They like what we're 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: doing here, and we'll continue to do it, even though 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: it is only radio. Trying to get up on TV 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: one of these days, but it is only radio. But 6 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: we're here until three. You've gone down the guest lineup. 7 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: We got a good guest lineup today and a lot 8 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about, and we do like I 9 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: think track mayf I'm wronx. We usually start the show 10 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: these days, these weird days, by acknowledging the great work 11 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: done by all the many people. And it's getting serious 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: now in New York City. Plan we're gonna have Joey 13 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Lemon on a two thirty. I plan on asking them 14 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: if we can anticipate a similar kind of crunch here 15 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: in the hospitals and with the healthcare professionals. But it 16 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: really is. I feel for our friends in New York City, 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: in all the hospital workers and medical professionals down there. 18 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: They are, you know, working long shifts, working double shifts, 19 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: working until they dropped. Some of them are getting six sick. 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: I read where at least one of them passed away. 21 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's really getting serious down there, and 22 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: I feel for those folks. Hopefully that's that's not going 23 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: to be the case all over the country, but I 24 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: do feel for the folks in New York City. Our 25 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: prayers and thoughts are with them today. They're they're heroes. 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: The health professionals. We talk a lot when we open 27 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: the show about that. I was thinking about all the 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: store clerks and grocery stores, drug stores, and all the 29 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: delivery people. We heard from a guy yesterday used delivering 30 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: from Rochester to Buffalo, back and forth. People who are 31 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: not off work today. You know, those of us who 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: are working from home, I'll say it, we'll kind of 33 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: have it easy, right, I mean, it's not the same 34 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: and overcome a couple of obstacles, but it's not real difficult. 35 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: There are people out there working, medical professionals and others 36 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: who don't have it easy. You know, they're exposed to 37 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: others who may be carrying the virus. They're trying to, 38 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, just overcome this tremendous hardship, and I feel 39 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: for all those people today. You're right, And we just 40 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: got a text going around my family, my extended family circle. 41 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: One of our like I told you, one of my 42 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: extended family members is a nurse and put out a 43 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: text today that they were having to reuse masks in 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: the hospitals because they are running out of masks. The 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: proper masks, you know that the I think they're called 46 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: N nine masks or something like that. It may not 47 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: have that right, but the masks that the healthcare workers 48 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: have to use to administer tests and be around suspected 49 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: or full fledged coronavirus cases, and they running out of 50 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: them and they're having to reuse them. So that she 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: put out a call and we texted a circle of 52 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: friends that we have and we actually ran out today 53 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: and grabbed a box somebody had in their basement of 54 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: these masks that they could use in the hospitals. So 55 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: it is going to get bad here. It's gonna get worse. 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: They're running out of some of the supplies that they 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: need to do their jobs. The healthcare professionals, they're they're 58 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: pulling long hours and their responsibilities are great, and whatever 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: you can do, you might I don't know where you 60 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: can even call to donate if you've got it, but 61 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: certainly any medical equipment of the protective variety, gloves, mask, 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: those kind of things you might look at finding somebody 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: who can really use them, who needs them, but we 64 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: had to do that this morning. So it's it's it's 65 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: bad in New York City and it's escalating here in 66 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: Western New York. These are good questions for Joey Lemo 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: right at two thirty. Can they use the mask or 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: any kind of personal protective equipment? And if so, if 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: somebody's gone them, what can they do and how are 70 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: they holding up with the equipment like that? They're good 71 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: questions for Jody, and what do you expects over the 72 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: next week or so. So, yeah, we got Jody on 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: at two thirty today, the CEO of Kalidah Health. I'm 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: looking forward to talking with Seth Wickersham from ESPN. See 75 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: he's sort of a long form writer for ESPN Tom 76 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: especially and does some appearances on the network. I guess 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: it was Monday I read his long piece about the 78 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: final days of Tom Brady with annoying the Patriots. I 79 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: know there's a segment of our listeners who don't care 80 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: where Brady places. It's a big story, I think, and 81 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: just the kind of did you read it? It It was 82 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: sort of inevitable. I guess that based on the way 83 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: last season ended for Brady and the Patriots that it 84 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: would come to this, and he wrote a really good 85 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: piece about it, an extended piece. I thought it's interesting 86 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: to kind of get behind the scenes a little bit 87 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: and see how the Patriots were working through those last 88 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: few days with Brady. Yeah, and if if everything he 89 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: says as true as he purported in the article, it's 90 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: interesting to me really about the amount of frustration and 91 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: just mental exhaustion that Tom Brady has gone through trying to, 92 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, carry the load in New England. And of course, 93 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: you know it was written about Tom Brady so and 94 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this just because you and I 95 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: disagree about him, but he made you know, it did 96 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: sound in his article like there's a lot of momentum 97 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: to you argument that Brady's going to make the big 98 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: difference in that organization. It was thanks to his leadership 99 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: and him buying in and him subjecting himself to being 100 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: just another worker b in that building that allowed Belichick 101 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: to treat everybody else the same way, to have the 102 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: culture that they fostered there in New England, the dispassionate 103 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: win at all costs of maximizing money, getting value out 104 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: of there, each and every contract, all of that stuff, 105 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: all the way down the roster. It was. It was 106 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: Brady's being the lynchpin of that philosophy as the quarterback 107 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: and the guy who's gone who went to nine Super 108 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Bowls and won six of them. Being that guy and 109 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: his desire and willingness to buy into that allowed Belichick 110 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: to do all the things he did with the rest 111 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: of the roster. And if that is indeed the case, 112 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: as Seth Wickersham put forth in the article you mentioned, 113 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: you may be right and I may be wrong about 114 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: how far the Patriots dropped this year. Well, look, I 115 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be competitive, but I don't think they're 116 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: gonna win the division and I don't think they're gonna win. Sure, 117 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: if they win more than nine games, i'd be really impressed. 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: But they've just lost a lot, not just Bradey but 119 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: others as well. But I do think him I think 120 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: we asked one of our guests last week, maybe you know, 121 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: Brady was always the bell cow there and guys would 122 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: look at him and point to him, and look at 123 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: that guy's the best player on the team and he's 124 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: in there six in the morning or he's he's going 125 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: through the offseason conditioning program, and when he's not there 126 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: to set that example. I think it's got to make 127 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: a difference, right, It's got to make a difference in 128 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the way the Patriots work and just 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: the feel around the building. I know Belichick's good, and 130 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: I know he'll be uh, I know he'll be on 131 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: top of that. I just think it's um I think 132 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: it's got to make a difference there. Yeah, I no question. 133 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: I mean, think about him, Urph. I mean I I've 134 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: we've said it him. People are in Buffalo who've seen 135 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: all the historic documents and all the films and the 136 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: and the Four Falls of Buffalo and all the interviews 137 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: and stuff that have been talking about the team's I 138 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: was on back in the nineties. The reason it was 139 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: good was because we had great players, talented players who 140 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: were all the hardest working guys on the team. They 141 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: set the tone. Jim Thurman, Bruce Andre, James Lofton, can't 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: hold Darryl Talley, you can go down the list. We 143 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: had great players who set the tone by working the hardest. 144 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: So when young players came in out of college and 145 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: when other players came in from other teams, which wasn't 146 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: as common then because there was no free agency. But 147 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: when all those guys got there, they looked at those 148 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: guys and said, oh, wow, these guys. You know, if 149 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: if the guy who is eventually going to get two 150 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: hundred sacks in the league is working that hard in practice, 151 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: I better pull the line and that and it elevates everybody. 152 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: And it's the same with Tom Brady and his career. 153 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: If that's the goat quarterback of all time and he's 154 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: doing that stuff and he's letting you know and he's 155 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: being treated like that, who am I to be treated 156 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: any differently? So it does make a difference. And Brady 157 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: does set an example, and he is the bell cow 158 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: that whole organization or has been up to this time. 159 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: It will be interesting, And there's no question, Murph, I 160 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: have no idea who's gonna fill that void. And I 161 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: don't even know if there's anybody qualified or capable of 162 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: fill in that void, even if they do have the desire. 163 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 1: But man o, man, you're right. Having a guy who's 164 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: great and famous and accomplished and has a lot of 165 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: skins on the wall doing that for the organization, for 166 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: all those years sets the tone for everybody else who 167 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: walks through the door. I don't know if that example 168 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: is gonna be there anymore.

Is really one of the foundational building blocks 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: for the sixty sixty five AFL championship team. Steve he was. 178 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: He meant a lot to this team. In the history 179 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: of this team, I think would include at least a 180 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: couple of paragraphs about what Mike Stratton meant, what that 181 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: hit was all about. And I'm glad that people remember that. Yeah, absolutely, 182 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: And the thing about it was the team that was 183 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: a really good football team. I know it's a lifetime 184 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: ago for most of us, more than a lifetime ago 185 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: for most people, but that team was full of great players, 186 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: and you can say what you want about how great 187 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: they were. Mike Stratton was one of the guys that 188 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: made it, made it click. We're gonna get the words 189 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: in the opinion of Booker Edgerson and have him put 190 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: that into perspective for us in his way and today 191 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: at twelve thirty, and it'll be fun to hear Booker 192 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: talk about Mike Stratton, the kind of player he wasn't 193 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: what he meant to that team. Yep. Coming up at 194 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: the twelve thirty and about the fifteen minutes, Steve, what 195 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: are you up to?

I mean 215 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: I don't have the technical savvy to get it done. 216 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: But it was really really comforting and fun for all 217 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: of us.

And it's yeah, it's good, 263 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: and I don't I kind of like the timing of 264 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: it as well. I gotta say they had some really 265 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: tough things to announce earlier. A lot of businesses are 266 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Delaware North PSC, A lot of the big kind will 267 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: ask Jody Lemeo when he comes on at Kalidah Health 268 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: what he has seen on his side of it. But 269 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of you know, we've heard about 270 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: the hard, hardcore, tough business decisions everybody's had to make. 271 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean our heart. You know that your heart's 272 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: not in the right place. And then but Bula's given 273 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: it enough time to start to settle and give people 274 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: a chance to get inside and get settled in their 275 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: new routine that we're all working from home, and then 276 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: to make this kind of gesture, I think it's right 277 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: on time. So I think it was. The timing was great. 278 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: It's obvious to leave more than just a gesture. I mean, goodness, gracious, 279 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. And I think it's uh, 280 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: it's well thought out and well timed, and I got 281 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, all of us know there's no end to 282 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: the need that's going to arise from from the atmosphere 283 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: we're in now. So to give it when you've got 284 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: it is a great gesture. It is a great time, 285 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: and all of us are going to be asked to 286 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: give a lot from here forward.

So good for them, and 289 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad it's and they're not alone, so that's that's 290 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: even better. It's a great example. You're right, it is 291 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: more of a gesture. It's one point two million dollars. 292 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: So somebody texts me yesterday and said, well, people start 293 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: poking holes in this now, and I said, go ahead 294 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: and try to poke holes in a one point two 295 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: million dollar donation.

I think you can find this way 298 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: to say this means nothing. This is an empty gesture. 299 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: One point two million. Boy, that that takes a lot 300 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: for people to say. And yeah, you we're not saying 301 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: they're perfect.

Well, this is an this environment, this is 305 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: an environment murph that it's it's it's weird, it's it's 306 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, and it's disorienting for everybody. And there are 307 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people who you know, they're sitting at 308 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: home working from home or maybe unemployer, and they're bitter. 309 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: And there's and there's a lot of it. There's a 310 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: lot of ill feelings towards everything that goes on, whether 311 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: it's good or bad. Every because of their own personal 312 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: situation is bad. There's a lot of people out there 313 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: that are hurting. Um. We come on the radio, you know, 314 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: every day and trying to give them something else to 315 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: think about, but some of them can't get out of it. 316 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: And uh, no matter what gesture happens, hopefully it will 317 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: help a ton of people. Um, but it's not going 318 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: to help everybody. And that's up to the rest of 319 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: us like you and me and everybody who's listening to 320 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: to up on board.

