16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. Steve, Now, I'm not going to make a

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: deal out of him being off today because I'm quickly

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: approaching my vacation time and turn about his fair play?

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Right if I if I make a big deal of

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: another day off for mister Tasker, then he will certainly

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: turn it around, which is fine. I won't hear it.

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: But Steve is not exactly off today. Steve is hard

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: at work on the golf course today, playing one one

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: hundred holes of golf for Steve Tasker today, a fundraiser

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: that he's in for the second time to benefit the

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Easter Royal Boys and Girls Club, playing golf down in

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: Holiday Valley, I believe, down in Alecantville. One hundred holes

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: of golf in one day. Started at seven in the morning.

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: He told me, Brownie, they'd finish up around when the

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: sun sets to night. Eight thirty. When did the salon

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: pause come out to put on his back? Yeah, I

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: want to chet. That's a lot of golf, you know.

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I said, know how many strokes you think? And he said, well,

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: one hundred holes probably, uh five hundred something strokes. Right,

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: It's crazy, that's all you, buddy. I'm that repeated motion

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean. It's just, you know,

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: look like Tiger Woods did when he was struggling with

38
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: his back for those years. I don't like golf that

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: much to play one hundred holes. I know it's for

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: a good cause and everything, but yes, that would just

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: be it would be burdens. There's gotta be a way

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: that they do that, right, Like where they just say,

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: let's play best ball. First guy hits a really good ball,

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: all right, we're good. Do you know what I mean?

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: Let's all walk out to that ball. And that's how

46
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I would do it. You'd save yourself probably fifty sixty

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: strokes at least that way. Yeah, Well, I was thinking

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: what was they doing? I was thinking today on the

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: way and I drove by a golf course and there's

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: a green under repair. They actually put a new green

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: in right by on the road at Orchard Park Country Club,

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: not yet open. But I was thinking, if I were

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: a member, I'd probably played to the hole and give

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: myself two putts and just move on. Instead, they have

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: like a makeshift whole green somewhere down the fairways. It's

56
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: like part three size hole now. But I wouldn't do

57
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: it that way. I would say that they have a

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: windmill with the clown and oh no, it's not that.

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fine. But I was saying, if I

60
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: were going to do it, i'd say, you anywhere we

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: didn't here, add two and we'll give you a two

62
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: putt and that's a good way to start your round.

63
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: But they're doing it different thing, all right. And Steve's

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: playing one hundred hole which is amazing, amazing today, and

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: then he's gonna play in Jim Kelly's golf tournament on Monday,

66
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: which he'll be warmed up. Yeah, And as he pointed out,

67
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: and you know this Kelly's Golf Tournament, it's great, and

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: it's a tremendous fundraiser and a tremendous show support for

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's Hall of Fame quarterback. And it takes forever

70
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: to play those eighteen holes. It's like six I don't

71
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: even have how they do it, I know. And that's

72
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: part of the reason they were Terry Hills because it's

73
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: one of the few places that has what do they

74
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: have thirty six holes or twenty s thirty six? I believe, yeah,

75
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: thirty six. So that's the only way you're doing it

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: with all those people and getting everybody in. Yeah. Anyway,

77
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Brownie's here today. Brownie will be here Monday, Steve. This Monday,

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Steve will be out at the Kelly Tournament doing a

79
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: little workforce there. We got a good show today, Brownie.

80
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: You caught a good day here we got good talk

81
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: about the Browns um they're wrapping up their OTAs I

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: believe today and they haven't seen a whole lot of

83
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior and then has caught the intention of

84
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens, their coach, who's not happy about that. Right,

85
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: what a shock? I mean, this is the risk you

86
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: run when you bring a what's the right word, A

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: mercurial personality like O'Dell Beckham junior on Adam to your

88
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: roster and uh, this is this kind of goes and

89
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: it reminds me of why the Bills front office in

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: personnel department takes those pains, taking steps to determine whether

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: or not a guy is a fit and has our

92
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: DNA as we hear them say all the time, and

93
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: some people might be tired of hearing it. Some people

94
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: might not give it a lot of credence. But you know,

95
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: this is an example. And I know the Bills were

96
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: called about Odell Beckham Junior. And I'm not saying they

97
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: would have turned their back if the if the price

98
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: was right, but you have to know that your your

99
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: locker room, your coaching staff is strong enough to keep

100
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: those personalities in the line where you're going to be

101
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: able to maximize what they can offer you from a

102
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: talent perspective, and maybe the brown and we can we

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: can ask Mary Kay cabotiz who's the Brown's beat reporter.

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: We're going to have on a little bit later. I

105
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: wonder if the Browns, in pulling off that trade felt

106
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: by having one of his closest friends and college teammates

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: and Jarvis Landry on that roster, if they felt, well,

108
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: there's a guy who can help keep him in line.

109
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: He's been here, you know, he knows how things operate.

110
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe he can kind of be his shepherd,

111
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: so to speak, and keep him in line. I don't know,

112
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: but it'd be interesting to get an answer on that

113
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: and see what answers Mary Kay has gotten from the

114
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: coaching staff as to how they felt, you know, Odell

115
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: was going to fit personality wise with this roster. Mary

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Kate Cabot is the beat reporter covers the Browns for

117
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland dot Com and the Cleveland Playing Dealer. She's joining

118
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: us at twelve thirty today. The quotes from Freddie Kitchen

119
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: yesterday I thought were really kind of funny. He was

120
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: he was Freddie Kitchens, the first year head coach of

121
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: the Browns, was asked what do you hope to see

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: from Odell Beckham when he gets here? And he's just

123
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: I just want to see him. Yeah, he's like the

124
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: modern day bum Phillis. Yeah, he really is, isn't he.

125
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: I think I think he's got a similar type person

126
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: lay to Bum in some of those clever lines he

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: used to break off. Or maybe he's a cross between

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Bum and Wade. I don't know yet, but you know,

129
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of got that. He's like that dad gum

130
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: kind of guy, you know what I mean. So just

131
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's an interesting personality. If I was

132
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: covering that team, I wouldn't mind, you know, having a

133
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: guy like that as the head coach, because he'd make

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: for interesting stuff to write about. I just I don't know.

135
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm not thrilled with the staff that he hired, and

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, a lot of people have a lot

137
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: of expectations for this Browns team this year, and I

138
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: understand why with the pieces that were added, but you

139
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: gotta have the coaching staff, and I man, I just

140
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: don't Wilkes was a nice pickup as a defensive coordinator.

141
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: You know, the guy that only got one year in

142
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: Arizona as the head coach. You know, good guy on

143
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. So he did well there,

144
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: but man, beyond that, they may have to score a

145
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: lot every single week to get on the right side

146
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: of five hundred This year, We're gonna dive into the

147
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Browns with Mary Kay Cabin at twelve thirty today. Coming

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: up at one o'clock, our buddy Eric Wood is in town.

149
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: He's out watching a little bit of today's Ota workout.

150
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Eric Wood is here quite frankly, we're doing a practice

151
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: game today. We did about one half of one game.

152
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: He and I in the media room a couple of

153
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: minutes ago, just wrapped up about eleven forty five watching

154
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: a game on tape. We're watching the Bills Dolphins season

155
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: finale last year. It's a pleasure to watch that game

156
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: again and pretending like we're doing a game on the radio,

157
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: a practice game for Eric Wood, who is going to

158
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: join us on the Bills radio network as the Colorado.

159
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: So'll join us here in studio at one o'clock. He's

160
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: here to play golf two, the big Jim Kelly Golf

161
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: weekend is here and Eric Wood will talk up a

162
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: little bit about that. So Eric will be with us

163
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: at one. I'm looking forward to talking to Eric. You can,

164
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: even though you were just talking to him, better work.

165
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: We were working and coming up at two Josh Allen,

166
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: you've heard him. One thirty two o'clock after today's OTA workout,

167
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will join US Bills quarterback making an appearance

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: on our show coming up today after the OTA. So

169
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: we got a lot to do here today and a

170
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: lot to discuss. I wonder, Chris, we just had you

171
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: in here what two days ago? I believe it was Wednesday? Um,

172
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: any impressions of what? Today's the six OTA session, So

173
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: we're more than halfway through. As much as everybody likes

174
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: to think while the season is so far off, it's

175
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: there's really not a whole lot of practice left before

176
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: they break for training camp, right. They have four OTAs

177
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: next week, three mandatory mini camps, and then that's it.

178
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: That's it until your training camp at the six weeks later. Yeah,

179
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean you're up. What are you a hundred days

180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: from the season opener? I think today today? Yes, social

181
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: media services today. So the countdown is on, and there

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: is a countdown clock over the locker room door. Yeah,

183
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: and I believe it's to the start of training camp. Okay,

184
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: that countdown clock, which I think now should be around

185
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: seventy seven days, I want to say, And it's got days, hours, minutes, seconds,

186
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: and it's just counting down. So um, yeah, it's it's

187
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: a daily reminder for the players that there is a

188
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: finite amount of time left to get everything in order

189
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: the way they feel they need it. And you still

190
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: hear the players now even saying we still have a

191
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. And I think the reason

192
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: there is so much work is because this roster has

193
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: almost flipped fifty percent of the personnel on it. So

194
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: as exciting as the potential is for all of the

195
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: talent that's been accumulated for this roster, you still have

196
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: to blend it all together. And I think that's the

197
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: challenge for this team that is of their that is

198
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: of greatest concern to them as a collective, knowing that

199
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: you got about seventy nine days, seventy seven days before

200
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: you're a training camp, one hundred days before you're kicking

201
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: it off for real. So it's it's going to take

202
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: some doing. It really is, because that offensive line you're

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna probably have four or five. Four out of the

204
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: five players are going to be new. Those guys are

205
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: all gonna be new to one another. And you know,

206
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: I know the defense has pretty healthy year over year

207
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: returns because ten of the eleven starters are coming back.

208
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Hyle Williams is the only one who is not. Whether

209
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace starts at corner and whether some other positions

210
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: are up for grabs remains to be seen at camp

211
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: and the wide receiving corps with targets, some of whom

212
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: are not even participating now, like Cole Beasley, Tyler Croft.

213
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: So there's some there's some doing. Yeah, that has to

214
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: get done. It We'll say this too, and this struck me.

215
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm writing a piece that will go up this weekend

216
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,479
Speaker 1: on Buffalo bills dot com about the approach to OTAs

217
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of people shrug, fans maybe

218
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: shrug and saying, whatever Spring practices, this is meaningless. But

219
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't get that sense from this group of players.

220
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: And there have been times in years past when you

221
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: got the sense like, you know, nobody's taking it that seriously,

222
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and there wasn't a great deal of attendance, you know,

223
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: everybody's here that I can tell. I mean, you don't

224
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: see too many missing p to the roster at these

225
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: OTAs this week. It is still voluntary, but I'm writing

226
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: a piece just about the different approaches, like say that

227
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: the veteran would take like Trent Murphy, or a rookie

228
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: would take like the tight end we had on yesterday,

229
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. You know what I mean. Everybody approaches it differently,

230
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: but they all take it pretty seriously, I think, which

231
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: is impressive to me. I was talking to Spencer Long

232
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: the other day for stories that I'm working on, and

233
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: I said, look, I know it's OTAs and it's not

234
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: real football for you guys because the pads are not on.

235
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of qualifying my question with him and he

236
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: stops me. He goes, well, I don't think it's not

237
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: real football. He goes, we are still getting real work done,

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: whether it's how are we going to block this up

239
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: as it's hand them? And when am I, you know,

240
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: going to reach here and then join, you know, to

241
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: make sure we're taking care of here in this gap,

242
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: and then join to help you on a double team.

243
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: There are those kinds of communication details that while the

244
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: blocks are not being executed as they would be in

245
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: a live setting. They are still moving through those communication

246
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: details now, so on those set given plays when they

247
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: do put the pads on in camp, it's just understood

248
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: how it's going to work between guys. So the linemen

249
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: really feel like they are getting a lot done here

250
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: even though they're not firing off the ball and you know,

251
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: trying to drive guys off the line of scrimmage defensive

252
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: line in the same way. I was talking to Trend

253
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: Murphy the other day too, and he said, yeah, you know,

254
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to bull rush here in this kind

255
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: of a setting because of the contact rules, he said,

256
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: but we try to work on other things that we

257
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: can do in this kind of a setting. So they're

258
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: trying to make the most of the time they have

259
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: in this kind of setting with these kinds of restrictions.

260
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: So you know, you've got to kind of tip your

261
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: hat to them because they're finding ways to still get

262
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff they need to get done now,

263
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: knowing that time is going to grow very short, very

264
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: quickly once they get to the end of July round

265
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: with us here today in place of Steve Taskers. So

266
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: a good show coming up, and I want to kind

267
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: of set the tone for what we're talking about today

268
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: with a couple of things. We got more to discuss

269
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: two between us, but this came up. It was part

270
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: of an NFL true and false yesterday somebody said the

271
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: smartest move the Bills made this offseason. It was an

272
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: article on one of these websites and somebody said drafting

273
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: at Oliver was the smartest move they made, and we

274
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: got talking about it, thinking what was the smartest move

275
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the Bills had made this offseason? That's our Twitter poll today.

276
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: That's a question for you. You can ring us up,

277
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: let us know what you think eight oh three h

278
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: five fifty or toll free from outside Buffalo one eight

279
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: eight eight by fifty two five fifty vote and the

280
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Twitter poll at one Bills Live. Send it a tweet,

281
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: we might read it on the tweet sheet. What's the

282
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: smartest move the Buffalo Bills made this offseason? Let us

283
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: know what you think. We got three options up on

284
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. Was drafting at Oliver the smartest move

285
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: they made? Maybe you think it is the argument that

286
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: was made by someone yesterday and we talked about it

287
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: in truer false was that it might have been smarter

288
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: to try to build around Josh, or it might have

289
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: been more tempting to try to build around Josh Allen

290
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: and not drafted Oliver, but he clearly was the best

291
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: player available at number nine, and so by drafting him

292
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: the Bills made the smartest move. Or is it remaking

293
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: the offensive line, which in terms of volume they added

294
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot. We'll see how good these players are and

295
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: who winds up starting. Or was it the changes they

296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: made to the coaching staff, which I happen to think

297
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: pretty important changes. Chris and I've kind of let me

298
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: got off on a little tangent here, but the last

299
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: month or two and we had it as a Twitter poll,

300
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: what's the most significant? I think it was yesterday's Twitter poll,

301
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: right which which assistant coach has the biggest challenge ahead

302
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: of him? Earlier month or so ago, we're talking about

303
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: which assistant coach is the biggest edition. I think the

304
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: changes they made to the coaching staff at the quarterback spot,

305
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver spot, and on the offensive line,

306
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: those are significant moves, and I do think those have

307
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: to be considered as really important moves the Bills made

308
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: this offseason. I think it's kind of overlooked, generally overlooked.

309
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Do you think outside the Bills, Yeah, outside, yeah, I

310
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: think in terms of media coverage, in terms of fan

311
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: in terms of what fans think about this team, they're

312
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: not putting much attention on Bobby Johnson being added to

313
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: the coaching staff or or he farwell. I mean, I

314
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: think you can make the argument that he's got the

315
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: biggest row to hoe here. I mean, this is his

316
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: first time as a coordinator of special teams. He's been

317
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: an assistant for three or four years under some pretty

318
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: good people. But he's got to undertake a side of

319
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: the ball, a phase of the game that was woefully

320
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: inefficient for the Bills last year, and he's going to

321
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: be doing it, fortunately with some veterans and some key roles,

322
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: most notably Andre Roberts as your primary return man, Haushka

323
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: as your primary place kicker. But he's got a young

324
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: punter in Bjorkez. I know Corey Carter's here as well,

325
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: but a young guy too, with really no NFL experience,

326
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: So he's got to sort that out at camp. But

327
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: he's got good veteran players on teams that I think

328
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: are going to help bring the unit along. I am

329
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: of the belief that he's going to bring also some

330
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: cutting edge schemes to the table, having been not too

331
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: far removed from a playing career of his own, which

332
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: chiefly was done on special teams. I think there's something

333
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: to be said for that that the Bills really have

334
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: not had here. You know, you've had offensive and defensive

335
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: coaches who have played this game before, Leslie Frasier being

336
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: a prime example, but at the special teams coordinator role,

337
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: you haven't really seen a guy here who has played

338
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: in the league and has made his living largely on

339
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: special teams. And I believe there's a dynamic that he

340
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: farwell can bring to that unit as a coach, even

341
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: though it is his first go round as the head guy,

342
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: that I believe will make this special team's unit better

343
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: than what it was last year. For sure, there were

344
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: some there were some bad numbers for a lot of

345
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: categories for the coverage units, for the return units, and

346
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: there are some wholesale improvements that need to be made.

