00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: to have to, right, Yeah, I kind of want to

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: have to, sort of need to need to want to. Yeah,

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta watch the game. Yeah. Last year,

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: the Sunday night opening game the Bears and the Packers.

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: I think that was at Lambeau, right, one of the

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: great games of the season opening weekend wasn't Lambo or Chicago.

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember. It's when Rogers was out for two

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: series at that knee comes limping on Allah Willis Reid

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: coming out of the tunnel at halftime and he throws

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: that last shot down into the corner at the end

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: of the game to win it. Khalil Mallio manteok over

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 1: the game. Great game And if it's that Soldier Field,

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: are you sure? I'm almost positive. I don't know. I'm

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: looking at I remember though it was at Lambo. What

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: do I know? Yeah, Lambo um nice je. That game

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: was so good that to me, it is Look, it's

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: not the super Bowl, the defending Super Bowl champs is

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: usually occurs on opening weekend, but it's it's a great

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: matchup and two legendary teams, two original NFL teams on

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: the one hundredth the season, to start the one hundredth

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: season of NFL football. It is perfect, a perfect way

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: to start it. Stars on both sides of the ball

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: on both teams. A classic venue lamb in Soldier Field

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: in Chicago what was once a classic venue and should

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: be a great game. I'm really looking forward to watching

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: tonight's game. I hope I can stay awake. I hope

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: it's worth staying awake for until they've been bitter end,

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, eleven thirty or so. I think it will

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: be right. I'm kind of I'm with you one hundred

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: percent on I hope the game lives up to it.

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: I hope the whole season lives up to it. I'm

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm ready to see the new head

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: coach of the Green Bay Packers. Haven't had that for

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: a long time. The Bears are relevant in the NFC,

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't think, and I think I think the Packers

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: are the team to beat in that division, despite what

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: the Bears did last year, and despite the I don't

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: care if they've got you know, Morton Anderson or Jan

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Stenerude kicking for him. They were a good team last year,

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: but their offense wasn't good enough. I don't know that

53
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: they've done enough to fix it. I don't know if

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky is gonna be better than he was last year.

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Even if he's better, or the guys around him going

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to be better. He can't really expect that defense to

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: have that kind a year again this year, although they may.

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: But I think the Packers, with a with a fresh

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: head coach and a guy who's an elite quarterback playing

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers, I think that I think the pack

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: is the team to beat this season. So, um, I

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a really interesting game. I like

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: the fact that the league a few years ago and

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell took over as a commissioner, they started putting

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: these big important divisional games at the front of the

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: schedule and at the very end of the schedule. I

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: think it's really cool. Uh. You know, the Bills start

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: out with the Jets this weekend. I think that's that's

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: a great game for them. But this Bears Packers matchup

70
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: for the hundredth season, there's something good about it. I'm

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: okay with that. Two of the iconic, just original whatever. Okay, yeah,

72
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: I think it's perfect. What do you mean? Okay, I'd

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: be perfect if it is you and me starting now tonight,

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's if it was here and

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo and we were playing I don't know

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: somebody else. I think it's great. Two historic franchises, great uniforms. Uh,

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: great fans in Chicago. Uh. How many times have they played?

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing. I'm looking at six thousand or something, right,

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah. They first met on November twenty seventh,

80
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty at Cubb's Park where Chicago Staley's defeated the

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers twenty to nothing ninety six. This is

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: the one hundred ninety seventh meeting all time between the theres.

83
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: One hundred and ninety seven. That's pretty big. And I'll

84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: tell you talk to this is not it's kind of funny.

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: It is funny because I'm a Buffalo guy, so I

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: don't really care about the Chicago Green Bay guess you

87
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: go to back and talk to guys like Mike Ditka

88
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: and then some of the old Packer guys. They still

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: hate each other. Yeah, you know, yep, they still hate

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: each other. Yep. That'll give you some idea of how

91
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: the league's changed, you know. Now it's this is big

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: fraternity right where these guys trained together in the off season.

93
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: Back then, Man, it was a bar fight. I said

94
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: that yesterday about some of the old Raiders Chiefs games

95
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: back in the old AFL days. Same thing in Green Bay, Chicago.

96
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Man o, Man, those guys they carried it off the field.

97
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't just they didn't leave it on.

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: They didn't leave it in the behind on the field.

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: They carried it with him wherever they went. Should be

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: a great one. Toe it's gonna be great. Great atmosphere

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: should be a great atmosphere. Are you girding your loins

102
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: for the for the pre I know it's a hundredth year,

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: and I know the league is gonna do some cool stuff,

104
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: some stuff, but they're also gonna do some I'm sure

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: we're I don't know what it is. I'm just guessing

106
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a lot of stuff. It's like,

107
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like by week six, we're gonna be like,

108
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: all right with a hundred year things. Oh really, sure,

109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be some of it's gonna be

110
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: very nice, particularly the super Bowl. You know she's winding

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: up the hundred. I'm pretty sure that there's gonna be

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: some of this hundredth year stuff like this pre you

113
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: know the pregame stuff that's gonna go like nine hours.

114
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, the game's gonna you're gonna have six you

115
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: have dignitaries, you're gonna commemorate, you know, the nineteen forty

116
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: seven matchup of it. You know what, I don't really

117
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, you know what, I'm a little bit

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm just ready to be like, Okay, well, I think

119
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: they're I'll pick my spots. I won't watch everything, but

120
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: you know what I've I've learned over the years of

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: watching pro football, and I've watched much more than I

122
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: care to admit. M Stay away from pregame shows. Stay

123
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: away from pregame hight, what times kickoffs tonight A twenty?

124
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: My TV goes on at eight twenty tonight. You know,

125
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't need all the setup. I understand the implications.

126
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: They're very rarely do I and probably a result of um,

127
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, working at Bills games for all these years

128
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: thirty two thirty four years or whatever, and not having

129
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to park in front of a TV set

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: and watch the pregame and worry about who the guests

131
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: are and how the hosts are dressed, and who's who's

132
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: saying what. I don't care. I don't care about all

133
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: that pregame stuff. What times kickoff boom, that's when the

134
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: TV goes on, And I'll employ that technic and I

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: I'll probably do some Bills Jets research and work tonight

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: right until A twenty and flick on the TV when

137
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: the game kicks off. Yeah, because everything nothing else matters.

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, I know people like the pregame stuff,

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: and we do pregame stuff here, but it's it's telling

140
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: too because the game kicks off, not at eight. At

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: eight twenty. They got the anthem, the marching band, the dignitaries, Yeah,

142
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the you know, the the hype videos, the fifteen minute

143
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: introductions of eleven guys is going to take them out.

144
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: You know, they got a different you know, the smoke

145
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: and the you know everybody does that, but man, they

146
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: don't start that stuff until eight, right, and the commercials

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: right to avoid the commercials as much as they can,

148
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: and it's become uh, it's gone back and forth. But

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the anthem um, sometimes they show it, sometimes they don't.

150
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: They used to. They used to never show the anthem,

151
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: and then they did for a while, then they don't

152
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: do it again. Um, they don't do it for regular

153
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: one o'clock Sunday afternoon games. They don't show those. They

154
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: just they go away for commercial and they come back

155
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: and they pop on the the you know, the two

156
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: guys in the booth and they'll start talking about the game.

157
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: That's what they do. But all that, I'm interested to

158
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: see how that's gonna go, because you know, I was

159
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: in that business for tonight or the whole thing, the

160
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: whole twenty They've got to have some new graphics package,

161
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: a new NFL mandatory hype video that they're gonna have

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: to show every single game. All the broadcast partners will

163
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: show the same video every game, you know what I mean.

164
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what that is, because there's people

165
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: that do nothing, to have done nothing for six months

166
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: except get that together, right, you know, I just wanted

167
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: to watch a game. I don't care about the previoight,

168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't, and I'm ready for that too. We'll talk

169
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: about it tomorrow. We're gonna talk about that, and we're

170
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Bills a lot today. The Bills

171
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: and the New York Jets. Quiet around here at One

172
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive today. Um, no practice for the team today,

173
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: although the players are in. So the deal was and

174
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: this kind of snuck up on me, but they had

175
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: the Monday was a get their practice day, so they

176
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: got their practice in Monday, Tuesday off, they practiced Wednesday. No,

177
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it was Tuesday. Yes, Tuesday was an off day.

178
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: So they practice three days Monday, Wednesday, Wednesday, and Friday

179
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: tomorrow as they get their three days now. We say

180
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: they're practice, but they're everybody's in here today. They're here

181
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: for half a day and they got they work out,

182
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: they do all this stuff. It's not like they get

183
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: a complete day off. Their meetings, walk through treatment, all

184
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and they're walking, you know, doing and

185
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: it's all game plan specific too. This is much much

186
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: different than going out and trying to get better at

187
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: your you know, at your hook block. If you're an

188
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: offensive linement, you're you're out there going okay, there, here's

189
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, here's what we expect. And remember

190
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: now we're gonna you know, all the details of the

191
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: game planner are getting ironed out and they're walking through

192
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: them today and all these they'll be out of here,

193
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: but they're in fact they're probably done now. Probably getting

194
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah, and be back tomorrow for a

195
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: regular Frinday. Yeah, it's it's Saturday place Sunday. Yes, Friday

196
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: practice probably will be too much. It'll be a lot

197
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: of situational stuff Saturday. That's all it is. But it's

198
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: interesting to me, and I was I was put this

199
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: out there yesterday at it and I didn't really get

200
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: a real strong answer that because of the long day,

201
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: long week. I'm sorry, you know, they cut They had

202
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: their last game on Thursday, so they had a full Friday,

203
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: you know, and they weekend off, and they were they

204
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: started installing the game plan of doing all that. I'm

205
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: I wonder how much, and I'm sure they had everything

206
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: to do with it. The sports science department and all

207
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: the trainers and medical people said, Okay, if you want

208
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: optimum to if you want these guys to be physically

209
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: energized and chomping at the bit with so much stored

210
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: up energy, on Sunday at one o'clock, here's what you're

211
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to do on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, you know, Tuesday,

212
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: all that they're gonna line. They mapped it all out,

213
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what it came out to. A day off,

214
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: a light day on Thursday tomorrow. I don't know what

215
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: they'll do, how hard they'll practice, but that'll all be

216
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: mapped out by the sports science side of the thing.

217
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: That's that's really interesting to me. Yeah me too. I was.

218
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: I wish we'd be great to get answers on that.

219
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if any but I thought about the

220
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: exact same thing this morning, this weird schedule to be

221
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: off on Thursday. I said the same as you. Separately,

222
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: I said, I bet this has something to do with

223
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: tapping into what the sports science people say is the

224
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: optimum way to maximize energy for Sunday. And I do sense,

225
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: and I'm curious to see if you agree with this.

226
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Just talking to coach McDermott a couple of times during

227
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, he is more plugged into

228
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: listening because they have a sports science staff, more plugged

229
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: into listening to them about everything including a clock management,

230
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: gained time management. Maybe you know, we we even talked

231
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: about it, but maybe even back in the draft, and

232
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure planning for the schedule for this week, I'm

233
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: sure he consulted with the sports science people, right Yeause

234
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: he seems like he's more tuned into that than he

235
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: was in his first two years. To think about it,

236
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: and I know some head kinds Sean McDermot and the

237
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: interactions we have, which are you know, limited at best,

238
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I think he thrives on it, and which is exactly

239
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: where you want your coach to do. But here's think

240
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: about it. You know, you spend your whole life as

241
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: a coach going up, you're grinding through film and you're

242
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: coming up with game plans, and you're talking to the players,

243
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: getting them motivated and putting it inside them to go

244
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: out and execute this game plan that you've put together.

245
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: Then you get to be a head coach and all

246
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got to set a schedule for

247
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: a team to get him peeking on the right day

248
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: at the right time of day. And you've got a

249
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: sports science department that does that. And then on game

250
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: day in the actual game, you've got an analytics department

251
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: where who's got a voice on the headset to saying, hey, listen,

252
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: on this third and down, If it's less than two

253
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: point five yards, this is a spot and the fielding

254
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: you need to go for it. If it's fourth and

255
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: less than two point five, you need to go on

256
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: fourth and down. You know, he got to weigh that

257
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: with how your team's playing that day. Is this a

258
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: different day than all the days that we've compiled that,

259
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: Is there any different variable that changes that? And then

260
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: you get you know, so he's got sports science people,

261
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: he's got analytics people, he's got his own coaching staff,

262
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and they're and an offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator. He's got

263
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: scouting guys that he's talking to, and he's got a

264
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: relationship with his general manager. About Foster Manu, I mean,

265
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: where does he get to coach? Yeah, you know, yeah,

266
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: that's what this turns into. I mean, you can't. And

267
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't worry about Sean in that

268
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: regard as far as he won't be held hostage by

269
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: analytics or what the sports science people say. But one

270
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: of the I think great underrated things about Sean McDermott

271
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: and again third year now going into his third year,

272
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: I believe is his willingness to change. Right. He doesn't

273
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: come in with this is how I coach, this is

274
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: what we do week one, this is what our game

275
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: practice schedule looks like for the week of a game.

276
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: This is when I use my time outs. And he's

277
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: admitted it. You know, he does a serious self examination

278
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the season about how things went,

279
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: the decisions he made, did it work or not work?

280
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: And I think he is clear and that he is

281
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: willing and eager to change. And I think that's one

282
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: of the great underrated, untalked about things about Sean McDermott

283
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: and I think we're seeing a little bit of that

284
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: when it comes through the use of analytics and a

285
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: variety affatches, not just what are you doing on fourth down,

286
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: but in a variety of ways this year, I think

287
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: they're open to it, and I wouldn't be surprised if

288
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: we find out during the course of the season as

289
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: decisions are made that it was kind of based on

290
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: an analytical analysis. I am. I'm totally with you, and

291
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I agree. I think he has a real I think

292
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: his focus, like he has his focus his players with

293
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: is focusing on improvement and he self analysis and he

294
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: gets feedback from other people. He had in the exit

295
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: interviews this last year, it was a big deal that

296
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: he asked the players, Hey, what about our coaching staff?

297
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: What was you know? What you like? Would you dislike?

298
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: You know? And be specific and he has a real

299
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: hunger and an appetite to improve, and that comes with

300
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: a willingness to hey, I need to improve. I gotta change.

301
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: And that's that's why a lot of people don't improve.

302
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: They they're not they're afraid to change, or it's too

303
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: uncomfortable to change their lifestyle or their habits to do that.

304
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: And back in the old you know how those you know,

305
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: those old time football coaches. It's my way or the highway.

306
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: It was cliche. It's it's not that way anymore. These

307
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: guys are like, listen, we're gonna get better. We gotta change.

308
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: And his willingness to do that is a highly underrated attribute.

309
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: And plus the fact that he is hungry to improve

310
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: and go down this road with sports performance and sports

311
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: science and the medical staff and recovery and tinkering with

312
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the schedule, and that became I think the first time

313
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: I ever got exposed to these coaches around the league,

314
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: tinkering with the schedule happened. The first time was way

315
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: back in the eighties. Bill Walsh did it, who was

316
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: a contemporary of Marv Levy. They both had a different

317
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: kind of schedule approach to their schedule. And then it

318
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: came in. The next time I heard about it in

319
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: a big way was with Chip Kelly in Philadelphia. He

320
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: had those guys. They would work hard on a Saturday

321
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: and break a sweat on a Saturday when everybody else

322
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: was off their feet, like in street clothes, just doing

323
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: a walkthrough. For years, it was that way up till that.

324
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: And now teams have really started to attack it. And

325
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: this is I think further evidence of it this week

326
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: where they have a nine day window or an eight

327
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: day yeah, nine day window. Thursday game, you got a

328
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Friday and a Saturday off along with a Sunday to mon.

329
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: You got all this time before your game. Okay, let's

330
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: maximize it physically with our schedule and our meeting schedules

331
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: and get the most out of it. It's a man

332
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: you gotta be all over it, I mean, and his

333
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: willingness to do that mcdermot's willingness do that and the

334
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: players and to implement it right away with all the

335
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: input from the experts. That's where the league is at

336
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: right now. Well, we got a season coming up. On Sunday.

337
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: The Bills made a little change on their practice squad today.

338
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: They released tight end Nate Becker, who had some good

339
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: moments in the preseason as a fullback end to tight end.

340
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: Released from the practice squad on the Bills added free

341
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: agent defensive tackle Vincent Taylor. He was a Dolphins sixth

342
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: round pick in twenty seventeen. Played thirteen games as a

343
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: rookie the twenty seventeen seasons with Miami. Made some plays,

344
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: but was released this past Monday. Vincent Taylor now on

345
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: the Bills practice squad. Six three, three hundred eleven pound

346
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Vincent Taylor is now on the Buffalo Bills practice squad.

347
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: And that's it. As we said, walk through, it looks

348
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: like today and a couple of meetings and the players

349
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: are gone back tomorrow. We got a good show today, Steve.

350
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a buddy of yours on coming up

351
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. Rich Cannon, longtime NFL

352
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: quarterback Rich Gannon, is calling the game on Sunday on

353
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: the NFL on CBS. Rich Gannon will be there calling

354
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: the game the Bills and the New York Jets along

355
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: with Kevin Harland. That's a good crew with it two

356
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: or three I worked. I worked every weekend with him

357
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: last year. I was their sideline guy. And uh yeah,

358
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: they're Kevin's is really the best in the business. He

359
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: is one of the busiest guys in He's got radio tonight.

