. I don't say only, but this 28 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: team is so fun to watch they are. It's so 29 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: fun to be here instead of where the team was 30 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: for two decades before that. It's so it's such a 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: likable organization. They got so much fun going on that 32 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: the fan base makes it just as fun as the 33 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: team does. The mafia on game day out here, the atmosphere, 34 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: the social media presence, the spectacle of the fans showing 35 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: up to their hometown and in at in the routine 36 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: of chaos that is, you know, pre game for the 37 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and the just the excitement of having a really, 38 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: really good football team and a really good organization. It's 39 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: just it's just a blast to be associated with it 40 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: and part of it as fans, as as you and 41 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: I as media members.

Every week was a was great every week. 45 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, certainly you didn't win all the games and all, 46 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I get all that, but man, ohman, it's so fun. 47 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: It's so fun every game. 48 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the grind of the season is intense and week 49 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: in week out, every week is different. Every week has 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: a different energy, a different vibe to it. You can 51 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: feel it coming off of losses, going into tougher weeks, 52 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: going into the playoffs.

So we'll see what this team starts 166 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: to look like under new ownership. A good day for 167 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: this team, an exciting day for the team, and exciting 168 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: year for the team as they begin down a road 169 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 2: of newness with with Josh Harris over it all. 170 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: Part of the ownership group of Josh Harris is in 171 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: an NBA legend, Magic Johnson, and Magic Johnson has alluded 172 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: to the fact didn't close the door on saying that 173 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: the name of the team may change again. That seems 174 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: there seems to be a little momentum, you know, and 175 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: I know how it is on social media. If somebody 176 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: suggests something, anybody else likes it, it gains momentum quick 177 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: So everybody says, hey, this is great and it's going 178 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: to happen. But there are also a lot of people saying, well, 179 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: it seems like the way he presented, the fact that 180 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: the tea everything was on the table, including a name change, 181 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: made it sound like, man, they are going to change 182 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: the name the way he was perceived as meaning it. 183 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: We'll see because there's a lot you know, I get it, 184 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: because they're saying, listen, they need to rebrand the entire team. 185 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: It has been such a train wreck in a lot 186 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: of ways for the Washington franchise in the last ten years, 187 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: especially for the Dan Schneider ownership group. They want to 188 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: totally change it, rebrand it, get it in new stadium 189 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: where this side of the old RFK is. You know, 190 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of things going on that are 191 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: going to try and refurbish that franchise and distance it 192 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: from what happened under the last few years of the 193 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: Dan Schneider ownership group. So a lot of changes on 194 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: the horizon for that organization. It'll be interesting to see 195 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: how it happens. And I heard a couple of guys, 196 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: national guys discussing this exact thing, and there were a 197 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: lot of old Washington fans who have just said, you 198 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: know what, I'm not doing it, and they just switched 199 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: to Legiance and moved over to the Baltimore Rave because 200 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Baltimore's right there, Baltimore, Washington, DC or proximity. They said, 201 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: I'm forgetting I'm going to Baltimore. They got a great organization, 202 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: they're competitive, the ownership is extremely fan sensitive and it's great. 203 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: So they just said forget it, I'm leaving, and they 204 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: may not get those people back. 205 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 206 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: I mean, his actions have no place in the NFL. 207 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: I'm glad he's not a part of the NFL anymore. 208 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: I'm glad Josh Harris and his group of ownership partners 209 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 2: are now the ones who are going to be making 210 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: decisions for the Washington commanders. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, 211 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: congratulations to Josh Harris and his impressive group of partners. 212 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: Josh will be a great addition to the NFL. He 213 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: has a remarkable record in business, sports, and his communities. 214 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: The diverse group that Josh has put together is outstanding 215 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: for its business acumen and strong Washington ties, and we 216 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: welcome them to the NFL. 217 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 3: He says, I met. 218 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: Josh several years ago, prior to his act inquisition of 219 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: an interest in the Steelers, and have been fortunate to 220 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: get to know him better over the past few months. 221 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: So seems like the right guy for the position, the 222 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 2: right guy to take over, the right guy to take 223 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: over with his ownership partners, with that group of partners 224 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: to hopefully have better seasons, better days in Washington. 225 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: This was a long time coming. 226 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: Listen, the old team in Washington used to go by 227 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the name of the Washington Redskins. It was a proud 228 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: and historic franchise, the old NFC East team with the Giants, 229 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Cowboys and the and the Washington Football 230 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: team was what it was as well. Washington Football Club, 231 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: hugely historic franchise and it's absolutely disappeared from the from 232 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: the landscape. And there was you couldn't find a positive 233 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: piece of media coverage about that franchise for six or 234 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: seven years. Zero Ron Rivera did his best. He was 235 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: a nice voice of leadership and call him, but it 236 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: was he could not overcome what had happened to that 237 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: franchise as a head coach. And I bet there's a 238 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: there's got to be a little bit of celebration in 239 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: DC over. 240 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: This one, definitely, there's some news about players being members 241 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: of new teams getting signed by teams here this afternoon. 242 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: Some of this stuff has been breaking just recently. Per source, 243 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: Melvin Gordon heading to the Ravens on a one year deal. 244 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, lately, he is with the Kansas City Chiefs for 245 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: a minute. Now, He's got to signed a one year 246 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: deal for the Baltimore Ravens. Maximum worth is about three 247 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: point one. That's the game. If he reaches some thresholds 248 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: and statistics and stuff like that, playtime, it could get 249 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: up all the way to three point one. The running 250 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: back market continues to be one a point of discussion 251 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: around the league. You know, guy like Melvin Gordon is 252 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: he's a good player and has been a really good player. 253 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: But running backs are only seen as valuable during their 254 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: first their rookie contract, and when they get to the 255 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: end of that contract, the thought is just change it 256 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: out for another guy. I'm not going to pay an 257 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: elite running back. Occasionally you'll get a team that'll do it. 258 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: But even now, the elite running backs, I mean, the 259 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: franchise tag is ten million. That's not even I don't 260 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: even know that that would make the franchise number for 261 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: a guard, let alone a skilled player who carries the football. 262 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: That's the interesting part. I wonder what it's got to 263 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: be the lowest franchise tag of any position in football. Yeah, 264 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: that I hadn't thought about that. Man, oh man, that's 265 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: that says a lot. And the reason is there's a 266 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: ton of them, and there's not that much drop off 267 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: between the elite guys and the just guys that are 268 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: pretty good. There's not that big of a separation. And 269 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: teams can overcome a players. If a guy can't pass 270 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: protect very well, they can overcome they can. They can 271 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: scheme around that. If a guy can't catch very well, 272 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: they can scheme around that. If he has some things, 273 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: which they all do at least one or two things 274 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: they do really well, teams can use them and scheme 275 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: around them and use other players to fill in. It's 276 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: rough to be a running back right now, I say rough. 277 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: Come on, it's it's a brutal way to make a living. 278 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: But it's hard to get really good money in the 279 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: nf by NFL standards. Oh my gosh. 280 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: The Ravens could be added again with another player. They've 281 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: been making moves this afternoon. Melvin Gordon is one of 282 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: those guys. And now reports are out according to Jeremy Fowler, 283 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: that free agent and veteran free agent Kyle van Ney 284 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: is visiting the Ravens. Per source also out there that 285 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: he could be signing with the Ravens. I've seen that 286 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: from one person on Twitter that the Ravens will be 287 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: signing veteran linebacker Kyle van Ney, familiar name to us 288 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: because the Bills have played against him several times. Also, 289 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: cornerback Ronald Darby is visiting with the Texans. So some 290 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 2: veteran players out there visiting with teams ahead of training 291 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: camp beginning. Some teams have already started training camp. We 292 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: know the Jets began their training camp yesterday, had their 293 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: first practice. We heard from Aaron Rodgers and spoke to 294 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: the media. 295 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: Robert Sala as well. Will be on all. 296 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: Of that as the Bills are set to face the 297 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: New York Jets on the first week of the NFL 298 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: season of the twenty twenty three season on Monday Night 299 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: football that is. So we'll see if anybody else comes 300 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: across this afternoon as signing with new teams. But for 301 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 2: now we've got Melvin Gordon, potentially Kyle van Noy and 302 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: Ronald Darby who's visiting with the Texans. What do you 303 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: think about Kyle van Noy heading to the Ravens. That's 304 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: been a defense that is, they've had some good guys. 305 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: On defense, Oh there on defense. 306 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: Kyle van Noy is somebody I think who still has 307 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 2: has some left in his tank. 308 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting he is. He's one of those guys. 309 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: Van Ney went to the Miami Dolphins for a year 310 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: on a big contract and went right back to the 311 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: New England Patriots the next year. And I don't know, 312 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: I just it's been there's been two. There's only one 313 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: guy who is to me, maybe there's been a couple. 314 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 1: Richard Seymour maybe is one, but he's a Hall of Famer. 315 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: A couple of guys who have left doing New England 316 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: Patriots and been successful in other teams. And I have 317 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,719 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the one, and he's a unicorn. Van 318 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: Noyd tried at once and didn't go well in Miami, 319 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know why it would go better in Baltimore. 