10
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: putting out a question today because so many Bills fans

11
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: when the schedule comes out, they kind of plan their

12
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: fall and their autumn schedule around the Bills Bill schedule,

13
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: which is, you know, it's regular. We all do that normal. Now,

14
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: some of you go on road trips to these NFL

15
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: cities and.

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: You say some I think it's it.

17
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Depends on this and it does depend on the city,

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: which is what we're asking today. If you're going to

19
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: go on a road trip to the Bills with the Bills,

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: or you have gone so done so in the past,

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: what's the best trip you've ever been on. What is

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: the best city to visit for you? Going on the

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: road with the Bills. What NFL city was the coolest

24
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: trip for you, I've got a bunch of I mean,

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: I've been.

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: To most every NFL city.

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: In a couple of decades of doing this this broadcasting thing,

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of cities, and I know

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans have too, because I've done

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: Bills games on the road as well. I remember a

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: particular week two thousand and the two teens, like fifteen sixteen,

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: fourteen eighteen or whatever it was, where I was working

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: for CBS and the Bills played in Tennessee.

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: Wow, see you've read.

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: It was they old town Nashville was It looked like

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: a Bill's watch party. And that was on a Friday Saturday.

37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: And that was during the drought. You're saying, so yeah,

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: oh yeah. In the last five years, completely in the drought,

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: it's felt like almost every road stadium, especially you know,

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: a fun city like Nashville that's like the bachelorette capital

41
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: of the US now that's loaded with Bills fans. Miami,

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: that that final.

43
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: Game Miami has become a tradition. Almost yes, it almost

44
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: doesn't even count as a road trip anymore. It's like Yeah,

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: we're going down to the for the game. But yeah,

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: that Miami is a good one. There's some sneaky good

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: ones too that you don't go to very often. Here's

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: the thing too, if I remember, think about this in

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the COVID year when none of us could

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: go on road trips, it was the It was the

51
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: road trip year of all road trip years for the Bills. Vegas,

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Seattle, Denver.

53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: I think Nashville was on that Nashville was on that trip.

55
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: It was the road trip season of all road trip seasons,

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: and nobody could go. I'll never forget that because it

57
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: really struck because I'd been to all those cities and

58
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: I know what it's like in those cities, and I

59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: just knew that the Bills fans were just gonna go

60
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: crazy that in that year. Yeah, they were at Miami

61
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: early in the season, at Vegas early in the season,

62
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: then Tennessee. Then they were in New York, at Arizona,

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: that was the other one. Arizona they were at, they

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: were at San Francisco, they were at Denver. So yeah,

65
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: they did not go to Seattle. Seattle was a home,

66
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: but they went to all those other cities, and it

67
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: was just I just knew the Bills fans were gonna

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: go crazy over those roads, and they never got to

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: go on any.

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: Of them, I know. And so with this question, best

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: city in terms of entertainment when you're not watching the

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: Bills food stadium. Some stadiums are certainly better than others

73
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: in terms of just your viewing experience, or the concourses

74
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: are too crowded or they're great, or the food selection

75
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: during the game. So whatever you want to say, whatever

76
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: your reasoning is, at one Bills live on Twitter or

77
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: on acts or give us a colle just either tell

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: us the story or based on the twenty twenty four schedule,

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: which away game are you most looking forward to, maybe

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: actually traveling to with your buddies or even with your family.

81
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's in addition to our regular Friday fan mail. Back.

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: Of course, they're going to to Miami early, they go

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, Houston, all those cities are going to be

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: on the on the dockets. So it'll be it'll be

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: fun to see what Bills fans really think of, you know,

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: at Houston at the Jets. I don't know if any

87
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I don't know, isn't it a

88
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: thing to go to New York for the game because

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: the city's great to visit.

90
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lot of people from Buffalo

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: who live in New York City that just go. I

92
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: don't know if a lot of people make the the

93
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, seven hour trip down just because they every year,

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: but I think so many Buffalo transplants in the New

95
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: York City area that ultimately go to.

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this one of the one of the cities

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: that's that caught me by surprise when when I was

98
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: working for CBS and going to games everywhere, and we

99
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: didn't we rarely got NFC games. We did once in

100
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: a while. But one of the cities that I went

101
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: to hand more than a handful of times, which was

102
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: just phenomenal, was Seattle. I really caught me off.

103
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: Bill's Golder this year we gave.

104
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: Seattle's got if you stay right downtown in Seattle, everything's

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: walkable and it's you know, it's got that great kind

106
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: of coffee shop vibe of it. The Pike Market is

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: right there as well.

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: They throw the fish right.

109
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been to San Francisco as well. San Francisco.

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Used to stay in San Francisco, is said up, you know, now.

111
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: The states in Santa Clara, we stay in.

112
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco and you walk through Chinatown and the whole thing.

113
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: It was, there's some cities that are really cool to

114
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: go to, but Seattle was the one that caught me

115
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: off as being one.

116
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: That's it intrigues me. Yeah, because Pacific Northwest is just

117
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: so far away. I feel like it's it's just a

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: totally different culture there that a lot of times I

119
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: always say this, whether you're in Buffalo, you're in Chicago,

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: you're in Pittsburgh, you're in Cleveland, you could be set

121
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: on a street corner in any of those cities. It's

122
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: kind of the same thing. There's a bar here, a

123
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: hotel there, a restaurant there. Seattle to me where it

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: is with the weather like you're saying that right.

125
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: On the Was it not the Puget Sound. Maybe it

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: is a Puget Sound, I don't know, but that, yeah,

127
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 1: it's great.

128
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: Just that's always intrigued me, just because I've never been

129
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: that far out. I've been to San Francisco. I was

130
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: actually born in San Francisco, but Seattle. Never been there.

131
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: That seems like a really cool one. And it's only

132
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: October twenty seventh, week eight, so the weather shouldn't turn

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: that cold yet. In Seattle. Probably will rain, though it

134
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: rains a lot.

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: Another one, another interesting city that has become part of

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the landscape in the NFL pretty regularly is Indianapolis because

137
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: of the combine, right, the combines there. They've got a

138
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: great they've got a really nice stadium which helps, enough hotels,

139
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: and it's walkable.

140
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: You just a drive too.

141
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you stay downside, you stay downtown, and you can

142
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: walk everywhere. And they that's a nice city too now.

143
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: And they've got restaurants that are really good there. It's

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: not just you know, steakhouses and stuff. It's also other

145
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: stuff as well. It's a city that's built for having

146
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: tourists come in even though it's just a kind of

147
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: your hohum Midwestern city.