360
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: He does radio Thursday night radio. He'll do um NBA

361
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: games when the NBA kicks in, he'll do NFL games

362
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: as well. He's he travels absolutely constantly. UM it's best.

363
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: The downside of what he does. But man old man

364
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: is he's he's money on the mic, and rich Gannon's

365
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. Rich is a grinder, absolutely a grinder. He's

366
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: a he's a serious dude. He's a little different than I.

367
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, I was in a booth. Rich is a

368
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: grinder analytics and he's got that quarterback mentality from the

369
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: point of mentality really good. He was an MVP of

370
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: the former MVP of the League for the Raiders back

371
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: in O two. He was John Gruden's favorite quarterback of

372
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: all time. I think Gruden still measures all his guys

373
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: against rich Gannon in his commitment, and Rich does the

374
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: attacks his analytics role, analytic analyst role in the booth

375
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: the same way he did as a quarterback. So it

376
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: was fun to work with him. I thought it was

377
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: a privilege, and they were. They were great to me

378
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: when I worked with him fore years. So I'm looking

379
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: forward to seeing him. Rich Gann is gonna be with

380
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: us twelve thirty. Thurman, Thomas Hall of Famer are gonna

381
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: be with us at one o'clock. We have not talked

382
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: to Thurman. Awhile got to catch up with him get

383
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: his thoughts on the upcoming season, about the release of Lashawan, McCoy, etc.

384
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Thurm is going to be with us at one and

385
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot of time to talk with you today about

386
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: this game the Bills and the New York Jets as

387
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: they get set to open the season up, just as

388
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: they did back in nineteen sixty, the Bills went to

389
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: New York played in the Polo Grounds against the Titans.

390
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: Lost badly that gay September eleventh, nineteen sixty, but come

391
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: a long way since then. This is the sixtieth opening

392
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: game for the Buffalo Bills, and again it's against New York.

393
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: All Right, we got a Twitter poll today and it

394
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: could be a good one. I want to hear from

395
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: you on this topic. It's about Sunday's game. Um, it's

396
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: just a question, not a pole. What's the most important

397
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: thing Josh Allen needs to do Sunday against the Jets? Simple?

398
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: What's the most important thing Josh Allen needs to do

399
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets. Let me say it again. What's

400
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: the normal? Say eight oh three fifty the number to

401
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: call if you have a thought on that, to call

402
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: him from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty

403
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Uh, send it a tweet. We can

404
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: read it on the tweet sheet. I don't know how

405
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: to answer this myself, Steven, Look, can I be honest

406
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: one hundred I'm going to be one hundred percent us

407
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: dred percent. Go brutally on it. I don't I care

408
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: less about how Josh Allen does as long as they win.

409
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: Look if Josh Allen struggles and the Bills win, I'm good.

410
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. I'm good with Josh, I'm good

411
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: with everybody on the roster. It's about winning. UM. So

412
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: we'll get responses We're getting a lot of them on

413
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: Twitter about well, he needs to find Cole Beasley, he

414
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: needs to hit sixty percent of his passes, he needs

415
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: to avoid interceptions. All of that's important, I get it.

416
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: But the most important thing he does, I think, and

417
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of basic and maybe obtuse.

418
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: It's not answering the question. It's to win. Whatever it

419
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: takes to win. If Josh Hellen asked to run for

420
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: a hundred yards to win this game on Sunday, and

421
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: that's not the prescription anybody wants, you know what, I'm

422
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: all right with that. I'm okay with that. Whatever it

423
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: takes to win this game. That's that's kind of where

424
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: my head's at. Yeah, that's and I sometimes it's overdone quarterback.

425
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: The best stat a quarterback can give you as a win.

426
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: It is a team game. And I think we got

427
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: to this question today for obvious reasons. Great teams have

428
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks and Josh Allen and I was thinking about

429
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: this on the on the drive end, Murphy, I was

430
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: thinking back over the last twenty years of the franchise,

431
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: even as far back. The only the last one I

432
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: think was Jim Kelly. I didn't feel as optimistic even

433
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: about Drew Bledsoe coming here to Buffalo as I do

434
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: about this guy. Josh Allen, not ej not JP Lossman,

435
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: not Trent Edwards. I feel better about Josh than I

436
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: do about any of those guys, given the fact that

437
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: I saw some things last year about his rise in

438
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: his ability to play and the plays that he made

439
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: it and you know the kind of guy he is,

440
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: how I've seen him attack the offseason. I feel good

441
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: about it. That it doesn't mean anything because it's just

442
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: me and I don't know that I'm That's the way

443
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: you evaluate how you your expectations of a quarterback. But

444
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I have high hopes for this guy.

445
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: I really do. And it may turn out to be

446
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: false hope, but man, oh man, I haven't felt as

447
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: good about a Bill's quarterback in a long long time,

448
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: this early in his career. I see that. I think

449
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but to as far as this

450
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: Sunday and again, and I'm gonna repeat what I said,

451
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: And look, last year, um, Josh Allen ran nine times

452
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: for one hundred yards against the Jets when they played

453
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: him up here on the Bills lost that game. If

454
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: he has to run nine times for one hundred yards

455
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: again this game, I'm all right with that. And many

456
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: people say no, no, no, no no, that's not what we

457
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: want from Josh. Doesn't matter. Wins are what we want

458
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: from Josh, no matter how what it takes to get there.

459
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: You want to wins. But I'm open to suggestions. Yes,

460
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: he can, he can improve from last year. Certainly he can.

461
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: He can't get better. He can do a lot to

462
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: help win this game, but winning is the most important thing.

463
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. Eight three five fifty

464
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: twelve three one eight eight eight five fifty two five.

465
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: I think for me, and he's even if he comes

466
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: out and plays great, he's not gonna be a finished product.

467
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: You know, He's gonna have to get better during this season.

468
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: So I'm not expecting him to come out and look

469
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: like an elite quarterback, certainly to get the win, have

470
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: some good stats, okay, but there's gonna be things about

471
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: this game where he's gonna wish he had it back

472
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: and he didn't, you know, didn't go well, and you always,

473
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, you hope he stays away from the enormous

474
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: mistake somehow, some way. But they're gonna be times when

475
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: the Jets get get yet on offense. They're just that's

476
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: the way Greg Williams operates. But there are also going

477
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: to be some plays that are gonna give this franchise

478
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: and this fan base for the Bills a lot of

479
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of optimistic hope for what's going to happen

480
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: this season. Don't We just hope all of this adds

481
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: up for a win for the Bills and a loss

482
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: for the Jets in Week one. We don't know what's

483
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: going to look like, but we've seen a lot of

484
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: this cast of characters, a lot for the New York Jets.

485
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: We've seen Adam gase a bunch. We've seen Greg Williams

486
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: a bunch, and we've got a pretty good idea of

487
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: what this defense for the Bills is gonna hand us.

488
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: Other than that, there's a lot of gray area, both

489
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: for the Jets and for the Bills. And that's, you know,

490
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: that's what the most intriguing part about this thing is

491
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: the things we don't know about. What's the most important

492
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: thing Josh Allen needs to do Sunday against the Jets.

493
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet brought to you by

494
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills

495
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: from our j tweets. In this gonna read diagnose what

496
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: the defense is doing, where his hot route is going

497
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: to be, and what to do if that's not there.

498
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: Greg is gonna bring it, and he's smart enough to

499
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: try taking that outlet away to force Josh to hold

500
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: onto the ball. Running the ball is a necessity in

501
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: this one. Running Does he mean Josh running or running

502
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: backs from now? I think he's talking about Frank Gore

503
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. Yes, they need to run. Devin Singletary,

504
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: he's right. And here's The's another one from Matthew Josh

505
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: Allen needs to control the clock by creating sustained drives.

506
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: If we keep the offense on the field, the Jets

507
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: will more likely pass it more often, which will create

508
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: opportunities for our defense. Well, yeah, you win with complimentary football,

509
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: no question about it. You can lean on this defense theoretically,

510
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: because you know you're gonna think that if and I

511
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: think Levion Bell is the key to the whole shooting match.

512
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: I think the Bill's defense matches up pretty well with

513
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: any offense in the league. I really do. They're gonna

514
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: play as good a defense as anybody around the NFL,

515
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: but it's hard to beat truly great players. Levion Bell

516
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: could be that for the Jets, and they're gonna lean

517
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: on him both. They're gonna run it, they're gonna hand

518
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: it to him, and they're gonna throw it to him.

519
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: And I think he's the key to the whole thing. Certainly,

520
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and the wide receivers are good, but you

521
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: know you got guys in the back. This back end

522
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: of this defense for the Bills should be able to

523
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: match up with those guys. That's why they went out

524
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: and got these guys. That's why they didn't make that

525
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: many changes of this defense. That's why they got a

526
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: big bunch of good corners and safeties. Their secondary should

527
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: be talented enough to hang in there with these guys.

528
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: Levion Bell is the wild card for me, and that's

529
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: that's where this matchup kind of goes off the rails

530
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: and the out of the realm of being able to

531
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: anticipate what happens. You know what Greig Williams is gonna do.

532
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: You know what this defense is. Our defense is capable of,

533
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: you kind of know what Sam Darnold's gonna give you,

534
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: kind of gotta feel of what Josh Allen can do

535
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. But there's a lot of unknowns in our offense.

536
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: And certainly Leon Bell for me, is the wild card

537
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: for the Jets. It's really hard to put a thumbnail

538
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: on this. I agree, all right to break care. We're

539
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about this game Bills and Jets coming up.

540

554
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve Tasker up here in Buffalo. Thanks for

555
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: coming up, guys. It's great to be with the two

556
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: of my favorite in the business. That's always a nice

557
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: way to start things off. But thanks for coming on. Hey,

558
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: tell me a little bit what you're starting. You've been

559
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: working on this game, I know for a while, and

560
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: you had the Raiders in the preseason. What are your

561
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, opening salvo of what you expect in this game? Well, Steve, look,

562
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see two sophomore quarterbacks. You know, obviously

563
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot has been made of what Josh Allen did

564
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: as a rookie, and certainly Sam Garnolds. I think that's

565
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: the big story. I think you look at the additions

566
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: to both teams and I want to see, obviously, what's

567
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: going to happen with Levion Bell. Didn't have a single

568
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: touch in the preseason, and I gotta tell you that's

569
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: the big concern for me. You know, ball security. Here's

570
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: the guy that's taking care of the football in his career,

571
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been touched and almost in almost six

572
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: hundred days. That'll be six hundred days since his last

573
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: touch in the NFL. So if I'm the Bills, I'll

574
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: make sure I'd get some hits on him early. But

575
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, I look at where where the Bills are better,

576
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: and I think offensively they got a chance to build

577
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: around Josh Allen. But my big concern with Josh Allen

578
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: has two things. One, he's got to take better care

579
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: of himself when he pulls the ball down a run

580
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: and you know, we know what he can do with

581
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: his seat. He's got to be able to win. The

582
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: Bills have to be able to win with his right arm.

583
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: He's got to be better the decision making and more importantly,

584
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: the accuracy and his ability to handle the blitz. His

585
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: numbers last year versus the blitz were not very good, right,

586
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: And you know with Greg Williams as a Jets defensive

587
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: coordinator that he's going to test that really early. When

588
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: you were you know, when you were going to in

589
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: your MVP season, What's what do you what do you

590
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: advise young quarterbacks how to practice beating the blitz? What's

591
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: your what are your what's your train of thought or

592
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: your your maybe rules of thumb, well Stevens, you know,

593
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: the big thing I think is understanding protections, and I

594
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: think he's a year better. I like the fact that

595
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: it didn't make significant changes to the offensive staff, so uh,

596
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think being of Brian Dable for another years,

597
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: have a better understanding the protections. I think he's got

598
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: a better understanding of the personnel around him what to

599
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: sign to get a accomplice. I think Greg Williamson go

600
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: one of two ways, and he really studied Greg Williams

601
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: last year in Cleveland. They played a lot of too

602
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: deep coverage zone and man. And then of course you

603
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: know his fastball is the pressure and I like if

604
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm Greg Williams, I got to find out

605
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen has answers early, I'm gonna pressure him early.

606
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: The problem that the Jets have is they don't have

607
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: a great pass rushers and they struggle at the cornerback position.

608
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: So my senses, he may not blitz a lot. He

609
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: may try and take care of the corners with some

610
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: two deep coverage and try and win by you know,

611
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: rushing four and five. But I'd be shocked if he

612
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: goes all out pressures against Josh Allen. You know, Rich

613
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: Steve and I talked about that very issue yesterday on

614
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: the show, and we know a little bit about Greg

615
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: Williams here, and we both kind of agreed that with

616
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: his personality, he could be likely just to say, well,

617
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't care, I'm still blitzing despite how weak my

618
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: corners might be. You know, he's kind of that guy,

619
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: isn't he. Well, I think when push comes to show,

620
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: I think in a critical situation, be naive to think

621
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: that he won't bring pressure. So if the game's on

622
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: the line, they're driving late in the fourth quarter, you

623
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: better anticipate pressure. But here's the other caveats that you

624
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: can need to be aware of it. Greg Williams, if

625
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: you bring pressure and you leave a seam for a

626
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: quarterback like Josh Allen, he may run fifty yards and

627
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: score on you. I mean, you know right, this is

628
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: a guy that can really hurt and break down a

629
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: defense with his scrambling a build. I think they've got

630
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: to be very disciplined with their eyes and very disciplined

631
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: with their rush lanes and make sure you function. You

632
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: make sure you force Josh Allen to function as a

633
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: pocket passer. I don't want the guy to run all

634
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: over the field on Sunday. I wanted to have to

635
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: sit in there in the pocket and make tough decisions

636
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: and big time throws. One of the the other things about

637
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: the Bills coming into this game, there's a lot of

638
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: question marks on the offensive side. Certainly, Josh Allen is

639
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: a sophomore quarterback. He's going to have another year in

640
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: the system. He's going to be more comfortable, probably, but

641
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: he'll have four new starters on the offensive line, three

642
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: new running backs, three new tight ends, and his top

643
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: two of his top three receivers are going to be new. Now.

644
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: He's taken every rep of the preseason as a number

645
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: one quarterback and done all the practicing and started to

646
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: work on that chemistry. Is that enough time to come

647
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: into an opening day and expect things to go as

648
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: you need them to go to win The only My

649
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: biggest concern wouldn't be so much the running backs, the

650
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: tight ends, or even the additions of wide receiver with

651
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: Brown and Beasley. My biggest concern is that group up front.

652
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: They have not played a lot together in the preseason.

653
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, Dion dalk is the only the only

654
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: returning starter, and so I just want to know how

655
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: this group was going to play together. And they didn't

656
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: play a ton of snaps together in the preseason, and

657
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: you know nobody does anymore, and so's that to me

658
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: is the biggest concern. How can quickly can this group

659
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: mesh play well together, communicate well together, and protect this

660
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: young quarterback because that's going to be the key. If

661
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: you I don't care how good a quarterback you have,

662
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: if you knock them around, the great ones become average

663
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: and the average ones become poor. Hey, rich we're with

664
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: rich Gannon by the way from the NFL on CBS.

665
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: We talked about greg Aams defense. What do you think

666
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: of Leslie Fraser Sean mcdermot's defense, and as a former quarterback,

667
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: how would you attack that defense if you're out there playing? Well?

668
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: You know what, when I look at how they've built

669
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: this defense, it's eerily similar to what they did in Carolina.

670
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: They invested wisely in their front. You look at their

671
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: free agency and the draft picks. A lot of the

672
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: money has been spent up front. They want to rush

673
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: the pass year, they want to control a lot of scrimmage.

674
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: They want to win up front. And then you look

675
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: at you know what they did the linebacker position last year,

676
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: go going out and getting Edmonds. You know, Edmonds is

677
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: essentially you know when you look at him, he's he's

678
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: he's the middle linebacker that they have in Carolina, you

679
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And that's that's who he is.

680
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: He's a guy that can run side on the sideline,

681
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: covering the middle field, he could defend it the red zone,

682
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: and he's he's the guy that gives it a speed

683
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: and athleticism in the middle of that defense. Where I

684
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: think they aren't as deep and talented, you know, is

685
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: at the corner position. So to me, they control a

686
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: lot of scremmas. They win with their pass rush. It

687
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: forced you to make quick decisions. And I really like

688
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: this defense. If there's an area where they can get better,

689
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: I think it's it's the run defense. I mean, they

690
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: were so good against the past last year. I just

691
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: want to continue to see him improve stopping to run.

692
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: What are you what are your expectations too? I got

693
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: a question for you. You played seventeen years, you were

694
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: four different teams, and when you got to your fourth team,

695
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, you had an MVP year and something

696
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you tell us, did something change

697
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: for you in your own career that allowed you to

698
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: take a big step forward? Because we're looking at Sam

699
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: Darnold and Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield and now Kyler Murray,

700
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks in the National Football League. Everybody says, well,

701
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: they are what they are. Sometimes you know, if Josh

702
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: Allen can't get better, he's not going to get more accurate,

703
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: He's not gonna you know, these all these quarterbacks, these

704
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks have been labeled. What could change for all

705
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: of these guys? And what was your experience when things

706
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: clicked for you and your fourth team. Well, Steve, you

707
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: know from working with me that I'm a slow learner,

708
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: you know. While but in all seriousness, tags around a

709
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: young quarterback is dysfunctional. And so you look at quarterbacks

710
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: and the struggles, you know, you look at quarterbacks that

711
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: have had multiple you know, Derek carrd five different coordinators

712
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: in his first six years out in Oakland. You know,

713
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: you look at the changes that they've made in the

714
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: Jets and the Dolphins and the constantly changing Yet the

715
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: group up in New England have been together for nineteen

716
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: years and so I think that's important. The continuity and

717
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: consistency around the quarterback in terms of not just the personnel,

718
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: but who's in his ear, who's coaching him every day

719
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: on the practice field. And I think that's really important

720
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: as you look at, you know, developing a you know,

721
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: a franchise type quarterback. I like Josh Allen. I think

722
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: he's got a huge upside. He's extremely athletic, he's got

723
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: plenty of arm talent. He just has to be refined.