347
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: And you know, as I said, the personnel staff did

348
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: what they could to help in that regard. I mean

349
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: Centorise Perry, I mean he played for the Dolphins and

350
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: the Bears. The last two years he led both of

351
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: those teams and special teams tackles and back to back seasons.

352
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: He's like a Marcus Easily type. I mean, that's the

353
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: kind of guy he is, you know, when there are

354
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: others too. I mean Dion Lacy, I think is a

355
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: very underrated special teams, coverage units player, and he's been here.

356
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: This is a third year I think with the Bills

357
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: now so and he doesn't really play on defense at all,

358
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: and I think that speaks to, you know, the kind

359
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: of talent that he is. Pat to. Marco's out there

360
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: running and people say, oh, they barely use him at fullback.

361
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: He's pretty important on special teams some of the units

362
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: that he's on. So I really I'm really interested in

363
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: that dynamic. I know there's a lot of attention on

364
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: the offensive lying deservedly so, and I think there's a

365
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: lot to be put together there. And let's not forget

366
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: that Bobby Johnson for the first time is the head

367
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: guy as an offensive line coach. He's been a position coach,

368
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: he's been a tight ends coach, which is what he

369
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: was in Oakland, but he's largely been an assistant offensive

370
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: line coach in his pro career, and he's got a

371
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: lot to pull together on what is arguably the most

372
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: important unit on the team. Say what you will, you

373
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: don't have a line. We saw what happened last year

374
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: with this offense. I mean, Josh Allen was making plays

375
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: out of nothing for a good portion of last season

376
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: because the offense, the line could not win the line

377
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: of scrimmage battle on a week to week basis, and

378
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: it really crippled what they could and could not do.

379
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: We've talked, we talked at nauseam last fall about how

380
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: Brian Dable was essentially calling plays and putting together game

381
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: plans with one arm tied behind his back. So Johnson

382
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: really has to come through for the entire offense because

383
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: if you don't have that line operating at peak efficiency,

384
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: there is a domino effect that is damaging with no

385
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: end in sight. I think it's a big change and

386
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: I think it deserves some consideration, And if you look

387
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: at the numbers from the Twitter poll so far, it

388
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: doesn't get much right. The Twitter question today, what's the

389
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: smartest move the Bills made this offseason? What do you think?

390
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Seventy eight percent of you overwhelmingly say we're remaking the

391
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: offensive line. Overlook designation is bang on there. Sixteen percent

392
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: said drafting ed Oliver. Just three percent said changes of

393
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Two percent have something else in mind.

394
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Give it a thought or two and let us know

395
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: what you think voting the Twitter poll, send it a

396
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: tweet for the tweet sheet, or give us a call

397
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty or eight eight eight

398
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. We'll talk about it. We

399
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today, Chris. We got

400
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: a fund segment coming up here. I think it's scheduled

401
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: from one thirty. A little oh. I watched about five

402
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: or ten minutes of the scripts National Spelling B last

403
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: night before basketball came on. Didn't really hold much appeal

404
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: to me. But I'm gonna have something to say about

405
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: that in about an hour. I'm just gonna say we're

406
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna do a little spelling B with the NFL names prominent.

407
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: I picked prominent. I picked five, You pick five. We're

408
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna each other. And I hope you didn't pick the

409
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: most obscure guys of all time. No, I did not like.

410
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: The names at the top of the list are just

411
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: not even fair. So I did not pick any of

412
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: those for you, So I'll tell you the truth. Thing

413
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't think I picked it. Maybe I did.

414
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: I still have to look up Star Lotula's last name

415
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: when I do, right, Yeah, yeah, pretty much. You know.

416
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: I have to say that for some reason, I do

417
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: okay with the pollen the names of Polynesian descent, because

418
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: all of their vowels are true sounding vowels, Like remember

419
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: when we had La Vale sape here, you know, I

420
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: mean Sape you know. If you if you want to

421
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: americanize it, it's sape, you know, but sape. It tells

422
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: you what the what the vowels are. So if you

423
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: know what the vowel sounds are in the Hawaiian alphabet,

424
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: and I think there's only twelve letters in the Hawaiian alphabet,

425
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of vowels um like a you know,

426
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: a is uh is you know, so they they're all

427
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: true vowel sounding. They don't have any tricky vowel sounds.

428
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: So if you just sound it out and you kind

429
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: of know, you know the letters in the Hawaiian alphabet,

430
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: you can do okay. Although none of us say Hawaii

431
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: or however, they say it that they have that apostrophee

432
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: out there at the second out of which I never

433
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: put in there when I'm writing Hawaii, I guess I

434
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: should do that. We got a little spelling b Chris

435
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: and I coming up around one thirty as we test

436
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: each other on how to spell some NFL names we do.

437
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: We do have to talk about the bee too itself. Yeah,

438
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: that was I'm sorry. That was a disgrace. Did you

439
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: spend all day with it? Yesterday day and night? I

440
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: guess you were watching it in the office. We had it,

441
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: We had it on in the office, and holy crow,

442
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: like believe me, like those words. I never even heard

443
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: half of the sound like foreign words, and never even

444
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: heard half of them. I was looking, you know, I

445
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: so what the heck happened on them? On a pia?

446
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, those those good ones I learned in English class.

447
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: You know they don't even try those anymore because yeah,

448
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, you know, when there were some

449
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: some uh some some snide comments being thrown around the office,

450
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: I won't repeat them here, but okay, um they were

451
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: they were making some some snide comments about well, what

452
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: else did these kids do besides spell? All day to

453
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: be there, you know, and maybe nothing. I don't know.

454
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: They well, we'll talk about it at once, but they

455
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: must give them a list of Here the words we're

456
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna choose from right? You think so, I would think, so,

457
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: come on those words you don't think so, here's a listen.

458
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: How is it a competition then if you already see them?

459
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: I don't know how it works. It didn't hold my attention.

460
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: If I watched for five minutes or less last night,

461
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: I had. I got a lot of bones to pick

462
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: about the spelling BM. Not that you know, you know,

463
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: it is what it is, you know. But if it's

464
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: called a competition, there should be one winner. Okay, we'll

465
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: get to It's gonna be hard for me to wait

466
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: that long. There was one winner. There was one winner

467
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals last night. It was the Toronto Raptors. Hey,

468
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: I thought the Raptors could get swept in this series.

469
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: I haven't followed them all season, but I was surprised

470
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: at how how tough they were defensively and how timely

471
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: they were offensively. And I guess I should not be surprised,

472
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: but I thought Golden State looked rusty after what nine

473
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: or ten days from their last game. Watch a game

474
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: last night. I did not catch any of it. I

475
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: was running aroun sound last night, and so I did

476
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: watch the highlights and the reviews and all of that stuff,

477
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, it did not surprise me because Golden State,

478
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: when they have a long layoff, they come out flat.

479
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: They were flat, and they did not play defense like

480
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: they carried one iota. I mean, you got wide open

481
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: shooters getting open looks everywhere. And you know siakam is

482
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: fourteen of seventeen from the field. Do you have any

483
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: free throws he took two? Yeah, So that says to me,

484
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: number one, too many open looks, and number two, nobody's

485
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: failing him. Nobody's bumping him. If that. You know, a

486
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: wing player should be at the line, if he's taken

487
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: seventeen shots, he should be at the line like ten

488
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: times because you're banging on him. And there was none

489
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: of that. And that's when the Warriors get themselves in trouble,

490
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: which is why Draymond Green is so essential to that roster.

491
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Hate him if you want to, but that's their energy player.

492
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: That's their guy who turns up the heat on defense

493
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: and gets everybody else to play defense there, edgy player, yeah,

494
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: the guy who gets things going. Yeah. And I think

495
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: last night's result makes Kevin Durant maybe the most compelling

496
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: figure now in the finals because they need him. They

497
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: desperately need him. Now. Can they win without them? Yeah?

498
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: And I thought they would. I thought they might sweep.

499
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I was dead wrong on that they can win without them,

500
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: but they're things go much smoother for Golden State when

501
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: they have Kevin Durant as an option. Offensively, I did

502
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: question about that. Now. My son, who is a huge

503
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: NBA fan, gave me a little nugget last night when

504
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: he told me, because he knows I'm a nick fan,

505
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: he told me that Kevin Durant has already sold his

506
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: house in Oakland and has already purchased a house in

507
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: New York. Now, I didn't bother to look this up

508
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: on the internet, but I'm gonna try to. Now that's

509
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: a pretty strong rumor. I heard something along those lines.

510
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: So I was like telling my son. I was like,

511
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: don't get me excited, don't do that to me. Well,

512
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: there's just too much disappointment with this retention today. Did

513
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: you see that what's his name? Guy sits Corkside Drake,

514
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: he shows up the Del Curry. He's already ten times

515
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: worse than Spike Lee ever was. But he showed up

516
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: with a Del Curry Raptors jersey. Right last night, somebody

517
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: said tomorrow or when Durant's ready to play, he should

518
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: show up with a Durant Nick's jersey. Oh, that would

519
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: be good. I'd be all over that. He is. He's

520
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: too much. I mean, come on, he's not the show,

521
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: but he wants to be the show. And he got

522
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: into it a little bit with Draymond Green. I'd love

523
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: to see Draymond Green take him down with one one smack.

524
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the Have you ever seen the

525
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: ESPN thirty for thirty with Spike? Oh? Yeah, it's a

526
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: crub that one. Yeah. And I'll say this, Drake can't

527
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: hold a candle to Spike until he shows up in Oakland. Yeah,

528
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: in a game six or whatever situation. Because I say,

529
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: Spike went to Indiana Indiana that yeah, and it was

530
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: it was getting a little uncomfortable with some of the

531
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: stuff that was going on in the stands there. Yeah,

532
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: So I give him a ton of credit. Fortunately had

533
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: a big guy with him, you know, he had he

534
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: had his heavy with him. But you never know what

535
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna run into the interesting game one last night

536
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: and I'm in now, I'll state up. You know, the

537
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: game end about eleven forty eleven forty five. I'm good

538
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: with that, all right. We got a good football show

539
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: coming up here. We got a good Twitter poll. We

540
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: talked about that. We got Josh Allen coming by by

541
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: one thirty two o'clock sometime in that time frame. We

542
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: got Chris Brown co hosting. We're gonna talk about the

543
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Browns a little bit. By the way, you can phone

Speaker 1: Kay Cabot been around the Browns for a long time. Hello,

556
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: Mary Kay, thank you for joining us today. John Murphy

Speaker 1: and Chris Brown up here in Buffalo, thanks coming on,

558
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, guys. Is an exaggeration to say

559
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: the Browns have become the new America's team. Well, they're

560
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: getting close. Yeah, it is exaggeration. I've just testing you there.

561
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy though not quite yet, but they sure

562
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: are the it teams this offseason teams here. You know,

563
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: there are others. I mean, there's still so much buzz

564
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and of course there's

565
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots and things like that. But the

566
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: Browns are definitely climbing up the popular meter. Absolutely, is

567
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: there the thing that I think has gone by the

568
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: board a little bit, Mary Kay. And everybody's all excited about,

569
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, the personnel editions, and I totally get it,

570
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: especially when you have some that are as polarizing as OBJ.

571
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: But the coaching staff that Kitchens has put together not

572
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of high profile names at all, maybe with

573
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: the exception to Steve Wilkes, who you know, was one

574
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: and done in Arizona last year, but has thought of

575
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: as a good coordinator. What has been the general assessment

576
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: of the staff that Kitchens has put together there in

577
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland on the part of you and your colleagues, They

578
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: are really really excited about this staff. It brings a

579
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: blend of experience with guys like James Campins coming in

580
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: from the Green Bay Packers. There's some real use on

581
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, with guys like Pashnapois who came from

582
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: Alabama to coach the defensive wine. You know, as you mentioned,

583
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Steve Blikes, a defensive coordinator, has been a head coach before.

584
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Todd Muntin, the offensive coordinator, has interviewed for head coaching

585
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: jobs already and did a fabulous job as a play

586
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: caller in Tampa last year. So I think it's a

587
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: really exciting staff and I'm anxious to see how this

588
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: turns out and where they all end up in five

589
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: or six years. Mary Kay, Freddy Kitchens is first year

590
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: head coach, got a lot to deal with, and it

591
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: seems like he's already started to deal with it. To

592
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: tell us about what he got. Nine of the ten

593
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: OTA's done so far, and how many has Odell Beckham

594
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: attended so far? Well, he's only attended one and he

595
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: also skipped a voluntary mini camp, the extra mini camp

596
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: given to new head coaches, so he didn't attend that.

597
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: So if you look at the twelve practices, forget about

598
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: the conditioning program, but if you just look at the

599
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: twelve practices where you could go oftense versus defense, get

600
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: out there and install the schemes and those sorts of things,

601
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: he's only been to one of those twelve. And I

602
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: really believe that the Browns would have liked to have

603
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: seen him, and they've basically stated this, they would have

604
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: liked to have seen him at more than that. One

605
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: is really not what they were anticipating. And I think

606
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: it was it can go down there somewhat of the disappointment.

607
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: And so what we make in Freddie Kitchens comment that

608
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, when he's asked what he's missed, he says

609
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: a lot, he missed the offense. What do you make

610
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: of that? Well, I think he finally decided that he

611
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: was going to spend a little bit of a message

612
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: now that okas are over, and I think he waited

613
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: until the end because you know, who knows. If he

614
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: would have shown up for the three practices this week

615
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: heading into the mini camp, you know, maybe that would

616
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: have changed to the perception a little. But he didn't

617
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: show up for any of those, and I think, and

618
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: he hasn't been here for over two weeks, and I

619
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: just think that that just didn't fit that well with

620
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: Freddie and I think he's finally got to the point

621
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: one he just wanted to express that. So what is

622
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: what's your take though, Mary kay On? You know, we

623
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: know that Beckham is a mercurial personality to say the least.

624
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: I know he's got a very close personal friend in

625
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry on that roster, with both of those guys

626
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: knowing each other for years. But does the Browns organization

627
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: feel they have the locker room culture or a coach

628
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: on staff that can really kind of keep Beckham in

629
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: his lane, so to speak, where he's not straying off

630
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: or popping off or doing something silly off the field. Yes,

631
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, they've got his college wide receivers coach Adam

632
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Henry here. He also coached him in New York, and

633
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: he coached Jarvis Landry at LSU as well. So they

634
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: feel very confident that Adam Henry can kind of help

635
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: keep Odell where he needs to be, kind of keep

636
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: his head on straight a little bit and make sure

637
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: that he's on the right track with everything both on

638
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: the field and off the field. And he's been in

639
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: constant contact with O'Dell. And you know, let me, I

640
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: want to make something perfectly clearer. I don't think anybody

641
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: really thinks that Odell isn't going to be a full

642
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Bowl player because he missed Ota. I don't think anybody

643
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: thinks he's going to forget how to make a spectacular

644
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: one hand in grab because he missed Oates. That's really

645
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: not the point. I think the point is it's a

646
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: new offense that they're installing, it's new teammates, a new

647
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: head coach, and really an opportunity to show that you

648
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: know that you are here, that you're committed, and that

649
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: you're willing to do whatever it takes to get this

650
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: team where it wants to go. I wonder, Mary, Kay,

651
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: and you can correct me if I'm wrong. If the

652
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: question is also, does Freddie Kitchens have the leadership potential

653
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: to bring this you know, kind of a group together,

654
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, in his first year as head coach. Anybody

655
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: worried about that, do you think? No, I don't think

656
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 1: anybody's worried about that. I think he does have that,

657
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: But I think there will be a learning curve, and

658
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: there always is a learning curve for a first time

659
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: head coach in terms of some of that kind of stuff.