148
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're in Indianapolis, and I've been, I've been

149
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: grateful to be able to go there to a lot

150
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: of combines the last decade. If you go in any uber,

151
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: they will tell you that there's a convention in that

152
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: city almost every weekend because of the convention Center. Lucas

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Oil like you just said, being in the Midwest, it's

154
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: not your run of the mill Midwest city. So that

155
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: was one that I was going to pick myself. But

156
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: I've just been there a lot. But you're totally right.

157
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: You can be inside the convention Center and walk city

158
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: blocks inside, so even if it is a little bit

159
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: colder November tenth, week ten, when the Bills play the Colts,

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: you can be inside the whole time.

161
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then of course then you can go to

162
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: La and December eight they're in La. That might be

163
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: the big one. The Bills have played well. Sofi Stadium

164
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: is something to really see. I think I've never been there.

165
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: It's one I would like to see if if I've

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: heard that too, I haven't. There's only a couple of

167
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: them I haven't been to, and that's Vegas and so.

168
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: Fi because they're new because they're the New Years.

169
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: So that that would be one that would be really

170
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 1: I think is going to be big with Bills fans,

171
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: although there's always Bills fans out there.

172
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: And what about Detroit the next week week fifteen, December fifteenth,

173
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: when they played on Thanksgiving, my extended family went. They

174
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: said it was better than they expected. I kind of

175
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: feel like Detroit in a way kind of carries that

176
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: negative reputation like Buffalo, smaller city, rust belt city that

177
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: kind of had its heyday long time ago. They had

178
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: a great time when they were there a few years

179
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: ago on Thanksgiving.

180
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: I think Detroit has a little bit of a shine

181
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: on it now, not just because their team is playing better,

182
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: but also the way they handled the draft, Like seven

183
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people with that draft. It was like a

184
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: record setting event, and so people are ready to go

185
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: back and kind of check it out because it has

186
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: There is some right there downtown where it used to

187
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: be everything was vacant. Now it's kind of livened up nightlife,

188
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: there's a bar scene, the whole thing is down there.

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: So it's nice.

190
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: And is that the city where like the Lions are,

191
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Like ford Field is here, the next block is the

192
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium, the Red Wings are. They all pretty close.

193
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that close, but it's it's there,

194
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: and ford Field is. I think they did the right

195
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: thing coming in from the Silver Domain out in Pontiac

196
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: was way years ago. It was way out there. Putting

197
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: the stadium downtown and it works for Pittsburgh because they didn't.

198
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if they Maybe they did, they didn't,

199
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: but they didn't really build it, like clear the deck

200
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: and build it. They they kind of built it on

201
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: the side of a warehouse that was already there. Hence

202
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: the weird not the weird, but the unique way it's

203
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: built inside Ford Field just kind of emerged out of,

204
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, the decay of what they had. They've repurposed

205
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: it virtually and it's really cool.

206
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: Plus I mean trip too.

207
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's an easy trip and Bills fans know

208
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: it because a couple of games that have been snowed

209
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: out here and then let's go next door, let's go

210
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: to the neighbor's house and go over and have it

211
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: in Detroit, which we've done a couple of times. So

212
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: a ton of people are familiar with Detroit who may say,

213
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I had a good time, I'm gonna

214
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: do it again. There might be a little bit of that.

215
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: So we're asking you, what is your favorite road trip

216
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: that you've taken as a Bills fan or one of

217
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: the favorite cities that you want to go to you

218
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe haven't been to yet this year. Give us a

219
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: call at eight or three zero five to fifty or

220
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: call us. And if you have other questions about the Bills,

221
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: about the roster, about what's going on with the training camp,

222
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: give us a call as well. Let's go in and

223
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Now around the NFL brought to you

224
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: by Coaleida Health. A lot of stuff going on, and

225
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this. It's a list season where

226
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: everybody's ranking their best. The top tight ends in the

227
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: league were ranked. Both the Bills' primary tight ends got votes.

228
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: Kinkaid number eight on the top ten tight ends in

229
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: the NFL. Some pretty lofty, some pretty lofty praise for

230
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: a guy who only has one year. Yeah, one year.

231
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:17,359
Speaker 1: Kinkaid played extremely well coming down the stretch, and I'm I,

232
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's any place but up for.

233
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: This guy totally. What I thought was interesting too that

234
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: you mentioned Dawston Knox also getting votes. It's easy after

235
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season to think, hey, you know,

236
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: just push Dawson Knox into the shadows. You have this

237
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: rookie in Dalton Kinkaid that if it weren't for Sam

238
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: Laporta in Detroit, he would have been, you know, setting

239
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of records in terms of rookie tight end

240
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: production in this series where it's done by Jeremy Fowler

241
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: from ESPN who and we've talked about this all week.

242
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: He polls executives, coaches, and scouts around the league to

243
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: get their top ten. They're kind of collective top ten

244
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: at each position. Those people making the decisions still understand

245
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: that Dawson Knox, even coming off his injury, is still

246
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 2: a really good that it was easy to kind of

247
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: push him to the shadows because he was injured for

248
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: such a long stretch and it kind of coincided with

249
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: the really leap in prominence in the offense for Dalkincaid

250
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: that when it comes to being a three down tight

251
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: end blocking, being a great red zone threat, that really

252
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: Dustin Knox has always been since he was drafted by

253
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: the Bills in twenty nineteen, that he still is held

254
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: in high regard around the league.

255
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you bring Kinkaid into the mix, and he

256
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: busts out of the gate with seventy three catches and

257
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: a really efficient, like eighty plus percent catch rate. He

258
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: didn't drop any balls six hundred and seventy three yards.

259
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: Just you know, it's really nice to see the around

260
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: the League people see the same things we're seeing here

261
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. The guy's really good and they're expecting big

262
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: things from him. Knox, you know, with the season he

263
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: had last year where you know, I had at least

264
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: one injury with the wrist, and I don't know if

265
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: he had another one early on or not, but you know,

266
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: he was out for a while, he was out for

267
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: a stretch and had surgery. So tough to you know,

268
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: not to have somebody at least step into the fray.

269
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: But kin k doing a nice job. Knox got votes

270
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: to be a top ten tight end, uh, but kin

271
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Kay got him and so there you have. And I

272
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: thought was pretty interesting and it spells nice things for

273
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: the Bills offense. I'm I'm excited about what Joe Brady

274
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: can do with these two guys. I don't think they're

275
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna be exclusively a you know, twelve personnel set, but

276
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: man o man, I think they were going to it

277
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot early in the season until Knox got hurt.