320 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: He's had a good career, a really nice career, and 321 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: they've won a lot of games with him, but I 322 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: really have a hard time seeing that were Baltimore's got 323 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: to see something in him though certainly the guys a 324 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: veteran players, got some chops and people have liked his leadership, 325 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: but it did not carry him through in the short 326 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: stint in Miami, and I'd like to know why that was. Now. 327 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: That's when Robert Flores was down in Miami and it 328 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: was a different culture and that culture has now gone 329 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: because it's a new head coach. But it'll be interesting 330 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: to see. Van Noy has some really good years and 331 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: was a real key part of the Patriot defense, and 332 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure his experience and his leadership are a large 333 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: part of why Baltimore wants him at this point of 334 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: his career. 335 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: He was a part of the Dolphins in twenty twenty 336 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: had six sacks, started in thirteen games, than twenty twenty 337 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 2: one with the Patriots, started in eight games, had five sacks. 338 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: And then last year he was a part of the 339 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 2: LA Chargers and had five sacks and started in thirteen games. 340 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: So we'll see if that's going to turn into a signing. 341 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: Right now, it's just reported that he's visiting. I've seen 342 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: reports that he's signing. This came out yesterday. Viking's first 343 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: round pick, wide receiver Jordan Addison was cited for reckless driving. 344 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: He was driving eighty five miles per hour over the 345 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: speed limit when he was stopped. 346 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: Yikes, eighty five over ninety. 347 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 2: Three in the morning. I saw the report said. Three 348 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: in the morning is when he was caught speeding eighty 349 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: five miles per hour over the speed limit. 350 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 3: Not something you want to do. 351 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not ever right, well, ever, right before training 352 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean. 353 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: Right before training camp. 354 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: That's incredibly dangerous. It's it's bad. That'll be interesting to see. 355 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some league punishment for that. Remember 356 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: a few years and I can't remember the kid's name 357 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: who killed a girl in Vegas because he was doing 358 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: that late at night and ran and rerendered a small 359 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: vehicle and killed somebody. So the league is going to 360 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: be extremely sensitive to that. 361 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 3: And that was Henry Ruggs. 362 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs, and they will. Yeah, you don't get away 363 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: with that. That doesn't just go away. I don't think 364 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: in this day and age of the NFL, it won't 365 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: go away. 366 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: Other news and notes, Jaguars assistant strength coach Kevin Maxon 367 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: comes out as gay. He's a first. It's a first 368 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: for a major US men's pro sports team. And Sam Rappaport, 369 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 2: one of our good friends over at the NFL, says 370 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: Kevin nothing but love. Our NFL family is getting stronger 371 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 2: and stronger, braver and braver hashtag Ford progress. 372 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: So I think it's awesome news. 373 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: I was when I went to the University of Missouri 374 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: and I was in college. Michael sam was on the team. 375 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: He was a senior the year that he came out, 376 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: and he was I think it was during his pro day. 377 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 3: I remember being there. 378 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: And he had already come out, and there was a 379 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: lot of people that wanted to talk to him, a 380 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 2: lot of people that thought what he did was very brave. 381 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: His team supported him, they rallied around him. It was 382 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 2: something that the team knew well before he decided to 383 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 2: come out publicly, and I just loved being a part 384 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: of it and seeing it all come together and just 385 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: seeing the way that his team and his coaches supported 386 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: him through that decision to come out publicly. I hope 387 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: that's the same for Kevin Maxon a little bit of 388 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: a different position being a coach, a first out male 389 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: NFL coach part of Jacksonville Jaguars, So I'm excited to 390 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 2: see how the league comes around to support him, how 391 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: his team comes around to support him. I think this 392 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: is a step in the right direction of people feeling 393 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 2: comfortable to truly show who they are and not feel 394 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: like they have to hide who they are from people. 395 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: Right and I Yeah, And it's I think most people 396 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: be surprised at how the atmosphere and locker room is 397 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: pretty tolerant. Yeah, I don't think there's an issue. I 398 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: don't think there would be an issue in most healthy 399 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: locker rooms about you know, guy's lifestyles, that kind of thing, 400 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 1: or whateverever you want to, you know, whatever it is. 401 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: So it's it doesn't surprise me and I and I 402 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: the league is kind of this. I don't know, national thermometer. 403 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: People look to the National foot and the league takes 404 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: lumps for it once in a while too, and rightfully 405 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: so when they should. But they weather those and they 406 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: try and they work and I've said it, they work 407 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: through those problems, those issues, these social issues that face 408 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: the NFL is they kind of they put it right 409 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: out there and deal with it publicly and sometimes it's 410 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: not pretty. I've said this before too. The NFL gets 411 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: almost gets every issue that faces it right, but sometimes 412 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: it takes a long time. But they are willing to 413 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: work on it and make changes. And maybe that's because 414 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: of the narrow demographic that the ownership is and they're 415 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: all kind of the same guy up there, right, They're 416 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: not very diverse, and maybe that's why it takes them 417 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: so long to get there. But they work on it, 418 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: and they get talked and they are willing to be 419 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: talked into it, and they are willing to listen to 420 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: their people that work for each of them and their franchises, 421 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: and they make changes. And you know this, I mean, 422 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: look at the I've said it before on this show. 423 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: This building that we work in is light years ahead 424 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: of where it was fifteen years ago. It's way more diverse, 425 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: it's way more tolerant, way more productive as well. And 426 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to it doesn't all have to do 427 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: with the fact that we've got a good team. A 428 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with the people that 429 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: they hire and the way they go about hiring them. 430 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: It's it's the same in the NFL. They try to 431 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: do things the right way and sometimes we all laugh 432 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: at them and are kind of disgusted by them and 433 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: the way they handle it. But when push comes to cheven, 434 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: when it finally gets around to it, you almost always 435 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: get it right. They almost always get it right. And 436 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: if they haven't gotten it right, it's because they're still 437 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: working to get it right. So I'm I'm I'm right 438 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: there with you in the league. I mean, it's it's 439 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: where it should be. But I'm I just I just 440 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: think the league is going to get this right. 441 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: You know, from the coaching staffs, the players, the business 442 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: side of things across all thirty two teams, to the 443 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: NFL offices, to the fan base that decides to watch 444 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, the NFL is for everyone, and 445 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: that means that everybody should be welcomed and every body 446 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: should feel like they're a part of something. Who is watching, 447 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: who is working, who is a player on the field. 448 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: No matter who you are, no matter what you look like, 449 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: no matter you know, if you're a part of the 450 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus community or not, no matter your gender, you 451 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: should feel welcome by this league. A league that is 452 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 2: watched by so many people, a league that is on 453 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: the forefront of a lot of things, and and like 454 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: you said, is involved in a lot of social issues, 455 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: and and I think can make a really big difference 456 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: in this world that has a platform that a lot 457 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: of people don't, a lot of leagues don't. I think 458 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 2: they should continue to push to be at the forefront 459 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: of a lot of things. And and I think this 460 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 2: is this is one of those things that hey, this 461 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: coach is coming out as gay, rally around him, support him. 462 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 2: Hopefully that means other people can can feel safe enough 463 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: and feel like they don't have to to hide who 464 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: they are because because there's so many people involved with 465 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: the teams, there's so many players involved with the teams, 466 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: there's so many coaches involved with the teams, that not 467 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 2: everybody's going to be the same. 468 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: And that's okay. 469 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: And I think the thing about it too is and 470 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: particularly now you notice there's a lot of women on 471 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: the football side of things. You used to see them 472 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: in the sales, in the marketing, and now they're football people. 473 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: And it's more and more as we get down the road, 474 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: we're getting proven to us before our very eyes that 475 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: everybody who really wants to can contribute wherever they want 476 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: to contribute. If they're given the opportunity, an equal opportunity 477 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: to do it. They'll come through whatever community they're a 478 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: part of. They can contribute to the football end of it, 479 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: as well as the business end of it and the 480 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: leadership end of it and the whatever every facet of 481 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: the business. It's been fun to watch that in this building. 482 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: And I'm it'll be better too, and we'll be further 483 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: along when this ceases to be the point of the story, 484 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: you know, and we don't have to include that descriptive 485 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: term whenever you talk about somebody a new hire or 486 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: a new coach, or it'll be And I think this 487 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: building is getting close to that.

We expressed some of 561 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 2: our concerns and they answered them. So I guess it's 562 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: all it's all kosher. It's all good with the Jets 563 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 2: and Hard Knocks. 564 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: That's Robert Sala trying to make the best of serious. 565 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: He had no control over it, you know, he and 566 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: no question, I mean every team has the same concerns 567 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: that Robert Sala and the Jets have or how much 568 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: you get how how intrusive are you gonna be?

