Speaker 1: different companies that are involved in it, it's I don't

87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: want to say it's always the same list, but it's

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: nice to see that it's pretty consistent, you know. It's

89
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,359

Speaker 2: And Jamie McDermott, like we mentioned, you get you know,

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: the Sabers and Bills are obviously neck deep in this and.

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: One Buffalo theF and that's where it starts, right, I mean,

97
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: because you know you mentioned Sean and Jamie. I mean,

98
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Sean's all about being the leader, and when these type

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: of things happen, you have to have that kind of leader,

100
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: and you know, you lead from the front, right he does.

101
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: It, and he certainly does and you're right that the

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: website couldn't be easier. I mean, it's presto changer. You

103
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: can get like you know, obviously you can give seven

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: dollars and sixteen cents. It means a difference. It's awesome

105
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: and a ton of people do just exactly that. There's

106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: T shirts like we're wearing the T shirts. You can

107
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: get autographed paraphernalia from both the Sabers and the Bills

108
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: for making certain donations, and these power hours that are

109
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: coming up throughout the day are really gonna make a different.

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun and it's I love it. A

111
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: seven one sixth day. You know, the seven one six

112
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: area code and all the people and the Bills fans.

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: It's just one more way that you know, there's a

114
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: lot in it. There's a lot in this Bills, Sabers,

115
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: Buffalo and their fans and the seven to one sixth

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: thing and the way Bill's and I've said this along

117
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: you notice it too. It's a unifying thing. I think

118
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: more so than anything are the community is rallies around

119
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: the teams and the seven one six in each other

120
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 2: like no other fan base.

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's community. That's the word that you used. I mean,

122
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what it is. And a lot of the

123
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: success of this, a lot of it has to do

124
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: with how involved the Bills and the Sabers are in

125
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: the community, because it doesn't work if it's not that

126
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: joint venture and it's not hand in hand, it just

127
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: doesn't work the way it does.

128
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: Right, So we're gotting this seven one sixth day, which

129
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: means we're about we are exactly ten days away from

130
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: training camp for the Bills starting. Yes, say, you know,

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: Billy's to act. He's one of the two people in

132
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 2: the planet that are excited about training camp, right because

133
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: nobody here, the players, now, the coach maybe, Okay, now

134
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: that's not true. Everybody's kind of excited about it. Going

135
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: back to Saint John Fisher, it's gonna be great. They're

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: only there for two and a half weeks, and you know,

137
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: it's I think it's a really see you and I

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: were talking before we went on the air. It's a

139
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: real signal as to how the league has evolved. I mean,

140
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: when I first came into the league, it was a

141
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: five or six week training camp, two practices every day

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks. Preseason game, preseason game, preseason game,

143
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: preseason game four of them, and then you know, and

144
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: that was two weeks before that. So it's like this

145
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: took forever. It really took forever, and there was only

146
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: when I got in the league was the first year,

147
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: I believe where they can only have like eighty five

148
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: or ninety guys in camp. It used to be it

149
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: was like one hundred and twenty guys. They brought in everybody,

150
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: and now it's it's from then till now, it's evolved changed.

151
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: The rosters have gotten slightly bigger, training camp rosters have

152
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: gotten slightly smaller, camps have gotten shorter, they've gotten less intense,

153
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: less physical, and amazingly, having said that, the game is

154
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: actually better in my opinion, Oh, I.

155
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. I think it's you get through the

156
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: first three days of practice they go Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

157
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: off day, Saturday, Sunday. You through that first weekend, and

158
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, well there's only seven

159
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: more practice.

160
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: They can't even put pads on for those first you know,

161
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: three or four practices or five practice I can't remember

162
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: what it is like a week you can't put on pads.

163
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: Then they finally do, and then that's the next step,

164
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: and then they're playing games, you know, and there's only three.

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Well, one of the things that we learned from COVID

166
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to tying in with sports was, you know,

167
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: COVID happened, and you know, there was no Billy got booty,

168
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: he got baloced, he got a lot of.

169
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: People want to talk to Billy.

170
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: The you know, there was no training camp you know

171
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: during COVID and everything, and then the product on the field.

172
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: You looked at it and went, well, did it really change?

173
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: Did it really impacted a whole lot? And I think

174
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: the answer was not really. I mean the guys were

175
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: still superstars out there and doing their thing.

176
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the reason. It's difference. And I hate to say,

177
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to be cynical. It's the money. And

178
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: it changed when I was when I started playing. The

179
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: old guys when I first came in the league, the

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: old guys leaving were like, Wow, you're awesome, man. You

181
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: guys are really making a lot of cash now, you know, right,

182
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: it's never changed. And then when I you know, when

183
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: the old guys left when I was playing, they were like, wow,

184
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: you guys are really starting to make money. Then when

185
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: I left, the old guys like, wow, you guys are

186
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: it's still got the money's going up but and you

187
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: can laugh. But the difference is this, these guys are

188
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: incentivized by by their career to get be ready when

189
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: they show up. They're pro athletes. They wasn't that way

190
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: when I first came in the league. I was playing

191
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: with the older guys on rosters. I was a professional

192
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: athlete from the time I got drafted. I didn't do

193
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: anything else, didn't have an off season job, didn't have

194
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: a second thing I was doing. I I was working

195
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: to be a better football player year round. But I

196
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: was kind of one of the first generation guys to

197
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: do that. Now everybody does. And so training camp isn't

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: about training getting into shape. You show up in shape,

199
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: ready to play. So they don't really, you know, you

200
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: don't need to come in and spend four weeks of

201
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: like like like in the military getting you spend you know,

202
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: eight or ten weeks getting in shape. These guys are

203
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: in shape year round, most of them, and really what

204
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: they need to do is just heal up and once

205
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: they do that, they're ready to go again. And so

206
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: this training camp, we were just saying it's only they're

207
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: only over there for two two and a half weeks.

208
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: That's all you need.

209
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Like, these guys have professional chefs that are making sure

210
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: that they're eating the right stuff, they have nutrition the team,

211
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: The teams help them too. Yeah. I mean, so to

212
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: your point, they're not showing up needing to get into shape.

213
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: They're already in shape. They're showing up to just fine

214
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: tune things and you know, get basically back in the playbook.

215
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: I would think Steve Task, along with Josh Reed, WIVV

216
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: WIVB TV sports directors, thanks for coming in and coasting

217
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: with me today seven to one, six day. We're here

218
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: until three o'clock. We're got a lot of stuff going

219
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: on around the league over the weekend. I know you

220
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: heard this. The DeAndre Hopkins saga came to a close

221
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: for this offseason. He signed with the Tennessee Titans, as

222
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: reportedly a two year, twenty six million dollar deal. Twelve

223
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: million of the first year is guaranteed, and the next

224
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: year he could get set fifteen million plus incentives to

225
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: make it even higher than that. Once you heard that

226
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: two year, twenty six million dollar deal, you understood why

227
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and Bills were like, I had no shot anyway.

228
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they I wasn't so sure they had

229
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: much of a shot even before I heard the number.

230
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: I think most of the two teams that you kind

231
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: of heard surrounding them, especially lately were the Titans and

232
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots to me, you know, when he became a

233
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: free agent officially, and you know, you saw stuff on

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: social media and it was him really kind of pushing

235
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: the narrative of I've made my money, I've got my stats,

236
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: I need to win a ring. I want to make

237
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: a deep playoff push. Well, I mean if the Titans

238
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: are where you choose to go to make your deep

239
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: playoff push, well, here's.

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: The thing too, and I get a lot. He's probably true.

241
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: He probably was saying that in a genuine fashion. You know,

242
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: as a former player, I know that you'd love to

243
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: win and stuff. That's before you know any of the numbers.

244
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna make you make a twelve million

245
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: dollar from ninety nine point nine percent of the people

246
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: in America, that's life changing. Sure, that's life changing, But

247
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: is it life changing for him?

248
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: He's already made so much.

249
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: No, But it would be almost irresponsible to take a

250
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: deal like for three or four million, which is what

251
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 2: you're talking about for these other teams. You're talking two

252
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: or three million from the bills, for three or four

253
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: million from the Chiefs or thereabouts. You're talking twelve million

254
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: bucks right out of the gate with a chance at

255
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: fifteen after that. You can't responsibly say no to that.

256
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Give me some insight on this. How how much sway

257
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: does the Players Association have when it comes to stuff

258
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: like that? When when when they're because they you know,

259
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: they've got a guy, they've got one of the union.

260
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: You know, they're probably not going, yeah, sure, take the deal,

261
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, go go chase the ring. I would think

262
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: that they would go, no, you go get money, go

263
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: take the money.

264
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the Union doesn't have any DeAndre Hopkins not

265
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: talking to anybody at the NFLPA about which deal you

266
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: gonna take?

267
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so none the.

268
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: Union, the NFL Association, the Players Association is sitting there

269
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: waiting for him to make a decision. Then then moving

270
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: from that, yeah right, saying yeah, it's it's a guy

271
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: he's in ten years and DeAndre Hopkins, I mean he's

272
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: he's got eight hundred and fifty three career receptions, eleven

273
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: hundred and almost twelve thousand yards, eight fifty three receptions,

274
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: twelve thousand close to yard, and seventy one touchdowns. He

275
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: missed a total of two games his entire career up

276
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: till the first eight years of his career. In the

277
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: last two years, he's missed fifteen games. Last year he had,

278
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 2: you know, obviously missed six games or seven games this year.