278
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's what's interesting too, is that we're kind

279
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: of in this I don't want to say renaissance at

280
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: the tight end position, but you have Travis Kelcey. You

281
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: still have George Kittle, Mark Andrews in Baltimore who dealt

282
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: with an injury late last year, but when he's healthy

283
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 2: is one of the elite guys. You have the young

284
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: guys like Kincaid and Laporta. What a lot of teams

285
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: don't have is two quality players, which is why you

286
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: don't see a lot of twelve personnel just based on

287
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: what it does to a defense. You come out with

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: two tight ends on the line, it looks like a

289
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: run play, suddenly there's play action. There's just a huge

290
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: mismatch for the defense to not be able to cover

291
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: both of those guys, and both Kincaid and even Dawson

292
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: Knox high level athletes who can get open. We've seen

293
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox. He's on, he's on, angry, runs quite a

294
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: bit on Good Morning Football for what he can do

295
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: after the catch. So what you're saying, Steve is spot

296
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: on in that they're not going to be exclusively twelve personnel,

297
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: but unlike most teams, they can run that formation or

298
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: that that personnel group and get quality efficiency from Dawson

299
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: Knox and l Kinkaid.

300
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: So what did you think of it? Speaking of Titan

301
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: is what do you think of this. John new Smith,

302
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: who was just recently with the New England Patriots, might

303
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: still be.

304
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: He's with the Dolphins.

305
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: He's with the Dolphins on yep. He was on this

306
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: thing called the Dive Bar podcast and he said this

307
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: about Buffalo. It's the worst place you could be in

308
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: the world. He trashed Buffalo and he trashed the Wings,

309
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: trash the fans, all that stuff. You really think he

310
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: believes that or is this a play to try and

311
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: get the Bill's Mafia to give to his charity. I mean,

312
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: he was on the podcast promoting his charity, a golf

313
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: tournament or something, I don't know what, and John new

314
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: Smith trashed Buffalo.

315
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: It's He's definitely on Bill's Mafia's radar, now, that's for.

316
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Sure, right, And there's a lot of Bill's Mafia on

317
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: social media going who is this guy any because they

318
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: can't remember who he is. He did play for the

319
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Patriots last couple of years, so he did have some moments.

320
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's to me, it's like, yeah, okay, his.

321
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: Best season with the Patriots twenty eight catches for two

322
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four yards and one touchdown in twenty

323
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: twenty one. Yeah, last year with the Falcons fifty catches,

324
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: five hundred and eighty two yards, three touchdowns. So he's

325
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: coming off a career year, gets traded to the Dolphins.

326
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: We had that color yesterday that said, oh, that's the

327
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: key to the Dolphins is having a good tight end.

328
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: Is John new Smith a good tight end? I think

329
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: he's more lower tier. He can play in the league.

330
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: He's been in the league since twenty seventeen. Uh, but

331
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: it's just kind of a weird comment from kind of

332
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: an obscure player that's now on his second.

333
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: And for me, I've listened. I don't need I don't

334
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: need John hu Smith to praise the Bills fans.

335
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him.

336
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: We're fine without having every guy in the whole world

337
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: say good things about our fan base. So it's no

338
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: skin off my chin if he likes us or doesn't

339
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: like us. But I would, and I got I got

340
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: enough grace for him to say whatever he wants. But uh,

341
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: for me, you gotta know too. When they go on

342
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: these podcasts up they kind of point that they kind

343
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: of poked these guys with sticks trying to they're trying

344
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: to get John new Smith to dog somebody, so that

345
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: that could get like we're doing so it gets it

346
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: gets some attention because so John new Smith just trying

347
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: to be on the podcast. And if they say yeah, okay,

348
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: now some guys they get it, I mean they're gonna

349
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna call it out and stuff. And John new Smith,

350
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's going to the Dolphins, so he knows

351
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna see Buffalo fans at least twice this year.

352
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: But you know, whatever, to.

353
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 2: Me, what's great about it or the potential in this

354
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: And you certainly know from your playing days as a

355
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: kid watching Bill's Dolphins with Brian Cox, that made those

356
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: games better. When Mike McDaniel a few years ago was

357
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: wearing the I Wish it were colder shirt before they

358
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: came up here and there was that almost like blizzard

359
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: before that night game where Tyler Baston got pushed back,

360
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: I think that makes it better that to see Mike

361
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: McDaniel wearing that shirt I wish it were colder. He

362
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 2: knew the forecast in Buffalo heading into that week for

363
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: his his you know Miami team that they don't see

364
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: under seventy degrees all year. If this, if John new

365
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: Smith can become more relevant than what he's done on

366
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: the field has kind of made him be and he

367
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: becomes a target and it adds more intrigue to Bill's Dolphins.

368
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: Like I kind of wish that we still had more

369
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: Bills Dolphins rivalry with the teams really don't like each other,

370
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: that was always fun in the nineties.

371
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, that is true. It does add It does

372
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: add some juice to the to the rivalry, no question

373
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: about it. The thing about it, those those nineties teams,

374
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: both both the Dolphins and the Bills were you know,

375
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: chock full of dudes. You know, the Bills were full

376
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: of Hall of fame guys and the Dolphins with a

377
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: Hall of fame head coach and Dan Marino and and

378
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: the most hated guy in the NFL at a certain

379
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: point was Brian Cox. He was getting out of thrown

380
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: out of a game every two or three weeks. He

381
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: was getting thrown out of a game.

382
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned to me once, I think that a lot

383
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: of you guys didn't really love Brian Cox, but you

384
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: would have taken him on your team.

385
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Oh, he's we would have taken there with Jim and

386
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: all our guys. You know, we were loaded. So really

387
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: we thought and we had this conversation in our wide

388
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: receiver room with Charlie Joyners, our wide receiver coach. He's

389
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, and James Lofton and Andre Reid

390
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: and me and Don we were sitting there talking about

391
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: when when Brian Cox was at is worse when you

392
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: know he was that way because he cared right and.

393
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: He was passionate.

394
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: He was passionate and he was We were watching him

395
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: on film and Charlie the wide receiver. I probably told

396
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: a million people this story, but Charlie Joyner said, listen,

397
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: you guys see this and we were watching him playing.

398
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: He was chasing guys down. He goes, that may be

399
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: the guy on that team that we would want on

400
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: our team. That's the kind of guy. That guy right

401
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: there is the kind of guy we would like. He's

402
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: the only guy. We got a Dan. We got Jim.

403
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: We'll take Jim over Dan. Although Dan's great. We got

404
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: the other guys. You know, No, that's the guy that

405
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: every team in the league you got to have one

406
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: of those, at least one. I made the point here

407
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: once in a while, you get it. When early on

408
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: in like twenty eighteen, the Bills needed a little bit

409
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: of that, and they went out and got John Feliciana.

410
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: He was one of those guys.