And that's uh, that's a better 324 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: way to look at life. I think. Yeah, I agree, um, 325 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: and yeah, players have come through to Josh Allen basically 326 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: sent out a tea a tweet and said yeah, count 327 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: me in. Um. Tyler Croft Bills tight End did the 328 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: same thing, um, and then uh, John Feliciano launched a 329 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: program for where he's he's based out of South Florida, 330 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: Laster program for meals on wheels in that area and 331 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: getting them set for what what's to come as far 332 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: as the donation of food items, and I anticipate there 333 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: will be more from UH from Bills players too. It's 334 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: it's it's hardening to see UH bills players jump in 335 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: like that and look for many of them, for most 336 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: of them, for all of the Bills, their only connection 337 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: here is to play here. And you can we can 338 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: argue forever what that means, but clearly this means something 339 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: to UH great many players and they're they're doing their 340 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: best to hang in there and try to help where 341 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: they can. Yeah, I agree, And we've all got something 342 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: we can do. If you just kind of look for 343 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: the opportunities that you'll you'll find some way to be 344 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: generous or some way to eat somebody else's burden. You 345 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: and I we've said it a ton of times on 346 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: the show Murf. We you know, we're sitting at home 347 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: and ask to stay at home, we're working from home, 348 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: being on the radio from home. You and I will 349 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's not perfect. We're not getting this. 350 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: You know, absolutely perfect, but you know, it may not 351 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: be a home run the way we're doing it, but 352 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: at least it's a double, you know, it's a double 353 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: and fair dirt ory. We're getting it done and we're 354 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: keeping knowing. So we're doing whatever we can and the 355 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: rest of it staying away from people. It's a small 356 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: sacrifice for you and me. There are others making greater 357 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: sacrifices than us, and I wish them well. And if 358 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: there's anything I can do to help, I hope somebody 359 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: reaches out and lets me know, because I'm more than 360 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: willing to help. But for you and me, murf, what 361 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: can we do? Accept what we're doing right now? And 362 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: I hope people can jump on board with the things 363 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: we bring to their attention. Were you aware of what 364 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: I was watching on television last name with your baseball analogy? 365 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: You're not a baseball guy. Yeah, there are there are games, 366 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: but I was watching the Uh it's got to be 367 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: twenty years old now, the Ken Burns uh multi part series. 368 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: Uh he did it for UM for PBS. I guess 369 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: the history of baseball And oh yeah, so I watch it. 370 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty old, right, Yeah, it's really good piece here's 371 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, I don't know why they do it 372 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: like this. And I've watched some episodes before the Baseball 373 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: Network MLB Network, they'll use it. They cut it up 374 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: so small, and there's so many commercials, like they'll be 375 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: six minutes, five minutes of content and then five minutes 376 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: of commercials. And the episode was in the era around 377 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: World War One and then the Black soxagandal nineteen nineteen. 378 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: I was really interested in it. I know I've seen 379 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: it before, but I probably saw it twenty years ago. 380 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm really getting into it, and but there are so 381 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: many commercials. I couldn't hang with it, you know, kind 382 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: of they can't go five minutes. Look our show we 383 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: got a lot of commercials too, but we don't put 384 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: them five minutes apart. It was tough to watch. Yeah, 385 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: I wonder what the philosophy is that and how this 386 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: is affected I mean because you and I, I mean 387 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: people might wonder why we don't know this. I don't 388 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: have a clue as to how it has changed the 389 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: the ad content for television shows or networks or anything 390 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: like that. I know this viewership has got to be 391 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: skyrocketing because everybody's sitting at home, right. Uh, everything's had 392 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: to get a bump in the numbers. Does that mean 393 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: they're going to show more commercials. I don't know. I mean, 394 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: somebody's got to pay for them, and nobody's doing business, right, 395 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: So I don't know how that works, But you're right. 396 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: I mean I've kind of noticed that as well in 397 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: the I haven't been watching TV too much over the 398 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: last couple of days, but you channel surf at all 399 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: and and all you get is commercials ony on every 400 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: station sometimes. So I wonder how that's working for advertising 401 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: in the broadcast industry, But I do take it. It'd 402 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: be nice. I don't know. Maybe you could get that 403 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: baseball thing from from Ken Burns, maybe like on a 404 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: DVD or something without without commercials or whatever. It should 405 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: be old enough that would have gone to a syndication, right, 406 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure it can get it without commercials. 407 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: Just I just was looking to fill about forty five 408 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: minutes where I wanted to go to bed, and I 409 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: was just annoying. That's all. I'm just complaining. That's all. 410 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: No big deal here too. This morning. Uh, And I 411 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: know you were on the you were on the conference 412 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: call this morning that we do every day. Uh, they're 413 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: releasing the Bills uh snow game for against the Indianapolis 414 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: Colts coming up a week from today. That game is 415 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: going to be released for Bills fans to go back 416 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: and watch the snow game against Indianapolis two years ago. 417 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: I was actually the reason that caught my ear was 418 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: because I was the sideline guy for CBS network that 419 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: did it. And they're gonna make that available, and I 420 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: don't know where they're gonna make it available. Is it 421 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: on game Pass or is it are they going to 422 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: start showing it locally? Or I think it's network, right, 423 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: I think the NFL network is a place. I think 424 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be NFL network. Yeah, that'd be pretty sure. 425 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: That's sure. Was Hey, Um, let's talk about our Twitter 426 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: poll today. Um, Off the top of my head is 427 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: where this came from today. But that's okay. Those are 428 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: some of our best Twitter polls. Um. So the Bills 429 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs to their lineup as a wide receiver. Now 430 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: you figure Diggs, John Brown, and Cole Beasley top three 431 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Now think about this. Think about this for 432 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: a second. Consider this so unlike Rod Surley last year. UM, 433 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: John Brown led the Bills in receptions last year. He had, Um, 434 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking it up here, seventy two catches for one 435 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: thousand and sixty yards, fourteen point seven yards per carry, 436 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: six touchdowns. Cole Beasley second on the Bills and receptions. 437 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: Last year, he had sixty seven catches seven hundred seventy 438 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: eight yards uh, six touchdowns. Um, here comes Stefan Diggs. 439 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: Who what do you have? Sixty three catches? So I 440 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: look it up. I think he had sixty three catches 441 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: last Year's that sound right, Steep? You know? I think. 442 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's right or not. I think 443 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: it is. Diggs had a good year and he is 444 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaker. He was especially good last year in uh, 445 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, deep passes in meaningful receptions last year. I'm 446 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: looking up his numbers last year. Stefan Diggs two hundred 447 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: nineteen or twenty nineteen, sixty three catches, eleven hundred and 448 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: thirty yards, seventeen point nine yards per carry, six catches 449 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: for touchdowns. But he had sixty three catches. He was 450 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: behind John Brown and Cole Beasley last year. His sixteen 451 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: or seventeen point nine yards per reception ahead of both 452 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: Brown and Beasley just leads me to think, and I 453 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: think I know how this is gonna work. Just because 454 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: you caught a bunch of passes one year don't mean 455 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: you won't the next year. But maybe it does. I mean, 456 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Diggs doesn't even have to catch more passes 457 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: than John Brown or Cole Beasley to have that much 458 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: of a big impact. But I thought it was interesting 459 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: to get people's thoughts. Who's going to lead the Bills 460 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: in receptions in twenty twenty and why not just spit 461 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: out a name? Tell us why is it? John Brown? 462 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: Is it Stefan Diggs? Is it Cole Beasley? Is it 463 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: somebody else? On the Twitter poll, we've got five hundred 464 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: eighty votes in so far and sixty three percent close 465 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: to two thirds. Do you think it is Stefan Diggs 466 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: it will lead the Bills in receptions this year after 467 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: finishing behind John Brown and Cole Beasley last year. Eighteen 468 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: percent say it's John Brown, eighteen percent say it's Cold Beasley, 469 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: one percent have somebody else. It might maybe a tight end, 470 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: maybe Dawson Knox, maybe a running back. But what do 471 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: you think who's going to lead the Bills and receptions? 472 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: This year. And why what do you think, Steve who 473 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: was gonna do it? Yeah, that's a good question. I 474 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: think I think it might be somebody like I think 475 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: it might be Cole Beasley. I think John Brown and 476 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: I think Steph Diggs are gonna get their share, no 477 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: question about it. I think it'll be just a pretty 478 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: even distribution. But I think the attention that Stefan Diggs 479 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: is going to command is going to open it up 480 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: underneath for Cole Beasley. I think the only here's the thing, 481 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: we gotta kind of gotta get inside the head of 482 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. What it's gonna be like for him. Is 483 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: he gonna go crazy and say, listen, I'm going for 484 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: the big play. He does that, you know, he kind 485 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: of goes crazy and goes for the big one a lot. 486 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll throw the ball to Steph Diggs a lot. 487 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: But I know this, it's gonna open it up for 488 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. And those are really easy throws to take underneath. 489 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: So I'd say yardage wise, Steph Diggs is gonna lead 490 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: the team receptions. I think Cole Beasley may have the edge. 491 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: I think the guy that's really gonna see a drop 492 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: off is probably John Brown because of you know, Steph 493 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: Diggs coming in and both those guys working down the 494 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: field further. I don't know, though, but I think Beasley 495 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: is gonna get a boost in his receptions, and I 496 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: think another year of maturity for Josh Allen. He'll take 497 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: a deep breath and calm down, take the easy completion. 498 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: So I think Cole Beasley might do it because of 499 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: the fact, you know, you got a guy like just 500 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: It's gonna be easier completions for Josh Allen to hit. 501 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: And I think the coaches are going to get in 502 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: his ears and tell him to take it. Yeah, I 503 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: like it where you're thinking. And here's the point I 504 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: guess I'm trying to speak is, look, Stefan Diggs may 505 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: have the biggest impact of any receiver on the roster 506 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: this year, but he may not lead the team in receptions. 507 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: He may not. He could. He may not lead the 508 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,239 Speaker 1: team in receptions and still have a big impact though, right, 509 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean Brown or Beasley who finished with more catches Now, 510 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: Diggs played in fifteen games last year, missed one, but 511 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: John Brown had nine more catches than he did. Cole 512 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: Beasley had four more catches. Than he did last season, 513 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: Diggs had sixty three. Maybe Diggs has a big impact 514 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: on the Bills receiving and doesn't need to catch as 515 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: many passes as the other two because his might be 516 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: more meaningful catches. That's what I want to talk about. 517 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: That's what I want to hear from. Yet, give us 518 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: a call eight oh three oh five fifty toll free 519 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

Happened 540 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: to be on the line with a great booker, Edgerson 541 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: joining us. Hello, Bookers, John Murphy and Steve Tasker here 542 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: on the full nine. Thanks coming on. Good afternoon, guys, 543 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: gad to be with you. Can you go back to 544 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: tell us what you remember about him as a teammate 545 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: and as a player. Yes, well, I came here in 546 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two right along with Mike and Tom Spistack 547 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: and and Carl Sharon as a rookie, and Mike was 548 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: a was an end. He was a receiver, but he 549 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: wasn't fast enough to to beat out the other resis 550 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: everything and compete with him. Soil Stephen turned him into 551 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: a linebacker, and that's that's where his career started and 552 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: that's where it ended. As a linebacker. He was one 553 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: of the greatest linebackers in the Buffalo Bills history. What 554 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: kind of locker room he came in with at the 555 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: same time? You did? You guys were part of those 556 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: great championship teams in the sixties. Tell us a little 557 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: bit about why did? Why couldn't? Is that's unheard of 558 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: in today's NFL. I mean, you just can't switch positions 559 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: from one side of the ball the other, plus go 560 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 1: from an outside skill guy to down inside in the box. 561 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: How big was Mike when he played and what allowed 562 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: him to make the switch of that magnitude. Well, obviously 563 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: Louise Aberan saw something in him, and Joe Collier saw 564 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: something in him to see that he would be able 565 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: to be flexible enough to play defense. And the only 566 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: erie and defense he would able to play it would 567 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: be a linebacker because he was you know, he was fast. 568 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: He was quick. I wouldn't shouldn't say it was fast, 569 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: but he was quick and he understood the defense of 570 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: the linement because he played defense in college. You know, 571 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: back in those days, you had to play both ways. 572 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: More or less so, so making that transition, you know, 573 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: looking at today's players, making that transition would be very hard, 574 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: but back then, thinking that transition would not be as 575 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: hard as it is today because they did play both 576 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: ways back at that time. Oh got you, I got you. 577 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. That's uh, that's something I didn't 578 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: realize he had done that. That that was That is 579 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: a long booker, That is a long time ago. Did 580 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: you play both ways? I sure he did. And what 581 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: did you play things too? What position did you play? 582 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: I was a running back and a defensive back, and 583 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: also special teams. Yeah, and I know that at that time. 584 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: I know it was pretty common. Everybody played special teams 585 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: at some point or other in their career, you know, 586 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: different than that, that's uh uh did Stratton play a 587 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: lot of special teams as well? Well, yes, we had 588 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: to play special teams. We only had thirty three players 589 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: on the roster back in those days. So, um, you played. 590 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: He was on the punt team, You was on the 591 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: punt return team. He was on the kickoff team. He 592 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: was on the kickoff return team. And you had to 593 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: play the position a linebacker or defensive back. So it 594 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: was a very intense time and of playing football back 595 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: in those days because you had to be very versatile 596 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: and durable. And then the years that followed, both you 597 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: and Mike had so much success for the team you 598 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: were both put on the Wall of Fame. Mike is 599 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: famous for the hit Heard Round the World on Keith Lincoln. Incidentally, 600 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: as well, Keith Lincoln ended up playing for the Buffalo 601 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: Bills for during the end of his career, and Mike 602 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: played for the Charges that not right at the end 603 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: of his career. Isn't that rye which games? You know? 604 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: But but you know, when you talk about the hit 605 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: Heard around the world, a lot of people have asked 606 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: me about it. You know, what did it look like? 607 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: You know? Well, unfortunately I did not see the hit 608 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: because I was busy trying to cover mynd man doing 609 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: that play. By the time I knew what had happened, 610 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: the play was over with, So I didn't get a 611 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: chance to see the play until it was that Tuesday 612 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: at our team meeting when we was playing, when they 613 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: was playing the films back to us, I'm not sure. 614 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: I think Murph is trying is going to get in. 615 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: We're having trouble with his Mike, I got to ask 616 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: you one more thing about that when you went on 617 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: the wall, and when you saw Mike Stratton go on 618 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: the Wall of Fame, what were your thoughts about so 619 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: many years after you guys played you went on in 620 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: twenty ten, Mike Stratton was recognized.

In the NFL, they did a lot of running, 659 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: but not a lot of passings. So the comparison was 660 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: is that if we played them at that particular time, 661 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: the AFL would be on the winning side because of 662 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: the fast game that we played. However, it proved wrong 663 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, the first super Bowl or the 664 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: World Championship they called it back then. The Kansas City 665 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: did that live up to the expectations that we all 666 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: thought that they would do in that first championship game. 667 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm trying to give I was gonna give Murpha a chance. 668 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: I did. We're having check techn We're gonna have difficulties 669 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: with John Murphy's Mike, I got it to ask you 670 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: this too. We're talking with Booker Edgerson in remembering the 671 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: Bill's Wall of Famer Mike Stratton obviously Booker a member 672 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: of the Bill's Wall of Fame as well members of 673 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: the sixty four sixty five AFL championship teams. And we're 674 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: talking about how this game has changed, and it seems 675 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: stark when you go back all the way to the 676 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: sixty four sixty five games. And we're gosh, we're fifty 677 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: years into the future for those games even more so, Uh, 678 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: what do you think when you watch the games today? Book? 679 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: And you and I've we've talked off and on for 680 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: the last two decades and longer since I've been in Buffalo. 681 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: What are the most striking differences? And you mentioned the 682 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: thirty three guys on the team as a big difference 683 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: for me. What are some of the other stark differences 684 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: you see to the day that you, wow, you really 685 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: wish you would have had maybe back in the sixty 686 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: four sixty five days. There's so many situations there. But 687 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: the equipment, obviously, the equipment is one of the biggest 688 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: points that we did not have. Practicing, we did not have. 689 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: We didn't have the training opportunity that they have today. 690 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: When you're looking at thirty three players as opposed to 691 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: the day you got fifty three players, so you're talking 692 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: twenty players different have the opportunity. You got special guys 693 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: playing special teams. They come in for one play and 694 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: go back out, where back then it wasn't all come 695 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: in for one player and go back out. You know, 696 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: you came in and played four downs or you hope 697 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: to get it three downs about of one of the 698 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: other the big things is is that the training is 699 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: so much different now than it was back then. We 700 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: had to have jobs on the offseason, so we didn't 701 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to work out and get in condition 702 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: to come in and play to doing the training camp. 703 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: We had to come to training camp to get into 704 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: condition to play the game. So those are some of 705 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: the striking differences as to back then as to post 706 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: it now is that that's one of the great things 707 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: about you know, our NFL Players Association dealing with the 708 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: collective bargeting contract, is that they're providing a lot of 709 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: safety factors and for the current ball players and future 710 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: ball players, which I am so glad to see because 711 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, I love the game of football, and I'm 712 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: quite sure Steve, you and all the other guys who 713 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,439 Speaker 1: have played the game of football love it and don't 714 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: want to see it to go away. The only way 715 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: we're gonna only way we're gonna have stave this is 716 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: by having a safer game of football for the next 717 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: twenty years, the next one hundred years, or whatever it 718 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: may be. So that's the difference between nineteen sixty two 719 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: sixty three, sixty four sixty five as to twenty eighteen, 720 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. Well, Booker, you are a man 721 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: of grace and dignity because you didn't mention anything about 722 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 1: the twenty million dollars difference there is in the paychecks either. 723 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: That's a You're right.

I 755 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: suppose we're doing all right. The Booker Edgerson interview. Booker 756 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: had a lot to say about the differences between the 757 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: sixties and the nineties and now the twenty eighteens, and 758 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: he's right, the differences are vast. Thirty three guys on 759 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: the field makes a ton of difference for the guys 760 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: these days, where you go out there and you have 761 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: fifty or forty seven on game day, forty five on 762 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: game day, and fifty three at practice, plus ten practice 763 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: squad players as well. There's a ton of guys in 764 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: the building that that just worked there back in the 765 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: sixty sixty four sixty five days. Pretty interesting to think about. 766 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: I liked how Booker chuckled when you asked, you know, 767 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: you talked about how Stratton came in and came in 768 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: as an end at Tennessee and the linebacker playing both ways. 769 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: They set them set them down, the linebacker, And I 770 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: think you asked, did you come in both sides of 771 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: the ball? Did you go, you know, two platoons? And 772 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: he laughed and he said, of course I did. Well 773 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: did I think that's indicative of how the game has changed. 774 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no kidding. I mean that those guys 775 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: they played both ways in college, they both played both ways. 776 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,959 Speaker 1: A lot of them or some of them at least, 777 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: started to play both ways in the pros. It was, 778 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: and certainly everybody was all hands on deck for special teams. 779 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: That was That was the way it just it was. 780 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: And I think that's why, you know, a lot of 781 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: the old timers, you know, we're pretty dismissive of Pro 782 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: Special Teams players when I came into the league because 783 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: to them, it was a throwaway down. You know, you 784 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: kind of caught a breather, walked to the other end 785 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: of the field after the play was over and just 786 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: started playing important downs first and ten of downs, and 787 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: so it was. It was a different atmosphere. And and 788 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: he's right as well, you talk about a brutally punishing 789 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: game those guys playing pro football, playing in you know, 790 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: in thin plastic shells for helmets, suspension helmets and thin 791 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: shoulder pads, soft pads instead of hard plastic pads. Man, 792 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: it was. It was rough, and those guys did it 793 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: and and help help the league grow in those early years. 794 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker fighting our way through all kinds 795 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: of obstacles today on one bill. So I'm happy to 796 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: have you with us. You're welcome to join us, and 797 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: maybe you want to get involved in our Twitter poll 798 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: which deals with the Bills receivers. They had Stepan Diggs 799 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: who had sixty three catches. Last year, Cole Beasley had 800 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: more than that. Beasley had sixty seven, John Brown at 801 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: seventy two. So who will lead the Bills in receptions 802 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and why look and again to reiterate, 803 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm convinced whoever leads the Bills and receptions, If it 804 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: is Stepan Diggs, that's great, but he doesn't necessarily have 805 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: to lead the Bills and receptions. They have a huge 806 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: impact on the receiving game. He may not lead the 807 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: Bills and receptions and still greatly impact the receiving game, 808 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: mostly because of the length of his reception Steve the 809 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: fact that he'll be able to get deep and maybe 810 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: provide another target deep for Josh Allen. I think that's 811 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: how he can best out this team. What do you think? Yeah? 812 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: I agree, there's there's no way to anticipate how it's 813 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: gonna work with this offense, with Josh Allen playing with 814 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and the offensive line mixed in there, how 815 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: good the run game is gonna be. You don't know. 816 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's fun to think about, and that's what 817 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: we're doing today. We're kind of, you know, deciding how 818 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: we think it's gonna be. But you're right, the contribution 819 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: to Steph Diggs make might not be strictly with the 820 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: number of catches he makes, as to how timely and 821 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: how important those catches are and how long those catches are. 822 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: With if he's down the football field, if he makes 823 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: it easier on Josh Allen to get a couple more 824 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: percentage points on his completion ratio, if he draws attention 825 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: away from John Brown, if he draws attention away from 826 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. All that is an impact that may not 827 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: come out in his stat line, but is certainly going 828 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: to make a difference for this offense. So it's fun 829 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: to think about who might be the guy that all 830 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden becomes this, you know, topic of conversation 831 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: for this offense. I don't know that it's absolutely gonna 832 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: be Steff Diggs, but there's no question he's got the 833 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: ability and he's the guy now where defense are going 834 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: to look at the Bills offensive roster and think it 835 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: starts with Stefan Diggs instead of it starts with John Brown. 836 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a big step forward. Ye. 837 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break for the top 838 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: of the hour. We're coming back with Seth Richer Sham, 839 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: who writes for ESPN, wrote a great piece behind the 840 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: scenes piece on what it was like when Tom Brady 841 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: said good bye to the Patriots a week to Joe 842 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 1: sets Richer Sham of ESPN, when we return One Bills 843 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 1: five presented by a Lot of Health, Seneca Studio is shutdown. 844 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: We're coming to you from our homes.