724
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: He has to be reined in a little bit, I think.

725
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: But to me, I think the decision making functioning from

726
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: the pocket, getting the ball out quick, playing faster from

727
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: under center when he pulls the ball down and run.

728
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: I like it. Tom be a little bit smarter, Slide

729
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: a little bit more, and not take the violent initious hits.

730
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: Not try and leap, but leaping over guys. That's how

731
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: you get hurt. And his best abilities as availability. He's

732
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: got to play sixteen weeks in order for the Bills

733
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: to have a chance to win a division and to

734
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: make the postseason. If he gets knocked around, and you

735
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: know you're looking at Matt Barkley, this isn't a playoff team.

736
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: But if he can stay healthy, can continue to improve

737
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: and continue to work on that, the completion percentage of

738
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 1: fifty two or whatever it was last year ain't gonna

739
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: get it done. That's gonna up around sixty five percent.

740
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: Rich it should the Bills fans be looking at a

741
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: possible playoff contender here. What do you what's your outlook

742
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo season? I don't see why not. I mean, look,

743
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: this is uh, you know, you can turn things around

744
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: really quickly in this business. I've seen teams go from

745
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: four and twelve to twelve and four. This is a

746
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: team that's got some really good players. I think defensively

747
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: is going to be their strength. They're gonna have to

748
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: hang their hat on their defense. I think for the

749
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: first month of the season. I think they've got, you know,

750
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: some playmakers on offense. The running back position, I think

751
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: is going to be an interesting one to watch. You

752
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: look at an older running back at thirty six years

753
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: of age. You've got a rookie back Dave. You've got

754
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden that I think he's got some got

755
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: some juice. But they've got to figure out the rotation there.

756
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: And I think you know, you look at wide receiver,

757
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: can Brown stay healthy, can Zay Jones continue to develop?

758
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the changes at the tight end position.

759
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: That's significant when you look at attacking in the middle

760
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: of the field. We're talking with rich gannon CBS the

761
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: NFL on CBS Handles. He's gonna be calling the Bill's

762
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: Jets game in New York this weekend. My last thing

763
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: this preseason. You had an opportunity to cover the Oakland

764
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: Raiders in their preseason. They were on hard knocks, a

765
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: lot of attention, certainly Antonio Brown garnered a lot of headlines.

766
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: What's your take on the Raiders in the atmosphere that

767
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: John Gruden, your old friend is fostering out there in Oakland. Yeah,

768
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have seen Antonio Brown and

769
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Steve Pasker in the wide receiver meeting room and see

770
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: how that would have worked out. But it might have

771
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: been a couple of fifth fights. But you know, look

772
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: the reality of it is is that this fifth team

773
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: that I think is going to get better as the

774
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: season goes along. Um, you know, I don't know if

775
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: they're a playoff team, but look they have as many

776
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: as eight new starters on offense and eight new starters

777
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: on defense. Teams to look really different. They went out

778
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: and got Tarrell Williams wide receivers different, the charger is

779
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: a really good player, Antonio Brown. They go out and

780
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: get a franchise back and Jus Dakers got an Alabama.

781
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: They added Hunter Renfro. They've got, you know, some bigger

782
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: bodies up front. Trent Brown came over from New England,

783
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: and I think Richie Incocneedo a former Bill. So they've

784
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: got a chance to be better. In front of question

785
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: is how much better can Derek Harvey in year two

786
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: in the offense On the defensive side of the boat.

787
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: It is gonna be a young group. Two first round

788
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: picks and playing Furrow and Jonathan Abram uh, you know,

789
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: both guys that played a lot of football in the SEC.

790
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: They get well out and get Vontz perfect. So to me,

791
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: they still don't have the dominant edge rushers. I think

792
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: defense will will be a work in progress, but this

793
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: is a team that I think could be dangerous in

794
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Richard, this just came

795
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: across too. I don't know if you saw this Schefter,

796
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reporting that Antonio Brown and the GM Mike

797
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: Mayock got into it. Quote yesterday out with the Raiders

798
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: and there's talk of a possible suspension coming. That's that's

799
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: an ominous way to start the season, isn't it. Yeah.

800
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: You know, look, the guy's been at the section. There's

801
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: no question he's got rare talent at that position. Just

802
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: a giving idea that the Raiders scored thirty touchdown all

803
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: of last season. Antonio Brown has fifteen alone in Pittsburgh,

804
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: So I mean, you're looking at what he's done over

805
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: the last years. He put up ridiculous numbers. But you know,

806
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: there res alve the issues that training camp with his

807
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: seat and the helmet issue, the missing practice I think

808
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: I think it's some of that has worn on his

809
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: teammates who just want to get ready for the regular season.

810
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: And now this fine that came down from from the team,

811
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: which I think is certainly justified. This is Hey, this

812
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: is a business. This is all about not only production,

813
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: but also accountability to your teammates. So we'll see what

814
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: works out. I know John Gordon and Derek Carr won

815
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: him on the field and one him playing and in

816
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: the right mind frame. I think that's important, as Steve

817
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: can tell you, just being in the right mind frame

818
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to Sunday, Well, that's that's really what

819
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: it comes down to. Not only does he have to

820
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: be in the right mind frame, and he may he

821
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: may thrive on all this attention and all this controversy

822
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: and the antagonistic relationship he may have with people in

823
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: the organization. He may thrive on it, but other guys don't.

824
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: And John, I think it's going to be up to

825
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Gruden to kind of, you know, mitigate that kind of

826
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: effect that Antonio Brown could have on his locker room,

827
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: because while he may thrive in this environment, some of

828
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: his players may not. And I think that's what Gruden

829
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: really has to keep his finger on the pulse of correct.

830
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: You're right, Steve. But it also comes down to the

831
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: locker room. As you know, you are on some great

832
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: teams in Buffalo that had a really tight group and

833
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: a tight locker room. Guys destroyed each other's company, cared

834
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: about one another. I think that's important, is a leadership

835
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: in that locker room good enough right now. I'm mature

836
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: enough right now to kind of handle this from with him.

837
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: You know, you have better guys at go up to

838
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. They brought We're tired of the nonsense. Let's

839
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: get out of the practice field. Let's put this nonsense

840
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: behind us, and let's get let's get down to work.

841
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be important if some

842
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: of these older veteran players can reach out to Antonio

843
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: Brown kind of reel him in and keep him in line.

844
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: I wonder if that ship might have sailed already. We'll

845
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: find out. Rich Thanks for this. We'll see in MetLife

846
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Thanks for spending a few minutes with us

847
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: here today. We see this weekend. Thank you. Rich Gannon,

848
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: former NFL quarterback with the NFL on CBS and Kevin

849
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: Hartlandnam the Canal. The game on Sunday on the NFL

850
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: on CBS, the Bills and the New York Jets. This

851
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: uh Antonio Brown stuff unfolding as we speak. You think

852
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: as the season got closer, he got healthy, everything was

853
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: gonna be like, Okay, now we can play football. It's

854
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: getting worse. Yeah, Mayock, apparently you're gonna suspend him. We'll

855
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: talk about that when we return. Yeah, yeah, we can

856
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: talk about it more because there's there's a lot of

857
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: meat on that bone. There's stuff going on out there,

858
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: and we'll talk also about the Bills and what Josh Allen,

859
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: what's the most important thing he needed to do Sunday

860
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Give us a call. The phone lines

861
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: open eight o three fifty and toll free one eight

862
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Some tweets coming

863
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: up as well. One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health

864
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to the show, John

865
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: Murphy was Steve Cansker in our Senate to studio. Almost

866
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: too late to do this because we're getting into the season.

867
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: Best move the Bills made this offseason not getting Antonio

868
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: Brown right. Antonio Brown's move I guess, but best move.

869
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: You know, that would have been a disaster. Look what's

870
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 1: going on with the open raid. Here's if you haven't heard.

871
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: He posted a letter he got from the Raiders that

872
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: was very official and very professionally done by Mike Mayock,

873
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: the general manager of the Raiders, about what they find him.

874
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: They find him fifty three fifty thousand dollars up until

875
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: this letter was sent, and it was another thirteen and

876
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: change on the letter, so he fifty three grand they

877
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: find him over the course of the offseason, and Antonio

878
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: Brown put it out on social media said, hey, look

879
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: at this, and you know he's like and mayok, you know,

880
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,959
Speaker 1: didn't lie. And there are people around the league now

881
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: who are saying, you know, this is a smart move

882
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: by the Raiders because if he continues to do stuff

883
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: that is that could be deemed that is deemed conduct

884
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: detrimental to the team. Even though they guaranteed the first

885
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: two years of his contract, they can fire him with

886
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: cause and not pay it. So they want out apparently

887
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they want out or not. Then

888
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: it becomes their choice. They're still not on the hook

889
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: for the money. All they got to just pull the

890
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: trigger and say hey, we're you're out. So today, within

891
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: the hour comes word that the Raiders are planning to

892
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: suspend Antonio Brown. He got into it, according to Adam Schefter,

893
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: got into it with Mayok yesterday and because of the

894
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: issues he've just talked about, they're going to suspend him.

895
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Don't know how long. It appears that he will not

896
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: play at all and Monday night season opener against the Broncos.

897
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: How could he did he come close to me with

898
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: the Bills? I don't know, but how could he even

899
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: get that close he does? It's clearly not a fit.

900
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't know where it's a fit, but clearly not

901
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: a fit here. Anyways, it's worth talking about yet one

902
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: more Vic Tayfer recovers the Raiders on Twitter. Brown was

903
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: unhappy about being fined at an exchange with Raiders GM

904
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock yesterday. Here's the interesting part. He was held

905
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: back by a couple of teammates. Sources said. It is

906
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: now facing the suspension. Where's hard knocks when you need

907
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: him get back out there? Hard Knocks? We need a

908
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: sequel that would that would have been great video to

909
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: have anybody have that video. It's funny it's it's crazy

910
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: we're talking about the bills. The most important thing Josh

911
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: Allen needs to do Sunday against the New York Jets.

912
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: What do you think it is a couple of phone

913
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: calls on this topic, Greg and Buffalo. Hello, Greg, go

914
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: ahead and you're on the air with us. Hey, guys, Yeah,

915
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm a La Murph. I was listening to you talked

916
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: about what Josh Allen needs to do, and I'm totally

917
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: agree with you. If he has to run, him definitely

918
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: not against it. I think a lot of people forget

919
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: that last year when he got hurt, he was actually

920
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: in the pocket and he got hit in the elbow. Yeah,

921
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: that's right. The big the biggest improvement I do want

922
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: to see from him is going down the middle of

923
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: the field, making sure he could continue to hit Cole

924
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: Beasley like he did in preseason. And then the last

925
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: thing is throw the ball away. I know he knows

926
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 1: he has to do that, but um, when he's running,

927
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: I just want to see him throw the ball out

928
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: of bounds rather than making that big play. But yeah,

929
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: that's all I got. Yeah, you got a question for you, Greg,

930
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: if he had not made that throw across the middle

931
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: in preseason? Was that the Detroit game? Detroit game. Yeah,

932
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: if he had not done that, I think all of

933
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,959
Speaker 1: us would have felt a little bit better, don't you agree, Greg?

934
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: I think if he hadn't done it, I probably wouldn't

935
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: even bring it up as a topic. Exactly right. That

936
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: throw haunts us all. It's only one throw, only one play.

937
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: And who was telling talking about this the other day

938
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: in a game where the Bills. Did you mention this

939
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: somebody on the show? In a game the Detroit game

940
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: where the Bills were determined to run the ball? Oh?

941
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: I did, Yeah? And I think Brandon Bean said that also, right,

942
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: they were determined to get the run game going. Brian

943
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: Dable was, Josh got a little frustrating and say, well,

944
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: let me just try this, and obviously we know the outcome. Yeah,

945
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: Josh thought in that they knew, he knew the way

946
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: they were gonna run that game in Detroit. They were

947
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. And in Week one of the preseason,

948
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: Josh threw it eighteen times in eighteen snaps or something

949
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know if that's exactly right, but

950
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: he you know, so that's what they did in Week one.

951
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: In Week three in Detroit. They were gonna hand it

952
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: off eighteen times or whatever. So when they didn't get

953
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: into a situation where they're gonna throw it, Josh knew

954
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: he had limited opportunity to make something happen. He got

955
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: carried away and made a bone head throw because he

956
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: wanted to do something, because he knew he wasn't gonna

957
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: be able to. You know, he didn't have that many

958
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: plays he was gonna play anyway, and with the plays

959
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: he was gonna play, he was never gonna get a throw.

960
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: So the one chance he was gonna get, he's gonna

961
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: make the most of it. So he didn't, and he

962
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean said he threw it, and Dave Ball

963
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: told him, said, you're gonna throw this into a team meeting,

964
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: and brought into a into Lyon's team meeting, just you know,

965
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: going out of bounds, just lofted up into their Yeah.

966
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: So I think a little bit of that was going on.

967
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: And certainly though, if you're gonna have him do it,

968
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: that's the right time. We would not have this in

969
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: the back of her mind, right, everybody would be like, Wow,

970
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ten times better than glad about And

971
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: now it's like, oh ye, no, forget all the growth

972
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: he's he hasn't done. He hasn't gotten any better. Well

973
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: you're graduating, but lay though, I mean that's the way

974
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: you kind of get that in the back of your minds,

975
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: like is it is he really not gonna do He's

976
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: really not gonna do that in a real game. We

977
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: laugh because it's preseason. We're not laughing Monday. If that

978
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: happens again, that's Step in his car. Hello, Steve, go ahead,

979
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Yeah, how you doing, guys? Okay, Um,

980
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about like what everybody else

981
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: is Josh sh Allen saying, you know a lot of people,

982
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: if you're watching all the show, wasn't listen to all

983
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: the you know, NFL talking heads. They're you know, the

984
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: big thing as well, you know they it's really widespread. Well,

985
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: we don't want him to run as much and blah

986
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: blah blah. I don't know about you, guys, but I'm

987
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 1: fifty six. I've never seen their orderback that can really

988
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: break down the defense and take it all the way

989
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: as much as um Josh can. So it. To me,

990
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: he's a weapon. I get it. You don't want your

991
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: quarterback taking these big hits. But if they're in if

992
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: they're in zero coverage, man coverage, and he and they

993
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: turned his back to him, and you know he steps

994
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: up in that pocket, you're looking at at least twenty

995
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: yards with the way he can run. So I just

996
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a great weapon to have. And

997
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, uh we you know, if you look at

998
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: the league now, doesn't it seem like they're they're definitely

999
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: going to more athletic quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Tyree Jackson, guys

1000
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: that can move around pocket all break down the defense

1001
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: and get yards that way. Yeah, I see what you mean.

1002
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: I know what you mean, Steve. I agree with you.

1003
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: I think rich Gannon made a good point a couple

1004
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: of minutes ago about how Josh can run if he

1005
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: needs to, and him need to time to time, but

1006
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: he's got to avoid the big hits. I think that's

1007
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: an important distinction there, Steve. Yeah, I do too. And

1008
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing you got to remember too. A lot

1009
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: of Josh's runs last yearn't were none of them almost

1010
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: were called runs. I mean they were not. He was

1011
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: not supposed to be running on those plays, and he

1012
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: just pulled it down and went he made something happen,

1013
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: and that is I think that is the most effective

1014
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: times when a quarterback runs when the defense is not expecting,

1015
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: it's not called, and they just and he makes something

1016
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: out of it. You know, you said nine times last

1017
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: year for ninety yards for against this team. I mean

1018
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's ten yards a run. That's a

1019
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: pretty good route, a pretty good way to go. It's

1020
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: a good weapon. But by the same token, you want

1021
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hands. And Rich

1022
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: Gannon we just had on the show a minute ago.

1023
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: He's right, and his first thing he said, Josh Allen

1024
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: has got to do it with his arm. He can't

1025
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: do it with his legs. The game is structured, it's officiated,

1026
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: the rules are in place all for a team to

1027
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: have a quarterback that ultimately can stand in the pocket

1028
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: and make throws. That's the way the game is structured,

1029
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: with its rule book, with the way it's officiated, and

1030
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: the way it's coached. That's the way these offenses are formulated.

1031
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: So to have a guy that doesn't do that, ultimately,

1032
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: you're going to fail because you know that's the way

1033
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: you're That's the way it's structured to do. That's the

1034
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: way the game is built. Now. Certainly there are guys

1035
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,479
Speaker 1: who go off the page and make some things happen,

1036
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: but ultimately they've got to be able to win the

1037
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: big one. They got to be able to stand in

1038
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: the pocket and throw it. Russell wils can do that.

1039
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger could not do that early in his career,

1040
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: and then he got the hang of it and did

1041
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: it well enough, and now he's very good at it.

