77
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,200

00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: a long time when he was with Atlanta NFC, the

79
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: NFC South, So those two had a little bit of

80
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,560

Speaker 2: to know if you're coming to the stadium tomorrow for

99
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 2: the preseason opener. Speaking of pre season opener, Steve, let's

100
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: go around the NFL, brought to you by Kalida Health,

101
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, Texans Patriots.

102
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: Yesterday and the debut of one C. J. Stroud at

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: quarterback for Houston and a little rocky in the preseason debut.

104
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: As you might expect, and just watching a little bit

105
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: of that game last night, Steve, he looked like a

106
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. His eyes were all over the place. It

107
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: was just going a little too fast for him. And

108
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: that'll slow down with each week of preseason play when

109
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: he takes the field abbreviated outing thing. You only played

110
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: a couple of series two for four. He was two

111
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: for four passing, had a pick. But I think eventually

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: it'll slow down for him. You could just tell everything

113
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: was going too fast for him to process last night.

114
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's yes. You always want to see the

115
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: guy play well and look at least a little bit,

116
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, level headed. But that's it, man. Everybody on

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: when you get up there and the lights come on,

118
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: it's fast out there. Everything's fast, and even in a

119
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: preseason game in the early going, when nobody's running any

120
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: games on you, they're just going out and playing straightforward

121
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: football for the first time. And some of these guys,

122
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: and it's not just guys like C. J. Strouded quarterbacks,

123
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: it's for wide receivers, rookies, offensive linemen. They all get

124
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: out there and all of a sudden, for the first

125
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: time for some of them, they realize what they don't know.

126
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. And it's a pretty

127
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: long list.

128
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: And it's yes, and it's vast, so it's a little

129
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: overwhelming at times, and it's you know, you get these guys,

130
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it was me too. I did it.

131
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: You sit at your locker after that first game, and.

132
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: It's like, bro, this is a little different.

133
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: This is this is big. You know, it's a big game,

134
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: and it's you feel for these guys. But they're gonna

135
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: a lot of them are gonna overcome it, and they're

136
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna turn into wiley old veterans and they'll, you know,

137
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: they'll be scoffing at this game, hoping, hoping the game

138
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: gets canceled because of rain in the preseason.

139
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: You know, so, as Steve mentioned, CJ. Stroud two or

140
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: four passing thirteen yards, he was sacked once, had to

141
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: pick Davis Mills, last year's starter for the Texans, nine

142
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: of twelve for ninety nine yards and a touchdown pass,

143
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: and Bill's former backup quarterback from season case Keenum back

144
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: home in Houston nine of fourteen for seventy nine yards

145
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: and a touchdown pass. As we know, Mac Jones did

146
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: not dress for this game for the Patriots, much the

147
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: way Josh Allen will not dress tomorrow for the Bills,

148
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: and so Bailey Zappi gets the most action at quarterback

149
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: for the Pats, twelve of fourteen for seventy nine yards.

150
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: Got sacked two times in the game last night. So

151
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: that's kind of the quarterback run down at the position

152
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: and there it is.

153
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're watching Stroud, you know, sack right here. Yeah,

154
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of a jail break. But it's gonna happen.

155
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: This game is gonna be These games are glorified practices.

156
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: They're scrimmages with real rules and playing live contact football.

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: You just kind of we forget in the in the

158
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: off season how good we had it in the regular season.

159
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: In the playoff. You know, you end up the one

160
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: season watching the best teams play at a high level

161
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: and just like greased lightning, and then you think, wow,

162
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: here we go, we're gonna watch some football, and then

163
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: it's everything but that in the preseason.

164
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Incidentally, the Texans did win the game by a score

165
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: of twenty to nine. For whatever that's worth, probably not

166
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: a whole lot. To some, it's worth more than others.

167
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: The Ravens haven't lost a preseason game, I think in

168
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: the last twenty four outings. It's kind of a big

169
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 2: deal for them. Their streak is still intact, by the way,

170
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: come in to this preseason.

171
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: They haven't. They haven't lost a preseason game and forever.

172
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: They play the Eagles though tomorrow.

173
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: And they're yeah, and I'll say this too, we're the

174
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: only ones who care. People out here, they you know,

175
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: they it's fun to win. Yeah, you always want to win.

176
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: But they got bigger fish to fry just coming out healthy.

177
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: But it is. It is a thing, There's no question

178
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: about it. It's it's interesting.

179
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: The other game that was played last night was out

180
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: on the West coast, late start, ten o'clock kickoff because

181
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: it was out west. Seattle beats Minnesota twenty four to

182
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: thirteen in the other game, and you know, anything earth

183
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: shattering coming out of that, not really. You know, Greg

184
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Joseph hit a fifty four yard field goal for Minnesota.

185
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean that Drew Locke did well, I guess, seventeen

186
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: to twenty four, passing one hundred and ninety one yards,

187
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: two touchdowns and a pick, So you know, I guess

188
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: that was an encouraging performance from him. Serving as the

189
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: backup to Gino Smith, Yeah got a Nino did not

190
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: play as expected, Brock Purdy did not play for the Niners,

191
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: so a lot of backups getting action.

192
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: But it's interesting that, you know, you get these quarterbacks

193
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: like this guy I don't even know his first allers

194
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: goes four for four for forty three yards with a

195
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: fifty one to fifty one rating at quarterback for the Seahawks.

196
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Just gets in for a little bit all this. The

197
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: stats are sometimes they're impressive and other times it's like,

198
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: who is this guy? And it's interesting too, as we

199
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, welcome in our buddy here.

200
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing the Chris collins Worth slide over there,

201
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: right on to the set.

202
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: He's a veteran, long time Atlanta Falcons, former MVP in

203
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Now he's in an analyst for CBS. Congratulations,

204
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us.

205
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.

206
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: I'm excited about a different role this fall, but it's

207
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 5: gonna be fun.

208
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: And you're already putting your homework in. You're you're shadowing

209
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: Andrew today. Uh, you know who you'll be working with

210
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: all season long, and Tiki as well. Yeah, what'd you

211
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: pull out of today? Just kind of sitting in a

212
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: couple of production meetings. You used to be on the

213
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: other side of those.

214
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 5: I was gonna say it was a little strange being

215
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: on on the one side of it. I've been on

216
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 5: the other side of it for so long.

217
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 4: But it was cool.

218
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's really interesting for me to see

219
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: kind of you know, I've seen it from one perspective

220
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: for a long time. Now seeing it really how it

221
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: works on the other side of it is interesting. I've

222
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: got a ton to learn, uh, you know, picking guys

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: brains as as you're going through trying to figure out

224
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 5: what works best for you. But it's gonna be it's

225
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: gonna be blast call games and having fun.

226
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: You know.

227
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: The interesting thing I remember this moment when I stepped

228
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: into the booth the first time. My first game ever

229
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: was a Bills game. Yeah, so you know it's kind

230
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: of like, uh the and it sounds crazy, But the

231
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: thing I realized as soon as they kicked it off

232
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: is like, I really just hope for a good game.

233
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't really care. I can't care who wins. Yeah,

234
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: and that's the first time and you know, two decades

235
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: for you don't have a scoreboard.

236
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: That part of it to me is like strange into it.

237
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 5: You're like pulling for somebody. I mean, basically we've been

238
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 5: doing this since you know, six seven years old. You're

239
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 5: going out, you're playing a game, and you either we're

240
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: gonna lose and now it's just go out, watch and

241
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: yes see what's good.

242
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: Hope we get a good game.

243
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: So CJ. Stroud gets his first start last night against

244
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: New England and even though Belichick probably kept it vanilla,

245
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: have fun with that guy. How do you what do

246
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: you remember about you know, because you were a first

247
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: round draft choice. Also, what do you remember about your

248
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: first preseason outing? Was it like drinking out of a

249
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: fire hose where everything was kind of flashing in front

250
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: of you faster than you were used to seeing, or

251
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: did you kind of have a feel for the speed

252
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: right away?

253
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 5: No, you definitely don't have a feel for the speed

254
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 5: right I think anybody who says they do, you know,

255
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 5: is probably not telling the whole truth. But we played Jacksonville.

256
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: I remember we played Jacksonville. I couldn't tell you what

257
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: the stat line was, don't remember any of the completions.

258
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: I know we had one touchdown and that was it.

259
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: So I was fired up about that, but probably had

260
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 5: a bunch.

261
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 4: Of poor plays.

262
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 5: And did you play a lot or I did so

263
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: I didn't start the game. You know, it's interesting you

264
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: look back on it. I came in second. We had

265
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: Chris Redman, who was my backup quarterback that year, but

266
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 5: Mike Smith, our head coach, kind of decided to take

267
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: it slow during the preseason, and so I came in

268
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 5: I think midway through the first quarter, played probably a

269
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 5: quarter and a half, which is more than these guys

270
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 5: are playing now, much more than they're playing out. But

271
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 5: it was different then, but I thought it was really

272
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 5: good for me, like, let me go get all of

273
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: this stuff out of my system three or four times

274
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 5: before you get to the regular season, and I felt

275
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 5: much more prepared when I did get to the regular season.

276
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: And it's interesting as well, because you come back and

277
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: your career starts to take off pretty quickly, and you

278
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: had you were under the microscope as well, because none

279
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: of this was your fault. It was just kind of

280
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: happens as you kind of took over for an iconic

281
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: guy like Mike Vick, who had had a different kind

282
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: of endo his time in Atlanta, really a high profile departure,

283
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: and you had to come in as a young kid

284
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: and like like take over as a face of a

285
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: franchise that needed somebody. That was an added bit for you, right.

286
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I mean there was there was a

287
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: lot of I mean that was.

288
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: A massive situation.

289
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and how it ended there for Mike, And you know,

290
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: I was coming into it twenty three in naive and

291
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: it was probably the best. Had I known all that, Yeah,

292
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 5: I was going to say, had I known all that

293
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: I know now, it probably would have been much more different.

294
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 4: Cull.

295
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: But you know, you're young and you're naive, and you

296
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 5: just go out there and you think you're going to

297
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 5: solve these problems and keep your head down and keep playing.

298
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: But it worked out pretty well.