411
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Now it's you know he might there's some guys on

412
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, Spencer, it's Spencer Brown's a little bit

413
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: like that. You need guys who if there's a fight

414
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: on the field, if they're not in the middle of

415
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: the fight, they want they're trying to get there. They

416
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: want to be they want to be the point of

417
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: the spear, right, They want to be be that. Leonard

418
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: Fournette was like that for the Jacksonvillejaggers. Remember when he

419
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: ran all the way across the field and him and

420
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: Shack got throw Shaq laws and got thrown out of

421
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: the game. You need some guys on your team that

422
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: don't have a little grit you just jokingly saying, I

423
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: just don't think guy shows up on time. Do whatever

424
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: you want, just to show up on time, right, because

425
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: you need his attitude. Those guys that just do not

426
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: care about anything else except getting on the field and playing.

427
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Cox was one of those guys for the Miami Dolphins.

428
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: And I think there's a place for those guys on

429
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: your team and the personality of your team.

430
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: It's a physical game and it adds to rivalries. It

431
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: makes you, I think, as a team a little bit

432
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: more intimidating, even if you just do have the horses

433
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: to beat up on any team. And one last point

434
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: on this, I think whether it's Spencer Brown, Dan Dawkins,

435
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: it's good that for the Bills this iteration of the

436
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: roster that those guys maybe are on the offensive line.

437
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: We've talked about it all week, how many hits Josh

438
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 2: Allen takes. And I think those linebackers, defensive ends, safeties,

439
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: they're trying to get a lick on Josh Allen a

440
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: lot of times. There are some late hits. You don't

441
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: necessarily want those things to happen to your franchise quarterback,

442
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: your you know, elite quarterback, without them coming to his

443
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: rescue right away and saying, hey, look like we're not

444
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: going to just let anyone take cheap shots on Josh Allen.

445
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Right, So, I don't know how we go. Oh yeah,

446
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: the Miami John with John new Smith. Yeah. Also in

447
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the around the NFL. I don't know if you remember this,

448
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: a guy named Steve Gleason was a special teams player

449
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Saints. He is He received an

450
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: NFL Honors Award. He he received the Arthur as Arthur

451
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Ash Courage Award at the SP's Night for his work

452
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: on with ALS awareness as lou Garrig's disease. He's been

453
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: afflicted with it and still doing great work, although it's

454
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: deteriorated him physically over the years. He had an absolutely

455
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: spectacular speech last night receiving this award with his son

456
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: on stage with him. His son was conceived just after

457
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: he was diagnosed with ALS, and of course now his

458
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: son stands with him on the stage as Steve Gleeson

459
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: can't stand. And I bring your attention to this because

460
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: of this as a special teams guy, I've talked about

461
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: this a couple of a bunch of times where the

462
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: play that Steve Gleason, you can sum Steve Gleason's entire

463
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: career up into that one play. It was a blocked

464
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: punt touchdown. It returned for a touchdown in the first

465
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: game in New Orleans in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina

466
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six.

467
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: That's huge for that city.

468
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: Though, let me tell you something, there's nothing like it.

469
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: I get emotional when I talk about it because of

470
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: what it meant to the city and what it meant

471
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: to football, and what it said about the fact that

472
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: Steve Gleeson is the one who did that, not that

473
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: he was subsequently diagnosed with als, but because he was

474
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: a special like he was like me. I guess is

475
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: why I get emotional about it. He's a guy who

476
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: was overlooked. He just wanted to play. He did it

477
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: with guts and determination. He worked really hard for it

478
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: and made a play that resonated far beyond the boundaries

479
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: of football. Absolutely, and that I was doing it. We

480
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: went back down. I was with CBS. We were down

481
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: there for the Super Bowl between there was the lights

482
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: out Super Bowl, the Super Bowl between the Niners and

483
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: the and the Ravens, and we were doing some stuff

484
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: out around. I went to a flag football game and

485
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: that was put on by the Mannings, the Manning brothers,

486
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: and Steve Gleeson was a part of it. It was

487
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: for charity and stuff. And I was doing a stand

488
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: up for CBS for the pregame run up, you know,

489
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: all the stuff they did during the the whole network

490
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: was down, so we were working hard all week doing

491
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: stand up and doing little packages for the show. And

492
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't get through the stand up because I kept

493
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: crying in the middle of it thinking about Steve Gleeson

494
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: blocking that stinking putt, and I couldn't get through it.

495
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: It took me like it took me like twenty takes

496
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: to do it without finally bringing up. So I just

497
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: want to bring that up to you, Steve Gleeson.

498
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: He's done so many great wis and to do it millions.

499
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: And to do it from the position he's in, I

500
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: just want to mention that he gave an absolutely spectacular

501
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: speech delivered as best he could last night on the

502
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: SPI's about what it is to be challenged in life

503
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: and to overcome it. So kudos is to Steve Gleeson

504
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: and the sb Awards for recognizing his work, as well

505
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff going on this. Uh, the

506
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: thing that we kind of did show on this a

507
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: while back about what players you're looking forward in, like

508
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: the LA, the A and the B players. We're talking

509
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: about this. Greg Russou has been mentioned by a lot

510
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: of people as being you know, what if and this

511
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: happens once in a while, right before training camp is

512
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: over or right as the regular season is about to begin.

513
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has been known to extend a.

514
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: Guy Dean Dawkins, Trey White.

515
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: Right, Milano, I think happened late. Maybe I think it did.

516
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: I think it happened late in that off season. Maybe

517
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: it happened, But yeah, the point is made. The point

518
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: is made Brandon Bean spends some money right before the

519
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: season starts. Greg Russau might be on that list to

520
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: happen next. This is from ESPN News and as teams

521
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: that things teams should do right before the season starts,

522
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: and this article made the assertion that Greg Russeau is

523
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: on the it could be on the cusp of having

524
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: an explosion type year, and that Bills should extend him

525
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: now before he before he's too expensive. Right, makes some sense.

526
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: You need to have some stability on your roster, particularly

527
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: in this last offseason probably illustrated as much as anything

528
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: where you the Bills set this trend for having all

529
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: these guys on one year deals because it really it

530
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: clears out your cap at the end of the year. Right,

531
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of You're gonna have some cap

532
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: room just because of the guys that are gone off

533
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: your roster. Now you're only gonna have like you only

534
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: have that thirty guys on your team, but you got

535
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot of room, right. I think at some point

536
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say, you know, we gotta we

537
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we got some guys, some core guys

538
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 1: tied up at some key positions. I think Greg Russou

539
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: could be the next guy.

540
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: And he has been the staple of consistency for the Bills.

541
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: He's dealt with a few, like minor injuries that have

542
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 2: kept him off the field a little bit, but he's

543
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: been mostly very durable coming in off the COVID year.

544
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: Didn't play his final season at Miami. The Bills drafted

545
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: him late in the first round twenty twenty one, with

546
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: only seeing one year at Miami, so we didn't really know.