1042
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: There were guys who, you know, I the most intriguing

1043
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: team in the NFL this year to me is the

1044
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens because they purportedly are gonna run first with

1045
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's gonna have called quarterback runs. They're gonna

1046
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: do that, and he can throw it well enough that

1047
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. I think that's really intriguing because

1048
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: the league game built like that. There's a reason nobody

1049
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: else has doing that because the league's not structured for it.

1050
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: So I think that's an interesting way to go. But yeah,

1051
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: Josh can run it, but they're gonna win the super

1052
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: Bowl with him doing that. Yeah, Hey, we got Thurman

1053
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: Thomas to anybody's gonna join us next here on set

Speaker 1: to social media and posted the fine letter that Mayok

1084

1189
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm misted by more than that. Yeah, I mean I

1190
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: think it's um. You know, the numbers are started getting

1191
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: high right now, there's only what three hundred and sixty

1192
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: eight that are in a Pro Football Hall, one hundred

1193
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: eighty four from that are alive, are alive. The big

1194
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: guy who had said in one of his interviews, you

1195
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: know that's it'll it'll boost their ability to being have

1196
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: enough ambassadors to go around, right. You guys are in

1197
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: high demand, right. I think the last couple of years

1198
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: where there's been guys like you know, you go back

1199
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: to Junior, say, you go back to Kenny Stabler. You know,

1200
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: those are the guys that I wanted to be at

1201
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, you know, And I think now

1202
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are getting older. You know,

1203
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: when you get up there sixty and seventy sometimes in

1204
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: football and really in the Hall of Fame, guys started passing.

1205
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: I think we had ten pass away this year. Wow,

1206
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: ten pass away this year. So I think this is

1207
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: something that's going to be really good for the National

1208
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: Football League and a lot of the Hall of Fames

1209
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: that deserved to be in. Yeah, Durvan Timas with US

1210
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer himself a long time Bills running back. Now,

1211
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: I know you you've been moving Arounn, Canton and Atlanta

1212
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: with young Thurm, but you do follow the Bills, And

1213
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: I wonder what your thought was Saturday when the news

1214
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: came out that Lashaw McCoy had been waved by the Bills.

1215
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: You knew that, Oh yeah, I knew that. Yeah, yeah,

1216
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: I actually, you know, I got a text from him.

1217
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: They said, I'm out of here, but I'm out of here, dude,

1218
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: and uh then he said something else. But yeah, I

1219
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: mean I was a little surprised. I mean, I mean

1220
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: he's been here for four great years. Really, I mean

1221
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: he's really really he's some really good years and as

1222
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: a form of running back, Oh, I appreciate that. I

1223
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: appreciate what he brought to the game here for the

1224
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans, because you know, you get a different

1225
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: perspective of him being in Philadelphia and him being right

1226
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, and some of the same move that

1227
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,439
Speaker 1: you've seen him do in Philadelphia he did right here.

1228
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: And uh, you know what, I think it took a

1229
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: year for him to kind of really understand, Okay, this

1230
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: is where I'm gonna be at for the next couple

1231
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: of years. And then he started to embrace the community

1232
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more and stuff. So uh yeah, you know,

1233
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: not shocked, but shocked, you know, I mean, yeah, I

1234
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: think we've learned the past three years when when McDermot

1235
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: and being they've done things like this, So it's you know, so,

1236
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean I wish you could have finished his career here,

1237
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: but obviously that won't happen. Yeah, it's always been. It

1238
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: was an old axiom when you're coming up and back

1239
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: when we came into the league and throughout that ages,

1240
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: there's always made always some surprises during training camp. Somebody

1241
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: you don't expect, who comes in, some guy we don't

1242
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,919
Speaker 1: know about, draft pick, rookie, free agent comes in. Wow,

1243
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: look at this guy and he makes the team. Well

1244
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: that means somebody leaves. YEA. The thing that surprises me.

1245
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: You can speak to this. Four new starters on the

1246
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: offensive line, three new running backs, two new wide receivers

1247
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: both one and two or new guys, and that's a

1248
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: lot of eight new starters. It's Josh, Dawkins and Zay right,

1249
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: everybody else is different. Yeah, how is that going to look?

1250
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,479
Speaker 1: You know what? I don't know. I've been thinking about

1251
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: that really as we go get closer to Sunday, I mean,

1252
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: how is it going to look? I mean it's I mean,

1253
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: it's an important game to start the season off, and

1254
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: you don't want your offense going out there and getting

1255
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: negative plays and not playing well. So it's a big

1256
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: challenge for him. And you look, who's the Greg Williams

1257
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: the defensivecording to Yeah, you know he's gonna throw the

1258
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: kitchen sink at Josh Allen. So I mean, it's it's

1259
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: very important that you know, this week as a group,

1260
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: man really try to get down the timing of everything

1261
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the plays and not have those negative penalties. Man, because

1262
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: you're on the road. I guess a pretty decent Jets

1263
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: football team on the defensive side of the ball. I

1264
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,479
Speaker 1: will say this though, four news starters on the offensive line,

1265
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: all four of them are gonna be upgrades from where

1266
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: they were used. Absolutely. The two wideouts are certainly going

1267
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: to be more productive than Calvin Benjamin and who Zay

1268
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: was a two last year. Now he'll be probably the

1269
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: third guy right on John Brown and Cole Goal. So

1270
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna that's an upgrade about you know, Yeah, you're

1271
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: when your two goes to the three and you got

1272
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: guys ahead of him, the tight ends. Yeah, Charles Clay

1273
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I don't know, we were thinking

1274
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: it was a croom last year most of the time.

1275
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if these you got two young guys

1276
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: at tight, I don't know how those guys are gonna play.

1277
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: I know how Frank's gonna play, right, Gore's gonna show up.

1278
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's gonna be a handful. Yeah. And let's

1279
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: hope that feeds off to the other players, right, And

1280
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I think, and I think also Devin Singletary might be

1281
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise for em. T J. Yelton's a known commity.

1282
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: So I think all the way around most of the

1283
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: places we got new guys of the eight or upgrades,

1284
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: starting with all those four guys up front, I think

1285
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: so too. And I think that gives probably Josh had

1286
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more confident going into the game. Nor

1287
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: that you got some solid guys in front of you

1288
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: got Mitch more Center, just paid him a lot of money.

1289
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be there leading the offense or whatever.

1290
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: So at least you maybe are not handed off the

1291
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: running back didn't have to dodge the tackle right in

1292
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the backfield running. Yeah, So you know it's gonna be

1293
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: an interesting game. But I think you know, these guys,

1294
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: I've heard Josh talk about it over the past couple

1295
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: of weeks, how this team is actually growing together as

1296
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: a football team, but coming more of a family more

1297
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: than anything, because they care about each other. And I

1298
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: think you've seen that over the preseason. So uh, you

1299
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: know he's a guy who's going to be under the

1300
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: radar that. I I mean, everybody's gonna be looking at Josh Allen.

1301
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: You know where your number is gonna be your second year.

1302
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: They have to go up, I think in order for

1303
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: them to be successful this year, his numbers have to

1304
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: go up. Not only do they have to go up,

1305
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: but also the big mistakes have to be eliminated or

1306
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: as much as they can be. You know, you can't

1307
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: have that. Everybody's talking about we have this question. No,

1308
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you next. It's the most important thing

1309
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: Josh and Allen needs to do Sunday versus the Jets

1310
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: that throw he made in Detroit back over the middle too,

1311
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, intercepted. You can't think about kie right, Yeah,

1312
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: and he did it and people are sitting at home

1313
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: just just chew it on that. They can't let it

1314
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: go because you know, if he's gonna do that in

1315
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: a game, they're gonna get beat. Yeah, Well, everywhere I go,

1316
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: it's not how all the bills are gonna do. It's

1317
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: how do you think Josh Allen is going to do right?

1318
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: And that is I wouldn't say a lot of prey, sure,

1319
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: but he is a lot of pressure on Josh Shallon.

1320
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: But he cannot make those mistakes in and think that

1321
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: the defense is going to build about who I think

1322
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be probably a top five defense. I think, yeah,

1323
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't think. But he has to be aware that

1324
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I can't do this in honor for us to take

1325
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: that next step forward, I can't be making the place

1326
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: like I made. Yeah, he doesn't. And I think it's

1327
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: just the opposite mindset we think he might have where

1328
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: he's got this thing where he says, I'm gonna I'm

1329
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna put my whole hero cape on. I got to

1330
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: do this all myself. Don't have to Now if he

1331
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: can just not turn it over, maybe get the ball

1332
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: out of his hands, He's got more help this year.

1333
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: That gives me a lot of optimism about where this

1334
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: offense could go. It's gonna make it much easier for him.

1335
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Not only is he gonna be a year older in

1336
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: this offense, it's gonna seem much easier because of the

1337
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: guys around him than it did a year. Yeah, you know, hey, look,

1338
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't struggle a whole week, go out

1339
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: and has an excellent game. But what if he does struggle?

1340
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,439
Speaker 1: I mean, does that bring the question do you bring

1341
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley in? I mean, you know, and I don't

1342
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: want to see that because I don't want to have

1343
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: a controversy here in Buffalo. I want Josh Allen to

1344
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: be the man for the next you know, sometimes it's

1345
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: just out there, it's just out there and it comes

1346
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: through here and just can't bring it back. I can

1347
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: see how things fell A part of that, right, it's

1348
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: quarterback fall. He's got to take some blank Dervan Thomas

1349
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: with his all of famerite back to running backs, have

1350
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: your hand. Over the years or even since he came

1351
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: to Buffalo much dialogue with Frank Gordon. You know him

1352
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: very well. Do you talk to him with him? I

1353
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: met Frank Gore when was was Indy here a couple

1354
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: of years ago, two years, two years ago, and he

1355
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: was on that smoke he was on that football team, right, yeah,

1356
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, And I made it a point

1357
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: to go down before the game and shake it that

1358
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: the first time we've ever met. So know, and like

1359
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: I said, I've been going been busy this whole summer

1360
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: and really haven't had the opportunity. But the things that

1361
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: I hear about Frank Gore tells me that he is

1362
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: a great guy. He's a great guy and a great

1363
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: football player. You know. So I've had some people who've

1364
01:04:57,880 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I've talked to it and said, you know what, just

1365
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: a trump and this guy. You know, he's been busy.

1366
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I've been busy, and there were to come a time,

1367
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: probably this week or you know that I'll get a

1368
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:07,919
Speaker 1: chance to sit down and talk to him right now.

1369
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's a veteran guy with this young football

1370
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: team on offense kind of and and trying to mentor

1371
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, Devin Singletary. So I mean, you know, a

1372
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: lot going on for him right now. Yeah, he's got

1373
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: some stuff on his plate. Yeah. Even the one thing

1374
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: that I just love about just his career. He's only

1375
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty two yards behind Barry Sanders to

1376
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: take over third all time. You talk about a workhorse, Yeah,

1377
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: this guy has been. I mean, even with the injuries

1378
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: that he's had, he has been on the top of

1379
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: his game every single year. I think it's too the

1380
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: thing that gets it for me. Fifteen years, right, that's

1381
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: a long time. That's a long time. And he always

1382
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: carries the ball. It ain't like you know, he went

1383
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,959
Speaker 1: to Miami last year. Well but maybe giving a few cares,

1384
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: he ended up carrying the ball all the time. And

1385
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: everything has been downhill. You don't see a lot of

1386
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: outside run it from Frank Gore everything. He'll be here,

1387
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: No he don't. Yeah, Like, I'm totally with you. You

1388
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: have much exposure or watching any of the preseason to

1389
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: see singletary player even maybe so I'm in practice. What

1390
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: do you think of that guy? He's gonna get a

1391
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,919
Speaker 1: lot of work. I haven't seen it, to be honest

1392
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: with you, haven't seen Himurph. But I like that you

1393
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: can't watch these Yeah, really I hear I hear great

1394
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: things about it, you know, and you know, and and

1395
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: and I think that was one of the reasons why

1396
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy was let go. And I've heard Sean McDermot

1397
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: talk about it's like he picks things up. He wants

1398
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: to know the knowledge of the game and be around

1399
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: that part. And anytime you can have a guy coming

1400
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: in that wants to learn right that a lot of

1401
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: other teams probably want it, and we got him. You know,

1402
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: the Bills have always had a good history of having

1403
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: great running backs coming through here, and I think he

1404
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: might be one of those. One more running back question

1405
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: for you. The other guy on the field Sunday. Lebon

1406
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: bell Um sits out a year and you know it

1407
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: isn't played. It will be six hundred two days Sunday,

1408
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: since it's NFL game, What do you think that would be, like,

1409
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: will there be roster Will you feel energized? I think

1410
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: he'll feel energized. Yeah, I mean this game was on

1411
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: the road somewhere. It's at home, and he didn't play

1412
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: an entire preseason game. Yeah, I think he's gonna be ready.

1413
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Like he said, what two days ago or yesterday, I

1414
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: can carry fifty times if I need to. I think

1415
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: he stayed in great shape. I mean, obviously he's a

1416
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 1: guy who just just looked like he can carry about

1417
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: thirty or forty times a game. You know. Yeah, being

1418
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: a year off, you don't know what to expect, but

1419
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's just really really ready to go, really motivated,

1420
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: really motivated to show Pittsburgh too. Yeah, exactly to show Pittsburgh,

1421
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: show everybody who you know, because he took a lot

1422
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: of criticism for the way he handled his contract, and

1423
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: there's the perception that he left a lot of money

1424
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: on the table just to make a point about, you know,

1425
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: wanting to be paid with some guaranteed money and all

1426
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: of that, and a lot of people think it cost

1427
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: him maybe fifteen million bucks, and you know, all the

1428
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: stuff about criticizing about how smart it was. Man, he's

1429
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: got a huge chip on his shoulder. Huge chips, huge

1430
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: chip right on his shoulder. Yeah, that's the biggest motivator.

1431
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: And that's the biggest motivator right there. You don't want

1432
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to you know, Yes, I did what I had to

1433
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: do as a football player. I sat an entire year

1434
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: out and left fourteen million dollars on the table. Yeah,

1435
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: well I gotta go out and prove it now. Is

1436
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: this gonna all right? See got Levian Bell? Who didn't?

1437
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Who held that thing out? Who held out? Todd not

1438
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Todd girl, Todd Gurley signed the big deal, Melvin Golden

1439
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: and as Zeke Ellett just signed. Is that gonna be like,

1440
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna have hold out this year? Is that gonna

1441
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: be normal Now. I don't know, you know what I've

1442
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: been thinking about this. The one thing that they think

1443
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: they need to do in the next CBA. You need

1444
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: to change how you know we're a running back is drafted.

1445
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Something needs to change there. What do you mean? I mean,

1446
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Ellett he had to sign what a five year deal,

1447
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: four year deal with an option because you're the first

1448
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: round first year? Why does that have to be like that?

1449
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: What do you want to short they negoti to do?

1450
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's what I'm saying. I mean

1451
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: the lot of clubs, the clubs take on that is, listen,

1452
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: these draft picks are valuable, and if we're gonna pay

1453
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: this guy all this money before we even know about it,

1454
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: we need to have him tied up so in case

1455
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: he is good, we get him. If we now, if

1456
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: we draft a kid and we're paying him all this

1457
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: money and he's a flop like Brian, we got you

1458
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: know that it's on yours, that's on the kid's side.

1459
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: That's you win that one, right. So they got to

1460
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: have a way in the CBA to say, listen, if

1461
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: it goes good, we also should benefit from as as

1462
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: a club and so I get that trade off with man,

1463
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: you get these guys. The problem is running backs. Yeah,

1464
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: running backs. They don't like us. Well, they'd like you

1465
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: all too much because the value of us has been

1466
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: going down for years now. Well now that's because they

1467
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: love you so much. They give you the ball too much. Right, Yeah,

1468
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: I guess if you're a transcendental guy, if you're a

1469
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 1: transcendental guy like who you got this this transformational talent,

1470
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, like you and Barry and Walter and all

1471
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: those guys, all the Hall of Fame guys. And you

1472
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: get one of these guys like Saquen Barclay or Zeke

1473
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Kelli or Todd Gurley. They handled the ball. Zeke had

1474
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: it over eight hundred times in three years. I think

1475
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: he need to get paid too, And he did right right,

1476
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: So to do that though, he had to he had

1477
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: to like raise a stink. Wow, that's what you gotta do. Hey,

1478
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: everybody's doing it these days, right, what are you talking about?

1479
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Professional sports? Before he let you go, one more thing

1480
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: and it's the news of the day now, Antonio Brown

1481
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: talked that he might be suspended by the Oakland Raiders

1482
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: and some sort of mix up with GM Mike Mayock yesterday.

1483
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: I asked you this out in the hall before he

1484
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: came in. How the heck did the bills getting anywhere

1485
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: near that guy back in back in the spring. I

1486
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: don't even know if they did. Yeah, I mean, it

1487
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: could have been just rumors just floating around or whatever.