299
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm curious for your take on this, because even the

300
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: preseason and what it is for teams is so different,

301
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: like you were saying, you like your first preseason game

302
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: played a half y Stroud's playing three series and you know,

303
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: you see guys like Aaron Rodgers, they don't step foot

304
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: on the field in the preseason anymore. That is in

305
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: start contrast to you know how you guys, I mean,

306
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: even when you were an established starter, entrenched, like hey,

307
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: let's not have Matt Ryan get hurt in the preseason,

308
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: you still played somewhat Yeah, you know what I mean, Like,

309
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: how do you look at how coaches and teams treat

310
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: the preseason now compared to you know, when you were

311
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: lining up and going.

312
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: Well, I get the coaching side of it, right, like

313
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: you don't you don't want to lose guys. Yeah, you

314
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 5: know when you go in and you talk to any

315
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: of these coaches. At this point, it's trying to get

316
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: to Week one and having your guys, your dogs out

317
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 5: there on the field, right, you need them out there.

318
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 5: At the same time, as a player, I liked I

319
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: liked playing in the preseason. I wanted to get hit

320
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 5: a little bit. I wanted to, you know, feel the

321
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: pocket because you just can't recreate it in practice, you know,

322
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 5: trying to ready, you know at our position, yeah, and

323
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: trying to get ready to go.

324
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: And some of it is you like, some of it

325
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: is up to you. When you got your you're an MVP.

326
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean you can kind of go to the coach. Hey, listen,

327
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: give me a couple of series and the coach you

328
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: got it, you know, whatever you want. Guys like Stroud,

329
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: they don't know. And we made this point. I'd like

330
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts about it every position, particularly like c J.

331
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: Stroud last night. Whatever, all rookies for the first time

332
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: he stepped on a preseason and all of a sudden

333
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: you realize, man, there's a lot I don't know, Yeah,

334
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: something for the first.

335
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 5: Time, yes, right, And I think, but I think that's

336
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 5: a good thing, sure, right, And so I think learning.

337
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 5: You know, you go into that game and you're seeing

338
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: how you prepared, what you thought you did well, what

339
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 5: what you didn't do well when you got out there?

340
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: Did I know the checks that I know, the cancer

341
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 5: that I know the protection. It gives you an honest

342
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 5: evaluation of there's no script, right, Like you get these

343
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 5: scripts for practice every day and you can kind of

344
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 5: memorize it and do those things, and you know maybe

345
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 5: what defense you're gonna get, what you're gonna go against.

346
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 5: The game gives you that first opportunity to you don't

347
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 5: know what call is going to come in? How well

348
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 5: do I know it? Am I getting the play calls

349
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: out of my mouth? I am I operating in the

350
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 5: speed that you need to. I think it's a good

351
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 5: thing and a little bit of struggles good, you know,

352
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: I'm sure, I honestly think a little bit of a

353
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 5: thing is good for the young players.

354
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: You want to get that.

355
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: You can't get stronger without resistance correct, And that's what

356
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: it is. It's mental RESI you got to make sure

357
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: you're jumping through all the mental hoops and checking all

358
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: the boxes. And it's a long time before a quarterback

359
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: like you use, a rookie comes out and before he

360
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: goes no, no, no, you're over here. You're over it

361
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: because you start to know everybody, not just worried about yourself.

362
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: You got your big umbrella like as a quarterback, right. Oh, absolutely,

363
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: And that takes a long time.

364
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 5: It takes years, you know, it really does. It takes years.

365
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: But there's no substitute for game experience. There really isn't,

366
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 5: you know. There's nothing like being out there.

367
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, we've got another rookie, first

368
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: round pick who's going to be on the field tomorrow

369
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: against the Bills and Anthony Richardson, and he does not

370
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: have a lot of game experience thirteen starts in college

371
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: and now he's jumping up to this level. I mean,

372
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: we thought CJ. Stroud had it tough last night. That

373
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 2: guy played at Ohio State, you know for a couple

374
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: of years as a starter. I know you had a

375
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: long body of work in college, so you kind of

376
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: walked in with that. At least Richardson doesn't have that. Now,

377
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: he does have the get out of trouble legs, you know,

378
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: to kind of cover up when maybe he doesn't know

379
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: what he's looking at. But how big a learning curve

380
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: is that, Like.

381
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's going to be. It's going to

382
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 5: be a big learning curve for him.

383
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 4: But he's got the skills.

384
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: To learn, you know, like he's got all the other

385
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 5: stuff that you want. And so I like what they're

386
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: doing they're going to get. I think he's, you know,

387
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: starting tomorrow night and yeah, gonna get out there and

388
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 5: you know, get some of that stuff you know, under

389
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 5: under his belt, just to go out there and feel

390
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 5: what it's like called plays operate a little bit.

391
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: You know.

392
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 5: I think he's he's one of the interesting guys for

393
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 5: me to watch, you know, this entire year because his

394
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 5: ability to run, the ability to throw all of those things.

395
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 5: It's just it's different, you know, it's different from what

396
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 5: you see from other people. And I'm curious to see

397
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: how Shane Stikeen does with him too of you know,

398
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 5: how do they curate this offense around him to kind

399
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 5: of showcase what he can do.

400
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: I've thought too that we've we've had conversations and of

401
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: course in the draft and we're on the air and

402
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's talking about who's the guy who's Anthony

403
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Richardson is the guy I would have taken? Yeah, just

404
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: because and I know there's a lot of unknowns, but

405
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: there's there's that kind of at least that many unknowns

406
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: for all these other guys as well. You've seen him,

407
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: but you haven't seen him against these guys, and even

408
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: in the preseason. And it starts with guy. You know,

409
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: you got to have some physicality, you got some things

410
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: that you bring to the table as a quarterback. In

411
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: the end, Fell he brings more than any of these

412
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: other guys do. And I think early going, like we

413
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: saw with Josh Allen here in this NFL today, you

414
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: need a quarterback can make plays with his legs and

415
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: all that and keep a play alive even if he

416
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: doesn't know what the in the world's going on.

417
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: No doubt, it's the ultimate get out of jail. Yes,

418
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 5: you know, exact to get out of jail free card.

419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: That all right. I thought it was gonna be X

420
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: Y and Z coverage.

421
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm wrong.

422
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 5: I'm trying to find my checkdown. It's covered, well, I

423
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 5: can take off and make a play with your legs.

424
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: And this is to me, this is the modern quarterback.

425
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 5: The guys that are coming in. Josh is one of

426
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 5: those guys too, right where they're running the ball six

427
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 5: eight times a game and picking up third downs. We

428
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: used to say, like when I was when I was there,

429
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 5: if I rushed for one, you know, first down on

430
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 5: a third down in a game, we stole a third down.

431
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 5: Now it's like this is you know, like that we

432
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 5: stolen but being a little too self critical.

433
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what we're talking about.

434
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: We certainly wouldn't account for it, and so if we

435
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 5: got one, it was, you know, an added bonus. But

436
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 5: you know, you have guys now where it's your third

437
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 5: and four less. You're talking about running his own reads

438
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: where we're good with pulling it and running and not

439
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 5: putting the ball in the air. So I like the

440
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 5: things I'm with you. I think the skill set that

441
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 5: he brings in fits for the league right now.

442
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: And it also gives him a huge margin of error

443
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: correct that he can take more time to improve and

444
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: still stay on the field.

445
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 5: You can stay on the field and you can win.

446
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: You can be producative, right, And that's the thing too,

447
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 5: It's it's not only stay on the field, but you

448
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 5: can find ways to win. Maybe the passing numbers aren't

449
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 5: outrageous to start, but they're going to be able to

450
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 5: utilize him in ways that maybe you can't with some

451
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 5: other guys.

452
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: Matt, we appreciate you giving us some time here today

489
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: want to turn things up on the sideline. You would

490
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: some face paint, like you know they'll have. I'm sure

491
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 2: it's out there somewhere on that.

492
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,080

493
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,520

00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,720

495
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: I could.

496
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 7: I could get the bills. I could get down with that.

497
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 4: That's good.

498
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: I like it.

499
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, DJ Milk be out there.

500
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 7: DJ milks, spray.

501
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: Wheels, stile. A little chance of rain tomorrow, well, yeah,

502
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: a little bit on the sidelines, dude, I didn't even

503
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: look at the weather app. And we all know. Have

504
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: you guys experienced this, Like somebody's got a weather app

505
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: on their phone, somebody's got it's two completely different forecasts.

506
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: Like I mean, I'm sure they're pulling from different services, but.

507
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 8: Like they're always right, someone will.

508
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I don't. Did you guys see if

509
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: it's gonna blow out by kickoff.

510
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 7: Or I think the wind is, you would.

511
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: Probably know, since you have to be prepared for it.

512
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 6: It feels well, I don't really know what it feels

513
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 6: like yet, but it seems like that the wind will

514
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: be a bigger factor than anything.

515
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 7: So rain earlier, wind later. So that's kind of good, right,

516
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 7: get used to those conditions right.

517
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: Well, and yeah, you're gonna have them here.

518
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: So let me ask you to you. You kind of

519
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: Brownie and I are neck deep in this thing all

520
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: day every day. So coming in to do these games

521
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason, I'll start with you, Andrew, what do

522
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: you notice about this year? Because we've done these games

523
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: we did last year? You know what do you think?

524
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: What are the big difference did you see, not only

525
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: on the roster and the vibe everything around.

526
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think my take is that the roster is

527
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 8: as good or even better than previous years. I just

528
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 8: think the rest of the AFC is better as well.

529
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 8: So how the Bills are able to navigate that is

530
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 8: the big question. But I look at their roster, I

531
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 8: see a lot of experience. I see some exciting young

532
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 8: players who I think will take a nice step forward.

533
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 8: I think there's a lot to like if you're a

534
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 8: Bills fan. But I think that there's going to be

535
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 8: eight or nine other teams in the AFC that they

536
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 8: like what they have as well.

537
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 7: AFC is a total nightmare.

538
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 6: AFC East might be the nightmarest nightmare of all which

539
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 6: is it's a good word. But when I'm looking at

540
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 6: this team and the vibe, I feel a sense of

541
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 6: maturity this year that feels even more kind of like, Okay,

542
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 6: professionals doing their job. Yes they're having fun. Yes they're

543
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 6: like still you know, guys playing a game. But at

544
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 6: the same time, it's like, all right, this is the

545
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 6: way that we're going to go about our business. This

546
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 6: is how we're going to execute. We expect greatness on

547
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: every single Like, it just feels like a more mature Obviously,

548
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 6: the older Josh Allen gets, the more mature the team

549
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 6: will feel. Right, So ultimately you're kind of feeling like, Okay,

550
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 6: this is our standard. Now you know we're not We're

551
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 6: not up in comers anymore. Now we're the standard.