660
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's where Steve Wilkes will come in

661
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: handy in terms of just, you know, being a little

662
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: bit of an advisor in that way. And here's the

663
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: other thing that a lot of coaches that come through Cleveland,

664
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: they it hits them like a ton of bricks. Cleveland

665
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: is a very he's scrutinized and big media markets. Even

666
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Mike Preefer, the Special team's coach, during his press conference

667
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: the other day, noted he looked out and he saw

668
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty reporters and you know, twelve or thirteen cameras, and

669
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: he's like, Wow, only three people used to show up

670
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: in Minnesota when I did these. So it's just a

671
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: different ball game here. It's not necessarily New York. It

672
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: might not even be Dallas, but it's right up there

673
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: in the top five in terms of media coverage, media scrutiny,

674
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: and whatever is said in Cleveland. As you guys well know,

675
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: it gets completely put out there very quickly in a

676
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: big way, and it's all over the place. What I

677
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: mentioned Jarvis Landry, I know he's dealing with an injury.

678
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: It's not looking like he's going to do anything in

679
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: mini camp. That's correct, and I think that's another reason

680
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: why it would have been imperative for Odell. And I'm

681
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: not saying that he should have been here for all

682
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: twelve of those practices we've discussed, but I think it

683
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: would have helped the whole situation if he would have

684
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: been here for maybe half of those, because again, Jarvis

685
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: is not out there. But Jarvis already has a chemistry

686
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield. Odell doesn't have that yet, and it

687
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: won't take long to get it between those two guys

688
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: because Baker's so accurate and Odell's so good. I mean,

689
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: it's going to just be like going out and playing

690
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: backyard football between the two of them, I'm sure. But

691
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: I think it would have helped the situation a lot,

692
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: in part because Jarvis is out with some kind of

693
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: a minor injury and is going to miss that many

694
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: camp next week. Mary kay in all of your years

695
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: covering the Browns. I want to see if you can

696
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: fill in this sentence, complete the sentence. Baker Mayfield has

697
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: a potential to be Cleveland's best quarterback since who well,

698
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: certainly since Bernie Ko's are I mean, Baker Mayfield is

699
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: a phenomenal quarterback. I mean I'm watching I think I'm

700
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: watching the beginnings of real greatness here and who knows

701
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: where this thing can go. I mean there's times I

702
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: look out there and I do see shades of Brett Farves,

703
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: the way he can run around and he's elusive and

704
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: make plays, and he's a gutsy and when he's on

705
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: the run, he can nail it. I mean, he is

706
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: so accurate and a lot of kids as they think

707
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: you can't coach accuracy. Now, I don't know if I

708
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: firmly believe that or not. If as I do think

709
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: that you can improve your accuracy significantly once you get

710
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: to the NFL, and I think you guys will see

711
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: that with Josh Allen as you go along. But Baker

712
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: has an innate ability to throw that football like few

713
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: I've seen before. And therefore, when I look out there

714
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: and with the talent around him, I see the potential

715
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: for something truly special. Here another Baker question, Mary Kate.

716
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: Seems to me from when you're close to it, obviously,

717
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: but it seems to me from the outside perspective, he's

718
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: got kind of an outspoken, prickly style of leadership that

719
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: resonates with his teammates. Right. Is that accurate? Yes, that's

720
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: absolutely accurate. That's who Baker is. It's part of his persona,

721
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: and it just puted the brand. It's part of the

722
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield brand. It's why you see him going head

723
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: to head right now with Colin Cowherd, which you know,

724
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: some people might think that's an odd thing to do,

725
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: but I think it's I think it's part of what

726
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: he's trying to sell about himself, that he wears a

727
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder, that he's a tough guy, that

728
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: he's not going to take anything from anybody, that it's

729
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: us against the world. And this is all part of

730
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: what you get with Baker. What about you know, the

731
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson is like not there. They were talking about

732
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: trading him. People are wondering if he's going to hold out,

733
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: where where is what's the latest with this guy? Well?

734
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: They Frank Kitchen suggest say he expects Duke to be

735
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: at the mandatory minicamp next week. Just because he expects

736
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: him to be there doesn't mean he is going to

737
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: be there. He seems to think that he is going

738
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: to be there. I can't say for sure if he

739
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: is or not, because I can't reach anybody anymore in

740
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: Duke's camp. People that used to, uh, you know, kind

741
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: of communicate about all of this and let you sort

742
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: of know what's going on. I'm not having that kind

743
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: of access right now, so I don't really know what

744
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: his plans are. I've heard it both ways. I've had

745
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 1: people tell me, no, he's not planning on setting foot

746
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: and Burrey anymore. I've got other people say when he's

747
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: going to show up for mandatory mini camp and you know,

748
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: try to do his job the way he's always done

749
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: his job before. So we will find out next Tuesday.

750
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: So do you think he was maybe before uh, you know,

751
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: the access dropped off a cliff. Do you did you

752
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: get the sense at all that you know he was

753
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: bothered by the other acquisitions, whether it's Kareem Hunt or

754
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: anything else, you know at his position, I mean, was

755
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: that was that a part of the issue or Is

756
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: this a money thing, do you think? No, I that

757
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: is part of the issue. I mean, and I have

758
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: reported that he's asked to be traded, and so it

759
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: all ties into that and to the fact that you know,

760
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: now they've got Kareem Hunt, they have a surplus at

761
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: running back. He really wasn't jus last year very much

762
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season, and it was

763
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: doesn't see great things ahead, you know, John Dorsey said

764
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: when asked about if Duke was expendabil he said, not yet.

765
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: This was the day that he for us signing Kareem Hunt.

766
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, he hears that. And Duke

767
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: is like a prince, a very principal of young master.

768
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: Here's something I thought. I'm sure and he's thinking, well,

769
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: if you're going to trade me, just do it now,

770
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: don't wait until Kareem Hunt. Hunt gets back in week night,

771
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: Mary Kay got one more for you, and it's in

772
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: relation to the announcement last week that the Browns are

773
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: going to host the NFL Draft in twenty twenty one.

774
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: I got thinking about that, if Cleveland can do it,

775
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: then whining out Buffalo someday, that's good for all of us.

776
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the folks in Cleveland are excited about

777
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: the draft coming to town in a couple of years. Oh,

778
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: extremely excited. And I think that Cleveland is going to

779
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: knock the draft right out of the park. I think

780
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: it's going to be an amazing NFL Draft. I think

781
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: some people who haven't been to Cleveland before will be

782
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: pleasantly surparting. Of course, the weather has to cooperate order

783
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: for it to work out. I mean, yet, at that

784
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: time of year, you can either have you know, eight

785
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: inches of snow or you can have a sixty degree day.

786
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: You never really know what you're going to get, as

787
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: you guys, Yeah, you're talking about what you think both. Yeah,

788
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: But there are so many cool venues around here. You know,

789
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: it's the Rocking Mall Hall of Fame right on the lake. There.

790
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: There are a lot of great places to uh, you know,

791
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: to have events downtown, and I think that people will

792
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: flood in from all over the place. And you know,

793
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland hosts recently hosted the r ANDCUM There's a lot

794
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: of other big sporting events going on here in the

795
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball All Star Games and things like that.

796
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: So I think that Cleveland will put on a really

797
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: nice show for everyone do too, Mary Kay, thanks for this.

798
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Thanks Mary Kay. Cabin

Speaker 1: beat reporter for Cleveland dot Com covers the Browns Brown's

800
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: annos for wk YCTV and NBCSN joining us on the line.

801
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. Did I talk to you about this?

802
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: And maybe it was with Steve. Somebody asked me last

803
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: week before those meetings, you think Buffalo could ever host

804
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: the draft? And I was like no, and then Cleveland

805
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: got it and I thought, Okay, maybe right, Buffalo could

806
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: host the draft if Cleveland gets it right. We're pretty similar, right,

807
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: and you know, Buffalo Cleveland. I'm trying to think, like

808
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: which towns are considered football towns first and foremost, and

809
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: I think I think Cleveland, Cleveland falls into that category clearly.

810
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo does Green Bay. Green Bay. Yeah, they don't really

811
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: have anything else, but you know, I think those are

812
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: kind are the kinds of atmospheres that appeal to the

813
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: league when they are looking for potential sites for the

814
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. What cities are true first and foremost football

815
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: cities where there is going to be an appetite to

816
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: be around and create an atmosphere that plays well on

817
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: television for the league and its product, and I think

818
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo would fall into that category. On hundred. Thank you

Speaker 1: We're forty two holes in. Wow, how do you feel

858
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,880

859
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: we're in carts and they've got because of course, is

860
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: a little bit wet, as you can imagine, they shorten

861
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: it up a little bit, so some of the tea

862
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: boxes are up a little bit. But my partner's already

863
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: sitting watching me drive were every round we take, we

864
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: do a different format and it's, uh, you know, kind

865
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: of turns from an individual thing into a team thing

866
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: where you have a shamble format, a scramble format, and

867
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: a best ball format and we switch every eighteen. So

868
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: if we're doing any kind of team format, he sits

869
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: in the cart while I make the big swing, so

870
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: he saves his back. Gotcha. Do they have massage available

871
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: for you or any kind of backrubs or anything. No,

872
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: but that is a great idea. I smell a sponsorship. Yeah,

873
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, I'm telling you. I was talking to

874
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: murf earlier. I was like, they gotta be doing like

875
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: best ball where hey, somebody hits a good one off

876
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: the tea box, We're going with that one, like you know,

877
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: we're not We're not even gonna take a swing here.

878
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: We're going with that one. That's good enough. Let's move

879
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 1: on down the line here and hop in the cart.

880
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I could save you fifty sixty strokes right there. Yeah,

881
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: it does. We the first eighteen everybody played their own

882
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 1: ball all the way around, and then the next one

883
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: was a two man uh scramble you know where you hit,

884
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: you know each you know you hit as a team.

885
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: And then now we are in the middle of a

886
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: shamble format where they take the best drive and then

887
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: everybody plays their own own shot into the whole there

888
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: and it's a one score for team uh format there.

889
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, we're in the midst of it, and

926
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: worrying about my arm falling off after. I mean, golf

927
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,480

00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: manage eighteen holes of shit chat about and I can't

929
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,359

974
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: lead in the NBA Finals. Coby Leonard with twenty three points.

975

979
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,200

981
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: Wood back in studio with us. Eric, welcome, Welcome up here. Yeah,

982
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Trying to be back. Eric

983
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: came up for a little golf, will being the Jim

984
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: Kelly Tournament on Monday. Also game up, so you know

985
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: I can do a little practice radio. We sat in

986
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: front of a monitor this morning and did them almost

987
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: the whole first half of The Bill's Dolphins game last week.

988
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: Are you ready? You're ready for the first game? Yeah,

989
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm ready to roll. No. Yeah, it's it's tough to

990
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: do it out of the elements, for sure, without the

991
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: crowd noise to create that natural enthusiasm. You know, we

992
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: were finding hiccups with you know, I couldn't tell when

993
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: the team was breaking the huddle to know when it

994
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: was time for me to transition out because we're watching

995
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: a replay and they're you know, we're watching a replay

996
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: of the game where they're showing replace. So it presents

997
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: the challenges, but I'm glad we're doing it. And you know,

998
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: as a player, and we talked about this a couple

999
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: weeks ago. As a player, I never wanted to put

1000
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: anything out on film during the preseason at any time ever,

1001
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: much less the preseason that would work against me. And

1002
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: I want to take the same approach to broadcasting. You

1003
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: know what I like. And I've noticed this over the years,

1004
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: working with you today in our practice game, working with

1005
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: the tasker, working with Mark Counsel, even with Alex van

1006
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: Help fifteen years ago. You guys know how to practice,

1007
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Players know how to practice,

1008
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: how to prepare to get ready to do a game,

1009
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: and that that's a big advent. A lot of people

1010
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: are like a practice, I don't need practice, but you

1011
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: guys think it's important and you do a good job. Absolutely,

1012
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: and that's all we've known our whole lives. Yeah, and

1013
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: I also want coaching. So when I told you, hey,

1014
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: I need feedback early and often. You know, this is

1015
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: my first year in the booth, this is your sixteenth

1016
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: year doing Bill's Radio. So you tell me and I'll

1017
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 1: be coachable because as a player, that's how I've responded,

1018
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, through college and NFL. I was, you know,

1019
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: that was fourteen years of getting very good coaching, and

1020
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: I understand that's what got me to the point of

1021
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: my career where where I ended. And I'd like to

1022
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: take that same approach. I would tell you right now

1023
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: on the air, Yeah, absolutely, knowing that everybody else could

1024
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: pick it apart too. I know. Game one is you know,

1025
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: a little ways down the line here, and you guys

1026
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: will get more reps you know, so to speak before

1027
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: you get there. But are you anticipating that you'll have

1028
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: the same kind of butterflies that you know you had

1029
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: as a player when you're coming out of the time

1030
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: on a Sunday a little different? You know, my competition

1031
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: isn't the guy necessarily I'm going against, um, you know,

1032
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: it's how prepared are you? You know where the situations

1033
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: that are going to come up throughout the game, And yeah,

1034
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: there will be some butterflies. And one of my favorite

1035
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: things about doing the game I did last year for

1036
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: Fox was that, you know, before the game, people reached

1037
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: out and it kind of felt like a game day atmosphere,

1038
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: and I spent all week preparing for the game trying

1039
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 1: to learn two college rosters I had no idea about

1040
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: in advance. Luckily, this year with the Bills, you know,

1041
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: I'll at least know the Bill's roster week to week

1042
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: for the most part, and a lot of the names

1043
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,959
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with, so that that'll help. But yeah, it's

1044
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: it's it's something new and the order that I got

1045
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: in my career, the butterflies kind of changed where you know,

1046
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't necessarily worried about maybe blocking a guy I

1047
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: was worried about, you know, we have to get this

1048
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: win to stay in the playoff, hunter or whatever it

1049
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: may be. So but to answer your question, yeah, I'm

1050
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: sure there will be butterflies. There's a question that you

1051
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: may be better suited to answer at the end of

1052
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: this year as you get into this broadcast thing. But

1053
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: I used to tell people in terms of depth of

1054
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: involvement in the game, obviously the players are number one

1055
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: most involved, then the coaching staff, and I kind of

1056
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: used to think, and I still do. Broadcasters are kind

1057
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: of the next circle, you know what I mean. You

1058
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: have to watch it played by play. You have to

1059
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: think about it before and during, and you prepare and

1060
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: you think you know what's gonna happen. You really don't,

1061
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: and stuff happens quickly during the games. You'll find that

1062
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: to be the case. But am I accurate? I mean

1063
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: you're not playing, you're not coaching. This is probably the

1064
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: next circle, you know, concentric circles of involving in the game. Yeah,

1065
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: And I've never thought about it in that way, but yeah,

1066
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, because even within the building, you have your trainers,

1067
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: and you have your marketing department, and you have your

1068
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: equipment staff, but they're not involved in it, and they

1069
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: don't need to breakdown film. They need to be good

1070
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: at what they do. You know, as a broadcaster, you

1071
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: have to understand the roster, You have to understand the plays.

1072
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: You have to the the overall schemes that they're trying

1073
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: to get across week to week, whatever strategies they want

1074
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: to implement. You have to be so and tuned on

1075
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: that to to be able to inform the audience, um that, Yeah,

1076
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: you better be that next that next circle out, we're

1077
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: talking to Eric Wood. We'll get back to we'll do

1078
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: this after our show ends. And three we'll go back

1079
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: to the Bills Dolphins last December thirtieth game. Here the

1080
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: builds one turns out. Yeah, you know, I want a bat.

1081
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: I'll have a bat. Chris said something during the break,

1082
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: and he's right. You know, we're doing last year's game,

1083
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: last year's rosters, last year's depth chart. It looks a

1084
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: little bit different going into twenty nineteen, doesn't it For

1085
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I mean, there's a lot of turnover here.