1488
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,799
Speaker 1: I mean, he's there writ in Pittsburgh we need a receiver,

1489
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Yeah. I just I don't understand that

1490
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: at all. I I don't know what did I write

1491
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: down there? Is it okay to say that? No? No,

1492
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: just for my entertainment, What did you write down something

1493
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: about Antonio Brown? Who's got some problems? He got some problems, man, Yeah,

1494
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: and maybe undiagnosed problems. But here's the thing. You got

1495
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: to feel, as Pittsburgh has got to feel totally vindicated

1496
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: with the way they handled it. And now here's what

1497
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Thurn. I heard a

1498
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: guy today give a really compelling argument for what Oakland

1499
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: is doing with ab suspending him. Getting a letter and

1500
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: may help them later on down the road, at least

1501
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion. That letter that Mike

1502
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,560
Speaker 1: Mayock sent him that was on Twitter was really professional

1503
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: and well worded and well thought out, and it was

1504
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: It was a pro professional letter about why he was fined,

1505
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,759
Speaker 1: what was coming, and what their ramifications were going forward.

1506
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: Is that posturing for them to get out of the

1507
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: thirty million bucks they own? If this goes belly up?

1508
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Because yeah, it is, it is. Are you kidding me? Yes,

1509
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: it's gotta be right. Absolutely. I think we talked about

1510
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: that coming in here. Yeah, it's true, absolutely true. Yeah,

1511
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: they they guaranteed him thirty million dollars, but that guarantee

1512
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: is subject to they can fire him for cause and

1513
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: get out of the money. Yeah, so that, you know

1514
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: that had to be a clause in the contract somewhere

1515
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: was the contract exactly this This goes down to the

1516
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: team league schefter latest tweet five minutes ago. There are

1517
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: those around the league who now believe the Raiders could

1518
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,799
Speaker 1: suspend Antonio Brown with the idea of trying to avoid

1519
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: the thirty million dollars of guaranteed money in his contract,

1520
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: which would obviously in this time in Oakland, it's pretty

1521
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: much over. How did that happen? It's pretty much over

1522
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: happen out there. I think it's pretty much over for

1523
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders and Antonio Brown. It maybe just for

1524
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: himself too. He made so much money in Pittsburgh that

1525
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: he just said, I'm gonna do whatever I want. Got

1526
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 1: a thirty minute, you know what I mean. That's what

1527
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: it comes across as and just because he can do

1528
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: all this stuff, he thinks he should. Raiders are practicing

1529
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: about two minutes. I can't out West. I don't know

1530
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Not there a practice today? Oh man, this

Speaker 1: next week. Great to have him here, though. Hey, we

1574
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: want to reset the conversation about Sunday's game Bills Jets.

1575
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: What's the most important thing Josh Allen needs to do

1576
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets. Give us a call to discuss

1577
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight

1578
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can send

1579
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: it a tweet. We can read him on the tweet sheet.

1580
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,759
Speaker 1: Let's do that now. The tweet cheet presented by Corrigan

1581
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Matthew

1582
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 1: tweets this and Josh Allen needs to control the clock

1583
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: by creating sustained drives. If we keep the offense off

1584
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: the field, the Jets will more likely pass it more often,

1585
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: which will create opportunities for our defense. Okay, control the clock.

1586
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: I would never, very rarely. I'm not gonna see. Never

1587
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: do I go into the game thinking they need to look. Yeah,

1588
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: you need to make first downs and sustain drives. But

1589
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: I don't worry about time of possession. Do you Steve No,

1590
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: not against this Jet team. Back in the old days

1591
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: with Dan Marino and the Dolphins, you might think about

1592
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: that keeping him off the field. I don't know. Maybe

1593
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: at times there was, you know, that's when you're kind

1594
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 1: of thinking that those kind of things when you're playing

1595
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, you know this year, or the Rams,

1596
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: you want to keep those guys off the field. But

1597
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think that's. Yeah, it's a way

1598
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: to look at it. But I think if you're able

1599
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 1: to do that, you're controlling a lot of things in

1600
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: that game offensively, which is it's a good thing as well.

1601
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: From Dave, also, the most important thing Josh Allen needs

1602
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: to do is show me he's learned to stop playing

1603
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: hero ball. Show he's learned to minimize risky throws, show

1604
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: me growth. That's a little more simply put. I agree

1605
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 1: with it, and I mentioned that to Thurman. I said,

1606
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, take the cape off, let the guys around

1607
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: you play, get the ball out of your hand, and

1608
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 1: let somebody else make the plays. I didn't stop playing

1609
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: hero ball. It's a good way to put it. Yeah,

1610
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, well, you know, I don't know that

1611
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: he wanted to be a hero last year. I think

1612
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: he was just finding his way more than anything, like

1613
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: what do I do here? What do we do here?

1614
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 1: You know, boom, I don't have any receivers. I'm not

1615
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: getting much protection. I gotta make a play, you know

1616
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't think he went into it.

1617
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if that was his approach all those times.

1618
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: A guy here, I said, it's just last segment. We

1619
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 1: said a gazillion times. He wasn't supposed to run. That

1620
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: meant much last year. It wasn't called runs where he's

1621
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: running for you know, six hundred yards in the season.

1622
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: It was necessity. It was self preservation. And certainly if

1623
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: he runs this year, you hope he protects himself better

1624
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: than he did a year ago. At times, the one

1625
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: caller pointed out the only time he got hurt last

1626
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: year running around was when he stayed in the pocket,

1627
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: which turned out to be pretty bad for some of

1628
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. And then you know Derek Anderson couldn't finish

1629
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: games because he got whacked in the pocket. I mean,

1630
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,799
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. When you're standing there in the pocket,

1631
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get hit when you throw the football.

1632
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: The way the game is played. When he got outside

1633
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: of the pocket, he seems safer, but still he's at

1634
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: more risk. I think, you know, call out on this

1635
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: topic from Van in Brooklyn. Go ahead, man, you're on

1636
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 1: the air of this. Hey, Martha Steeves, how you guys

1637
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: doing okay? Good? Hey, I just wanted to just point

1638
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: out just a couple of things real quick. I think

1639
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, I really think he needs to throw

1640
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: the more because like, if he limited his throws, he's

1641
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: going to have that bad throw that he did in Detroit,

1642
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: and I feel as those going to be more of it.

1643
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 1: I really think they have the weapons, they have the speed.

1644
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: So if he throws a little a bit more like

1645
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: if it's passed, then then rush, I think you'll be Okay,

1646
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: as if you like keep it, if you keep it

1647
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: more rushed than passed, he's gonna wind up doing the

1648
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: same thing that he did, and I think there's gonna

1649
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: be more of it. And the one other thing that

1650
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to sit down there and say, well, two

1651
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: more things. If you guys witness how Matt Barkley played,

1652
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: I think with Matt Barkley with the right coach, with

1653
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: the right scheme, with the right everything, I'm really starting

1654
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: to think that this is Matt Barkley's offense if he

1655
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: gets the opportunity. I'm not saying that, you know, we

1656
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 1: should throw away Josh or That's definitely not gonna happen.

1657
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: But I really like Matt Barkley as our second, you know,

1658
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: as our backup quarterback who could come in and really

1659
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: start some games, just in case Josh Allen was to

1660
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,799
Speaker 1: get hurt, and if we could just do something about

1661
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: this rush defense. Levi Bell is a good running back

1662
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be facing some good running backs this year.

1663
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: I really think you need to get this rush defense down,

1664
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: hat and I just want to listen to what you guys,

1665
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: all right, thanks Ben, Yeah, I like Matt Barkley tool,

1666
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: and I really like him as a backup, and I

1667
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: want him to be the backup. Yeah, you don't want

1668
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Josh to play bad enough for Barkley to be people

1669
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: for clamoring for him to get in the game, But yeah,

1670
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: I thought you had to be really happy with the

1671
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: way he played in the preseason, the way he's looked.

1672
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: I know he's a great guy in the locker room.

1673
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: He's really got acclimated very quickly to the Bill's culture

1674
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,679
Speaker 1: last year when they brought him in, and of course

1675
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: he won that first game he started after being here

1676
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: for twelve days. A lot of things to like about

1677
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, and I think there's no question he has

1678
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: a big future in the NFL, either as a backup

1679
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 1: quarterback and maybe under the right circumstances, as a starter.

1680
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 1: He's exactly the kind of guy you want a great

1681
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: relationship with Josh. But I and I think it was

1682
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: interesting he's I think you're trying to get inside Josh's

1683
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: head a little bit there when you say you need

1684
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: to throw more than a past so that you know

1685
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: Josh knows he's got more throws to make up for

1686
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: one if he has to throw it away or if

1687
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: he or if he has to throw one out and

1688
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: get rid of one, he won't be trying to win

1689
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 1: every single play because he'll know he's got another chance

1690
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: on the next play if he's gonna throw it. So,

1691
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: I you know, that's a little bit too psychoanalytic for me.

1692
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: But I see where you're going with that, and I

1693
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: think you can say this. I mean, I think they

1694
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: got to hand him the keys. They can't work around

1695
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 1: his inexperience, they can't work around his deficient They gotta

1696
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 1: have They gotta hand this offense to Josh Allen, expect

1697
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: him to run it and prepare him to do so.

1698
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't think they can play scared of him, you

1699
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Now what you mean? And look,

1700
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I think what they're looking for, what I believe they're

1701
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: looking for, is balance offensively. They were out of balance

1702
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,759
Speaker 1: last year runs the passes because because Josh was a rookie,

1703
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: because he had not good enough weapons around him and

1704
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:57,759
Speaker 1: he didn't have protection. Now he's got some measure of protection,

1705
01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: you would think with the new offensive line. Now he's

1706
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: got more weapons in the passing game, and now he's

1707
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: got a year under his bout in this offense. I

1708
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 1: think all of that equals balanced to the offense. I

1709
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:09,879
Speaker 1: don't need them to lead the league in past attempts.

1710
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't need them to be the greatest show on turf.

1711
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: I need them to have a balanced offense and win

1712
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: games that way. And I think that's kind of what

1713
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: they're aiming for this year. I think that's, you know,

1714
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 1: that's the ultimate goal, is to be unpredictable, run and pass,

1715
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: unpredictable in the short to passing, you know, short to

1716
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: long range. You know, this team threw the ball all

1717
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: too deep, all too often last year because that was

1718
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: the only thing they had in their pocket that they

1719
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,640
Speaker 1: felt like they could do. They had some speed on

1720
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: the outside with Robert Foster, and they'd send him deep

1721
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: and Josh would run around and then try and launch

1722
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 1: it to get him. It didn't work nearly enough. They

1723
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: averaged less than well, up fourteen points a game or thereabouts.

1724
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: That's not enough. They up that by ten points at

1725
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: least this year. Yep, to have, you know, to get

1726
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 1: to a point where they're gonna win more than they lose,

1727
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: you know, on a statistical basis. I mean, that's you

1728
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: gotta hope for that. You know we haven't done in

1729
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: a while, play the little What's for Lunch game that

1730
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: you love? We got we got time now. No, we

01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 1: gotta take a break and we'll have time to do

1732
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: it when we come back. All right, we'll do it. Yeah,

1742
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets. Let's do lunch. I'm looking at

1743
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: the lunch menu right now and it makes me chuckle.

1744
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do It's time for lunch. What's for lunch?

Speaker 1: We're gonna have some menu items and you gotta pick

1746
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: one that you're gonna eat and chew up and swallow

1747
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 1: for lunch. What's for lunch, and it's either something yummy

1748
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: or some a wing you don't like, yeah, or a

1749
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: sour lake Ontario carp right, exactly two pieces. Here's your

1750
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: first item on the munchs lunch menu. What do you

1751
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: think who lost longest with longer with the Raiders? Is

1752
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: it John grudener Antonio Brown? This question written before the

1753
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: eventual Yeah, let's put a clock on it. I mean,

1754
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: no kidding, right, somebody get Antonio Brown. It might be

1755
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: minutes away from departing the open Raider. It might be like,

1756
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: look at your watch, how long he lasts? Or John Gruden. No,

1757
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 1: it's more of a John Gruden is a legacy. He's

1758
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: not going in. Here's the story, and I'm fast forward

1759
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: in a little bit. Here. Look, let's assume, and it

1760
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: might be a mistake to assume that the Raiders are

1761
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: looking to get rid of Antonio Brown, not pay his

1762
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: sizeable guarantee, et cetera. When do you think I'd like

1763
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: to I'd like to see a timeline When did it

1764
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: change for the Raiders? You know, they they uh, they

1765
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: make the deal, they signed them. They shake hands, they

1766
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: pet each other on the back. Mike Mayock and John

1767
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: Gruden and Antonio Brown, and I just want is it

1768
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: the succession of events or was there one find they

1769
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: said this guy's nuts helmet issue, wouldn't practice because he

1770
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: wanted foot issue his feet. Now that they've they've missing meetings,

1771
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: I guess being late for meetings is in there too,

1772
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: as as per the letter that Antonio Brown let us

1773
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: in on. And can I say this too about and

1774
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: we're laughing about Hard Knocks? How how they they're not there? Now?

1775
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: I watched two episodes of Hard Knocks? What were there

1776
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,839
Speaker 1: four or five? I think typically if you watch Hard Knocks,

1777
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: you you would almost not sympathetic with Antonio Brown, but

1778
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: you would think, oh, it seems like a decent guy,

1779
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They utterly failed to capture

1780
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: the drama, the chaos that accompanied Antonio Brown to the

1781
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:56,759
Speaker 1: Raiders that was not portrayed on Hard Knocks. They missed

1782
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: the story when people look back and again, I'm fast

1783
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: for here. But when you tell the story the twenty

1784
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 1: nineteen Oakland Raiders offseason, it's all about Antonio Brown. But

1785
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: if you watch Hard Knocks, you wouldn't know that. It's about,

1786
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, some tight end from Canada trying to make

1787
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 1: the team. You know what I mean, they missed. They

1788
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:14,919
Speaker 1: missed it, and I think some of that is probably

1789
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: the pushback they got from the Raiders. But think about this,

1790
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: we the whole we just heard this. It has been

1791
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: reported now about the altercation between Mike Mayock, the general manager,

1792
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown. The guy holding Antonio Brown physically holding

1793
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: him back from Mike Mayock was the was the cooler

1794
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: head in the room. Vontes Perfect? Wow, who's got more

1795
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: personal fouls under his belt than, you know, than an

1796
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 1: NBA player. I mean, Vontes Berfect is the cooler head

1797
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:53,640
Speaker 1: in the room. And of course for Bills fan, do

1798
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: you think, well, where was rich Where was Richie was Chie?

1799
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: It's you can't make it up. You don't want you

1800
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 1: would never think that, all right, So I'm saying John

1801
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: Gruden for lunch on that. All right? See next thing over,

1802
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip you four. I'm gonna go to the

1803
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 1: next one. Number five. What's more so likely to happen

1804
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: this weekend? The Bills get two interceptions or four sacks

1805
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:21,759
Speaker 1: versus Sam Darnold. Oh, that's a tough one. First of all, everything,

1806
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: they're low, they're low p they're low percentage of plays.

1807
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna get four sacks very often,

1808
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: and two interceptions is not very often either. I don't

1809
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 1: know if either one. I'm trying to think which one

1810
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: would lead to victory. I don't know if either one would.

1811
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: I guess two inters, I'll go more likely you get

1812
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: two interceptions. I think so too. I think there's three

1813
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: or more. Sex is a lot. Yeah, it's too much.

1814
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: I think two interceptions, maybe you get a tipped one,

1815
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe maybe somebody steps in front of somebody. Not to

1816
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: say the Jets offensive line is anything special, they are not.

1817
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: I believe I have my I don't have my roster here,

1818
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 1: but I do hit my roster here. I obviously I've

1819
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,679
Speaker 1: been looking at Jets. I watched their preseason game, number

1820
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: three right um, Calvin Beecham left tackle, Uh, Collecchi assemble

1821
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,719
Speaker 1: former Raider at left guard, trading for him. Ryan Khalil

1822
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: comes out of retirement August first to play center, and uh,

1823
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 1: you know it didn't play at all in their final

1824
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 1: preseason game. Brian Winners has been there a while. Brandon Shell.

1825
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 1: It's sort of a patchwork, fill in the blank offensive

1826
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: line with a lot of several veterans m and so

1827
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: that plays into how many sacks they would get. Yeah,

1828
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: you don't have to when you got a lot too.

1829
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they'll pass enough right when

1830
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: you've got when you've got veteran guys on your offensive line,

1831
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: it's rare that you have guys running free. You know

1832
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, nobody, they don't make mental mistakes, and

1833
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 1: he may get them, beat beat them physically, like Khalil

1834
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 1: at center. I mean he he You know, he may

1835
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: be on running on fumes a little bit. You might

1836
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:45,760
Speaker 1: be able to get him if you got a good

1837
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 1: pass rusher up the middle. But most of the times,

1838
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,560
Speaker 1: when you got veteran players up front, you're not gonna

1839
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 1: give up free runners. So you know, even if you know,

1840
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I think it's more likely that you

1841
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 1: get a tipped interception or two than you do get

1842
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: forced sacks. You know whom I was looking at the

1843
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Jets coaching chef just the name the other day. You

1844
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: know what they have as an offensive assistant and he

1845
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: coaches running backs. Is a guy that you've spoke very

1846
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: highly of, Jim Bob Cooter. Really intelligent assistant. He worked

1847
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: with Gates at Chicago. I guess yeah, I liked I

1848
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 1: liked Jim Bob when he was at the offensive coordinator

1849
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Jim called well former head coach of Detroit,

1850
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: gave him glowing recommendations when we spoke to him in

1851
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 1: production meetings and men, I can't believe. The guy's really sharp.