552
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

553
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: So if there's but I'll say this on the side

554
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: of the TV, if there's anybody out there who's really

555
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: vaguely interested in Anthony Richardson, you better watch another broadcast

556
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: because we may mention that he's in the again. This

557
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: is an all bills, all day broadcast, which kind of

558
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: plays into the people who are listening to us, what

559
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: do you think are going to be the main storylines

560
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: coming forward with tomorrow and then this preseason before we

561
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: get because we don't even know what the team's going

562
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: to really look like until we get there, so let's

563
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: stick it to these Well, I.

564
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 8: Think it's something that we just had a meeting and

565
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 8: it came up. But you know, you guys are in

566
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 8: it every day, so you were used to seeing tomorrow

567
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 8: Hamlin at practice. But for me, tomorrow, that's the biggest

568
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 8: storyline is when he runs out out of the field,

569
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 8: the reaction and the emotion that he might feel. I mean,

570
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 8: I can't wait to see that. I think that him

571
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 8: running out in the field is going to be something

572
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 8: that's going to be played all around the country tomorrow

573
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 8: on Nationville news outlets. So I think, as you said,

574
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 8: sometimes you get caught up in the things, but in

575
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 8: the big picture, to me, that's what I'm most looking

576
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 8: forward to seeing tomorrow.

577
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 6: Totally agree with that, And I want to add for

578
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 6: Bills fans more specifically, I want to see what a

579
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 6: few more kind of more real time speed snaps for

580
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 6: these rookies are. This was a really interesting draft class. Obviously,

581
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 6: Dalton Kincaid, nobody's giving him any hype anywhere. Don't tell anyone, right,

582
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 6: We're supposed to keep him a secret.

583
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: Well, he's get plenty.

584
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 6: Right, maybe a little, but I want to see how

585
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 6: he looks on the field, and I want to see

586
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 6: Osirus Torrance guard play is something that last year when

587
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 6: we were sitting right here, we're like, how are the

588
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 6: guards going to play? What's going to happen there? And

589
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 6: now you have a guy who didn't allow a single

590
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 6: sack last season in college. Obviously a little different at

591
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 6: the NFL level. So I want to see how the

592
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 6: rookies do, how they handle their business.

593
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is one of those games as well.

594
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: And you're right, we see Tomorre practicing every day and

595
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: it was kind of off our radar. We're gonna go

596
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: into this. We're gonna talk a little bit about him

597
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: at the top of the broadcast tomorrow and get and

598
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: have some stuff about him. And you're right. I think

599
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: the country still is wondering about how Damor's doing. And

600
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: it's been fun to watch him just go out and play.

601
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: We got a taste of it last week. Yeah, the

602
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: Blue and so every year they come back to high

603
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: Mark Stadium, do the Blue and Red practice with a

604
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: so called scrimmage, and you know, he kind of comes

605
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: out on the field and there's thirty five thousand people

606
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: watching a practice, and there was a noticeable difference in

607
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: you know, the amplitude of the fans they got. They

608
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: saw him and it was like, oh my god, there

609
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: he is. And for him, you could see him almost

610
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: pause for a second because he hadn't been on that

611
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: field in a competitive capacity since you know, the incident

612
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: had happened. So he calls them hurdles mile markers. Tomorrow

613
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: is a big one though, because you've been Yeah you've

614
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: been hitting a little bit in practice, but it's thud,

615
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: like you're not taking people to the ground and now

616
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, somebody comes over the middle. He's gonna have

617
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: to do that now for the first time.

618
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, and let's face it, it's a very deep secondary.

619
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 8: He's got to perform this summer.

620
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Right, there are no guarantees that he'll actually play well

621
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: enough to make the team. They they got deeper at

622
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: the safety position last year. He was not the backup

623
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: to mikeah Hyde. He was the third guy into the

624
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: mix after Michael, So he was down the right because

625
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: he has some special teams abilities and he contributed in

626
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: a lot of other ways. But if you're trying to

627
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: get on the field on this team, now you got

628
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: two All pros and a starter for a Super Bowl

629
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: champion ahead of you. That's that's a tough road to

630
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: hoe for a guy like Damar, particularly given all the

631
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: the internal hurdles and the and the you know, the

632
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: challenge of coming back and playing the way he likes

633
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: to play. It's really gonna be an interesting story to

634
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: watch as it progressive through the preseason.

635
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: Question for you, Cynthia, since you kind of get into

636
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: these numbers. Run after catch has been a stat where

637
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: the Bills historically in the McDermot era have ranked very low.

638
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: We feel like there are different reasons for that. Steve's

639
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: of the theory that Josh is kind of a put

640
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: it on him thrower. He doesn't really lead guys into

641
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: space all that much. He'll squeeze it through a tight

642
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: window to somebody, but leading guys into space unless it's

643
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: one of those over the shoulder bombs usually doesn't happen.

644
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: So they ranked pretty low in that area. But Deontay

645
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: Hardy is here to try to fix that, and there

646
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: are a couple other guys here Trent Sherfield. I think

647
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: we all remember his seventy five yard touchdown against the

648
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: Niners last year. Five yard catch, seventy five yards to

649
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: the house, running past the best defense in football. What

650
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: are you kind of hoping for in that particular metric

651
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: category for them?

652
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 6: I'm hoping to see earlier down success so that you

653
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 6: can be a little bit more tricky on third down. Right,

654
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 6: this is already a really good third down team, but

655
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 6: part of what was really good was just like you.

656
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 7: Talked about that put it on in type of situation.

657
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 6: Well, if you have more favorable third downs, third and short,

658
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 6: now you can do all. You can open up the

659
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 6: entire playbook. And we just heard coach talk about James

660
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 6: Cook and how he's a great there's a great compliment

661
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 6: to what's going on in the run game, right, meaning

662
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 6: Josh Allen, which was the run game sort of forever.

663
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 6: And then you talk about you know you bring in

664
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 6: Dalton Kincaid and you know what that guy did in college, Yeah,

665
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 6: a lot of yards after the catch. So you're looking

666
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 6: at an opportunity here to sort of solve a slot

667
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 6: situation that maybe we haven't seen it in a while.

668
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 6: Cold Beasley was probably the last time that slot was

669
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 6: really super effective. So now you're getting a whole bunch

670
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 6: of people here to compete and giving you know, Ken

671
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 6: Dorsey another year of play calling experience. So I think

672
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 6: you'll see it solved. But I don't necessarily think it

673
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 6: needs to be like take it to the house top priority.

674
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: But it'd be nice if they had.

675
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'd be nice if more of their explosive plays

676
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 6: came from a balance of yards after the catch plays

677
00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 6: and deep threats.

678
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: So they noticed you notice of what is different about

679
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: teams that do have a lot of YAK and teams

680
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: that don't. Is there something visible in the numbers in

681
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: the in the analytics, or is it just better players

682
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: or different players.

683
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 6: First and second down success to create plus ten yard games,

684
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 6: so more explosive plays earlier down, so you're not actually

685
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 6: getting into third down as often. Sometimes we can look

686
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 6: at a third down number, sometimes people are like, okay,

687
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 6: look at red area and then.

688
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: Look at that translates to yards affrication.

689
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 7: Well, yards after the catch is one of the ways

690
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 7: that that helps.

691
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 6: Because right now in the league, not necessarily this team,

692
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 6: but many teams, play action is like right where it's

693
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 6: at right, Like a lot of these younger quarterbacks need

694
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 6: play action in order to be successful.

695
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 7: So you're seeing a lot of yards.

696
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,239
Speaker 6: I think of the San Francisco forty nine ers, they

697
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 6: have all these different weapons. Well, the other thing that's

698
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 6: kind of more effective and probably more relevant to this

699
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 6: team is fewer drops. It's more opportunities to have a

700
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 6: higher probability catch. So you're not asking people to do

701
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 6: something search throws right exactly, a little bit nothing so crazy.

702
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 6: Now you can just run after the catch.

703
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: So Andrew, you know, you saw this team last year.

704
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: You did some games, and I think most of us

705
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: witnessed this. As we got to the second half of

706
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: the season, some injuries kind of cropped up, compromise some things,

707
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: and even though the offense was still productive, it looked

708
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: like a heavy lift at times. It was like Alan

709
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: and Diggs and whoever else might be able to help

710
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: in a given week gave Davis had kind of an

711
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: uneven season. So now with Kincaid, there is this general

712
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: consensus that the easy button throw that Josh had for

713
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: so many years with Cole Beasley inside is going to

714
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: be there now in the form of Kincaid. How much

715
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: do we kind of think that could make the offense

716
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: back to that free flowing team that we kind of

717
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: saw in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one.

718
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 8: Sure, I mean on paper, I think it makes a

719
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 8: lot of sense, and I think that that should be

720
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 8: an option for Buffalo this year. I think the big thing, though,

721
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 8: is another year for Dorsey. I mean, I think it's

722
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 8: your first time. It's you know, you're feeling things through.

723
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 8: I remember in the preseason last year that all the

724
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 8: questions were about how how's Ken Dorsey.

725
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: Going to call the game? How's it going to look?

726
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 8: Well, you don't have those questions anymore. You know what

727
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 8: he's going to bring to the table. And I think

728
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 8: that added year will help make this entire Bills offense

729
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 8: even that much better.

730
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: One of the things I got to ask too, is

731
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: one of the big changes for the Bills this season

732
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: is that now they got a head coach that's going

733
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: to call defensive signals. And we talked to him about

734
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: it today and it's it's not a small thing. Even

735
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: to him, he knows that it was. It's a big move.

736
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: How do you think that will go? What do you

737
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: think that's going to mean for the defense, and how

738
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: it progresses. Yeah.

739
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 8: I mean you can make a case that the preseason

740
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 8: is maybe most important for Sean McDermott than any other

741
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 8: player on this roster, just to go through the mechanics

742
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 8: of it with the rest of the staff. I definitely

743
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 8: think it's a it's a thing quote unquote that we'll

744
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 8: be following in the preseason, and I think knowing Sean,

745
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 8: he'll be able to handle it. But there's gonna be

746
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 8: some things that come up in these games over the

747
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 8: summer that you might not think of then, and that'll

748
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 8: help them out as they get ready for the regular seasons.