279
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: Last year, the first six games he was out with

280
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: a suspension. But he ended the season with sixty four

281
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: receptions and seven hundred and seventeen yards. He was headed

282
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: towards a pretty good year even with Kyler Murray being

283
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: out of the lineup down there, So he came in

284
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: and helped them, even though he kind of pulled the

285
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: ripcord at the end of the season, didn't play in

286
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: that last game. That's a guy that really made a

287
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: difference for that team. But he has been in and

288
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: out that he has been in a lineup for the

289
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: last two years with injuries, and like you said, many

290
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: people thought the Patriot's going to be a logical landing

291
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: spot for him, But twenty six million dollar Patriots ain't

292
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: paying him twenty six million dollars, No and I don't know.

293
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: The two years, I don't know. I mean, does he

294
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: make the Titans that much better? Obviously he makes them better.

295
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Does he push them past Jacksonville? I don't think so.

296
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, when you look at that division here,

297
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: here's you know, the upside for that choice for him,

298
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: and thinking postseason is that division is not good, right,

299
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's good, and then it's the Red you know. But

300
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that he makes Tennessee well.

301
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: Tennessee's got Traylon Burks as well, they've got Kyle Phillips,

302
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: both two young guys. D Hop. I don't know if

303
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: there's a t in a vacuum for one season. I

304
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: don't know that there's too many teams in the league

305
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: that would take Traylon Burks over d Hop. Although Traylon

306
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Burks is probably at this point a better athlete than

307
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: he is and maybe maybe as good receiver. But d Hop,

308
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: if you throw it to him, he's catching it. The

309
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: guy's got a he's a vacuum cleaner, and he's got

310
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: an enormous catch radius. He's gonna make some catches nobody

311
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: else does. And so I think he there's no question

312
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: he's going to make him better when he's healthy and

313
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: in the lineup, that guy makes him better.

314
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: Can they get him the ball consistently?

315
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: Well, Ryan Tannehill, Yeah, I'm Elie Willis. I don't know,

316
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: you know, don't jumping up. Yeah, we'll see Tannehill can

317
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: sling it. I mean he the guys. The guy's got

318
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: an arm. He's a good athlete, he's all that. You know,

319
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: he's all that. And he's and he's got a veteran

320
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: mine now too after playing so long. But and de

321
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: Hop is going to help that team. But you know,

322
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel doesn't seem like the kind of head coach

323
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: who's going to tolerate a wide receiver doesn't want to practice.

324
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: And that's been de Hop's reputation up to this point.

325
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: Maybe that'll change at the end of his career.

326
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: But they drafted Levis. The quarterback.

327
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: They drafted Will levs Is. Will Lev's gonna beat out.

328
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I don't mean, I don't think so, there's

329
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: no way, but I mean that way. I just don't

330
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know.

331
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: De Hop makes them better. He does not put him

332
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: over the time, I don't think so. He doesn't put

333
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: him over the top. So we'll have to wait and

334
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: see Derrick Henry sooner or later is going to turn

335
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: into a human being. And yeah, he's gonna be in

336
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: his mid thirties as a running back and that's not

337
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: a good place to be. He hasn't been there yet.

338
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: He's pretty good, still, very good still, but at some

339
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: point that will happen. When it does, is gonna happen fast.

340
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: So we'll see. Tennessee had a ways to go there,

341
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: you know. There the expectations are low. That's one thing

342
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 2: d hop could raise that it does certainly does give

343
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: him some buzz to sell tickets and that kind of thing.

344
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: We'll have to see. And that is kind of where

345
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 2: our our Twitter question of the day comes from today.

346
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: The question we put to our listeners is, now that

347
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins is off the table for the Bills, how

348
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: do you feel about Buffalo's wide receiver group headed into

349
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: the season. We've got a ton of people chiming in

350
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: on that. We'll get to those later in the show,

351
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: but you know, for right now, the de hop thing

352
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 2: I kind of was to me the longer it went,

353
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: actually the longer win I was thinking, well, you know,

354
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: one of these other teams you know, the Bills or

355
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: the Chiefs or you know, the Chargers, were you know,

356
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: sneak into the conversation. All of a sudden, they sign

357
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: him because there were no offers or the offers dried

358
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 2: up and he had to go. He wanted to play somewhere.

359
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: He's not going to take a year off. But you know,

360
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: obviously when you signed that kind of deal, Titans wanted

361
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: him pretty badly.

362
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I was never sold on the idea of

363
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: him coming to Buffalo. I just didn't think. I think

364
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: we've seen this happen in the past where you don't

365
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: have to go back that far. JJ Watt remember when

366
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: he was you know, that name was being one that

367
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: was thrown around. And he was also one of those

368
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: guys that said, I've I've made my money, I have

369
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: my stats. It's all about winning a championship, right, And

370
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: you know the money wasn't there for teams like the

371
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: Bills and the true contenders. But he circled back at

372
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: the end of the day and took the paycheck, right.

373
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't blame Look, I don't blame these

374
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: guys for taking the paycheck. I'm just saying that it's

375
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to hear them constantly. The superstar

376
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: free agents go, look, it's all about winning championships now

377
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: in my career. Oh that it's later, and then go

378
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: and then at the end it's still you follow the

379
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: dollar bill and that's where you're gonna find answer. It's rhetoric, yep.

380
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 2: It is also in the in news NFL News and

381
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 2: notes his Steve Taske along with Josh Reed. Here, Tyreek

382
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: Hill says he's going to get a two thousand yards

383
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: this year. He's got a chance at it. If you

384
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: don't believe him, just at If you don't believe me,

385
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: just ask him. He's he'll tell you. He said it's

386
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: on his getting two thousand yards on his bucket list

387
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: to get before he leaves the league. Two thousand yards

388
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: and another super Bowl we get in that. Believe that.

389
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: As a quote from tyreeg who's attributed to him. He

390
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: was on pace. Let me tell you something. People can

391
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: call him crazy, but he was on pace for that

392
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: last year through nine Remember that through nine games last

393
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: year he had eleven hundred and four yards. And then

394
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Tua gets hurt and the other quarterback gets hurt into

395
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: he had one hundred and nineteen receptions for seventeen hundred

396
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: and ten and folks, you know what, that's a monster

397
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: of a year. And with two of being in and

398
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: out of the lineup, that takes a lot of starts

399
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: out of his ability to kind of stretch that season

400
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: into what it could have been. Jayleen Waddle, Braxton Barrios

401
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: or the other two wide receivers in his in his room.

402
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: And that to me, the Dolphins are a team that

403
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: are fully on board. They feel like they've got to

404
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 2: win now, and they are fully on board with what

405
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: we call the arms race in the AFC. They they

406
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: got to score points to beat people because their defense,

407
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 2: despite the addition of Jalen Ramsey, their defense has not

408
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: been good enough to win games for him.

409
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: The extra game, you know that they added a couple

410
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: of years ago, that two thousand number changes a little bit.

411
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's not still a huge number. It's

412
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: still still a huge number, but it's not quite what

413
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: it was because there's an extra game now that you

414
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: have a good point. Work with point. But I just

415
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: think that I don't know, seventeen hundred yards is to

416
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: your point, it is such a huge number and to

417
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: think that he's still two ninety away. I don't know.

418
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: And and he's you know, he's saying, look two is

419
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup, and I still got

420
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: to seventeen hundred. Okay, you sure he's still not going

421
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: to be in and out of the lineup? I mean,

422
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: what leads you to believe that he's still not going

423
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: to at the in and out too?

424
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: Two of them may struggle to stay healthy again this year,

425
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 2: but nobody knows quite quite what. If it was an

426
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: ankle for two, it nobody'd give it a second thought.

427
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: They think, yeah, he's gonna do it. But concussions tend

428
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: to have a connotation about nobody, their unpredictability, and people

429
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: just turned as confidences of a guy to being able

430
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: to stay away from that injury as they are an

431
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: ankle or a knee or a shoulder or what have you.

432
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: And he's playing six games in this division with against

433
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: two of them against the healthy Tradavious White, now two

434
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: of them against Sauce Gardner, who if he's not the best,

435
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: he's he's getting he's getting there. And the Patriots have

436
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: a good defensive backfield. So and drafted a ton of

437
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: defensive players. So that's that's a big junk of your schedule,

438
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: going up against some elite defensive backs.

439
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: But though, you know, I think, yeah, Tyreek has never

440
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: been shy about putting it out there, and that's why

441
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: he's good.

442
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: Again.

443
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's not the only reason he's good,

444
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: but nothing.

445
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: He knows he's good.

446
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he really does, and and and he acts like it. Also.

447
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: One of the other things around the NFL, the The

448
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: Athletic did a survey of NFL executives, NFL coaches, and

449
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: NFL scouts. They came up with the top ten quarterback list,

450
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: and as you would imagine, Josh is in the top three,

451
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: like he always is with Mahomes and Joe Burrow. It

452
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: goes Mahomes, Joe Burrow, then Josh and then it gets

453
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: a little surprised after that, because you know, once you

454
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: get down, you know, we start having these conversations. It

455
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: goes Aaron Rodgers at four, Justin Herbert at five, Jalen

456
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: Hurts at six, Lamar Jackson at seven, Trevor law Lwrence

457
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: at eight, Dak Prescott at nine, Matt Stafford at ten.

458
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: The first NFC quarterbacks Jalen Hurts at number six, and

459
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: then Dak Prescott and Matt Stafford round out the last

460
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: the top ten. But I think Aaron Rodgers being number

461
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: four might be a little bit of a recency bias

462
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 2: about just, you know, him making a bigger difference on

463
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: a jet team that seemed to be an Aaron Rodgers

464
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: away from being a super Bowl contender last year.

