1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Taster who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: the strated here of normalcy here, all right, Here we

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: go on a Thursday One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: Tasker with you and plenty to discuss today. We'll get

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: into it shortly, Steve. I was fortunate enough to take

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: in a high school graduation last night. Congrats to all

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: the Lancaster High School grads. They were down to the

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Keybank Center last night. I was there as well. Keybank Center. Yeah, wow,

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: largest high school in western New York, so they need

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the space. So congrats to the four hundred and twenty

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: six graduates. I believe it night. There wasn't that many

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: people in my town. Yeah, it was very efficient though.

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: They moved through it pretty quickly for them. The reason

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: I bring it up is because it was the salutatorian

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: who spoke first among the student body. I believe that's

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: the person that's second in the class. And I was

19
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: never in that category, so I'm not wholly familiar with

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: the rankings. Yeah, in any event, um, he quoted Josh

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Allen four times. Four times. Oh my gosh, I'm sitting there.

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, this is where we are. Josh Allen

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: has been quoted in graduation ceremonies. It was unbelievable. He

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: was basically referencing the quote he made shortly after he

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: was drafted in twenty eighteen. I'm not going to have

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: the exact quote because I was trying to look it

27
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: up online to find the exact quote and I could

28
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: not find it. But he it was essentially how he said,

29
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to be the first quarterback taken to

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: be the best quarterback in the league, right, And he

31
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: was kind of using that as a way of saying,

32
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, even if you don't finish first in your

33
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: class or any of that, it doesn't mean that. Do

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: you know where he starts where he finished, Yeah, kind

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: of that message. Yeah, um, you know, in the work

36
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: you put in to be what you want to be.

37
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a story of inspiration to the future generation

38
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: of America. Yes, absolutely, I love it. I'm sure I

39
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: own I'll own that. Yeah that's true. I'll you know, die,

40
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: I'll buy that for a dollar, Yeah, I'll die. On

41
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: I was I was waiting for a for a go bills.

42
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: I seriously thought it was going to happen, and then

43
00:02:53,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: my wife shouted it out next to me. Your wife speech,

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: and she says, come out from up in the stands.

45
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, we're off and running. It's gonna

46
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: be a heck of a grade tonight. Here we go,

47
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: all right. The funniest thing that happened was we're all

48
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: outside afterwards, because they escort you out of there pretty quickly.

49
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: They don't want anybody congregating in the facility. You want

50
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: to congregate, go out on the plaza, you know. Okay, fine,

51
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: So we're all out there. You know, kids are milling

52
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: around and parents are taking pictures and whatever, and all

53
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, one of those It wasn't one of

54
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: those pedal tours, but it was something like that. It

55
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: was a tiki bus filled with inebriated adults having a

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: good time on a random Wednesday night. So the thing,

57
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: you know, comes tootle and by like a one float parade. Yeah,

58
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: comes tootle and by they see graduates out in the plaza.

59
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: It's like fifteen people get out the windows for the

60
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: high school graduate with the teaching staff as a high No,

61
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But oh my gosh, you put

62
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: a caper on the night for sure. Oh my gosh,

63
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: it was a good time though. That's good. Yeah, another

64
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: graduation class in the books. Yeah, so there you go.

65
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: So that was But I was just I said, this

66
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: is where we're at five short years later. Josh Allen's

67
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the entire league, and

68
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: he's being quoted at high school graduation ceremonies. It was

69
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: unbelieving about that. Twenty eighteen things I hope will happen

70
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: for two hundred alex Um. Yeah, that's amazing. That's that's

71
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: a good I mean, he is an inspirational story. You

72
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: can't say this. It's yeah, I'll say this, brownie though.

73
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: I can see it coming around the corner. What's it

74
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: gonna be like when the when the young one heads

75
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: out to college and you're an empty nester, you and

76
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: the missus. Yeah, it's gonna be Yeah, it'll be different.

77
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: It'll be different. We'll actually be able to do some

78
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: stuff for our ourselves once in a while. And the thing,

79
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: the thing that will be nice, especially this fall, is

80
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: because the Bills are so primetime oriented with their schedule.

81
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna get some weekends here, Steve. Usually from

82
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: August to February, the weekends are off limits because of

83
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: the kids. We'll get no, because of the football team.

84
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so will they play a Thursday night? Week one?

85
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: You got that weekend in September to do something. Week two,

86
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: it's a Monday night home game. You got another weekend

87
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: to do something September when the weather you feel nice.

88
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: The summer weekends, no, no, no, I'm I'm talking about

89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: the fall already, when they're all gone and it's just

90
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: me and the business. Let's let's turn it up on

91
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: a weekend here we got so, you got those two

92
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: weekends there, and then we might we might, we might

93
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: be able to get together socially, Yeah, for dinner once

94
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: during football season. During football sea. Maybe we'll catch a

95
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Monday night game, right right, if we're not at one.

96
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm kind of looking forward. There's some advantages

97
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: to this bill's fall schedule. With as many times as

98
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: they are on primetime, they're on Thursday night a couple

99
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: of times, I know, one of them Thanksgiving. But still,

100
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, there'll be some opportunities on Saturdays and Sundays,

101
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: which usually does not occur. Hard to anticipate how things

102
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: change when the dynamics in the household change. When you

103
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: got a little it'll be uncharted waters. And we haven't

104
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: been here in twenty something years. It's been a while,

105
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: and we're you're different people by this time, a couple

106
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: of dec I would say, that's safe to say. So interesting.

107
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: We'll congratulations though. It'll be great. So we're looking forward

108
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, and yeah, well it'll be here before

109
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: we know it. We celebrate, we celebrate a little bit

110
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: different milestone. Okay, was my wife and I and our

111
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: oldest son and his wife. We were on the out

112
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: in the back with a little fire going, even though

113
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: it was a little warm. Um celebrating. They they're sold

114
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: one house, moving into the to the big house. That's

115
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: the bigger house. They moved into this house with um

116
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: a dog. They're leaving with the same dog and four kids. Yeah,

117
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: so the the house got small quick. I kind of

118
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: see how the Tasker family tree works here. It's a

119
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: bushy branches branches, it branches quick. Yeah goodness. They yeah,

120
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: so they they celebrated. They they had an offer accepted

121
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: for the home that they're living in, and they accepted

122
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: an offer for the home they're living in. They already

123
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: they closed yesterday. I'm telling you they're getting So it's

124
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: a housing market, yes, off the chain. If you're a seller,

125
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: they're both good. If you're a seller. Both my older

126
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: boys are in it and their team kind of thing.

127
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: So they they knew it all through COVID, so you

128
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: knew how hot and hot it was. So they were

129
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: all busy with it. Now, um my son and his

130
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: wife took advantage of it, and all that came together

131
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: last night. So we had a little celebration of our own.

132
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it was nice. So okay, cool, nice.

133
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: Got some good things on the home front going there.

134
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Love it. How about some NFL news and notes for you, Steve, Well,

135
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: all right, but it's the news and notes have been

136
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit political these last few days. Right,

137
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: But I've got something that just came down from CBS

138
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: NFL reporter Josina Anderson. She is reporting that there have

139
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: been recent attempts by the NFL, the NFLPA, and Deshaun

140
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Watson's advisers to negotiate a discipline settlement talks. However, involving

141
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: a potential number of games missed fell apart as they

142
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: could not get on the same page as if. Now

143
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: the process moves forward, according to league sources, So you

144
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: have to believe. And I don't know this, but this

145
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: is my this is my hypothesis. Watson's advisors go to

146
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: the PA and say, hey, my guy already didn't play

147
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: last year, and he's probably you know, his advisors are

148
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: probably reading all these reports like a heavy, a heavy

149
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: suspension is coming. So they're trying to get out in

150
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: front of it. They go to the PA and say, hey,

151
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do about this? My guy is

152
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: not going to play for a whole another year. You

153
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: know that's BS. We're not standing for that. You gotta

154
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: stick up for your guy here, right. So then the

155
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: PA goes to the NFL and says, hey, what are

156
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: we doing here? Can can we get in front of

157
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: this and come to a disciplinary settlement? This is unprecedented.

158
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: You don't go to a you don't go to the

159
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: NFL and say, hey, can you go easy on me here?

160
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking for leniency because I already sat out last year.

161
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I got paid and everything, and

162
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: I know I'm for a different reason. I signed out.

163
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: I know, I'm probably the most unsavory quarterback on the

164
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: landscape of the NFL right now because of what I'm

165
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: accused of on the maybe the unsavory quarterback in the

166
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: history of the league. Yeah yeah, but uh, what can

167
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: we do to have you go easy on me? Like?

168
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: What's it gonna take? And the NFL said, look, let's

169
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: talk about it. Where you where are you at? And

170
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: he probably said four games, or he probably said, I'll

171
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: do I'll do this, I'll visit this hostel of community

172
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: service service, I'll do that service. I'll I'll make a

173
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: statement this you know, searching type of statement of public

174
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: statement that that whole nine yards. And they're saying, yeah, no,

175
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: that's all well and good, but you're still gonna miss

176
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: seventeen games. Yeah I I can't. That's the only way

177
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: this meeting even happened, right exactly. I have never heard

178
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: the words discipline settlement in the NFL vocabulary in my

179
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: entire life. Discipline settlement. Who can you imagine the gall

180
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: that the Watson camp has in going to the PA

181
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: and the league and asking for a discipline settlement? Are

182
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: you out of your mind? You haven't heard it because

183
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: it's it's in the case that you haven't heard twenty

184
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: four loss of lawsuits either. You gotta have there's a

185
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: tone death. You gotta be tone deaf to what the

186
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: rest of society thinks of you right now to even

187
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: ask for leniency here everybody and I don't and certain

188
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: maybe some of the Cleveland fans are thinking this too.