749
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you guys measure this at all, because

750
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if this ran through coach McDermott's brain when

751
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: he made the decision, like I'm gonna call the defense now.

752
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: And I know he said there were only a handful

753
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: of defensive coaches that do that, but you look at

754
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: the teams that were in the final four last year.

755
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: Andy Reid head coach calls his plays on offense. Nick

756
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: Sirianni called plays on offense for most of the year

757
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: and then I think he turned it over to stich

758
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: And late in the year. But then Kyle Shanahan calls

759
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: his own plays on offense, like the final four teams

760
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: that were in at Bengals. Zach Taylor doesn't do it

761
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: all the time, but he does do some of it.

762
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: Do you think that influence is a coach like McDermott

763
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: who's still trying to get over that hump with his

764
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: team to maybe say, well, let me take that back

765
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 2: and see if it makes a difference.

766
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 6: I think that it comes down to organization and the

767
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 6: ability to delegate really well, because as actually coach pointed

768
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 6: this out to us, that most of the situational decisions

769
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 6: are made on offense, so he's going to have to

770
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 6: be paying attention.

771
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 7: Do we go for it?

772
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 6: Do we not? That just one simple one that comes

773
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 6: to mind. So it's delegating who's communicating and responsibility it

774
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 6: is for what right and that will be what they're

775
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 6: probably figuring out in preseason and probably as the season progresses.

776
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 6: Maybe in one game it's one and the other game

777
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 6: it's another, for example, you know, based on situations that

778
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 6: they're anticipating facing. So it'll be it'll come down to

779
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 6: how lockstep the whole you know, the whole coaching staff

780
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 6: is and from what I've heard about coach from his

781
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 6: other coaches, it's, you know.

782
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 7: He's he's sweats the details.

783
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 6: He sweats the details, and everything is like you know

784
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 6: your job, Like do you know your job?

785
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

786
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 7: I know my job. So it's you know, you know

787
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 7: what you're supposed to be doing.

788
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 6: So I think that part of it is to ensure

789
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 6: that the things that he wants to have happened are happening.

790
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

791
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: The only other thing that comes to mind that I

792
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: know we'll all get a chance to see for the

793
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 2: first time, at least as it pertains to the Bills

794
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: and the Colts, is the new special teams kickoff rule,

795
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: the fair catch now an option. Maybe there's already ways

796
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: that I'm sure special teams coaches have devised. How many

797
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: line drive kicks do we see to take the fair

798
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: catch option out of the equation? How good are kickers

799
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: at that without bouncing the thing out of bounds and

800
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: putting it on the forty What are you kind of

801
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: anticipating with that now part of the equation.

802
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's a big thing, and I don't really.

803
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: Know what to expect.

804
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 8: Honestly, I think that there's so many different ways that

805
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 8: we can see it unfold. I do think we'll see

806
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 8: a lot of fair catches. But you know, at the

807
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 8: same time, I think that everyone's always looking for an

808
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 8: angle or an edge and might have some experimentation in

809
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 8: the preseason, right, I.

810
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: Think so too. Maybe not in the preseason, but I

811
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: think is the regular season kicksoff teams will unfurl an

812
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: idea here and there, and I think a lot of it.

813
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Compared like everything from an old player, it does boil

814
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: down to your players. If you've got a kicker who

815
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: can knuckleball the down, the kick down the middle between

816
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: the hashes, here's the thing, and it sounds great. It'll

817
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: be down there, bounce around. You won't know what to do.

818
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: The return team won't know what to do. But if

819
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: it bobbles into the end zone on ass, do take

820
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: it and take a knee. Problematically, it could be just

821
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: as much an issue for the coverage team as well.

822
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you got it's you don't know what's going

823
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: on either, you don't know where you're you're talke. Our

824
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: listeners are perfectly familiar with me calling players the fat.

825
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: Guy, the fat guy.

826
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Guys covering it who have not covered a lot of

827
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: kicks because everybody's been fair catching it and all of

828
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: a sudden they're called on in the spur of the moment.

829
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: To do it in like week twelve.

830
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of unknown.

831
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, that trick works once, do you know what I mean?

832
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, some you could really save it, like like true,

833
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 6: I mean Bengals and Chiefs are on New Year's right,

834
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 6: maybe we see it then, maybe the trick ords.

835
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: The ones then, But Cynthia, we got I mean, we

836
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: only have time for one more here. But Colts were

837
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: I think they led the league and kick return average

838
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: last year with Dallas Flowers, you know, one of their

839
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: corners who's a really good return guy. I think he

840
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: averaged over thirty one a return last year. What does

841
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: a team like that do They got a good guy.

842
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 7: Doing it well this year.

843
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 6: Like you said, it will come down to players and

844
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 6: the belief in the philosophy of the coaching and also

845
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 6: what they practice and what they have time for in practice.

846
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 6: But I think because it's not like a permanent change forever,

847
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 6: we haven't. It's not inked into one year only, right right, right,

848
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 6: Ken Sulton not inked into the rule book yet. Then

849
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 6: you won't necessarily see as much emphasis on it as

850
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 6: maybe we could if it was forever, because some coaches

851
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 6: could use it as a way to get that extra

852
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 6: roster spot for like an extra linebacker or an extra

853
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 6: So it really will depend. But since it's only one year,

854
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 6: maybe we do see some fatties and some tricks.

855
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: Fatty chick, the only.

856
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: Way to be good at covering sensing a catchphrase on

857
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 2: the television broadcast.

858
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: The only the only way to get good at kickoff

859
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: return is to do it a lot. That's why the

860
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: Colts were so cold.

861
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 2: I did do it a lot.

862
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: That's why they were good at it. That's it's that simple,

863
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: it really is. There's no it's not rocket science. But

864
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: you get these teams that have been getting the ball

865
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: fair caught on them for a month and a half

866
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: and it's been a month and a half since they've

867
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: covered a live kickoff. You might get some people guys

868
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: to say, you know, we're going to roll the dice.

869
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't care where it lands, let's go, and you'll

870
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: get some exciting placement, particularly later in the year, but

871
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: it'll it'll all be scouting and run up to.

872
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 7: It and injuries.

873
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: Right.

874
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: Well, listen, thanks for popping in great broadcast.

875
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 6: Wait, I have one for you really quick, because I

876
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 6: at the NFL network forced us to use the sound

877
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 6: on tapes of the radio for the touchdowns. Do you

878
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 6: have your touchdown Bills or Touchdown Buffalo?

879
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I had to fill in from Earth

880
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: late last season, you know, you know when I'm Fortunately

881
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 2: the medical situation happened, so I don't really have a

882
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: one that I say every single time, like touchdown Buffalo,

883
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: much like Murph does. So I think we'll be okay.

884
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 7: Well I don't. You can make it your own.

885
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 6: I just need I just need to know so that

886
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 6: I can prep for my season all the touchdowns.

887
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 2: We'll have something for you for sure. Thank we got

888

Speaker 1: Mild wing sauce really good. Well, no buffalo people know

905
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: the wing sauce you gotta get, right, is the medium

906
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: wing sauce.

907
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the mild and it's got a nice

908
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: it's got a nice little bite to it.

909
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: Yes, that would be. Yes, it's very good, I.

910
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 2: Would say, you know, and barbecue sauces can vary widely,

911
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: as we know. I would say this Tailgate series Bill's

912
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: Mafia barbecue sauce. It's got a tang to it. That's

913
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: that's very attract It was like dancing on my tongue with.

914
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm loving this mild sauce. Though I gotta say I

915
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't just say it. I'd say something else.

916
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 2: I still have to hit the pizza logs over here.

917
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: I didn't get a chance to see these, but this

918
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: is also from the Tailgate series, so this is new

919
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 2: this year.

920
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,160

00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: on the.

00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,279

925
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 2: on MSG, but he's actually giving the thumbs up. You know,

926
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: he does the thumbs up when he walks in the

927
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,880

929
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean the little the bite up on

930
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 2: that good.

931
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: It's kind of nice though, because it's that time of year, right,

932
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: we're all.

933
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 2: Well, you need your Tailgate ideas. Yes, right, I mean

934
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: you need your Tailgate ideas. And I know these are

935
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: kind of staples, you know, barbecue sauce, wing sauce, sauce.

936
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: Now for your pizza logs as well, you know, just

937
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: head down to Wegmans and sock up, whether it's for

938
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,959
Speaker 2: one Sunday or stocking up to the season.

939
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: Remember when we did the Showman's on seven one sixth day,

940
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: give seven one six day. Wegman's a big, big partner

941
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: in that, and we talked to the chef. I mean,

942
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: let me just say this, I am an old guy,

943
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: but the grocery store I stood up with did not

944
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: have a chef. Wegman has chefs, that's right. So she

945
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: comes out and they get it. They get they have

946
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 1: a big deal, a big business. Part of their business.

947
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: It runs on tailgates. So people call in say I

948
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: need this, this, this, and this, and they they whip

949
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: it up and he's drop by a pick it up

950
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: and go, yeah, bro, that's for me.

951
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 2: Now Here is the rule of thumb, though. At a

952
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: tailgate you have a pizza log and you're dipping it.

953
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: You know, in this Bill's Mafia Pizza sauce, there is

954
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: no double dipping aloud, Like, well, here's my take a

955
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: healthier right, use it and make it last for the

956
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: whole lot. Here's what I Unless you want to get

957
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 2: creative and turn that place, that's.

958
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: What I do. I grabbed the end that I bid off,

959
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: and I take that hold that in man. Then dip

960
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: the undipped in the unbreaten in.

961
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: In Okay, So I guess that's passable.

962
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: It's it's not having it, you know, the end that's

963
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: in your mouth back in the dip, but it is

964
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: the end that you grabbed in your hand. So if

965
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: you have clean hands.

966
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: I would say I would call this pizza sauce like, uh,

967
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: pretty mild. Like it's not like a spicy tomato sauce

968
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 2: at all. It's pretty mild. So it compliments the Pizza

969
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: Log pretty well because you know, like the Pizza Log's

970
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 2: got the cheese and the pepperoni sauce. Yeah, like you

971
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: know the.

972
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: Kind Yeah, its like the sauce they have a pizza

973
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: on and it tastes like that. It's good.

974
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a good.

975
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: But it's completely different than the you know, the wings.

976
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: It's obviously it. Yeah, it's a completely different snack. So

977
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool.