Steve, are you there, Come in, Steve Tasker? 851 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: Are you there? Yeah? I think everything.

This is ESBN 854 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: senior writer in his twentieth year with the SBN contributor 855 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: to Sports Center NFL Live in East sixty uh Sex 856 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: Wickersham joins us. He wrote a great piece earlier this 857 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: week on Monday about the Brady New England's split and 858 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: how it all worked out. Sex Are you there? Can 859 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: you hear us? I am, how are you guys doing? Doing? Great? 860 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: Great piece? I think it was published Monday. It normally 861 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: things like of that complexity do take a few days 862 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: for all the details to come out, right, I mean, 863 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: it took a while to sort of uncover what went 864 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: on there. But the main thing I got from your 865 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 1: piece was that this didn't just happened last week. This 866 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: kind of was in the process for a couple of weeks, right, Yeah, 867 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I've been working on this, and I'd 868 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: covered the Patriots and you know, been around a lot 869 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: of the principles for a long time, and so you know, 870 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of us knew that this 871 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 1: was a definite, you know, possibility this year, and and 872 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: so you know, in assembling the story, you know, there's 873 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 1: just you know, there's a lot that I have reported, 874 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of other things that other people 875 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: reported that when you put it together kind of like 876 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: a jigsaw puzzle, it really just kind of made it 877 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: obvious why Brady was moving on. And I think that Yes, 878 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: there's been, you know, slights over the years. You know, 879 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: you think about the Dion Branch trade that Brady didn't like. 880 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: You think about the way the team handled the flake 881 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,959 Speaker 1: Gate that Brady didn't like. You think about the way 882 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: that you know, Belichick handled the role of Tom's trainer 883 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: when he curtailed his access in the fall of twenty seventeen. 884 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I think that 885 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: the issues at the fall of twenty seventeen, the main 886 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: issue was the same issue that was going on today, 887 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: and that was Tom Brady's desire to play until his 888 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: mid forties and wanting a contract extension that reflected a 889 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 1: commitment to allow him to do that. And the Patriots 890 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: back to twenty seventeen, we're only willing to go to 891 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: year to year, and that's why we are where we are. Certainly, 892 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: one of the things about the Patriots that has gone 893 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: on over the years has been their ability to kind 894 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: of dispassionately pursue winning they've had and Tom Brady was 895 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: a big part of that. If the league dog falls 896 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 1: into line every day everybody else on the ross or does, 897 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: does this signal maybe a chink in the armor of 898 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: that culture that we've seen so much over the years. 899 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: Is the lack of Tom Brady at the top of 900 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: the food chain gonna make is it going to weaken 901 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:16,479 Speaker 1: it all the way down the roster. Well we'll see, 902 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, I think that'll be one of the fascinating 903 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: things to look at. But you know, and you raise 904 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: a great point, and you know, people want to blame someone, Well, 905 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,800 Speaker 1: it was Robert Kraft's fault, was it belichick fault? Was 906 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: it Tom Brady's fault? And when you step back and 907 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 1: think about it, I mean, and you can definitely appreciate 908 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 1: this having been on you know, some great, great teams. 909 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we're dealing with some very extreme circumstances. It 910 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: is just not every day that you have a quarterback 911 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 1: he's playing at a very high level into his early 912 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: forties and wants to continue playing until his mid forties. 913 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: I remember his dad once told me, you know, Tom's 914 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a modern day George Blanda, And at the 915 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: time I kind of rolled my eyes at it. But 916 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: here it is. It's true, and he's gonna be better 917 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: than George Blandas maybe at forty five. And then you 918 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: have Bill Belichick, who's got so many amazing attributes that 919 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 1: allowed him to be the most successful football coach of 920 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, in modern football. But and one of them 921 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 1: is his genius of knowing when to move on from 922 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 1: a player, and it's always a year early rather than 923 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 1: a year late. So those two philosophies and those two 924 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: forces were always going to be in conflict with each other, 925 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 1: and you just don't see it every now and then. 926 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: And at the end, you know, Tom held his ground, 927 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 1: he wanted a two year contract without qualifiers, and Bill 928 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: held his ground. He thought that Tom was a year 929 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: to year quarterback. And they decided to part there, you know, 930 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: to go separate ways, and you kind of have to 931 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,720 Speaker 1: respect that they both did that. We're with Seth wicker 932 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: Sham of ESPN. Brady is such a different type of player, 933 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: I mean, Matt since George Blande, we've seen a guy 934 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: who could play that long set. Couldn't it be argued 935 00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: that maybe Belichick should have adjusted his thinking the gay 936 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 1: I've got somebody different here. Maybe he can't play a 937 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: couple more years, Maybe we should give him a two 938 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: year deal. He's the greatest player in franchise history. I mean, 939 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't that be arguable that Belichick might have accommodated Brady 940 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: in some respect. Well, I think he probably did. You know, 941 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure that that Bill you know, look, they grade 942 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 1: their players very hard there, and I'm sure that like 943 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: if he had wanted to move on from Tom, you know, 944 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 1: years ago, you know, that always would have been in 945 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: the back of his head that he you know, he 946 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,880 Speaker 1: did extend this as long as it could, and he 947 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: felt it was fair to give Tom a year to 948 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 1: year contract going forward. So you know, it's I think 949 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: that you know, to say that they didn't adjust, I 950 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: don't think it's quite fair. But I think that that 951 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: last Super Bowl when that they had against the Los 952 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, was probably more significant than we realized, not 953 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: just because it was their sixth ring together. It was 954 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl that the offense didn't play very well 955 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: if you were member. I mean that game was three 956 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: to three, you know, midway through the fourth quarter, and 957 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 1: then the Patriots were able to put up ten points 958 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: and win the game. But most of their Super Bowls 959 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: have been on Brady's shoulders. I mean, He's had to 960 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: rally them to win five times from either trailing in 961 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter or being tied and so you know 962 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,919 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl against the Rams probably opened their eyes 963 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,840 Speaker 1: a little bit that hey, we can win it all 964 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 1: without our offense needing to put up you know, thirty 965 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,880 Speaker 1: five points. And you know entering this year, I mean 966 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: that defense was on a historical pace for half the 967 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 1: year before you know that the entire team just started 968 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 1: to struggle the second half of the season. I got 969 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 1: to ask you as well, one of the last things 970 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 1: about him, what do you think the aftermath will be 971 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 1: in New England? You hear rumblings and I know that 972 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: a lot of every team does it. Who whatever quarterback 973 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 1: is left standing at the end of the day, that's 974 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: the one they really like. They really like Jared Didham. 975 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: I think he has to be looked at as the favorite. 976 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to hand him the job though, 977 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: But you know, he was drafted a year ago. A 978 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: lot of teams had had him at a higher grade 979 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: they end up getting drafted at. And you know, he 980 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: got to watch Tom Brady for a year and learned 981 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: from him, and I you know, so I think that 982 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: he's the favorite going into camp. But can we just 983 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: like take a step back again. Can you imagine how 984 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: much pressure that guy's going to be under I mean, 985 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: never never has a quarterback entered a situation where he's 986 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: going to have every past analyzed like he was. I mean, 987 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: even when you know Trevor Simeon took over for Peyton Manning. 988 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we kind of knew that Peyton 989 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 1: was at the end. Whereas Tom still can play and 990 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,719 Speaker 1: he's gonna still play in Tampa and you know, have 991 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 1: a good time, and every pass that Jared Sidham is 992 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:57,279 Speaker 1: gonna throw is going to be analyzed, and you know 993 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 1: that familiar shadow is going to be in the back ground. 994 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: That is going to be a very difficult thing for him. Seth, 995 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,280 Speaker 1: what's your evaluation of how much Brady has left Kenny 996 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 1: in fact play though he's forty five. I don't know, 997 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see. I mean, you know, he's he's 998 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,399 Speaker 1: he has played at a high level. There were some 999 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: coaches that you know, knew that he was going to 1000 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 1: be a free agent and did their due diligence by 1001 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: watching him, who you know, did see a slide as 1002 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 1: the year went on. Now, I don't know if that's 1003 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 1: fair or not, but that's just you know, what some 1004 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: coaches had told me and so there was some concern that, like, hey, 1005 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, if you were in one big game, obviously 1006 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 1: you'd want him, but you know, can he get you 1007 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: throughout the season there? And you know, there were some 1008 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: some questions about that, But I think he's just I 1009 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: think Tom wanted something different and it's going to be 1010 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 1: fascinating to see how he responds. I mean, he just 1011 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: sounded so excited on that conference call the other day. 1012 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 1: He looked so excited when he was signed, when he 1013 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: was signing that contract, and I think after you know, 1014 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,400 Speaker 1: twenty years of things being the same, he just wanted 1015 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: a different coach, a different atmosphere, different teammates, and a 1016 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 1: different role within the organization. And so, you know, I 1017 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: don't think there's any reason to doubt whether he can, 1018 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, last year and continue to play it at 1019 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: a pretty high level. You know. But well that'll only 1020 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: be answered once the season goes on. I Mean, one 1021 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: of the things that the Buffalo bill fans know very 1022 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 1: well is that Tom is really good at avoiding hits, 1023 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,799 Speaker 1: and that offense in New England was set up for 1024 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,840 Speaker 1: him to avoid hits, and he was not afraid, he 1025 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: was not too proud to throw the ball in the 1026 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: dirt to avoid taking hits. And you know, Bruce Arian's 1027 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,000 Speaker 1: offense is different and it's going to be interesting to 1028 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 1: see how he adjusts it to try to accommodate Tom Brady. 1029 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 1: We're talking with Seth ESPN Senior Writers twenty year with ESPN. 1030 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:53,959 Speaker 1: He's also a contributor to Sports Center in the NFL 1031 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,920 Speaker 1: Live in E sixty. I gotta ask you, Seth. He 1032 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,359 Speaker 1: had another article. Uh, something that all of us around 1033 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,360 Speaker 1: the league have been keeping tabs on have been the 1034 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: new stadiums out west. Not only that the stadium in 1035 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: Las Vegas that we've heard about that we thought we 1036 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:08,840 Speaker 1: were going to get a chance to see in the 1037 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: draft coming up on April twenty third. But this big monstrosity, 1038 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: I call it him on strocity, but it's actually maybe 1039 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 1: a work of art. In Los Angeles, you did a 1040 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: nice article about the marriage between the Chargers and the Rams. 1041 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,319 Speaker 1: How do you see this all playing out in La? 1042 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: How's it going to look this season? Is the stadium 1043 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna be ready? And how are those two franchises gonna 1044 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 1: make it work? In the Rams bought and paid for stadium. Yeah, 1045 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna be tough. I mean, this was 1046 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 1: not a great situation entering this before, you know, coronavirus 1047 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 1: through the world for a loop. So if the NFL 1048 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 1: season opens on time, and if they are able to 1049 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: continue construction on the stadium, you know, they said that 1050 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,799 Speaker 1: about eighty five percent done, but you know there's that 1051 00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: last fifteen percent. It's difficult. You know, it will be 1052 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,760 Speaker 1: fascinating because you know, the Chargers were struggling enough sell 1053 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 1: personal seat licenses that they had the money of which 1054 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,360 Speaker 1: they had to pay the san Rockey to try to 1055 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: offset the cost of that he's paying out of his 1056 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 1: pocket for the stadium. Even if football goes on into 1057 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 1: the fall. I mean, I can't imagine that a lot 1058 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,319 Speaker 1: of the population is going to be eager to be 1059 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,839 Speaker 1: around seventy eighty thousand people and shared space, and that's 1060 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: going to make things very very difficult, you know, for 1061 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: the Chargers and for every NFL team, And so they 1062 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,720 Speaker 1: were under difficult circumstances enough, and if the Chargers really 1063 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: just don't have a solid fan base in LA after 1064 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: burning the fans diego, the Rams had done better than expected, 1065 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 1: but it was still harder than they anticipated. And now 1066 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 1: this situation has made things more difficult by such a 1067 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: vertigo inducing magnitude that I think, you know, those teams 1068 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: are just taking a day by day right now, like 1069 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 1: we all are. Yeah, you've brought up the impact on 1070 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: the coronavirus on the National Football League set, and I 1071 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: know it's early and we don't know when or if 1072 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 1: things get back to normal, But do you have any 1073 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: inkling and what it might look like in the league. 1074 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard people suggested maybe they just play 1075 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: games on TV, no fans allowed this fall? Is that 1076 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: crazy to think? No? I mean I think that, like 1077 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,919 Speaker 1: all rules are out and you know, I have no 1078 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 1: idea what they're going to do. I have no idea 1079 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: how this is gonna go about. I don't think they know. 1080 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're probably talking about various you know, 1081 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,359 Speaker 1: plans at this point, but you know they have some 1082 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: months to try to figure this out. But you know, yeah, 1083 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 1: I mean, we all know that we're under extreme circumstances 1084 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,760 Speaker 1: right now, and you know, as we all know, sports 1085 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,919 Speaker 1: is not exempt from them, and nobody knows how that's 1086 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 1: going to impact college and pro football come to fall 1087 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,360 Speaker 1: one of the things. Also, are there any other you 1088 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 1: know on the table? I mean, if the league wants 1089 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,799 Speaker 1: to go on on schedule, they're really the things that 1090 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: is preventing them to doing is out of their control. 1091 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: They may get a lot of pressure from even government. 1092 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 1: They still may be disallowed from having large gatherings. And 1093 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 1: if they still want to go on with their schedule 1094 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: as planned, which given the history and what are some 1095 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: of the stuff they've done in the past, surprised me 1096 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 1: if the NFL just decided, hey, we're gonna have our games, 1097 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 1: forget it and go on without fans. But what are 1098 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: other options if they do? Can they push the season 1099 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: back and they delay it? Can they cancel it? I mean, 1100 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 1: what options do they have? Yeah, I mean I think 1101 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 1: we're seeing how it works with you know, baseball and 1102 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 1: basketball and the NC Double A at the moment. You know, 1103 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: these are kind of test cases. But I mean I 1104 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,320 Speaker 1: think that you know, I have to believe that all 1105 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 1: options will be on the table for the league. I mean, 1106 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: at this point, you know, our government's not recommending that 1107 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: we be in groups of more than ten people at 1108 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 1: a time. That doesn't even get you out of the huddle, 1109 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 1: and so I don't know how that's gonna work. I mean, 1110 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 1: you know this is a This is an extreme time, 1111 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know what ways the league can kind 1112 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 1: of maneuver around it and make sure that the players, 1113 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: the coaches, the trainers, everyone involved in the teams and 1114 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: the fans are safe. Round the line with se Wickersham 1115 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 1: of ESPN, I want to get take you back a 1116 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:45,840 Speaker 1: month or so seth to the Super Bowl, and you 1117 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 1: wrote before the Super Bowl a post about the forty 1118 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 1: nine Ers behind the forty nine Ers super Bowl return, 1119 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: and you wrote about Lynch and Shanahan the general manager 1120 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: and head coach. Can you talk about what you see 1121 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: between in their relationship and how that helped him to 1122 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and especially in relation to you know, 1123 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: the reports from two weeks ago that maybe they would 1124 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: maybe they would jettison Jimmy Garoppolo and go with Tom Brady. 1125 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: Was that ever realistic? It's your concerned. Well, I think that, 1126 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady made it clear through various channels 1127 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: that if the forty nine ers wanted him, I think 1128 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,919 Speaker 1: that he would have probably shut down his free agency tour, 1129 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 1: if you'd even call it that. I'm still trying to 1130 00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 1: determine exactly how big of a market he had and 1131 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 1: go with the forty nine ers. Now, you know, anytime 1132 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all times is interested in playing 1133 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: for you, I think you got to do your due diligence. 1134 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, the forty nine 1135 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 1: ers were, you know, content stinking of Jimmy Garoppolo, the 1136 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 1: guy who got him to the Super Bowl this year 1137 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 1: and had some just amazing throws. And I think that 1138 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 1: you know what makes John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan so good, 1139 00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, is that it's a your situation 1140 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 1: where they're both kind of the face of the team, 1141 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 1: and you don't have that that often in the NFL. 1142 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Most teams like to have the head coach as the 1143 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 1: face of the team, even if like Pete Carroll and 1144 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: John Schneider in Seattle, where you know, both guys work 1145 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: very well in concert together. But you know, Kyle is 1146 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 1: a coach, and he loves coaching, he loves breaking down film, 1147 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: he loves doing everything that has to do with coaching, 1148 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 1: and sort of being the public face of the team 1149 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 1: isn't something that he sees his time being well spent doing. 1150 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, you have John Lynch, an enormously just popular guy, 1151 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 1: a guy who's incredibly well liked and you know, was 1152 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 1: a superstar player throughout his career. He's just very comfortable 1153 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 1: glad handing and taking phone calls and you know, doing 1154 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 1: the things that Kyle Shanahan is capable of doing what 1155 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 1: would prefer to not do. And so I think that, 1156 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: like you know, that's one of the reasons why their 1157 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 1: friendship and their management style work so well together. In 1158 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: addition to the fact that Kyle is an amazing coach 1159 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 1: and John Lynch has made some dynamite moves as a 1160 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 1: general manager. And so, you know, each of these partnerships 1161 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 1: work together differently, and you know, the forty nine Ers, 1162 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,959 Speaker 1: I'd say, is just one that stands out in terms 1163 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 1: of having two faces for the team and have it 1164 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 1: work out because both men know that they have complimentary 1165 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 1: skills and not a lot of ego attached to it. 1166 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,960 Speaker 1: You think the forty nine how the forty nine Ers 1167 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,920 Speaker 1: look to be set up for more than just this 1168 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 1: one year that they got into the Super Bowl this 1169 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 1: past year. It looks like they're set up for many 1170 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 1: more to this playoffs, but we've seen that look before. 1171 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,160 Speaker 1: Can are the forty nine ers that well set up 1172 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 1: going forward? Or are they going to be able to 1173 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 1: keep this together. They've got a ton of really good 1174 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 1: players on very early in their careers and their young times, 1175 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: the rookie contracts. Can the forty nine ers keep this going? 1176 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: And if they can, how long is it gonna last? Yeah? 1177 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that's the thing, right every time, 1178 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, a team wins the Super Bowl that's not 1179 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 1: in New England, you think, Okay, they got a couple 1180 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 1: more in them, and then it just doesn't really happen. 1181 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 1: I Mean, a lot of these teams you thought were 1182 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 1: built for the long run, you know, can't even get back. 1183 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 1: And that's you know, think about Seattle, how close they 1184 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 1: were to winning back to back Super Bowls and then 1185 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, since then they you know, you know, end 1186 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,640 Speaker 1: up petering out mid way through the playoffs. And I mean, honestly, 1187 01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 1: it makes the Buffalo Bill's accomplishments that much greater that 1188 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 1: you know, you guys were able to, you know, come 1189 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 1: back from those losses each year and and bounce back 1190 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 1: and rally as a team. And you know, there's a 1191 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 1: big difference, as you know, in the NFL between the 1192 01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: most talented team and the team that wins. And you know, 1193 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the teams that have that heart and a little bit 1194 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 1: of luck and all that talent are the ones that 1195 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 1: end up coming back. And so you know, yeah, the 1196 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,520 Speaker 1: forty nine ers do look built for the future. So 1197 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 1: do the Kansas City Chiefs. But then again, you know, 1198 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 1: so did the Seattle Seahawks. So did the Atlanta Falcons. 1199 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: Maybe the Philadelphia Eagles did too. I mean it just 1200 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: as you guys know, it just doesn't happen that often. 1201 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 1: You look at Denver, since they went to the Super 1202 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 1: Bowl incredibly dominating defense, they haven't even been to the playoffs. Um, 1203 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,280 Speaker 1: it is so hard. It is so hard. And Belichick 1204 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: and Brady talked about it on NFL Network, you know, 1205 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 1: on that NFL one show where they just talked about 1206 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,840 Speaker 1: how hard it is to get to the Super Bowl 1207 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 1: and how it's even harder to win it. And I 1208 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: think that teams like the Bills, the Cowboys, the Broncos, 1209 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, you know, back in the eighties and 1210 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,640 Speaker 1: nineties and and you know the Patriots, um just show 1211 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 1: just how difficult it is to get back to the 1212 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl because, um, you know, everyone's got a target 1213 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 1: of everyone's you know, got you in their crosshairs, and 1214 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 1: not all teams can just do it. They just can't. 1215 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,919 Speaker 1: And so it's hard to say whether the forty Niners 1216 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 1: have built for the future or not. That's kind of 1217 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,160 Speaker 1: up to them. Last question I have for you said, 1218 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 1: just your thoughts on the bills moves in the last 1219 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,560 Speaker 1: two weeks of free agency and the trade they made 1220 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 1: for Stefan Diggs, and in particular what the AFC East 1221 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 1: looks like now headed into twenty twenty. What do you 1222 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:22,560 Speaker 1: think of the Bills positioning themselves so far? Well, I mean, 1223 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: that's a very mentally tough team that you know, coach 1224 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 1: McDermott's developed there, and you know Brady has now gone 1225 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 1: and you know he's gone in the AC East for 1226 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 1: the first time since you know, the first quarter of 1227 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 1: the two thousand eight season, and so there's a lot 1228 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 1: of pressure on a lot of these coaches to make 1229 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 1: their run now that you know, the wall that Bill 1230 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 1: Belichick and Tom Brady put up and have kept up 1231 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 1: for so long isn't there anymore. And so I mean, 1232 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 1: I think, you know, coach McDermott obviously has coached his 1233 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 1: team very very well. I don't I don't think that 1234 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 1: um there the pressure on him that there would be 1235 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 1: on like Adam Gase for instance. But you know this 1236 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,920 Speaker 1: isn't opening for these guys. I mean this is this 1237 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,840 Speaker 1: is a once in twenty years opening where the most 1238 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 1: accomplished quarterback of all time isn't someone you'll face twice 1239 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 1: a year, and so it'll be fascinated to see whether 1240 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 1: the division's wide open or whether dollar Check is able 1241 01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 1: to do it again with a different player at the 1242 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 1: game's most important position. Thanks, Seth, I appreciate you coming 1243 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 1: on all right, guy, Thank you, Thank you. Seth Workersham 1244 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 1: for me ESB and he wrote a great lengthy piece 1245 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 1: that they published on Monday about the particulars of Brady's 1246 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: departure from the New England Patriots, just how it went down. 1247 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 1: So I said right at the top, it was sort 1248 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 1: of evident from his reading his piece that it didn't 1249 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 1: just happen overnight. This has been going on for a while. 1250 01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 1: You know, the tension, I guess, the dynamic between Brady 1251 01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: and battle Chick. Seth Workersham, ESPN senior writer in his 1252 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: twentieth year with that ESPN, contributed to Sports Center NFL 1253 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Live in he's sixty, Um, it sounds like they've turned 1254 01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 1: the corner a little bit, Steve, Although I was alarmed 1255 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 1: when Wickersham said, you know, the window basically something along 1256 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 1: the lines at the end there the windows open for 1257 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 1: the for once in a twenty years span, as if 1258 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 1: he expects the Patriots to replace Brady with another Tom 1259 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:26,160 Speaker 1: Brady sometimes shortly. That's alarming. Yeah, that's well, yeah, certainly 1260 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,479 Speaker 1: it's different, and yeah, you don't know what's gonna happen. 1261 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 1: There's as we're still early and as good and as 1262 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 1: fun as it's been to watch the Bills make moves, 1263 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 1: and I'm sure for Miami fans has been fun to 1264 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: watch the Miami Dolphins kind of start to put pieces 1265 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 1: back in place after they were not there for so long. Uh. 1266 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 1: And just like the Jets think the fans thinking, you 1267 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 1: know that they're gonna they're gonna find something that's gonna 1268 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: make them find the chemistry we thought they all had um. 1269 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 1: But you know, the Patriots aren't. You know, the Patriots 1270 01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: are still gonna field a team, and the Bills, Jets 1271 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 1: and Miami Dolphins still have to face off against each other. 1272 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: There's and it's still it's like we've said, laughingly, a 1273 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: couple of times, nobody wants to win the league. You're 1274 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,320 Speaker 1: not gonna win the super Bowl in March. So we 1275 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: still got a long way to go. But it certainly 1276 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 1: has changed, and to think about where it could happen 1277 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 1: and where it could go going forward. But man, oh man, Yeah, 1278 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 1: not having that guy up in New England certainly does 1279 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: change the way you feel about your team going into 1280 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Foxboro and having a chance to win. Yes, it does. Hey, 1281 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll is up and running. Who will lead 1282 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: the bills and receptions this year? And why they acquired 1283 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs who finished last year fifteen games but fewer 1284 01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:45,439 Speaker 1: receptions for fewer than Cole Beasley and about how many 1285 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: did I say? Seventy nine fewer than John Brown? So 1286 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:51,880 Speaker 1: the question is who's going to lead the bills and 1287 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: receptions this year? On our Twitter poll, we've got eight 1288 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,160 Speaker 1: hundred eighty votes in so far. Sixty three percent of 1289 01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: you say it's Diggs will lead the team and receptions, 1290 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,920 Speaker 1: eight percent say John Brown, eighteen percent say cold see 1291 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 1: one percent of somebody else. Let's hear from me.