465
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that he's number four on that list

466
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: almost makes me go, all right, this list isn't hit right,

467
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: throw it out right. I mean, to me, putting him

468
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: ahead of Herbert and Hurts is just insane.

469
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I'd put Trevor Lawrence in there too.

470
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is a guy. I mean, he got jack

471
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: last year. He made that step, he made a step,

472
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 2: and he's got it. This is third year two, So

473
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: you're right, there's a handful of guys that are there

474
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers. Now, certainly Aaron's has proven more, but

475
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: he's also lost more being a sixteen year guy. But

476
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: I love these these lists because you know you can

477
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: trans you know, transpose two guys, you know, like four

478
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: goes to five, five goes to four or whatever. Jalen

479
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: Hurts gets into this conversation because of the great team

480
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 2: he's on in my opinion, good quarterback, no question. And

481
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: he's young too, is upside is huge. But if you

482
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: talk to people and go back and listen to the

483
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: rhetoric coming in and around the playoffs last year with Philly,

484
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: their team was awesome, and you almost get the question,

485
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: can you almost get the idea that there's like nine

486
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who could have taken that team to the super

487
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: Bowl last year?

488
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, any on that list, the top ten that you

489
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: just said would have.

490
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: Would have would have taken I don't know that you

491
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: can make the same argument for some of the other guys.

492
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: Certainly those Now most of these guys could play anywhere,

493
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 2: of course, but any of these ten could and maybe

494
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 2: the ten after them could have gotten Filly to the court.

495
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: That's the idea, though, I'm you can debate that all day,

496
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: but that's the perception I had of Jalen Hurts. But

497
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 2: yet they've got him number six in the NFL.

498
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: Here, the NFL wants Aaron Rodgers to be so they

499
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: they are just they want him to be good in

500
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: such a bad way. I mean, they are just they

501
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: they need they want him to be good. And here's

502
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: the thing. It's on the other side of the coin.

503
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: They want him to be really, really good and prominent

504
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: and dominant again, or they wanted to just burn right,

505
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: there's no, they don't want to. They don't want it

506
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: to be a nine win Jets team or a ten

507
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: win Jets team. They want it to be a fifteen

508
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: win Jets team or two or fifteen lost Jets team.

509
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: Because either way, you've got a heck of a storyline

510
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: if it's one of those two things.

511
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker, Josh, we're gonna take a break here. After

565
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: can't see the hat, those hats are really nice. We

566
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: were looking at break coming in we both Steve and

567
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: I both went, I wonder if that that gets left behind.

568
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Steve and I might have to wrestle for that hat.

569
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: That's a slick.

570
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: Well, she's the thing because you always see it's one

571
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: of those hats to somebodys you, hey, where where'd you

572
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: get that? Where'd you get that? Because there's one of

573
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: a kind, right, they make them for a special thing

574
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: and it Yeah, it's awesome.

575
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: And quite honestly, this was initially a T shirt design.

576
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: We had all these different really.

577
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: Design ideas and we thought, you know what that looks.

578
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: That looks like a really cool hat idea. So we've

579
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: pitched it to New Era to say, hey, could you

580
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: make up some hats for Give seven one and six

581
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: than they did, and so we create a power hour

582
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: specifically around that. So that's a real new addition to

583
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: give seven one to six this year.

584
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got that going on and like you

585
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: said throughout the day, and even Wegmans is you've during

586
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: this hour right now, it's a twelve five hundred dollars

587
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: matching hour and they're going to do the exact same

00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: thing at eight pm tonight. They're gonna come back online.

589
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,040

00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: this like Jamie and Sean.

591
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: And Wegmans was one of the first ones to start.

592
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: We've got you know, a lot of our corporate partners

593
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: have joined in alongside us to support Give seven one

594
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: to six and really leverage the donations of our fans

595
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: to support these local charities. So those are going directly

596
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: to those charities, you know, so you pick out your

00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: We're hoping, you know, we're hoping to match or ex

613
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: seed last year's at one point one million dollars raised

614
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: last year, the same amount the first year. We've seen

615
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 3: time and time again Western New York come out and

616
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: Bills and Sabers fans alike come out for the charities

617
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: that means so much to our community. We feel that

618
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: we have a really unique fan base that is really

619
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: about giving. So we started this during COVID when all

620
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 3: those fundraisers were shut down, you know, all these events

621
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: we weren't doing in person events, and we thought, how

622
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: can we help them? And we saw Bills Mafia, you know,

623
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: come together so many times around a different cause, and

624
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: we thought, can we kind of recreate that here? So

625
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: the Bills and the Sabers foundations that we put our

626
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: money together, the Bills and Sabers budgets, you know, we

627
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 3: came together to buy the T shirts and pay for

628
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: a lot of the expenses here to really provide a

629
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: platform for any charity in Western New York to participate.

630
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: And we really have seen them come out. I know,

631
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: if you guys are like me, I've gotten emails from

632
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: any charity that I've ever worked with from Western New York.

633
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: It's awesome and it's it's always a good idea to

634
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: attach yourself to something bigger and better. I mean, like

635
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: the Sabers and Bills coming together to do it. I

636
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: mean both of them are huge here in the city anyway.

637
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: But to join forces like this and to you know,

638
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: get these household names in Western New York as well,

639
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 2: like Wifeman's and high Mark and stuff, it's pretty good. Cool.

640
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: Yes, we've seen that time and time again. One thing

641
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 4: I do want to mention.

642
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: That doesn't get as much publicity as those power hours.

643
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 4: From every hour from now through.

644
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: Six am, the Bills and the Sabers Foundations are giving

645
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: three five hundred dollars grants every hour to any charity

646
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: well to charities that receive twenty five dollars or more

647
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: in that hour. So any charity that receives twenty five

648
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: dollars a twenty five dollars donation or more during a

649
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: particular hour is going to be entered into a drawing,

650
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: and every hour we pick three of them. It's completely random,

651
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: so if anyone's up at midnight, one am, two am.

652
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 4: Those are not going to be as popular an hours.

653
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: So if you donate twenty five dollars, that charity that

654
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: you donate to has a better chance of earning that

655
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: five dollars ran one of the three every hour three awesome.

656
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: So it's totally random.

657
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 3: But we you know, encourage people to go on the

658
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: website find a charity that's maybe by you know, with

659
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: a cause that is important to them or from a

660
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: town you know in their hometown. You can search them

661
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: and find and we encourage at all hours, especially those

662
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: over night hours.

663
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: To over five hundred charities. I think that's such a

664
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: big thing with this. It's not going to two or

665
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: three charities. I mean, if there's a cause that you

666
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: have a strong feeling for, you can find it on

667
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: the list of over five hundred. It's and right now

668
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: looks like the total raise is almost at six hundred

669
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: and fifty eight thousand dollars. So you know, you said

670
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: the goal was kind of to get to that one

671
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: point one mark or exceed it. You know, obviously that'd

672
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: be the goal. But it's we're getting there, getting there

673
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: slowly but surely.

674
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: So we've got a packed afternoon, so we're hoping that

675
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: with all of these matches coming up that we should

676
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: be able to get to.

677
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: Well, we're certainly. We've certainly got people listen to us.

678
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: I hear it everywhere we go. You know, I listened

679
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: to Sherivy. If you're listening, you know, kick in seven

680
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: dollars and sixteen cents or so, and and it'd be great, right, great.

681
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: Right, and pick out your favorite one, you know, do

682
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 3: five charities that are seven sixteen in your town or

683
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: cause that's important to you.

684
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: The creativity of finding different ways for people to give

685
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: has been phenomenal. Like and like Josh said, when you

686
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: go on the website, it's absolutely dumb. I mean I

687
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: figured out how to do it, right. I mean, pick

688
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: your pick a donation or pick a charity, donate whatever

689
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: you want. And the incentives are there, you know, there's

690
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: T shirts, hats, all that stuff, and and of course,

691
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: like always, the more you give the better that the

692
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: better the deal is.

693
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: You know right right and for and for us, we

694
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 3: we we don't care where anyone donates. We just want,

695
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: we really hope encouraging everyone just to donate to someone

696
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: somewhere from Bills fans near and wide, you know right

697
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: here in Western New York, or or those you know

698
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 3: that are living in other cities here coming around together

699
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: for the gift set for seven to one sex right.

700
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: It has been my observation. We've talked about it on

701
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: the Earth Brownie and I and Josh you've noticed this

702
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: as well. One of the things that is set Western

703
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: New York and particularly Bills fans apart, is is there

704
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: charitable aspect of what they do, even to other teams

705
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: and the Andy Dalton gifts from years ago or started it,

706
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: and and it has become part of who they are

707
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: of giving to charities and things that have touched them,

708
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 2: not just from Bills players, but also to Bill's opponents

709
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: and the NFL at large. Is finding a way to

710
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 2: participate and being generous. It's one of the things that

711
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: sets this fan base apart. The other thing that sets

712
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: them apart is their affection for each other. It's one

713
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: thing to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan or a Cowboys fan, whatever,

714
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: But if you're a Bills fan, you're part of a

715
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: family and that's that mafia means family kind of slogan.

716
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: Is really there's something to that. This seven to one

717
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: sixth day typifies that to a degree that is I

718
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: think really obvious.

719
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 4: It's a measieable way.

720
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 3: I mean, you can see we can see the number

721
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 3: of donations pouring in since the website opened yesterday, and

722
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 3: we see that constantly, you know, time and time again,

723
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 3: Bills fans coming out for the their community. And you're right,

724
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: it is synonymous. You know, Bills fans are synonymous with

725
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: giving and they do that and our charities really feel

726
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 3: the love.