189
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Everybody outside the outside of Cleveland is clamoring for a

190
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: big penalty, right, yes, I mean vert everybody m hm,

191
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: no question about it, no question about it. So well,

192
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna see. Speaking of tone deef, Steve we knew

193
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: that one Daniel Snyder was unavailable for testimony in the

194
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee investigation of the Washington Commanders. Commander's toxic

195
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: workplace environment, Roger Goodell did testify yesterday, remotely and say

196
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: what you will about the questions he was asked. Some

197
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: of them were completely off the wall and completely irrelevant,

198
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: but at least he showed up. Meanwhile, Daniel Snyder's off

199
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: in France on a yacht. Some of his front office

200
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: people are on the yacht as well, decided one of

201
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: their employees, in their infinite wisdom, decided to put a

202
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: photo up on Facebook, which eventually got out and was,

203
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, spread all over the place with you know,

204
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: they're all sitting there with drinks on the table and

205
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: kicking back and relaxing, and the hashtag was work with

206
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: pretty people. I don't know if anybody could be more

207
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: tone deaf than that. Yeah, but this is if, if

208
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: that is not thumbing your nose at the House Oversight

209
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: Committee and proving to everybody that you've learned nothing about

210
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: the disciplinary action you've faced already from the league. You

211
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: can't help those people. They can't be helped. They are

212
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: incapable of being better, just be a better human being.

213
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: They are incapable of it. Yeah, in the face of

214
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: being accused of stereotypical sex, misogynistic behaviors and toxic work

215
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: environments and all kinds of stuff, inappropriate behaviors and words

216
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: being spoken to employees the opposite sex, and then to

217
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: throw a picture like that in the midst of a

218
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: congressional hearing into that it was so bad they got

219
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: its involved in can like well, on a yacht in France,

220
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: in a place where at a time when he said

221
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: he was away on an un an unchangeable unmissable, immovable

222
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: business obligation. He's sitting on a yacht with people that

223
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: he works with. People He's not in the photo. Snyder's

224
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: not in that particular photo, but it's his front office executives,

225
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: marketing people. Yeah, I mean, it just proves It signals

226
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: to me, doesn't prove anything. It signals to me that

227
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: all of these things that they've apparently listed that they've

228
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: done to improve the organization, which I'm sure there are

229
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: some quality people they're trying to make things right at

230
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: the very very top, the messaging is not carrying its

231
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: way down in an effective way to have people in

232
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: the organization aware of just how important what they say

233
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: is going out there. I just it baffles me. It

234
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: baffles me. It's yeah, they can't get it right. They

235
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: just can't. It almost seems like they're trying not to

236
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: and well, and then they're doing whatever it takes to

237
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: get away with him, whatever they want to get away.

238
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: They're either incapable of better or they just don't care

239
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: and don't want to right and just want to thumb

240
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: their nose at the whole thing, which to me is appalling.

241
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: But there are those people out there, unfortunately, which is

242
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: why we have some of the societal problems that we do.

243
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: So whatever. But good lord man, just be better, be better.

244
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not just be better. It's it sounds

245
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: so simple. Why is it so hard for people? I

246
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: don't get it. I really don't, especially when you're that fortunate,

247
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: when you're you're that fortunate to Oh my gosh, I'm

248
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: wasting too much time on it. I'm sorry. Uh yeah,

249
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: it continues to get it continues to have more and

250
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: more clutter in the picture of this whole thing. Um

251
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: behind you know, a dark investigate or a shadow investigation

252
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: of an investigation of an investigation of an inquiry. Um

253
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: you forget that this started years ago, which is some

254
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: poor person stepping up and saying, hey, somebody should take

255
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: a look at this. It's awful, and uh, here we are,

256
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: and he just go it just with every turn, it

257
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: just goes deeper and deeper down a black hole. It's

258
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty hard. You can make it worse. But they've

259
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: done a good job of that. That's the one thing

260
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: they are good at making the situation even worse. Some

261
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: unfortunate news we already told you yesterday during yesterday's show

262
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: twenty six year old edge rusher Jaylon Ferguson passed away

263
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: tragically at his home, cause of death still to be determined,

264
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: just twenty six years of age. So the Ravens were

265
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: mourning that loss. Then they find out later in the

266
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: day after we were off the air yesterday that the

267
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: nose tackle who played twelve seasons, including the nose tackle

268
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: on the what is widely regarded as one of the

269
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: best defenses in the history of football, the two thousand Ravens,

270
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Tony Siragusa, passed away at age fifty five after playing

271
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: for twelve seasons in the NFL for Indianapolis and the

272
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: Ravens larger than life personality. I was acquainted with Tony

273
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: pretty well, and he was exactly you all know. You've

274
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: seen him on Fox Television, Fox Football and he's been

275
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 1: he was a media guy for a while after he

276
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: was out of the National Football League, and he was

277
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: exactly the same person all day, every day. Um, And

278
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: he was great. He was very well liked by his teammates,

279
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: his co workers. I liked him, had good experiences with him.

280
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: And you know, it's you know, it's it's tragedy. Uh,

281
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, in the Tech Sloops that I'm a

282
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: part of, and some of the conversations I've had. Apparently

283
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: his father passed away under the same circumstances at a

284
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: young age. Um. Apparently it's been a reporter that he was.

285
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: He was found at his home, he passed away in

286
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: his sleep. And uh, just just a constant, constant positive

287
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: on a team that was really really a good football

288
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: team that was loaded. Yeah, and uh, part of a

289
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: world champion team there in Baltimore, and yeah, he's it was.

290
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: It was a shocker for a lot of the guys

291
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: that I'm acquainted with in the league, and I know

292
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: those guys in the Baltimore team are going to miss

293
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: that guy too bad. Ray Lewis had some wonderful things

294
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: to say through the Ravens organization about him. You can

295
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: look that up on the Ravens social media. It was

296
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: really nice what he said about Tony Siragusa, his former teammate,

297
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: calling him a special person and he was so a horrible,

298
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: horrible day for the Ravens organization yesterday they lose a

299
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: current player and a former player from their Super Bowl

300
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: championship team in two thousand. On the college football landscape,

301
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: big news on the recruiting front. As arch Manning, the

302
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning. Yes, he does play quarterback.

00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: He announced on his Twitter account that he has committed

304
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: to the University of Texas. He is the number one

305
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: prospect in the twenty twenty three graduating class, so next

306
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: year this time he'll be graduating high school. But he

307
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: has committed to the University of Texas. Now here's why

308
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Currently, in the quarterback room for the Texas Longhorns,

309
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: the number two recruit in twenty twenty Hudson Card, the

310
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: number one recruit in twenty twenty ones class quinn Ewers

311
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: who transferred from Ohio State, and the number twelve recruit

312
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: for this year's class, Malik Murphy. Those are the three

313
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they already have. Arch Manning isn't even there yet.

314
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: Apparently Texas knows how to recruit quarterbacks suddenly they do,

315
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because there's something there. They

316
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: know how to talk to those kids, they know how

317
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: to how to entice them there. And why do you

318
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: go there? Though? I mean, I guess you're betting on yourself,

319
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: but I don't know that. That's just it. That's that's

320
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: how you frute. You don't get just one, you get

321
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: nine of them. You know, it's it's the way it works.

322
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not from the school standpoint. I got the

323
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: school standpoint. Yeah, I'm saying from the kids standpoint, why

324
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: do you go there? If there's you know what I mean?

325
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: It can't be about who you're not gonna be a part.

326
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: But I think it probably has to do with my

327
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: My guess is because I don't know, I've never been

328
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But if it's the right kind of quarterback,

329
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: which you know, Arch Manning and these other quarterbacks seem

330
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: to be kind of part of this thing, and they're

331
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: being sold this same I mean train of thought. Here's

332
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: what they're thinking. This is a group full of guys

333
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: who are who are gonna who are gonna be's, not

334
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: has beens, not never you know, not want to be

335
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: They are gonna be's. You want to be a part

336
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: of those guys. You want to get it, be in

337
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: a room that's gonna get you better. Even if if

338
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: you see the field, awesome, if you don't see the field,

339
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: you're still going to get a chance to go and

340
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: do all the things you want to do. As a

341
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: pro all the things you want to do anywhere else

342
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: in life, and Texas University is going to give you

343
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: a chance to do that off the football field. But

344
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: on the football field, don't go someplace where there's nobody

345
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: there that's that's as good as you just because you

346
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: want to stand out. Go to someplace that's gonna pull

347
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: you along in your development rather than lift you up

348
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: and say you gotta do it or else. You know,

349
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the selling thing, the selling

350
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: point for these programs, some of these program like Texas.

351
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: You know, you got to come in and be a

352
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: part of a group that in ten years they're gonna

353
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 1: look back and look at that quarterback room they had

354
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: at Texas that year, you know, and that kind of thing.

355
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: That's the only way I can see that kind of

356
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: room coming together is they're gonna say, listen, we're gonna

357
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a groupie and you're gonna all gonna

358
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: make each other better. The best player is gonna play,

359
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: but you're all gonna be in it together, and you're

360
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: all gonna be better because of this, and you're all

361
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: going to be able to fulfill your dreams on the

362
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: football field. Just as a reminder, Texas begins playing in

363
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: the SEC this fall. You need one of those guys

364
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: have fun against the SAC west Man. Yeah, yeah, it's fun.