One Goes Live presented by Gollida Health. 1299 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:41,960 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one of five, 1300 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,439 Speaker 1: John Murphy, Seed Casker, each of us in our homes 1301 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,679 Speaker 1: fighting through technical issues. I guess we're doing all right, Steve, Huh, 1302 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,880 Speaker 1: I can't tell. I don't know. We're hanging off the 1303 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 1: skin of our teeth. I don't know what it sounds 1304 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,600 Speaker 1: like it that way. I don't And quite frankly, I 1305 01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:00,680 Speaker 1: don't care. I mean, the show's going on no matter what, 1306 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 1: whether we're talking, that's right. It's like a freight train 1307 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 1: coming down the tracks. Freight train driven by the Twitter 1308 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 1: poll today. Who will lead the Bills and Receptions in 1309 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty think about it, Stefan Diggs. Look, I'm not 1310 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,799 Speaker 1: saying Stefan Digs won't have a major impact on the 1311 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 1: Bills receiving game. He will. He might be the most 1312 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 1: impactful one on the roster. He might be the most 1313 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,720 Speaker 1: talented one of the roster, but will he lead the 1314 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: team in receptions? It's sixty three last year, John Brown 1315 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 1: had seventy two, Cole Beasley had sixty seven. On Twitter 1316 01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 1: at sixty three percent of you say Stefan Digg gonna 1317 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,599 Speaker 1: lead the team in receptions? Are you sure that's going 1318 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 1: to be the case, Steve, you said you would pick 1319 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: him as well. I don't know you said Cole Beasley. 1320 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,639 Speaker 1: I think Cole Beasley might because of and I think 1321 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 1: that has an obviously. I mean, I'm always talking about this. 1322 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 1: It all depends on the guy pulling the trigger, right, 1323 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's got to have confidence in Stefan Diggs. He's 1324 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 1: got to understand him and trust him. He's got to 1325 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 1: anticipate where the guys going and that takes a little 1326 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 1: a few reps to get under under your belt. But 1327 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,639 Speaker 1: the defense doesn't know that. For all they know Steph 1328 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,640 Speaker 1: Diggs is the number one option. You're gonna go the 1329 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 1: throw to him no matter what. They got to cover 1330 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 1: him first. And I think one of the things that 1331 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 1: I'm looking for from Josh Allen is his desire and 1332 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 1: contentment taking an easy completion when you got a ten 1333 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,680 Speaker 1: yard throw to Cole Beasley. Let it sets up a 1334 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,840 Speaker 1: second and two or a first and ten. One on 1335 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: a third and seven, he catches it for eight and 1336 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: now he got a first and ten. I think Josh 1337 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: Allen's desire and ability and contentment taking those kind of 1338 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 1: completions and staying on the football field, playing complimentary football. 1339 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 1: And I think Brian Dable being in a position to 1340 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,679 Speaker 1: coach him up for a third year in a row 1341 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 1: and get more of that out of him make it 1342 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: more efficient on offense. I think all that stuff points 1343 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 1: toward maybe somebody else catching more balls than than Stefan Diggs. 1344 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,640 Speaker 1: But man, I don't know that there's going to be 1345 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,080 Speaker 1: a guy out there that's going to have more an 1346 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: effect of an effect on all the guys around in 1347 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 1: this Stefon Digg, I agree with you. I think I 1348 01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 1: agree with that characterization too. And you know, talking about content, 1349 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,599 Speaker 1: and I think it's been fairly well established at Stefan Diggs. 1350 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 1: The source of his discontent last year was not getting 1351 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:12,599 Speaker 1: enough targets, enough throws from his quarterback in Minnesota. Could 1352 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,559 Speaker 1: that happen if he doesn't lead the bills and receptions 1353 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,599 Speaker 1: this year? I hope that because, as I said, he 1354 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 1: can still be the most impactful wide receiver they have 1355 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 1: even if he does not lead the team in receptions. Yeah, 1356 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that I heard about 1357 01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 1: it wasn't so much it was it did ultimately it 1358 01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 1: was about not getting enough targets. But I think ultimately 1359 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:34,439 Speaker 1: was what I heard and the way I interpreted the 1360 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:40,639 Speaker 1: reports were he was discontented with the philosophy of the offense. 1361 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,639 Speaker 1: They handed the ball off first and foremost. Their run 1362 01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: game is what made things go. It was their play 1363 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 1: action or and all the things associated with that that 1364 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 1: it was the philosophy of the offense he thought was 1365 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 1: wasn't what it should be it should have been, And 1366 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 1: of course that did translate into him not getting enough targets, 1367 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 1: but also maybe Adam thieland as well not getting enough targets. 1368 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,439 Speaker 1: I couldn't be specific enough about you know about Steph Diggs. 1369 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: I've never met him, we haven't talked to him yet, 1370 01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 1: and we haven't heard from him yet because of all 1371 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 1: the stuff that's going on outside. But I heard and 1372 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 1: the way I interpreted what I heard was it was 1373 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 1: the philosophy of the offense rather than so much the 1374 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: execution of it and his personal role in it that 1375 01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,800 Speaker 1: he was unhappy with, and obviously the results weren't there, 1376 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 1: or nobody's unhappy if you're winning games and scoring a 1377 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 1: lot of points. So I think that that was probably 1378 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,080 Speaker 1: is a bottom line effect as well. Yeah, that's our question. 1379 01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,400 Speaker 1: Who's gonna lead the team in receptions this year? We're 1380 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 1: gonna look at the tweet sheet in a moment. But 1381 01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,679 Speaker 1: let's take a phone call Michael on the line from Atlanta. Hello, Michael, 1382 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 1: are you there? Yeah? How are you good? Real good? Good? Good? So? Okay, 1383 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 1: can I talk about two things? Sure? Yes, okay. First thing, 1384 01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,040 Speaker 1: I want to talk about potentially done offense. Uh. I 1385 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 1: want to talk about the push up challenge that's been 1386 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,639 Speaker 1: going around. Have you seen that? Yep? Okay, I have not. 1387 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:12,040 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Okay? So first I'll talk 1388 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: about this, and with the offensive weapon. So, would it 1389 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 1: make sense for the Bills to try to find a 1390 01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,760 Speaker 1: player out there who maybe had a supper year last 1391 01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,800 Speaker 1: year receiver running back, maybe they had an injury like 1392 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:25,680 Speaker 1: they found, you know, with Sermon Thomas, and they've got 1393 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,160 Speaker 1: an other guys in the past had an offer. Who've 1394 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: seen in your you know, due to an injury or 1395 01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: some other issue. Would it makes sense to look for 1396 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:36,679 Speaker 1: something like that at what position do you think, Michael Well, 1397 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:42,519 Speaker 1: possibly running back or possibly another receiver. Sure, I guess 1398 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,559 Speaker 1: it makes sense, right as long as you're not Look, 1399 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,519 Speaker 1: I'm not anti running back, and We've had this discussion 1400 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 1: for a week now. I'm anti committing a lot of 1401 01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 1: money or resources to getting a running back. Steve, what 1402 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,559 Speaker 1: do you think? I agree? I agree? Well, and that's 1403 01:13:56,560 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: the build kind of philosophy is a lot that a 1404 01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,760 Speaker 1: guy he can who have something to prove. And I 1405 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,600 Speaker 1: think that's your point, right, I mean, looking for a 1406 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:11,080 Speaker 1: guy who's a derailed by correct come prove. That's what 1407 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:15,439 Speaker 1: you're Steve. You might can you hear me? Steve? You 1408 01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: might want to repeat that. I think we lost some 1409 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,680 Speaker 1: of your content. There? Are you still there? All right? 1410 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,840 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is his point is you're finding trying 1411 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 1: to find a wide receiver or a running back who 1412 01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,639 Speaker 1: had a down year because of reasons outside of his control, 1413 01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,599 Speaker 1: either injury or a change in philosophy or whatever, and 1414 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,720 Speaker 1: then get bring him into Buffalo with him having a 1415 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:39,519 Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder and something to prove and I 1416 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 1: think that's what Buffalo does really well and has done 1417 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,479 Speaker 1: for the last three years, is getting guys in on 1418 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 1: short contracts with something to really prove. And I think 1419 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,680 Speaker 1: that's what the caller's point was. Correct, well, correct, that's right. 1420 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea, and I think that's 1421 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,479 Speaker 1: exactly what the Bills have been doing for the last 1422 01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 1: three years. Like I said, I think that's I think 1423 01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,560 Speaker 1: it's exactly who you want to bring in as a 1424 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,840 Speaker 1: guy like that in either one of those positions. Michael, 1425 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,080 Speaker 1: what's part two of your calling about the push up challenge? Okay, 1426 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 1: about the push up challenge? So, um, I turned, I'll 1427 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,559 Speaker 1: be sixty one in August, and so I'm probably when 1428 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,439 Speaker 1: I was the the same age as you, Steve, right, yeah, 1429 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,519 Speaker 1: a couple of years old or not. Mini Okay, all right, 1430 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:22,280 Speaker 1: So so anyhow I've you've been Uh You've always inspired 1431 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 1: me because you know you're you're about my same size, 1432 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, our typical NFL player. You know, I'm five 1433 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 1: to nine, about one a little bit lighter now about 1434 01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,840 Speaker 1: one eighty and uh, I played street football and I 1435 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: played the same positions you played playing street football. But anyhow, 1436 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm going with this I've been working out regularly now 1437 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 1: for over thirty one years. I have not taken a 1438 01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,240 Speaker 1: week off. So I doing the herschel at Walker Eddy 1439 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 1: to my you know, lifting weights and all that. The 1440 01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 1: push up says he does the volumes. So I saw 1441 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,240 Speaker 1: on social media that there's this push up challenge going 1442 01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 1: around and h Baker Mayfield that I think twenty five. 1443 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 1: So anyhow, I put a push up challenge out the 1444 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,960 Speaker 1: other day on Facebook to uh to some of the 1445 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo bill upste Pastor and my wife recorded me.