727
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: You know.

728
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: It's it's a great way for our teams to work

729
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 3: with so many organizations. You know, it's a blessing that

730
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: we've had to be able to have all of these webinars,

731
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: to work with so many over five hundred charities. You know,

732
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 3: oftentimes we all have our focus areas and this gives

733
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: us an opportunity to stretch that and anyone that's you know,

734
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: that's doing some good for Western New York. If you

735
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: are a you know five oh one C three charity

736
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: and good standing with the irs come off, you know,

737
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: if you're providing services right, you know, please, you know,

738
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 3: join us with this. So it's a really neat way

739
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: to bring this community together like we've never done, you

740
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: know before before this.

741
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 2: Existed, I mean, before we break here seven one six

742
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: give seven one six T shirts. There's available to get

743
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: three thousand available, twenty almost twenty five hundred and we're gone.

744
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 2: So if you give seventy one dollars and six cents,

745
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 2: you can get one of these T shirts. Doesn't matter

746
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: what charity you give it to, doesn't just if you

747
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: give that much, you're gonna get a chance you'll get

748

784
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,200

00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: you work has something going on or whatever, you know, company,

786
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: picnic or well you name it one of the things,

787
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: and and it's kind of like a work day or

788
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 2: volunteer day. A lot of companies do that. You can

789
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: tell when it when they're doing it and when they

790
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: really mean it. And at one Bill's Drive, they really

791
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: mean it. With seven one six days, the organization it

792
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: is fully bait.

793
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: They are it is everybody all the way out there.

794
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: And then it happens.

795
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 2: From the top down from Kim and Terry all the

796
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: way down through Sean and Brandon. I mean they are

797
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: fully on board with Sean and Jamie his wife, are

798
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: matching funds this next hour, starting at two o'clock. They're

799
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: coming up with twenty thousand dollars for you know, to

800
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: match the donations that come in during that for all

801
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: the the gifts and stuff that you know, Bills fans

802
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: or Savers fans or any fans. They're Sean McDermott. Fans

803
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: want to give and donate during that time, they'll match

804
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: it up to twenty thousand dollars.

805
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: And that's one of the mentioned this already, but it

806
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons it's successful is because Sean

807
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: and the players they're so tangible, they're so they're out

808
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: in the community and and you know, the fans know them,

809
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: they feel like they're they're a part of the team

810
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: and the community and the it's just it all goes

811
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: hand in hand, and that's what drives it.

812
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: I've said a lot. I was talking to one of

813
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: my friends in the broadcast industry one of the night

814
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: games here in Buffalo, and we had we were touching

815
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: base and catching back up and he said, you know,

816
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: I was telling him what I was doing, you know,

817
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: and we asked about each other's families and stuff, and

818
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: he goes, oh, so you're you know, the kids might

819
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: got grand you know, green so's I got a whole

820
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: clan here in Western New York. And he says, so

821
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: you're like, you're like football royalty here in Western New York.

822
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: And I said, and I almost said yeah, and I said, uh,

823
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: it's it's better than that. It's better that it's I'm

824
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: actually family. I'm not royalty.

825
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm family.

826
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: That's what it's like. People treat me like family, right.

827
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 2: I belong to them and my family belongs to them,

828
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: and they you know, we feel like we're in a

829
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: part of a big family. It's not like you know,

830
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: Jim and Bruce and Thurmant and those guys, or like

831
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: these celebrity they are, but they are these rocks. They're

832
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: more like successful members of your family, you know what

833
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: I mean.

834
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: And that's watching a different come up and say hi

835
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: to you here and and everything. It's not there's a

836
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: sense of oh, we know you, you're they know what I mean.

837
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun.

838
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: See it's really somebody's shot too shy to come up

839
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: and say hi.

840
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. But that's good.

841
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: Like if it was Jim or Thurman man Josh too,

842
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: people are like, I don't want to bother you. I'm sorry,

843
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: you know. They come up and I just would be

844
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: and they asked somebody else if they can ask you. Right,

845
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: people don't ask anybody if they can come up and

846
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: talk to me.

847
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: I said them right, like, hey, by the way, Steve's

848
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: sitting right there.

849
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: They come right over there, Hey, Steve, what's going on?

850
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: And then like I took a picture of the lady

851
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: in the in the Choose buff the Chews love t shirt,

852
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 2: they just come up and they go, hey, all right,

853
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: I met you already, Like like i'muting, she goes way

854
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: back when Thurman Thomas had his shoh, when we were

855
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 2: playing like this thirty years ago, because I already met you.

856
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 2: So it's like now we're automatically friends. It's the best.

857
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: It's the absolute best. And I love that about Bill's

858
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: fans and the way they treat the players and the

859
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: way they particularly me because that's my first hand knowledge.

860
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 2: But it just like I said, it's not a fan

861
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: it's not in a fan base. It's a family. Yeah.

862
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: And that's why these guys, you know, like Josh and

863
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox and this give seveny one sixth thing, all

864
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: these guys jump on and Sean and Jamie they jump

865
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: on board with it because they feel it too. They

866
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: feel like they're part of something something special with a

867
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: with a fan base that's really unique.

868
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: And it's and it's at least a small part and

869
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of a factor in how many guys

870
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: we've seen leave Buffalo and free agency and then wind

871
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 1: up right back in Buffalo having a couple of times

872
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: and brand exactly because they realized, Hey, you know what

873
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: was a pretty cool thing I had going on back

874
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Let's just go revisit that.

875
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, And you know, Jordan Phillips is

876
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: a prime example of that. Lawson is another prime example

877
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 2: of that. Those guys who have been other places, and

878
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: I'll say this to Jordan Phillis plays his best football

879
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 2: in Buffalo.

880
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: He had.

881
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: He's a force, and he's agreed. He's the perfect example

882
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: of that. He went away, made a pile of money

883
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 2: at made a pile of money at Arizona, and came

884
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: back and had gone a year and certainly, like DeAndre

885
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: Hopkins over the weekend signing with Tennessee, the money is

886
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: extremely important to these guys. They're going to be pro

887
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: athletes for a very short amount of time and for

888
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: their future and for the family's future, it makes no

889
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: sense not to take the money. But when they have

890
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: a choice and everything else is equal, it's very cool.

891
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: It's gratifying to see them pick Buffalo and to come

892
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 2: back and say hello and to be a part of

893
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 2: this our organization in this town.

894
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: They treated like you're one of theirs.

895
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker, Josh Reed here on give seven to one,

896
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: sixth day, we're talking to you Bill's fans not only

897
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: about seven gives seven to one six, but we also

898
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: have a Twitter question out is now that DeAndre Hopkins

899
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: is off the table. If you haven't heard, he signed

900
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: with the Tennessee Titans for a two year, twenty six

901
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: million dollar deal. And we want to know, how do

902
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: you feel now about the wide receiver group of the

903
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills headed into the season now that DeAndre Hopkins

904
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: is not going.

905
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: To be a part of that.

906
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 2: I assume, maybe wrongly, that most people feel the same

907
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: as that today as they did yesterday when it was

908
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 2: a question, or two days ago when it was a question.

909
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: And you go down the list of wide receivers the

910
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills have in their wide receiver room, there's no Shorter.

911
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 2: You got thirteen guys on contract right now. From it

912
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: goes Khalil Shakir, Deontay Hardy, Gabe Davis, Steph Diggs, Marcel Aateman,

913
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: Trent Sherfield, Justin Shorter, Desmond Patman, Tyrrell Shavers, Keishawn Johnson,

914
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 2: Isaiah Colter, Jalen Wayne, and Brian Thompson, some of those

915
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: guys Bill's fans are not familiar with. But one of

916
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 2: the things, and you might have noticed this too, and

917
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: we've talked about it a little bit at length during

918
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 2: the off season. When you go out and watch, when

919
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: you go out and watch these guys practice in training camp,

920
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: in mini camp and the OTAs, and you see the

921
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: wide receivers standing around. All the new guys are by

922
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 2: and large, except for Deontay Hardy, all the new guys,

923
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: guys like marcel Aateman, even Sherfield, Justin Shorter, Desmond Patten, Shavers,

924
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: Keyshawn Johnson, they're big, very big. They're much bigger than

925
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: they've been in years past. You can't see it the

926
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 2: way the way I look at it. You can't look

927
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: at it knowing what we knew last year and what

928
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: we saw last year. You can't see this group of

929
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: receivers this year and not think, Hmm, there's a plan,

930
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: there's an idea, or there's something they learned about their

931
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: guys last year that they either didn't like or that

932
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: they like or whatever. But there was an real effort

933
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: to get these guys bigger at that position, it's physically bigger.

934
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they've cornered the market on the smaller

935
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: guys already. I mean, I think that they knew that

936
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: the guys they had that were gonna be key pieces

937
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: were on the smaller side. So who do you add?

938
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: You add a different skill set, you know, you bring

939
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: in guys who you don't have that kind of aren't

940
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: in the exact same mold. I mean, you don't need

941
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: any more Khalil Shaki, you know you have him. You

942
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: have Deontay Hardy, who's not a big guy. You know,

943
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: they had already went out and got Trent Sirfield who's

944
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: not a big guy. So then the other guys you

945
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: add need to look different, play a different role. I

946
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: think Justin Shorter is the guy that I'm out of

947
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: the main group, you know, a guy that might not

948
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: be in that main main group. He's a guy that

949
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to seeing how he progresses when

950
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: we get up the fishing.