365
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm telling you right now, Steve, I

366
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: know arch Manning's not going to get there till next

367
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: year at this time. That's right. As soon as the

368
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is determined for fall twenty twenty three, two

369
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: others are transferring immediately. Maybe they want to get on

370
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: the field. I get it, I get it. Look at

371
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: the other schools where that happened. Texas Tech had, in fact,

372
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield and a couple other guys. Yeah,

373
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: the field getting finished there, they end up going somewhere

374
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: else because they gotta get They know they have to

375
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: get on the field, and it may be by next

376
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: this time next year, two of the three guys that

377
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: are there now are gone. How quickly? How quickly are

378
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: other SEC schools back channeling communication to these guys. They

379
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: already got their parents on the phone, Hey, look, if

380
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, we're here for you. Yeah, and

381
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: they're probably on first they're probably on the first name

382
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: basis with him too, Like they called my dad, Gordon

383
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't work out there for Steve, you know, we

384
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: got a place for your son here. You know, think

385
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Lsu is on the horn absolutely, you know somebody like that,

386
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: like that's why it works, that's where it works. And yeah,

387
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: and I get it. Um, you know, kudos the Manning

388
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: family for the way they handle all this as well.

389
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean no, it's you know, they they tend to

390
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: do things wisely and with a lot of thought and

391
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: logic behind it. And obviously Cooper Manning, who is Archer's dad,

392
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: whose Arch's dad, brother of Peyton and Eli, and Peyton

393
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: and Eli are probably too of the what you know,

394
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: the oldest soul you'll ever come across anyway, so there's

395
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: some there's some wisdom in that room. So yeah, yeah,

396
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: so he probably went to the right plot place. They

397
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: believe me. I can, I know, I can envision how

398
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: it works. Peyton and Eli got the full scope of

399
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: the entire recruiting process given to them, if not right

400
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: there in the room firsthand from Cooper Arch's dad, and

401
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: they both said ABC, and I'm sure both of them

402
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: echoed the same ABC. And it got back to Arch

403
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: and they had said they had their say. I mean

404
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: that you know, they knew a blow by blow of

405
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: how that was going. There's just no way that family

406
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: and Cooper wouldn't use the resources that are limitless to

407
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: him for the benefit of his son, right, Yeah, and

408
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: they can't they I know it was well publicized. They

409
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: protect did Arch from all the as much as the

410
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: hounding and the these social media and that this and

411
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: the all the stuff that could have happened. They kind

412
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: of kept him out of that and went at his pace.

413
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: And kudos to them for that. But you know, there

414
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: were some there was some big helicopters circle in that

415
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: camp making sure that nothing nothing got out of hand.

416
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm still amazed that the kids junior in high school

417
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: he's got to verify Twitter account. I mean he's six seventeen.

418
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: Maybe come on, well that's the way it works. Oh

419
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, way it works. Were I am waite and

420
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: that you know absolutely. This was the first set of

421
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Shark circling. The second set will be circling Texas when

422
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback is declared for this coming season. Yeah,

423
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: because the other two quarterbacks left behind, whether it's Hudson

424
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: Carter or Quinn Euers or Malik Murphy, there'll be other

425
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: schools looking to scoop them up, telling him, hey, plug

426
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: and play, come down here, you're on the field week two,

427
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: you know whatever. I think the most interesting thing is

428
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: this when when Arch shows up at Texas, he's and

429
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: this the kids here, Yeah, yeah, next year. And the

430
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: kid there that's starting there now this year, who is

431
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: he's He's going to be a junior this year? Right, Well,

432
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: it depends who it is. Well, if it's two, I'm

433
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: talking about the kid from twenty twenty. So if Hudson

434
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: Card comes in, he's the start, it'll be his senior year.

435
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: Arch is freshman year. So it would be The reason

436
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: I say that is because Texas comes in next year,

437
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: they have a their media day. Arch Manning, probably by

438
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: the family's request or his own, won't even be made

439
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: available to the media until he's the starting quarterback his

440
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: sophomore year. Right, So Card, then Card Guard, are you

441
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: waiting until Arch manning sophomore year to put him on

442
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: the field? Don't? He's probably only staying for three and

443
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see Peyton stayed for four. Yeah, that was

444
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: a general ration ago, though not many quarterbacks doing that anymore.

445
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: Did Eli stay for four? Eli did, but that was

446
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: the two thousand and four draft, Steve, I mean that's

447
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Yeah, there are any quarterbacks staying the

448
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: whole time. Josh did, but that was because he got

449
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: injured his sophomore year. Needed the time. Who's advising the kid?

450
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: The Mannings are they stayed in college for days, and

451
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: it wasn't just to get their degree. They sped, they took,

452
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: They sheltered him from this whole private jet recruiting kind

453
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: of thing, because that's the way it should be done.

454
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: And believe me and I know how we're all this.

455
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: Let's I need instant gratification and I need my I

456
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: need Like Kyler Murray the first day eligible of his

457
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 1: extension period, you know, after he finished the calendar year

458
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: of his third contract year and a five year deal,

459
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: he was on the phone scrubbing and scrubbing his All

460
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: of that happens the days. It doesn't have to be

461
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: that way. So I would anticipate arch manning and is

462
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: planning on having a four year college experience, all right.

463
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like that family needs money and

464
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: he'll be raking it in with name, image and likeness

465
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: anyway while he's a college player. So he won't be

466
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: in anything about doubt. I mean he'll be He'll be

467
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: making half a million dollars a year just on name,

468
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: image and likeness, especially if he's a starter, maybe more.

469
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: Bryce Young made close to a million last year for Alabama,

470
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: So so there, you know, I'm thinking incentives. He'll have

471
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: plenty of incentives, and maybe we'll see I'll tell you this,

472
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: we'll see more of those mid level questionable one first rounders,

473
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: third rounders. Those guys are gonna be sticking around in

474
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: college because they will be making some good money. They

475
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: have nil deals. They will. Yeah, so if for them,

476
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: good for them. Arch Manning, I'm ALTI a five year

477
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: down the line, gentleman's bet. Arch Manning sees his senior

478
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: year at Texas. If he's as good as they say

479
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: is though, there's gonna be an awful lot of pressure

480
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: to come out one year early. But I don't know

481
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: that it's they expect him to be good. I don't

482
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: know if he's that good physically. I don't know all

483
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: that stuff, because neither Peyton or Eli was like this

484
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: superhuman physical gift guy, but they understood how to play quarterback.

485
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: You know, Arch is probably that I would say yes,

486
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe I just I just think that

487
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: I almost think it's a given he's gonna have a

488
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: senior year at Texas. All right, Well, we'll have to

489
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: wait and see. I'm not even certainly finishes there. We'll see.

490
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Who I mean, if it goes a certain way and

491
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: he can't get on the field, is he gonna stay?

492
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Just watch years tick by. I don't know. I don't know.

493
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't happen, who the heck knows. But if

494
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't go the way he's anticipating, transfer portals a

495
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: lot easier these days. He can move on. I'm not

496
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: projecting anybody else's personality or feelings onto arch Manning. I

497
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: think that kid's probably going to act and do some things,

498
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 1: make some decisions that go against the grain of the

499
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: current climate of the NCAA. Okay, well, by the time

500
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: he's playing, the NCAA and Power five football may not

501
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: even be associated anymore. So Yeah, the way it's going

502
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: all that, they're already looking to separate from the NCAA completely.

503
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: And I think a kid like with his background and

504
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: the guys that around him, that would be the kind

505
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: of place you would see a kid say I don't care.

506
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: I chose Texas for reasons other than football. All right,

507
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: fair enough, fair enough, we have to take a break here.

508
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Wanted to throw the Twitter topic out to you today

509
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: because it's a doozy. If you were Ken Dorsey, how

510
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: would you tweak the Bill's offense in twenty twenty two?

511
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: Give us your thoughts on that at eight o three

512
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty,

513
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: or on the tweet sheet at One Bills Live. We're

514
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: back with more here in a second. Stay tune. All right,

515
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

516
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: with you, and we are talking Bill's offense. You're Ken

517
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Dorsey for the day. How are you tweaking this Bill's

518
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: offense as the new offensive coordinator? You let us know

519
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: at eighth three five fifty one eight eight five fifty

520
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: two five fifty or hit us up on the tweet

521
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: sheet at One Bill's Live. Steve, does anything hit you

522
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: off the top of the head. We've been giving some

523
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: hints as to what Ken Dorsey has in store. He yeah,

524
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: we know the terminology is going to say the same.

525
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: We don't you know? He didn't give any indication that

526
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: he's reinventing the wheel. We've heard from some players. Gabriel

527
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: Datvis most notably said coach Dorsey is aggressive. He is

528
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 1: going to be aggressive. Now we know what that word means,

529
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: but how does it translate to the Bill's offense might

530
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: be a little vague, So we're left to guess a

531
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: little bit. I think if I'm sitting in the stad

532
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: this is what we're talking about. I mean, I don't care.

533
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he could really change a lot, but we

534
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: may never see it. Like I don't care if they

535
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: change their schedule during the week, and you know, I

536
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: mean how they installed plays. All that stuff's different and

537
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: all to change the world. No, we're talking about when

538
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: you're sitting in the stands on a Sunday. What are

539
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: you gonna notice this year that was absent or present

540
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: last year that is now there or absent this year.

541
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: What I want myself to see is something out of

542
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: the running back position all the time, every game, run, pass, catch, whatever.

543
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: Those guys got to be a difference maker. I want

544
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: them to run routes, I want them to catch passes.