You gotta do it. 581 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: And Salah is trying to make the best of it. 582 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 3: You're not getting out of it. 583 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: At this point. 584 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not getting out of it anyways. Let's head 585 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: over to our obl Friday fan mail bag. 586 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 3: Let's get over to our tweet sheet. 587 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: It's brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official 588 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. We've got some 589 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 2: questions from some of our fans. You could tweet at 590 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: us if you have anything for us, or give us 591 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: a call here at eight oh three five point fifty, 592 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 2: Rick says, with the new stadium set to have a 593 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: grass field rather than artificial turf, including heated coils underneath 594 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 2: to melt the snow and ice, are the Bills giving 595 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: up a major home field advantage to teams not adapt 596 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: to playing in the snow. Seems to me that they are, 597 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: especially to Southern teams. 598 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: Well, if still we're still. 599 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 3: Outside, we're still outside. 600 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still outside. You're still going to be snowing. 601 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: And if it's bad for them, it's bad for you too. 602 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: Or just because you show up and live in it, 603 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: you're going to be better at I don't know, I 604 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: get it. The thing that makes a big difference in 605 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: home field and not home field is mostly the fans. 606 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: The temperature is the same for everybody, and you've got 607 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: to overcome it. I don't the home field advantage has 608 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: to do with the fans and the atmosphere more so 609 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: than than the snow and stuff. I mean the Bills have. 610 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,719 Speaker 1: I mean the Bills got beat in Cleveland in an 611 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: eight inches of snow. I mean, home field is your home. 612 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: It's not about the field itself. To me, certainly, there's 613 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: some advantages to being in your own building that that 614 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 1: do have to do with the surface and all of that. 615 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: But man or man in this day and age, I 616 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: have a hard time getting my mind around us giving 617 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: something up just because it's a it's a different surface. Yeah, 618 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: particularly when you're outside. I mean, what you know, are 619 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: we are we gaining something because we're on grass instead 620 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: of turf at home? I don't know. I don't know. 621 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: I know, I don't think so. I think the advantages, 622 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 1: whatever advantages the gear is going to be there now too. Chicago, 623 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears have a stadium where they have coils 624 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: inside and heat that that field as well. I think 625 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: one of the issues is it was cold. 626 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 3: As heck for that game. It gets cold. I mean 627 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 3: sure melts them, don't It doesn't make it warm. 628 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't make it warm. They just keep it 629 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: from freezing, which means it gets because of the snow 630 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: and the weather, it gets wet, and now you're playing 631 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: in mud. That's the problem, and the field gets ripped up, 632 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: so the next week you come back in there and 633 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: the thing looks horrible, or you gotta you gotta spend 634 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of dollars to get the thing rec 635 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: surfaced with sod so that you can play on it 636 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 1: the next week if you need to. So it's there's 637 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: a little bit of that going on. But the advantage 638 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: I think doesn't fall with any I think the advantage 639 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: falls with whatever team is is that has the advant 640 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: would have the advantage in any circumstance. 641 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think my two cents on it are I mean, hey, 642 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 2: we'll see what the new stadium and the heated coils 643 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 2: and how that affects the field if any I mean, 644 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 2: hopefully they're not playing on a muddy field. That's that's 645 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 2: going to be not fun for anybody. Hopefully it's dry 646 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 2: and that those coils keep the field dry and not slippery. 647 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 2: But I understand and I see that there's an advantage 648 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 2: with practicing here in Buffalo. You're practicing in the cold outside. Yes, 649 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 2: they do practice inside sometimes when the weather's not good 650 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 2: during the winter, whether it's raining, or snowy or slick 651 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 2: on the practice fields. But I think there's an advantage 652 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 2: to being in it during the week to prepare for 653 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 2: a game on Sunday or Thursday or Monday, whatever it 654 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 2: may be. But I think it depends also on who 655 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 2: you ask on the team. I think you could ask 656 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 2: one guy if they enjoy playing in the snow, they 657 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 2: may say yes. You could ask another guy if they 658 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: enjoyed playing in the cold or the snow, and they'll 659 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 2: say no. A lot of these guys were born and 660 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 2: raised in other places. 661 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: The Dolphins have a bunch of guys from Michigan. I 662 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: mean yeah, so yeah. 663 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: You've got people from everywhere on each NFL team. It 664 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 2: doesn't that they're used to playing in it. 665 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: The natural surface is safer and and I think that 666 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: is the reason that Sean McDermott I'm proud. Ye the 667 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: football side, We've. 668 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 3: Heard a lot from players the last few years. 669 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: Von Miller is a huge advocate for natural service. And 670 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: this is the guy that was that did nothing but 671 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: playing his leg on an artificial service and Britons or 672 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: blow is a cl So yeah. 673 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 3: I think that's really cool. 674 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it at all all. 675 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 2: Right, Carl says, who starting in the slot and what 676 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 2: will be the most commonly used personnel on offense? Do 677 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 2: you think what do you think the battle for the 678 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 2: slot is going to be? Or do you think it's 679 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 2: going to be? There are and Saw and I say, 680 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 2: or do you think it's going to be? Because when 681 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 2: I look at the slot in this offense and the 682 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 2: players who could be in that slot, you have very 683 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 2: different body types, and I think the offense that you're running, 684 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 2: depending on who is in that slot at that time, 685 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: is going to be different. I mean, you could have 686 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 2: Dalton being a big slot, you could have. 687 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 3: Hardy being a little slot. 688 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 2: What you can do with Deontay and Dalton Kincaid are 689 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: two different things. So I think it's hard to say 690 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 2: who will be starting in the slot at this point. 691 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 1: That's right, And Trent Sherfield is kind of between both 692 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: of them, so, and Khalil Shakir is the one with 693 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: the experience of doing it. Yeah, I think it will 694 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: depend on who plays the best during training camp, who 695 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: catches the ball the best, who gets open the best, 696 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 1: what the Bills coaching staff thinks will be the best 697 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: matchup for the for the team they're playing whatever in 698 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: whatever week. It could be Dalton Kin Kaid, it could 699 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: be Hearty, it could be Shakir, it could be James Cook. 700 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: For all we know, whoever is the best matchup was 701 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: we'll get the lion's share of the snaps that week. 702 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: Last year, they rotated guys through their a ton it 703 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 1: was you know, it's Mackenzie, it was Shakir, it was Beasley, 704 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: it was Digs, it was Knocks. They did everybody there, 705 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: and I imagine it'll go They'll go through a little 706 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: bit of that this year. The question is will they 707 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: be so good out of one of those personnel combinations 708 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 1: that that becomes their go to formation all the time. 709 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: I kind of doubt that offenses tend to switch people 710 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: out a lot more than the Bills defense has in 711 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: the past, but that I don't think we know that yet. 712 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: I think I think it's up for grabs totally. I 713 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: think the slot receiving spot is up for grabs completely 714 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: for this team in training camp. 715 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 2: And I think, like you said, it could be a 716 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 2: spot that is constantly rotating through different different players because 717 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 2: different players offer you different things when you're in that combination. 718 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 2: Carl also asked what will be the most commonly used 719 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 2: personnel on offense. Last year, we saw this team in 720 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 2: eleven personnel a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, 721 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: a lot, a lot, not as much twelve personnel as 722 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 2: seasons before. I think, you know, you could say, yeah, sure, 723 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: I think twelve personnel is going to be used a 724 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 2: little bit more this season because of a guy like 725 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,280 Speaker 2: Dalton Kinkade a part of the offense with Dawson Knox, 726 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 2: But eleven personnel is kind of just your your go 727 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 2: to when you're running the offense that the Bills do, 728 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 2: so I would assume they'll most commonly use eleven personnel. 729 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 2: I think we could see some twenty one personnel in 730 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 2: there as well this year, maybe a little bit more 731 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 2: than last year, just because of the running backs that 732 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 2: you have in that room. James Cook is a different 733 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 2: running back than Damian Harris. Having those two on the 734 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 2: field at the same time, the defense that you're facing 735 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 2: could have a lot of question marks. 736 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, what happens if you go and we've talked a 737 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,439 Speaker 1: lot about Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid on the field 738 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: at the same time in twelve personnel and what do 739 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: they do? Are they going to book up to stop 740 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 1: the run with Damien Harris in there or whatever, or 741 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: Latavious Murray or what are they gonna do or what 742 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,359 Speaker 1: happens if they take Dawson Knocks off and put Damien Harris, 743 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: a Latavious Murray in is a big back with Dalton 744 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,879 Speaker 1: Kincaid and start switching those guys around and they start 745 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: running the football out of that with James Cook. So 746 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: you got two backs, one tight end and the tight 747 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: end is a kind of a receiving tight end, but 748 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 1: your other running back is a is a hammer. Yeah, 749 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff is fun to think about it. 750 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: He can get really creative because you've got to defend it. 751 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: If you're you know, the Jets or whoever, You're goa like, Okay, 752 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 1: what are we going to do here? Are we going 753 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: to go heavy here against this run two running back set, 754 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: or are we gonna spread it out? Or how are 755 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: we going to do this? And as big a decision 756 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: as that is for the Jets defense, Bill's got to 757 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 1: have a plan no matter what they do. 758 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 2: Right, It's fun to think about because there are a 759 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 2: lot of different combinations that you could have with this offense. 