1852
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 1: And he's working with Matt Stafford as well. So Jim

1853
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: Bob Cooter is a guy who I've got a lot

1854
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:36,680
Speaker 1: of respect for. He is there running backs coach. Yea,

1855
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: so they've got some guys over there. We'll see, we'll say, Okay,

1856
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 1: that's for lunch. Both both you and I think the

1857
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,800
Speaker 1: Bills will get two interceptions for the second in my

1858
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: item on MNU. All right, here's the next one. Here

1859
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 1: do you go? Do you think the Bears will have

1860
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: a better or a worse defense in two thou nineteen.

1861
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: Now that's you know, mac cleil, Max is back is fine,

1862
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: he's healthy and all that. H I think they're gonna

1863
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 1: have a worse defense in twenty nineteen because I think

1864
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: that kind of level of success and the way they

1865
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 1: turned out turnovers and all that is really hard to

1866
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 1: duplicate one year to the next. Certainly. I think they're

1867
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a quality defense. They're gonna be hard to

1868
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 1: score and hard to move the ball on. Mac is

1869
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:18,920
Speaker 1: still a force to be reckoned with. They got a

1870
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are gonna help them. I don't

1871
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get I don't know, we'll see. I

1872
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: think they're the story you heard coming out of Chicago

1873
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: all offseasons. Man, if we fix our kicker, we're That's

1874
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: not true to me about the Bears. I think their

1875
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 1: offense needed to be upgraded and needed to play better. Certainly,

1876
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: Trabisky started to get better in the second half of

1877
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: last season. He started to play much better and better

1878
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 1: and better. But they were talking about the visional round

1879
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, having the kicker blow their super Bowl chance.

1880
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: To listen, you got another good team you got to

1881
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: go through to get to the next level, two of them.

1882
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: So I think the fact that they just think, well,

1883
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, we we get a kicker, We're all right. Now.

1884
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta look to improve all the

1885
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 1: time everywhere. And the Bears look to me like they

1886
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 1: stood pat a little bit too much this office the

1887
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Bears and I was just looking some stuff off they

1888
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:13,479
Speaker 1: were plus twelve turnover takeaway last year, which is big

1889
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: and it'd be hard to duplicate. Um they have now

1890
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: played in safety for the Bears. How Clinton Dix, who

1891
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: was a pretty good player for Green Bay before before

1892
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: this offseason. But the biggest loss defensively is Vic Fangio, right,

1893
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:27,960
Speaker 1: he left to go coach to Denver Brock Coats. They

1894
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: replaced him with Spagnolo. What's his first name, Chuckgano, Chuck Pagano.

1895
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: They replaced him with Chuck Pagano. But I think they'll

1896
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 1: miss Vic Fangio, So I think it'll be a slightly

1897
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: worse defense. I don't know about their offense. I think

1898
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: slightly worse. I agree. I think it's hard to duplicate

1899
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:50,759
Speaker 1: those years, particularly a spectacular year like the Chiefs offense.

1900
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take a step back this

1901
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: year because of how good it was for him last year.

1902
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 1: But that's what I picked. I think it's more. I

1903
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 1: think it's the more likely the Bears will have a

1904
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: worse defense and they did last year. All right, nightam

1905
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 1: number three and what's for lunch? Who has more pressure

1906
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: on them? In two nineteen? Which quarterback is it? Marcus

1907
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 1: Mariota or Andy Dalton, who cares no. I guess Mariota.

1908
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: Mariota has a viable backup who can play right, Ryan Tannehill,

1909
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: So I don't think they will put pressure on him.

1910
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,600
Speaker 1: There's nobody. I don't think anybody's under pressure in Cincinnati.

1911
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 1: I think Marcus Mariota is on a personal level because

1912
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 1: they he's one of those guys. He's like Jamis Winston.

1913
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 1: They came out in the same year. Both those guys

1914
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:31,560
Speaker 1: are kind of on their you know, they got to

1915
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:34,760
Speaker 1: prove it now to get a contract. It's time for

1916
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 1: them to take a big step forward. I don't know

1917
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 1: if it's got I don't know if he's got it

1918
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 1: in him. I think he's probably under more personal pressure

1919
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton. Andy Dalton's already made one hundred million

1920
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,680
Speaker 1: bucks in this league, and he's already gone to the

1921
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 1: playoffs three or four times in a row. He has

1922
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: never won a playoff game, but unlike other years, they

1923
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: have no expectations for going to the playoffs this year

1924
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,639
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. So I think Andy Dalton's under no pressure

1925
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 1: is whereas Marcus Mario, I think that the next handful

1926
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 1: of years of his career are dictated by how he

1927
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 1: plays this year. Okay, all right, one more. The next

1928
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: one is interesting. Here we go. What's more likely to happen?

1929
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 1: This is our last lunch, This is dessert. You're ready.

1930
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: This is more likely to happen this season, Tom Brady.

1931
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:21,639
Speaker 1: This is after the season. I guess Tom Brady retires

1932
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: after the year's over, or the Browns end their playoff drought.

1933
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: What's most likely. Look, I don't think either will happen,

1934
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: but more likely to happen, I would say, would be

1935
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 1: Brady retiring. I think the Browns are all set up

1936
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: for a big stumble here. And I used to like

1937
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:41,640
Speaker 1: the Browns until this offseason, until the Browns became America's

1938
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 1: team and everybody's favorite, and look how good they are.

1939
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,160
Speaker 1: And will Freddy Kitchens and he'll do this, he'll do that.

1940
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 1: We'll see about the Browns. I hope Brady retires at

1941
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 1: the end of the year. I hope he gets a

1942
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: nice parade and a nice week three. Yeah, he comes here.

1943
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 1: Maybe that'll happen too, But I think Brady retire is

1944
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 1: more likely to happen. I don't think either one of

1945
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: those is going to happen. I think it's more likely

1946
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: the Browns in their playoff drought. I think they are

1947
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: going to play well, you know. And this is weird

1948
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 1: for me to say this, because I haven't really thought

1949
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: about it. I got a lot of faith in what

1950
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield brings to the table and all the stuff

1951
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,799
Speaker 1: that he is about. He is an incredibly good teammate,

1952
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback, as we saw last year when

1953
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: he came in and took over after Hugh Jackson let out.

1954
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 1: But he is not afraid to do things publicly that

1955
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 1: go out on a limb for his team. The things

1956
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:39,080
Speaker 1: he said about Hugh Jackson when he left, the things

1957
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 1: he has, I think his ability to draw those guys

1958
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 1: into that locker room is gonna do wonders for them

1959
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 1: when it goes bad, and it will go bad at

1960
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,000
Speaker 1: times for every NFL team this season. But I think

1961
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, the thing that he does, maybe as well

1962
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: as any quarterback in the league at the present moment,

1963
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,599
Speaker 1: is put his arms around his team and they rallied

1964
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:01,639
Speaker 1: to him. He is a He is a focal point

1965
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 1: of attention and confidence for his teammates, and I think

1966
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: that's a huge benefit to the Browns, and I think

1967
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: as big a question mark as Freddie Kitchens is as

1968
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 1: a new head coach, first time head coach who started

1969
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 1: out the year last year as a quarterbacks coach. I

1970
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 1: think Baker Mayfield is the answer for a lot of

1971
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: the deficiencies he may bring to it. So I'm gonna

1972
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,799
Speaker 1: say it's more likely that the Browns in their playoff

1973
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: drought than it is that Tom Brady very time. I

1974
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 1: don't think Tom I'm now calling that at all. I

1975
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: think Tom Brady's gonna play again next year. Okay, we'll see,

1976
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 1: all right. Lunch lunch, it was good. It was pretty good.

1977

2012
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 1: They are reportedly planning on suspending star wide receiver Antonio Brown.

2013
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: Reports that he got into it a verbal altercation with

2014

2015
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: to social media to publicize the fine letter that Maya

2016
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,799
Speaker 1: send him. That led to an exchange, according to ESPN,

2017
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 1: and at that exchange the Raiders after Because of that exchange,

2018

Speaker 1: the Raiders reportedly are making up their minds on whether

2019
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 1: to suspend Brown. Not sure how long he would have

2020
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: to sit, but it looks like there's little chance that

2021
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 1: he would play Monday night in the season opener for

2022
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,639

01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: discussion topic today and what's the most important thing Josh

2049
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:13,519
Speaker 1: Allen needs to do Sunday against the Jets. What do

2050
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 1: you think? Give us a call eight oh three fifty

2051
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: twent three one eight eight by fifty two five fifty

2052
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:20,719
Speaker 1: cent in a tweet. We're gonna get to the tweet

2053
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:22,719
Speaker 1: sheet in a moment, but a couple of calls. First,

2054
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 1: Matt in Buffalo. Hi, Matt, go ahead, you're on the air, Yeah,

2055
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, the topic of the day.

2056
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:33,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, Josh really needs to convert on

2057
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:37,120
Speaker 1: third downs, you know, to try to keep our defense

2058
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: fast and fresh and try to play mistake free football.

2059
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,640
Speaker 1: I think if he does those two things, well, I

2060
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 1: think we got a chance to come out one and

2061
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 1: know this Sunday. I think I think if you get it,

2062
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 1: he'll go away. Hello. Yeah, here's somebody else there with

2063
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,800
Speaker 1: somebodys got somebody. Somebody's chiming in over your shoulder. But yeah,

2064
01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 1: we hear you, Matt. That's you're right, I think Murphy.

2065
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 1: You said it early in the offseason. I did. They

2066
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: just need to have a viable NFL passing game where

2067
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 1: he drops back, lets it go and hit somebody in

2068
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 1: some stride get puts the defense under some pressure that way,

2069
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: And certainly, if he plays mistake free football, this is

2070
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 1: going to be a hard team to be, really hard

2071
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: team to be. I don't want him to be overly

2072
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 1: conservative or cautious, though. I want Josh Allen to test people.

2073
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: You know, when you say don't make mistakes, don't turn

2074
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 1: it over good, I agree with that, But I want

2075
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 1: him to force the issue downfield. I want to see,

2076
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 1: you know, smoke. I want to see John Brown flying

2077
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,600
Speaker 1: down the sideline with Josh rapper one into him. I

2078
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 1: want to see the same for Foster, you know what

2079
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't want him to go into the

2080
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 1: game thinking, oh, I can't turn it over. I can't

2081
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 1: risk this, can't risk that. No play your game, Josh.

2082
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,640
Speaker 1: He can. He's a great deep passer. He is a

2083
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 1: great deep passer. They should use that. There's a lot

2084
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 1: of that. I mean, you hear everybody talking about on

2085
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 1: this station where they can't play afraid of their quarterback

2086
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,719
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And I get all that, but here's

2087
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 1: the thing. It will be telling a little bit because

2088
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 1: you can't really go by what you see. If they're

2089
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna throw it eight times, it doesn't mean that they

2090
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: think if they throw it in eighteen times like it

2091
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 1: did in Week one of the preseason, it doesn't mean

2092
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: that they think Josh Allen's gonna be this and they're

2093
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna prove they're gonna unfurl this great elite quarterback. On

2094
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: the entirely, what it means is the Jets got weak

2095
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 1: corners and we're gonna take advantage of them. It has

2096
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: nothing to do with whether they trust Josh or not.

2097
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 1: That's where they got to attack that defense. That's you know,

2098
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 1: where this play selection stuff comes from. It's a game

2099
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: plan thing. So we don't know exactly what that's gonna

2100
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: look like for this Jet defense. With Greg Williams as

2101
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,400
Speaker 1: their coordinator in week one of his first season as

2102
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 1: their coordinator, normally know exactly what that's gonna get. The

2103
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:46,680
Speaker 1: Bills will have a pretty good idea of why what

2104
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 1: they want to do. Hopefully, the real question is do

2105
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: the Bills know what their offensive line or what this

2106
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: offense can do well. And if they can do that well,

2107
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,799
Speaker 1: and if they can unfurl that on the Jet defense,

2108
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 1: that's when they're going to be successful. Whether it has

2109
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: anything to do with Josh or not, whether he stands

2110
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:05,639
Speaker 1: back there and just hands it off to Frank Gore

2111
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: or whether he spends the day throwing checkdowns. They gotta

2112
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:13,360
Speaker 1: do what this Jet defense is not good at defending.

2113
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 1: Kim Jones sitting right over there yesterday, talk about the

2114
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 1: Jets issues at corner. They had issues during the summer.

2115
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,679
Speaker 1: Tremaine Johnson missed a significant time in the preseason there.

2116
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: They're big money corner that came over from the Rams.

2117
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 1: He's got hamstring issues. They say he'll be ready to go.

2118
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:32,479
Speaker 1: Darryl Roberts guy is a guy, is another starter at corner.

2119
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 1: Um they signed guys, picked off guys. Brian Poole. I

2120
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,680
Speaker 1: watched him play. I watched preseason game number three last

2121
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: night for the Jets, the Jets game against the Saints

2122
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: in which they were torched early on, and Brian Poole

2123
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 1: was the recipient of some of that torching from from

2124
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and that crew. Yeah, I mean they have

2125
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: issues at corner. I don't. I don't watch Josh going

2126
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: into this game thing, and I gotta be careful with

2127
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 1: his defense. It's the rush and the pressure and the

2128
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 1: disguise coverages that will give him a hard time. You

2129
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 1: would think against this group, what do you think what's

2130
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: the most important thing Josh Allen needs to do on

2131
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,559
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets. Let's take another call here, Scott

2132
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:09,360
Speaker 1: in South Carolina? Scott, how you doing? You knew the storm?

2133
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:12,560
Speaker 1: Where are you in South Carolina? Yeah? No, I'm not

2134
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 1: near the storm. I'm up by Clemson. We're good, good,

2135
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: It's just it's just hot. Yeah. We got a lot

2136
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: of Bills fans down there on the coastal areas and

2137
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:21,680
Speaker 1: we wish them well. I know it's going to be

2138
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: a rough afternoon down there, but we'll play in Jacksonville.

2139
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 1: So I was a little worried about that. We're okay there,

2140
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 1: So okay. So hey, hey Murphy, before I get to

2141
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,760
Speaker 1: what I want to talk about with McDermott, who does

2142
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 1: Stevin Singletary remind you of? Think back? How far back

2143
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 1: do I have to go? No? No, think back to

2144
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:44,760
Speaker 1: Chuck Knox, Think back to those stills nineteen eighty eighty one.

2145
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 1: Who does he remind me of? Because Cribs, Cribs, Joe Cribs.

2146
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:51,759
Speaker 1: Go back and look at the tape on Joe Cribs.

2147
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:56,639
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, this guy runs just like Joe Cribbs.

2148
01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: It's Cribs had Cribs was great? Right? Great? Runners he was. Yeah,

2149
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 1: we had him on the show at Camp, remember Steve

2150
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I know he sounded great.

2151
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, go back and look at some of that

2152
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 1: tape and look at the way Cribs runs, and look

2153
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 1: at the way Singletary runs. It's amazing. I believe he's

2154
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 1: got And the initial response I would think, and I

2155
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 1: will look at numbers is Singletary Joe crib size Cribs

2156
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: seems like he was three inches. He weighs the same

2157
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,720
Speaker 1: as Cribs, but he's three inches shorter. Okay, maybe that's

2158
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:26,640
Speaker 1: what I'm looking at. Okay, that's good. I'll look back

2159
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 1: at that. That's an interesting observation. What else do you got, Scott?

2160
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 1: Oh we lost him? Did he cut himself off? I

2161
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:33,800
Speaker 1: didn't cut him off? Okay, well I thought he had

2162
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: more than that. Let's go to the tweet sheet. It

2163
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,759
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2164
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. The most important thing Josh

2165
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 1: Allen needs to do Sunday against the Jets. Go ahead

2166
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,880
Speaker 1: Steve from Tiffany, who always seems to have a good

2167
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: take on this kind of stuff. She says, he needs

2168
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:50,640
Speaker 1: to continue to play the way he did against the

2169
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: Dolphins to close out last season, keep taking what the

2170
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 1: defense gives him, not forcing plays. I think if he

2171
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 1: utilizes Beasley and some of his check downs, everything will

2172
01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: open up for him. Take care of the Taking care

2173
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: of the ball is crucial. All that's true, and that's

2174
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 1: kind of that's kind of what you've been harping on.

2175
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:10,680
Speaker 1: What Bills fans have had to hang on to the

2176
01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 1: entire offseason is how good he played against the Dolphins

2177
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen last year. He threw for three touchdowns,

2178
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 1: He had a completion percentage of sixty five plus percent

2179
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 1: of his passes, He ran for two touchdowns, five touchdowns

2180
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:30,800
Speaker 1: in total. They hung forty two points on the Dolphins,

2181
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: and he dominated the game. That would be great, That

2182
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 1: would be great if you score I'll tell you, if

2183
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 1: you score forty two points on the Jets, this Sunday.

2184
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna win. You're gonna win. But yeah, I think

2185
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that has kind of stayed with

2186
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 1: those fans like me, optimistic guys. You know that we

2187
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 1: saw Jock grow, grow, grow, grow in the last half

2188
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: of last season, and then in Week seventeen, he took

2189
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 1: a big step forward by taking what the defense gives him.

2190
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,759
Speaker 1: He up to his completion percentage by thirteen percentage points.