545
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: I want to be I want our running backs are athletic, fast,

546
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: shifty running backs matched up on somebody who has no

547
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: shot at covering them, and I want to be running

548
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: all over the field with the ball in their hand.

549
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. I want to see

550
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: them catching passes out of the backfield, or at least

551
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: snapping off runs and not getting stopped for a negative

552
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: run or a one yard run. I want. I want

553
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: some production out of that position, more so than I

554
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: did than we got until that last month and a

555
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: half of the season last year. Collective production. You want

556
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: an increase there at the running back position. That's yeah, yeah,

557
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying to ascertain which way the Bills offense

558
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: pivots because last year, opposing defenses had an answer for

559
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: Brian Dables spread formations, whether it was eleven personnel or

560
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: ten personnel. They dropped two safeties deep and basically dared

561
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: the Bills a run. And the Bills in the first

562
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: half of the season weren't all that successful in doing it.

563
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: Number one and number two didn't have all that much

564
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: interest in running the football, and so it forced Josh

565
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: Allen to take shorter underneath completions and they had to

566
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: matriculate the ball down the field and remain patient. Late

567
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: in the season, though, they started using more two tight

568
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: end formations, more overload offensive line formations, you know, sixth

569
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: offensive linemen, that kind of stuff. It forced opposing defenses

570
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: to put more traditional personnel on the field. They ran

571
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: the ball effect more effectively against those formations, and they

572
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: in turn made themselves more susceptible to big plays in

573
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: the passing game because they had bigger, heavier players on

574
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: the field, and that opened up a whole new window

575
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: of effective offense for the Bills late in the season

576
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: and in the postseason. So how does Dorsey pivot off

577
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: of that going into this season is the question that

578
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: rolls around in my head all the time. I think

579
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna do a little bit of it all. I

580
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: think it's going to be simple but varied, if that

581
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: makes sense. What do I want to see? I want

582
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: to see what aggressiveness looks like. Does that mean they're

583
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: going empty and just spreading the field and saying we're

584
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: going old school run and shoot here, let's go. Or

585
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: does it mean from week to week they could be

586
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: varied in a much different way and still be taking

587
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: their fair set of shots to get some easy scores,

588
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: get up on teams and then finish off games. It's

589
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: hard to say. We don't have anything to go off

590
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: of from the past. All we can go off of

591
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: is how he's been described as when he was a

592
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: player at University of Miami and from his players who

593
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: are playing for him now. He's smart and aggressive. Those

594
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: are the two things you always here. He's aggressive, but

595
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: he's really it's a smart player, which is why you

596
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: know the pro thing didn't come through for him. He

597
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: was smart enough to be a pro for sure, smart

598
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: enough to be on a staff, smart enough to be

599
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: on a team. Uh maybe not physically gifted enough to

600
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: execute it at this level. But the guy knew what

601
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: he was doing at the college level. When he did

602
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: have some horses around him at the University of Miami,

603
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: the guy was hard to beat. Forty was the forty

604
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: eight and two. Goodness gracious, thirty eight and two. That's

605
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: pretty good stretch. So we don't know what it's gonna

606
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: look like, but I we had the expectations are understandably high.

607
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's a good thing for Ken

608
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: Dorsey or a bad thing. All I know is the

609
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: guy's in that room. It's you know, he's If it

610
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: doesn't work, um, every finger in America is going to

611
00:37:54,600 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: be pointed at him. That's right, because the spectations are high. Yeah,

612
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's been proven to work already with

613
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: these groups, those group of guys, and this group of

614
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: guys seems actually too with the changes, seems to eve

615
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: actually be better than it was a year ago, where

616
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, they put on a show that people still

617
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: talk about. Um, yeah, we'll see. But what do you think?

618
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean what we're asking you out there? What do

619
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: you you can? What do you How does this defense

620
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: look different if you're calling the place? And I think

621
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: that's an interesting too. Who's gonna what kind of play

622
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: callers he gonna be? Because that is that is an

623
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: intoxicating role by all accounts. You talk to, you go to,

624
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: you know, down to the college level. I'm telling you what.

625
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: There are guys down there, they're head coaches at big

626
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: time schools because for the only reason, they love to

627
00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: call plays. That's it. That's what their passion is. They

628
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: don't care about either rest is. They just want to

629
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: get guys on the field and call plays. It's intoxicating

630
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: by all accounts, particularly when you're good at it, and

631
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: you got some guys and you win games with ye

632
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: think about that. That's pretty fun. Having the horses helps.

633
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: Dorsey had the horses around him when he was a

634
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in college. He's got a pretty good stable here

635
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo right now. So yeah, it's going to be

636
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: interesting to see what his stamp on this offense is

637
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: going to look like. But we're letting you be Ken

638
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: Dorsey for the day. You let us know how you

639
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: would tweak the Bills offense. Let's go to the tweet sheet,

640
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

641
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Jeremy leads

642
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: us off today and he says, with the addition of

643
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: Cook and Howard, I would definitely add more screen passes. Yes,

644
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: we have seen enough of those during the Edwards Tyrod era,

645
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: but with the outside threats and Josh's Howard's their arm,

646
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: it could be a weak spot. The Bills had trouble

647
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: running screens the last couple of years because they did

648
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: not have guards that were mobile enough. I think that

649
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: dynamic has changed. Saffold and Bates, who are the projected

650
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: starting guards, both pretty mobile, so be interesting to see

651
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: if that is something that we see more of in

652
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: this offense this season, and yeah, Cook and Howard can

653
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: be a part of that for sure. Yeah, that's yeah,

654
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: all of that, I don't we said, We've talked about

655
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: it um at length for the last two years. Even

656
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, we were talking about it, and it

657
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: just never seemed to be a huge part of what

658
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: the Bills wanted to do. And my only explanation is

659
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't that Brian Dable couldn't draw them up or

660
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: didn't know how to use them, or was unfamiliar with

661
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: them or anything like that. There was just too many

662
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: other things they A first and foremost, I don't think

663
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: he ought he had guys that would execute it properly

664
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: or could had the physical set or mindset to run it. Two.

665
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: The second thing is they did so many other things

666
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: so well, they just stayed away from it. So those

667
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: two things made it just you know what we're gonna,

668
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: We're not, Yeah, we're not even gonna. I mean they

669
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: ran like one a month, it seemed like, right, So,

670
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean most teams have some of it in their offense.

671
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: The Bills completely stayed away from it. And there's tangible

672
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: reasons why. I don't know what they are, but that

673
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: it's just too glaring an absence from an offense that's

674
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: so good to be anything other than an absolute decision

675
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: at a high level, like just don't forget it, then

676
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: just don't do it. So we'll see if that changes

677
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: with Ken Dorsey because the enough things have changed within

678
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: the personnel of the offense and the coaching staff the

679
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: offense where some of that might be completely different this

680
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: year than it was just a year ago. AJ and

681

Speaker 1: you tweaking this Bill's offense? Eight oh three, five fifty

Speaker 1: to AJ and Orchard Park to lead us off today.

700
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? AJ? Hey, how are you?

701
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: Mister tasker? And Brownie good good good? I think one,

702
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: I think one of the Young Sun signings we have

703
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: this year's bring in Aaron Cromer and what he's going

704
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: to do with that offensive line and how we're gonna

705
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: be able to move people off the line and run better.

706
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: I mean, if you figure we can average at least

707
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: hopefully a half a yard or to a yard to

708
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: our run game per run, it's gonna make a huge difference.

709
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: And when we get into that four minute six minutes

710
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, we'll be able to

711
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: go too tight ends run the ball and then you know,

712
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: if we need to, we could put one of our

713
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: running backs, shift them out wide and go in an

714
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: empty set and not be able to lose a stap

715
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: at all. Right, Yeah, it's true. If if you have

716
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: a dominant run game, even if your offense can throw

717
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: it all over the yard like the Bills can, it

718
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: takes you in any time when you've got a lead

719
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: in the last well, think about it. If you got

720
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: like a ten point or a multiple point lead in

721
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: the first half, I'm saying they should do this. You

722
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: can take that running game and end the half or

723
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: end the game deeper into the quarter than you can

724
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 1: if you don't. You know what I'm saying, you feel

725
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: confident about running your four minute offense in the fifth

726
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: minute or the sixth minute of the game, of the

727
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: end of the game, if you have a team can't

728
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: stop you and you can more assured of coming away

729
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: with points. It does change things a little bit, even analytically,

730
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: when you, like you said, raise your average rush a

731
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: half even a half a yard is an enormous number

732
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So if the Bills, I don't know

733
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: what they were last year, if they were four point

734
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: something or whatever they were, if you can raise it

735
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: point five yards on the season. It's a big jump,

736
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: and you'll be able to visually sense and see it

737
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: with your own eyes how much of a difference that

738
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: is on the field. You'll be able to see it

739
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: in the results on the field. So, yeah, you're right.

740
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: If Chromer can come in and they can get back

741
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: into the realm of being in the top well, they

742
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: were the top team, but if they can get in

743
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: the top five rushing in the NFL, imagine how difficult

744
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: they will be to score more points than this club. Yeah.

745
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: Last season as a rushing offense, they average four point

746
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: eight yards a carry. That, of course is with Josh

747
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: Allen's inflated six point three yards per carry average on

748
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two carries. He's the best red

749
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: zone runner in football, so that inflates their average a

750
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: little bit. You add half a yard to that. I mean,

751
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: you're cooking with gas man, forget it right, and we're better. Yet,

752
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: how about just keeping it the same and not having

753
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: any Josh runs to mix in there and doing it

754
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: with all running backs. Then you don't risk seventeen missing

755
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: any time with a little knee tweak or an elbow

756
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: tweak like he's seen. You know, he never leaves the field,

757
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: never has a concussion. You know there's benefit in that

758
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: as well, no question about it. Let's go back to

759
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: the phones until Leslie in Buffalo next. What do you

760
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: got for us? Leslie? Oh? Okay, how you doing? Chris

761
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: good Page pay Steve. I was thinking about our defense.