978
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: So just remember the tailgate sauces available at Wegmans. Bill's

979
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 2: Mafia Tailgate Sauces available at Wegmans, and then your favorite

994
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: be joined by the Vice President of Game Day Experience

995
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 2: and Guest Services, one Andy Major, as he will be

996
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 2: laying out the particulars for you the fan if you

997
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 2: are coming to tomorrow's pre season game. Obviously, there are

998
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: going to be some changes this year with all the

999
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 2: construction going on across Abbott Road for the new stadium,

1000
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: and so he is going to be walking us through

1001
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 2: all of that. The one thing that I do know, Steve, definitively,

1002
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: the RV and Campellot are going to be removed for

1003
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 2: this year. They will come back in twenty twenty six

1004
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: to kind of help add spaces for cars and fans.

1005
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: So that is one of the changes that I know

1006
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 2: is happening. But we'll get the full rundown from Andy

1007
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 2: Major when he joined this here on set in just

1008
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes.

1009
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big time inconvenience for a lot

1010
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: of people. The parking, it's just because of the you know,

1011
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: because it's such a big space. They're building this new

1012
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: stadium in there's nope, they're gonna lose that much parking,

1013
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: So those people are gonna have to be displaced find

1014
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: other places to park. Their game day experience is going

1015
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: to be changed a little bit in the time in

1016
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: the interim between the old stadium and the new stadium.

1017
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: So it's just part of the deal. You know, we're

1018
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 1: going to and it'll be interesting to see how they do. It.

1019
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: Will get our first crack at it tomorrow. It's gonna

1020
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: be hard. I think.

1021
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: The lots open at nine because they are having the

1022
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: Junior Tailgate because it's kids Day, right, so it's like

1023
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 2: a tailgate event for kids, and so the lots open

1024
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: at nine, you know, to kind of allow the kids

1025
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 2: enough time to partake in all that before everybody heads

1026
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 2: into the stadium. But you know, you want to. Fans

1027
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: are being encouraged to add parking passes and tickets to

1028
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: their app wallet or Google Pay in advance, because what

1029
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 2: that does is it has them readily available on their

1030
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 2: phone and it just moves everybody through that much more

1031
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 2: efficiently and kind of cuts down on the length of

1032
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 2: the lines of cars. But note, without further ado.

1033
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah there you Steve.

1034
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 2: We welcome in Bill's vice president Operations and guest Experience

1035
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: and the major who was kind enough to bring you

1036
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: your drink which you left in there in the sage.

1037
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate your my favorite.

1038
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 2: He's a man of service.

1039
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 10: Doctor Pepper.

1040
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: Well, you know, there you go.

1041
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: He's for the fans out there.

1042
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on. We were just talking. It's gonna

1043
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: be a big adjustment with the parking and the fenced

1044
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: off area over there. It's gonna be new and different.

1045
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: People are gonna have to adjust to it and get

1046
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: used to it. What are your you know, what can

1047
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: you tell them that's gonna help them?

1048
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1049
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 4: I think that.

1050
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 10: You know, the good news is, compared to last year,

1051
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 10: we're gonna basically be about the same number of car spaces.

1052
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 10: Oh really, So we work really closely with a lot

1053
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 10: of different agencies this offseason and trying to figure out

1054
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 10: the plans how it's it's all going to work. But

1055
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 10: Erie County was instrumental Department of Transportation from New York State,

1056
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 10: I mean the sheriff, our parking teams, et cetera. So

1057
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 10: we really worked real close on this. The biggest thing

1058
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 10: is fans are going to see a gigantic hole out there,

1059
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 10: and that's where the new stadium's going. That's where yeah,

1060
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 10: but from a parking standpoint, you know, unfortunately we're not

1061
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 10: bringing back the camper lot and the RV lot right

1062
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 10: so right there, we're going to save some spaces. That's

1063
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 10: exactly where the new stadium site is now. And then

1064
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 10: the bus and limbo a lot is going to be

1065
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 10: a reduced capacity, so we're not going to have as

1066
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 10: much space needs for buses and limos as we did

1067
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 10: last year. And then the other big change we made

1068
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 10: was for game day staff. So game day staff will

1069
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 10: now park at ECC in a lot area that has

1070
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 10: never been used for cars before because of the construction project,

1071
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 10: and then those spaces will go to fans, So really

1072
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 10: kind of we're offsetting the losses, so to speak, which

1073
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 10: will really help us this season. And next year twenty

1074
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 10: five and twenty six, that'll be a little bit different story.

1075
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 10: We're gonna have to refocus on the whole project again.

1076
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 2: Right, here's a question I have if people are parking

1077
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: west of the stadium, you know, beyond the construction site.

1078
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: I know the sidewalks are closed on Abbot right on

1079
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 2: the abb oh no, sidewalks.

1080
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 10: Are sidewalks will still be open, they're open.

1081
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: So what is the best walking route if they're parking

1082
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 2: west to the stadium and have to get around the construction.

1083
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 10: So, yeah, no, that's a that's a great, great question, Brownie.

1084
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 10: I mean fans are used to probably using Community Drive,

1085
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 10: which is right in the middle of the construction site. Now,

1086
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 10: so there's a fence around the whole site obviously for

1087
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 10: safety purposes. It's a working zone. What we're working with

1088
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 10: with Orchard Park Police and with all of our partners,

1089
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 10: we're encouraging fans to walk on the north side of

1090
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 10: the campus, take the large sidewalk on southwestern right to

1091
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 10: Abbot Road and right to the stadium. So instead of

1092
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 10: walking through directly to the community drive kind of towards

1093
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 10: where the team store is located. The walk just on

1094
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 10: the north part, and so maybe southwest.

1095
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 2: So maybe don't try to walk up on the shoulder

1096
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 2: on Big Tree to get to Abbit. Southwestern's your best

1097
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 2: bet because of the nice wide sidewalk.

1098
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 10: Yes, that's a that's absolutely right. And and really most

1099
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 10: of those lots on ECC's campus are actually closer to Southwestern,

1100
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 10: which really helps us out. So yeah, we we want

1101
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 10: to see how that plays out. You know, there's some

1102
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 10: talk about maybe some future planning for the new stadium

1103
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 10: about what we might do with some of those roads

1104
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 10: and adding sidewalks or larger footprints there. But in the

1105
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 10: next you know, year to three years, we have a

1106
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 10: little bit off.

1107
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: People are going to be people are going to be

1108
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: shocked if they haven't seen it. At how big that

1109
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: pit is over there. I've been equating it to a

1110
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: strip mine.

1111
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: I mean it's.

1112
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 10: Big, it's big.

1113
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: It's big.

1114
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 10: I mean it's it's it's gotten how much bigger, just

1115
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 10: even in the three weeks, it's.

1116
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: It's like a black hole. It gets bigger and bigger.

1117
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: And they're almost they may be there now because the

1118
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: last night was a few days ago. It's like they're

1119
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: going to go thirty five feet deep or thirty four

1120
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: to thirty five feet deep, and it's and the whole footprint.

1121
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, so people are gonna be and

1122
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be as interesting to believe me, in a

1123
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: preseason game. That's the most interesting thing about tomorrow. Yeah,

1124
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: I want to see that pit.

1125
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: You know.

1126
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 10: You know what's kind of cool is uh fans are

1127
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 10: trying to picture how big it's going to really look, right,

1128
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 10: and so one of the things that our new stadium

1129
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 10: construction team has shared with us, you know, John Polka

1130
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 10: and the crew, you're doing a great job trying to

1131
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 10: keep things on schedule, on budget and moving forward. If

1132
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 10: you look at the old high Mark Stadium, the current

1133
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 10: stadium and the top of the lights, that's where the

1134
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 10: top of the new stadium, I've heard an updated it's

1135
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 10: gonna be even taller. Yeah, even a little bit.

1136
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 2: Frank Cravada, who's one of our design specialists on the stadium,

1137
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 2: I saw him out of training camp. He goes, oh,

1138
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 2: it's it. We have a new number. It's now twenty

1139
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: five feet higher than the top of the last stange. Yeah,

1140
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 2: is how high the stadium is going to go. So

1141
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: that's that's interesting. But knowing that you've done your best

1142
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 2: to offset the loss of parking spaces due to the

1143
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 2: construction site with other areas as you just mentioned, Andy,

1144
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: maybe talk to me about fan plans to get here

1145
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 2: and make things easier for themselves instead of maybe having

1146
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 2: you and two other buddies come in three cars car pooling.

1147
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 2: Talk to me about that number one and then number two.

1148
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 2: The NFTA is back with the Game Day Express. Why

1149
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: don't you just kind of share some of the information

1150
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: on that too.

1151
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you know a lot of fans already

1152
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 10: carpool and come together. But yes, it'll absolutely help everybody's

1153
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 10: situation the more fans at carpool And if you're gonna

1154
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 10: talgate together, maybe you try to ride together, or maybe

1155
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 10: you meet up somewhere else locally and then come together

1156
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 10: to the stadium and then after the game you go

1157
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 10: back to your other cars. Those are things that are

1158
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 10: really gonna help, not just the bills parking lots, but

1159
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 10: also the neighborhood parking lots.

1160
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 2: But the NFTA thing I think is a great idea,

1161
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: Like you just Park. It like a satellite lot away

1162
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 2: from Orchard Park. Jump on the bus for like five bucks.

1163
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 10: Yeah right, we're excited about that. Working with the NFTA

1164
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 10: has been great. They're real good partners with this program.

1165
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 4: You know.

1166
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 10: We're working with them to try to help bring game

1167
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 10: day staff on the buses as well. We're all partners

1168
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 10: that maybe work or limp sorry, live downtown, but they're

1169
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 10: working here at the stadium. So staff are using it

1170
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 10: and then the fans are also using it from multiple sites.

1171
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 10: So it's called the NFTA Game Day Express. Fans just

1172
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 10: go on the website for NFTA. They can kind of

1173
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 10: pick and choose maybe what's the best location that what's

1174
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 10: the best timeline for them.

1175
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: Because they have they have a pickup point downtown, there's

1176
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 2: a pickup point in the north towns, I want to say,

1177
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 2: and other locations. So you have to go to NFTA

1178
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 2: website to find out where those pickup points are.

1179
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 10: Yes, there's they show the points, they show the timeframes,

1180
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 10: and then after the game we all try to make

1181
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 10: it as easy as we can for the fans too.