760 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 3: And I'm sure. 761 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 2: I'm sure Dorsey is thinking the same thing with what 762 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 2: he has, what he can do this season with the 763 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 2: different players that he has on this roster. I mean, 764 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 2: he's got a lot to work with, and I'm excited 765 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 2: to see how it all comes together for him and 766 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 2: how it starts to come together during training camp. I 767 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 2: think that's going to be our first glimpse at some 768 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 2: of this when this team decides to go into team 769 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 2: periods throughout training camp. I mean, they're not going to 770 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 2: show us everything during training camp. It's gonna start off 771 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 2: as very vanilla, working some of these younger guys in 772 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 2: and just getting used to being back together with pads 773 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 2: on number one first and foremost. But it'll be Yeah, 774 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 2: it'll be really interesting to start to see this come 775 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 2: together and interesting to see the chemistry between Josh Allen 776 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 2: and Ken Dorsey. I mean those two have said it's 777 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 2: only gotten better this off season. The off season, the 778 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 2: conversations that we've been able to have with each other, 779 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 2: the dialogue that we've had with other offensive weapons who 780 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 2: have a say and who have opinions, and Ken is 781 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 2: down to hear all of it. 782 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: Right, And you get a guy like Steph Diggs who 783 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: now has been in the league for a while and 784 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: has been a number one option and has seen this 785 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: offense play really at a high level. They can start 786 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: to have with Ken Dorsey now like they did with 787 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: dabol They can start to have these conversations that are 788 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: at a level that there's not too many guys that 789 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: can actually carry their weight in that conversation. I mean, 790 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: like with the history of the offense, where it's been, 791 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: where it's headed, because you've got Khalil Shakir, James Cook, 792 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: they're still, you know, learning the nuances and history. And 793 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: what happens is when you get deep into an offense, 794 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: like where Jim Kelly and Andre Reid were, they've been 795 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 1: running this offense for four or five years, they can 796 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: start talking about play and what happens is this play 797 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: you're running came from a play that was a little 798 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: bit different, and teams started defending it, and you put 799 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: a wrinkle into it so that you take advantage of 800 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 1: their defense defending mindset and you'd make hayen then they 801 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: would kind of switch to that and you'd either like 802 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: switch back to what you were doing or go further. 803 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: And so you can start having conversations about where you've 804 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: been with this offense and the plays you used to 805 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: run and the reasons you ran them, and Ken Dorsey's going, yeah, 806 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: I get it, and he's what about this, and they'll 807 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: throw in a creative remedy for some of the problems 808 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: their go to plays have started to have. And so 809 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: these kind of conversations are you know deep, I mean, 810 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 1: you gotta have you gotta remember where you know, you 811 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 1: got to remember the bones of where that play came 812 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: from way back in the day, and you used to 813 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: call it like fifteen words and now you call it 814 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: two words. Everybody knows it because they've run it a 815 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 1: thousand times. You got to kind of know that stuff 816 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 1: to get into these further and further down the road 817 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: conversations now where Steph Diggs is in there obviously wanting 818 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: to contribute and saying, what about this? Remember this?

You know what 821 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean. It's just this, it's a snowball effect of 822 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: where your offense evolves to and that's how it evolves. 823 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: And you got to have guys who, like I said yesterday, 824 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: are PhDs in the offense so that they can have 825 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: that kind of preparedness and that kind of conversation and 826 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: be that prepared because in a game, then you can 827 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,439 Speaker 1: look at each other and kind of go You don't 828 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: say anything, you just kind of give this I thing 829 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: and he goes, yay, I know what you You know 830 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: what I mean. 831 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 3: It's like having a coach on the field with you. 832 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like being able to think the exact 833 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: same thing at the exact same time and take it manager. 834 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 3: Yeah.

Now, how are you doing today? Mark? 848 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 3: I'm good. 849 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 5: How are you guys today? 850 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 3: Doing good? What do you have for us? 851 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 4: Well? 852 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 5: My question, Steve, I've heard you say numerous times, and 853 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 5: I tried to get on yesterday today because you said 854 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 5: it again yesterday when you mentioned the Bill's history over 855 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 5: the last several years of never getting out of Nickel 856 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 5: and in Miami. I'm calling to find out if you 857 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 5: think I'm in left field or if I'm crazy with 858 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 5: this thought. But to me, that gives an advantage to 859 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 5: the other team's coordinator when we continually don't line up 860 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 5: the same guys and there's only so many different ways 861 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 5: you can line guys up in position, different positions where 862 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 5: other coordinators are going to get a handle on that. 863 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 5: Are you giving up an advantage for matchups to the 864 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 5: other coordinator because he's more easily going to dictate personnel 865 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 5: in who he puts out there, where he lines them up, 866 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 5: and we have to adjust to them. And I know 867 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,280 Speaker 5: that's the nature of the game anyway, But I've also 868 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,920 Speaker 5: heard you say offensively, players will come up and say 869 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 5: let's run this play, let's run that play. It was successful, 870 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 5: they didn't cover me, or they didn't do this, whatever, 871 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 5: And then you run out there and you don't get 872 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 5: the same guys in the same positions. Personnel Wise, other 873 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 5: teams change it up. So I'm curious as to what 874 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 5: you think about that. And I'm not saying we don't 875 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 5: need to use those guys consistently all the time, but 876 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 5: I think we need to make teams adjust to us 877 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 5: a little bit more and in moving forward, and I 878 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 5: think that would give us a little bit more of 879 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,399 Speaker 5: an advantage, especially at the end of the year when 880 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 5: you're going up against the best personnel and typically the 881 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 5: best coordinators. Yeah, so I just take your. 882 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: Question, Mark, and it's a philosophical question because we've we've 883 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: said a lot Leslie Frasier. You know, whenever it was 884 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: normal down in distance, wherever it was on the field, 885 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: whatever down and distance it was, he lined up the 886 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: same eleven or the same eleven guys minus the rotational 887 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: defensive linemen that we're in there, same two linebackers Milano 888 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: and Edmunds, same corners whoever's playing that game. And you know, 889 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 1: with Tarren Johnson, there and Boyer and Hyde, same eleven 890 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: type personnel always, and you're saying it kind of gave 891 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: the other team an advantage because they could dictate who 892 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,800 Speaker 1: they put on the field and take advantage of whatever whatever. 893 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: You're right. The problem is you can with what the 894 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: Bills did and did so effectively was it didn't matter 895 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 1: what the offensive coordinator, what people he put on the field. 896 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: The Bills felt like they could match up well enough. 897 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: The difference was that the Bills, because they play the 898 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: same people all the time, those guys are well versed 899 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: in every single defense you can actually throw out there. 900 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 1: They could line up in a short yardage defense with 901 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 1: the Nickel package on the field. They could line up 902 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: in Cover three, Cover four, Cover five, Cover nine, cloud coverage, 903 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: press coverage, they could go zone blitz, They could do 904 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: anything they want. All of those guys knew exactly what 905 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: they were doing. The question is did the quarterback and 906 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: Poyer and Hyde what they do because of their abilities 907 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 1: to know what a quarterback is trying to do through 908 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 1: their film study, is fool the quarterback into thinking he's 909 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: gonna get a coverage and then not giving it to him. 910 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 1: Give him something different. When you get so many reps. 911 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 1: As a defense, with the same guys, you could do 912 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: things non verbally and also trusting that you fool the quarterback. 913 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,399 Speaker 1: So the matchup that the offense thinks they have, you're 914 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna bait. You can bait them into thinking they're gonna 915 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 1: throw it to a guy and then all of a sudden, 916 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,399 Speaker 1: you know it, you know what you're doing, and they don't. 917 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: So the quarterback goes up, goes to throw it to 918 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: that guy, and that guy's covered by nine guys because 919 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: they know you're throwing it there, right, so it you 920 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: got to pull it down that kind of thing. So 921 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: it's a it's a give and take advantage disadvantage. But 922 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: when you think you've got eleven guys that can outplay 923 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: most of the combinations that another team has, or at 924 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: least you're not worse off than you would be with 925 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 1: a different set of guys in there, then it puts 926 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: the It puts the advantage back in the favor of 927 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: the defense, in my opinion, when you've got eleven guys 928 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: that can do that. Certainly the offense can throw guys 929 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: out there and think they can out man outflank you, 930 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: but they better be pretty good because you've got guys 931 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: who know where the weaknesses of their own defense are. 932 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,359 Speaker 1: They know where you're going to try and attack them, 933 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 1: they know where they're you know, we're teams, what teams 934 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 1: try to do to them, and they're ready for that. 935 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: So it's a philosophical question. But the Bills have been 936 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 1: very good defensively. It's hard to argue with their resust. 937 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say Statistically speaking, last year 938 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 2: they ranked second allowing seventeen point eight points per game, 939 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:27,240 Speaker 2: and they ranked sixth allowing three hundred and nineteen total 940 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 2: yards per game, tied for fourth with twenty seven takeaways. 941 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 3: So they were one of the best in the NFL 942 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 3: on defense. 943 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 2: They have been since twenty nineteen, since Sean McDermott came 944 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 2: in here and since Leslie Frasier was the defensive coordinator. 945 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 2: We'll see what changes this year with Sean McDermott calling 946 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,800 Speaker 2: the plays on defense. We've heard about his aggressive nature 947 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 2: and style, but will that change the defense. We'll see 948 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,399 Speaker 2: here soon enough once training camp begins next week. When 949 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 2: we return from break, Caleb Ford, Bill's super fan and 950 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 2: two time cancer survivor, is going to be on with us. 951 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 2: He recently spent a day with the Buffalo Bill is 952 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 2: during mandatory mini camps, so we're excited to hear about 953 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 2: that day and about him and his love for the Bill. 954 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 2: So stick with us here when we return on One 955 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 2: Bill's Live or present by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. 956 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,839 Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by called Maida Health. 957 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 6: Our understanding is outside of a miracle that you can 958 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 6: combat that, but you can never fully defeat it.