1086
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: You see it out there, it does. Yeah. So I

1087
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: went from watching that game from December thirtieth straight to

1088
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: the practice field to take in some Bills football from

1089
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: this year, and there's a whole lot of turnover, a

1090
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: lot of new faces. Uh, you know, and that's a

1091
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: good and bad thing, you know that they I feel

1092
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: like they've upgraded the roster. They truly have. They've added

1093
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: so much talent to this roster, so much experience to

1094
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: this roster from a year ago. You know, you you

1095
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: lose your maybe your most experienced guy and Kyle Williams,

1096
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: but you add a lot of experience as well, and

1097
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to gel though, and it makes

1098
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: it tough on guys. I got to learn all the

1099
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: different stories and people producing content like Chris, there's a

1100
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of fresh there's a lot

1101
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: to work where there's a lot of fresh stories. For

1102
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: about of June coming up, it might be otherwise a

1103
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: little day great for me. I mean, I'm not going

1104
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: to complain at all when we got people rolling in

1105
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: like we did with free agency and then the draft

1106
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: after that. UM, I want to know, can you remember,

1107
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: because you know, being being one of the few constants

1108
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: on the offensive line for as long as you were,

1109
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: can you think off the top of your head the

1110
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: most new guys that you had to blend into the

1111
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: starting five in your nine seasons here that you know

1112
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: you guys had to work in maybe from one year

1113
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: to the next year. Because we're probably looking at what's

1114
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: going to be eighty percent new offensive line. It's gonna

1115
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: be Dion Dawkins and four new guys, right, what can

1116
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: you recall maybe the most new guys you had to

1117
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: plug in from one year to the next. I can't

1118
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 1: be more than two. Ken It I was having trouble thinking, well,

1119
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: I I can think of three off the top of

1120
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: my head. The year Cromer came in, we brought in Ritchie, Okay,

1121
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: we brought in John Miller started as a rookie, and

1122
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: then Jordan Mills. It was with Cromer. I'm trying to

1123
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: think for my rookie year to start the year lengths

1124
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: to Walker was out there, but we cut him into

1125
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: Demetrius Bell started the year of left tackle, and then

1126
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: it was you and Andy and me and Andy, and

1127
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: then I guess the following year, Demetrius still played. There

1128
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: was a ton of turnover within that room, but I

1129
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: guess there was three returning starters because Brad Butler retired

1130
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: and Jeff han Gardner and Herbic kind of so what

1131
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: So maybe just for the fans to explain to them, like,

1132
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: what are the biggest challenges for a group that has

1133
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: to be operating so in sync to blend all that together?

1134
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: And I think this group is helped by the fact

1135
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 1: that there are experienced guys stepping in who have started elsewhere,

1136
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: and that's got to help. Obviously Moore's long spain. I mean,

1137
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: all these guys have started what is the number one thing.

1138
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: The guys this time of year are trying to get

1139
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: nailed down or buttoned up, however you want to say it.

1140
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: So they get to training camp and they can just

1141
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of go, yeah, Well, the new guys in the

1142
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: building are trying to learn the offense. This is year

1143
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: two for some of the guys in that old line room,

1144
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: but it's year one for a lot of them, including

1145
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: the coaches. So they're trying to get this offense down,

1146
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: learn all the nuances of it. You know, there's a

1147
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: lot that can be taken away from playing football in

1148
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: notepads for offensive linemen, but ultimately, your job is to

1149
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: physically manhandle somebody up front, and you can't necessarily do

1150
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: it that this time of year. So from a mental standpoint,

1151
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: from a technique standpoint, you're trying to make as much

1152
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: as you can muscle memory, so when it comes down

1153
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 1: to blocking somebody in AUGUSTA, you don't have to think about, now,

1154
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: what was this call again? What what foot do I

1155
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: step with? Where do I step here? Where I place

1156
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: my hands? You need to make all that muscle memory

1157
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: over the summer, and then as far as jelling as

1158
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: a group, probably the best line I played on was

1159
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: that line that had three new starters come in. It

1160
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: was me and Cordy returning, but then you add an

1161
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: experienced guy like Richie. You put John Miller in there,

1162
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: who's a rookie but pretty smart on the field, and

1163
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: then you had George Millshold who had played for Cromer before,

1164
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: extremely intelligent player. When you have smart players that really

1165
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: care and they're all bought in, and then it helps

1166
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: to have some leadership. You know, with me and Ritchie

1167
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: in there, we were able to kind of direct it,

1168
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: and I think you get that in Mitch Morse. Now

1169
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: you have one solid leader in the middle where hopefully

1170
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: that speeds up the process a little bit. So just

1171
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: because I was talking to Spencer Long the other day,

1172
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: I was telling Murf this earlier on the show, and

1173
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: he was saying, Look, what we're trying to do now

1174
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: is learn how to work off each other, Like you

1175
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: know those combo blocks that you guys have to execute.

1176
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: They want to know how they're going to play off

1177
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: each other because they are new to one another. Even

1178
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 1: though it's not padded football here, they can walk through

1179
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: those things in this kind of a setting, right, so

1180
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: they know I'm going to reach here first, and then

1181
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you to help you here. They can

1182
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: walk through all of that and get the motor memory

1183
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: down now, right, So when they get the pads on,

1184
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: it's old hat, yeah for sure. And a lot of

1185
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: that's done in your individual instruction at the beginning of practice.

1186
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: And that is similar to what we would do in

1187
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: training camp. You know, we're not truly teeing off on

1188
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: our own guys. Even in training camp when we do

1189
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: have pads on, I say, our own guys, you're always

1190
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: going against the Buffalo Bills, our own guys. We're not

1191
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: trying to beat up the offensive line before we even

1192
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: have to go against the defense. So they can do

1193
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: a lot of that this time of year, and that

1194
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: is extremely valuable. And that's a great point, those combination blocks.

1195
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: If you've never blocked with somebody before and played next

1196
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: to him in a live setting, you need to figure

1197
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: it out because you can't do it on game days.

1198
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: And like that earlier about preseason, This preseason is going

1199
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: to be so valuable for this offensive line because a

1200
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are either a competing for a

1201
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: starting spot or beat a roster spot. There's gonna be

1202
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: guys cut that have starting experience in the NFL, and

1203
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: you don't see that a lot of times that we

1204
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: talked about a couple of weeks on the show. I

1205
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: would bet there's offensive line and that we end up

1206
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: cutting shoot that might even start play somewhere else. They

1207
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: might even start the year on another starting five. But

1208
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: there will be guys picked up in play other places.

1209
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: We're with Eric Wood, former Bills offensive lineman, the new

1210
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: color analysts on the Bills Radio network. If we have

1211
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: a commenter question for Eric, We've got fall lines open

1212
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: eight three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

1213
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Can I get you in

1214
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: on our Twitter poll today, Erica, you would have something

1215
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: to say about this. I think you're ready, Charlotte. We

1216
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: got more than fourteen hundred votes responding to this, what's

1217
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: the smartest move the Bills made this offseason? We put

1218
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: some choices up for a Twitter poll, and seventy four

1219
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: percent say remaking the offensive line is the smartest move

1220
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: the Bills have made this offensive this offseason. Rather, twenty

1221
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: two percent say drafting and Oliver. Only three percent say

1222
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: the changes to the coaching staff. Two percent have something

1223
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: else in mind. If you're listening, if you have a thought,

1224
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: give us a call eight O three oh five fifty

1225
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1226
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: Are you automatically going to say remaking the offensive? Yeah,

1227
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: that kind of goes both ways. I almost feel like

1228
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: I got to defend last year's group, So maybe maybe

1229
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Uh No, I mean

1230
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: I think I think it's extremely valuable to add a

1231
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: bunch of new pieces up in front of Josh Allen

1232
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: to you know, the offensive line struggle last year. They

1233
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: needed to improve there. And when you have Josh Allen

1234
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: and you got your franchise quarterback out there, rolling him

1235
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: out there a week week to week, you cannot have

1236
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: poor O line play in front of him. And if

1237
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: you want to see him make that next jump, that

1238
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: was valuable. You know you had some pieces on the

1239
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: outside for him. And then, um, you know, drafting at

1240
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: Oliver is a great decision. But maner, yes, a no brainer. O.

1241
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Our biggest position of need with Kyle departing on defense,

1242
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: our biggest need on defense was probably sitting there for

1243
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: the three technique position. And you you get at Oliver,

1244
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: who is mini Kyle Wood. You know, he's like a

1245
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams type and explosive, active defensive tackle a touch undersized,

1246
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: which I don't even necess think is a bad thing

1247
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: for a three technique because you generally play in enough

1248
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: space that it doesn't hurt you. And those guys are

1249
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: tougher to block. Your big slugs I've always thought were

1250
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: little eiser to block. And you have this guy with

1251
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: this lateral quickness, his movement ability, a guy who I've

1252
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: watched since he was eighteen, and he destroyed my Louisville Cardinals.

1253
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's almost a no brainer because

1254
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: he and I think a lot of people do have

1255
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: some trepidation about that with his size, and if you

1256
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: get up next to him, yeah, I mean you can

1257
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: understand why he's labeled that way. But man, I mean

1258
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I think we all remember how quick Kyle would get

1259
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: off the ball. And you probably saw, well you probably

1260
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't watch too much in the film there for that

1261
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: side of the ball for them, but I mean he's

1262
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: off the snap a quarter second before you know the

1263
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: center's barely got the ball out of his hand. Oliver's

1264
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: got that kind of get off. Where does that make life?

1265
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Difficult for the offensive lineman the most when you know

1266
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: he's coming that fast. Well, well, I'll to your point

1267
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: about the size Kyle Williams. You know Kyle Williams when

1268
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: he walks into room, isn't he doesn't have the same

1269
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: impression that Marcus Stroud had. But I would argue, but

1270
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I would argue that Kyle was ten times tough for

1271
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: the block based upon you know, a lot that he

1272
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: brought to the table that Ed also brings. The snap

1273
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: get off is something that Kyle mastered over the years,

1274
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and that was through tons of film study, which is

1275
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: something Ed's going to have to look at because there's

1276
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot of very quick players on defensive lines that

1277
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: don't get off the ball quite like Kyle does. And

1278
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: that's understanding snap counts and maybe a little bit of

1279
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: motion that a quarterback makes right before he's going to

1280
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: get a snap that Kyle's not even listening. Kyle's watching

1281
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: his bottom hand to barely open up, and he's jumping

1282
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the snap because if that quarterback's done it for years

1283
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: the same way, he's going to continue to do it. Now.

1284
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: Kyle's gotten a few houtsides in his career too doing

1285
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But he affects a ball game

1286
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot more than one or two five yard

1287
01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: penalties throughout a season. But you know, when the defensive

1288
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: line can penetrate and to beat you to your technique.

1289
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: If you're under size, but a guy gets way into

1290
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: you and you can't get your hands on him or

1291
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: in the right placement, if you can't get under him,

1292
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: it does you no good. It doesn't matter how big,

1293
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: how strong you are. If a guy gets into you

1294
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: that quick, it's tough. And you see with Aaron Donald,

1295
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: you know at times, yeah, an offensive linement will catch

1296
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: him and they'll make a big deal about it. On Sunday,

1297
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: here's the best player in football getting driven off the

1298
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: ball five yards, but nine out of the other ten plays,

1299
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: that guy is disrupting the football game. Eric, when the

1300
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: Bills wrap up today, they will have completed six of

1301
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: ten OTAs four next week. You know, we don't take

1302
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: a tendance, but it appears that it's very strong intendance

1303
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: in these voluntary workouts. Was it always that way when

1304
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: you were here those nine years for the most part

1305
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: of the voluntary workouts, were most players here it was?

1306
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of that was

1307
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: competition year to year for positions. You know, when there's

1308
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff in town or or there's some

1309
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: jobs up for grabs, guys want to go out and

1310
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: earn those they're not gonna miss. But you know, just

1311
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: walking off there actors Field, one thing that stuck out

1312
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: to me is you have Frank Gore, future Hall of Famer,

1313
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: who really doesn't need to be here. We all know

1314
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: what he can do. He's put it on film for

1315
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: many many years, and from what I've heard from talking

1316
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: to guys, one of the first ones in the building

1317
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: definitely the last one to leave the building each day,

1318
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: and that's extremely impressive to me. And then he was

1319
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: out there and he's so competitive. He's worried about them

1320
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: getting in a rhythm running the football and in a

1321
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: team setting, And to me, that just struck me. And

1322
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: it's a very healthy thing for a football team when

1323
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: one of your most veteran guys cares that much about OTAs.

1324
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: Have you talked to Ritchie since he signed? I mean,

1325
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: he's out there in Oakland now. As we saw it

1326
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: earlier this week, I mean it looked like it was

1327
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: going to happen. It finally did happen. Is he all

1328
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: pumped up and ready to go again. He is, and

1329
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: he knows that he's got to make the most of

1330
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: this opportunity. He's very excited. He's very grateful for the opportunity.

1331
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: He's in a great place right now. He seems to

1332
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: be in great shape. He's already working with the first

1333
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: team offense after being in the building for two days,

1334
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: which which shows you a how smart he is be

1335
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: what type of player he is. But I think he's

1336
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: got some left in the tank as well as a ballplayer,

1337
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: and really really excited for him to put some of

1338
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: the stuff from the past behind him again and to

1339
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: show truly who he is as a person and bounce

1340
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: back from this and show what somebody can do with

1341
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a fresh start if they take it serious and make

1342
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: the most of it. I kind of get the sense

1343
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: that he and Gruden are kind of cut from the

1344
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: same cloth, Like you know what I mean, They kind

1345
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: of look at the game the same way. And I

1346
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: don't know, I just I feel like their personalities are

1347
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna mesh pretty well. They will. And I've spent limited

1348
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: time around Gruden. He was at the Pro Bowl the

1349
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: whole week I was out there had some production meetings

1350
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: with him. But I've seen him on TV a lot.

1351
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: I've seen him a lot as announcer or heard a

1352
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: lot about him. And then I've played for a number

1353
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: of coaches that coached for him. So you're probably accurate

1354
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,919
Speaker 1: in your assessment. Richie Incognito's troubles well documented. Your friend

1355
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: of him for a couple of years now, But I

1356
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: always felt like his Yes, he's a good player, went

1357
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl. I always felt like as a

1358
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: leader he was sort of maybe still is underrated in

1359
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. His leadership style is not conventional now with

1360
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: you number, but he's got kind of a weird, quirky

1361
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: way of getting people to kind of rally around him.

1362
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: I thought, in some way, it's amazing how many teammates

1363
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: go to bat for him. Yeah, and how close he

1364
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: is with everyone on the team. And you know, Richie's

1365
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: not married, he doesn't have kids, so for him, you know,

1366
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: he'll often take young guys on the team under his wing.

1367
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 1: You know, Dion Dawkins had an incredible rookie year two

1368
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: seasons ago playing left tackle for US. A lot of

1369
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: that's because he spent so much time with Ritchie and

1370
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: Richie would have his pt girl that he flew in

1371
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: from Arizona every week. You know, she was working on

1372
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: a number of guys on the team and helping guys

1373
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: get fresh. Richie would have nutrition stuff for guys. You know,

1374
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: he taught guys into going out to Exos to train

1375
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: in the off season with him. So he would do

1376
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot for guys that goes that goes completely unnoticed,

1377
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: um and doesn't get put um on the Pro Football talker. Yeah,

1378
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: anything else like that, um, which which probably would help

1379
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: his cause if it did. Yeah. A couple of minutes

1380
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: left with Eric Wood, I want to ask you about

1381
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: your Memorial Day weekend. You did what is called the

1382
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Murph workout. Nothing to do with me. One mile run,

1383
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: one mile run, one hundred pulled ups, two hundred push ups,

1384
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: three hundred squats, and another one mile run with a

1385
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: twenty pound vest. Uh what's it all about? What did

1386
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: you do? Um? Yeah, so that's a military based workout. Yeah.

1387
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: There's a picture of me and my wife and my

1388
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: two kids after I did it. I was the only

1389
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: one in the family to uh to compete in. It's hard,

1390
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: but uh it is. We had We had about one

1391
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 1: hundred people come out to our gym that day and

1392
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: do it, and it's a military appreciation deal. You we

1393
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: put up some money to do it. All that money

1394
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: went straight to um UH Sergeant Murphy's UH foundation that

1395
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: he has. But really fun day, I say really fun

1396
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: day was really fun after it was over. It's stunk

1397
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: while doing it, but it was fun to get out

1398
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: and compete and shoot. When you're a retired pro athlete,

1399
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: you look for excuses like that to go compete with

1400
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine other people and go get after it. I

1401
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: tried to do it over the country. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

1402
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: referring to the hundred people in our gym, but people

1403
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: did it all over the country. A lot of the

1404
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: CrossFit box gyms do this, and I tried to do

1405
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: it a couple of years ago. I got crushed on

1406
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: the pull ups, Like I can do it. I was

1407
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: able to do like a set of ten and then rest,

1408
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: but then you get to that fourth set of ten,

1409
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: It's like I can't. I'm gonna need some assistance here

1410
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: with a band or whatever. So I had to put

1411
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: the band on and to get the hundred pull ups

1412
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: out because it was too hard. The push ups were fine.