762
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: I called in some months ago, mentioned Kalas Campbell. I

763
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: guess we didn't get him. We don't need him, so

764
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: we brought back um player Um, I mean um Jordan,

765
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: the big guy, Phillips, big giscol wit Hi sought defenses tight.

766
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: But I was thinking about Trayvon mart I mean Treyvon Diggs.

767
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: If we can naplicate him bringing in thank you all right? Um,

768
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a long shot at best. Guy is

769
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: like a franchise corner for the Dallas Cowboys. So Diggs, Yeah,

770
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: you're not getting him. We might get him in a

771
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: day by in the sky, thinking not get him in

772
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: a decade maybe. Yeah, they're not letting him out of Dallas. No,

773
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: you're right, yeah, yeah, yeah, So there's that. Uh. We

774
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 1: have to step aside here because when we come back,

775
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,400

00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: Bills highlights. I mean, what should be a Hall of

797
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: Fame guy, a special teamer. Um, I'm used to see

798
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: him in that Houston oiler outfit when what we were

799
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: teammates way back when. It's a lifetime ago. Yes, yes

800
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: it you know what, it has been a lifetime ago,

801
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: so much so that we're both put our readers on

802
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: when we need to look at something, our hairs brand,

803
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: the whole deal. It's a little People always say, would

804
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: you could you go would you like to go back

805
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: on the field? Now, I said, I go back on

806
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: the field. I give you two plays. The first place

807
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: I'd get hurt. The second play I'd get destroyed and

808
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: carried off the field. But yeah, we'd do it anyway,

809
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: just just for that. That's why, that's why I'd rather

810
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: be involved in youth football now. And and you're right,

811
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: USA Football is having the Blitz. They grew them all

812
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: around the countries you mentioned. At high Mark Stadium this one,

813
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: it's a free day for youth football athletes and their families.

814
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: Youth football kind of clinics, yard games, giveaways, other great activities.

815
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: You can find out all the info at USA Football

816
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: dot Com. There's so much great information there, but I mean,

817
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: USA football is to listen. We all know. I mean,

818
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure Steve you played little league football. I played

819
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: little league football. Every guy in the NFL played little

820
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: league football. So you know, we need to make sure

821
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: that it's still a viable way for kids to learn

822
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: the game of football. And USA Football has done a

823
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: great job and kind of tweaking what's going on. We

824
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: don't need the ridiculous Oklahoma drill to find out if

825
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: we have a tough ten year old anymore. We need

826
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: to learn proper technique, needs to be less hitting during

827
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: the week while they're learning that. We go from not

828
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: just flag football to tackle, but we have in between

829
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: with tackle, bar football, limited pads, limited contact, so you

830
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: can put your child, your son or daughter in a

831
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: one of the systems that will fit them best as

832
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: they're growing. So that's helped a lot. The most important

833
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 1: thing is they certify all their coaches, because this doesn't

834
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: work without the coaches buy in, you know, and not

835
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: having kind of that mentality that we had decades ago

836
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: and bringing it into the now of how to coach football,

837
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: how to coach hitting, how to coach tackling. You got

838
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: to have the coaches buying in to it. They've certified

839
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand coaches. So again with that, with

840
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: that website, you could find an league around you that

841
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: as USA Football and certifies their coaches. But these blitchers

842
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: are great, just great chance for the kids to go

843
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: out and have fun, families to go hang out and

844
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: see what's going on. So they're they're a good time. Yeah,

845
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: And there's a few areas openings as well. The ten

846
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: to fourteen year old clinics, also a special Olympics clinic

847
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: as well as girls middle school high school clinics. But

848
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: it's not limitless free. But it's not limitless, right, I

849
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: mean there's only a few spaces remaining. Yeah, you you,

850
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, you get listen. They're gonna take as many

851
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: as they possibly can. Let me put it that way.

852
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: Like I said, these have been all over the country,

853
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: especially in the NFL cities. The NFL cities, the teams

854
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: get very involved in these and that's so great to

855
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: see as well, you know, so the kids will see,

856
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's in Kansas City or Buffalo or

857
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: Cleveland or wherever they see, you know, mascots from those

858
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: NFL teams or cheerleaders, you know, kind of get them

859
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: all going saying, you know that that that's that's you

860
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: know we had we all had that dream when we

861
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 1: were a kid, right, hitting a home run in the backyard,

862
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: or scoring that winning touchdown, or uh for me, occasionally

863
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: getting a sack. For you being a gunner, I guess

864
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: running down on buns or catching a touchdown past whatever

865
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: it was. So you know, you get to you get

866
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: to to kind of kind of see the people that

867
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: are involved in it living a little bit, all right.

868
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: So for more information, you can go to USA football

869
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: dot com slash events to get more information on the

870
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: exact event happening here in Buffalo on Sunday, June twenty six.

871
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Bills here a little bit, Mike.

872
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, you were part of an Eagles team that

873
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: had high expectations. Steve obviously was part of a Bills

874
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: team that had ye expectations. The twenty twenty two Bills

875
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: have those same high expectations. How do you handle that

876
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: stuff as a player, as a team going out on

877
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,720
Speaker 1: the field every week. Well, I mean they haven't gotten

878
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: there yet, right, I mean, they have the high expectations

879
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: and they haven't paid off. You know, my years in Philly,

880
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: we had the top defense for a number of years.

881
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know, Josh Allen what this offense is, Zoe.

882
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: But this Bill's defense has been excellent under Leslie Frazier

883
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: as well. And whenever I was doing my shows and

884
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: people would say what were the great defenses of all time?

885
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: And I would mention some and they would say, well,

886
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: why don't you mention yours in Philly? And ours were great, Listen.

887
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: I mean when you have the likes of Reggie White

888
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: and Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmon, Seth Joyner, Eric Allen, they

889
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: were great defenses. But we never cashed in, right, We

890
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: never closed the deal like the eighty five Bears defense,

891
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: the two thousand Ravens, the Buccaneers you know in the

892
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: early two thousands when they had those great defenses. Well,

893
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: that's the thought process I think for the players when

894
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: they go on the field is we haven't closed the

895
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: deal yet. We haven't won it all. We feel we're

896
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: good enough to win it all, but we haven't done it.

897
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: So as good as we think we are, we haven't

898
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: reached the ultimate, you know level and raised you know

899
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: the trophy, you know, with all zeros on the clock

900
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: at the end of the Super Bowl. So when you're

901
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: that's why it's so difficult to repeat. And we haven't

902
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: had one since the early two thousand Patriots. Not to

903
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: say that you get complacent, but man, when you when

904
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: you're clawed, you get to the top of the mountain,

905
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: you're clawing hard when you reach the top of the mountain.

906
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: Then trying to do it the next year, you know,

907
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: it's hard to do number one because there are a

908
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: lot of good teams in the NFL, But all of

909
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're not You're not clawing anymore, and you

910
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: have to kind of reinvent away or reinvent a chip

911
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: on your shoulder to be the best team again because

912
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: you were that previous year. Well, Buffalo is still striving

913
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, And being a defense former defensive lineman,

914
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: you've probably seen how tough it is or how easy

915
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,479
Speaker 1: it is, or what it takes to have a bunch

916
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: of new guys integrate into that room. The single you know,

917
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: the position D line, position group, defensive ends, defensive tackles,

918
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: they've got the bills are brought back. Jordan Phillips and

919
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson. They've added Tim Settle, They've added de Quan

920
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: Jones into a room that already has Ed Oliver aj Panessa,

921
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: Greg Russo, Uh, boogie basham and oh there's this other

922
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: guy too, Von Miller. Yeah, they add to them. So

923
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: you know a lot of those guys are new, but

924
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: they do have some chops some and of course Von

925
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 1: is a star. Uh how do you think that transition goes?

926
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: What's it take for those guys to come together play? Well,

927
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, what's gonna take for them

928
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: to go to come together? So one of the biggest

929
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: differences of like old line, D line is old line.

930
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,439
Speaker 1: Those five normally play every single player, right, those five

931
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: old linemen, and they have to work the best together

932
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: out of everybody because they're out there and step together.

933
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: But you're you're not you're not rotating on the offensive line. Well,

934
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: the great defense is have a you know, six, seven,

935
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes eight deep rotation on the line, and players

936
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: understand that. So for one D lineman to play seventy play,

937
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: seventy five plays a game is tough, pass, rush, and

938
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: run block. And so if you add the ability to

939
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: roll in guys and I'm not saying everybody's at the

940
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: same level. We know they're not. But if you can

941
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: roll in guys and the and the level doesn't drop

942
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: off much. Man, let me tell you what. And you

943
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: know we talk about we have a two back system.