1182
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 10: They can pick up those buses postgame right on Abbott Road,

1183
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 10: right on the studium is great, and they'll be staged

1184
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 10: there waiting for the fans and game day staff to depart.

1185
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: The key thing though, for people, just show plan way ahead,

1186
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: have a plan, allow extra time. You know that lots

1187
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: aren't going to open until four hours before, right, So

1188
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: that's at nine o'clock they open up, and of course

1189
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: you'll stand by the neighborhood lots. Thank those people so

1190
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: much for being a part.

1191
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 10: No, fans don't realize, I think, and when I first

1192
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 10: heard this number, when I first started with the Bills

1193
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 10: years ago, we park more cars and fans attend more parking,

1194
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 10: more neighborhood parking lots than any of the Bills lots.

1195
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 10: You know, So we've got seventy thousand fans for a

1196
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 10: sold out game, we may be parking thirty thousand of

1197
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 10: those fans and Bills lots the rest, you know, close

1198
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 10: to forty thousand fans.

1199
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: They got their own, the neighborhood lots all over the place, so.

1200
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 2: They're kind of helping deframe.

1201
00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 10: We just so much appreciate the neighborhood lot owners and

1202
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 10: and what they do to help fans. They lighten your load,

1203
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 10: they really help. They just help the whole operation. In general,

1204
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 10: it's a collaborative effort, right. I mean, we've got this

1205
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 10: great team of partners that work on the game day operation,

1206
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 10: the folks I mentioned earlier not to mention all the

1207
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 10: bills departments that are involved internally, but then you throw

1208
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 10: in all the different neighborhood lot owners and what they're

1209
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 10: trying to do now to even help park r vs

1210
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 10: and campers on their property right or even buses on

1211
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 10: their property if there's bus needs beyond what we're able

1212
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 10: to park.

1213
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: So yet, so it's an ongoing thing. I mean you

1214
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: go through this every year, but you know last year

1215
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: you had the lowest number of fan incidents in team history.

1216
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: They care about each other that the experience has been

1217
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: just unbelievable. Because it's a collaboration, the fans have to

1218
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: be in on them too. I mean you have to

1219
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: have that kind of atmosphere and cooperation and so, you know,

1220
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: Buffle fans, we've always known the Mafia is different, and

1221
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: they prove it.

1222
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 10: I Mean, if you were a season to get holder,

1223
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 10: I would say fifteen years ago, right and just talk,

1224
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 10: just remember that and then compare that to last year.

1225
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 10: A lot of fans that maybe haven't been to our

1226
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 10: stadium in a long time. They're thinking that it's fifteen

1227
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 10: years ago. The fan experience, and it's just so much

1228
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 10: different and for a lot of different reasons. And then

1229
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 10: we could spend a long time, sure talk about that,

1230
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 10: but to see the number of fan incidents go down

1231
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 10: year over year over year. And it really started probably

1232
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 10: just over a decade ago, when the Buffalo Bills as

1233
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 10: an organization decided to really pay attention to the little details,

1234
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 10: whether it's one car, one space parking, no smoking in

1235
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 10: the stadium, you know, having uniformed Erie County Sheriff present

1236
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 10: in the lots, increasing our guest services staff to help

1237
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 10: fans with different things around the venue, picking up the

1238
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 10: garbage in the parking lots, making your experience a little

1239
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 10: nicer in the parking lots. Fans really took notice to

1240
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 10: little things along the way, and it really started to

1241
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 10: make a difference overall with the fan behavior, with the

1242
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 10: way fans felt about their you know, their tailgating experience,

1243
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 10: their experience in the seats, et cetera. So we're excited

1244
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 10: that it's made such a difference. As a matter of fact,

1245
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 10: to watch the team start to be so successful, the

1246
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 10: last few years, it's kind of like all married come together.

1247
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 10: Sure with the on the field, off the field experience

1248
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 10: altogether at once.

1249
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: You can feel it as well, like we go out

1250
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: and we'll go to the Combine, or we'll go to

1251
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: the you know other places. And when I was traveling,

1252
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: the national perception of what a game in Buffalo is

1253
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: like is has become a destination like national media because

1254
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: I got to go to Buffalo and see what that's about. Yeah,

1255
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: they really want to come in and experience a home

1256
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: game in Buffalo and find out why you know it's

1257
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: become such an iconic venue.

1258
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not about the craziness

1259
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 10: that we saw onral videos, you know, five ten years ago.

1260
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 10: It's more about Bill's Mafia and what that fan base

1261
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 10: is about. How much they love their team, how much

1262
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 10: they love their players, what they've done in the community,

1263
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 10: what they've done for other players right in their communities, right,

1264
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 10: I mean, that's what's taken. That's what we love about our.

1265
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: I've also said this to the mafia thing is because

1266
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: Bill's mafias mafia means family kind of thing. The Bill's

1267
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: fan base has an affection for each other that other

1268
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 1: that it doesn't describe other fan bases the same way.

1269
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: You know they there seems to be this thing why

1270
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: we go.

1271
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,080

1278
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: friendship there that's great, that's unique to this region.

Speaker 2: facial hair here in twenty twenty three edition.

1354
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm a trendsetter.

1355
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 2: Oh you're taking taking credit for this? Okay, I know

1356
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 2: I can't.

1357
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: But that might be over an overstep on my partner.

1358
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 2: But still, there's clearly a theme here with this year's set.

1359
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 2: It's all about the facial hair.

1360
01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm certainly a taker parter.

1361
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's uh, that's the set.

1362
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: It's awesome.

1363
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 2: It's kind of cool because on the back, on the

1364
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 2: back of the set.

1365
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,959
Speaker 1: I did an event at at Wegmans when they pop

1366
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: these out, and uh, these are different than the ones

1367
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: they had last year, right, I mean they had some different.

1368
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 2: They're a little different. Josh was in the set last year.

1369
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 2: Diggs was in the set last year, and Coach was.

1370
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: In and people were going absolutely insane over it, and

1371
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: there was they couldn't keep him on the shot, they

1372
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: couldn't keep them on the shelves. So, uh, this was.

1373
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 2: Like Cabbage Patch Kids in the eighties.

1374
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: So it'll be it'll be an absolute death match to

1375
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: see who takes this one home here on the you

1376
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: can have it coin flip here.

1377
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep got I keep got grandkids.

1378
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: I got seven grandkids. Who how many of them? Right?

1379
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1380
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I can't you know, and plus.

1381
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 2: Then you will see death.

1382
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 1: I'm the grandparent too that I'm taking it home, and

1383
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: you know how you get the parents like you can't

1384
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: play with it and staying right on the show.

1385
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 2: Keeping me on.

1386
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: I'm ripping that thing open and here, take play this one.

1387
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm totally into that. I'm yeah, it's not

1388
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: off toys are not off limits.

1389
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: That's right. So pick one up at your local Wegman's

1390
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 2: food markets. Again stuff, They're gonna be in Buffalo, Rochester,

1391
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 2: Southern Tier and Syracuse Wegmans, so they'll be they'll be

1392
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 2: almost wherever you are in our listening audience. And the

1393
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 2: uh there was one little secret edition on the back

1394
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 2: of this cover. Here, I'm gonna flip it over so

1395
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 2: our TV audience can see this. But there's a cameo

1396
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 2: by Coach McDermott on the back of the box. Now,

1397
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 2: he is not part of the set this year, but

1398
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 2: he does make an appearance on the back of the

1399
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: box with the super fan Josh Dawson and Vaughan. And

1400
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 2: the cool thing too is all three jerseys that the

1401
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 2: Bills wear are featured as well.

1402
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Right, blue, white and red, Yeah, cool, very home away

1403
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: and color Rush.

1404
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a cool set for sure, very nice and yeah,

1405
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 2: pick it up and ten dollars from every purchase goes

1406
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: to hospital. That's great. We have to get back to

1407
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 2: getting ready for the preseason opener tomorrow between the Bills

1408
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 2: and the Colts, and really, I think for the Colts

1409
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 2: it's about Anthony Richardson. Unfortunately, some of the narrative coming

1410
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 2: out of Colts camp has been about Jonathan Taylor, who

1411
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: is still recovering from an injury and also hoping to

1412
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 2: get a new contract and then also said I want

1413
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 2: to be traded all in the span of the last

1414
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: two weeks and it's kind of murky at best as

1415
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 2: to where all that sits right now, even though the owner,

1416
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 2: Jim Rsay, basically said we're not trading Jonathan Taylor now

1417
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 2: and we're not trading him at the deadline either. Yeah,

1418
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 2: which is Halloween by the way, for those that are wondering.

1419
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: Well, okay, you know you can say that now, but

1420
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: things change between now and then.

1421
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 2: We'll see.

1422
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's you know what, It's really strange because

1423
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: up until this running back market went crazy like it

1424
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: has or lacked, or didn't go crazy, actually calmed down

1425
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: bottomed out. We never had problems like this in the NFL.

1426
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: That was something that used to happen back in the

1427
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 1: day when there was no collective bargaining agreement that had

1428
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: a rookie structure, pay structure, all of that. So this

1429
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: is something we haven't seen in the league for a while.

1430
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: And it's this running back market and the devaluation of

1431
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: that position that has really led to it, and it's

1432
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 1: kind of a throwback situation.

1433
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: The Colts are going to be a little short handed

1434
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 2: at the running back position tomorrow because they don't have

1435
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, as we mentioned. Also, the guy that was

1436
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 2: on the other side of the Niheem Heinz trade, Zach Moss,

1437
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 2: broke his forearm last week and he is out indefinitely.

1438
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: He is missing the game. So since those two guys

1439
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 2: are not part of the running back equation for the Colts,

1440
01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 2: they have signed Kenyon Drake, who's already in his eighth season.

1441
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he's been around that long. Kenyan Drake

1442
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 2: is in his eighth season. That is wild to me.

1443
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 2: And then they also signed a fourth year guy out

1444
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 2: of New Mexico State, Jason Huntley, So they've refortified the

1445
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 2: running back position with a couple of extra players. Whether

1446
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 2: either of those guys play tomorrow, I think remains to

1447
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: be seeing. Kenyan Drake's been there a little bit longer

1448
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 2: than Jason Huntley, who just signed this week, so he

1449
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 2: may not know enough of the playbook to even get

1450
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 2: out there and run any plays.

1451
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 4: That won't matter.

1452
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 2: Well, he'll probably want to get on the field.