951
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: We have had a couple of calls over the last

952
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: week or two about Shorter and people asking about him

953
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 2: because he is a big dude and he's got some

954
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 2: physical abilities. You know, he's fast, big, strong, all that stuff.

955
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see this wide receiver corps

956
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: take shape because once you get past Diggs, Davis, Deontay Hardy, Surfield, Surefield,

957
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: and Shakira probably and Shakir, you're probably got one or

958
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: two guys that are gonna be fixtures on the roster

959
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: and what they're able to do not only you know,

960
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 2: as a receiver, but also special teams that kind of stuff.

961
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be huge as to what they bring to

962
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: the table. And I'm excited to see him play against

963
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: NFL caliber competition in preseason games and all that, because

964
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: you know, that's all we're gonna see is those digs

965
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: ain't gonna catch them. He may catch one pass in

966
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 2: the preseason, you know what I mean. I want to

967
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: see who these guys can really help and how much

968
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: they can help.

969
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm interested to see. And we always talk about

970
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: how vanilla the playbook. They're not gonna show a whole

971
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: lot of different looks during the preseason, but we'll get

972
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: an idea of a little bit of how Ken Dorsey

973
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: wants to maneuver these guys, and you know, inside outside

974
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: where guys look more comfortable, you know, when we get

975
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: up to Fisher and I and in particular, you know,

976
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 1: you start thinking about Dalton kin Kaid and sure where

977
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: he fits into the you know, big slot as he

978
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, because that to me that I think that's

979
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: the guy that everybody's gonna be watching because most of

980
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: the other guys that are gonna be playmakers and get

981
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: a big share of targets are guys we've seen on

982
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: the field. With Josh before, he's not a guy that

983
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: we've seen yet. So that's gonna be fun.

984
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break. Steve Tasker, Josh Reid here

Speaker 2: good to see. We're gonna get to your your response

1015
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: to our Twitter question. Our Twitter question was, now that

1016
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins is off the table, how do you feel

1017
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 2: about the Bill's wide receiver group head to get into

1018
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 2: this season? Camp is is eight days away. I mean,

1019
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna report a week from tomorrow. We're

1020
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,959
Speaker 2: gonna be able to Saint John Fisher. The team is set,

1021
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: the roster's set. There's gonna be some tweaks here and there,

1022
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: but man oh man, they're going into with the guys

1023
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 2: they've got in the room. As we mentioned, I read

1024
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: them off a little bit ago. Thirteen names on the list,

1025
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: so there's probably more than you remember, and a lot

1026
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 2: of guys that you probably don't know, even if you're

1027
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: the most staunch Bills fan. But they're going in the

1028
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: season with the guys that you do know. Five of

1029
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 2: them are pretty prominent. Khalil Shakir, Deontay Hardy, Gave Davis,

1030
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 2: Steph Diggs, and Trent Sherfield. Srefield coming over from Miami Dolphins,

1031
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 2: and Deontay Hardy from the New Orleans Saints. Those are

1032
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 2: the five guys that really kind of topped the depth chart,

1033
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: at least to the casual observers. Certainly, maybe the coaching

1034
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 2: staff has a maybe different idea or maybe some designs

1035
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: on somebody else being as a bigger part of it.

1036
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: And of course Dalton Kincaid will have something to say

1037
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: about who plays and what happens on the field. But

1038
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: if you get to some of you, I have already

1039
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 2: responded to what your thoughts are about the wide receiver

1040
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: group from Brawn, he says this, He goes, I like

1041
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 2: the wide receiver talent, more concerned about how Dorsey will

1042
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 2: game plan to make the most of that talent. So man, certainly,

1043
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: Ken Dorsey is a big part of this. It's hard

1044
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: to throw rocks at what they accomplished last year. Offensively,

1045
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: they were number one in the league at third down.

1046
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 2: They'd scored more points than anybody except Kansas City in

1047
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 2: the regular season. Last year. Certainly not you know, the

1048
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 2: season didn't end the way they wanted it to. I

1049
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of reasons for that that don't

1050
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 2: have anything to do with Ken Dorsey or Leslie Fraser

1051
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: or Sean McDermott for that matter. I think they were

1052
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: doing all they could to get through those that last

1053
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: month of the season, after what happened to DeMar Hamlin

1054
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 2: where Luke Luke dot Knox, the storm, the two winter

1055
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 2: storms they had to suffer through, the games, that was

1056
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 2: getting that were getting moved. All of that stuff conspired

1057
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 2: to kind of sabotage the seat. Plus injuries are part

1058
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: of everybody's season. But man, they had some key guys

1059
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: go down, so a lot of things conspired. You know,

1060
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 2: they still won a playoff game and had some good

1061
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: things going on, but the season just ended a little

1062
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 2: bit nonceremoniously with the loss of Cincinnati. But for the

1063
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: most part, I think I'm like them. I like the

1064
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: guys at wide receiver. I'm excited about what they're gonna do. Yeah,

1065
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 2: whether without DeAndre Hopkins.

1066
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: I get the comment about Ken Dorsey, but here's the

1067
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: thing I thought one of my one of the things

1068
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: I always go back to is at the end of

1069
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: the season, when I believe it was Brandon Bean in

1070
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: his end of the season wrap up press conference when

1071
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: he was asked about Ken Dorsey, he said, well, I'd

1072
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: like to think that we're all better at our jobs

1073
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: the second year than we were the first year, and

1074
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: their third year than we were the first. Keep in mind,

1075
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: as you said, they had the second most points in

1076
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: the NFL last year, and it was his first year

1077
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator in the NFL. So assuming that

1078
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: you know the trend continues in the right direction, then

1079
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: you're fine. I mean to me, not not so much

1080
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. It's gonna be interesting to see how

1081
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid kind of gels into the whole thing and

1082
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: how how much more twelve personnel do we see? Yeah,

1083
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: next year because Dawson knocks, I can't imagine it's gonna

1084
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden see a huge drop on his

1085
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: playing time. So I mean, is there do we see

1086
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: a lot more packages where it's Dawson out there with Dalton?

1087
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 2: And certainly I think a lot of people, you know,

1088
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 2: I think most people, most Bills fans. I don't know,

1089
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm exaggerating to make a points. They're not exactly like this,

1090
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 2: but they sit back and they go like wow me.

1091
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 2: They kind of wave their hand of the screen to

1092
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 2: Ken Dorsy go wow me. I want to see something

1093
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 2: I haven't seen before. I want, you know, I want

1094
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 2: Dalton kin Kid to do stuff. I want Gave Davis

1095
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 2: to play better. I want Steph Diggs to be the

1096
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,439
Speaker 2: centerpiece of the offense and that James Cook guy.

1097
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and do something about him, to do something.

1098
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: Let's make sure he gets twelve touched.

1099
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 2: And I want yeah, and I want to see Naheim

1100
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 2: hides break loose and I want to see and it also,

1101
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: by the way, too, Latavious Murray and h Latavius Murray

1102
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: and uh the new the ro running backs. You know,

1103
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 2: I want those guys. I want to see those guys too.

1104
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 2: You know. There there's just so much going on with it,

1105
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, Damien Harris, Latavious Murray, I want you know,

1106
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 2: we're all sitting back going you know, I want to

1107
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: be impressed. Do it, you know, and it's not easy

1108
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 2: to do. Uh, there's only one football in the game.

1109
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 2: And you if somebody starts doing what they do with

1110
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 2: the football, you're going to give them more than those

1111
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 2: other guys less. Uh. Last year, in the second half

1112
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 2: of the season, you know, Josh's arm gets a little hurt,

1113
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, the injury starts to take their toll. It.

1114
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 2: It was tough. It was It was tough. And that

1115
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 2: because I think, more so than anything, more so than

1116
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: even Josh's injury. I really think this team was dragging

1117
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 2: around a ball and chain of trying to overcome the

1118
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: emotional content that the DeMar Hamley incident had, and people

1119
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 2: kind of get tired of me saying that I can't

1120
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 2: I can't stressed enough. How what kind of effect I

1121
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: believe that had on them? It was rough on a

1122
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 2: lot of these guys, and I thought at the end

1123
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: of the last season, I was really of a mind

1124
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 2: that there were going to be four or five guys

1125
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: on the team that would never be back. I don't

1126
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: know that that's the case. How I feel now, I

1127
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 2: think they've kind of now that Damar's back and everything,

1128
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 2: they kind of healed up. From what I thought. There

1129
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 2: was a handful of guys, maybe even some prominent players

1130
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 2: that were going to have to like go someplace else

1131
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 2: for a fresh start. That's how toxic it was for

1132
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 2: them to try and be productive in the midst of

1133
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 2: what was going on last season and the public outcry

1134
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 2: and the national support they got, and the enormous cloud

1135
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 2: that that had over the organization. I really thought they

1136
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 2: were going to have a roster turnover of some guys

1137
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: just because of that. That's how bad. It was for

1138
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: a minute, so havn't come back and then explode into

1139
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 2: this and get these wide receivers and you know, there's

1140
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 2: only three guys from last year's team on here on

1141
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: the wide receiver room. Three.

1142
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, John Brown's gone, Well, Beasley's gone. I mean, those

1143
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: are two guys that they had to bring in right

1144
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: to kind of make things work and make it mesh

1145
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: and figure it out.

1146
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 2: But they're just not that many guys.

1147
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: Here's the thing too, I don't know that enough people

1148
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: to your point, everything that happened at the end of

1149
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: the year, how heavily it weighed, but well, the fact

1150
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: that sometimes you play a team at the wrong time

1151
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: and they're just as good as you, if not better.