1413
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: The squats are fine, the run's fine. It's those pull

1414
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: ups that get everybody. I said the same thing some

1415
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: of the guys, some of the old alignemen, were asking

1416
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: me about it at practice during one of their water breaks, saying,

1417
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: what was the hardest part of that was at the run?

1418
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, I said, no, even though I've lost forty

1419
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: fifty pounds, the pull ups is by far the hardesty.

1420
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: You're here this weekend. We're doing our practice game this

1421
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: morning and again this afternoon, but you're sticking around for

1422
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: a Jim Kelly. He's a golf tournament, right, Yeah. Yeah,

1423
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: And that's something I'll try to never miss. And I

1424
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: do a team. I bring up a group from Louisville

1425
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: every year. My buddies have grown to absolutely love this

1426
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: weekend coming up here as well. But you know, Jim has,

1427
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: since the day I walked in here, treated me so incredible.

1428
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: He lost the son, I lost a brother. We had

1429
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: a kind of an instant connection through that. But Jim's

1430
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: always supported me and my foundation over the years, and

1431
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: anything I can ever do to support him, I will.

1432
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: And his golf tournaments at all Timer is a lot

1433
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: of fun. There's a reason why Marino and Shooter McGavin

1434
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: and and all these guys come back for it every year.

1435
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: It is a great time. Your foundation is still up

1436
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: and running. You did that fundraising at the Beer Place

1437
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: this past year, last couple of years. Yeah, we did

1438
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 1: Flights and Bites again last year. We'll keep it rolling

1439
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know my foundation. I think we'll get

1440
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: some traction with me being back in town and hopefully definitely, um,

1441
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, be able to get going even stronger. But

1442
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: we're doing a really cool deal right now where we

1486
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: And it's really fun too. And we did. We only

1487
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: did an hour and a half or so of a

1488
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: radio practice game this morning. We'll do another hour and

1489
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 1: a half this afternoon. I like gret he had to

1490
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: say about ed Oliver two yes, and I wanted to

1491
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: get his take on that, you know, having been a

1492
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: center who's had to deal with three techniques, you know,

1493
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, and it really

1494
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: kind of speaks to the assets that ed Oliver does

1495
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: have kind of makes up for the size that he

1496
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: doesn't and when he's so quick off the ball, and

1497
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: that offensive lineman can't get his arms extended. You know.

1498
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: Now he's backed up, the leverage battles won, and he's

1499
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: on roller skates. So yeah, it's it's a different deal

1500
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Yep. Hey, let's get to our Twitter poll.

01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 1: vote just walked in the door. Josh Allen looked at

1517
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll and gave us a little fist bump.

1518
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: You think that's the smartest move the Bills and made

1519
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen happy to have you here, brother, right to

1520
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: be here. Thanks for having me. You like that? Remaking

1521
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line? That yeah, I mean, yeah, We've got

1522
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: a lot of cool different pieces now to play with

1523
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: and super happy with how we're kind of vibing as

1524
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: a team right now. In the locker room, you know

1525
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going in, you know, a lot

1526
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: of different minds trying to catch on. But you know

1527
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: we're out there competing every day against our defense, trying

1528
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: to make each other better. In the quarterback room, is

1529
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: your day different than most of these guys here and

1530
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: during OTAs? Is there more meeting time, more film study here?

1531
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that it's more. I mean we're a

1532
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: looted the same amount of time. But as quarterbacks, we're

1533
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: kind of going around. We're meeting with different groups. You know,

1534
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: we're meeting with the O line, We're meeting with the

1535
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: running back group. We're meeting with receivers and the tight ends.

1536
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: You know, so we're doing a lot more together with

1537
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: them than maybe the wide receivers and tight ends. Don't

1538
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: mean but um, it's all kind of collective collective agreement

1539
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: right now. We're all we're all trying to go through

1540
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: the same things, trying to learn. Coach Table was telling

1541
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: us last week when he talked to the media that

1542
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 1: you know, he's throwing a lot at you because he feels,

1543
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, you can handle it. You know, here in

1544
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: year two, you know the offense like the back of

1545
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: your hand now. And he was talking about how there

1546
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: have been a couple instances where he's just said here

1547
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: you take it, go call it. Do you sometimes stop

1548
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: for a second and say, man, there was no way

1549
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: I probably could have done that at this time last year,

1550
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: like just here's the keys, go and now you're just

1551
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: in a position where coaches like, go do it. Oh absolutely,

1552
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: you know the difference from this year to last year.

1553
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean obviously having the year of experience under my belt,

1554
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: being in the same system now for over a year.

1555
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: But you know when when he did that, you know,

1556
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 1: it's tough. I don't envy offensive coordinators. It's a tough

1557
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 1: to call plays and think of everything that you have

1558
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: on your call sheet and look at the down distance

1559
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: and situationally like what you want to call. You know,

1560
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. You know, it's tough to kind of

1561
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: do that engage what you want to do, but what

1562
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: overrides it is what the team needs at the time.

1563
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: So still trying to get on that same level with

1564
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Dabs and you know, he's been trusting me a lot

1565
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,679
Speaker 1: with things like that. It's been awesome. I really appreciate

1566
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: and a lot of the type of relationship that we

1567
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: have right now, and it's only going to continue to

1568
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: grow and there will be levels of that too, I'm assuming, Josh,

1569
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: because yeah, you're doing it in the practice setting. You're

1570
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: trying it on how does this fit kind of thing?

1571
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 1: What do I want to use in this down and

1572
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: distance and that, But you don't really have all the

1573
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: moving parts on the other side of the ball yet either. Now, naturally,

1574
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: you'll be prepped for it. You know, you'll be doing

1575
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: all your film study during the week for a real opponent.

1576
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: But that'll be another step in that process. If and

1577
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: when the time comes where a coach says, hey, run

1578
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 1: this two minute or whatever comes up in the regular season, right,

1579
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah's stage to it. Yeah, And like you said,

1580
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's in a game or in practice,

1581
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: you know, we communicate on our little telecope system, right

1582
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: if that goes down in the game, you know, he's

1583
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: got to be able to trust me that I feel

1584
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 1: like I know what I can call, right, And so

1585
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of why we're doing this right now to

1586
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: develop that just in case something like that happens. Bills

1587
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen in studio with us just after today's

1588
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: OTS session the six OTA four more next week. What

1589
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: were your goals going into OTAs, Josh? What did you

1590
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: want to get done in these ten workouts three weeks

1591
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: of OTA? Well, obviously, you know we come in and

1592
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: get bigger, faster, stronger as a team, developed that team

1593
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: camaraderie and really kind of dive into this playbuck a

1594
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: little more. You know, last year, I don't think I

1595
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: did enough, and you know, it's just kind of with

1596
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 1: everything going on in the NFL and your first year

1597
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of different people pulling in different directions.

1598
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: But now sitting down with Dave's and going over what

1599
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: I like, what I don't like, and he's trusting me,

1600
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, in that type of mindset where if there's

1601
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: a play that he wants to call, but I don't

1602
01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: like it, he's not going to call it, you know.

1603
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: So it's developing that trust and um, you know we

1604
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: got some guys out right now, but developing that relationship

1605
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: off the field and communicating, you know, with receivers, doubt

1606
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: what depth we want them to run the route at,

1607
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, when they should turn their eyes, the type

1608
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: of body language I hope that they give me, and

1609
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 1: where I need to put the ball. You know, it's

1610
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: the open communication that we're having. RW. It was really good.

1611
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: But your goro at this time, you're not just a rookie.

1612
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 1: You were also in a three way competition for playing time. Yeah,

1613
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,919
Speaker 1: it's different than what you're doing now right, Yeah, absolutely

1614
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: if it feels really good. You know, Um, obviously having

1615
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 1: Matt and Tyree with with us here and they've been awesome.

1616
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: You know. Matt, like I said, helped me out so

1617
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: much last year and he's going to continue to do

1618
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: so this year. And bringing in the young guy like

1619
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: Tyree who have spent a lot of time with and

1620
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: you know, how he's prepared and how he practices every day.

1621
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: It really kind of surprised me how how fast he's

1622
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: picked up things. You know, he's a super smart kid

1623
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: that he's throwing the ball really well right now. I'm

1624
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: super happy that he is with us. You A lot

1625
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: has been made of the offensive line. Heck, we're still

1626
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: talking about it today here with this Twitter poll, and

1627
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: then you know, everybody's kind of focused on how each

1628
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: of these guys are trying to learn each other and

1629
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: how to work off of one another, whether you know,

1630
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: how we're gonna do this combo block or whatever it

1631
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: might be. But I think what kind of goes by

1632
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: the board is how they got to kind of be

1633
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: on the same page with you too. So maybe just

1634
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 1: explain for the fans what your role is in helping

1635
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: that blend come together up front in front of you,

1636
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 1: like your things you do that can help them, you know,

1637
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: whether it's your cadence or getting used to your cadence

1638
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. Like well, I think it

1639
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: goes back to the communication aspect, you know, making sure

1640
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: that we clearly identify Mike if we're in a past

1641
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: protection and know what our roles are backside, if we're

1642
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: going to be hot and I have to know that

1643
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: and really that relay that to our our receivers. So

1644
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, it starts up front, It starts with those

1645
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: five old linemen, and uh, you know, we've been kind

1646
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: of piecing together a few different people in from different ways,

1647
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we got a lot of really good dudes,

1648
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: a lot of really good football players on this team

1649
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm super excited to see how this

1650
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 1: plays out. But as far as you know, meshing and

1651
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: gel with all these guys, you know, I couldn't have

1652
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: asked for, you know, a better situation. You said with Mitt,

1653
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, you said, with guys like Mitch who are

1654
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: not on the field right now repping it physically, how

1655
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: do you guys interact to kind of make up for

1656
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: those lost reps so to speak. I mean, there'll be

1657
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: enough time when you get to camp obviously to get

1658
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 1: on the same page. But what do you guys do

1659
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: now when he can physically rep it to at least

1660
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: stay I don't know, up to speed or even with

1661
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: the guys that are getting the physical rep. Well, yeah,

1662
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: the guys they're still out there at practice. You know,

1663
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: they're still watching it. Mitch is you know, behind the

1664
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 1: line the entire time, And after a set that I

1665
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: do in practice, I come off and he's like, hey,

1666
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: what did you see here? Did you why did you

1667
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: remarke it? If I remarked it, I'm just trying to

1668
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: go and you know, like I said, the center and

1669
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: the quarterback exchange, the communication has to be spot on there,

1670
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, because those two minds kind of have to

1671
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: start working together. And kind of him seeing it from

1672
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 1: an outside perspective and seeing how I see it. I

1673
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,639
Speaker 1: think that's really going to help us out, whether because

1674
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: he's not on the field right now or you can

1675
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: kind of sit back and be like, Okay, sees the

1676
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: whole picture. And like I said, we I go off

1677
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: and I talk with him, and if there's a protection

1678
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 1: situation that we have that it didn't get handled the

1679
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: right way, I go when we communicate, you know, we

1680
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: get all the centers and if I need to talk

1681
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: to anybody on the line, um, you know, they're super

1682
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: open to talk about it and try to fix this.

1683
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: And you guys are like reviewing practice tape too, and

1684
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: okay with quarterback Josh Allen. They on our Twitter poll,

1685
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: obviously the remaking the offensive line is the number one

1686
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: vote getter. And I said mentioned this to Chris Brown, Josh,

1687
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: I think the changes in the coaching staff are a

1688
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: little bit overlooked and undervalued when people look at the

1689
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Buffalo Bill's new new offensive line coach and

1690
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: new receivers coach, and you've got Ken Dorsey as a

1691
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. Now, dors has been awesome because oh my god, Yeah,

1692
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: what do you find with him? How do you like

1693
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: work with him? And I mean, so he's super energetic,

1694
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: and he's he's as competitive as they come. You know,

1695
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: he's just like us, and he's a little younger, so

1696
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: he kind of gets our generation, so to say. So

1697
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: to have him with us and the types of things

1698
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: that we talk about, Um, you know, he's been an

1699
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback before, he's seen it. He's been back there

1700
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: when bullets are firing, you know, left and right, and

1701
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: he's been in those types of situation. He's been with

1702
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: da like like we see on the screen here, and

1703
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: just the type of communication that we have, the things

1704
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 1: that he's already taught me with what defenses are trying

1705
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: to do in certain players and coverages, how they can't

1706
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 1: get beaten, what's a good option, and why we're gonna

1707
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: lert this backside post because you know, he's really good

1708
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: with all that stuff. So it's helped me out a

1709
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 1: lot already. When he got hired, I called Da to

1710
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: do a story on you know, what fans can expect

1711
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: from coach Dorsey, you know now that he's the quarterbacks

1712
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: coach here and how he can help you and stuff

1713
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,719
Speaker 1: like that, And he said, I think he just added

1714
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: when he was in Carolina as a coach, he said,

1715
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 1: I think he just added new ways for Cam to learn.

1716
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 1: The way that he runs the meetings. You don't just

1717
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: sit in there listening to him preach about a play

1718
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: or a scheme. It's very player involved. So is that

1719
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: like a Q and a kind of quiz thing or

1720
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: what does he do with you to kind of keep

1721
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: you engaged and make you an active part of the

1722
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: process instead of just sit in a chair and listening

1723
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: to him point things out on him. Well, I can't

1724
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: give all all of the secrets away, but like he said,

1725
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: he's very interactive with us and asking us questions, you know,

1726
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: every so often, making sure that we get it. You know,

1727
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: he's got a bunch of different clips that he brings

1728
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: up when he, you know, presents a play on the board.

1729
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: So you know, he brought in a separate projector in

1730
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: our room. Oh so you had two going, So we

1731
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: had two projectors going. So it's like left right, left right,

1732
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: being able to see the play and then actually getting

1733
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: to see the play being ran side by side. So

1734
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: that's been really helpful too. So like true X is

1735
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: and O is over here, but then the real deal

1736
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: over here is and Joe's going. Yeah, hey, you mentioned

1737
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: some injuries on offense, and in particular, you're down a

1738
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: couple of tight ends. So you get a chance to

1739
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: see some of the young guys. Tell us what you've

1740
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: seen and what you like maybe about Won. Two of

1741
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 1: the young guys, I mean Dawson and uh, you know Tommy,

1742
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: super awesome guys, you know, super smart. They're doing things

1743
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: the right way. They're continuing to learn, you know, Um,

1744
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: they're stepping in obviously it's kind of a big role.

1745
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: And you know they're one and two right now, m

1746
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: guys at the F position. So to see how that

1747
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: they've evolved already. You know, Dawson's super athletic. He can run.

1748
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: He can run, I'll tell you what. But the two

1749
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: go well together, you know. Um, they ran a route

1750
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: in practice and I called him in to the quarterback

1751
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: room and they came and they sat there and I

1752
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 1: told them what I saw and just gave them a

1753
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: little tip and they picked it up right away, and

1754
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, we got it. So you know,

1755
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: next time we run it in practice, it's it's already down.

1756
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 1: You did that same thing with Zay at the practice

1757
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 1: that was open to the media the other day. He

1758
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: came over to You're like, hey, hey, come on over.

1759
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: Then I asked Zay after practice, you know what that

1760
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: interaction was like, and he's like, he was, you know,

1761
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: he just thought there was a better way I could

1762
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 1: run the route to better read so Josh could better

1763
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: read my body language, you know when I'm coming out,

1764
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: he said. And I got no problem with that because

1765
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: he said, it's all about making this offense more efficient.

1766
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: And I think that sometimes goes by the board with

1767
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: fans too, like, yeah, you want a quarterback that's in control,

1768
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 1: but it's all for the good of the operation of

1769
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: what you guys are trying to execute everywhere. I mean,

1770
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: so you so you go there and you say, let's

1771
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: do this, I mean, what's the general feedback. Everybody seems

1772
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,719
Speaker 1: to be pretty open because they know what the ultimate

1773
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: goal is. Yeah, we want to win football games. You know,

1774
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: whether we pass for a bunch of yards, whether we

1775
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: run for a bunch of yards, however it gets done.

1776
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: We want to win football games. So to have that

1777
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: type of relationship where I can go up to day

1778
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: and he can tell me things and I can you know,

1779
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: listen to what he's saying and go back on the

1780
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: field and run it and do it effectively. You know,

1781
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 1: that's just gonna make it a little more smoother. You know,

1782
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things going on in a football game.