547
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: He was twenty one years old, one year, high level production, long,

548
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: freaky athlete. To me, the most uniquely shaped edge rusher

549
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Like six seven, two fifty two sixty

550
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 2: run stopping is very good. The sacks maybe have not

551
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: been to the level that people wanted for a first

552
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: round pick, but the pressures have been there. He's forcing

553
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: a quarterback off his spot, and he's worked harder. He's

554
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: built his body up when he came into the NFL.

555
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: I remember seeing him at Saint John Fisher College and

556
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: was like, man, he looks like a tall defensive back.

557
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: He's really built on his frame. Everything from the locker

558
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: room and the culture side. He fits the mold of

559
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: the Matt Milano and the Dion Dawkins and previously Tredevius White,

560
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: who fits the Bills culture. He's been a durable player.

561
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: He can play all three downs and if you're looking

562
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: at the top ten at the edge rusher spot, they're

563
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: making north of twenty million in close to thirty million

564
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 2: per year. They get it done. Like you're saying, right

565
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: after training camp or early in the season, it would

566
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: probably save the Bills a couple million dollars or maybe

567
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars. If he does have this

568
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 2: breakout year and is actually an unimpending free agent unrestricted,

569
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: he could make a lot more.

570
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think about it. Here's and here's the thing.

571
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: There's two sides of this. He's like you said, people

572
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: would say, and I think it's an app it's a

573
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: really good description.

574
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: He's a steady guy, very steady.

575
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: Very solid, very solid. But he hasn't had very many

576
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: moments where he's been spectacular. You can point to a

577
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: couple of like the batted pass in Kansas City a

578
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: few years ago. I think it was a rookie year.

579
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: So he has had a lot of steady, solid play,

580
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: and certainly you got to label him as dependable. What

581
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: are the chances that you can pay him like that,

582
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: like a steady, dependable player long term and then have

583
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: him elevate into a great player. That's right, that's right.

584
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Is he that kind of guy? Does he have that

585
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: in the tank? That's the real question. None of us

586
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: can tell the future. But that's the kind of gam

587
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of rule of the dice. And and here's

588
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: the thing, here's the reason why I would do it,

589
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: and I agree with the article extend the guy and

590
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: getting him for this as this, you're paying him like

591
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: a solid, steady pro who fits your call, it's your

592
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: culture and all that. And he has been rock solid

593
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: the entire time. I think you pay him like that,

594
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: rock solid because you trust he's earned the trust that

595
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: he's never gonna dip.

596
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Okay, he's not gonna the floor's not.

597
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: Gonna drop out, So you're gonna get if you pay

598
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: him like that guy, he's gonna stay that guy. He's

599
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: that type of player at least, But if he does elevate,

600
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: then your everything above that is gravy and you get

601
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: that value out of the contract and on the field.

602
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: So I think he's proven that that's who he is.

603
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how likely it is that he's got

604
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: more under the hood that he's gonna turn into this

605
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: elite guy, because I think we would have seen it

606
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: by now. But I think this is who he is

607
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: and and you should pay him for because he's gonna

608
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: be able to give it to you for a long time.

609
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: This level of play.

610
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure how much better he can get,

611
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: but I do think there's some evidence that it's maybe

612
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: a stronger likelihood than maybe both of us think. He's

613
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: only twenty four years old. He came into league incredibly young.

614
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: His three years of quarterback pressures as a rookie thirty six,

615
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: in his second season fifty one, and last year sixty two.

616
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: So is he going to make another ten to fifteen

617
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: quarterback pressure jump and now he's suddenly seventy or eighty

618
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: pressures that's near the top of the league at the

619
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: edge rusher spot. Again, only twenty four years old, the

620
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: body has gotten bigger and stronger. He's filled out that

621
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: lanky frame. That would make me think that the Bills

622
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: and they drafted him knowing he's more of a long

623
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: term project. He's kind of a Spencer Brown type.

624
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, him being twenty four, he seems like a twenty eight.

625
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: Year old, very mature, very dependable, and those pressures have

626
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: gone up every.

627
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: Moreen you think about him hout how long he's been around,

628
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: It's like, man, he's just not going to you, you know. Yeah,

629
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: So'm I like that too. He's a young guy, get

630
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: him extended, take him to his twenty eight or twenty

631
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: nine year and let it ride. I would kind of

632
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: be on the board with that. And for a guy

633
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: of his personality and what he's given to the team,

634
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: you almost might guarantee a little bit more of it

635
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: to to get entice him to sign it. Like, over

636
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: the course of the contract, you're gonna earn a lot,

637
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: but you're gonna get a little bit of a time

638
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: over a long period of time. I'm I'm I'm all

639
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: about that. I think that's a that's a great Uh,

640
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Did you see this across the league?

641
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: So the Chargers moving to La from San Diego. They

642
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: got a new facility they're gonna did you see the

643
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: new facility has a logo pizza oven in it.

644
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: And I'm not shocked with how insane these NFL facilities are.

645
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. It's that they're chargers. They're a white

646
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: helmet with the obviously with the charger logo on it.

647
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: And then and you know their cafeteria. They said, let's

648
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: have a pizza oven, look like one of our helmets.

649
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: It's kind of cool.

650
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: I have a pizza oven with a help. Yeah, that

651
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: that might be a step too far from me.

652
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: You don't need to.

653
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: I like pizza, don't get me wrong. Yeah, but it's

654
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: probably California pizza.

655
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: Anyway, there you go, man, it's not Buffalo pizza.

656
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo pizza. All right, Steve Taster and Christa Passa, we're

671
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Steve, Well, when we played when the Bills played

672
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: jackson Bill a couple of years ago, the excellent trip up.

673
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: Besides we know we lost nine to six, you know

674
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: we were there. I took my son's a twenty oh

675
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: been around with Jacksonville. Was real easy. And then they

676
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: had his work restaurant. But you actually can get on whatever.

677
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: You got a cairo or truck, you get on a

678
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: boat and it takes you over the water. This seafood

679
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: restaurant and uh, you know we had fry alligator. You know,

680
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: we loved it. The Jacksonville, the pool in the stadium

681
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: and the builds we took over honestly.

682
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: Awesome. Yeah, Yeah, that's one that I wouldn't have expected, because.

683
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: We've got some on our tweet We're gonna get too

684
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: the tweets sheet as well, Chris, Thanks, Chris, appreciate you. Uh.

685
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: We we've got some on our tweet sheet as well

686
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: that say just the opposite of some of these as well.

687
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: But Chris had a nice, nice experience down in Jacksonville.

688
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: I've had some. I've done a ton of games in

689
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: Jacksonville back in the way, back in the day. The stadium, well,

690
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: the weather is usually very nice down there. Yeah, I've

691
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: I've been to all of them. And that's Jacksonville's okay.