2191
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 1: And after the game they asked him, Hey, what was

2192
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: the deal. You completed all these passes, and he goes,

2193
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:14,559
Speaker 1: he goes, that was the plan. Just take what they

2194
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: gave me, just get the completion. And I was like, dude,

2195
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 1: that's all it took. Let's do it every week. Yeah,

2196
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 1: let's you know, how about doing that again? Let's you know,

2197
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,759
Speaker 1: now it's time. Now it's like, you know, eight months,

2198
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:28,640
Speaker 1: we had to wait later until see if it can

2199
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: make a habit of that. Right, Yeah, I'm dying to

2200
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 1: find out. There are circumstances, right, a Dolphins team that

2201
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,559
Speaker 1: was maybe Martin only motivated right going into that game,

2202
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,559
Speaker 1: their head coach with Adam Gays to get fired. Yeah, yeah,

2203
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: I's squeezing a couple of calls here Patrick in New

2204
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 1: York City. Hello, Patrick, go ahead, Welcome to the show.

2205
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks a lot um. My fear with Josh

2206
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,680
Speaker 1: Allen isn't his arm as much as him getting down

2207
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:56,240
Speaker 1: after he gets the first first down on his legs.

2208
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 1: Running quarterbacks in this league is just a target and

2209
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 1: we need him the long haul. I don't. I don't

2210
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:03,639
Speaker 1: need him to get injured. I'm down with him throwing

2211
01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:05,639
Speaker 1: a forty yard pass as a punch type of deal.

2212
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 1: But I'll be there on Sunday and hopefully he'll be

2213
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,880
Speaker 1: getting out of bounds after he gets the first down. Patrick,

2214
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:12,600
Speaker 1: have you been to games over there MetLife when the

2215
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:14,600
Speaker 1: Bills played before? Have you been there? They've done that?

2216
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 1: It's good. I always me and me and my one

2217
01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 1: best friend is he's a Jets fan, I'm a Bills fan.

2218
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 1: So we do a home and home every year. So

2219
01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 1: we here, you go get here. So yeah, it's I mean, it's,

2220
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: in my opinion, not a very good stadium. They blew

2221
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 1: one point two billion dollars on it. I agree, yeah,

2222
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 1: every every new agree. But my question is this, are

2223
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 1: there many Bills fans? Will there be many Bills fans

2224
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:40,360
Speaker 1: in attendance? Down there Sunday. Yeah, I mean, Jets are

2225
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:43,200
Speaker 1: a fair weather. It's pretty good showing for the Bills

2226
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:45,920
Speaker 1: fans there for sure, and especially since they haven't done

2227
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 1: anything recently, like we're gonna buy tickets day of, maybe

2228
01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 1: the day before because they tank in price. No one

2229
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: goes to these games from the Jet side. Really, I'll

2230
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 1: bet they'll be there for opener, for the home opener,

2231
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,160
Speaker 1: they'll probably be a good There'll be a good showing,

2232
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:01,599
Speaker 1: particularly with a new head coach, Sam Darnold second year.

2233
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 1: I'll bet you they get a really good crowd there, Patrick,

2234
01:48:03,680 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: he might want to get those tickets a little earlier.

2235
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: I know one of my my kid one of my

2236
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 1: sons and his wife are going to the game. Yeah, yeah,

2237
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 1: he lives down there. He'll go. We do it this

2238
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 1: way for them Jets every year, and it's not a problem.

2239
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: We always get in advance for the Bills because it's

2240
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:21,320
Speaker 1: just obviously a different ticket situation. But I guess interesting, Okay,

2241
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: Well you know better than me, Patrick, Good luck, enjoy

2242
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:26,599
Speaker 1: the game, be safe. Thanks, Thanks fun down there. One

2243
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: more call here Dean and Webster, New York. Hello Dean,

2244
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:33,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi, how you doing fellow. Good good. Yeah,

2245
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: My I got a bit of a different angle. I

2246
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:42,799
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's success is pretty much Brian Babel's success.

2247
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Babel has to you know today in the NFL, coaches

2248
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:53,719
Speaker 1: are very important from what I've seen, and hopefully Dabel

2249
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:58,639
Speaker 1: puts him in positions that he could succeed. Yeah, yeah,

2250
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 1: you're right. I'll tell you this too, Dean. One of

2251
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:04,599
Speaker 1: the important aspects of what you're saying. We had Rich

2252
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 1: Gannon on who's going to be calling the game for

2253
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:08,439
Speaker 1: CBS and the booth. He said, one of the reasons

2254
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 1: the things that made a difference in his career, he

2255
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:14,320
Speaker 1: was a journeyman up until the Pact point he got

2256
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: to the Raiders and he became an MVP. And one

2257
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 1: of the differences for him, and one of the difference

2258
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 1: he sees the differences he sees with young quarterbacks his

2259
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 1: continuity from year to year, don't change out the coordinators

2260
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:29,800
Speaker 1: every year. Young guys tend to struggle with that. Josh

2261
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: Allen's been with Brian Dabole his entire NFL career, although

2262
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 1: it's been short. He's in his second year in the

2263
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 1: same offense, same terminology, same coaching in his ear every day.

2264
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 1: They've got a plan for him. They've brought him along

2265
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 1: step by step, and you have given all the given

2266
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:50,759
Speaker 1: the logic that does or doesn't apply to the human spirit.

2267
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:53,519
Speaker 1: You got to think that they're going to continue to

2268
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 1: get better and that plan is taking shape, and you

2269
01:49:56,280 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 1: would tend to see things happen in a way that

2270
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 1: gets the game. You see, kid's gonna play better. Is

2271
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 1: a completion percentage is gonna go up. They're they're gonna

2272
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 1: try and go from where they left off last year,

2273
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 1: which was sixty five and a half percent completion percentage.

2274
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 1: You know that's big, or sixty four and a half,

2275
01:50:14,160 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: sixty five and a half percentage, it was big. So, yeah,

2276
01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: you're right. Brian Dable has an enormous amount to say,

2277
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 1: and I think the good part about it is he's

2278
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:25,600
Speaker 1: still here saying it. Yeah, continuity, it means something. The

2279
01:50:25,720 --> 01:50:28,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense has to be concerned with. Levon Bell his

2280
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: first game after six hundred two days on the sidelines,

2281
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:34,719
Speaker 1: did not play at all in preseason. The former Steelers

2282
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 1: top rank running back ready to go, and Bell talked

2283
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,960
Speaker 1: to the media in New York this week about returning

2284
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 1: about this game and how many carries he wants in

2285
01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 1: this first game back. I'm ready. When I said don't

2286
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:52,040
Speaker 1: hold back, I mean literally that now I want to

2287
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 1: go here to try to sprinkle me in or things

2288
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:55,840
Speaker 1: like that, Like I'm ready to play football. I've been

2289
01:50:55,880 --> 01:51:00,680
Speaker 1: waiting a long time for this moment. A lot of

2290
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 1: people will, like I said, are a site to see

2291
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:05,920
Speaker 1: me play this quadruple that he's awful, And I said,

2292
01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited to play, and I can't wait discount. I

2293
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:10,240
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and do what I do, what

2294
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:12,599
Speaker 1: I gotta do and win a game. And I'm ready.

2295
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like my body can't take it, you know.

2296
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gout here. Obviously gonna be a lot

2297
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: of butterflies and anxiety and nerves and all types of

2298
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 1: things gonna be hitting me before I hit the field.

2299
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 1: When I got there, we're gonna first places can be

2300
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 1: gone to play football. Can you hear him? He sounds

2301
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 1: like he's eager to go. He really sounds like he's here. Yeah,

2302
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 1: he's He has the look of a guy that has

2303
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 1: something to prove in a big way and is excited

2304
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,280
Speaker 1: to do it. He's exactly he's in a mind frame.

2305
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:40,640
Speaker 1: I think that every head coach or every coach at

2306
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: any level would want their players to be in. He

2307
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,639
Speaker 1: has been waiting a long time for it. He's prepared

2308
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:50,280
Speaker 1: himself for it. He's in a great spot to do

2309
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 1: everything he's wanted to do as a football player, and

2310
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 1: he wants now it's just waiting to kick off. You

2311
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,799
Speaker 1: got to really think the Jets have got something special

2312
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 1: there with with leve On Bill and this and the

2313
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 1: condition he's in mentally and physically. Adam case, new head

2314
01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:06,519
Speaker 1: coach of the New York Jets, talked just yesterday about

2315
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 1: the importance of the run game in New York's approach

2316
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:11,640
Speaker 1: to this game against the Bills on Sunday. Here's the

2317
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:14,760
Speaker 1: head coach of the Jets. Well, it's still a big

2318
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:16,479
Speaker 1: part of the game. I mean, when you watch the

2319
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 1: end of almost every game, you know when you got

2320
01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 1: to close it all, that's that's how you got to

2321
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: go win it. And when you have when you have

2322
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 1: an offensive line and a running back that are in

2323
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 1: sync and learn a good rhythm, you know, it's it's

2324
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 1: hard not to give those guys the ball and let

2325
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, open up lanes for him. You know,

2326
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 1: I've been involved in some some groups where the run

2327
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 1: running game was the emphasis, and when those guys have

2328
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:43,560
Speaker 1: that confidence in that rhythm going, it's it's hard to

2329
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:47,080
Speaker 1: sob Yeah. Yeah, that goes for the Bills too, by

2330
01:52:47,120 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 1: the way, right, if the Bills run game is in sync,

2331
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: if Singletary and Gore get things going, and if that

2332
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:55,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, which is the question mark, no questions, are

2333
01:52:55,800 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 1: better than last year, more talented on paper, but there

2334
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 1: can be no cohesion. Are we don't even know who's

2335
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: lining up and starting? But that goes for the Bills too.

2336
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,040
Speaker 1: If they get their running game going, they're in good

2337
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,560
Speaker 1: shape on something. Here's the thing, and you kind of

2338
01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:10,200
Speaker 1: struggle for a way to put the mind frame about

2339
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and the question is is, yeah, they'll

2340
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 1: be better. Okay, it's a pretty low bar. How much Yeah,

2341
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:20,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Bill's offensive line is gonna better than last But

2342
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:24,320
Speaker 1: how much better? Are they gonna be great? Are they

2343
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: just gonna be? Okay? At least we're competitive now and

2344
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:28,600
Speaker 1: everybody else has still got to play great. Are they

2345
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and just is it gonna Are

2346
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:34,240
Speaker 1: they gonna steam roll? Are this gonna be? Like? Why

2347
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:36,640
Speaker 1: I look at this? They not only did they fix it? Now?

2348
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:38,240
Speaker 1: They got depth and they got all these we're pushing

2349
01:53:38,240 --> 01:53:40,760
Speaker 1: people around. Is it gonna be that good? Or is

2350
01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: it gonna be? Well? They were pretty good. I mean

2351
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: we rushed for you know, seventy five yards in the

2352
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:50,400
Speaker 1: game instead of twenty you know, right? How good? How

2353
01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 1: much better are they gonna be? They're gonna be better.

2354
01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 1: There's no way they're not gonna be better. But the

2355
01:53:56,280 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 1: bar was so low last year. How much better and

2356
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,720
Speaker 1: how much better? How good are they going to be

2357
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: compared to everybody else? Is good? Yeah? You know, yep,

2358
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's what I want to know. I mean,

2359
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:09,600
Speaker 1: are are they going to hand it off to us?

2360
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,639
Speaker 1: One answers? Are they gonna hand it off to Frank

2361
01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:13,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna run three yards down the field before anybody's

2362
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:16,320
Speaker 1: even getting a hand on him. Or is he gonna

2363
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:19,720
Speaker 1: be jumping sideways you know at the line of scrimmage

2364
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 1: and odd that's what you don't know. Yep, there are

2365
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 1: going to be better, but how much Yep. We're gonna

Speaker 1: studio tomorrow. Tease the thing, you go, yeah, Mike Mayock.

2399
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:07,840
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock has teased the thing. So we talked last

2400
01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:11,840
Speaker 1: segment this ongoing situation in Oakland with Antonio Brown in

2401
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 1: the Fine system and now he went had a big

2402
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: altercation uh where he allegedly he allegedly had a physical

2403
01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:21,640
Speaker 1: altercation or had to be physically restrained from getting at

2404
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 1: his general manager, Mike Mayock. Antonio Brown that is, and

2405
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock was going to or did address the media

2406
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, and now we're being told that

2407
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:36,920
Speaker 1: that media conference lasted thirty two seconds. Soon as we

2408
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:38,640
Speaker 1: get it. As soon as we get it, we're gonna

2409
01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 1: play it. Carve out thirty two seconds. I cannot do you,

2410
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 1: got it? Let's do it now? All right, here we go.

2411
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock, general manager of the Oakland Raiders, on Antonio Brown. Okay,

2412
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,800
Speaker 1: short and sweet, Antonio Brown's not in the building today,

2413
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:55,760
Speaker 1: won't be practicing. I don't have any more information for

2414
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:59,280
Speaker 1: you right now. And when I have someone it becomes appropriate.

2415
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:01,680
Speaker 1: You guys all get it, I promise you. But that's

2416
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:04,280
Speaker 1: it for today. Oh that's that was kind of a letdown.

2417
01:57:04,440 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: That didn't sound to me like he was suspended. It

2418
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 1: sounds like he just didn't show up. Yeah, I want

2419
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 1: him to say he's not playing for us Sunday, He's

2420
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 1: not playing for us again. But whatever. In fact, we

2421
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 1: have some old friends of Al Davis who are out

2422
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 1: looking for him right now. What a way to start

2423
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:22,880
Speaker 1: a season, right the Raiders? Who do they even play

2424
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 1: this weekend? I don't even care. The Raiders are their

2425
01:57:25,320 --> 01:57:27,400
Speaker 1: own thing. We know that the Raiders do their own thing.

2426
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 1: They always have under Al Davis. Now his son runs it.

2427
01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 1: They're their own deal. But this is this is beyond

2428
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 1: the pale, right, I mean, this is ridiculous. It is

2429
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:41,080
Speaker 1: to have a player drop this on you. Like week

2430
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 1: one of the regular season and the Raiders are trying

2431
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 1: to get played Denver on Monday night football, the centerpiece

2432
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:53,680
Speaker 1: of the entire television weekend. And the Raiders are on

2433
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 1: the road. No, they're at home. Antonio Brown's first chance

2434
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:01,880
Speaker 1: to embrace the me the fan base of the black

2435
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 1: hole there in Oakland in their final season in Oakland.

2436
01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: And he is a wall It's great, is delicious, isn't it?

2437
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: And and there's the Buffalo angle. Right, we had that

2438
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:15,920
Speaker 1: day long, twenty four hour period where the Bills were

2439
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:19,240
Speaker 1: interested in trading for him, and the giddy excitement of

2440
01:58:19,320 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 1: someone who just avoided a boulder dropping on their head. Right,

2441
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, could you see that football game?

2442
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 1: It could have been us. Oh we have it's a

2443
01:58:26,320 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 1: game to talk about. Bills and Jets want to know

2444
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 1: from you, what are you looking for from Josh Allen?

2445
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 1: What does Josh Allen grad to do? Most important thing

2446
01:58:32,320 --> 01:58:34,960
Speaker 1: you need to do Sunday against the Jets. Brian day Ball,

2447
01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:38,360
Speaker 1: Bills offensive coordinator met with the media earlier today, just

2448
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,880
Speaker 1: before noon, and he talked about going into this season

2449
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:42,640
Speaker 1: opening where you're not quite sure what the other guy

2450
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 1: has for you. Here's Brian Dabole first, first game is

2451
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 1: always a game of unknowns. They have a new staff,

2452
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 1: certainly guys that we've gone against before with with Adam

2453
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 1: who's done a great job, and of course Greg Williams,

2454
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 1: who is an outstanding defensive coordinator. Presents a lot of

2455
01:58:58,640 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 1: issues with the scheme, and then on top of that

2456
01:59:01,080 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 1: add their players. Um, you gotta do a lot of preparation,

2457
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,800
Speaker 1: which we are. Um we don't have to do a

2458
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:11,760
Speaker 1: good job of following our rules and executing our stuff.

2459
01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 1: Uh in a tough environment. What's the sense of chemistry

2460
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:26,480
Speaker 1: they can get around this team right now? It's a

2461
01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 1: good group of guys. You know, you really really find

2462
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 1: out the answer to that when when the regular season begins,

2463
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:35,080
Speaker 1: when you've got to face some adversity, go through some

2464
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:39,480
Speaker 1: tough times, how you handle good times. But the guys

2465
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:43,120
Speaker 1: are we have some good veterans that we've brought in

2466
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 1: and some young rookies, uh that that do it the

2467
01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:48,400
Speaker 1: right way. Um, it's a good group to be around.