1783
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, those guys on the other side of the

1784
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: ball get paid too, So, um, when we can start

1785
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: thinking the same and understanding body language and eye control

1786
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: and when I should put the ball on his outside

1787
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: shoulder instead of his inside shoulder and why I'm doing that,

1788
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 1: and um, you know, the constant communication that the offensive

1789
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 1: line has together. It all plays in a role. So

1790
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that go into football and

1791
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's really fun. May before let you go,

1792
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: it is offseason, and I know that you spend a

1793
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: little time over the holiday weekend in Europe right at

1794
01:24:56,080 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 1: the Grand Prix. I did, yeah, Monico, Yeah, yeah, it

1795
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: was really cool. It was kind of like a last

1796
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: minute deal used to go. I wasn't. I'm I'm a fan. Yeah. Absolutely,

1797
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 1: How fast the cars go and how loud they are.

1798
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 1: It gives you a little bit of an adrenaline rush

1799
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: just watching it. You make your way around the course

1800
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: and look at it from different angles or how do

1801
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: you how do you? Well? I actually got I got

1802
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: a little spoil. I got to get in a car

1803
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: and kind of drive the track. Well, yeah, it was

1804
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: really cool. That's great. There's a nice race down the

Speaker 1: road and Watkins Glen in the summer. You should. Yeah,

1813
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: not too far away, is it really? It's not that

1814
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 1: it's coming fast? Yeah, thanks Jeff, Thank you, guys. All's

1815

Speaker 1: quarterback Chris and I back with more. One Goes Live

Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's race. They's got

1817
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: busy here. The last couple of minutes, Eric would started

1818
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: the hour with us. Josh Allen came in after him.

1819
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: That was the power hour. It was the power hour.

1820
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: We got one more, a little bit more than an

1821
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: hour to go, and Chris and I are gonna have

1822
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: a We're gonna have some spelling bee power to be

1823
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: delivering here in the third hour. It's gonna be hard.

1824
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: I've looked at some of those names. We're gonna try

1825
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 1: to spell the names of prominent NFL or is recent right,

1826
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: they're not all active, I don't think right now, no,

1827
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:36,799
Speaker 1: but well, yeah, but some of the most ridiculous names,

1828
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: like we're gonna quiz each other in a little spelling

1829
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: bee in the third hour of the show, So you

1830
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 1: want to be around for that. Way too many vowels

1831
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,600
Speaker 1: or none at all in between. Hey, we'd like to

1832
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,679
Speaker 1: get you involved. We'll do this too in the remaining moments.

1833
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 1: In our Twitter poll, what's the smartest move the Bills

1834
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: made this offseason? I'm telling you Josh Allen saw the

1835
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: screen up here in the studio and immediately saw that

1836
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 1: what seventy four percent he was fist bumping. Yes, that's right,

1837
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: you can tell where his heart is. What is the

1838
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: smartest move the Bills have made this offseason? On Twitter,

1839
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: more than eighteen hundred votes in so far, seventy four

1840
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: percent say remaking the offensive line is the smartest thing

1841
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 1: they've done. Twenty two percent say drafting at Oliver, three

1842
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: percent say the changes to the coaching staff, two percent

1843
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: have something else in mind. Give us a call. We'll

1844
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: discuss eight O three oh five fifty or toll free

1845
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,600
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. We

1846
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: got your tweets. We'll read some of the tweets now

1847
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1848
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills from Max. He

1849
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,879
Speaker 1: tweets this, and everyone and their mother knew the offensive

1850
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: line had to be improved, but for McBean to attack

1851
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: it with the tenacity and resolve that he did, and

1852
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: to improve on paper as exponentially as they did, is

1853
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: quite the victory. This offensive line could potentially go from

1854
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:52,679
Speaker 1: bottom five to top five. But that's that's lofty. Yes,

1855
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: it is. That is lofty, and say that yet, But yeah,

1856
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're definitely going to be better.

1857
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. I think

1858
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: what I like the most about everything that they've done

1859
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: to remake that line. As Eric would pointed out, number

1860
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: one starting experience in the league, number two. They didn't

1861
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: get all the same kind of lineman, you know what

1862
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean. Like Mitch Morris is known as a mobile guy,

1863
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Long is a mobile guy, but Quentin Spain is

1864
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 1: more of a you know, punchy in the mouth guy.

1865
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 1: Feliciano more of a punchy in the mouth guy, and

1866
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: Secky can manhandle you and can move, has good feed.

1867
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: So I think they had a nice mix of athleticism

1868
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: and attitude that they added to this offensive line. They

1869
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: didn't just go in one complete direction, and I think

1870
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: the byproduct of that is you can be more unpredictable

1871
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: with some of the things you want to do with

1872
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: your line, whether you want to run a screenplay or

1873
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 1: you you know, you want to block on the move

1874
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 1: and run some stretch, whatever it is. I think they

1875
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:06,600
Speaker 1: have enough talent with those different kinds of assets to

1876
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: do that. Attitude and athleticism is what they've added, but

1877
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: they have it in different quantities in the different players.

1878
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:14,679
Speaker 1: They've added, and I think that's a good thing. Here's

1879
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,280
Speaker 1: another from the tweet sheet from Tiffany. Very good point here,

1880
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 1: the investment into the facility upgrades where the smartest move

1881
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: was the smartest move they made. That's a unique one

1882
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 1: for other Yeah, it will have an immediate impact on

1883
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 1: the players involving offering a wide variety of recovery and

1884
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: wellness options. Long term, they will be able to entice

1885
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: future players on joining the Bills. Impressive facility. Very good

1886
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 1: point from Tiffany. The last sentence of that is probably

1887
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: maybe the most important. I think long term. The recruitment,

1888
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: the recruitment tool that that will be is going to

1889
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: pay dividends for sure. And you know, I think and

1890
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: we encountered it yesterday with the Trent Murphy was it

1891
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 1: two days ago? Trent was in here too. Oh my god,

1892
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 1: he's got his own Jim at his house. I mean,

1893
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: that could be a pro facility. He doesn't though, I

1894
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: asked him because a year ago. Well maybe he does

1895
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 1: in Arizona, but here on the You're going to show,

1896
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 1: not here. Yeah, on the show, he was all about,

1897
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 1: I got to find a house that can house uh

1898
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: my workout room, right, my gym at home. I asked

1899
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 1: him that the other day Wednesday, and he said, I

1900
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 1: don't need it anymore. We got the best gym in

1901
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 1: the three hundred mile radius right here around the corner.

1902
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: Why would I need that. Here's an interesting one too,

1903
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 1: And as you look at the numbers, what is it?

1904
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 1: Only three percent say the coaching staff. Also from the

1905
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,719
Speaker 1: tweet the tweet sheet not quite up on the tweet

1906
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: yet tweet sheet yet what I'm trying to say, but

1907
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,559
Speaker 1: five times? Yeah, I can't find it. But somebody said,

1908
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,679
Speaker 1: I'm surprised by the lack of votes for the additions

1909
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff. Me too. Here it is Jose Abarca. Um, no,

1910
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't him. Somebody else. I am too. I'm surprised

1911
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 1: that more people don't acknowledge that these coaches are, you know,

1912
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 1: likely to make a difference, and they've got some good

1913
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 1: ones here, I think, Um, yeah, I like Bobby Johnson

1914
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 1: when he was here as an assistant the first time. Yeah,

1915
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: I was encouraged by him and thought he had a

1916
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: bright future as a coach in this league. And I

1917
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 1: when I saw, you know, we ran into Frank Reich

1918
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 1: at the NFL Combat and I asked him about Bobby

1919
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: Johnson because he was on the Indianapolis staff last year

1920
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: as an assistant online coach. I said, you got any

1921
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 1: words that you want me to pass along to Bobby Johnson,

1922
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,680
Speaker 1: you know you'll let it, he goes. Man, He goes.

1923
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: I hated to let him go, he said, but I

1924
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: couldn't stand in the way of him, you know, finally

1925
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 1: getting the job that he's been after for the last

1926
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,600
Speaker 1: ten years in this league as the guy, as the

1927
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: offensive line coach. I said, well, do you have anything

1928
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: to say to him? He goes, Yeah, tell him to

1929
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: get some sleep, he goes. I would, he said, I would.

1930
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Frank said I would try to beat him into the

1931
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 1: office in the morning. I couldn't do it. He was

1932
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 1: always there. He was there before me, and a lot

1933
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 1: of times he'd be there just as late as I was.

1934
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,679
Speaker 1: He goes, And I'm the head coach, So he said,

1935
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:45,519
Speaker 1: uh yeah, tell him to get Tell him I said,

1936
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: to get some sleep. So I did tell him that,

1937
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 1: and he kind of after it. Ryan appleby sending the

1938
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 1: tweet I was talking about, He says, I'm surprised by

1939
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 1: the lack of voting for the coaching staff the three

1940
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,799
Speaker 1: areas with arguably the poorest play just got quality coaches.

1941
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I think it's going to be big.

1942
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: All right, a break here, we got another hour to go.

2001
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: missed it. The Script's National Spelling Bee was yesterday on TV.

2002
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 1: I caught a few minutes name tag though Chris and I.

2003
01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to get Chris talking about

2004
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: the Spelling Bee in particular. Chris and I are gonna

2005
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: quiz each other on some NFL names, some NFL names

2006
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:11,800
Speaker 1: and how do you spell them? How do you pronounce them?

2007
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:13,600
Speaker 1: As an issue for some of these guys. But in

2008
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 1: the meantime, you didn't like what you saw in the name.

2009
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: You have eight champions in a competition, Murph, How did

2010
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: it happen? What did they do? They get to the

2011
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: seventeen They get to the seventeenth round and they still

2012
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 1: had sixteen contestants left, and they said, we're only going

2013
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 1: three more rounds, So if you get to the twentieth round,

2014
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 1: you're going to be one of our champions. Where they

2015
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 1: run out of TV time or what. I don't know

2016
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:41,919
Speaker 1: what it was. It was five and a half hours

2017
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 1: that they had gone from the prelimbs earlier in the

2018
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: day and then they break and then they have the

2019
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: prime time. Once they got down to sixteen people and

2020
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,680
Speaker 1: they had gone I think three or four rounds and

2021
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 1: they really hadn't lost anybody. So they said, well, we're

2022
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,000
Speaker 1: only going three more rounds and whoever's left will be

2023
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 1: a champion, whether it's one or multiple people. So now

2024
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:04,719
Speaker 1: these kids know, all I gotta do is spell three words,

2025
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: and I'm in like Flynn. So they did, you know,

2026
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:10,600
Speaker 1: eliminate some people. Some people actually got eliminated in the

2027
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 1: very next round. But they get to the final round

2028
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 1: and eight people spell their words perfectly, and oh hey,

2029
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: everybody with champions. Eight champions. I mean, I'm I'm you know,

2030
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm watching this thing go down to the end, and

2031
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, where's Ricky Bobby when you need them? If

2032
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: you're not first, you're last. But all these people were

2033
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: deemed first. It's like, get some harder words, then, well,

2034
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: get harder ones. You know, these kids are pounding these

2035
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: words every day. They're pounding these words every day. They

2036
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: know all the words with no vowels and all consonants

2037
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:48,839
Speaker 1: and ridiculous like Swahili origin words like they know everything.

2038
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: You gotta go, you gotta dig deep, you gotta go

2039
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 1: like seriously, I think the way to go is kind

2040
01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: of the way uh the US military forces went when

2041
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 1: they had to come up with a code that no

2042
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:08,480
Speaker 1: one would be able to uh, you know, uncover or decode.

2043
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 1: They went with the native American language. Seriously, they went

2044
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: with the native American language. The Germans couldn't decode it,

2045
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 1: The Japanese couldn't decode it because it was a language

2046
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: that was completely unbeknownst to them. You gotta go deep,

2047
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: we gotta dig deep, we gotta go. We gotta start

2048
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:25,759
Speaker 1: pulling out the Latin words if you have to. Nobody

2049
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 1: uses Latin anymore except for the except for the Catholics, right, so,

2050
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, start you gotta do something here. I have

2051
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: two questions make the words harder. I only have two

2052
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 1: I only watch five minutes of it. Two questions, Um,

2053
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 1: what is the thing where the contestants? Um force the

2054
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: narrator to read the word and then tell me what

2055
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: language the language of origin? You use it in a

2056
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 1: sentence and they were doing. They are stalling. And here's

2057
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 1: the thing. I think when you get to those last

2058
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 1: three rounds, here's the word. Spell it done. Don't no definition,

2059
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 1: no pronuation, a second time, no alternate pronunciation, question, none

2060
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: of that. Spell the damn thing. You're an expert. Spell

2061
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:09,640
Speaker 1: the word, kid. You know, the pressure's on. And you

2062
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 1: know what changed the clock because they have I think

2063
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 1: they have a two minute clock for all these kids.

2064
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 1: There was this one girl. She's spelling this word. I mean,

2065
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: it's it's worse than the old Hinz ketchup commercial, you know,

2066
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 1: and is a pace. She's sitting there spelling this thing,

2067
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 1: and she's got I mean, she's concentrating. I'm trying to

2068
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 1: respect it, you know. And she did end up getting

2069
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 1: the word right, and by the look on her face,

2070
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 1: she was clearly shocked that she got it right. But

2071
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:40,320
Speaker 1: the countdown started. When she started this thing at like

2072
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:42,720
Speaker 1: one fifty five, we're down to forty seconds. She still

2073
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: got two letters to crank out here, and it was

2074
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: only a ten letter word. I'm like, come on, kid,

2075
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: come on, you know the word. You're just leaving us

2076
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:53,920
Speaker 1: all hanging here, you know it. And then she acts

2077
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 1: like she's Oh my god, I can't believe I got it. Okay, yeah,

2078
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: you know the whole time. Now, I have two more

2079
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,120
Speaker 1: questions for you. I've noticed a lot of the contestants

2080
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 1: would write it out. They write on their hand with

2081
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 1: their finger. Yeah, what do you think. I think that's

2082
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 1: a visualization technique. I'm guessing that's what it is. I

2083
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. That's weird. I gotta tell

2084
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 1: you this, Murph, if you and I did like the

2085
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 1: play by play in color the Spelling Bee, it would

2086
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: be a whole lot more entertaining. I'm telling you right now,

2087
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:22,719
Speaker 1: we we could have a blast with that. I mean,

2088
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: some of these kids, you know, a lot of them

2089
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 1: are um are of Indian descent, and you know, and

2090
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: some of their names that they had on their cards.

2091
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: I was like, we could use a couple of their names.

2092
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: They're pretty tough. I have one more question for you then,

2093
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,080
Speaker 1: and just for you, how the heck did you get

2094
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,759
Speaker 1: so worked up about the Spelling Bee. It's a champion.

2095
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 1: Come on, Murph, what are we doing. We're not watching it,

2096
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 1: but you obviously we're not helping We're not helping the

2097
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: next generation of kids by giving everybody a trophy. We're

2098
01:39:54,280 --> 01:40:00,040

2100
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,920

2101
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 1: the words that they had to. I'm not saying it

2102
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 1: was an easy road to the title, but you can't

2103
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 1: have eight kids holding up a trophy. They all couldn't

2104
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 1: even put their hand on the damn thing because there's

2105
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 1: too many of them. How did you get there's too

2110
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 1: the National Football League over the last few years. Oh

2111
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,160

01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:23,720

01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 1: Maybe just with Buffalo Bill's names. Maybe that would make

2260
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: it a little more evenly matched. Sure that somebody isn't

2261
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: reaching to the bottom dregs of NFL participation to come

2262
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 1: up with some names. Are really sure about this? That

2263
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. I'm the awesome that was. That was legit.

2264
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Kimmy out too. He played in the league for a while, right,

2265
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: and he had a brother in the league too. Anyway,

2266
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 1: we'll do that again. We had a little fun there.