944
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes does one of the one either of the backs

945
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: kind of say I want to carry the ball more

946
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: D line. Man, these guys don't mind rotating because they

947
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: can stay fresh that way. And when you can come

948
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: in with fresh legs again, going against an old lineman

949
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: who's playing seventy seventy five, eighty whatever, sixty five, whatever

950
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: snaps it is, you want to have those fresh legs. So, man,

951
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: a crowded D line room where everybody is getting some burn,

952
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, is a great thing. That is just I mean,

953
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: you got the guys on the sideline who are at

954
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: the time cheering the guys on because you know you're

955
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: gonna get your shot. You know you're gonna roll in

956
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: and you're gonna play. So even though they haven't been

957
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: there and they're new guys, like you said, they're used

958
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: to playing and they're used to having some time. So, man,

959
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: having enough players to have that rotation where you're not

960
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: losing there's not a lot to fall off. Is huge,

961
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: and then you know what what can you get from

962
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: von miller Gott He goes to the Rams, does a

963
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: great job. You're hoping you can keep getting, you know,

964
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: good pass rush from him. But you know he's obviously

965
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: not an every down player, so it'll fit right into

966
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: that situation of rotating in the guy Mike that is

967
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: probably going to be under the microscope come training camp

968
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: in the preseason and more than anybody else's new offensive

969
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: coordinator Ken Dorsey. I mean, this has been a very

970
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: successful offense under Brian Dable. He picks up the torch

971
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: now and while people feel, oh, well, you know they've

972
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: got the continuity advantage. He's been here three years as

973
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach. He's got one of the best quarterbacks

974
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: in the league. How could you ask for anything more.

975
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: He's got a standard to live up to, though two

976
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: at the same time, because of what this offense has

977
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: done the last few years. So what is the best

978
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: way for him to kind of navigate that. I know

979
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: he's got to be himself, but there's a proven track

980
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: record here that I think he's got to adhere to,

981
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: at least to some degree. I think the big thing

982
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: is he's been part of the proven track record, right.

983
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: He's kind of like in New Orleans, where you know

984
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's gone, but they hired Doug Allen, so you

985
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: keep the continuity of the coaching staff and the way

986
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: you're running offense and defense. So I think that helps

987
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot. I think that's going to help here. He's

988
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: been part of the success. He knows the success. Certainly,

989
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: he's going to put his stamp on at his person

990
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: elity on it. I get it. But yeah, I mean,

991
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: it's not like he's saying, Okay, day Ball's gone, I'm

992
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: here now, it's my way. Everybody would look at him like,

993
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: are you freaking kidding me? You see what we've been doing,

994
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: We're doing pretty well. He's not going to do that.

995
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: He gets it. He understands it. To me, the thing

996
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: about this offense, and it could be tough in the

997
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: fact that Josh Allen has to be Josh Allen. You know,

998
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: for a while when that rookie year, especially towards the

999
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: end of the year, when Josh was running a lot,

1000
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: and then you come into that second year and you're like, man,

1001
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: we can't have him run that much. You gotta let

1002
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: Josh be Josh. And if that means running the ball,

1003
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: some run the ball, that's you know, and listen, you'll

1004
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: hold your breath when it happens. But if they're gonna

1005
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: reach the top of the mountain and win that Super Bowl,

1006
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna it's it's obviously gonna be what Josh

1007
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: standing in the pocket, passing, getting out of the pocket passing,

1008
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: but running the ball as well, because he is a

1009
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: dangerous runner. And while you can mitigate it some, you

1010
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: can't take it away and can't say we're going to

1011
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: protect you. Just keep in the pocket. You gotta let

1012
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: him do a sing because God knows you want to

1013
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: do a thing. Like I said, it's not always the

1014
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: prettiest thing in the world. And like I said, you

1015
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: hold your breath when he takes a shop. But he's

1016
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: a big dude. But you got to make sure that

1017
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: part of the offense states. Yeah, And as we sit

1018
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, we know the team has been playing

1019
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: extremely well the last couple of years. Josh Allen's a superstar.

1020
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys. And believe me, you're gonna

1021
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: your guys at the USA Football are gonna see the

1022
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: difference in that at the US USA Football get together

1023
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: this week in high Mark. There's gonna be a lot

1024
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,479
Speaker 1: of interest. We see it every day here on the show.

1025
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: UM and USA Football is gonna, I think, benefit from that,

1026
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: UM the way every NFL team does in its own city.

1027
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about it and the expectations go along with it.

1028
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the team the Bills have to cross

1029
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: over to get there this year? Well, I mean, listen,

1030
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: you you have you have kind of the Kansas city

1031
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: we always know is a team that's that's gonna be there.

1032
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: That's yeah, Patrick Mahomes, I know you lose Tyreek Hill,

1033
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: but that's still gonna be the team. I mean, I'm really,

1034
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just first starting in the division. I'm

1035
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: Patriots are really the only one I would think about there.

1036
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: That's if they take that next step forward. Obviously the Bengals.

1037
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean the Bengals because again, you guys know this,

1038
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: when you have that quarterback who's still on the rookie salary,

1039
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: you could build for a while, but you know, eventually

1040
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: they got to pay a lot of guys, including Burrow.

1041
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: But they have a couple of years you know where

1042
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: they can bring guys in and pay them if they

1043
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: want before they got to pay their quarterback. And even

1044
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: when they have to pay their quarterback, it can be delayed.

1045
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Like Mahomes when he signed that big deal, it didn't

1046
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: kick in for two years, like it's going to kick

1047
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: in this year, so you have a little bit of time.

1048
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be a very dangerous team. I think,

1049
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: probably one of the most dangerous teams. I would look

1050
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: at them, and then I mean the AFC West with

1051
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson going to Denver boil Boy. I like the

1052
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: two headed running attack they have there as well, the

1053
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Raiders getting Davante Adams now being reunited with his former

1054
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: teammate and car So and the Chargers I think are

1055
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: on a big upswing as well. So that division could

1056
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: send three to the playoffs. So you gotta look at

1057
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: that entire division. Anybody in the South. You know there's Tennessee.

1058
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: We know they're normally there, but they usually get stuck

1059
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: going only so far. I'd like to see what Matt

1060
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Ryan's going to do with the Colts. I think that's

1061

1080
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: five fifty if you were Ken Dorsey, how would you

1081
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: tweak the Bills offense? Got some people patiently waiting there.

1082
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: We go to Mark in West Seneca first, what do

1083
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: you have first mark here on one Bills Live. Hey Chris,

1084
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: say Steve good afternoon, afternoon. Hey. Uh. I think for me,

1085
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: it's something that I wandered about during Dable's stay here.

1086
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Um to me, it's one of the missus that he

1087
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: had been. He didn't have many, if any really smatter

1088
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: of opinion, but why he never developed a efficient three

1089
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: step drop offense to add into what we could already

1090
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: do with Josh, especially at times how our running games struggled.

1091
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: And I know that implies, you know, for short yardage

1092
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: downs and distances that way, but I think it when

1093
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: it's used properly, it can really really add a lot

1094
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: to your offense. You could set up other downs, and

1095
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: of course then it can set up your deeper even

1096
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: intermediate passing game when you can do it at any

1097
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: point in time, on any down, in any distance, just

1098
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: to keep continue getting positive yardage. And I never understood,

1099
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Now I know, maybe Josh, you know, I know Josh.

1100
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure he likes to throw the ball down field,

1101
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: so that's five and seven step drops, and he likes

1102
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: to peruse the field. So maybe he fought against trying

1103
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't know, but I think it's

1104
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: it's a weapon that if they add that into their arsenal,

1105
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: and they haven't shown it really in any consistency over

1106
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: the last several years, especially since Josh took over. I

1107
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: think you could be really, really effective. So I would

1108
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: hope they do that. What's your theory on that one, Steve,

1109
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't really have one. He's right, I mean they

1110
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: didn't do it too much. Certainly, their passing game didn't

1111
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: lack too much. We say it screen passes and he says,

1112
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,919
Speaker 1: a three step quick passing game. He's right, you don't

1113
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: really see some of it. Um, some of what they

1114
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: do is stuff that is this is you know, the same,

1115
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: but not quite the same. For instance, the quick end

1116
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: to rounds, the wide runs with Mackenzie to get the

1117
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: ball out very quickly. Done a good deal too. And yes,

1118
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: that's right. That's the biggest thing now that you mentioned it.

1119
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: If you're you can't run a quick passing game, or

1120
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: you don't run the same kind of quick passing game

1121
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: from the shotgun that you do under center. You don't

1122
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: take a three step drop in the shotgun. You just

1123
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of turn your shoulders and go right. That changes

1124
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: things for you. So yeah, I think teams that do

1125
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: that are teams a little bit more like Miami, who

1126
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: you know with with two under center, quite a bit

1127
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: more timing passing game. Yeah, it's a little bit West

1128
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Coast offense kind of thing where you drop back, balls

1129
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: out and the ball is out of the pocket a

1130
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: quarterback's hand and he reads one defender and at the defender,

1131
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: does you know one or two things? He does the

1132
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: opposite of those one or two things, and that's how

1133
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: you move the football. But I think the fact that

1134
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Josh is in the shotgun so much, like he said,

1135
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: precludes three step drops. Let's go back to the phones

1136
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty open line for

1137
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: you there, and we go to Paul in Cheek Dwagan X.

1138
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: We got for us Paul oh Odd nineteen eighties football

1139
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: buff because I had season tickets during the Super Bowl run.

1140
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: And my favorite player, obviously because I'm calling the show,

1141
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: is Steve Tasker. And the other thing I'd like to

1142
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: say is with that eighties football team, they employed the

1143
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: K gun offense, and I think that Josh Allen is

1144
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: ready to do that no huddle K gun offense after

1145
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: watching him at the end of games last year where

1146
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: it was close. Thanks for having me on, guys. All right,

1147
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: So he's he's looking for bringing back some some version

1148
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: of the K gun Steve Um. Yeah, I'll say this,

1149
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: it does fly a little bit in the face of

1150
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: what they've been doing lately because what we as we've

1151
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: been talking about, and even you and Mike Goliek who

1152
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: was just on with us, alluded to as well. You

1153
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: get matchups, you know, where you can put this guy

1154
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: on whatever guy on their defense you want him up

1155
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: against in man to man coverage. But to do that,

1156
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: you got to pull guys on, push guys, and you

1157
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: gotta experiment with personnel and formations and all of that

1158
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: other stuff. The key to the K gun where it

1159
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,560
Speaker 1: was multiple things that made it work. But one of

1160
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: the limitations of it was that we went so fast.