2468
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:52,320
Speaker 1: They work hard. Uh. I think they have good chemistry

2469
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:55,440
Speaker 1: with one another on and off the field. How that translates, well,

2470
01:59:55,520 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: we'll see just not having guys morse um and and

2471
02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: just just all that you can face that. Yeah, you know,

2472
02:00:12,120 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see how it We'll see how it

2473
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:17,400
Speaker 1: turns out. Um, it's a long season. You know, this

2474
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:20,840
Speaker 1: is the first game again Mitch. You know, guy like

2475
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,600
Speaker 1: Mitch is smart and it takes mental reps and um,

2476
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:27,120
Speaker 1: you know he's played the game for a while. I

2477
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:28,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in him. How it how

2478
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:33,720
Speaker 1: it all shapes out. You know, we'll we'll see baseline

2479
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:38,400
Speaker 1: where you know your offense, where you can judge where

2480
02:00:38,440 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 1: your offense is beautiful. Yeah, I just think we're gonna

2481
02:00:41,920 --> 02:00:44,560
Speaker 1: go out there and and and play well, and coach

2482
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:49,120
Speaker 1: well and play smart and play with good fundamentals. Um,

2483
02:00:50,240 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 1: take it play by play, really game by game. You

2484
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:56,760
Speaker 1: know where we're at after the first game, or you

2485
02:00:56,840 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: know where we're at now. I mean that's a building

2486
02:00:58,600 --> 02:01:01,480
Speaker 1: process as you get going, particularly these first you know

2487
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:03,880
Speaker 1: few games of the season, when again there are a

2488
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:06,360
Speaker 1: lot of unknowns. You can prepare all you want and

2489
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 1: watch as much tape and practice against different looks. But

2490
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're gonna have to

2491
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:13,600
Speaker 1: go out there and execute whatever whatever we need to

2492
02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 1: execute against whatever they're gonna do. Right. Have you seen

2493
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 1: enough refreshing from Josh the year one years so far

2494
02:01:21,520 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 1: to be hopeful maybe play more onus on him in

2495
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 1: the passing game this season as closed his rookie year. Yeah. Again,

2496
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:31,840
Speaker 1: not to not to go back and rehash last year.

2497
02:01:31,880 --> 02:01:33,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different there's a lot of different

2498
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:39,320
Speaker 1: contributing factors, um for however, last year was We've had

2499
02:01:39,320 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 1: a good you know, offseason, we've had a good preseason,

2500
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,920
Speaker 1: getting the regular seasons a different animal. Um So, I

2501
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:51,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of confidence in Josh and whatever we

2502
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:55,720
Speaker 1: need him to do. Juke Williams maybe a something nice

2503
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 1: place yesterday, a tract, even coaching staff kind of fire.

2504
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,920
Speaker 1: You've seen maybe even a different from him. Now he's

2505
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:08,840
Speaker 1: back on practice squad, knowing that this is basically his game,

2506
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:13,200
Speaker 1: practices his game. I think Duke is a hungry player.

2507
02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:18,000
Speaker 1: His attitude, the way he goes about practice, it's been

2508
02:02:18,080 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 1: pretty consistent. So yesterday, you know, he's it's good to

2509
02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:24,920
Speaker 1: have a competitive practice, you know, that's how you try

2510
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:28,360
Speaker 1: to improve, whether it's one on ones with the DBS

2511
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:32,080
Speaker 1: or linebackers or line but he's he's a he's a

2512
02:02:32,120 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: good guy to have. He's competitive, and what you like

2513
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 1: about him is he's a pro. You know. I don't

2514
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:40,000
Speaker 1: think just because he got released and brought back on

2515
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,200
Speaker 1: a practice squad, I'm not sure that had you know,

2516
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: any bearing on what he really is about. Ryan Gabole,

2517
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 1: Bill's offensive coordinator. I get the question about Duke Queens

2518
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 1: apparently made a couple of plays yesterday, but Steve, can

2519
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I tell you what, We're three days away from the opener.

2520
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Duke Queams is not going to play. There's a lot

2521
02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about two queens. That's a

2522
02:02:58,800 --> 02:03:01,080
Speaker 1: preseason question and we're into the regular season. I do

2523
02:03:01,160 --> 02:03:03,120
Speaker 1: want to talk about Josh Allen. That's what we're talking

2524
02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:04,480
Speaker 1: about on the show, and you got a few minutes

2525
02:03:04,520 --> 02:03:06,320
Speaker 1: left if you want to do that. The most important

2526
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:08,520
Speaker 1: thing he needs to do. And Brian Dable was asked

2527
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 1: the question about Josh and his improvement from last year,

2528
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:14,400
Speaker 1: and Brian, as he often is, was hesitant to dive

2529
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:16,120
Speaker 1: right into it. But as I listened to his answer,

2530
02:03:16,160 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I thought, I get that, Yeah, We've seen Josh Allen

2531
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: since they started throwing passes around here in May, right,

2532
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:25,000
Speaker 1: wasn't it May first week in May? And we've seen

2533
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:27,320
Speaker 1: him in the preseason. We've seen him in the preseason games,

2534
02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:29,320
Speaker 1: a training camp at Fisher and out here in the

2535
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:33,520
Speaker 1: practice field, and none of that matters. It all starts

2536
02:03:33,560 --> 02:03:35,880
Speaker 1: to matter on Sunday. How is Josh Allen compared to

2537
02:03:35,920 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: a year ago. I'll give you an answer when we

2538
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:41,320
Speaker 1: started playing real games. That's probably what Brian Dable's thinking, right.

2539
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:43,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't know how it's going to be on Sunday.

2540
02:03:43,080 --> 02:03:46,440
Speaker 1: He looks good, practice in fine, got through minimal work

2541
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:49,840
Speaker 1: in preseason games, look good, but it doesn't matter. It

2542
02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter until Sunday. Yeah, certainly he has been able

2543
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,120
Speaker 1: to converse with Josh Allen in a much different way

2544
02:03:59,160 --> 02:04:01,080
Speaker 1: than he did a year ago. The offense is now

2545
02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:03,680
Speaker 1: under his belt. Now. It's an evolution of what we

2546
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 1: want this offense to be. What they did, what other

2547
02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:08,120
Speaker 1: teams did to us last year, and what I what

2548
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:12,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine is the Bills would anticipate I don't know,

2549
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: but I would say they would anticipate going back looking

2550
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 1: at what Josh Allen did not do well last year.

2551
02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: The teams would anticipate him starting from that point this

2552
02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:25,320
Speaker 1: year about not doing that stuff well, and that's how

2553
02:04:25,360 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 1: they would defend him, forcing him to do that which

2554
02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 1: he does not do well defensively if they can offensively,

2555
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 1: it's just the reverse of that. They want to ask

2556
02:04:33,200 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: him to do what he does great, or maybe they're

2557
02:04:37,480 --> 02:04:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna unveil something that Josh has improved upon,

2558
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:47,280
Speaker 1: something that he does better, like a sure passing game. Plus,

2559
02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's a big unknown as to how big

2560
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:53,400
Speaker 1: a difference Cole Beasley, John Brown and this offensive line

2561
02:04:53,480 --> 02:04:56,800
Speaker 1: make along with the rookie tight ends. So there's a

2562
02:04:56,800 --> 02:04:59,880
Speaker 1: lot of unknowns in this for the Buffalo Bills offensively.

2563
02:05:00,040 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 1: The big unknown for the Bills I think offensively for

2564
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 1: the Jets is Levion Bell and that running back. Because

2565
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:11,320
Speaker 1: they faced Adam Gase and Adam Gase offense twice last year,

2566
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:15,320
Speaker 1: they've seen those process and they've seen how he adjusted

2567
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: during games. They see who he had to work with

2568
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:19,800
Speaker 1: last year, and they know about the guys that are

2569
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 1: on the Jets roster this year. They can kind of

2570
02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:25,960
Speaker 1: extrapolate what he could do with that. But Levion Bell

2571
02:05:26,040 --> 02:05:28,480
Speaker 1: they have not seen nobody's seen for six hundred days.

2572
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 1: So that's the big unknown for the Bills defense. Time

2573
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:33,680
Speaker 1: down for NFL. True or false, It is brought to

2574
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,920
Speaker 1: you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist in chiefs trur

2575
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:40,120
Speaker 1: or false Number one. John Brown smoke is the X

2576
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,840
Speaker 1: factor that will make or break the Bill season. True

2577
02:05:42,880 --> 02:05:45,160
Speaker 1: or false. Let me answer it this way. The Bills

2578
02:05:45,200 --> 02:05:47,360
Speaker 1: need to throw it deep. We know about that. Last

2579
02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:50,760
Speaker 1: year Josh Allen chucked a deep twenty percent of the time,

2580
02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:53,720
Speaker 1: which was a lot more than anybody else in the NFL.

2581
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:55,600
Speaker 1: But now he's got John Brown on the other end.

2582
02:05:55,920 --> 02:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Brown with his four three speed, I think it's a

2583
02:05:58,720 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 1: major upgrade. I know it, the major upgrade at the

2584
02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:03,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver spot. I think is he an X factor?

2585
02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:05,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a big factor. I think he's a

2586
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 1: big factor this Sunday, by the way, because of what

2587
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: the Jets have lined up at cornerback. So make or

2588
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:13,400
Speaker 1: break the Bill season. That's a little bit much to say.

2589
02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:15,600
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen makes or breaks a Bill season.

2590
02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:17,440
Speaker 1: But if you ask me he is John Brown the

2591
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:20,400
Speaker 1: X factor for this week's game, I'd say true. So

2592
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:22,480
Speaker 1: you can put up to or false whatever you want. Yeah,

2593
02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:24,640
Speaker 1: I think Bills make break. This game is a big

2594
02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:26,600
Speaker 1: all season. I don't know, right Bills make or break

2595
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Bills season. I'm gonna say false. One guy who's not

2596
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:33,280
Speaker 1: named Josh Allen is not going to make or break

2597
02:06:33,360 --> 02:06:35,120
Speaker 1: this season for the Bills. They feel like they've got

2598
02:06:35,280 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 1: enough good guys scattered around the roster and enough possibilities

2599
02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 1: or potential contributors around the roster that they'll be able

2600
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:44,760
Speaker 1: to explore that as the season goes on. So I

2601
02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:48,040
Speaker 1: would say no. I'd say false because while he is

2602
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:50,520
Speaker 1: good and you hope and think that he's probably gonna

2603
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:53,240
Speaker 1: have a really good season, particularly with Josh Allen throwing

2604
02:06:53,280 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: him the football, that one guy is not going to

2605
02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:59,360
Speaker 1: make or break the Bills season. Not that you might

2606
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:02,040
Speaker 1: make or breaks. He might. Yes, they're gonna be moments

2607
02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 1: when he's gonna be critical to their success, and many

2608
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 1: of them during the course of the season, but the

2609
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:09,680
Speaker 1: entire season, I'm gonna have to say no. NFL True

2610
02:07:09,720 --> 02:07:12,640
Speaker 1: and false Part two. The Packers will win the NFC

2611
02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:15,720
Speaker 1: North True false. I'm saying false. An argument made in

2612
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: USA today that because of Aaron Rodgers matched up with

2613
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,800
Speaker 1: the new head coach Matt Lafleur, They're the team to be.

2614
02:07:21,240 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 1: They're a good team. The Packers are a good team.

2615
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:25,360
Speaker 1: The Bears won what twelve games last year. They're a

2616
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:28,520
Speaker 1: good team as well. The writer from USA Today says,

2617
02:07:28,560 --> 02:07:30,920
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in Mitchell Trubisky or the Bears

2618
02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 1: or Kirk Cousins of the Vikings. Do you do you? Really?

2619
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:37,520
Speaker 1: He says, the Packers and Rodgers come back year is coming.

2620
02:07:37,600 --> 02:07:39,440
Speaker 1: I say false. I think the Bears win that division.

2621
02:07:40,200 --> 02:07:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. I think Aaron Rodgers and a

2622
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:45,320
Speaker 1: new head coach are gonna make, gonna make some waves.

2623
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a believer unless Chicago Bears. They have been

2624
02:07:49,200 --> 02:07:52,840
Speaker 1: a franchise that has thrown out. I would look back

2625
02:07:52,880 --> 02:07:56,600
Speaker 1: at their history. It's rare that they put two winning

2626
02:07:56,640 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 1: seasons back to back, very rare. They just had a heart.

2627
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:03,280
Speaker 1: They have a hard time doing that. I think that's

2628
02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 1: going to be the case this year, and I think

2629
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:08,840
Speaker 1: it's a franchise that has shown that to be the

2630
02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: way they do business. They'll sprinkle in a nine and seven,

2631
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:14,640
Speaker 1: a ten and six record into us into a stretch

2632
02:08:14,720 --> 02:08:17,920
Speaker 1: of years and then four years. For the next four years,

2633
02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:21,360
Speaker 1: they're seven and nine or eight and eight. So I

2634
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:26,200
Speaker 1: think they're gonna they're gonna stick to that historical the

2635
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:29,680
Speaker 1: historical trend, and you know they're gonna have They're gonna

2636
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:31,280
Speaker 1: struggle this year. They're not gonna be the same team.

2637
02:08:31,320 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have the same success. And I think

2638
02:08:32,920 --> 02:08:37,520
Speaker 1: the Packers are sitting better with a new head coach

2639
02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:41,560
Speaker 1: in Matt Lafleur and Aaron Rodgers at quarterbacks. They won

2640
02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:44,560
Speaker 1: twelve games last year Chicago, and they should have won

2641
02:08:44,600 --> 02:08:48,600
Speaker 1: a playoff game at home, but they didn't if they

2642
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:51,360
Speaker 1: had a kick or they would have. Finally, NFL trur

2643
02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:55,440
Speaker 1: or falls. Kyler Murray, Oklahoma product Arizona Cardinals quarterback quoted

2644
02:08:55,480 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: the scene, you're either you either are accurate or you

2645
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:01,360
Speaker 1: are not. You cannot become accurate. He's hold ESPN. I

2646
02:09:01,440 --> 02:09:03,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is God gifted. As far

2647
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:05,920
Speaker 1: as being accurate goes, I think you either are or

2648
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:08,440
Speaker 1: you are not. I don't think you really can become

2649
02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:13,000
Speaker 1: accurate true false. I'll say true, but don't confuse accuracy

2650
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:16,520
Speaker 1: with completion percentage. I think accuracy is kind of a

2651
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:18,360
Speaker 1: different That's one measure but I don't think it's the

2652
02:09:18,440 --> 02:09:21,160
Speaker 1: ultimate measure. You can become a little bit more accurate,

2653
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: but not significantly enough. I'm going true on this, but

2654
02:09:23,520 --> 02:09:25,840
Speaker 1: they don't get hung up on this. Yeah, I'm gonna

2655
02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:29,240
Speaker 1: say false. I can be more accurate. Yeah they say this.

2656
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:32,400
Speaker 1: They said this too for decades and I mean decades.

2657
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 1: They used to say, well, you can't teach speed, Well,

2658
02:09:35,200 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 1: yeah you can. The only thing you can't teach murph

2659
02:09:39,880 --> 02:09:45,200
Speaker 1: is height. Everything else can be fixed everything and players

2660
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:48,840
Speaker 1: will figure out and trainers and sports sciences will figure

2661
02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 1: out a way to do it. Just because it hasn't

2662
02:09:51,280 --> 02:09:53,680
Speaker 1: been done yet doesn't mean it's impossible, doesn't Just because

2663
02:09:53,880 --> 02:09:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys haven't done it doesn't mean it

2664
02:09:55,880 --> 02:09:58,280
Speaker 1: hasn't been done. Matt Stafford is an example of a

2665
02:09:58,360 --> 02:10:00,640
Speaker 1: guy who struggle with accuracy and his career and now

2666
02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:05,760
Speaker 1: he's he's put together ten years like almost nobody else

2667
02:10:05,840 --> 02:10:08,560
Speaker 1: ever has. He has really played extremely well. Matt Stafford

2668
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:12,080
Speaker 1: in Detroit. He had an accuracy issue coming out, and

2669
02:10:12,160 --> 02:10:15,520
Speaker 1: now he is not inaccurate or hasn't been considered inaccurate.

2670
02:10:15,920 --> 02:10:19,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I say never say never, because that's what

2671
02:10:19,280 --> 02:10:22,160
Speaker 1: athletes do. They overcome challenges like that, So I'm gonna

2672
02:10:22,160 --> 02:10:24,440
Speaker 1: say false, Okay, NFL True or False brought to you

2673
02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 1: about Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and Chee Steph and

2674
02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I Coming Back. One Bill's Live, presented by Galada Health

2675
02:10:30,440 --> 02:10:43,760
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio Zo. We wrapped things up. What

2676
02:10:43,880 --> 02:10:45,640
Speaker 1: have we learned from today's show. We've had a good

2677
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:48,960
Speaker 1: show today, a couple of quality guests, including rich Gannon

2678
02:10:49,040 --> 02:10:50,920
Speaker 1: from the NFL on CBS. He'll have the call of

2679
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:53,280
Speaker 1: the game Sunday the Bills in the New York Jets,

2680
02:10:53,320 --> 02:10:54,640
Speaker 1: and we asked him right at the end of the

2681
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:57,680
Speaker 1: Bills playoff contenders this year. Here's what rich Gannon had

2682
02:10:57,720 --> 02:11:01,480
Speaker 1: to say. I don't see why not. I mean, look,

2683
02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:03,840
Speaker 1: this is uh you know, you can turn things around

2684
02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:06,200
Speaker 1: really quickly in this business. I've seen teams go four

2685
02:11:06,240 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 1: in twelve to twelve and four. This is a team

2686
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:12,520
Speaker 1: that's got some really good players. I think defensively is

2687
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 1: going to be their strength. They're gonna have to hang

2688
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:15,720
Speaker 1: their hat on the defense. I think for the first

2689
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:18,760
Speaker 1: month of the season. I think they've got, you know,

2690
02:11:19,880 --> 02:11:22,880
Speaker 1: some playmakers on offense. The running back position I think

2691
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: is going to be an interesting one to watch. You

2692
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:26,760
Speaker 1: look at an older running back at thirty six years

2693
02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 1: of age, you've got a rookie back day, You've got

2694
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:31,480
Speaker 1: t J. Yeldon that I think scot some scot some juice.

2695
02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:34,360
Speaker 1: But they've got to figure out the rotation there. And

2696