1152
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: And guess what, the Bengals are good. Yeah, well, so

1153
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: the season ended against the Tea. It's not like they

1154
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: got upset by a team that was just not I

1155
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: wasn't an upset, but you know what I mean, like,

1156
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: I think it was a game. I think sometimes we

1157
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: forget how good the Bengals are.

1158
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, they're very good. And you get to the divisional

1159
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: round of the playoffs, everybody's good, everybody's playing really well.

1160
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 2: That's just that's the way it is. Even if they're

1161
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: not as talented as you, they're playing as well as you.

1162
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 2: And I think last year the Bills during the regular season,

1163
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: the Bills were better than most of the teams, if

1164
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: not all, the teams they played. The Bills had to

1165
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: play bad and you had to play good in order

1166
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 2: to get the win. That you could play good, but

1167
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: if the Bills are playing good, they win. If the

1168
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 2: Bills are playing bad and you play bad, the Bills

1169
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 2: still win. If you play good and the Bills don't,

1170
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 2: or if something you know, they get some bad happen

1171
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 2: to them, you can you can eke out of victory.

1172
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe that's how good the league that would

1173
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: that that's exactly right, That is how good they were

1174
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 2: last year. And you have and to me, I have

1175
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 2: every reason to believe they're gonna be better at this show. Now,

1176
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some other teams that are better. The

1177
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 2: Jet's gonna be better, the Dolphins will probably be a

1178
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: little better, and the Patriots probably be better too. With

1179
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 2: with Bill O'Brien an offensive coordinator, they're gonna better. So

1180
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 2: all these teams got better, the Bills are going to

1181
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 2: be better too. And you know how much better they

1182
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 2: get and how much better they can stay, you know,

1183
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 2: stay away from injuries, standing away from all that. And

1184
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 2: these these receivers that we're talking about in this segment

1185
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 2: here have a lot to say about whether the Bills

1186
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 2: can keep up in that arms race or at least

1187
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: stay ahead in the arms race for the other teams.

1188
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, a lot has been obviously said, probably too

1189
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: much at this point about the dig stuff. But let's

1190
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: face it, as soon as he steps out there Week one,

1191
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: he goes for seven eight catches one hundred and ten

1192
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. All we're gonna be talking about

1193
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: this and oh man, he's still one of the top

1194
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: two three wide receivers in the NFL. And he is,

1195
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: and he is, and we won't be talking about ah man.

1196
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: It was so important for him to be at OTAs

1197
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: and to be you know what I mean, it's that

1198
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: guy is He's a star.

1199
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: I've told people the at this thing with Digs ain't

1200
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 2: is nothing. I mean, there's nothing. I I know, it

1201
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 2: sounds like I'm you know, trying to gloss over something.

1202
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: I just can't get my mind around thinking there's anything

1203
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: that is going to derail Josh, and they're too good

1204
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: at buddies and.

1205
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: They're too good at their job, right.

1206
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 2: So and listen when you go out there, and I

1207
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 2: don't care if Diggs gets two targets for one catch

1208
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 2: and and ten yards. If they're winning games, Diggs ain't

1209
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 2: gonna squawk. That's the kind of guy he is that

1210
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: he's here to win and whatever he can do to help,

1211
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: he's going to. But he knows he can contribute. So

1212
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 2: if it's not going well and he's not getting a

1213
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 2: chance to contribute, that's when everybody squawks, not just Steph Diggs.

1214
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: That's when you played with a few of those guys.

1215
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 2: I played with you guys that could squawk, yes, and

1216
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 2: especially they weren't going right.

1217
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: That's right, right, I mean, that's what you do. Things

1218
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: are going to contributor you want to play.

1219
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Out that let me help, and that's you know, And

1220
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 2: whether or not that's where Diggs was in this offseason

1221
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: is irrelevant because they're going to be just as because

1222
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 2: they were this year. Nobody's gonna be squawking when they're

1223
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 2: winning games, and that's the way it goes, you know.

1224
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm totally I'm totally like shrugging my shoulders

1225
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: over the Steph Diggs stuff because I'm.

1226
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it'll be a non story by preseason.

1227
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 2: Also on the tweet sheet from Steve not me, but

1228
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 2: somebody else, I feel great. I think a majority of

1229
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 2: fans are too critical of Gabe. I mean Gabe Davis

1230
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: Diggs didn't have a thousand yard season until year four,

1231
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: and Davante Adams it was year five. People need to

1232
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: be patient and let players develop. This attitude scares me

1233
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 2: when it comes to how Kincaid will be judged this year,

1234
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 2: it's an interesting question. We'll get to this Brownie and

1235
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 2: out get to this when we start talking about tight

1236
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 2: ends and how this offense is gonna contribute or develop

1237
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Dalton can How are they gonna evaluate the young players

1238
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 2: on this team? Like, are people gonna be quick to

1239
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: discount Dalton Dawson or Dalton Kincaid. I mean, they didn't

1240
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 2: do that to Dawson Knox. Dawson Knox had a bad

1241
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 2: case of the drops when he was a rookie young player.

1242
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 2: He had trouble catching the ball consistently. H What are

1243
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: they gonna do? You know, if Kincaid gets off to

1244
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: a slow start, are they gonna pounce on him, you know,

1245
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 2: Deontay Hardy or what if Digs or Davis doesn't get

1246
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 2: off to a what if Davis or Hardy or Surefield

1247
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 2: doesn't get off to a fast start, and once again

1248
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 2: it's Steph Diggs and nobody else. How are they gonna

1249
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 2: come down and evaluate these guys and these teams? I

1250
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 2: last year, notwithstanding getting off to a fast start really

1251
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 2: helps light things on fire going forward in the first

1252
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 2: month of the season.

1253
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think King Kaid is the one that you

1254
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: people need to pump the brakes on a little bit

1255
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: because we've seen it in the past, Like Kyle Pitts

1256
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: comes out and he's supposed to be the greatest tight end,

1257
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, since Tony gets like he's the next Tony

1258
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: Gonzalez and Gronk and Kelsey and mash them all up,

1259
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: and but yeah, I mean, look, it takes a little time,

1260
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: especially for tight ends to get acclimated to the NFL.

1261
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Right now. Granted, Kyle Pitts didn't have Josh Allen throwing

1262
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the ball, so maybe maybe his acclamation of the NFL

1263
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: would have been a lot quicker and a lot easier

1264
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: if he had that level quarterback.

1265
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: You can always make that coint so argument.

1266
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: So I think I do think Dalton Kincaid well, I

1267
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: personally think he'll be pretty involved in the offense early.

1268
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I do. I think they'll they'll look to find him

1269
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: way because I think he is a mismatch. I'll tell

1270
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: you what.

1271
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 2: It's interesting because you think about what what happens if

1272
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 2: the Bills are winning games, playing well, scoring like they

1273
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 2: you know, it got off to a fast start last

1274
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 2: year and things are going really well, but Dalton Kincaid

1275
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 2: is like nowhere to be seen.

1276
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: The team will have no problem with that. Sean I'm

1277
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: fs oh. The fans will look for something. It's it's

1278
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: it's fandom, you know, it's part of being a fanatic, right,

1279
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's you're always looking for. Which is a

1280
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: little loose saif kilter? You know, where can I point

1281
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: my you know's anxiety.

1282
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 2: It's an interesting phenomenon because it was exactly where they

1283
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 2: were last year. You go through the week two, they

1284
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 2: go thirty one ten over the Rams, they go forty

1285
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 2: one to seven over Tennessee, and then week three they

1286
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 2: melt in Miami. And in Week three they melt Miami.

1287
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 2: It's like you know, they're ready to toss Kenny Dorsey

1288
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 2: off the train, you know what I mean?

1289
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: That was wasn't that the game where they showed Ken

1290
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: up in the and he threw that and that became

1291
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: a huge storyline, right, I gain even nationally that became like,

1292
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I love it.

1293
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I love that.

1294
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I have no problem with it.

1295
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: I loved it.

1296
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: And it's funny too.

1297
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 2: And if they did the thing with Josh and Ken

1298
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 2: Dorsey saying, well, he goes, I'm you know that, and

1299
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 2: Josh he goes, I'm not really that. I'm not a psychopath.

1300
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 2: Kenny Dorsey saying listen, I'm not really a psychopath. I'm

1301
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, just and Josh saying, you know, that's exactly

1302
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 2: what a psychopath was say about himself. You're right, but

1303
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 2: but stuff like that becomes bigger when there's less to

1304
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 2: talk about. Sure, and that's where the team was for

1305
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 2: a large segment of last year. They they you know,

1306
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 2: they get out to it. They were lumping people up.

1307
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 2: They were a really hard team to beat. They were

1308
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 2: losing games by this you know, teams were just fighting,

1309
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 2: clawn scratching and finally ekeing out a win against this

1310
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 2: team and otherwise you just weren't beating them, but it

1311
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 2: didn't feel like that. And I think that is the weirly,

1312
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 2: really weird thing about this stretch of the Josh Allen era.

1313
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 2: As good as they are, and man oh man, you

1314
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 2: talk to anybody there and they're impossible to beat. You

1315
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 2: need help from them to beat them.

1316
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: If the team doesn't leave the league in rushing and passing,

1317
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: it's a problem, right, it's it's you.

1318
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 2: Really, the bar to clear to make fans happy really

1319
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 2: goes up and up and up and up. You know.

1320
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: It's the same thing in Kansas in Sincy. Listen.

1321
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 2: I've done Kansas City games and you drive back to

1322
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 2: the airport and listen to the local radio station in

1323
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 2: Kansas City after a game they win, and it is vicious.