We always 1501 01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,719 Speaker 1: do that. Hey, this bit of news comes out this afternoon, 1502 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes ago. In Rappaport from NFL 1503 01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:09,040 Speaker 1: Network says free agent cornerback EJ. Gaines is coming back 1504 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,479 Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills. EJ. Gaines got a one year 1505 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 1: deal with the Bills. According to Rappaport, started eleven games 1506 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,960 Speaker 1: for the Bills in twenty seventeen. Last year, he went 1507 01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:22,200 Speaker 1: on IR and was released from the Bills in the 1508 01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 1: middle of the season about the middle of October twenty eighteen. 1509 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 1: The year before that, he played with the Cleveland Browns. 1510 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: So he played in twenty seventeen with Buffalo, went to 1511 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 1: the Browns in twenty eighteen, came back to Buffalo last year, 1512 01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,000 Speaker 1: got hurt. Never played a snap for the Bills in 1513 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 1: the regular season last year, but he's coming back. Maybe 1514 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,759 Speaker 1: a guy who can man be a nickel corner spot. 1515 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 1: Pretty pretty reliable player. I like EJ. Gaines, Steve I 1516 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,599 Speaker 1: do yeah, he was. He was a really welcome edition 1517 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 1: in two thou eighteen or two thousand seventy seventeen. Yeah, yeah, 1518 01:19:56,120 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: And so it'll be interested to see if he, you know, 1519 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 1: if he can come back and he's got anything left 1520 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,960 Speaker 1: in the tank. I think one of the things is 1521 01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,600 Speaker 1: you start thinking about Josh Norman, EJ. Gaines, you know, 1522 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: you're get starting to get some guys who have some 1523 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 1: veteran presence, and I think that may be a telltale 1524 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 1: sign of what the Bills are looking for and the 1525 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 1: guys they're signing that that other cornerback spot, a guy 1526 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 1: who's just been around the block, has some craftiness to him, 1527 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:23,719 Speaker 1: and maybe he's got a little something left in the tank. 1528 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 1: And whoever's got the most in the tank is the 1529 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: guy that makes the team and plays EJ. Gaines coming 1530 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,120 Speaker 1: back to the Buffalo Bills. According to the NFL Network 1531 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,240 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today, who's going to lead the team 1532 01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 1: in receptions this year? Last year it was John Brown, 1533 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:46,639 Speaker 1: followed closely behind by Cole Beasley. Now comes Stefan Diggs. 1534 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,559 Speaker 1: Who do you think it'll be a couple of interesting tweets. 1535 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,600 Speaker 1: I think that the Twitter verse sixty three percent of 1536 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: the people voting in the Twitter poll. I think it's 1537 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 1: like a reflection just well, of course it's gonna be Diggs. Boom. 1538 01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 1: Now what am I looking at the Twitter and the 1539 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 1: Twitter responses? Though, Well, let's let's take a look at him. 1540 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 1: The tweet cheap brought your bike Cargan Moving Systems, the 1541 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:10,519 Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills from Bill's Mafia nineteen 1542 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: ninety three. If Diggs doesn't lead in every receiving category, 1543 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 1: then White trade for him. Give that man the ball. 1544 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. EC tweets in my voice 1545 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,640 Speaker 1: Cole Cole Beasley while smoking Diggs are stretching the safeties. 1546 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,680 Speaker 1: The underneath space just got a little more generous receptions, 1547 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 1: cold yards Diggs. I'm buying at Steve, I am. I 1548 01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,639 Speaker 1: am all over that eat from EC here. And that's 1549 01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,519 Speaker 1: what we've been talking about, Murphy. I think, I think, 1550 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 1: and I think if Cole Beasley does lead the team 1551 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,920 Speaker 1: and receptions, he can go. He can thank John Brown 1552 01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,240 Speaker 1: and Stefan Diggs for being guys that just clear the 1553 01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,880 Speaker 1: field out. He can also go. Of course, he's like 1554 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,840 Speaker 1: every receiver go over and pat his quarterback on the 1555 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,600 Speaker 1: back as well, because We've seen Josh Allen take a 1556 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,720 Speaker 1: step forward, and we'd like to see him take another one. 1557 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 1: Just take the completion that's there. I'd love to see 1558 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 1: him getting more efficient. Not have you know Josh Owen 1559 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:03,960 Speaker 1: trying to make these heat. Josh tries to make those 1560 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,680 Speaker 1: impossible throws that really only a great armed quarterback can 1561 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 1: make when sometimes and maybe too often, they are an 1562 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,519 Speaker 1: easier throws to be had if he would just take them. 1563 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,120 Speaker 1: And I think he wants to win the game on 1564 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,320 Speaker 1: every snap, and he's got to kind of take a 1565 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:20,719 Speaker 1: deep breath and stop trying to do that. A couple 1566 01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: of others from the tweet sheet. From Bill's blitz, he says, 1567 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 1: if you're talking receptions, it'll be Beasley, but he'll have 1568 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 1: less than one thousand yards. He's the best slot wide 1569 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: receiver in the game and he's been eating up drag 1570 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 1: slants and outs for years. And from Tiffany, she tweets, 1571 01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 1: and I'll take John Brown to catch about seventy five 1572 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,759 Speaker 1: to eighty five patches passes this season. He caught seventy 1573 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,639 Speaker 1: two last year. She goes, in my opinion, teams will 1574 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:44,439 Speaker 1: not be able to double team him. With the addition 1575 01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,040 Speaker 1: of Diggs. I'm excited to see him Josh connect on 1576 01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,679 Speaker 1: some deep passes. I expect to see them in sync 1577 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 1: taking the top of defenses this season. And let me 1578 01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 1: read one more Bills fan twelve to eighty three on 1579 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, he's gone with Beasley says Diggs will 1580 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 1: have the biggest impact, but Beasley will get the best 1581 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 1: matchups on a more consistent basis. Beasley also does a 1582 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 1: lot more short, quick routes. He's got a great rapport 1583 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 1: with Allan. He won't have the most yards, but I 1584 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 1: think he'll get the most reception. I think these people, look, 1585 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,800 Speaker 1: I was worried when I read the responses to the 1586 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,599 Speaker 1: Twitter poll. A little bit more thought goes into these responses. 1587 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Even I think they're on the something. And now that 1588 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 1: I think of it, you said right off the bat 1589 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,360 Speaker 1: that John Brown may not get as many catches because 1590 01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,680 Speaker 1: of Digs added to the mix. You might be on 1591 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 1: the something there, right. I'm thinking John Brown can get 1592 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:32,599 Speaker 1: sixty catches and Dents can get sixty catches, and Beasley will, 1593 01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,680 Speaker 1: you know, probably lead the team with sixty five or 1594 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:37,759 Speaker 1: seventy catches. I think it'll be that kind of an attack. 1595 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,720 Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, I think that's right. It's hard, 1596 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: it's impossible to say. And we don't know what the 1597 01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 1: identity the offense is. We don't know what kind of 1598 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:49,760 Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen's going to come back this time. I 1599 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,639 Speaker 1: don't know what kind of quarterback he's gonna be after 1600 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 1: This off season is his third off season, second full 1601 01:23:56,200 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 1: off season. So it'll be interesting to see the drives 1602 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 1: that Josh is and that'll tell a tell us a 1603 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,880 Speaker 1: lot about what this offense is gonna look like. Devin Singletary, 1604 01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the run game, how it's gonna over than it did 1605 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,479 Speaker 1: a year ago. All of that plays into where who 1606 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,320 Speaker 1: gets the football, when, whearing and why and how? Plus 1607 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,680 Speaker 1: Brian Dable uh is gonna be with a with a 1608 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 1: better Josh Allen, they'll open up their playbook a little more, UH, 1609 01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:26,360 Speaker 1: and it'll be what Brian Dable sees as matchup problems 1610 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 1: for each defense they faced throughout the year. And theoretically 1611 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: this could be if if I think they envision this 1612 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 1: offense where if one one week John Brown has ten 1613 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,400 Speaker 1: catches on ten targets and the next week he is 1614 01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 1: double teamed, then Steph Diggs has ten catches for ten 1615 01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 1: targets and then the team turns its attention there. Then 1616 01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:53,960 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley has six first down on third downs. Uh 1617 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,920 Speaker 1: the next week, you know, so, I think I think 1618 01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: it's there. This offense is the defense to kind of 1619 01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:06,640 Speaker 1: pick somebody or by their own offensive set motion and 1620 01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:10,280 Speaker 1: shifts and formations and personnel combinations that the Bills will 1621 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: dictate Uber gets the best matchup and Josh Allen will 1622 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 1: make the thrill. I think that's where they envision it going, 1623 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,760 Speaker 1: and that will depend on which defense they face and 1624 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:21,720 Speaker 1: what defensive game plan they face on a week to 1625 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,799 Speaker 1: week basis. Yep, I think you're right. Hey, Changing topics 1626 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. We talked about Tyler Croft kind of 1627 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,839 Speaker 1: following Josh Allen's lead, Tyler Croft and Josh Allen donating 1628 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:35,759 Speaker 1: money to help coronavirus food and relief.

I think these Bills players, 1636 01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 1: most of them pretty good guys, kind of jumping up 1637 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 1: and doing their thinger it's kind of neat.