I want to hear how 1018 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 2: this came together because usually people over there they're they're 1019 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 2: pretty big Dolphins fans. 1020 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, my my my family is some of them a 1021 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 4: DOLP fans. But which funny enough, my nephew who joined 1022 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 4: me on the trip. He went in a Dolphins fan 1023 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 4: and left a Bills fan for sure. So what I 1024 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 4: can say about how I became a Bills fan is 1025 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 4: my dad. We went to tech or he went to 1026 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 4: Texas A and M and he a big football fan. 1027 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,359 Speaker 4: We were always watching watching football on Saturdays, but he 1028 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,399 Speaker 4: never had any stake in the game for Sundays and said, 1029 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 4: you know, I don't really have a team. I'm never 1030 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 4: really interested like, and so I decided to take it 1031 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 4: upon myself to fund a team. So after the Super 1032 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 4: Bowl one year, I went through you know, the all 1033 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 4: all the cristeria, I went through the fan base. The 1034 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 4: Bills mafia is just stellar. They're awesome. They're everything that 1035 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 4: I am. The players at the time where I love 1036 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 4: just I love the swag of the team, like I 1037 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 4: just I really loved Buffalo found me, I feel like, 1038 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 4: and just through different experiences that I've had, I've ran 1039 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 4: into Bill's fans like since then who have connected with me. 1040 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 4: We've been to games together now and I've I'm just 1041 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 4: fully dived in, uh to the to the Bills franchise. 1042 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: And so you came up, you signed the contract and 1043 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 1: you spent a day with the team. We we're seeing 1044 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 1: watching you now, uh you know, with a headset on 1045 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,919 Speaker 1: calling place for Ken Dorsey kind of thing that. Yeah, 1046 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: what were your impressions? I mean when you when you 1047 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: walk into the room. And I know this too, we 1048 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: have the fit footage you walking into the team meeting. 1049 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,439 Speaker 1: It's pretty intimidating to go in there. We How soon 1050 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 1: was it before you started feeling comfortable around Josh, around 1051 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: the team, around all. I mean, because it had to 1052 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: be a little bit, a little bit uncomfortable to walk 1053 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,919 Speaker 1: into an NFL team meeting to the front of the room. 1054 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was definitely, definitely the nerves were going. 1055 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 4: But uh, I knew I was gonna have a great day. 1056 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 4: But I knew I had to. I had to dive 1057 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 4: into it. I knew I had to. I know I 1058 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 4: had to show out and they were they were there 1059 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,800 Speaker 4: for me, and so I knew decided to take command 1060 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 4: of the room, or at least try to at least, 1061 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 4: and uh so I put my hand, my hand up 1062 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,359 Speaker 4: at least to acknowledge the room. They stood up, give 1063 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,240 Speaker 4: me a standing ovation. It was. It was really special. 1064 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 4: And then after that, once I broke the team down, 1065 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 4: they all came up and shook my hand each and 1066 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,280 Speaker 4: every player and that was a that was really special. 1067 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 4: I just felt like a true member of the team. 1068 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 3: Oh so cool.

Josh Allen, I'm just super excited. I 1204 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 4: think our defense just as a whole is something to 1205 01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,160 Speaker 4: be excited about. Yeah, I got my eye on that team, 1206 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 4: and I got my eye on a Lombardi Trophy for them, 1207 01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,440 Speaker 4: me and Josh Allen. He said, I'll come see you 1208 01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 4: in a Disney World after after I bring home some 1209 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 4: hard But I was like, of course, man, I'm so 1210 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 4: that'll be the plan that Josh Allen after he takes 1211 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 4: home the Lombardy. 1212 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 2: That would be amazing.

If 1232 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 2: you haven't checked it out yet, head over to Buffalo 1233 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 2: Bills on Twitter. I know the stories out there on 1234 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 2: ESPN as well as about an eight minute feature, it 1235 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 2: feels like a two minute feature because it is such 1236 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,479 Speaker 2: a cool, emotional, fun watch and I love being able 1237 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 2: to I love seeing this team partner with people like 1238 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,840 Speaker 2: Caleb partner with people in our community. You can just 1239 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 2: tell there's a lot of good people in this building. 1240 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, and Terry was there, you know, 1241 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 1: as he signed the contract, Brandon Bean sent the letter. 1242 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,920 Speaker 1: It was it was just it's a great gesture, it's 1243 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 1: a great idea. And Caleb Uh for his part, does 1244 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 1: a lot on his own, you know, does a lot 1245 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: for himself. He like we said when we were interviewing him, 1246 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 1: he reached back to some other kids who you know, 1247 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:59,880 Speaker 1: they didn't get their wish granted, but went back and 1248 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 1: was a mentor and a support person for a lot 1249 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 1: of kids who were fighting a battle with cancer as 1250 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 1: well down in Florida. So he reached out and reached 1251 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 1: back to help others who had, you know, gone down 1252 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: his road. And it was really cool to see how, 1253 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, people who seem to like maybe sometimes need 1254 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: our help. 1255 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 3: End up helping. 1256 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Others, you know, helping us as well as others. It's 1257 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: it was really really a great part of that story. 1258 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely we have some other and questions to answer 1259 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 2: part of our Friday fan mail bag, So let's get 1260 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 2: back to some of those questions as we're just days 1261 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 2: away from the first training camp practice. Neil wants to 1262 01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 2: know what role will Taylor rap Fell on this defense. 1263 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 2: I think that's a little bit of a TBD. I 1264 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 2: know he will fill some role. Again, I said this 1265 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 2: on the show earlier this week. With the starting experience 1266 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 2: that he's had with the Los Angeles Rams, you would 1267 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 2: think he's going to play some type of role. I 1268 01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 2: don't know if this is going to be a new 1269 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 2: wrinkle within the Bills defense that Sean McDermott will reveal 1270 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 2: once training camp begins or once the season begins. I 1271 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 2: don't know if he's going to be somebody who is 1272 01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 2: kind of in and out of the defense. He puts 1273 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,480 Speaker 2: up numbers, he puts up stats. I think he's great 1274 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 2: at his position. I think he's a great addition to 1275 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 2: this Bill's defense. What do you think about his role 1276 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 2: on the defense. 1277 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,840 Speaker 1: Well, it's hard for anybody to envision anybody coming in 1278 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 1: and maybe getting on the field as one of the 1279 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 1: starting safeties with Poyer and Hyde here, But I would 1280 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 1: say probably that with a straight face and with honesty. 1281 01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Sean McDermot said, listen, you can compete with those guys. 1282 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 1: If you want to come in here and start, all 1283 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: you gotta do is play better. I don't think this 1284 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 1: coaching staff would hesitate to plug somebody in who they 1285 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 1: feel is a better option than even even if you're 1286 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,280 Speaker 1: talking using the names like Jordan Poorier and Micah Hyde. 1287 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 1: I think Rap, and I think Rap probably made a 1288 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 1: few phone calls to some former teammates like von Miller 1289 01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 1: to find out, Hey, are they what's the deal? Those 1290 01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 1: guys are really good. There's good at safety, do it 1291 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 1: in the in the league as there is in the league. 1292 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 1: And they're giving me this stuff about they're gonna let 1293 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 1: me compete with these guys, and a guy like von 1294 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 1: Miller say, listen, if they say it, it's true. That's 1295 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 1: one of the beauties about Sean McDermot and Brandon Bean. 1296 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 1: They they are brutally honest with all the players, even 1297 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,880 Speaker 1: the ones that are near and dear to their heart. 