1324
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. It's like, if they don't fix this, there

1325
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 2: in a world of hurt.

1326
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Well not really now, but the world hurt. Yeah, you

1327
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

1328
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 2: It's just it's the way we are, and this this

1329
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 2: stuff about the wide receiver, it really is there should

1330
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 2: be some real questions about how good and certainly I

1331
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 2: believe Gave Davis is going to take a step forward

1332
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 2: this year because he had a down year last year.

1333
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 2: I think he had some things to learn about himself

1334
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 2: and about being a number two guy and on the field,

1335
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: and a little bit his catch ratios got to rise.

1336
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: He only had he caught half the balls that were

1337
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: thrown to him. It's got to do better than that.

1338
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 2: I think he will. I think it's in there for

1339
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: him to do it better. Steph Diggs is going to

1340
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 2: be just as good as he was a year ago,

1341
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: no question about it. But then you get to you know,

1342
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 2: Khalilshakir was a non factor for most of last year.

1343
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 2: Trent Sherfield carved out a place and for himself pretty

1344
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 2: admirably in Miami. But Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill will

1345
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 2: attract a little bit of attention, So you should be

1346
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 2: able to flex a little bit in that little space

1347
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 2: that they leave here. Deontae Hardy, we've seen Isaah McKenzie

1348
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 2: come in and try and make some things happen and

1349
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:25,959
Speaker 2: it just didn't work out for him. Don't know why.

1350
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: And Deontay Hardy's not Isaamh mackenzie. How's that going to

1351
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 2: work out? This wide receiver room probably has less knowns

1352
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: as Buffalo Bills, and these two guys coming in Sherfield

1353
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 2: and Hardy coming in as Buffalo Bills, and then Shaquille

1354
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 2: Shakir emerging as a third guy. There's probably more question

1355
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 2: marks about this group this year than there were a

1356
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 2: year ago, but I think even football people are perceiving

1357
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 2: it to be a better group, even though we've never

1358
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 2: seen him play together and in this offense.

1359
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: I think Brandon did a good job this offseason of

1360
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: finding different pieces that he can move around. The NFL

1361
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: is such a and Sean talks about this a lot.

1362
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: A week to week matchup to match up league. You

1363
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: gotta find what another team's weaknesses and then adjust your

1364
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: game plan toward that to attack. And it's not just Hey,

1365
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: what we do well is drop back sixty five times

1366
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: and throw it down the field forty yards. What we

1367
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: do is, you know, what the Bills I think are

1368
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: trying to do is have enough weapons that they can

1369
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: move around and put in different positions to go. Hey,

1370
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: there may be a week where Dalton Kincaid plays ten

1371
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, not because he's having a down year,

1372
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: but because the matchup's not right, and then the next

1373
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: week maybe that jumps up to sixty five percent of

1374
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 1: snaps because the matchup's right exactly.

1375
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 2: That's that's that's the state of the NFL now. It's

1376
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 2: rare even for a team like Kansas City, team like Buffalo,

1377
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 2: team like Cincinnati, it's rare for you to beat a

1378
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 2: team when that team's doing what it does best, even

1379
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 2: for a great team. You know, the Bengals are trying

1380
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: to beat you, kind of get you to play them

1381
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 2: left handed. They'll get you with matchups and that kind

1382
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 2: of thing. But if if their strength is your strength.

1383
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be a heavy lift.

1384
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 2: It's hard for teams defensively and offensively to go in

1385
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 2: and beat a team at what that team does well,

1386
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 2: because that's you know, it's the NFL. That's just kind

1387
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 2: of how teams are put together these days. And they're

1388
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 2: gonna have good players too. So what you need to do,

1389
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 2: and like what you can see exactly what the Bills

1390
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 2: are thinking. We need to have an offense where Okay,

1391
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna play two tight ends this year this week,

1392
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 2: and we're gonna be really good at that too. You're

1393
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 2: not we are, or we're gonna play four wides this week.

1394
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 2: I know you're you got you know you have, don't

1395
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 2: have enough corners to go around we do. We're gonna

1396
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 2: make you go four corners and we're gonna beat you

1397
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 2: that way. Or you know what, We're gonna go two

1398
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 2: tight ends and two running backs this week and have

1399
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Steph Diggs on the field. And that's it. And Damien

1400
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 2: Harris's right, that's that's the idea for a guy to

1401
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 2: get it to Ken Dorsey to say, Okay, here's here's all.

1402
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 2: You know. You you throw your game plan, game book in,

1403
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 2: your playbook in and it's got all Every team's got

1404
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 2: all of that stuff available. That's that's the NFL. You

1405
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 2: got to have every offensive set, every personnel grouping in

1406
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 2: your arsenal. But there's gonna be two or three of them.

1407
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 2: Some teams just have to completely throw out because they're

1408
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 2: not They can't do it well enough to beat anybody

1409
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 2: at anything, no matter how bad that other team is.

1410
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 2: So what that's they get a shorter and shorter menu

1411
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 2: of what they can do well. The Bills, their menu

1412
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 2: is pretty big. They can do a lot of things

1413
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 2: and hurt your really bad offensively. Their defense same thing.

1414
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 2: Defense is different with under Leslie Frasier. They did one thing,

1415
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 2: played a lot of things, but with the same people

1416
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 2: on the field, you don't know what they were doing.

1417
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 2: And with Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer back there running

1418
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 2: circle literally running in circles and playing teeter totter before

1419
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 2: the snap, never standing still, you don't know where they're

1420
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: gonna line up. When after the ball snap they sprint

1421
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 2: to where they're supposed to be and you lose all

1422
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 2: that stuff. So defensively, same thing, they cross you up.

1423
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,480
Speaker 2: You never know where they're gonna be matchup wise, defensively,

1424
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 2: at least this way, it's been a pass and it's

1425
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,799
Speaker 2: been very successful. So it's all about having the people

1426
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 2: to give you the flexibility to match up however you

1427
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: decide to match up. The Bills believe they're eleven guys

1428
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 2: defensively can match up against anybody, and then proven to

1429
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 2: be pretty true.

1430
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Well, and they added some depth. I really like the

1431
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: tailor rap signing like I think that that because I

1432
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: think one of the things that the organization learned when

1433
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: they dealt with the ployer and hide injuries and stuff,

1434
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: and then of course tomorrow you know, is all right.

1435
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Not as deep as they'd like to be at safety

1436
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: and the falloff was pretty big. You know when you

1437
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: started going down, Well, you add Taylor Rap to the group,

1438
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: suddenly that drop off isn't as severe. From Hide and

1439
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Ployer to Taylor Rap, a guy who has a ton

1440
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: of it started over forty games for the Rams. I

1441
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: mean he I think he's gonna be He's a real contributor.

1442
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think too, he's actually so good you

1443
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 2: may want to get him on the field.

1444
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Can you take some miles, take off of Ployer and

1445
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Hide a little bit dirty.

1446
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 2: And actually on third and lungs, leave those guys on

1447
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 2: and put him in and place in the middle linebacker

1448
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 2: and put Milano over to the mic. And then you know,

1449
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 2: once again, chess pieces. It's just being able to do it.

1450
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: Plus another thing about the Bills defense is the fact

1451
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 2: I like I like all their corners, Kyer Elam, Christian Benford,

1452
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 2: of course, Tradevious White, Taron Johnson, and Dan Jackson. They've

1453
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 2: got five corners who've got some chops. Certainly, uh Tradevius

1454
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 2: and tarn are As two of the things that they

1455
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 2: do are as good as he. But in the NFL,

1456
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 2: Kyer Elam and Christian Benford have battled out and they've

1457
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 2: shown themselves to be quality NFL corners as well. And

1458
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 2: Dame Jackson, I mean, you can't get rid of him.

1459
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,560
Speaker 1: He's he's the new Levi Wallace, right every time you

1460
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: turn around and you think he's probably not going to

1461
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 1: factor into the Yeah, guys like that.

1462
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 2: You know, Sean McDermott loves guys like that, And and

1463
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 2: they have helped the team be really solid defensively, along

1464
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 2: with Porter and Hyde, with those corners, that cornerback group,

1465
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 2: they don't lose anything back there. I mean, they played

1466
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 2: most of the year last year without tre Davius and

1467
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 2: certainly the entire year without tra Davius as he has

1468
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 2: been and they were still top five defense.

1469
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know it here. People talk, well, that's the

1470
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: standard that set. Like we're talking about on offense, Sam

1471
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: is on defense.

1472
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 2: That's one of the frustrating things about the Bills defense.

1473
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 2: Statisically they as good as anybody in the league, but

1474
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 2: they're they're rarely spectacular.

1475
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: They're just consistent.

1476
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: They're hard to play against. But man, you never see

1477
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 2: him like you know, then when Vaughn was there early

1478
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 2: in the season last year, you think I'm Okay, now

1479
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 2: we got that right. Well, that didn't last long enough.

1480
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 2: Right when Vaughn goes out in Thanksgiving, you know, you stink,

1481
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 2: so your pass rush falls off a cliff. So that

1482
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 2: kind of attitude and that kind of perception about the

1483
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 2: defense is real. Even though statistically they're great, they felt

1484
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 2: I think they feel like and there's some hope now

1485
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 2: with Sean McDermott handling the defense, maybe it's going to

1486
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 2: be a little different. We'll see, we'll see, but there's

1487
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 2: a lot in this team that is intriguing and a

1488
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 2: lot that's really encouraged. Everything. Every question mark this team has,

1489
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 2: it's easy to see. I think the answer for where

1490
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 2: it's going to be. Maybe middle linebacker is an issue,

1491
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 2: you know, because they have a void there. But I

1492
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I have a hard time thing in that spot.