1161
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 1: We were in one static formation. Yeah, there's no pre

1162
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: snap motion, no pre snap motion, one static formation and

1163
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: either right or left. But it was a mere image

1164
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: of itself and we never got out of that different

1165
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: that personnel group ever. Yeah, that was one thing. The

1166
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: second thing that was good for it was they went

1167
01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: at breakneck speed, I mean fast fast. Every sixteen seconds

1168
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: they snapped the ball on average, and that takes a

1169
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: toll on the defense. But the key is obviously too

1170
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: you gotta get a first down. You can't just go

1171
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: out there at bing bing bing and you're off the field.

1172
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: You gotta punt, Yeah, you can't. You gotta get a

1173
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: first down. In fact, you gotta get a couple. You

1174
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: gotta be out there for at least five plays before

1175
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: you start to see benefits of going so fast. That's

1176
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: the third thing. And the next thing that made it

1177
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: so good was you had two Hall of Fame wide receivers,

1178
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: one Hall of Fame running back, a Hall of Fame quarterback,

1179
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: and a couple of guys on the offensive line that

1180
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: are all time greats in the in the franchise's history.

1181
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: You can't haul Will Woolford. You also had had Howard

1182
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: Ballard on that line. I mean Jim Richard, Jimmy Richard

1183
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: so At, Keith mckeller and Pete Metzlars so interchangeable to

1184
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:05,719
Speaker 1: so you had a bunch of all time great guys

1185
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: running it. Now, that is probably the elixir that solves

1186
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot of problems for offenses. But it's and it's

1187
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: no small man and no small measure. Why the k

1188
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: gun works so well as well. And some people might

1189
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: be saying, well, what's the difference whether you use pre

1190
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 1: snap motion or not? You know if if there's a

1191
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: lot of reasons. There's a lot of reasons. One of

1192
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: the biggest ones is it helps the quarterback figure out

1193
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: what the defensive coverage is going to be, because when

1194
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: you send people in motion, if you've got a guy

1195
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: following the guy in motion, that generally means it's going

1196
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: to be a man coverage call by the opposing defense.

1197
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: So now Josh is better equipped with what could be

1198
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: coming at the snap of the football and may have

1199
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: a better and quicker determination as to where he wants

1200
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: to go with the ball based on the coverage that's

1201
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: coming because the motion forced the defense to show their

1202
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 1: hand to a certain degree. So that's that's the advantages

1203
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: of pre snap motion, and a lot of offenses around

1204
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: the league have been helping their young quarterbacks by using

1205
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,560
Speaker 1: a ton of pre snap motion, and the Bills have

1206
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: done that for the better part of the last three

1207
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: years under day Ball. So whether that continues now into

1208
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: the advanced state that Josh is in now in his

1209
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: fifth season, that remains to be seen. But I would

1210
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: anticipate still seeing a good amount of that. Let's go

1211
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: back to the phones and we go next to Jerry

1212
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. What do you got for us, Jerry? Or

1213
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: one bills live? Jerry? Are there? Hello? Yeah, Jerry, you're on.

1214
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,919
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Yes, Paul It basically

1215
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: asked my question about the take on offense. What about Buffalo.

1216
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 1: Go and see if they can get a hold of

1217
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, see if he would offer to help out.

1218
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: I'm mad king Gunn. Well, yeah, I mean I don't

1219
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: know what Jim could do that, you know that isn't obvious.

1220
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: It's not It was not complicated offense. I think that's

1221
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: the thing that most people get wrong. It was they

1222
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: ran so fast that the menu of plays they used

1223
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: was abbreviated. They would go through We'd come into games with,

1224
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: you know, lots of plays and a lot that we used,

1225
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: but we would we had a basic, you know, menu

1226
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: of about six plays that they played, and they did

1227
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: a lot of and they were valid plays against whatever

1228
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: the defense, whatever sound defense they faced. Because of the

1229
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 1: rules they had. They'd have a hat on a hat

1230
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: up front, and if they sent more than we could handle,

1231
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,560
Speaker 1: we had outs for you know, for quick release of

1232
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: the football, that kind of thing, and we were all

1233
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: well versed in those things. Because we ran it so

1234
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 1: much and saw so many things against it on film,

1235
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: you could really prepare for it and you kind of

1236
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: got acclimated and it became very second nature for us.

1237
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's no secret Elix or You don't need

1238
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 1: some guy to come in and be a guru for

1239
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: the K Gun. All you need to do is have

1240
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: the courage to run it fast, stick with the personnel

1241
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: that's on the field, the best one you have basically,

1242
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: and go that's It's It's not complicated. The k Gun

1243
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: was not complicated. It wasn't some magic you know, wand

1244
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 1: that answered all the questions there. It still had its

1245
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,759
Speaker 1: issues as well, but like I said, the guys running

1246
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: it were so good they were hard to defend. And

1247
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, when Brian Dabele was first hired

1248
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator, he sat down with Jim in the

1249
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: film room. Jim came in and they talked about K

1250
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 1: Gun and other schemes, and he picked He picked Jim's brain.

1251
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I also know that Jim has a good relationship with

1252
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey. They're both former University of Miami alums, both

1253
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: former University of Miami quarterbacks. They do have a dialogue

1254
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: to with what degree of frequency, I don't know, but

1255
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: I know they've had conversations before, so I know Jim,

1256
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 1: when asked, has provided input. So take that for what

1257
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: it's worth. The whole thing, that thing worked because they

1258
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: went it was wasn't the play selection or that. It

1259
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: was the players that were running it and the speed

1260
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: with which they ran it and the success they were

1261
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: able to have early on in drives if they could

1262
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: keep a big defensive line on the field and run

1263
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: four plays right at them with a pass rush in

1264
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: you know, just quick succession. Guys, no matter as as

1265
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: can well conditioned as guys are, they were gassed after

1266
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: that because they even on a regular game on a

1267
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: hot day, they weren't running that much that they couldn't recover,

1268
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: because that's the word the conditioning was. And they doubled

1269
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: the frequency of plays that they were having to face

1270
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: in a short amount of time. And if you got

1271
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: them where they couldn't take a break, then it that

1272
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: offense steamrolled because it was like an avalanche. It gained

1273
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: speed the more plays that it was on the field,

1274
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: and for our team, one of the hardest things to

1275
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: learn was to go back and get lined up real

1276
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 1: quick because you weren't used to doing it either. The

1277
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: speed with which they ran that offense play after play

1278
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,560
Speaker 1: after play after play was enhanced by the fact that

1279
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 1: they could get those first downs early and stay on

1280
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: the field, and then the defensive line started to breathe hard.

1281
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: They started to just lean on the offensive line. Jim

1282
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 1: could have a little more time. The running game was

1283
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: better because they were just they didn't know that it

1284
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: was a run or pass because we did both. All

1285
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: those things took hold really quickly, and your offense could

1286
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: almost do whatever it want because the defensive line couldn't

1287
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: hold up physically. The success was not rooted in complexity

1288
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: of scheme. It was rooted in two things, the speed

1289
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,560
Speaker 1: at which it could be run and the execution of

1290
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: the plays within it. As long as you paired up

1291
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: the speed and the execution, you had the other the

1292
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: other side of the ball dead to rights because they

1293
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: were given half the amount of time to recover from

1294
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: the previous play than they were used to on a

1295
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: week to week basil. And that's gonna put that's gonna

1296
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: win to anybody. And like I said, you had five

1297
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, four Hall of Famer helps at the

1298
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: skill positions, and then you had a really dominant offensive

1299
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: line and so they were hard anyway, so you were

1300
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: gonna win. You had a matchup to win all the

1301
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: way across. And Jim was very good at this. He

1302
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: forget about x's and those. That guy knew where his

1303
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 1: best player was and knew who their worst player was,

1304
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: and he'd get him in front of each other. Yeah,

1305
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: so you know, he'd flipped the formation one side or

1306
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: the other. He could take Thurman out of the backfield

1307
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: and put him over there, and it was just it's

1308
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: all they needed. And it like I said, early first

1309
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: downs and the speed and execution of which and running

1310
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: that offense, you know, four five plays into that drive

1311
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: all of a sudden instead of you know second and

1312
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: two first and ten second and one, you know, first

1313
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: and ten first and ten touchdown. You know, they started

1314
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: knocking off twenty yard plays because the defensive line there

1315
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: was no pass rush and there was no run defense either.

1316
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: So the longer that offense stayed on the field, the

1317
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: shorter that it's shorter that got after you know what

1318
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, go watch highlights on YouTube. There

1319
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: are times where you're staying, You're sitting there watching going

1320
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: how much time did Jim have back there? Well, when

1321
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,839
Speaker 1: that defense was gassed, Jim conna have like five seconds

1322
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Sometimes you could see it on the

1323
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: offensive line. I mean, even in the Championship fifty one

1324
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: to three game where the Bills went to their first

1325
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you know on the second series, I mean,

1326
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 1: bless his heart, how he Long is just leaning on

1327
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: They're just leaning on those guys. They're just oh my

1328
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: goshak And it's like, you know, it's literally five minutes

1329
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: into the game and they and they've been running gassers

1330
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: for five minutes, you know, and they're just they're done.