2267
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:55,360
Speaker 1: Now the fun is over. Back to the show. Welcome,

2268
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 1: Chris is here for Steve. Steve is playing one hundred

2269
01:49:58,240 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: holes of golf. We check with them about an hour

2270
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:04,080
Speaker 1: ago and forty three holes in. We'll see if he's

2271
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: standing by the end of the weekend. In the meantime,

2272
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about the off season. Obviously, the Bills have

2273
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 1: wrapped up Ota number six. What's the smartest move the

2274
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 1: Bills have made this offseason? We offered a couple of

2275
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 1: choices for you on the Twitter poll, and it's kind

2276
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 1: of a runaway victory for the offensive line. We ask

2277
01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 1: you to put a little thought into it maybe and

2278
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: think what else has changed around here and in the

2279
01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:26,679
Speaker 1: off season, and what's the smartest move that they've made

2280
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: in the off season. On the Twitter pole, seventy three

2281
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,640
Speaker 1: percent say remaking the offensive line the smartest move the

2282
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,720
Speaker 1: Bills made twenty two percent say drafting at Oliver, three

2283
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:39,639
Speaker 1: percent say changes to the coaching staff, two percent say

2284
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: something else. Give us a call, let's discuss eight three

2285
01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 1: five fifty to three one eight eight eight five fifty

2286
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Wayne in cheek Dwaga has a thought

2287
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:50,639
Speaker 1: on this, Wayne, go ahead, you're on the air with us. Yeah.

2288
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:54,439
Speaker 1: I think the smartest move they've made was resigning Matt

2289
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 1: Barkley and signing nine Tyree Jackson. Really, we'll find out

2290
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 1: last year you want and drew away from disaster. I

2291
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 1: hope they keep all three. Yeah. I And with all

2292
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 1: due respect to Barkley and Tyree, I hope neither one

2293
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 1: of them have to play except in the end of

2294
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:12,519
Speaker 1: game victory mop up duties. You know what I mean.

2295
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to see those guys play, really, do you, Wayne?

2296
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: I hope that, Okay, you would have a backup at

2297
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 1: this time. Yeah. I do think there's a very good

2298
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: chance that all three are on the roster, very good chance. Yeah.

2299
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 1: I'd say there's a good chance. Barkley for sure. Yeah.

2300
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 1: And I think they want to really see what they

2301
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: can develop in Tyree. I do, and with that in mind,

2302
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think long term, because Barkley signed a

2303
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:44,640
Speaker 1: two year contract, I think when that contracts up, I

2304
01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:47,320
Speaker 1: think there's there are probably some people that are hoping

2305
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 1: that Tyree Jackson is ready to be the backup here.

2306
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 1: You know, that would be his third year in the

2307
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: league by that point, and I think they would hope that,

2308
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, he would be in a position where he's

2309
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 1: developed his game enough where they'd feel comfortable making him

2310
01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:01,599
Speaker 1: the backup. And the reason that could potentially be more

2311
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:05,240
Speaker 1: advantageous is because his skill set is pretty similar to

2312
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 1: that of Josh same size, some of the same assets.

2313
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, rocket arm, can run around and move. So

2314
01:52:13,200 --> 01:52:16,479
Speaker 1: I think long term that could prove to be a

2315
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:22,280
Speaker 1: very profitable investment for the team at that position, provided

2316
01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 1: he makes the progress that they believe he can with

2317
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, the right development here, Ken Dorsey smartest moved

2318
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: the Bills made this offseason Patrick on the line with

2319
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,840
Speaker 1: a different idea of Patrick go ahead, No, I know

2320
01:52:32,920 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 1: it was. It was definitely mentioned in Remaking of the

2321
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: offensive Line, but I just thought just to bring it

2322
01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:40,799
Speaker 1: up yet again. Was just the signing of Mitch Morrison.

2323
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 1: How much that opened up the draft and really gave

2324
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:44,639
Speaker 1: them the ability to take a guy like that Oliver.

2325
01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:48,080
Speaker 1: I thought just the ramifications of that that pickup was huge.

2326
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 1: That's a good point, Patrick. In fact, I've said a

2327
01:52:50,200 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 1: couple of times over the last couple of days, how

2328
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:56,200
Speaker 1: drafting at Oliver shut smart. But it was almost like

2329
01:52:56,479 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to think about it that much. It

2330
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: was a no brainer. But you're right, if they don't

2331
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 1: have Mitch Morse, and if they don't have the makings

2332
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,160
Speaker 1: of at least some candidates to fill in the offensive line,

2333
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: they might not have the opportunity to freedom to drafted Oliver. Right.

2334
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the point you're making, right Patrick, Yeah, no, exactly.

2335
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 1: And when you look at all the great quarterbacks, I mean,

2336
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 1: especially with a young quarterback like Josh Ellen, it definitely

2337
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:18,920
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to have a rock right in front of them.

2338
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at it. I mean, not to

2339
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 1: make a comparison, but you got Ken Hall, Jim Kelly,

2340
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:26,719
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, Peyton Manning. I mean, it just never hurts. Yeah, Chris,

2341
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:29,599
Speaker 1: we may look at this offseason. It's not over yet

2342
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:31,840
Speaker 1: for the Bills, but someday we may look back and

2343
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:36,200
Speaker 1: say that was the best mesh of free agency and

2344
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 1: draft that Bills team has had in a long time,

2345
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 1: you know what I mean as far as filing needs

2346
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 1: and the way they structured things financially in free agency.

2347
01:53:44,400 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 1: That might we may look back on this someday and

2348
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 1: say that was really the way to do it, and

2349
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:51,160
Speaker 1: whether it all comes together in the way that they

2350
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 1: hope here in this first year or not. I can

2351
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:59,280
Speaker 1: definitely see people looking back on this offseason and say

2352
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:02,800
Speaker 1: that is the tipping point for you know, charting the

2353
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: future course of this organization. You know, under being in McDermott,

2354
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:11,679
Speaker 1: it's it's difficult to say whether or not all those

2355
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 1: pieces are going to fit together smoothly here in the

2356
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,479
Speaker 1: first year that you're trying to blend it all in,

2357
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:22,479
Speaker 1: But certainly in twenty knowing that a lot of the

2358
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:25,600
Speaker 1: players that were added were signed to multi year contracts,

2359
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, you have to believe that in time it's

2360
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: all going to click really, really really well, and then

2361
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 1: the Bills could really be going places. And one other thing,

2362
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:37,480
Speaker 1: and we talk about this a lot at the draft

2363
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 1: around the draft. At the end of the draft, this

2364
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 1: offseason in no way put some behind the eight ball

2365
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:46,880
Speaker 1: for next offseason. In other words, cap is safe, they

2366
01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:50,600
Speaker 1: can do things in free agency. They kept their draft

2367
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:52,440
Speaker 1: picks for next year, and a lot of people were

2368
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: saying that, go out, sign this guy, sign that guy,

2369
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 1: spend money, trade up, you know, use those draft picks. No,

2370
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: they're they're intact, both cap wise and draft wise draft picks. Well, yeah,

2371
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:04,160
Speaker 1: because very quickly coming down the pike, they're gonna have

2372
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: to start taking care of their own Yeah. I mean,

2373
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:10,360
Speaker 1: you've got Tredavious White in you know, year three, um

2374
01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 1: entering year three of a four year deal. Uh. You know,

2375
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 1: you've got Matt Milano, Dion Dawkins, you know, guys from

2376
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:19,840
Speaker 1: that first draft class who at least I believe this

2377
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:23,560
Speaker 1: team is going to be interested in retaining key cornerstone,

2378
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:28,160
Speaker 1: foundational type pieces for this franchise. So you know, that's

2379
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:30,920
Speaker 1: that's coming down the pike here in the not too

2380
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 1: distant future. So you have to keep yourself in a

2381
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 1: manageable and flexible cap situation so you can address those

2382
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 1: guys who in their second contract they're gonna get paid.

2383
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna get paid, they're gonna gobble up some cap space.

2384
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some interesting decisions coming up in

2385
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:49,360
Speaker 1: the not too distant future. Smartest move the Bills made

2386
01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 1: this offseason. What do you think We've got Tom and

2387
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 1: wayas on on the line? Hello Tom, go ahead, Hey guys, Yeah,

2388
01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:03,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, spell it on amatopia. I can't do that one. Hey,

2389
01:56:03,240 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: first time, long time Murph. First of all, love love

2390
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: the show. You guys listen to it all the time.

2391
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 1: On congratulations on getting the Hall of Fame nomination for

2392
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: Broadcasters Association. That's awesome, well deserved. M Brownie, You're one

2393
01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:20,080
Speaker 1: of my favorite guests. Man. I love to hear you.

2394
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:24,360
Speaker 1: Your insights are just tremendous. Thank you. Regarding the Twitter poll, Um,

2395
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, O line is my answer, But you know,

2396
01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm really kind of intrigued by Bobby Johnson, you know,

2397
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 1: the new old line coach. And my question maybe maybe

2398
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: Chris for you, is, you know, does Bobby have a

2399
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:40,240
Speaker 1: style um of like the style of plays he likes

2400
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 1: running more than others and coaches to that. I'm just

2401
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 1: wondering at his presence on the Bills might influence the

2402
01:56:47,320 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 1: type of plays that day ball runs, you know, like

2403
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:52,800
Speaker 1: more polls in the running game, and um, I don't

2404
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:54,480
Speaker 1: know how that might affect the passing game. Two I

2405
01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:56,760
Speaker 1: know where they had the lowest X in the league

2406
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:59,280
Speaker 1: when he was at the Colts last year, Right, Yeah,

2407
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 1: hardest day. I think it's hard to say. I think

2408
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 1: that's something we're gonna have to watch unfold because really,

2409
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 1: at least from what I could tell, there is no

2410
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:11,520
Speaker 1: crossover with Bobby Johnson's career in that of Brian Dable.

2411
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 1: So these guys are new to each other. Also, I mean,

2412
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 1: just as new as they are as Bobby Johnson is

2413
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:19,720
Speaker 1: to his offensive linemen. It's the same with Brian Dabele.

2414
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:21,680
Speaker 1: And so I think there is you know, there likely

2415
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,760
Speaker 1: was a feeling out process through the winter in the

2416
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:27,960
Speaker 1: spring as Johnson got a handle on the offensive scheme.

2417
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are things that Coach Johnson relays to

2418
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 1: Coach Dabel and says, Look, based on the skill set

2419
01:57:34,800 --> 01:57:38,000
Speaker 1: of these linemen here, you're gonna want to run these

2420
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 1: things more often because this is what those guys do well.

2421
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: Those kinds of conversations will happen. I don't anticipate that

2422
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 1: any preference on Johnson's part in terms of the kind

2423
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 1: of line blocking that he likes is going to translate

2424
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 1: to this situation because he has to work with what

2425
01:57:56,840 --> 01:58:00,400
Speaker 1: he has, and if he feels that he's had enough

2426
01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 1: guys with mobility that, for example, can execute screenplay as well,

2427
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:07,000
Speaker 1: which was a problem here last year. He's gonna tell Dabel,

2428
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 1: you can run screens with these guys. They can execute

2429
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 1: this for you, So feel free to call those when

2430
01:58:12,040 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 1: you think the time is right. I think those are

2431
01:58:14,640 --> 01:58:17,240
Speaker 1: more of the conversations that Johnson's going to have with Dabel,

2432
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 1: rather than making hardcore play call type suggestions. Thanks for

2433
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 1: your calling, Thank your comments. Tom. Let's go to Sean.

2434
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm the line from Dallas. Hello, Sean, welcome to the show. Hey, hey, guys,

2435
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:33,200
Speaker 1: taking my call. Enjoy the show. I listened every day

2436
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm hear in Dallas. I'm really excited about the upcoming season.

2437
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 1: And I'm really listening to the feedback that getting with

2438
01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:45,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in some of these early practices. To me,

2439
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:48,960
Speaker 1: it does seem like a game from listening and slowed

2440
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 1: down to him quite a bit. And he mentioned in

2441
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 1: that little interview with Chris Simms, which I really love.

2442
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: If no one's seen that interview with Chris Simms, I

2443
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:59,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have promoted that at all. Yeah, Lisa,

2444
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 1: I tweeted. I retweeted it yesterday. That's a good interview, man,

2445
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 1: and he kind of gives some insights on what he sees.

2446
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 1: I love it, and so listen, it sounds like the

2447
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 1: game slowed down for him. I'm gonna tell you that.

2448
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:12,440
Speaker 1: To me, the offensive line, it's a no brainer that.

2449
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean Ed Oliver. I mean I like to pick. Hey,

2450
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:19,320
Speaker 1: he has potential, right, but he's a rookie. How do

2451
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:22,640
Speaker 1: we know how he's gonna fit in? Um? But I

2452
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 1: think in general, one of what I'm saying, guys is

2453
01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not staying super Bowl or anything like that.

2454
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 1: Trust me. I got the brakes on Chris here. I

2455
01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 1: was like, the brakes are on. But I'll tell you, man,

2456
01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 1: I am very optimistic that the ways that this team

2457
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 1: going now. I'm looking at about a three to four

2458
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:44,640
Speaker 1: to five week kind of during the season letting the

2459
01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:48,000
Speaker 1: offensive line jails. I mean the first few games, it's

2460
01:59:48,040 --> 01:59:51,120
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I've seen how this works. Yeah, I

2461
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 1: think the Bills are gonna be patient with it. The

2462
01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:56,720
Speaker 1: New England Patriots are obviously patient in their first four

2463
01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 1: or five games of the season with how things are rolling.

2464
01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: But I do think how Josh Allen finished last year.

2465
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:05,680
Speaker 1: And you can see the guy's a winner. He wants

2466
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 1: to win. And I think the offensive line being retools

2467
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:11,000
Speaker 1: going to help him be able to accomplish the goals

2468
02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 1: that this guy wants to do for this team and

2469
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: for this town. Like I said, I'm just excited. Man.

2470
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:18,840
Speaker 1: I think a defense is set and now it's gonna

2471
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:21,040
Speaker 1: be on our offense to come on board and to

2472
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:25,240
Speaker 1: start contributing to what we've had defensively for the last

2473
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:26,840
Speaker 1: several years. And I think we got the guy. And

2474
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:29,560
Speaker 1: I think this team with the offensive line, I think

2475
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:32,240
Speaker 1: Shady's gonna have a great year. Um, and I think

2476
02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:35,320
Speaker 1: the extra wide receivers we had guys, I mean, Josh

2477
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:37,480
Speaker 1: Allen is going to be having a ball this year.

2478
02:00:37,800 --> 02:00:39,680
Speaker 1: And I hope you're right, Shanna. I'm gonna cut you off.

2479
02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:41,240
Speaker 1: We got a couple of other callers here. Thank you

2480
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:45,480
Speaker 1: for calling. Um. That is the definition of unbridled enthusiasm.

2481
02:00:45,880 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 1: That's right, right. And he said he was pumping the brakes,

2482
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 1: but then but then he took his foot off the

2483
02:00:50,040 --> 02:00:51,880
Speaker 1: brake pedal. There he was. He was running up and

2484
02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 1: down the roster, which is fine. We love that. I mean,

2485
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:56,680
Speaker 1: we'll take an enthusiastic fan any day of the week.

2486
02:00:57,200 --> 02:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Um I I agree with him. With the offensive line

2487
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:05,720
Speaker 1: if you can be in early October and we're seeing

2488
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 1: signs that the thing is really starting to come together,

2489
02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:12,920
Speaker 1: and they're they're really humming up front. You know, Week five,

2490
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:16,720
Speaker 1: week six, they're gonna be in pretty good shape. It's

2491
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. Week one for the offensive line,

2492
02:01:20,880 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 1: that's a tough draw. I mean, Leonard Williams, Quinnin Williams,

2493
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 1: Steve McClendon up front for the Jets. That's tough. That's

2494
02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:34,120
Speaker 1: a tough Week one draw for the offensive line specifically.

2495
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Jets is a team are a

2496
02:01:35,880 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 1: tough draw, but that particular matchup, that's a tough draw

2497
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:42,200
Speaker 1: for a new line that's coming together to really be

2498
02:01:42,280 --> 02:01:44,680
Speaker 1: effective down in and down out. That's a good front

2499
02:01:45,240 --> 02:01:46,600
Speaker 1: that the Jets are going to be bringing. And you

2500
02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:48,760
Speaker 1: better bet your bottom dollar that Greg Williams is going

2501
02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 1: to be drawn every scheme he can think of, and

2502
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:56,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be blitzing the heck out of Josh because

2503
02:01:56,240 --> 02:01:58,640
Speaker 1: that's just who he is. So that's that's a tough

2504
02:01:58,720 --> 02:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Week one draw. To get there. I like the Giants

2505
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 1: one a little bit better. In Week two Bengals have

2506
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:07,520
Speaker 1: tried to four to five things a little bit, but

2507
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:10,360
Speaker 1: it's a new defense for them, so you hope that

2508
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:12,400
Speaker 1: they're maybe not up to speed yet and you can

2509
02:02:12,480 --> 02:02:16,080
Speaker 1: kind of get some traction there, you know. And then

2510
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:18,720
Speaker 1: you have the Patriots who have lost some pieces on

2511
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:20,960
Speaker 1: the defensive front. So you know, if you can kind

2512
02:02:20,960 --> 02:02:23,280
Speaker 1: of work your way through that first month and get

2513
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 1: your bearings and then try to hit your stride against

2514
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 1: the good Titans front, You're Elle Casey's a bear, you know,

2515
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 1: get into the buy and then go against the depleted

2516
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins front and really start to hit your stride there.