1493
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 2: As would be a difference making drop off from where

1494
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,680
Speaker 2: Tremaine Edmonds was to where any of these other guys

1495
01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 2: are going to be. Certainly they may have to do

1496
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 2: some different things platoons some guys, or run some different

1497
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 2: personnel combinations where they'd never had to before. But I

1498
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 2: think they'll be able to compensate for what Tremaine Edmonds

1499
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 2: left behind.

1500
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: You know, Mico is asked about that inside linebacker spot

1501
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: just kind of where he sees it, and he said, look,

1502
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 1: as long as whatever young guy is in there, as

1503
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: long as they make the decision and make it quickly,

1504
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. He was like, look as look, if

1505
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: we're all reading off of the same sheet of music,

1506
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It Like, if it's the wrong call,

1507
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: but we all have the same call, will be fine, right,

1508
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: It will be fine, right. And so I think that

1509
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: having those guys back there, him employer with all that

1510
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: experience that helps the melano next to.

1511
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 2: Him, Jay Harris. Are we having the chef on today? Yeah,

01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,200

1516
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 2: little bit of spot right, Okay, Steve Tasker, Josh Reid.

1610
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:58,080

1611
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,360

1612
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 2: Seriously, Yeah, I uncooked raw food.

1613

1614
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,800

1615
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 2: in the center of the Kansas, where there is no seafood.

1616
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 2: It's beef and nothing but beef. It's port right, and

1617
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 2: the occasionally, if you really want to go healthy, you

1618
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 2: eat a chicken hole. But so it took me a

1619
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,719
Speaker 2: long time to get used to eating seafood, and sushi

1620
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 2: was like it's like the far into the spectrum from

1621
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 2: where I grew up. I've come to really like it,

1622

1627
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 2: or when you realized I went.

01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 6: thought about that.

1637
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: You have gone in the kitchen a couple of times

1638
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: and gone gone. I just can't figure out how to

1639
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: make this for me. It's everything. There's a long list.

1640
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm not great and they can't boil. I'm I'm not

1641
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: great in the kitchen.

1642
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 5: I'm not very great at baking. A couple have ruined

1643
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 5: some bread before.

1644
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 2: So give me how many different kinds of there's sushi cooking,

1645
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 2: there's baking, there's like what Italian I mean, there's different

1646
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 2: kinds of food. But is there different kinds of being shift,

1647
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 2: you know, being shift? And how do they categorize that?

1648
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: Is?

01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 2: It is? It does to go by national cuisine like

1650
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 2: Italian Asian.

1651
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 5: In terms of like where you rank as a chef.

1652
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about like the different like different specialities,

1653
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 2: I guess is what you're saying.

1654
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,759
Speaker 6: I mean, there's so many different ways to prepare foods.

1655
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 6: Like we talk about grilling and breezing and in boiling

1656
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 6: and cooking and in baking, and there's so many different ways.

1657
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 2: Baking only seems to be very separate from biking.

1658
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 6: Is when you talk baking, you're thinking more desserts and

1659
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 6: breads and stuff, certainly.

1660
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,839
Speaker 5: But different cooking techniques. Uh.

1661
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 6: Like, when you're talking about different ways to prepare meats,

1662
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 6: it's like the difference between breezing or grilling, su vd

1663
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 6: or or steaming.

1664
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 5: There's lots of difference.

1665
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: Would you say the baking community has looked down upon

1666
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:26,640
Speaker 1: inside the just kidding you guys, keep them separate a

1667
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:33,640

Speaker 2: Yeah, for our fans. What's the trend? Food trend?

1678
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 5: That's a question.

1679
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 6: I feel like more and more people have been bringing

1680
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 6: better food to.

1681
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:08,519

Speaker 2: me refresh hold on, I gotta refresh this, Yeah, seven

1701
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 2: thirty nine to nine. It's climbing steadily all day throughout

1702
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 2: the day. It's been great. Josh. We've been talking about,

1703
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 2: you know, stuff going on with the team and the

1704
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 2: wide receiver room. There's what do you see as any

1705
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 2: major theme as to why the Bills, and particularly in

1706
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 2: the national media, the only thing people are saying is that, well,

1707
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 2: their their windows closing. You know, what do you think

1708
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 2: they see that causes them to think that.

1709
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why, because as long as seventeen's at quarterback,

1710
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: the window's not closed. Yeah, as long as he is

1711
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 1: is healthy, as long as they got Josh Allen, the

1712
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 1: window is not closed. I mean, look, they're gonna have

1713
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: to retool sooner rather than later. So if they say

1714
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: the window is closing on this version of this team

1715
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 1: that I can buy, because they're gonna have to retool,

1716
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be some veterans that aren't gonna be

1717
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 1: here past maybe this year or maybe the following season.

1718
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some of that's gonna need to happen.

1719
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: But you're you're I mean, as long as Josh Allen's there, Yeah,

1720
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: it's not closed, and it's not closing.

1721
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 2: I would agree. And you know, we've talked about today.

1722
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 2: We asked our listeners about, you know that DeAndrea Hopkins

1723
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 2: signed with the Tennessee Titans over the weekend. How do

1724
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 2: they view the wide receiver room. Herb says, I feel

1725
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 2: really good about our wide receivers. I believe Dalton Kin

1726
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 2: kid will be an outlier. You could have a breakout

1727
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 2: first season like we wouldn't ever imagine sprinkling Justin Shorter,

1728
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 2: Hardy Surefield, and we will have the best wide receiver

1729
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 2: crew we've ever had. Sit back and enjoy and stay healthy.

1730
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 2: That's a huge aspect of this is the health and

1731
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 2: the stuff that you can't control. Certainly, injuries play a

1732
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 2: part in every NFL team's season, and the Bills have

1733
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: notoriously been very good at that, although last year was

1734
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 2: the exception to that. Not only they get injuries, they

1735
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 2: got them to key top flight guys, you know, Vaughn

1736
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 2: and Micah Hyde and the like, and then other guys

1737
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: were dragging them around. But I think this is as

1738
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 2: talented as I'm with you about this, you know, keeping

1739
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:39,560
Speaker 2: it going the window and stuff. This team has refurbished

1740
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 2: on the fly extremely well. They hold a lot of

1741
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 2: really important players to short term deals and they get

1742
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 2: a lot out of it, and they bring them back

1743
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 2: during season. They'll say, let'll just sign them to another deal,

1744
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 2: another two year dealer. They'll reward them for the play

1745
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 2: they've given them. Jordan Phillips is a great example of that.

1746
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 2: This team's philosophy about signing and retaining players I think

1747
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 2: keeps them fresh year to year, and I think it

1748
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 2: leans on Sean McDermott's ability to bring new guys in

1749
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 2: like they are this year. They got a ton of

1750
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: new defensive tackles and a lot of defensive tackles that

1751
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 2: are here just short term because a lot of guys

1752
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 2: like that that McDermott is good at, including you know,

1753
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 2: getting them acclimated, getting a part of the culture, making

1754
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 2: them feel comfortable. I think that's been his gift as

1755
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 2: a leader, is getting the team cohesive short in a

1756
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 2: short amount of time. And I think Brandon's philosophy of

1757
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 2: signing guys to these short term deals plays into that.

1758
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 2: So I don't think the window closes because of that,

1759
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,719
Speaker 2: because that's the way they do business. They're fresh every

1760
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 2: year in their roster.

1761
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: And people want to play for a winner, right, I mean,

1762
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: if you're a free agent and you have a handful

1763
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: of options, you're a lot more attractive. When you're a

1764
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: team that's constantly in the playoffs, you're just more attractive.

1765
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 2: That's what they keep winning. Guys give you a look, sure,

1766
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 2: you know, and even guys who wouldn't obviously normally give

1767
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 2: you a look. Plus not to a great extent, as

1768
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 2: the DeAndre Hopkins thing illustrates. If there's a big number

1769
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 2: out there, that guy's gonna take the big number. But

1770
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 2: if it's close, they want to go someplace where they

1771
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 2: got a shot it maybe getting a champion.

1772
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: And if you're an offensive guy, you want to play

1773
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. That's right, I mean, that's right. You know,

1774
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: and then quite frankly, the opposite old's true as well

1775
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 1: if you're a defensive guys.

1776
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 2: Allen right from Jack on the tweets sheet, he says,

1777
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 2: I like it. I like the wide receiver room. I

1778
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 2: think Davis will have a bounce back year and show

1779
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 2: renewed health and focus. Excited to see what Hardy adds

1780
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 2: as a speedy shot slot guy. And I think Sherfield

1781
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 2: was surprised and impress us with his hand speed and

1782
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 2: work ethic. I hope Shakir can take a step and

1783
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 2: Kincaid will help as an X factor. A lot of

1784
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 2: these guys are really looking to really help out. I

1785
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are intrigued by these these

1786
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 2: new faces.

1787
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't need all of them to exceed expectations.

1788
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 1: You know, you probably have a good idea what Stefan

1789
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: Diggs is gonna give him, and that's being elite. Then,

1790
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, as long as Gabe Davis develops into you know,

1791
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: that next guy guy we've seen yep, exactly, then everything

1792
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 1: just trickles down.

1793
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 2: Josh Reed, thanks for coming in today, man. Appreciate you

1794
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 2: coming in and filling in for Brownie on seven to one.

1795
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 2: Sixth day.

1796
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me