1331
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 1: So it was a it was a concept that worked

1332
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: in the time in which it was used. I'm sure

1333
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: there are moments now when it might work. But if

1334
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna implement, you gotta you gotta, you gotta really

1335
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 1: work at it and prove you can do it to

1336
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: yourselves before your coaching staffs can have confidence to use it.

1337
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back, more

1338
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: of your thoughts. If you are Ken Dorsey for today,

1362
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: every once in a while from that younger generation. Who

1363
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: is that gay? Who is who's the old guy? Uh? Yeah,

1364
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: all right, fine, we'll take to my graduation season. That

1365
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: must be a friend of my grandpa's. Oh my gosh,

1366
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: you said that, not me. Eight three h five fifty

1367
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: to get on board. You're Ken Dorsey for the day.

1368
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: How are you tweaking Buffalo's offense? We go to Marie

1369
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 1: and Amherst next. What do you have for us? Marie? Okay,

1370
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: So I was thinking what if you use the three

1371
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: tight ends that with running back in a receiver? I

1372
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: think that um what's his name? I think Isaam McKenzie

1373
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: could flourish in this offense, and maybe a Zack Moss

1374
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield or a speedy James Cook and run

1375
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 1: a little at a pistol offense as well. Um, just

1376
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 1: a few things to get going. But the three back,

1377
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: the three tight ends, and that will be that's something different.

1378
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: I think. Not order Dame runs that. Yeah, they do

1379
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: have tight end talent there and I understand why they

1380
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: do it, and the Bills have Oj Howard now, so

1381
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 1: some interesting thoughts there, Marie. I think you're right fan

1382
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 1: of the pistol too. I like the pistol. I kind

1383
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: of do too. Marie's got some great ideas, some different

1384
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 1: ones as well. So the three tight end, one running back,

1385
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: one wide out kind of thing, I get that. Um.

1386
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna do a lot of combinations of stuff,

1387
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: and they will look for opportunities to use it. They

1388
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: have to find out during they'll find out during training

1389
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: camp which of their players and and what kind of

1390
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 1: roster they're gonna look at, whether they're gonna have we

1391
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: talked about it, maybe seven wide receivers and maybe just

1392
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,640
Speaker 1: two tight ends maybe right, or maybe there's gonna be

1393
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: you got Gilliam who can kind of double and swing.

1394
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: He's like a swing fullback tight end type, right, So

1395
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: how that all those numbers come together will decide also

1396
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: what they are willing to do on game day, because

1397
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: you don't want him. You want to go into game

1398
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: day with like a big size of your game plan

1399
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: centering around three tight ends, and then you've only got

1400
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: three tight ends on the game day roster, because if

1401
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: something happens to one of them, that whole package goes

1402
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: out the window and a lot of your game plan

1403
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 1: with it. So you've got to have enough players at

1404
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 1: each position to make it viable in case something happens

1405
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: on game day, plus special teams in all of those considerations.

1406
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, all those names, Isaiah Mackenzie, Zach Moss, James Cook,

1407
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: the pistol formation, it remains to be seen. James Cook

1408
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: is going to be a factor. I think, so's Moss

1409
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie. You and I both in the are

1410
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised. I mean, we've seen Sean McDermott

1411
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: handle this roster superbly week end week out. He gets

1412
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: the most out of it. They seem they tend to

1413
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: play hard late in the year even and they tend

1414
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: to be fresh and ready and hungry all the time.

1415
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 1: But you and I both have thought Isaiah mackenzie was

1416
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: one of those guys that I wonder why that guy

1417
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: didn't play more. You know, he seems to be one

1418
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: of the guys that has risen to every occasion and

1419
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: past every test. My only guess, and this is just

1420
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: a guess, it's in the interest of preservation. He is

1421
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: a slightly built guy. I mean, he's fast, he's quick,

1422
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: he can allude people, he can get open, he can

1423
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 1: gain separation. Can he get through seventeen games? I think

1424
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:43,240
Speaker 1: that is the concern doing that. Yeah, that most I'm

1425
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 1: not saying that is the concern here, but we've heard

1426
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: that in the past, not only from previous Bill staffs.

1427
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: I remember that was Dick Jeron's concern with Roscoe Parrish.

1428
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 1: If we play him too much, he's going to get hurt,

1429
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: and to a certain extent that did prove to be true.

1430
01:23:57,760 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying I know that's the concern here,

1431
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: but perhaps it's a factor in terms of the number

1432
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: of snaps he gets. But McKenzie said it here in

1433
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: the OTAs his role is larger in this offense this year.

1434
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: What that's going to look like, well that remains to

1435
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: be seen. But every time he's had an opportunity, he

1436
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,560
Speaker 1: has produced. So let's give him more of an opportunity

1437
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 1: and see if he produces more. That's right, and it

1438
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: is a real concern. I mean, there's no it's no

1439
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: Joe coming. Take it from somebody who kind of live

1440
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: that life out there. It hurts you know, And it's

1441
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: dangerous even when even when they're not trying to tackle

1442
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: you hard, they tackle you hard, you know. So it's

1443
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: uh and I know the game is much different than

1444
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: much less brutal than it has been in decades past,

1445
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 1: but don't let that fool you. So it is a

1446
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: concern for a guy, and you don't want to start

1447
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: depending on him. You don't not that you don't want

1448
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 1: to get the production at him or give him the opportunity,

1449
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: but you don't want to depend on somebody, depend on

1450
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 1: him and then week by week, depend on them more

1451
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 1: and more and more, because if something then does happen,

1452
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: it's a bigger void out of your offense. You want

1453
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: to spread the production out as much as you can

1454
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: so than any loss of one or maybe even two

1455
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: guys on your offense, it's like, oh we got we

1456
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: got guys who can fill those whole voids because it's

1457
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:21,799
Speaker 1: not an enormous void. Because a guy like Isaiah McKenzie

1458
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: does so many things because of athleticism and his speed,

1459
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 1: he does have the potential to fill a lot of roles.

1460
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: But if you let him do too much that if

1461
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: something does happen, all of a sudden, there's nobody who

1462
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 1: can fill that bigger role. Back to the phones we

1463
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 1: go and to Paul in Hamburg. What do you got

1464
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: for us, Paul, You're on one Bill's life. Yeah. I

1465
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: had a couple of ideas. I'd have Dorsey shut up

1466
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: top like gabled. I have Josh round the key gun

1467
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: and anything that Dorsey saw a top that he wanted

1468
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: to make a quick change to you because he saw something,

1469
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: called down to Josh and tell him, hey, do this one.

1470
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: And I'll probably also run two tight end offense, right,

1471
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: and I think the reason and people might say, oh jeez,

1472
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna run a two tight end offense? What is

1473
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: this the seventies? I don't think the Bills two tight

1474
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,719
Speaker 1: ends set is your conventional two tight end set. Because

1475
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: you have Dawson Knox and you have Oj Howard, two

1476
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: players that are capable of more than just blocking in line.

1477
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 1: You can split them out wide, you can put them

1478
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. They can win against linebackers, maybe even

1479
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 1: some safeties. And you know they have a reach advantage

1480
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: on jump balls. So because of their size and height,

1481
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: so there are options there where even though two tight

1482
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: ends come on the field and an opposing defense may

1483
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: have to respect the fact that if they come with

1484
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: a run play, we gotta have personnel in here that

1485
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: can hold up. And then all of a sudden you

1486
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: detach them, split them out wide on a check call,

1487
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: and now you're throwing the football. Now you got some

1488
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: heavy linebackers on the field. They got a problem in

1489
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 1: terms ofp in that the Bills used some of that

1490
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: last year. Not a lot, but a lot of people

1491
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: are thinking with Oj Howard here, the number of twelve

1492
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: personnel could increase. It'll be interesting to see if that

1493
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 1: in fact, we'll see. It's gonna be fun to watch.

1494
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to watch, but there's some development

1495
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 1: to happen in the preseason. Yeah, break time for us.

1496
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 1: We'll close it up with a couple more thoughts on

1497
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,040

1510
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,400

1511
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 1: if you were Ken Dorsey, work in more Mackenzie. You watch,

1512
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: He's going to show he's every bit as good as

1513
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,960
Speaker 1: a wide receiver as Beasley was, and far more dangerous

1514
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:28,679
Speaker 1: after the catch. Line him up all over the field,

1515
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands. Mike. Do the same

1516
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 1: with Austin and James Cook. Speed speed, speed kills, says Jack.

1517
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: Josh says, I would try to add more misdirection plays

1518
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: to exploit the height, speed versatility of the Bills offensive players,

1519
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: whether it's more wide receiver end, a rounds tight end.

1520
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,799
Speaker 1: Running back screens are my favorite. The hook and ladder

1521
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: play mix the play calling up with the unexpected that'll

1522
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 1: keep defense is guessing. Yeah, lots of good ideas today,

1523
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: tons of good job Bill, creative Time of year. Congratulations, Bills,

1524
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 1: mafia chants through big time congratulations. We'll give you the

1525
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: official offensive coordinator. And we've only had two references to

1526
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,439
Speaker 1: the k Gun, which is a thirty year old offense.

1527
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: They can't let it go. I won't lose hope until

1528
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 1: somebody brings up the wing tee. Then I'm gonna be

1529
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,719
Speaker 1: tick oh boy, all right, big show tomorrow, Nick Harrison,

1530
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:18,759
Speaker 1: you're resident Bill's fan headbanger on the show tomorrow along

1531
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,640