1453
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the quarterback who you know, he'll just say,

1454
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: run left, I'm handing it to you. Yeah, or block

1455
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: the first guy off the edge. They'll just tell him

1456
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: what to do on every play.

1457
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one way around it.

1458
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: Plus if they get an inkling. I was just saying,

1459
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: we're twenty twenty three or twenty two and a half

1460
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: hours away from the kickoff. They've got a whole day

1461
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: to give him a menu of plays. It's a preseason game.

1462
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: He needs like five plays. You know, you know this play,

1463
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: this play, this play, this play, and this play. That's it.

1464
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: You run them this way and then you run them

1465
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: to the right, and you run them to the left.

1466
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: Now you know ten plays. So that's gonna be your menu,

1467
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and you're gonna run those plays for a quarter and

1468
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: a half of this game, and that's about what that's

1469
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: what they'll do. They'll just they'll just give them a

1470
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: short menu and get him to master those mentally and

1471
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: then turn him loose because they got that much time

1472
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: to they see this coming down the road. They got

1473
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: they don't have enough guys.

1474
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing, just in you know, getting ready

1475
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: for the game and looking over the roster, that seemed

1476
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 2: unusual to me. And I want to get your take

1477
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: on this. I'm going through the depth chart for the

1478
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 2: Colts on offense, Steve. They have nine tight ends on

1479
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 2: their roster. Nine nine tight ends, Steve. Most teams have

1480
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,879
Speaker 2: four or five in camp right now. They have nine.

1481
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 2: And I mean I know they run a fair amount

1482
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 2: of two tight end sets there, but nine. I have

1483
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 2: never seen nine in the modern era.

1484
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: Maybe back in nineteen eighty when they ran the.

1485
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: Ball as much as they did, they had nine tight

1486
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,759
Speaker 2: ends in camp and the roster was one hundred and ten. Yeah,

1487
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 2: but nine on a ninety that's ten percent of your

1488
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 2: roster for the tight end position.

1489
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. Now they got they start out at

1490
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the top with you know, with Moley Cox, who's a

1491
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: really good player, Kaylen Granson.

1492
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 2: Well, Johnny Woods too. The second round.

1493
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: Jelanni Woods, second year, Froh Brown, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory,

1494
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: Michael Jacobson, Lemichael Petway, and Nick Eubanks. That that's a

1495
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys.

1496
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 2: You're right, I hadn't nine tight ends.

1497
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,759
Speaker 1: Nine, that's the weird Plus they have like four guys

1498
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: four numbers that are repeats. They got two guys on

1499
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: offense guying off, two guys that are wearing thirty five,

1500
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: two guys that are wearing thirty seven, two guys that

1501
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 1: are wearing forty seven, and two guys that are wearing

1502
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: forty eight. They got double numbers all over their roster.

1503
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 2: I mean, and because they have nine tight ends, they

1504
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 2: only have nine receivers on the roster, like the Bills

1505
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:10,839
Speaker 2: have thirteen receivers.

1506
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of Craig Cray.

1507
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 2: So they clearly leaned and and Steve. If you look

1508
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 2: at these guys, they're all big. Jelanie Woods there a

1509
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 2: third round pick from last year six seven, two fifty three,

1510
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 2: Molalley Cox sixty five, two sixty seven, Will Mallory sixty

1511
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 2: four two thirty nine, six three two forty two six

1512
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 2: five two sixty six five, two forty three, six seven,

1513
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 2: two forty four, sixty five, two fifty six, sixty five,

1514
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 2: two forty six. They got giant humans.

1515
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1516
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: I think Shane Steiken saw something on his way in

1517
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: that he said, you know what, we better do.

1518
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 2: This and nine tight ends.

1519
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,480
Speaker 1: I think I think about this though, too. Anthony Richardson

1520
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: needs help. And if you're gonna help him, give him

1521
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 1: big bodies around him, give him an offensive line, give

1522
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,839
Speaker 1: him some easy throws to make rid of the football,

1523
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: give them some big targets. Give them some guys that'll

1524
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: go out find the day. You know what I mean? Yes,

1525
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: and you gotta tip your hat. That's a smart way

1526
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: to go go with twelve personnel all the time and

1527
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: don't get out.

1528
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 2: Of it with nine tight ends. It would seem to

1529
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 2: be pointing in that direction, right. I'm very curious to

1530
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 2: see how much two tight end stuff we see tomorrow,

1531
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:25,799
Speaker 2: even in the vanilla form.

1532
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, not only the tight ends,

1533
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 1: but you're right, they're they're light at the running back spot,

1534
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: but they.

1535
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 2: Still have Well, they added some more guys.

1536
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 1: They had seven guys on the roster, but Zack Moss

1537
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor, you know, don't count. So they got

1538
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: five guys who can go and like you said, some

1539
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: of them are fresh off the shelf.

1540
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, Jason Huntly to me the flip car, Yeah, to.

1541
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 1: Me, this is a team that's gonna go the way

1542
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: of the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson three or four

1543
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: years ago.

1544
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 2: Oh you think they're gonna go Greg Roman and run

1545
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 2: style for the tight ends on the field.

1546
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: Not totally, because I think not to that degree. Maybe

1547
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: or maybe maybe I don't know. I haven't seen Anthony.

1548
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: We haven't seen Anthony Richards play enough. But they certainly

1549
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: covered that base. If that's where they go and they

1550
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: get into training camp, say hey, we can win games

1551
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 1: like this for now and we'll evolve away from it.

1552
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: But we got to give as he does. And that

1553
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to me. That's a To me,

1554
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 1: that's a big step ahead of where Baltimore was when

1555
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,839
Speaker 1: they drafted Lamar with Joe Flacco on the on the roster,

1556
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: because then they kind of they had a transition year

1557
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: and then they went full mode with Greg Roman and

1558
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: said here we go.

1559
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 2: People are like, what is this and.

1560
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Don't forget Lamar turned into an MVP doing that, So

1561
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: there's something to be said that it can be successful

1562
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: if if you got the right guys around him, and

1563
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: certainly with nine tight ends and they're all like behemoths big,

1564
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: maybe we're you know, I can't say I'm gonna talk

1565
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: about it all tomorrow, but man, that's a good predictory

1566
01:14:59,280 --> 01:14:59,759
Speaker 1: of watching.

1567
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's very interesting. We are now thirty one

1568
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 2: days away from the season opener Bill's Jets Monday Night

1569
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 2: Football at Medlife Stadium. It is August eleventh. The openers

1570
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 2: on September eleventh obviously have August thirty first, which sticks

1571
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 2: the extra day in there to make it thirty one

1572
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 2: days until the opener. And I don't know how many

1573
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 2: of you follow this, but on Twitter there is a

1574
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 2: Twitter handle called Bills on VHS and they play a

1575
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 2: lot of old Bill's highlights from the tube sets when

1576
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 2: Steve was playing, and with thirty one days left, they

1577
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,799
Speaker 2: pick a player that wore that jersey number. So JD.

1578
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 2: Williams is the featured performer, but best supporting actor in

1579
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 2: this clip is one Steve Tasker. Let's roll the tape.

1580
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 2: So this is a night game nineteen ninety season. Bill's

1581
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 2: raiders for our radio listeners. They should turn the sound up, Yeah,

1582
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 2: they should. Raiders back to punt and Steve goes in unblocked.

1583
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 2: How nobody has accounted for you is beyond me. You

1584
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 2: get a clean release.

1585
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: That was their scheme.

1586
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 2: You have a clean release, you go in, you block

1587
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 2: the punch. J. D. Williams scoops it up, runs it

1588
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 2: in for a touchdown to put the Bills ahead twenty

1589
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 2: eight to twenty four in the game. And this was

1590
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 2: also a game where Steve earlier in the contest had

1591
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 2: a forced fumble. So thirty one days until the opener J. D.

1592
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Williams with a punt block returned for a touchdown.

1593
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: I'll say this the that was a moment when the

1594
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 1: stadium they even look at you as yeah, that was

1595
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: their scheme.

1596
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 2: See Rich, that's a dumb scheme.

1597
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 1: Well, Rich Gossip was their punter and he was very good.

1598
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 1: They had an outstanding long snapper and Rich Gossitt who

1599
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 1: could get the ball off in like one point three seconds,

1600
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: which is fast for a punts. And they for that

1601
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: reason they shift to one to the left of their

1602
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: formation if they were going to kick it, let kick

1603
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: it shifted to the left. You know, they'd do that

1604
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: and Rich would step that way, and he would step

1605
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: away from the right side, and it was just too

1606
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: fast for anybody to get there. Well, I got a

1607
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: little bit lucky because they did it, and and I

1608
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: was trying to do it all night. It was like

1609
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 1: the fourth punt they had and Trey Jones Dan Turk

1610
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: quick snapped me the punt before that, so I was

1611
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: just getting down on my stand and he quick snapped

1612
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: it was gone. I was like, oh, and I missed.

1613
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 2: It, So if you want it, I was in my stand.

1614
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm in my stance way early. Everybody was getting settled in.

1615
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm already sitting there looking at the ball, and I

1616
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: got a really nice jump, and for whatever reason, Rich

1617
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 1: Gossip stepped straight towards the center instead of a way

1618
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:51,560
Speaker 1: to the other side, and it get brought it that

1619
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: much closer to me and I got there, and that

1620
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, that's one of them. This is

1621
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: maybe the best player I ever made.

1622
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 2: You just took six steps and you got there. It

1623
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 2: six steps and layout it was hard. But I'll say

1624
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 2: this in the in the you can hear on Twitter.

1625
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: They got the soundtrack and it's it's uh, the place

1626
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: is going, it's chip carry, it's an NFL on.

1627
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 2: T and try he goes.

1628
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: All he could say was the brock. I was gonna

1629
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:27,759
Speaker 1: go back listen to these people. And I remember that

1630
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 1: that place absolutely exploded because it gave us the lead,

1631
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: and it was it was the place just went nuts.

1632
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Because it was a night game.

1633
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,560
Speaker 2: We didn't get too many of those you know, this

1634
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 2: is before and there's people in T shirts. Was this

1635
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 2: pretty early in the seat.

1636
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: It was like week three, I think, and we had

1637
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: come back and beat the Broncos the week before with

1638
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in seventy seven seconds or something as one

1639
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: of those, and we came back and beat them as

1640
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 1: nineties before we went to a super Bowl, I think, yeah,

1641
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety right, so nobody knew how good we could be.