1298 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: And we've seen it last year and it's been played 1299 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: out so many times and the and the most recent 1300 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 1: example that we all point to is Kyrie Elam being 1301 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 1: a first round draft pick being beat out by a 1302 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 1: sixth round draft pick in Christian Benford on opening day. 1303 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 1: If you're going to start a rookie, usually it's the 1304 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,720 Speaker 1: first round draft pick. Well, the Bills because of their 1305 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 1: play and then because of the preseason, because type of 1306 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 1: guy he is, Christian Benford was on the field. That 1307 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,639 Speaker 1: goes a long way towards credibility for when a coach 1308 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: says something, he means it. And maybe Taylor Rapp came 1309 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 1: here thinking that he's gonna get reps, he's gonna get 1310 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 1: a chance to play. We'll see where they fit him in. 1311 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:20,920 Speaker 2: Do you think there's a world where he could be 1312 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,800 Speaker 2: on the field at the same time as Jordan Poyer 1313 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 2: and Micah Hyde. 1314 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it could happen. Obviously, other teams play 1315 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,760 Speaker 1: three safeties, but like we said, we haven't seen the 1316 01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,599 Speaker 1: Bills do that. Yeah, but we also haven't seen this 1317 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:36,800 Speaker 1: defense with Sean McDermott as the coordinator. So there's a 1318 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 1: lot of things we don't know. So all that we 1319 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 1: don't know has got to be on the table for us. Right. 1320 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 2: You brought up Kyer Elam, Jamie says, I don't understand 1321 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 2: why Elom didn't play more last year. Do you think 1322 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:53,120 Speaker 2: he opens as the starter in camp? Definitely not. I 1323 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 2: don't mean like definitely not. He's not gonna be like 1324 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 2: the first guy out there. He definitely could be, But 1325 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,479 Speaker 2: I mean they're not gonna be call him a starter 1326 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,320 Speaker 2: on the first day of camp. That's not how this 1327 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 2: coaching staff operates. It's you have to earn that starting spot, 1328 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,120 Speaker 2: and and Dane and Kyeir and Christian. 1329 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 3: Will be all battling for that. 1330 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna call anybody a starter on 1331 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 2: day one. We'll see who's in there with first team, 1332 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 2: second team, third team. But even in the first week 1333 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 2: of camp, it's sometimes hard to see what team they're 1334 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 2: in because they're revolving through and rolling through so many 1335 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,719 Speaker 2: different players across the defense, across the offense, just trying 1336 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 2: to get different combinations together, see who's feeling comfortable next 1337 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 2: to each other. That sometimes it's it's hard to see 1338 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,400 Speaker 2: is this guy a part of the first team or 1339 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 2: is he just repping in for this, for this play, 1340 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 2: for this series. 1341 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 3: I think he'll battle for it. 1342 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: Ye hi, your will Oh, absolutely, he's gonna He's got 1343 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 1: to be in the conversation. And he ended the season 1344 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 1: as the starting corner Christian Benford was unable to play 1345 01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: day he played better and got on the field aheaded 1346 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,840 Speaker 1: Dane Jackson ahead of the rest of the corners that 1347 01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:08,160 Speaker 1: were out there. And uh so I would say, yeah, 1348 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the conversation. But I don't think 1349 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:14,640 Speaker 1: the coaching staff's decided on who cornerback two is. I 1350 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,519 Speaker 1: think they love what they've seen from Tredevius so far 1351 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 1: in training camp. In the OTAs Todevius looks like his 1352 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 1: old self. That doesn't you know. So that is hard 1353 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,639 Speaker 1: time I have a hard time seeing anybody beating him out. 1354 01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 1: But there's gonna you know, the competition's open at these positions, 1355 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,720 Speaker 1: and it's it's easy for us to say and have expectations, 1356 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 1: but I don't know that the coaching staff comes in 1357 01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,599 Speaker 1: with the kind of expectations we project onto them. 1358 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 3: Steve, this is a question more for you. 1359 01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,479 Speaker 2: It's from Connor because I was not a part of 1360 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,439 Speaker 2: the team during these years. But who is your favorite 1361 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:54,720 Speaker 2: Drought Bills player? Do you have a couple at the 1362 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,680 Speaker 2: top of your list? I know it's probably hard. There 1363 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 2: were some great guys. I've gotten to meet some of them, 1364 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 2: some of them have have done on stuff with us. 1365 01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's some great dudes. I mean, you know, 1366 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 1: everybody go. You know, Kyle Williams was obviously a very 1367 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 1: prominent player at the end of there out, but he 1368 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,800 Speaker 1: couldn't be He's not considered a drought player because he 1369 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: they went to the playoffs with him. So you could 1370 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: go all the way back to Marshawn Lynch, you could go. 1371 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:16,879 Speaker 3: Back to Freddy Jackson. 1372 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric Molds was a teammate of mind. He was 1373 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 1: there before the drought started, but then after it started 1374 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 1: as well. Lee Evans had a wonderful career here as 1375 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 1: a Buffalo bill. There's a ton of guy I don't 1376 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 1: know that I can I can name a favorite drought player. 1377 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 3: Eric Wood isn't considered a drought player either. 1378 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 1: No, they went to the playoffs. He was, he was 1379 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,679 Speaker 1: a remember of the playoff here, So there you go. 1380 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he's he would a friend of mine. 1381 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: So and you know he still can't pick him. So 1382 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, there's just no way for me 1383 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 1: to say it. I'm you know a guy that I thought. 1384 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,840 Speaker 1: You look back on it and you kind of think, wow, 1385 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 1: I can't believe that guy was on our team. But 1386 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,560 Speaker 1: was a guy like Drew bledsoe me comes in and 1387 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: on a team with three and thirteen talent that went 1388 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,719 Speaker 1: three and thirteen, and he came in as a really 1389 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,680 Speaker 1: good quarterback and was subjected to those seasons. It was. 1390 01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:22,640 Speaker 1: It was rough to watch. He and I are acquainted 1391 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:29,720 Speaker 1: because of those years. I could never pick. I'm I'm 1392 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 1: kind of beyond the point of most fans where I 1393 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 1: go back and nostalgically pick one guy and stuff. 1394 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,479 Speaker 3: It's hard. 1395 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys. 1396 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're going to take a break. But 1397 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 2: when we come back, I want to tease some breaking 1398 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 2: news that Bills fans will be very interested in. It 1399 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 2: involves another team, but a former Bills player. 1400 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,479 Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere here. 1401 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,920 Speaker 2: On One Bill's Live, We're presented by Coalida Health on 1402 01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we're back here on One 1403 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,200 Speaker 2: Bill's a Live. I told you guys there were some 1404 01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 2: breaking news that you would be interested in. 1405 01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 3: And it's out. 1406 01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:22,320 Speaker 2: Per Mike Garif. Former Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley is 1407 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 2: heading two. 1408 01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,440 Speaker 1: The Giants Football Giants. 1409 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:31,000 Speaker 2: That pipeline still goes. It's still running deep. 1410 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:38,799 Speaker 1: Jack Anderson's over there, Let's see McLeod m Brita's over there. 1411 01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,839 Speaker 2: Let's see Isaiah Hodgens is the biggest name from the Bills. 1412 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 2: He had a good year with the with the Giants 1413 01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:47,759 Speaker 2: last season. 1414 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,200 Speaker 1: Some guys over there and and it we were making 1415 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the joke that the Bills had that pipeline from Caroline 1416 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 1: at a Buffalo for a few years. Now it's kind 1417 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:02,000 Speaker 1: of rent its course, but uh, it was. Jal Now, 1418 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 1: Jalen High as a rookie. 1419 01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,680 Speaker 2: Jalen Hide's a rookie out of Tennessee. He was a 1420 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:07,360 Speaker 2: wide receiver that we were interested in. 1421 01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 1: Though right the draft. That's why his name popped me 1422 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:14,799 Speaker 1: because we we were talking about him pre pre draft, 1423 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:15,200 Speaker 1: and by. 1424 01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,880 Speaker 2: We were interested in, I mean Steve Tasker and I 1425 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,879 Speaker 2: not the nast Bills coaching staff. 1426 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:24,760 Speaker 1: Nick. I don't know all these guys, some not too 1427 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 1: many of them. But now Cole Beasley's going to be 1428 01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:31,559 Speaker 1: over there, you think, and I'll say this, Cole Beasley 1429 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 1: is a guy who brings something to the table, and 1430 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,880 Speaker 1: he played very well for the Bills when he was here. 1431 01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is also a New York Giant. Ye, so 1432 01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:48,320 Speaker 1: I didn't realize Tyrod was over there, but that you know, 1433 01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,479 Speaker 1: I thought Cole Beasley played well for the Buffalo Bills 1434 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 1: when he was here, very well and was perfect for 1435 01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:57,680 Speaker 1: a young quarterback like Josh when he was coming up 1436 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 1: and has something and probably does still have something than 1437 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,559 Speaker 1: to offer a certain team, and Dave Ball would know, 1438 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: so no questions. They've got a plan for him, and 1439 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 1: they're filling out their roster and we're gonna see some 1440 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 1: guys like this sign like van neyt you know, going 1441 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:21,639 Speaker 1: to visit the team this week, and you know, Cole 1442 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 1: Beasley being signed there's gonna be some other guys like 1443 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,760 Speaker 1: that in the next week or so. His team's got 1444 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 1: that last one or two roster spots, or maybe they've 1445 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,200 Speaker 1: got a kid that they've looked at through OTA's and 1446 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: mini camps and said, you know what, he's let's let's 1447 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 1: give the let's bring the veteran in. At least he'll 1448 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 1: give us something, you know, leadership wise, something like that. 1449 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,759 Speaker 1: Maybe still got something in the tank. So Cole Beasley 1450 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 1: to the New York Giants. 