692
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: The downtown because Jacksonville downtown is not where it's at.

693
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: It's out where the beaches are. The downtown is up

694
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: on the river. The beaches and all that stuff is

695
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: out away from Jacksonville. So that's the fun part of it.

696
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: You get out there, if you stay in downtown, it's dead.

697
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: There ain't nobody down there on the weekends. So yeah,

698
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: it's it feels like one though.

699
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: Two to bake into that road trip is the flights

700
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: down there probably are not too expensive. You can get

701
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: it straight shot from Buffalo, not going to be crazy expensive,

702
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: not going to be a long flight, and if you know,

703
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: if it's later in the season, you can get some

704
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: nice weather.

705
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, yeah, it's December, and that's always it's

706
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: always part of the plus. If you get fried alligator,

707
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some more exotic fruits. That's part of

708
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: it too.

709
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: You want to try try something you don't get around here.

710
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: If people come to Buffalo, they have the wings. If

711
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: you go to Baltimore you have the crab cakes. You

712
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: know all that stuff. So, uh, they all have something

713
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: going on for him. Uh, let's go to Bob in Buffalo. Bob,

714
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: you're on, go ahead, what's on your mind?

715
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 4: Oh?

716
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 5: Guys, Uh, I'm an original Buffalo Sabers season ticket holder

717
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 5: from since nineteen seventy and well, we bought the tickets

718
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 5: and then saw the schedule. We went to the first

719
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 5: Buffalo Sabers game ever in Pittsburgh and they won. The

720
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 5: Savers actually won two to one, and the next day

721
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 5: the Bills were playing the Steelers in Pittsburgh. So it

722
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 5: was a great road trip for young guys. We were

723
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 5: twenty one years old, and especially seeing the Savers win

724
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 5: their first game.

725
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: When you know, he just hung up on he lost

726
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: his We lost him thanks. Yeah, I think.

727
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: Appreciate all the Bills and Savers can be better. Let

728
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: me tell you this, that's awesome.

729
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: I have long been a proponent of this. Think about

730
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: this and this. Since we're talking about this, this is

731
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: another Tasker plan. You know, the eighteen game schedule, which

732
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: absolutely should be favorite. Here's another one. The NHL and

733
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: the NFL overlaps overlap season seasons to a great degree.

734
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: But everything from October when the season starts in for NHL,

735
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: all the way through to when it stops in February

736
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: for the NHL or for the NFL, and the NHL

737
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: goes away through June, that overlap. There's no reason, there's

738
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: no reason why these two teams, these two leagues shouldn't

739
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: like that coincide. If you take if you go down

740
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: and say the Bills are playing in Nashville and the

741
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: Predators are playing the Sabers on Saturday night, and the

742
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: Bills and the Titans are playing on Sunday, awesome, let's

743
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: go now, also think about this. The city would benefit too,

744
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: because that's a ton of people coming in. So you

745
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: go and then all of a sudden, Detroit, the Red

746
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: Wings are taking on the Sabers, Bills are taking on

747
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: the Lions. Let's go Saturday Sunday or Friday night Sunday,

748
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: whatever you want, get them that consecutive days like that.

749
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of Boston and the Patriots Buffalo, and

750
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: the Sabers New York, and the Rangers New York, and

751
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: the Islanders New York, and the Devils and the Sabers,

752
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: and and the Jets and the Giants, Dolphins, Florida PA Dolphins,

753
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 1: Florida Panthers, there's a lot of bays. All these hockey

754
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: NFL cities. They need to coincide that they need to

755
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: make an effort to coincide those dates with with home

756
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: and homes with the NHL and NFL city.

757
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 2: I have never heard that, but that's a billion idea,

758
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 2: and it feels like it's a win win for both leagues.

759
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: That just both leagues, both leagues win, and the cities win,

760
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: the hotels win, the restaurants win. I just think it's

761
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: something that has been overlooked because nobody, you know, let's

762
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: face it, we have enough issues with the NFL getting

763
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: their schedule together, with thirty two teams trying to get

764
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: and I don't want to buy a week and you

765
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: don't want batter and I don't want to go on

766
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: the road three weeks in a row and you battle that.

767
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: You know we got right, yea, all that's going on,

768
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: you can and imagine how it is in the NHL

769
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: when you got eighty two games and thirty teams and

770
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: you're trying to do the exact same thing with venue

771
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: availability because some of the hockey arenas, I mean they're

772
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 1: double dipping with concerts and all of that. Think about that, though,

773
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: if they could get a regular season I mean Vegas

774
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: and the Golden Knights and the Sabers or any other

775
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: NFL team and those and their NHL team, it just

776
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: seems like and think about two and not just because

777
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: it works for Buffalo, same entity. I mean, the Google

778
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: is owned both clubs. I mean you talk about corporate partnerships. Hey,

779
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: we're going on a four day weekend and your your

780
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: executives are invited. Let's all go down, let's come on,

781
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: let's let's strengthen our relationship. That kind of thing happens

782
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 1: a lot, and it would be an absolute financial boon

783
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: for the cities because can you imagine if the Bills

784
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: are going down to play Tampa Bay and there's a

785
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: and listen, I've been there. Tampa Bay is loaded with

786
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: former Northeastern.

787
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's huge transplant city.

788
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: And then to have the Sabers go down and play

789
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: the Lightning and have just go man and both teams,

790
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the whole sit just go down see and all the

791
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: same fans will be at both games. Right, think about it,

792
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: you takeover, dude. It would be so fun. It would

793
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: be so fun. I had never restaurants, bars, hotels.

794
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: I never heard that, but I love it.

795
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: That's a great idea, Are you kidding?

796
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: Because it happens a few times now, like where people

797
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: will really in sharpie circle, like, hey, look the Bills

798
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: are playing the Lightning and the or the Sabers are

799
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: playing the Lightning, the Bills are playing the Bucks. Let's

800
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: go down there. It doesn't happen a lot, but when

801
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 2: it does, like even when you get like the Sabers

802
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: on a Saturday night at home and then the Bills

803
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: on a Sunday at home, you get some of your

804
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: friends from out of town that come in because they

805
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 2: want to see both games.

806
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: It's the road trip of all road trips.

807
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 4: Man.

808
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: I mean, just like he just called in and said, look,

809
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: we went down, we watched the Sabers play the Penguins,

810
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: and then we watched the Bills play the Steelers. He goes,

811
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: come on, man, that's a that's an he's still talking about.

812
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: That was back in nineteen seventy. That's like the first

813
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: year of the Sabers. So I just think it's a

814
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: huge missed opportunity if they can get both leagues to

815
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: coincide those games. And in hockey, I would think, you know,

816
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: with eighty two games, the venues have to be kept ready.