But there's still plenty going on, plenty to 1717 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 1: talk about. I'm happy with the reports that EJ. Gaines 1718 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:16,800 Speaker 1: could be back on the bills. He's somebody that I'm 1719 01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 1: quite familiar with. We both went to Massoo together and 1720 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:23,040 Speaker 1: so it was fun covering him when I was at 1721 01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,479 Speaker 1: Miszoo as a student. He's a good guy. He's a 1722 01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 1: quality guy. Steve, were you with it? I think EJ. 1723 01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,920 Speaker 1: Gaines is a I think he likes to cook, right, 1724 01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:31,800 Speaker 1: he'll come on and talk to us. There was a 1725 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:33,280 Speaker 1: point when I thought we're gonna get this guy a 1726 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:35,840 Speaker 1: cooking show. That's how much of a chef he is. ZJ. 1727 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,920 Speaker 1: I think it's EJ. Gaines, right, I don't know that's 1728 01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:43,640 Speaker 1: that's news to me. I'm not sure that wouldn't that 1729 01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me though if EJ was a cook. Yeah, 1730 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,439 Speaker 1: it's a good guy. Mostly. Can I get a hockey 1731 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:51,080 Speaker 1: question in real quick for you, Maddie? I know you 1732 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: cover Savers hockey the fact. Yeah. Sure. The NHL Combine 1733 01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 1: has been canceled. I guess for Buffalo. That's not good, right. 1734 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,240 Speaker 1: That would have been your first You were with us 1735 01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:03,600 Speaker 1: last year right when they went, Yes, but not not 1736 01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,400 Speaker 1: during the combine I started. I believe my first day 1737 01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:09,479 Speaker 1: was July fourteenth. I think I had a day and 1738 01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 1: a half and we went to training camp in rock Casters. 1739 01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,320 Speaker 1: The combine usually in Julian. That's a good event to 1740 01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:18,519 Speaker 1: see some of those players. It's yeah, it was going 1741 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:22,519 Speaker 1: to be June first through six this year, so bummer 1742 01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:26,360 Speaker 1: that is being pushed back or postponed would have loved 1743 01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 1: to be there, especially beinis in Buffalo on the line 1744 01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,680 Speaker 1: with Mandy Glad, John Murphy and Steve's Canster. All Right, 1745 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 1: one of the things you've been doing, Maddy, while you've 1746 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:36,920 Speaker 1: had all this time is keeping an eye on the 1747 01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 1: mock draft done by various NFL people around the league. 1748 01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 1: And the Bills have a different look to their mock 1749 01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,920 Speaker 1: draft now because they don't even first, I'll say it 1750 01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,439 Speaker 1: takes some of the fun out of it, doesn't it. Yeah, 1751 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:49,439 Speaker 1: it definitely does. I mean number twenty two is a 1752 01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:53,360 Speaker 1: pick that is pretty enticing because of the depth that 1753 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver this past year, and there's so much talk 1754 01:31:57,080 --> 01:32:00,559 Speaker 1: going into the combine and even at the combine of 1755 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,040 Speaker 1: wide receivers. That's what we spent most of our time 1756 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,720 Speaker 1: talking about with the wide receivers and how deep this 1757 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:09,280 Speaker 1: class was, and also the possibility of going after an 1758 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 1: edge rusher at twenty era at twenty two. But now 1759 01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:18,240 Speaker 1: that's gone. So now you have a third round, you 1760 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:23,439 Speaker 1: have a second round, fourth round, a fifth to sixth, 1761 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:27,799 Speaker 1: and a seventh that you have acquired from the Vikings 1762 01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,519 Speaker 1: in that trade with Stefon Diggs. So it gets a 1763 01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,599 Speaker 1: little bit different when you're looking at what you can 1764 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,840 Speaker 1: go after at number fifty four. And I've been tracking 1765 01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,640 Speaker 1: the mock drafts that have been coming out, and there's 1766 01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:41,439 Speaker 1: been quite a few that have had even seven round 1767 01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:44,360 Speaker 1: mock drafts, but quite a few have had the second 1768 01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 1: and third round options that the Bills could be going after. 1769 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:51,920 Speaker 1: And after acquiring Stefan Diggs, you're not seeing too many 1770 01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:54,960 Speaker 1: wide receivers that could go off the board to the 1771 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,800 Speaker 1: Bills at number fifty four. Surely there's going to be 1772 01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot of wide receivers that are quality receivers that 1773 01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 1: are left at fifty four, just from talking to analysts 1774 01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 1: and seeing mock drafts and just seeing the talent level there. 1775 01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,200 Speaker 1: But now a lot of these mock drafts are shifting 1776 01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:15,800 Speaker 1: to running backs and corners and offensive tackles and edge 1777 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:19,439 Speaker 1: rushers instead of a wide receiver. I'm seeing at third 1778 01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:22,600 Speaker 1: round number eighty six that we could be picking a 1779 01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: right a wide receiver based on mock drafts. But now 1780 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,639 Speaker 1: the favorite has turned to running back Jonathan Taylor out 1781 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:32,719 Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. And he's somebody who looks like a pretty 1782 01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:35,439 Speaker 1: exciting running back if the Bills were to go after 1783 01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:38,760 Speaker 1: running back at fifty four, and if he was still 1784 01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:42,040 Speaker 1: available there right I was. I was checking out some 1785 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:43,840 Speaker 1: of his statistics for if you want to know what 1786 01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:47,519 Speaker 1: he did at the combine? Did Jonathan Taylor and of Wisconsin? 1787 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:49,360 Speaker 1: He ran a four to three nine at the combine. 1788 01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 1: He's five can, weighs two hundred and twenty six pounds. Uh, 1789 01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,360 Speaker 1: did you know seventeen reps on the bench. He jumped 1790 01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,240 Speaker 1: over ten feet in the broad jump, you know, seven 1791 01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 1: point one seven point one cone drill. I mean, so 1792 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 1: he's he's four three nine. He's an explosive runner. The 1793 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:09,639 Speaker 1: only thing, and I've read up about him, the only 1794 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 1: downside to this guy, Jonathan Payler, is this he played 1795 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,639 Speaker 1: at Wisconsin for three years and he played well for them, 1796 01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,920 Speaker 1: which means he carried the ball three hundred times a 1797 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:24,960 Speaker 1: year for Wisconsin, and NFL teams are kind of worried 1798 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,479 Speaker 1: that a guy who's carried the ball that many times 1799 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 1: may not have that much left to give in NFL football. 1800 01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 1: Another thing that sticks out just looking at his stats. 1801 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,720 Speaker 1: I watched some of his film this morning. He's fumbled 1802 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:43,840 Speaker 1: eighteen times and forty one starts, and that's the worst 1803 01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 1: thing that you can do as a running back and 1804 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,280 Speaker 1: definitely a big question mark. As you enter the NFL. 1805 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:51,559 Speaker 1: It only gets easier to fumble the football, and we 1806 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,680 Speaker 1: saw Singletary do that a couple times this past year. 1807 01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:58,320 Speaker 1: Take care of that and learn from that, but you 1808 01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:01,920 Speaker 1: don't want to see somebody fumble eighteen times in the 1809 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:06,439 Speaker 1: three years. He did it six times in his junior season, 1810 01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,880 Speaker 1: which is something that's not that great. Another thing that 1811 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,519 Speaker 1: he didn't do too much of in college was catch 1812 01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:16,439 Speaker 1: the football. Now, when Devin Singletary was coming out of 1813 01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:19,800 Speaker 1: the draft, one of his biggest questions was can he 1814 01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:22,280 Speaker 1: catched the football? He didn't do it much at FAU, 1815 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,400 Speaker 1: but he definitely has proved in the NFL that he's 1816 01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,640 Speaker 1: a great pass catching running back and can add to 1817 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:32,639 Speaker 1: that side of the game. Now. Taylor had two hundred 1818 01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:35,519 Speaker 1: and fifty two receiving yards his junior year. He had 1819 01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:40,879 Speaker 1: back to back two thousand yard rushing rushing yard seasons. 1820 01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:45,639 Speaker 1: So Steve, as you're saying, yeah, he's had a lot 1821 01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: of probably wear and tear on his body being used 1822 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:52,240 Speaker 1: that much in three straight years. Almost had a two 1823 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:56,400 Speaker 1: thousand yard year his freshman year as well at Wisconsin. 1824 01:35:56,840 --> 01:35:59,760 Speaker 1: On the Line with Mandy Glad Bill's multimedia journal issue 1825 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,760 Speaker 1: is post up on the website Buffalo bills dot com. 1826 01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:05,680 Speaker 1: The mock Draft Watcher Gairly regular thing. Hey Maddie, you 1827 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,760 Speaker 1: didn't mention Chase Claypool. Are you thinking or did they 1828 01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:11,280 Speaker 1: draft X where you've surveyed thinking it will be gone 1829 01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:16,080 Speaker 1: by the time the Bills. The mock draft watch that 1830 01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 1: I didn't came out yesterday, has I think a ten 1831 01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 1: or eleven mock drafts as of the last month, starting 1832 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:28,439 Speaker 1: in the beginning of March, before that Digs trade was made, 1833 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: and one of the mock drafts I see Chase Claypool 1834 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:38,720 Speaker 1: that was trying to look for it mocks just once. Yeah, 1835 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:43,400 Speaker 1: Another popular receiver that I'm seeing a little bit more 1836 01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:48,400 Speaker 1: than Chase Claypool at that number eighty six option is 1837 01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:52,600 Speaker 1: kJ Hamler and he is a wide receiver out of 1838 01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 1: Penn State. Now he's a slot receiver, something that the 1839 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 1: Bills don't necessarily need right now as a starter because 1840 01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,720 Speaker 1: of course we have cold easily, but he's somebody who 1841 01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 1: could add death at that wide receiver position. He's uh 1842 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:08,320 Speaker 1: five nine one seventy eight, so a little bit smaller 1843 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:10,960 Speaker 1: of a wide receiver, but that fits well in Buffalo 1844 01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:17,880 Speaker 1: because that's what we have on our wide receiver. He is. 1845 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,919 Speaker 1: The interesting thing about kJ Hamdler though, is unlike Cole Beasley, 1846 01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,800 Speaker 1: we don't see Cole Beasley being a deep ball guy 1847 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,320 Speaker 1: over and over again in Buffalo, something that Josh Allen 1848 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,679 Speaker 1: has also worked on in this offseason. He is your 1849 01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:35,280 Speaker 1: deep ball slot receiver, which is something that's kind of unique. 1850 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,719 Speaker 1: He was the guy that was going out twenty thirty 1851 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:43,800 Speaker 1: yards and making those catches because he is so quick 1852 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,519 Speaker 1: and he gets really good separations, so he would get 1853 01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,160 Speaker 1: those big plays. Over at Penn State this past year, 1854 01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,400 Speaker 1: he had fifty six catches for a nine hundred and 1855 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:56,320 Speaker 1: four receiving yards at average sixteen point one yards per reception, 1856 01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:58,960 Speaker 1: which is something that you like to see. Yep, Well, 1857 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,960 Speaker 1: it could be one of those guys. It really gets 1858 01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,280 Speaker 1: hurt by the coronavirus in that he's not going to 1859 01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,960 Speaker 1: have a pro day at Penn State. They want to 1860 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,720 Speaker 1: scouts really want to see this guy run. If you're 1861 01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:11,799 Speaker 1: five nine, one hundred and seventy eight, you better snap 1862 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:15,000 Speaker 1: off a sub four four forty and do some really 1863 01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 1: special things physically. But you're right, and he does seem 1864 01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:21,639 Speaker 1: like a little bit of a specialist in a wide 1865 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: receiving body, but as a smaller guy. But if you 1866 01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:29,800 Speaker 1: can really run, there's no doubt that he is going 1867 01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:31,760 Speaker 1: to give you a chance to make their football team, 1868 01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:33,400 Speaker 1: and he's going to find a place to play if 1869 01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:36,400 Speaker 1: if he can, if he will get a chance to 1870 01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:38,519 Speaker 1: get a chance to run for these NFL teams, which 1871 01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:40,479 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like he's gonna get to do it, 1872 01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:44,759 Speaker 1: and he's exactly the prototypical guy that we're talking about 1873 01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,080 Speaker 1: that may be hurt by the situation we're all in 1874 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 1: with the coronavirus. Yeah, and you got to think a 1875 01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:51,880 Speaker 1: lot of these guys who decided to not go through 1876 01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,960 Speaker 1: the drills at the Combine, if they're you know, sitting 1877 01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,320 Speaker 1: at home right now kind of shaking their heads wishing 1878 01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,240 Speaker 1: that they would have gone through some of those drills, 1879 01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,280 Speaker 1: because now are you going to be able to do 1880 01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,360 Speaker 1: that before the draft. You're you're not having those in 1881 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:08,720 Speaker 1: person meetings with teams. You're you're meeting with them over FaceTime, 1882 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,360 Speaker 1: but you're not having a pro day either. So there's 1883 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,439 Speaker 1: a lot of questions I think left on the table 1884 01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,639 Speaker 1: with this draft approaching with what guys can and can't 1885 01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 1: do based off of their Combine results or what they 1886 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 1: chose not to do at the Combine. And of course 1887 01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:28,200 Speaker 1: there's several players who decided not to do things at 1888 01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 1: the Combine because of injuries and they were waiting to 1889 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:33,800 Speaker 1: progress more so that by the time they got to 1890 01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 1: their pro day they were good to go for the 1891 01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,320 Speaker 1: forty and drills like that around the line with Maddy 1892 01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,200 Speaker 1: Glad Multi media journalists for the Buffalo Bills and the 1893 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:45,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Savers, talking about her her review of the mock 1894 01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,080 Speaker 1: drafts around the league. We're just about a month away 1895 01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:52,479 Speaker 1: now from the NFL Draft, if it still stays on schedule, Maddie, 1896 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 1: I know you've touched on some of these names earlier, 1897 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:56,800 Speaker 1: but what do you see out there as far as 1898 01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,000 Speaker 1: edge rush guys that might be interested in the Bills 1899 01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:00,960 Speaker 1: and who are they getting match up with in these 1900 01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 1: mock draft by NFL experts. Yeah, so, if if kJ 1901 01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:09,160 Speaker 1: Hamler and if Jonathan Taylor are options at number fifty four, 1902 01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:12,680 Speaker 1: another option at number fifty four, that second round pick 1903 01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:16,320 Speaker 1: that we have has been edge rusher Julian Okwara. And 1904 01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:19,360 Speaker 1: this is a newer player that I'm seeing that is 1905 01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,840 Speaker 1: mocked going to the Bills, somebody who wasn't really on 1906 01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,880 Speaker 1: the radar when we had that twenty second pick in 1907 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:30,240 Speaker 1: the first round, but I'm now seeing in a couple 1908 01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:33,080 Speaker 1: of mock drafts on that article that has been posted. 