1451 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 3: Let me let me ask you this question. 1452 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 2: I mean, Saquon Barkley didn't get the deal that he wanted. 1453 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 2: He's now kind of floated out there. Hey, I'm I 1454 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,439 Speaker 2: might have to not play to get what I want. 1455 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 2: I might have to hold out to get what I want. 1456 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 2: If that ends up being the case for Saquon, what 1457 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 2: do you think the Giants' chances are this season? Because 1458 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 2: they're a very different team without Saquon Barkley. That was 1459 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,400 Speaker 2: their offense last year. Yes, Daniel Jones was able to 1460 01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,040 Speaker 2: get them in and out of things, but Saquon Barkley 1461 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 2: was the guy who really drove that train for the offense. 1462 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 3: And if they don't have him, it might be really tough. 1463 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, right off the top of your head, you 1464 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,760 Speaker 1: say they got zero chance without Saquon Barkley. But then again, 1465 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 1: I just said in early in the show and yesterday, 1466 01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:35,759 Speaker 1: and this has been the rhetoric all around the National 1467 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 1: Football League. The reason you're not paying Saquon Barkley right right, 1468 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 1: some jamoke are some jamoke off the street. We'll get 1469 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 1: him in here and it won't be that big a 1470 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,680 Speaker 1: drop off. Well, we'll see. You're gonna find that out. 1471 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 3: I know. 1472 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,559 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley was sixty percent of their entire offense a 1473 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 1: year ago. Sixty over half. I mean, what are you 1474 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna get a guy. What if the 1475 01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,120 Speaker 1: guy is like half the running back Saquon is now 1476 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:01,839 Speaker 1: all of a sudden that goes sixty, goes to thirty. 1477 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,559 Speaker 1: Who was going to be the other seventy percent? 1478 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:04,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1479 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:09,639 Speaker 2: I think I Saquon Barkley and the Giants and the 1480 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,160 Speaker 2: offense that they ran last year, I think is one 1481 01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,360 Speaker 2: of the few exceptions in the NFL of the phrase 1482 01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 2: that running backs don't matter in today's offenses that we 1483 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 2: are seeing. 1484 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:20,559 Speaker 3: He was the offense. 1485 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,840 Speaker 1: I'll say this though, if you're a running back. That 1486 01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: does matter. You're a Saquon Barkley, You're a Derrick Henry, 1487 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 1: what Christian McCaffrey. 1488 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,680 Speaker 3: Maybe Josh Jacobs had an incredible. 1489 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 1: Great year, but that team he didn't stunk it. 1490 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:38,640 Speaker 2: Did He had over sixteen hundred rushing yards. You know, 1491 01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,040 Speaker 2: you got to be Jonathan Taylor. 1492 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 1: You got to be an elite guy in the right situation. 1493 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,760 Speaker 1: And that's one thing about running back. John Robinson, Right, 1494 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't you know a guy like Alvin Kamara. You 1495 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 1: take the head coach out of there, and Alvin Kamara's 1496 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,640 Speaker 1: just a guy now, you know, with Dennis Allen as 1497 01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,439 Speaker 1: their head coach, he's just a guy. Alvin Kamara, who 1498 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,560 Speaker 1: was a who is a crusher. He was like the 1499 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,400 Speaker 1: ultimate weapon two years ago, three years ago. Now he's 1500 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 1: just a guy. 1501 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 2: It's funny to see and yeah, now he's just a 1502 01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:13,080 Speaker 2: guy and not funny, but it's interesting to see how 1503 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 2: he's become just a guy because when I worked at Tennessee, 1504 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 2: Alvin transferred to Tennessee while I was working there, and 1505 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,320 Speaker 2: I got to see some of that potential that he had. 1506 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:26,360 Speaker 2: But he really wasn't used within the offense how he 1507 01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:28,839 Speaker 2: was used in the NFL in his first two seasons, 1508 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 2: and when he blew up, he was just a guy 1509 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,840 Speaker 2: at Tennessee. Right he was running back number two because 1510 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:36,840 Speaker 2: we had a running back named Jalen Hurd who spent 1511 01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 2: some time with the San Francisco forty nine ers. I 1512 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,320 Speaker 2: don't think he's in the NFL anymore. He was our 1513 01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,120 Speaker 2: go to running back. Alvin Kamara got some touches, but 1514 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,680 Speaker 2: he was not used to his ability, to his strengths, 1515 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,400 Speaker 2: and I was waiting and wondering what it would be 1516 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,160 Speaker 2: like for him in the NFL. He came out and 1517 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, he was the guy for a few 1518 01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 2: years and now he's just a guy. 1519 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 1: He's the ultimate WHI and for a minute, and you 1520 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 1: change that, you change the head coach and the offense 1521 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,040 Speaker 1: and all those guys over there. Now he's you know, 1522 01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 1: he's disappeared. So you transpose that onto what's going on 1523 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,639 Speaker 1: with Saquon Barkley over there, and what the Giants will 1524 01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 1: look like without and with or without him, and day 1525 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,720 Speaker 1: Ball's gonna have a plan. I mean, they're you know 1526 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 1: not There's not very many teams that can boast a 1527 01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 1: guy like Saquon Barkley we've just been talking about. He's 1528 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 1: an elite guy, So I don't know that it's gonna 1529 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 1: be that big a drop. You like to think, oh 1530 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 1: my gosh, Saquon Barkley, they're gonna, they're gonna they're gonna 1531 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 1: crash and burn without him, But I don't know. 1532 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,719 Speaker 2: Brian day Ball was a great offensive coordinator for the Bills. 1533 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,880 Speaker 2: He's he's an offensive minded guy. I think he's been 1534 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 2: a great coach for the Giants, So he'll probably be 1535 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,120 Speaker 2: able to figure it out maybe without Saquon. And we're 1536 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 2: not saying that Saquon Barkley is not gonna be a 1537 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,040 Speaker 2: part of the team this year. He's just kind of 1538 01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:00,639 Speaker 2: floated that out there as maybe an idea, an option 1539 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,519 Speaker 2: for him because he is not happy with the long 1540 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,000 Speaker 2: term deal that he didn't get. He doesn't want to 1541 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 2: play on that franchise tag. He wants more money than that. 1542 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:13,000 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens when these guys report for 1543 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,360 Speaker 2: training camp and if he's going to be a player 1544 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:16,320 Speaker 2: that shows up or not. 1545 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,559 Speaker 1: The Giants reportedly offered him thirteen million a year and 1546 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 1: he did not take it. If he has to sit out, 1547 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 1: he'll never get the money back. He's gonna blow this year, 1548 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:28,959 Speaker 1: the ten point. 1549 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 2: Nine, and what happened to the last I'm not saying 1550 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 2: the two are the same, but what happened to the 1551 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:35,439 Speaker 2: last running back that's sat out? 1552 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 3: Le'Veon bell? 1553 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 1: Le'Veon bell, look at and look at the last And 1554 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 1: also this though on the other side, the last team 1555 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,719 Speaker 1: that paid a running back big money was the Carolina 1556 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,640 Speaker 1: Panthers and Christian McCaffrey. Now he's not there anymore. They 1557 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 1: the contract was an albatross. You get one season where 1558 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 1: he can't finish or doesn't play, and the money is 1559 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,640 Speaker 1: flushed right down the toilet. He can't you don't get 1560 01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,600 Speaker 1: anything for it. Yeah, when in actuality, for half of 1561 01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 1: that money, you could have an entire four person room 1562 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:08,200 Speaker 1: full of funding running backs. And you know, so it's 1563 01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:12,519 Speaker 1: it's an economic decision and a value and a production decision. 1564 01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,800 Speaker 1: You know. I think the Buffalo Bills are sitting here 1565 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 1: with with James Cook, Damian Harris and Latavius Murray and 1566 01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 1: Lahim Hines, all those together don't add up to thirteen 1567 01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: million dollars and not even close. Yeah, and you're gonna 1568 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 1: put all your eggs into that. What happens when he 1569 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,759 Speaker 1: steps off the curb in training camp, snaps his ankle 1570 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:42,960 Speaker 1: just out of you're you know, yeah, the Giants won't budge. 