1642
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 1: We didn't know how good we could be, and so

1643
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: they blocked this kick and we take the lead and

1644
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: we end up beating him by two scores after like

1645
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: not looking that good, and you know, we just carried

1646
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: that momentum throughout the season and we went and went

1647
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl and J. D.

1648
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: Williams was the fastest guy on the team. He went

1649
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: once and.

1650
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 2: He typically line up on the other side, right.

1651
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he had some experienced blocking kicks two in college,

1652
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: and he the moment he caught that and took a step.

1653
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: I put my hands there is a guy on the field.

1654
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 2: You didn't even follow you, just like it's a touch.

1655
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: I can't catch him. I can't even celebrate with him

1656
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: because he can outrun me. I just put my hands

1657
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: up and walked off the field. Uh. He it was great.

1658
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: You can see too that. It's kind of cool to

1659
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: see how new it was for that roster. Every guy

1660
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: on the bench just chased.

1661
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 2: Him down, jumping on him zone.

1662
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: He was great. Everybody just attacked him in the end zone.

1663
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: We were so because we you know, it wasn't a

1664
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: thing our team was used to doing. Yet is playing

1665
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: that well. Uh. We had been the bickering Bills the

1666
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: year before, and we came back and we felt we

1667
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: were in a good spot then. And the exuberance knocked

1668
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: him over. The exuberance he tells you everything you want

1669
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: to know about where that team, why that team was,

1670
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: what it was that they're just going. They just went crazy.

1671
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 1: The bench went crazy.

1672
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 2: The best, The best is the Raiders fan in the

1673
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 2: first row. He's standing there with his hands in his

1674
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 2: pockets like everybody else around him is going bananas. He's

1675
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 2: got his black and gray Raiders sweater on with his

1676
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 2: hands in his pockets, Like what goss.

1677
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,719
Speaker 1: He's just standing over that. Uh Anyway, fun stuff.

1678
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 6: J D.

1679
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: Williams Day the opener. Yeah, yeah, let's stuff.

1680
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the OBL Friday fan mail bag here

1681
01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 2: as we answer your questions and asks. Do NFL teams

1682
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 2: the Bills have players sign non disclosure agreements for players

1683
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 2: they signed, primarily for camp or the preseason. You always

1684
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 2: see teams sign guys from in the division after cuts,

1685
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 2: and I'm always wondering what insight they're allowed to give

1686
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 2: their new team. There are no NDAs.

1687
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: There are no NDAs. And if a team grabs a

1688
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: guy from the other team, you can bet they sit

1689
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: down with him and say what he got and he

1690
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: tells them yeah, it's the way it works. It is.

1691
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: There's no yeah, there's no yeah, there's nothing keeping them

1692
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: from giving them a game plan. That's why teams are

1693
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: very reticent to turn guys loose late in the week

1694
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:44,879
Speaker 1: or whatever.

1695
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 2: Right, And if you remember the Patriots did that. Going

1696
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 2: into Week one of the two thousand and three season,

1697
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 2: they release lawyer Malloy after he refuses to take a

1698
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 2: pay cut. Belichick cuts him the tuesday before the opener.

1699
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 2: The Bill sign him the same day because he's a veteran,

1700
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: he's free agent. He comes in, He practices a little

1701
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 2: bit on Thursday because he didn't pass his physical till Wednesday.

1702
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 2: Practices a little bit on Thursday, a little bit on Friday.

1703
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 2: Greg Williams tells the media because I was there and says,

1704
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 2: we'll have a package of plays for him, And I'm

1705
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 2: sitting there going yeah, right, like I right, package of plays.

1706
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 2: The guy is a bitter critter about getting cut by

1707
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 2: New England and he's playing them this week, and you're

1708
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 2: only gonna put him in for a package of plays.

1709
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 3: My eye, the guy started, he started the game, he

1710
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 3: introduced it probably gave Greg Williams and his staff the

1711
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 3: entire game plan. What was the result of that game,

1712
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,919
Speaker 3: thirty one nothing and Brady threw four picks.

1713
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. When they introduced lawyer Malloy and he

1714
01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 1: got a sack in the game, Buffalo Bill, that place

1715
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,520
Speaker 1: went absolutely bonkers.

1716
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 2: They were even louder when Sam Adams returned the interception

1717
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 2: for a touchdown for thirty seven yards. It's still the

1718
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: loudest I have ever heard that stage. They went even

1719
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 2: louder than the one of your one yard return by

1720
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 2: Teraren Johnson, primarily because there was only sixty eight hundred fans.

1721
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: That Yeah, there are moments. There have been moments in

1722
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: the last decade. That's a big particularly since well one

1723
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: of the biggest moments, and this we're down nostalgia road here.

1724
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the Tyler Boyd touchdown in Cincinnati and

1725
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: having all of the Bill's mafia and the team and

1726
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: the team, all of us watching after seventeen years, having

1727
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: that go down the way it did, and at the

1728
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 1: same exact instant finding out that we're headed back to

1729
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time and since since two

1730
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 1: thousand or what in seventeen years, unbelievable moment. I thought

1731
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 1: that was one of the all time great sports moments

1732
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:02,879
Speaker 1: I've ever witnessed.

1733
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,600
Speaker 2: It was I'll never forget that Sam Adams.

1734
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Which as bright sunshine, beautiful day packed staate in and.

1735
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 2: The press box was still at midfield at the time,

1736
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 2: and I just can tell you because I was sitting there.

1737
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 2: It was so loud. The glass on the press box

1738
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: window was vibrating from the noise.

1739
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: Yes, they had, and they were they would.

1740
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Like they were vibrating. It was crazy, absolutely nuts. Uh

1741
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 2: Cole Uh from the mail bag asks who's a player

1742
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 2: or two that has had a good camp but will

1743
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 2: need to have a good showing during the preseason to

1744
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 2: earn a roster spot. You know, i'd put in this category, Steve,

1745
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 2: what do you think of Justin Shorter. He's had a

1746
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 2: nice camp, not a dominant camp. He's had a nice camp,

1747
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 2: but he's got a double down and have a solid

1748
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 2: preseason if he's gonna lock down that wide receiver six

1749
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 2: spot because he's got competition there.

1750
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, wide receiver is a tough one because they've got

1751
01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who have some some pretty good

1752
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: who have had some pretty good camps, some practices and

1753
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:07,720
Speaker 1: stacked some days on top of each other. But there's

1754
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: a ton of guys that are available for maybe like

1755
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: one or two spots. Now, certainly there's some practice squad guys,

1756
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: and not all these guys are gonna disappear at the

1757
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: final cut. But you go down past Diggs, Davis Shakir Hardy.

1758
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, Surefield, that's five and they they'll go maybe

1759
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:30,560
Speaker 1: six guys.

1760
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 2: There's got will probably end up on the practice squad,

1761
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,160
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's probably just six. Another guy I put

1762
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 2: on that list on the defensive side of the ball,

1763
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 2: Shane Ray. He's had a good camp, not a great camp,

1764
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 2: but if he can back that up with a solid preseason,

1765
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 2: he could find his way.

1766
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 1: Camp to the rost. Cameron Kleine. Same thing those guys

1767
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: are because they're so deep at that position, and plus

1768
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: they've got you know, they've got some draft picks and

1769
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 1: some guys that have played in this defense for a minute.

1770
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: But I still think there's a place, there's a way

1771
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 1: for those guys to get this right. If they play

1772
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: well and they can prove they got an upside, I

1773
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: think there's a way they could squeeze onto the fune.

1774
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 2: Now is separation time, Yeah, for a lot of players

1775
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 2: fighting for spots. Break time for us here. We'll wrap

1776
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 2: it up with some final thoughts and questions from the

1777
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 2: Friday mail bag when we return here on One Bill's

1778
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 2: Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill Fredy.

1779
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 11: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live, Chris Brown,

1780
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 11: Steve Tasker review and back in the mail bag we

1781
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 11: go and question from Allen why was there a scaffolding

1782
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 11: in the end zone at camp where digs nearly crashed

1783
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 11: into it yesterday?

1784
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 2: Did they not learn from the Kevin Cobb incident. First

1785
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 2: of all, the Kevin Cobb incident was a complete bad

1786
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 2: luck types situation. They had rubber mats on the ground

1787
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 2: between the practice fields on the blacktop because anyone who's

1788
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,680
Speaker 2: worn cleats on blacktop and tried to jog from one

1789
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 2: field to the other, it's treacherous. You could wipe out

1790
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 2: very easily. So they put the rubber mats down, which

1791
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 2: gave players a better grip in cleats to you know,

1792
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 2: get from one field to the other. The problem is

1793
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 2: there was a slip in the mat. It furrowed and

1794
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 2: he fell and or slipped and you know, sprained his

1795
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 2: knee in the process. That was a complete freak accident

1796
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 2: when they were trying to prevent just that. As far

1797
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 2: as the scaffolding and the end zone, I can tell

1798
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 2: you it's about fifteen yards behind the end line. I

1799
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 2: mean it's even further away then the wall of the

1800
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 2: stadium is across the parking lot here from the sideline

1801
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 2: or the end line.

1802
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Simply put, if it would have been a cliff, Steph

1803
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: would never have run over it.

1804
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so it's not like right, Yeah, so it's

1805
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 2: a you know, it's there to hold up the clock

1806
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 2: so the players can see it, and it holds up

1807
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,640
Speaker 2: the camera that they use to film practice. So it

1808
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 2: has to be there. It's not there for no reason.

1809
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 2: And if you could see if Diggs had to stop

1810
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 2: before crawling underneath the scaffolding to sit on that little plank,

1811
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 2: he could have. He just decided to sit there anyway.

1812
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all about he had geared down. It

1813
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: was all about physical comfort. It was it felt better

1814
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: to him just keep running, slow down, slowly than to

1815
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: plant hard and stop short because it takes more, it

1816
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: takes more of a burst to do. But trust me,

1817
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 1: I've been there. You go through that and you jump

1818
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: through that and you kind of go even if you

1819
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: go down the side roll over once. It's easier to

1820
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: do that than to stop hard.

1821
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 4: Agreed.

1822
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: Stopping hard is the hard is. It's like it just

1823
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 1: takes too much energy. It's not worth it. I'm just

1824
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna coast.

1825
01:28:53,439 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 2: More preseason games on the schedule tonight, Packers, Bengals, Giants, Lions, Falcons, Dolphins, Steelers, Bucks, Commanders,