1909 01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:36,679 Speaker 1: He's somebody who's out of Notre Dame. His brother, Romeo 1910 01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 1: Aquara is actually on the Lions, so he's a little 1911 01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 1: bit bigger than his brother. He's six four two hundred 1912 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,360 Speaker 1: and fifty two pounds. He played in nine games last 1913 01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:49,080 Speaker 1: year and then broke his left fibula, so in twenty 1914 01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:52,080 Speaker 1: eighteen he had eight sacks. He only had five sacks 1915 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,760 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, so you saw a little bit of 1916 01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:58,439 Speaker 1: a regression there in his stat line this past year 1917 01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:02,240 Speaker 1: due to that injury. But somebody who has lanky hands 1918 01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,439 Speaker 1: and arms and he's able to get his hands up 1919 01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:08,559 Speaker 1: in passing lanes. Watching some film on him, Holy molly, 1920 01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:12,320 Speaker 1: does this guy drop in the coverage over and over 1921 01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:15,200 Speaker 1: again and is quick to do that and has made 1922 01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 1: like pass breakups ten to fifteen yards down the field. 1923 01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,679 Speaker 1: So that was fun to watch. He's good at getting 1924 01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:25,240 Speaker 1: off blocks, has that pursuit speed and that explosive finish 1925 01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:26,920 Speaker 1: to plays that you want to see out of an 1926 01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:30,640 Speaker 1: edge rusher. So he's somebody who could be off the 1927 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,640 Speaker 1: board at fifty four going to the Bills if they 1928 01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:36,960 Speaker 1: decide to go with an edge rusher at that position. 1929 01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,800 Speaker 1: We also Chris Brown and I were on a call 1930 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,439 Speaker 1: with mel Kiper yesterday because he came out with his 1931 01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,320 Speaker 1: third draft, now mock draft. Now that mock draft is 1932 01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:50,120 Speaker 1: only the first round, but he had a couple things 1933 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 1: to say about the Bills and where they could go 1934 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,240 Speaker 1: with number fifty four and eighty six, and he said, 1935 01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:57,400 Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see where some of those 1936 01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 1: edge rushers fall, and if any fall to that number 1937 01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:05,080 Speaker 1: fifty four pick that would have gone off the board 1938 01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,639 Speaker 1: early in the second round or late in the first round. 1939 01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:11,760 Speaker 1: You don't you know what I find interesting about edge 1940 01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,240 Speaker 1: rusher for the Bills, Man Eddie. They don't necessarily need 1941 01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:17,840 Speaker 1: a premiere, blue chip, can't miss prospect here. They you 1942 01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,120 Speaker 1: know they're gonna draft If they draft an edge rusher 1943 01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,439 Speaker 1: at fifty four, he's probably going to be part of 1944 01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:25,479 Speaker 1: the rotation, the seven or eight man defensive line rotation, 1945 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 1: play fifteen fifty five, maybe percent of the snaps, and 1946 01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:32,000 Speaker 1: maybe just a specialist the pass rush guy. They don't 1947 01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:34,599 Speaker 1: need an all round blue chip guy, which might open 1948 01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:35,960 Speaker 1: things up for him a little bit. As far as 1949 01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,120 Speaker 1: taking a chance on some of this prospects. Yeah, I 1950 01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:42,599 Speaker 1: think at number fifty four, you're no longer thinking depending 1951 01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:45,080 Speaker 1: on who you get. You're not thinking this guy is 1952 01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:47,200 Speaker 1: going to be an immediate starter for us. He's going 1953 01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,720 Speaker 1: to fill an immediate need. Because going back to what 1954 01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean wants out of the draft. He's told us 1955 01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:56,599 Speaker 1: many many times that you address your needs in free agency. 1956 01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,000 Speaker 1: You never want to go into the draft having to 1957 01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,360 Speaker 1: address the needs. Want to go into the draft getting 1958 01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:06,600 Speaker 1: your wants, getting your best available at that number, regardless 1959 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:09,160 Speaker 1: of the position. Now, we saw them fill a lot 1960 01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 1: of those needs in free agency with three defensive linemen, 1961 01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:17,960 Speaker 1: two linebackers, a special teamer, a great wide receiver, and 1962 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 1: so you look at number fifty four, number eighty six, 1963 01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:24,320 Speaker 1: these are probably going to be role guys. Now, these 1964 01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,559 Speaker 1: role guys could have the opportunity to earn their way 1965 01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:30,400 Speaker 1: into the starting lineup. I mean, we saw Daryl Taylor 1966 01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:34,280 Speaker 1: and Tommy Sweeney to seventh rounders this past season, get 1967 01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:36,880 Speaker 1: some good playing time this year on the team. So 1968 01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean Stefon Diggs was a fifth rounder. And I 1969 01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,040 Speaker 1: think that falls back on your scouting department and your 1970 01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:47,200 Speaker 1: general member for how they're able to pick out talented players. 1971 01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:49,320 Speaker 1: And even in this year, I think it's even more 1972 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,560 Speaker 1: important to have a really talented scouting department because of 1973 01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:56,640 Speaker 1: how little they're able to do right now with the coronavirus. 1974 01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:58,720 Speaker 1: They're not able to meet with people in person, they're 1975 01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:00,640 Speaker 1: not able to go to Pro days and things like that. 1976 01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:04,240 Speaker 1: So I think this is when the brains and the 1977 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,599 Speaker 1: ability to scout and pick people out of film are 1978 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,960 Speaker 1: going to be super important leading up to the draft. 1979 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:14,400 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, Maddie, Okay, let's just say everything's 1980 01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,440 Speaker 1: equal the player's abilities, although they may play different positions. 1981 01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,800 Speaker 1: But the Bills get down to number fifty four, pick 1982 01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:24,200 Speaker 1: what is your gut feeling about the position. If all 1983 01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:27,240 Speaker 1: things were equal, which spot do the Bills pick? Do 1984 01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,280 Speaker 1: they pick an edge rusher, an offensive lineman, wide receiver? 1985 01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:33,240 Speaker 1: What is there for them? And what position do you 1986 01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:34,760 Speaker 1: think they're going to think? You know what, we better 1987 01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:39,000 Speaker 1: take this guy now. I want to say an offensive 1988 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,880 Speaker 1: tackle or running back. Just based off of the moves 1989 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:45,080 Speaker 1: that we've made in free agency and who's left on 1990 01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:49,920 Speaker 1: the roster, I think more depth that offensive tackle would 1991 01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:53,880 Speaker 1: be a great option, especially with we're not sure what's 1992 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:56,559 Speaker 1: going to happen with Cody Ford yet, whether he's going 1993 01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:59,719 Speaker 1: to be starting at guard or tackle in the approaching 1994 01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:02,240 Speaker 1: se season. We saw him move back and forth in 1995 01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:05,120 Speaker 1: his rookie season. I'm sure they're wanting him to find 1996 01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:08,120 Speaker 1: a solid home at one of those positions this year. 1997 01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,880 Speaker 1: But Sean McDermott said, it's going to depend on who 1998 01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:13,160 Speaker 1: they get in free agency, in the draft and what 1999 01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:17,120 Speaker 1: they're able to add to the offensive line in regards 2000 01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:19,920 Speaker 1: to where Cody Ford will play in twenty twenty, so 2001 01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:22,280 Speaker 1: I think an offensive tackle, if there's something that's good 2002 01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,760 Speaker 1: on the board at fifty four, go after him. A 2003 01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:28,720 Speaker 1: running back, you need somebody to compliment Devin Singletary. You 2004 01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:30,760 Speaker 1: would think that Devin Singletary is going to be your 2005 01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:32,800 Speaker 1: number one guy next year. But if you could find 2006 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:34,880 Speaker 1: somebody who's going to be a really good compliment to 2007 01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:38,920 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, be as good as Devin Singletary, that's going 2008 01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:42,040 Speaker 1: to help the offense so much because how many times 2009 01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:45,000 Speaker 1: do we see last year the offense was opened up 2010 01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:47,280 Speaker 1: through the run, and I think that's how it's going 2011 01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:50,479 Speaker 1: to continue to be in twenty twenty. Josh Allen's still 2012 01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,160 Speaker 1: a young quarterback. Yes we have Stefan Diggs, and yes 2013 01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:56,120 Speaker 1: we have arguably one of the best wide receiver corps 2014 01:45:56,479 --> 01:46:01,679 Speaker 1: in the AFC, certainly the AFC East, but he's still 2015 01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:06,160 Speaker 1: learning and opening your offense through the run would did 2016 01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:09,160 Speaker 1: wonders for this team at times last year. You know, 2017 01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: but as I looked through your post from yesterday, Maddie, 2018 01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,400 Speaker 1: your mock draft five point oh, nobody mentioned an offensive linement. 2019 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:20,120 Speaker 1: Nobody mentioned tackle. Right, No, No, you are totally right. 2020 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:25,519 Speaker 1: So what could be? Because there's not technically going to 2021 01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:29,720 Speaker 1: be that great value at an offensive tackle at that 2022 01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:33,559 Speaker 1: number fifty four spots? Your offensive tackles could be off 2023 01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,559 Speaker 1: the board in the first and the early second round. 2024 01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,000 Speaker 1: But if it was all equal at that point, that's 2025 01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:41,720 Speaker 1: something that I would definitely want to target. But the 2026 01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:45,280 Speaker 1: favorite out of the mock draft watch that was released 2027 01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:49,559 Speaker 1: yesterday is definitely an edge or running back. And then 2028 01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,800 Speaker 1: a couple of wide receivers are are sprinkled in there, 2029 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,400 Speaker 1: one of them being kJ Hammler. And some of the 2030 01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:58,519 Speaker 1: mock drafts even have the Bills trading up a few 2031 01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 1: spots and giving up a lower a round pick four 2032 01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:03,880 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. One of them has us trading up to 2033 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,800 Speaker 1: forty eight to go after Jonathan Taylor. I don't see 2034 01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:10,000 Speaker 1: that happening, do you, Maddie, get trade up to get 2035 01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,920 Speaker 1: a running back who's going to back up Devin Single? Oh? 2036 01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:16,560 Speaker 1: I don't think so. And I also think after we 2037 01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:21,200 Speaker 1: gave up three picks this year for Stefan Diggs. Brandon 2038 01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:23,680 Speaker 1: Bean loves his draft picks. I don't see him really 2039 01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:27,840 Speaker 1: trading away anymore after we already traded away three draft picks. 2040 01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:29,880 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna want to hold on to the 2041 01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,479 Speaker 1: seven that we still have and utilize those because we 2042 01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:36,760 Speaker 1: got we got snaps and good reps out of our 2043 01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,160 Speaker 1: seventh rounders last year. And I'm sure he's going in 2044 01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:42,280 Speaker 1: the draft thinking I can get I can get stuff 2045 01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:44,840 Speaker 1: out of the two sixth rounders and the seventh rounder 2046 01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,439 Speaker 1: that I pick up. There's two. There's still two sides. 2047 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:49,519 Speaker 1: There's still two sides of that coin. Though we've talked 2048 01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:54,479 Speaker 1: about it before, Maddie John. As as successful as Brandon 2049 01:47:54,520 --> 01:48:00,160 Speaker 1: Bean has been at getting guys in the draft, it's 2050 01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,280 Speaker 1: going to be harder to get guys in the draft. 2051 01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:05,960 Speaker 1: You know, with the fifth, sixth, seventh, fifth to two 2052 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,960 Speaker 1: sixth and the seventh rounders that are good enough to 2053 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,559 Speaker 1: make this roster. This isn't the same roster they had 2054 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:14,280 Speaker 1: three This is the same roster they had two years ago, 2055 01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:17,960 Speaker 1: even last year. Offensively, now this is a much more 2056 01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:20,400 Speaker 1: difficult roster to make. So I would say that it's 2057 01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,439 Speaker 1: going to be harder for those guys to find guys 2058 01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,240 Speaker 1: that can help. Yeah, definitely, And you wonder if some 2059 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,840 Speaker 1: of the guys on the current roster, you know how 2060 01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:32,560 Speaker 1: how that competition is going to go from tradition to 2061 01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:35,040 Speaker 1: position because they love to load up those positions and 2062 01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:38,400 Speaker 1: create competition, because competition is going to breed the best 2063 01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 1: out of each and every single player, and that's where 2064 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:44,040 Speaker 1: you really start to see players shine, as in training camp, 2065 01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 1: and hopefully we do have a training camp or a 2066 01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:50,360 Speaker 1: couple camps this year, because that competition is going to 2067 01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:53,760 Speaker 1: be very helpful to what this roster will look like, 2068 01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:57,040 Speaker 1: improving what this roster will look like in twenty twenty 2069 01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:01,160 Speaker 1: when the season starts. Mattie, I believe if it stays 2070 01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:04,280 Speaker 1: on schedule, the draft is scheduled to occur four weeks 2071 01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:07,080 Speaker 1: Round one, four weeks from today, right April twenty third. 2072 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:09,320 Speaker 1: How many more of these mock draft reviews are you 2073 01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:12,439 Speaker 1: going to do? Well? We were pumping them out like 2074 01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:16,400 Speaker 1: crazy when we had a first round pick, and now 2075 01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:20,000 Speaker 1: not every mock draft has a second and third round, 2076 01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:23,040 Speaker 1: but I'm hoping we get at least two or three 2077 01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:26,360 Speaker 1: more out there within the next month because now you're 2078 01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,519 Speaker 1: seeing this free agency is dying down. More and more 2079 01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:32,320 Speaker 1: mock drafts are coming out because you're beginning to see 2080 01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:35,240 Speaker 1: the landscape of each and every team a little bit 2081 01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,360 Speaker 1: better after the moves teams have made in free agency. 2082 01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:40,920 Speaker 1: So hopefully there's going to be a few more. I'm 2083 01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:43,200 Speaker 1: going to keep my eye on them. I track them 2084 01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:47,080 Speaker 1: almost every day, so you will see what it looks 2085 01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:49,599 Speaker 1: like within the next month. And what I'm really hoping 2086 01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:51,320 Speaker 1: for is that we have a draft of some kind 2087 01:49:51,479 --> 01:49:53,479 Speaker 1: right that things are maybe a month from an hour 2088 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,679 Speaker 1: close to being back to normal. That would really be fun. Yeah, 2089 01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:58,960 Speaker 1: I would hope so too. I would love to have 2090 01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:01,320 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft in a month, and I would love 2091 01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:05,719 Speaker 1: in a month for the coronavirus to be going away 2092 01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:08,559 Speaker 1: and settling down and the curve to be flattened by 2093 01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:12,120 Speaker 1: that time.