1571 01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:44,759 Speaker 1: If I'm the Giants, I don't budge. 1572 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,080 Speaker 2: Speaking of running backs, let's go back to our fan 1573 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 2: mail bag, Ed says, well, the Bills have a one 1574 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,200 Speaker 2: thousand yard rusher this season. 1575 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,040 Speaker 3: If so, who is it? Or will the rushing attack 1576 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 3: be by committee? 1577 01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,240 Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say the rushing attack is 1578 01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,720 Speaker 2: gonna be by just because of the players that are 1579 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,599 Speaker 2: on this roster. There could be a guy who reveals 1580 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,680 Speaker 2: himself as the number one guy during training camp. But 1581 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:09,880 Speaker 2: you have running backs on this roster who can offer 1582 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 2: different things, different body types, They can be used in 1583 01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,920 Speaker 2: different ways. Do you think one of them has the 1584 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 2: potential to be a one thousand yard rusher this season? 1585 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:21,559 Speaker 1: All of them could. But they're gonna have to emerge 1586 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: and like somebody's gonna have to be the lead dog. 1587 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,679 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to be significantly better that he's gonna 1588 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 1: have to prove himself to be the guy they want 1589 01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:29,599 Speaker 1: on the field all the time. That's gonna be hard 1590 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 1: to do because you get the feeling Sean McDermott likes 1591 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:37,080 Speaker 1: fresh guys, and so I think it'll take a lot 1592 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: for a running back to prove that to this coaching 1593 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 1: staff and to get them to change their philosophy. You're 1594 01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:45,760 Speaker 1: gonna have to have one. Not only are you gonna 1595 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 1: have to have one guy that's really, really good, but 1596 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 1: he's also gonna have to be significantly better than the 1597 01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: other two guys in the room. Are the three guys 1598 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 1: in the room. And so given what we know Latavius 1599 01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,799 Speaker 1: Murray and Damien Harris and James Cook, no, he's gonna stink. 1600 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,400 Speaker 1: So one of them is really gonna have to elevate 1601 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,800 Speaker 1: to be a guy that this coaching staff leaves out 1602 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,760 Speaker 1: there when they could put a fresh guy out there 1603 01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,600 Speaker 1: because that's what they've always done in the past. That 1604 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it won't happen because of you know, sets 1605 01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 1: the circumstances change where they get a couple of games 1606 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden in a row, and one of 1607 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,719 Speaker 1: the four or three of them starts to go really 1608 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 1: good and they start to get something going and doesn't 1609 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,280 Speaker 1: seem to work with anybody else. Then you could see him, 1610 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 1: all right, that guy, we're gonna leave him in and 1611 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:30,919 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna. 1612 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 2: Ride him until he drops then yeah, okay, and that's 1613 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 2: what you I mean, you go with the hot hand 1614 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 2: when it comes to the to the running game. If 1615 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,280 Speaker 2: you've got a guy that you're handing the ball off too, 1616 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:42,519 Speaker 2: and he's gaining over five yards per carry, yeah you're 1617 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 2: gonna keep handing it off to him. If he's got 1618 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 2: the hot hand, that's who you're gonna go with. 1619 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 1: That. 1620 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,639 Speaker 3: That could change game to the game. But they've they've 1621 01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,559 Speaker 3: talked about that before. The coaching staff has said that. 1622 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 1: Even so, I mean you've seen it. I mean there 1623 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,240 Speaker 1: were games when with Zach Moss and Devin Singletary where 1624 01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,639 Speaker 1: whichever one guy come in and starts snapping off runs, 1625 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:01,559 Speaker 1: he stays. All of a sudden, the next series comes out, 1626 01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 1: he's out there again. Usually they were switching in and out. 1627 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,759 Speaker 1: He just keeps going back out there, and that could happen. 1628 01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:13,240 Speaker 1: But like like I said that, and like that happened, 1629 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,880 Speaker 1: they'll also carry that into the next week as well. Yes, 1630 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 1: they'll say, all right, he was out there, we're gonna 1631 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,280 Speaker 1: leave him in. Go, you haven't lost it, let's go, 1632 01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 1: And they'll just keep going with that. And then as 1633 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,440 Speaker 1: we've seen, he coughs it up once and he disappears. 1634 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 1: You're out of here, right, So he disappeared. So that's 1635 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 1: what it'll take for the Bills. All that stuff is 1636 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,479 Speaker 1: what it'll take for the Bills to have a thousand 1637 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,200 Speaker 1: yard rusher who's not named Josh Allen. 1638 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:40,519 Speaker 2: And just for some contexts, Devin Singletary the closest he 1639 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,120 Speaker 2: got to being a one thousand yard rusher a part 1640 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 2: of the Bills was in twenty twenty one. He had 1641 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:48,920 Speaker 2: eight hundred and seventy rushing yards averaged four point six 1642 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 2: yards per attempt. He had one hundred and eighty eight attempts. 1643 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 2: That's the closest that he got. Last season, when he 1644 01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 2: was sharing the field with James Cook, Devin Singletary had 1645 01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,840 Speaker 2: eight hundred and nineteen teen rushing yards. James Cook had 1646 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 2: five hundred and seven rushing yards. So a little bit 1647 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,639 Speaker 2: of context there, Devin Singletary was a little bit more 1648 01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,080 Speaker 2: than one hundred yards off from reaching it in his 1649 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 2: best season with the Bills, still had eight hundred last year, 1650 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,400 Speaker 2: James Cook had about half half of. 1651 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 1: That, right, So yeah, it'll be interesting to see. That 1652 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 1: remains to be seen. We've got so many questions to 1653 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 1: answer about what this team's going to look like offensively 1654 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: and defensively. We're you know, we start up in like 1655 01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:33,840 Speaker 1: five days. 1656 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,800 Speaker 2: Let's go, okay, break time, but when we come back, 1657 01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:40,599 Speaker 2: you guys won't believe this. I just saw this on Twitter. 1658 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,520 Speaker 2: It is hilarious something that the Jets did. Maybe not hilarious, 1659 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:47,559 Speaker 2: but like, come on, so don't go anywhere on One 1660 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:48,000 Speaker 2: Bill's Live. 1661 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:48,760 Speaker 3: Will be right back. 1662 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:56,559 Speaker 2: We're presented by Clydahealth on Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, 1663 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 2: just a couple of minutes left in this Friday edition 1664 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,840 Speaker 2: of One Bills Live. And I said, the Jets did 1665 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:05,040 Speaker 2: something that was just like lol, Like come on, bro. 1666 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 2: So they were streaming their training camp practice and you 1667 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,400 Speaker 2: know things are going on in the background. Practice is 1668 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,960 Speaker 2: going on, and what is the camera catch in the background. 1669 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,639 Speaker 2: The camera cacked a tackling dummy that had a Bill's 1670 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:25,280 Speaker 2: logo taped onto it. So the players were tackling essentially 1671 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:30,720 Speaker 2: a Bill's tackling dummy, envisioning what Bills player am I tackling? 1672 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 1: Well, pretty funny. It's not like they made the dummy 1673 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:41,680 Speaker 1: tackling dummy look like it's a piece of paper with 1674 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:46,400 Speaker 1: the charging Buffalo so I don't know, I get it. 1675 01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:50,920 Speaker 1: Good for them, but we'll look for that on hard knocks. 1676 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,559 Speaker 1: See if that happens. I know, right, Yeah, did they? 1677 01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 1: I wonderf they had one with Patriots one. 1678 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:58,120 Speaker 2: Which you know the teams or maybe it's just the 1679 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,559 Speaker 2: Bills right now, since that's their week one, baby, and 1680 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 2: we're already prepared. Yeah, be in practice number one. We've 1681 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 2: got our opponent taped to our tackling dummy. 1682 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,040 Speaker 1: It was the pass rushers, just says in the story 1683 01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,719 Speaker 1: of New England. Patriots logo was also shown. Uh, Miami 1684 01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,519 Speaker 1: logo didn't make the broadcast, but it's safe to assume 1685 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,960 Speaker 1: they were over there at some point. As one long 1686 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: time jet Jets observed. This is from the Buffalo News 1687 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 1: reporting this. They said, a long time Jets observers said, 1688 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:31,280 Speaker 1: that is so jets like. 1689 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 3: That is so jets like. 1690 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,160 Speaker 2: And if you're watching on MSG, you can see that 1691 01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 2: tackling dummy with the Bill's logo taped to the top 1692 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,679 Speaker 2: of it. Oh my gosh, that made me chuckle. 1693 01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 1: That made me chuck. It's it's coming, it's coming fast, 1694 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,600 Speaker 1: it's coming fast. We start practice on Wednesday, and. 1695 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 3: You guys will be out there on one shift. 1696 01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,800 Speaker 1: Gears and hit the gas Man.