817
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't know.

818
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: I just man, maybe it's me.

819
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: I don't know, Okay, I like these tasker plans are great.

820
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: It's a great that. I think it's old. Should be

821
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: a segment that's.

822
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Actually older than the eighteen game scheduling.

823
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 2: You've had that for a long time, NHL. N that's

824
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: the first.

825
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: It's brilliant. Okay, we gotta go. We're gonna take a break,

826
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: gonna come back. I've got more of your tweets, sheet

832
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: trips have been in the past, and also if you're

833
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: planning on taking another one in the future, what cities

834
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: and why are you gonna take them? Anything you want

835
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: to talk about about why you go on the road

836
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: and where we get this from? Stick from Stickbomb, He

837
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: goes the Steelers. I went to the Renegade game. He said,

838
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: it was a great atmosphere. Remember the Renegade game when

839
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to go in, Yeah, they're.

840
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 2: Going in Duck Hodges.

841
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: And yes they're gonna play Duck Hodges and they go

842
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: in and the Steels play the Renegade the song but

843
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the fourth quarter every every day

844
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: and Matt bar that was the Matt Barkley spinning the

845
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: the Cloncho game. Yeah, and the Bills ended up winning

846
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: that game against a really good Steelers football club, So

847
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: that was That's kind of cool. From Seawan, he says,

848
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: my favorite road trip was Green Bay. Fans were very

849
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: welcoming and the history is unmatched. Had a good one

850
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati doing the Bourbon Trail, and the Bills actually won.

851
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: Even though the game was awful. Jacksonville, for Sean was

852
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: the worst by a mile. Weather, the city and the

853
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: game were miserable.

854
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: It usually helps when the Bills win. That kind of

855
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 2: capts the weekend.

856
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: If you go, no doubt. But yeah, this is obviously

857
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: from Sewan. He's he's tried a few different road trips.

858
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, I've been to the Green Bay thing.

859
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: It's like a museum of football.

860
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: Yes it is.

861
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like here that you're kind of

862
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: in like the the neighborsidential area. There's a neighborhood, yeah.

863
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: Like it is in Buffalo. And I'll say this too,

864
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: the very it's very similar. People who come to the

865
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: Bills games here and at high Mark, you'll understand that

866
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: that neighborhood right in the front parking lot there where

867
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: the Bill's Mafia house is and they have all those

868
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: homes in there, or you're tailgating on their lawn. Same

869
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: thing in Green Bay. It's around the edge of the property.

870
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: It's a square. Probably the stadium sits there, and it's

871
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: got four corn for a block right whatever size it is,

872
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: and all the way around that block on the other

873
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: side of the street in every direction or just houses homes,

874
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: well the first house on all all the way in

875
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: the ring around the stadium have all been bought by

876
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: dudes or people, guys with their group of buddies. Every

877
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: house is just a party house. It's all. They have

878
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: a bunch. They've got them. They've got them all decked out,

879
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: all hopped up, painted right. They got you know, outdoor

880
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: outdoor TV setups, fire pits, the whole thing, all the

881
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: way around lambeau Field. I will not I will say

882
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: this too. The lambeau Fans are a little bit different

883
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: because they, you know, they realized they got no business

884
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: having a football team there. I mean in the middle.

885
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: It's a village. It's they got an NFL team in

886
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: like East Aurora, Right, That's what it is. So they

887
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: kind of know it's special. So they welcome the other

888
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: team and say, hey, come on, let's let's see with

889
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: the football. Let's let's play some football. Let's go. It's

890
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: very friendly. It's it's a different kind of atmosphere, and

891
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: they're very appreciative of both teams. They appreciate good plays

892
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: on both sides. It's it's really it's like playing both

893
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: teams are playing for their grandparents in the in the stands, right,

894
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: they're cheering for everybody. And that's kind of a cool thing.

895
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 2: And that's a really hard ticket to get, right, isn't

896
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 2: that like the season ticket holder? The list goes out, Yes,

897
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: they can get them on the secondary market, but they're

898
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 2: going to cost you.

899
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: Yes, you can't get it a season ticket, but you

900
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: can go to the game if you want to go

901
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: to the game, no question about it. And that's you know,

902
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it. So yeah, lambeau is a

903
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: I would put on. They also have uh, I don't

904
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: know what they call it, the Fourier.

905
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: Or the the Atrium.

906
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: That's the atrium which is between the old facade of

907
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: lambeau Field and the new and the renovated part.

908
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 2: And they added on as a Packers Hall of Fame there.

909
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: Exactly Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. They got a

910
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: big ten foot statue of fence, all of those things.

911
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: So it's really really a cool experience.

912
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: But it is, I mean, that's like a bucket list

913
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: place to go there.

914
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's not that easy to get to,

915
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you got to you got to,

916
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: like you know, trains, planes and automobile your way there.

917
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: But it's nice, it's fun, it's good, it's good to

918
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: go there, and it's a great experience. And they had

919
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: put one high rise hotel there on the property, which

920
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean when when I was playing, we were staying

921
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: away from the from the stadium in the hotel of

922
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: a casino. That's the only one available.

923
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 2: That's what's cool about it because it's so corporate the

924
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 2: rest of the NFL. Now that that's kind of like

925
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: the last Sea they played.

926
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe a preseason game, maybe it's

927
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: a regular season game. We were staying in this not

928
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: a hotel, a motel where the players. Yeah, I mean

929
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: it was it was russ Stick at best for a

930
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: long time. So now it's you know, now they got

931
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: it kind of going on. Now it's this. Now it

932
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: is this kind of very nice atmosphere and accommodations are

933
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: up to speed and that kind of thing. So yeah,

934
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: I would I would recommend Green Bay as as a

935
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: one stop. Did you make at some point in.

936
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: Your career, Hey, before we get to the top of

937
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: the hour, quickly mark this on your calendar. There's three

938
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 2: It's not exactly the Tasker plan because we're not getting

939
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: the same teams. But there are three instances next year

940
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: the Sabers and this would be for anyone listening that

941
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: wants to either come to town that doesn't live in

942
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: Buffalo or invite your relatives or your friends who live

943
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: in other cities around the US. November third weekend, the

944
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 2: Bills host the Dolphins on Sunday, Sabers play at home

945
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: Friday night. The twenty second weekend of December, the Bills

946
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: play on Sunday against the New England Patriots. On Sunday Friday,

947
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 2: the Patriot or the Sabers play. And the following week

948
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth of December, same thing, Sabers play on Friday,

949
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 2: Bills play at home. That can be your ultimate Buffalo

950
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: sports weekend for your relatives or your friends who live

951
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: outside of Ushnon.