2517
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:38,680
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you can get some traction and really

2518
02:02:38,720 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 1: feel like you're you're making things work and things are

2519
02:02:40,960 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 1: coming together. By then, what's been the Bill's smartest move

2520
02:02:43,520 --> 02:02:45,680
Speaker 1: this offseason? What do you think? Add on the line

2521
02:02:45,680 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 1: from Lancaster, I had to go ahead. You're on the

2522
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 1: air with this. How are you doing? Guys? Okay? I

2523
02:02:50,400 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: want to say a load of my neighbor around the corner,

2524
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, I have never met. Good to see you.

2525
02:02:58,680 --> 02:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll try to wave the next time I drive by

2526
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:04,160
Speaker 1: what street on. Well, i'll tell you for you know,

2527
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to cause a big parade, but i'll

2528
02:03:07,440 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 1: tell you. When you come out of your street, you

2529
02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:13,080
Speaker 1: make a left hand turn. Yeah, well the SAP signed,

2530
02:03:13,560 --> 02:03:18,720
Speaker 1: you'll make another left go to the SAP sign, got it. Yeah,

2531
02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you. And for the second house on the right.

2532
02:03:21,880 --> 02:03:25,280
Speaker 1: All right, I'll wave when I'm driving by on the street. Okay,

2533
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 1: that's fine by me, all right, and write that down.

2534
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Oh it's all right here, Murph, I know exactly where

2535
02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: he is. It feels like we're doing a scammernger. All right.

2536
02:03:31,240 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 1: What do you got for his ed? Just a couple

2537
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:36,080
Speaker 1: of things that it might be off the wall, But

2538
02:03:36,160 --> 02:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad they retained Lorenzo, and I'm glad they picked

2539
02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: up a Frank Gore. But what it does, in my mind,

2540
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:49,520
Speaker 1: they just you know, it helps maintain, you know, a

2541
02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:53,760
Speaker 1: good veteran president for for some of the younger guys. Yeah,

2542
02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad Lorenzo is back too, really glad he's an

2543
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:58,600
Speaker 1: important part of our show. Today. By the way, is

2544
02:03:58,640 --> 02:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Lorenzo's thirty sixth birthday, after birthday of the Renzo, which

2545
02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:03,440
Speaker 1: if he came in we'd sing to him and he

2546
02:04:03,560 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: is not. We would, and he's been in the building.

2547
02:04:06,480 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know I was promised this. He's not the

2548
02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 1: oldest guy on the team because the other guy you

2549
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:14,760
Speaker 1: mentioned is the oldest guy, Frank Gore, so by seventeen days. Yeah,

2550
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:17,240
Speaker 1: it's close, close, it's tight, but he but he gets

2551
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 1: it just under the wire there. But yeah, and I'm

2552
02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:23,040
Speaker 1: telling you neither of those guys play like thirty six

2553
02:04:23,120 --> 02:04:25,840
Speaker 1: years old either. Hey, we're let's take a few from

2554
02:04:25,840 --> 02:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. It is brought to you by Cargan

2555
02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:30,600
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. And

2556
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:33,480
Speaker 1: answer to our question the smartest move the Bills made

2557
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:35,520
Speaker 1: this offseason? What do you think? There's a good one

2558
02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:39,120
Speaker 1: from Brian. Brian tweets and I think Bean's best move

2559
02:04:39,200 --> 02:04:43,040
Speaker 1: was standing pat on Antonio Brown amazing talent on the field,

2560
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 1: but not worth the asking price in cap it If

2561
02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:47,280
Speaker 1: we had a b we'd not have Oliver and our

2562
02:04:47,280 --> 02:04:50,760
Speaker 1: cap situation would be completely different. The juice wasn't worth

2563
02:04:50,760 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the squeeze and Bean do it good one, Very good

2564
02:04:55,360 --> 02:04:57,640
Speaker 1: one Brian, and very good point. I mean that was

2565
02:04:57,680 --> 02:05:00,880
Speaker 1: really the first the first car had played right in

2566
02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:03,520
Speaker 1: the offseason for the Bills. They didn't get the guy,

2567
02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:05,960
Speaker 1: but it was certainly the first move, and if nothing else,

2568
02:05:05,960 --> 02:05:07,960
Speaker 1: it was indicative of the kind of approach this team

2569
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:11,760
Speaker 1: wanted to take this offseason. And you know, ab has

2570
02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:16,080
Speaker 1: missed some time, granted voluntary out in Oakland. He's there now.

2571
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of it. I really

2572
02:05:20,240 --> 02:05:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to be interested to see because very quickly,

2573
02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:28,080
Speaker 1: as that season unfolds in Oakland, I think Antonio Brown

2574
02:05:28,160 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 1: is going to realize very quickly that not all NFL

2575
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:36,800
Speaker 1: organizations are run the same, and the Pittsburgh Steelers organization

2576
02:05:37,560 --> 02:05:41,720
Speaker 1: is probably one of the most stable in the entire league.

2577
02:05:42,200 --> 02:05:46,880
Speaker 1: There's only a handful of teams that operate, you know,

2578
02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 1: on that flat line in terms of stability and all

2579
02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:54,280
Speaker 1: you got to point to, first and foremost, three coaches

2580
02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:57,919
Speaker 1: in the last what forty six years or something, three coaches,

2581
02:05:58,680 --> 02:06:04,400
Speaker 1: three coaches, nol Cower, Tomlin, and I mean, if that

2582
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:07,080
Speaker 1: doesn't speak to the stability of the franchise, nothing does.

2583
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:11,480
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because a lot of people, not necessarily

2584
02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:13,280
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh media, maybe a little bit more of the

2585
02:06:13,360 --> 02:06:15,840
Speaker 1: national media that's been going in to talk to the

2586
02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Steelers players, how are you going to recover from these losses?

2587
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Bell Brown? You know, two of your most prolific offensive

2588
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:25,880
Speaker 1: players of the last four or five years, How are

2589
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,200
Speaker 1: you going to recover from that? And the players aren't

2590
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:30,760
Speaker 1: even concerned. They're just like, we'll just keep rolling. Yeah,

2591
02:06:30,800 --> 02:06:33,160
Speaker 1: that's what we do here. And I think that speaks

2592
02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 1: to the stability of that organization that doesn't exist in Oakland,

2593
02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:39,480
Speaker 1: at least not yet and maybe never will be to

2594
02:06:39,560 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 1: that degree anyway. Maybe it did in the seventies, but

2595
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:46,200
Speaker 1: not now. And they're going to be up and moving

2596
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:49,600
Speaker 1: next year, so there's more, you know, there's more instability there,

2597
02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:54,160
Speaker 1: and navigating an offseason through that, I think if things

2598
02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:55,960
Speaker 1: go off the rails there in Oakland and they lose

2599
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:57,480
Speaker 1: a couple of games in a row, it can be

2600
02:06:57,560 --> 02:07:00,240
Speaker 1: very interested to see how ab handles that. Absolutely one

2601
02:07:00,280 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 1: more from the tweetcheat this one from Bernie. We asked

2602
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:04,800
Speaker 1: the question what was the smartest move the Bills made

2603
02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:08,400
Speaker 1: this offseason? Bernie says it's other. The smartest thing one

2604
02:07:08,440 --> 02:07:11,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive did this offseason was sticking to their process.

2605
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:14,960
Speaker 1: They filled holes via free agency, they continued to cherry

2606
02:07:14,960 --> 02:07:17,800
Speaker 1: pick potential elite talent in the draft and they match

2607
02:07:17,880 --> 02:07:20,960
Speaker 1: coaching talent to their players. I'm trusting the process. Who

2608
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:23,120
Speaker 1: sums it up? And now I love when people come

2609
02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:25,400
Speaker 1: with other yeah, you know on your people we make

2610
02:07:25,440 --> 02:07:27,400
Speaker 1: we kind of poked fun at other on the Twitter poll.

2611
02:07:27,480 --> 02:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't, but I'm gonna say this, I like,

2612
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:33,400
Speaker 1: what's the name of that? That was? Bernie? Bernie, Bravo

2613
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:36,920
Speaker 1: to you man for being an outside the box thinker

2614
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:39,480
Speaker 1: and coming up with something that was really good trusting

2615
02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 1: the process. I think that is a good other answer

2616
02:07:42,040 --> 02:07:44,040
Speaker 1: for the smartest move they made. I think it was

2617
02:07:44,080 --> 02:07:45,640
Speaker 1: a great way to wrap it up because there were

2618
02:07:45,640 --> 02:07:47,960
Speaker 1: some hard pills to swallow last year and year two

2619
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 1: of this process, but they stuck to it. They bit

2620
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:54,800
Speaker 1: the bullet with the cap and here we are in

2621
02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:58,720
Speaker 1: year three after a bountiful offseason, and you know they're

2622
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:01,520
Speaker 1: they're primed to do something and you know, make a move.

2623
02:08:01,520 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 1: Here in the answer, and the previous tweeter mentioned, you

2624
02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 1: know the way it started, the Antonio Brown thing, that

2625
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:08,360
Speaker 1: that was a Friday. I believe right back in February

2626
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,160
Speaker 1: it was not a good day. I mean, right, it

2627
02:08:10,240 --> 02:08:11,440
Speaker 1: was not a good day, and it was not a

2628
02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:13,320
Speaker 1: good outcome. It was not good the way it was

2629
02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:17,360
Speaker 1: portrayed nationally. And to their credit, most Bills fans trusted

2630
02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:19,200
Speaker 1: the process. Well, that didn't work out, but at least

2631
02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:21,160
Speaker 1: they were up there taking their swings right. I think

2632
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:22,880
Speaker 1: most people had that approach to it, and I think

2633
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:25,400
Speaker 1: that's good. It is good, yeah, and it's why the

2634
02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:28,120
Speaker 1: team has positioned where they are right now, which should

2635
02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,720
Speaker 1: be onward and upward things here in twenty nineteen, did

2636
02:08:30,720 --> 02:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the Bills win the off season? You had to go there? Huh.

2637
02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:37,960
Speaker 1: We had such nice positive momentum there and you just

2638
02:08:38,120 --> 02:08:39,760
Speaker 1: you just cut it at the knee. We won't ask

2639
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:41,320
Speaker 1: that question, cut it right at the name, will not

2640
02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 1: ask that question. To break some kneecaps too, and go

2641
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:46,040
Speaker 1: total Tony soprano coming back in a minute. One Bills

2642
02:08:46,080 --> 02:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. So

2643
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:04,720
Speaker 1: what do we learned from today's show? Presented by the

2644
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:08,040
Speaker 1: Advanced Alarm, providing Western New York's homes and businesses with

2645
02:09:08,160 --> 02:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the finest security and home theater. The Preferred Alarm, a

2646
02:09:11,880 --> 02:09:14,080
Speaker 1: home theater provider of the Buffalo Bill's Good Show Today,

2647
02:09:14,280 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: Mary Kay Cabot, covers the Browns for Cleveland dot Com,

2648
02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:19,880
Speaker 1: joined us in the noon hour. We talked about the

2649
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:23,440
Speaker 1: absence of Odell Beckham. They're big, superstar wide receiver from

2650
02:09:23,480 --> 02:09:25,840
Speaker 1: most of the OTA's Mary Kay Beckham says, don't worry

2651
02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:27,440
Speaker 1: about it, not a big deal. Here's what she said.

2652
02:09:28,640 --> 02:09:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really thinks that Odell isn't going

2653
02:09:31,760 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 1: to be a proll hole player because he missed OTA.

2654
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks that he's going to forget

2655
02:09:36,960 --> 02:09:40,600
Speaker 1: how to make us spectacular one hand in graph because

2656
02:09:40,600 --> 02:09:43,280
Speaker 1: he missed OK, that's really not the point. I think

2657
02:09:43,320 --> 02:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the point is it's a new offense that they're installing.

2658
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:48,840
Speaker 1: It's new teammates, a new head coach. They're really an

2659
02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to show that you know that you are here,

2660
02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:54,840
Speaker 1: that you're committed, and that you're willing to do whatever

2661
02:09:54,880 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 1: it takes to get this team where it wants to go.

2662
02:09:58,080 --> 02:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Mary Kay Cabot from Cleveland on the Browns in their

2663
02:10:00,280 --> 02:10:03,480
Speaker 1: OTAs without Odell Beckham. Junior Eric Wood joined us for

2664
02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:06,800
Speaker 1: a while on the show today, former Bill's offensive lineman.

2665
02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:08,960
Speaker 1: We asked him the question that has been our Twitter

2666
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:11,440
Speaker 1: poll today, what was the Bill's smartest move this offseason.

2667
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Here's what Eric Wood had to say. I think it's

2668
02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:18,600
Speaker 1: extremely valuable to add a bunch of new pieces up

2669
02:10:18,640 --> 02:10:21,280
Speaker 1: in front of Josh Allen to you know, the offensive

2670
02:10:21,280 --> 02:10:24,240
Speaker 1: line struggle last year. They needed to improve there. And

2671
02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:28,280
Speaker 1: when you have Josh Allen and you got your franchise

2672
02:10:28,400 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 1: quarterback out there, rolling him out there a week week

2673
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,320
Speaker 1: to week, you cannot have poor o line play in

2674
02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:35,160
Speaker 1: front of him. And if you want to see him

2675
02:10:35,200 --> 02:10:37,520
Speaker 1: make that next jump, that was valuable. You know, you

2676
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:40,880
Speaker 1: add some pieces on the outside for him, and then

2677
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, drafting at Oliver is a great decision. But man,

2678
02:10:45,640 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was a no brainer. Yes, a no brainer.

2679
02:10:48,680 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Our biggest position of need with Kyle departing on defense,

2680
02:10:52,600 --> 02:10:55,520
Speaker 1: our biggest need on defense was probably sitting there for

2681
02:10:55,560 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 1: the three technique position, and you get At Oliver. Eric

2682
02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:04,280
Speaker 1: Wood on this Bill's smartest move. That was our Twitter

2683
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:06,920
Speaker 1: poll today. For the record, Josh Allen weighed in on

2684
02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:09,960
Speaker 1: that too. Josh Allen came in did a segment with us, which,

2685
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:12,200
Speaker 1: by the way, you can catch on our website Buffalo

2686
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:14,480
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. A little bit later on today, Josh

2687
02:11:14,480 --> 02:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Allen saw the Twitter poll on the screen and said

2688
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:19,520
Speaker 1: pointed right to remaking the offensive line and gave it

2689
02:11:19,560 --> 02:11:23,440
Speaker 1: thumbs up. The Twitter poll pretty one sided remaking the

2690
02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:26,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. Seventy three percent of our respondents and more

2691
02:11:26,160 --> 02:11:29,920
Speaker 1: than twenty two hundred responses, seventy three percent said remaking

2692
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:32,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line was the smartest thing the Bills did

2693
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:35,800
Speaker 1: this offseason. Twenty two percent said drafting and oliver. Only

2694
02:11:35,840 --> 02:11:38,120
Speaker 1: three percent said the changes to the coaching staff, and

2695
02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:40,480
Speaker 1: two percent had something else in mind. Did you ever

2696
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:42,920
Speaker 1: vote in Eric Ronnie? Did you Did you cast a

2697
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:45,680
Speaker 1: ballot here? Yeah? I mean well, I yeah, I was

2698
02:11:45,760 --> 02:11:47,560
Speaker 1: kind of with the majority here. I thought it was

2699
02:11:47,680 --> 02:11:51,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line. It was just too important. While I

2700
02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:55,320
Speaker 1: do agree that the coaching staff changes were overlooked by most,

2701
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:58,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that, I still think the

2702
02:11:58,080 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 1: line was kind of where it all started. That was

2703
02:12:01,080 --> 02:12:05,080
Speaker 1: really the first domino in several that kind of led

2704
02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:07,400
Speaker 1: to the hard times of twenty eighteen. When you think

2705
02:12:07,440 --> 02:12:09,800