The walls were magnetic back then, 2153 01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:32,759 Speaker 1: and I had the job of actually taking the names 2154 01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:35,519 Speaker 1: which were on magnets and moving them as people were 2155 01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:39,120 Speaker 1: being picked. But the really kind of cool thing for 2156 01:53:39,439 --> 01:53:42,320 Speaker 1: back then, what was I twenty two years old?

I was actually one 2166 01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:15,960 Speaker 1: of the only people invited into the Sammy Watkins draft. 2167 01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,680 Speaker 1: My son Jimmie and I actually were in that room. 2168 01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to be to hold it against me. 2169 01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:24,720 Speaker 1: I was gonna say about but but you don't know 2170 01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:28,280 Speaker 1: the funny part. So everybody, everybody knew the story of me, 2171 01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:31,200 Speaker 1: what I used to do picking the names off the walls. 2172 01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:36,200 Speaker 1: And when they made the trade for Sammy Watkins, I 2173 01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:39,280 Speaker 1: actually took his name off the wall in the draft room. 2174 01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:44,200 Speaker 1: Doug Way the one. Yeah, so well, I'll tell you 2175 01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:48,320 Speaker 1: that's a lot of water, a new bridge.

What's 2177 01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:55,080 Speaker 1: the latest can you can tell us about the update 2178 01:54:55,120 --> 01:54:58,280 Speaker 1: with the environment we're all living in? Well, thanks for 2179 01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:01,400 Speaker 1: having mean, I think it's really importan, you know, for 2180 01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:03,960 Speaker 1: all of us that we that we continue to do 2181 01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:07,080 Speaker 1: the things that we keep talking about and being compliant, 2182 01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:10,560 Speaker 1: and look at this is I've said this, and you 2183 01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:13,480 Speaker 1: see what's going on on TV and the updates with 2184 01:55:13,600 --> 01:55:16,560 Speaker 1: whether it's the county executive or the governor whomever. This 2185 01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:19,800 Speaker 1: is really serious. And so let me take it through 2186 01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:25,400 Speaker 1: what's really really important here. It's really critically important that 2187 01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:29,240 Speaker 1: we keep our healthcare workforce safe and healthy. They are 2188 01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:33,800 Speaker 1: more than willing, incredibly doubt dedicated. They're the best of 2189 01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:36,640 Speaker 1: the best. However, we got to keep them healthy to 2190 01:55:36,680 --> 01:55:39,880 Speaker 1: take care of us. So we haven't seen that major 2191 01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:43,240 Speaker 1: surge that you see in New York City. And guys, 2192 01:55:43,320 --> 01:55:46,280 Speaker 1: that's real. What's going on in New York City is real. 2193 01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:50,040 Speaker 1: It's dire. It's it's almost hard to believe. I'm on 2194 01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:53,280 Speaker 1: the phone at least a couple of times a day 2195 01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:57,600 Speaker 1: with colleagues from New York, fellow CEOs like and it's 2196 01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:01,160 Speaker 1: really troubling what's going on there. People are literally dying. 2197 01:56:02,120 --> 01:56:05,720 Speaker 1: So what can we do. We just all have to 2198 01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:07,480 Speaker 1: do our part. And that's why I was kind of 2199 01:56:07,560 --> 01:56:10,320 Speaker 1: one to come on today and do our part. Is 2200 01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,520 Speaker 1: all those things that you've been hearing about, which is 2201 01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:17,080 Speaker 1: social distancing washing your hands and just stay at home 2202 01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:20,280 Speaker 1: as you can and look and I got three teenage boys. 2203 01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:23,640 Speaker 1: I know how difficult this is for everybody, but the 2204 01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:27,480 Speaker 1: other if we don't do it, we will absolutely have 2205 01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:31,320 Speaker 1: this around for for months and months and months. If 2206 01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:35,800 Speaker 1: we do do it, we can mitigate it. I got 2207 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:37,720 Speaker 1: another thing too, tell us a little bit about maybe 2208 01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:41,560 Speaker 1: the supplies that you're running short of, or maybe some 2209 01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:44,280 Speaker 1: of the other things that are that there are problems 2210 01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:47,480 Speaker 1: right now that maybe we can get out ahead of. Yeah, 2211 01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:50,680 Speaker 1: and the communities. Thanks Steve. The community has been really 2212 01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:54,200 Speaker 1: generous with us, and that message is across. So so 2213 01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:56,120 Speaker 1: you got to think about this. This is really the 2214 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:58,880 Speaker 1: first time in mind memory that I could think of 2215 01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:01,440 Speaker 1: we're an entire nation and is searching for the same thing. 2216 01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,000 Speaker 1: And then you start to think about the whole globe 2217 01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:08,160 Speaker 1: is searching for masks, the right kind of masks, ventilators, 2218 01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:13,640 Speaker 1: protective gear, you here, ppe personal protective equipment. We're all 2219 01:57:13,720 --> 01:57:18,080 Speaker 1: searching for it. We're all running low. We seem to 2220 01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:21,120 Speaker 1: right now, we're we talk about Collida Health. Feel like 2221 01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:24,640 Speaker 1: we're in a decent spot right now. We need as 2222 01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:28,120 Speaker 1: much as we can get. We're working every angle lots 2223 01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:31,600 Speaker 1: of community partners have stepped up. But that's really going 2224 01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:35,000 Speaker 1: to give our community comfort and really more importantly, it's 2225 01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:37,600 Speaker 1: going to give our internal staff comfort. You know, we 2226 01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:41,840 Speaker 1: just went to universal masking, so everyone, every individual in 2227 01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:45,320 Speaker 1: our hospitals now has a mask on. So that gives 2228 01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:47,680 Speaker 1: them comfort, It gives them confidence that they can do 2229 01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:52,840 Speaker 1: what they do best with Jodan, CEO of Coalida Health. Hey, 2230 01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:55,200 Speaker 1: Jody Um, I've heard the governor say this a couple 2231 01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:57,400 Speaker 1: of days about how what is happening in New York 2232 01:57:57,760 --> 01:57:59,840 Speaker 1: New York City the surge in New York City is 2233 01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:03,080 Speaker 1: bound to happen around the country. Is that the case? 2234 01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:05,320 Speaker 1: I mean, can we anticipate that sort of impact here 2235 01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:08,160 Speaker 1: in Western New York? Would you think, well, well, here's 2236 01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,240 Speaker 1: the thing. He's really firing a warning shot, John and 2237 01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:14,360 Speaker 1: and and I think he's right. And I'll tell you 2238 01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:17,120 Speaker 1: why now. Now, if we do well, we see it 2239 01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:20,200 Speaker 1: at the absolute level that they are. I don't know that, 2240 01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:23,120 Speaker 1: hopefully not that the problem in New York. I mean 2241 01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:25,200 Speaker 1: you all know this, and the listeners know this. It's 2242 01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:28,480 Speaker 1: the density of New York. So I mean you're talking 2243 01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:30,840 Speaker 1: about mass transit, you're talking about people on top of 2244 01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:35,400 Speaker 1: people constantly, and so for us, as difficult as this 2245 01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:38,400 Speaker 1: is when you talk about social distancing, it is much 2246 01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:42,680 Speaker 1: easier here and and but they are getting overrun now, 2247 01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,960 Speaker 1: whether we see the wave or not. Now, our models 2248 01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:50,400 Speaker 1: talk about somewhere between the next fourteen to twenty one days, 2249 01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:53,440 Speaker 1: it could get really really hot and heavy here on 2250 01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:58,200 Speaker 1: this stuff. So we shall see. Here's the current situation. 2251 01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:01,400 Speaker 1: What we're seeing each and every day. We're seeing more 2252 01:59:01,480 --> 01:59:04,960 Speaker 1: come in. So I wouldn't say we're at a point 2253 01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:08,760 Speaker 1: where we're seeing so many that we're overrun, but at 2254 01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:12,040 Speaker 1: the pace we're on, you know, we're seeing more and more. 2255 01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:16,800 Speaker 1: So the trend isn't great. But I am concerned that 2256 01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,560 Speaker 1: if it does turn into a New York City situation, 2257 01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:25,240 Speaker 1: then yeah, we will be overrun as a healthcare system. Hey, Jolie, 2258 01:59:25,280 --> 01:59:27,600 Speaker 1: I read a story in New York Times last night 2259 01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:31,520 Speaker 1: this morning about a fairly sizeable hospital in Brooklyn, and 2260 01:59:31,520 --> 01:59:33,640 Speaker 1: it was just kind of a first person account from 2261 01:59:33,640 --> 01:59:36,680 Speaker 1: an employee there of several employees really like what it's 2262 01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,120 Speaker 1: like there, and it man, it's something like a war zone. 2263 01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:41,760 Speaker 1: How are your nurses and doctors and everybody else doing? 2264 01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,280 Speaker 1: How are they holding up under the strength. Yeah, so 2265 01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:47,920 Speaker 1: there you go. That that story, I know a story 2266 01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:51,880 Speaker 1: you're referring to. H that's it really is true, and 2267 01:59:52,040 --> 01:59:56,040 Speaker 1: so they're they're under incredible stress. One other stress that 2268 01:59:56,120 --> 02:00:00,200 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about is the staffing issue. So as 2269 02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:04,640 Speaker 1: more and more of the caregivers gets thick, the staffing 2270 02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:07,800 Speaker 1: levels and the pressure on individuals inside the hospital get 2271 02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:11,040 Speaker 1: more and more. So that's really true. So from a 2272 02:00:11,120 --> 02:00:15,440 Speaker 1: collider perspective in our facilities, yes, we've had employees who 2273 02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:18,240 Speaker 1: are positive. You know, the spread is throughout the community. 2274 02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:23,440 Speaker 1: They're they're nervous and naturally so. But but the really 2275 02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:25,560 Speaker 1: good thing about it, and the part that I keep 2276 02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:28,800 Speaker 1: hanging my head and all the praise goes to all 2277 02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:32,320 Speaker 1: of the nurses and physicians support staff, is they just 2278 02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:35,280 Speaker 1: want to take care of people, and so we just 2279 02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:37,720 Speaker 1: have to keep them healthy. I keep repeating myself, but 2280 02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,520 Speaker 1: it's just the truth. So morale is not what it 2281 02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:44,720 Speaker 1: is normally. But yeah, there is a sense of you know, 2282 02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:47,480 Speaker 1: we got this. There's a sense of confidence, but we 2283 02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:51,600 Speaker 1: just got to keep supporting them and keeping them healthy. Joey, 2284 02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:54,320 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you one thing too, is there anything 2285 02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:57,760 Speaker 1: can you give us, maybe a best case scenario for 2286 02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:00,640 Speaker 1: what we can see in the next week, week, ten days, 2287 02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:03,760 Speaker 1: and maybe a worst case if all this doesn't go well. 2288 02:01:03,840 --> 02:01:06,680 Speaker 1: What are the what are the range of possibilities of 2289 02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:09,560 Speaker 1: general public is looking at for the environment and how 2290 02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:12,520 Speaker 1: it will change from what it is today. Yeah, I 2291 02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:15,680 Speaker 1: think the worst case. Keep looking towards New York, keep 2292 02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:19,160 Speaker 1: looking at the hospitals getting busier and busier, in the 2293 02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:23,280 Speaker 1: ICU capacity going down, because that's what we're talking about here. 2294 02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:26,840 Speaker 1: We're talking about the sickest individuals. And when you look 2295 02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:29,080 Speaker 1: at the percentages and you start to talk about it, 2296 02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, whether fifty percent or forty percent of all 2297 02:01:32,760 --> 02:01:36,680 Speaker 1: of us get it, fifteen percent roughly would have to 2298 02:01:36,760 --> 02:01:40,560 Speaker 1: be hospitalized. That's what the kind of the rate is now. 2299 02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,760 Speaker 1: Of that fifteen percent, five percent would be an ICUs. 2300 02:01:45,800 --> 02:01:50,000 Speaker 1: And that's where it gets really, really kind of scary, 2301 02:01:50,120 --> 02:01:53,120 Speaker 1: because what we don't want to have is our ICU's 2302 02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:57,240 Speaker 1: packed with very, very sick people because as you all know, 2303 02:01:57,920 --> 02:01:59,920 Speaker 1: there's not a cure for this right now. There's no 2304 02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:03,120 Speaker 1: out a vaccine, there's not anything we can do. So 2305 02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:05,240 Speaker 1: that goes back to just kind of all of us 2306 02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:08,320 Speaker 1: playing our part on the best case scenario is you 2307 02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:12,320 Speaker 1: won't see that. We'll see what we're seeing now, which 2308 02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:16,040 Speaker 1: is manageable, and you'll see they keep talking about the 2309 02:02:16,200 --> 02:02:20,400 Speaker 1: curve being flattened or going down. That's what you'll start 2310 02:02:20,520 --> 02:02:24,080 Speaker 1: to see. And that's what we're hopeful for. But I mean, 2311 02:02:24,120 --> 02:02:27,840 Speaker 1: Steve's hope isn't a strategy. So what we're doing is 2312 02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:31,920 Speaker 1: we're preparing for the worst hoping for the best. That's 2313 02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:35,160 Speaker 1: what they used to say when he was coaching the Bills. 2314 02:02:35,200 --> 02:02:37,360 Speaker 1: Hope is not a strategy. I think, what was it? 2315 02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:39,920 Speaker 1: The sales out of my wind out of my sales 2316 02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:43,480 Speaker 1: or the sales. But hey, Jody, you know, been watching 2317 02:02:43,560 --> 02:02:45,520 Speaker 1: too much TV the last couple of weeks and the 2318 02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:48,320 Speaker 1: last week or so, I see you up on television 2319 02:02:48,360 --> 02:02:51,640 Speaker 1: and your message for the community at large is pretty simple, 2320 02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:55,080 Speaker 1: but really important, isn't it. That's it, and that you know, 2321 02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:57,920 Speaker 1: and we we made that decision, you know, about maybe 2322 02:02:57,960 --> 02:02:59,800 Speaker 1: a week to ten days ago that we just really 2323 02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:04,800 Speaker 1: to get out there preaching our own behaviors. So, guys, 2324 02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:08,000 Speaker 1: it's what we can control right now. We can't control 2325 02:03:08,200 --> 02:03:10,680 Speaker 1: what's going on in New York City. We can't control 2326 02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:12,760 Speaker 1: what's going on in the economy. For the most part. 2327 02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:15,960 Speaker 1: What we can't control is what we do each and 2328 02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:18,360 Speaker 1: every day. And people have said, well, what can I 2329 02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:20,480 Speaker 1: do to help? Well, what you can do to help 2330 02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:24,200 Speaker 1: is be compliant. Okay, So if we're all compliant and 2331 02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:27,240 Speaker 1: we're all doing this and it's believe me, I know 2332 02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:30,760 Speaker 1: I can't sit still, but it's it's tough, but we 2333 02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:32,680 Speaker 1: just have to do it. And if we do it, 2334 02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:34,960 Speaker 1: we'll get out of this thing. If we don't do it, 2335 02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:38,920 Speaker 1: it's going to be a long, long layrissi, Jody, thanks 2336 02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:40,680 Speaker 1: so much for coming and join us.

Then we do have a you know, like 2346 02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:09,080 Speaker 1: the governor said that we can go to school on 2347 02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:10,880 Speaker 1: how New York City has handled it if it is 2348 02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:13,320 Speaker 1: in fact gonna hit here as hard as it is 2349 02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:15,800 Speaker 1: hitting New York. Steve, that's that's yeah a plus sight, 2350 02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:17,680 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I guess it is a plus. I 2351 02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:21,520 Speaker 1: don't know if it's a warning or a plus or 2352 02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:24,040 Speaker 1: a minus. Um, you know, maybe it can. We can 2353 02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:27,520 Speaker 1: use it as a cautionary tale and it'll it'll motivate 2354 02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:31,120 Speaker 1: more of our of our listeners and us to be 2355 02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:34,120 Speaker 1: more diligent and what we're already doing. But man, oh man, 2356 02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:37,120 Speaker 1: it's uh, it is getting untenable in New York City 2357 02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:40,120 Speaker 1: and our uh we are you know.

Care, We're back. It's 2361 02:04:49,440 --> 02:05:05,720 Speaker 1: one Bills Life presented by Klaida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay, 2362 02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:08,200 Speaker 1: so what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, 2363 02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:11,480 Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company in the Buffalo Bills. 2364 02:05:11,560 --> 02:05:15,160 Speaker 1: Really good guest Today, Booker Edgerson, Longtime Bills, a defensive 2365 02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:18,360 Speaker 1: back Wall of Famer, remembered another Wall of Famer, Mike Stratton, 2366 02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:21,360 Speaker 1: who passed away Yesterday, Booker talked about Stratton early in 2367 02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:24,400 Speaker 1: his career with the Buffalo Bills. I came here in 2368 02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:28,600 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, right along with Mike and Tom Steak 2369 02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:33,800 Speaker 1: and Carl Sharon as a rookie, and Mike was a 2370 02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:36,760 Speaker 1: was an end. He was a receiver, but he wasn't 2371 02:05:36,960 --> 02:05:40,360 Speaker 1: fashion enough to compete at the other expu everything and 2372 02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:43,440 Speaker 1: to compete with huntil ste when turned him into a linebacker. 2373 02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:47,280 Speaker 1: And that's that's where his career started, and that's where 2374 02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:49,280 Speaker 1: it ended as a linebacker who was one of the 2375 02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:54,080 Speaker 1: greatest linebackers in the Buffalo Bills history. That's Booker Edgerson 2376 02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:57,320 Speaker 1: talking about his former late teammate Mike Stratton. Also, we 2377 02:05:57,400 --> 02:06:00,640 Speaker 1: had sets Wickersham on from ESPN. He wrote a really 2378 02:06:00,680 --> 02:06:03,880 Speaker 1: big story that posted on Monday about the process of 2379 02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady leaving the Patriots and Sets Workersham talked about 2380 02:06:07,520 --> 02:06:08,880 Speaker 1: it with us when he was on the show at 2381 02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:12,160 Speaker 1: one o'clock. Did it. Yes, there's been you know, slights 2382 02:06:12,200 --> 02:06:15,280 Speaker 1: over the years. You know, you think about the Dion 2383 02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Branch trade that Brady didn't like. You think about the 2384 02:06:17,840 --> 02:06:20,120 Speaker 1: way the team handled the flake gate that Brady didn't like. 2385 02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:24,400 Speaker 1: You think about the way that you know Belichick handled 2386 02:06:25,480 --> 02:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the role of Tom's trainer when he curtailed his access 2387 02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:31,920 Speaker 1: in the fall of twenty seventeen. But at the end 2388 02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:35,080 Speaker 1: of the day, I think that the issues at the 2389 02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:38,320 Speaker 1: fall of twenty seventeen, the main issue was the same 2390 02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:41,960 Speaker 1: issue that was going on today, and that was Tom 2391 02:06:42,040 --> 02:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Brady's desire to play until his mid forties and wanting 2392 02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:48,280 Speaker 1: a contract extension that reflected a commitment to allow him 2393 02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:51,640 Speaker 1: to do that. And the Patriots back to twenty seventeen, 2394 02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:53,760 Speaker 1: We're only willing to go to year to year, and 2395 02:06:53,880 --> 02:06:56,520 Speaker 1: that's why we are where we are. Interesting. What do 2396 02:06:56,560 --> 02:06:58,320 Speaker 1: you think, Steve too much Tom Brady talk on the 2397 02:06:58,360 --> 02:07:01,680 Speaker 1: show today? It's going because he's going out of conference, 2398 02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:04,000 Speaker 1: out of division. I hope, I hope he lives a 2399 02:07:04,040 --> 02:07:09,160 Speaker 1: long and prosperous life away from the eighthees. Hey our 2400 02:07:09,200 --> 02:07:12,160 Speaker 1: twitterfol today, who would lead Who's gonna lead the bills 2401 02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:15,680 Speaker 1: and receptions in twenty twenty and why? Pretty good discussion 2402 02:07:15,720 --> 02:07:18,520 Speaker 1: about this. Sixty two percent of our respondents say it's 2403 02:07:18,560 --> 02:07:21,720 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, eighteen percent say John Brown, and eighteen percent 2404 02:07:21,800 --> 02:07:24,560 Speaker 1: say Cole Beasley. Now, last year, as I said, John 2405 02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:27,480 Speaker 1: Brown had seventy two catches. Cole Beasley had sixty seven, 2406 02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs at sixty three. All I'm saying is, Steve, Yeah, 2407 02:07:31,320 --> 02:07:33,560 Speaker 1: I think you agree. Stefan Diggs might be the most 2408 02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:36,360 Speaker 1: important receiver on the Bills roster and not lead the 2409 02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:39,200 Speaker 1: team in receptions this year. Yeah, he's certainly gonna have 2410 02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:42,120 Speaker 1: an impact because I think he goes. If you're trying 2411 02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:45,200 Speaker 1: to defend the Buffalo offense, I think it starts with 2412 02:07:45,440 --> 02:07:49,240 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs apart from Josh Allen, and that means John 2413 02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:53,040 Speaker 1: Brown's gonna see a lot less too high safety. He's 2414 02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:55,440 Speaker 1: gonna see a lot less double teams, and the same 2415 02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:58,200 Speaker 1: with Cole Beasley, and I think that spells good things 2416 02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:02,840 Speaker 1: for those We got to get a lot of open 2417 02:08:02,960 --> 02:08:06,600 Speaker 1: looks for Josh Allen. Hopefully that'll translate into more completions, 2418 02:08:06,720 --> 02:08:10,120 Speaker 1: more offensive production, and certainly hopefully more points on the scoreboard. 2419 02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Tomorrow Friday, We've got our normal Friday guest, Greg Cosell 2420 02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:16,040 Speaker 1: and Steve Weisch of NFL Networks going to join us. 2421 02:08:16,040 --> 02:08:17,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's good about all of our technical screw 2422 02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:20,240 Speaker 1: up today, Steve. It keeps us honest. You know, we 2423 02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:23,480 Speaker 1: can't take it for granted. We were cruising. We were 2424 02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:25,960 Speaker 1: cruising for about a week or more doing these shows, 2425 02:08:26,040 --> 02:08:28,600 Speaker 1: and it all sort of fell apart about the twelve 2426 02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,280 Speaker 1: thirty one o'clock I apologize with that. Nah, well we 2427 02:08:31,440 --> 02:08:35,800 Speaker 1: we couldn't get on Skype today. We couldn't, so I 2428 02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, we Yeah, we had to do it. We 2429 02:08:38,560 --> 02:08:41,120 Speaker 1: were down to strings and cans, as Jake Harris said, 2430 02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:44,280 Speaker 1: if we were one step aboves leaning out the window 2431 02:08:44,320 --> 02:08:46,400 Speaker 1: and shouting back and forth for all to hear. So 2432 02:08:47,160 --> 02:08:50,600 Speaker 1: we're glad Jake, Jake Harris doing once again doing yeoman's 2433 02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:53,200 Speaker 1: work getting us on the air and making the best 2434 02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:55,640 Speaker 1: of it.