952
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: You got it. And it does intersect, but you know,

953
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: obviously the Tasker plan goes one step further. If the

954
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: Jets are coming in town, the Devils should be in

955
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: town too. In the Jersey del.

956
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly like see, so it's not exactly the task plan,

957
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 2: it's the best.

958
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: And on the twenty second of December, if the Patriots

959
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: are in town. The Bruins should be in town, you

960
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that kind of thing.

961
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 2: So you get the same fans.

962
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I get that, you get more

963
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: people coming in town. The hotels will that's the Tasker plan.

964
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: Although you're right they do intersect a few because there's

965
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: so many hockey games and they always you know, they

966
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: want to do it too. They want to happen on

967
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: the weekend, Fridays and Saturday nights. So it works out

968
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 1: really good. And I don't know, I just yeah, I'm

969
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: all about I think it's a great idea. But put

970
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: AI on that.

971
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: Right yeah, oh yeah, they should be able to do that,

972
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 2: right yeah. Check GPT it from from Hey.

973
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: This is perfect. This is from Lucifer himself. I want

974
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: to go on a road trip to the Super Bowl.

975
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: How about just how about having a home game for

976
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. That'd be nice too, Samantha says. My

977
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 1: dad and I drove from Rhode Island to Buffalo last

978
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: fall for the Broncos game kind of on a whim.

979
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: It was the best experience ever, even though we lost.

980
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: Western New York is very different from New England, and

981
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go back there.

982
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 2: That is you. That is the consensus sentiment when someone

983
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 2: that has not experienced a Bill's game, they're a Bills fan,

984
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: they live in Rhode Island, they live in Ohio, they

985
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: live in the Carolina's, they come up for a game

986
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 2: because of what a lot of what you just explained

987
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: with the Lambeau feel that you feel at home. It's

988
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: not very corporately. You're not tailgating under an overpass. That's

989
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: almost anyone that comes to my friend's tailgate, they're like,

990
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: we're we have to come back because it's such an

991
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 2: awesome experience.

992
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say this too, your road trip to Buffalo,

993
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad and obviously you always wanted to be super

994
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: like that, like that it was unforgettable and all that.

995
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: Not every road trip turns out that way, even if

996
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: your team wins, right, it's like bad hotel, badly not

997
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: that I right all of that. And I'll say this though,

998
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: last year, and I'll and I'll think back to remember

999
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: in last year, Week four, I believe, Week four against

1000
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. So both teams are coming and the

1001
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: Bills are two and one, the Dolphins.

1002
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 2: Are three and oh seventy.

1003
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: The week before, and they had a seventy point game

1004
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: the week before, big game for you know. Let's go

1005
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: at first, the Bills lost to the Jets. So they're

1006
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: zero and one in the division. They got to have it.

1007
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: They're at home. They've had one game against the Raiders

1008
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: here at home. They lumped them up thirty eight ten

1009
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: in week two. So this is week four, let's go,

1010
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: here we go. The Bills have scored thirty eight and

1011
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: thirty seven coming into this game.

1012
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 2: The paper, there's a lot of hype for that.

1013
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: Right that game against the Dolphins. I remember this distinctly.

1014
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: The weather was pristine, absolutely from the crack of dawn

1015
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: until after dark. It was beautiful. Yes, the game was great,

1016
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: The day was perfect. Uh, it just couldn't have been better.

1017
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: So those are the kind of games that if you

1018
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: hit on, you know, it's perfect. But then if you

1019
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: come into you know, the next like the year before.

1020
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: Let me just say the year before, at the end

1021
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 1: of the year or in the playoffs, when the Bills

1022
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: are playing the Dolphins and you get rained out or

1023
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: snowed out on Sunday and you got to push it

1024
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: back till Monday night, and you, yeah, you don't have

1025
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: a you don't have a hotel room. You know, right,

1026
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: it's a different road trip. It's a different road trip.

1027
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: Even if your team wins like the Bills did, all

1028
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: of that stuff goes into it, so you don't. I'm

1029
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: the reason I say all that is you don't have

1030
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: to apologize for not like going to a Bill's win

1031
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 1: and having to be a creddy road trip because there's

1032
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: a I think the best road trips and it's like

1033
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: the one from Samantha she says, we just did it

1034
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: on a win and you just hit it. You know,

1035
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: everything along smooth accommodation, perfect day, you say hi to

1036
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: the right people, you hook up with it, You walk

1037
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: by a tailgate and they invite you over, and all

1038
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's your best friends for Yeah, that

1039
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, your best friends for life. All of

1040
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,439
Speaker 1: a sudden you keep in touch. Those kind of things happen,

1041
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: particularly in Western New York when you show up and

1042
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: I've done I've done my share of touring around some

1043
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: of the tailgates and saying hello, and somebody will drag

1044
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: me over. I say drag me over, then invite me over,

1045
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: say come over. And sometimes you're a little hesitant for

1046
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: that because you don't know what it's going to turn into, right,

1047
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: but it turns out great. So that's part of what

1048
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: these road trip experiences are a lot of times, the

1049
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: thing that really makes it perfect is just happenstance and

1050
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: good point. That's the fun part about it. We're gonna

1051
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: take a break. We're gonna come back at the top

1052
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: of the hour. Chris and I are going to discuss

1053
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: some things now about training camp and about what position

1054
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: battles are important, are intriguing, are crucial, or are maybe overblown.

1055
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Chrystal Boss. Are you're listening to One Bill Live.

00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: back to One of Bill's Lives. Steve task with christr

1059
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: Apostle here on your Friday. We're taking your phone calls

1060
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: and reading your tweets off the mail bag. Ask us

1061
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: any questions you want. We're going to get into some

1062
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: training camp battles and stuff. But first we're we're going

1063
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 1: to take a phone call from our good friend Judy

1064
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Judy, thanks for calling. It's good to hear

1065
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: from you. What's on your mind today?

1066
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 6: Okay, I have a relevant a relative in London who's

1067
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 6: attended both of those games against Jacksonville in the recent years,

1068
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 6: and both have been debacled. And now I'm looking at

1069
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 6: our schedule. We're playing Jacksonville, I think the third time

1070
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 6: of what is our mentality against this team? What is

1071
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 6: that we can't do to beat them? And you know,

1072
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 6: I'm just I'm really concerned that they have to they

1073
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 6: have to pull it in, put it in real motion

1074
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 6: to go buy this team because Jacksonville is talented.

1075
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right, all right, Judy. Jacksonville has been

1076
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: the one one team that the Bills have not been

1077
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: able to get. The Bills have beaten Mahomes and Andy

1078
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: Reid more than they've beaten the Jacksonville under Sean McDermott. Yeah,

1079
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: they have a better record against the two time defending

1080
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: world champions that's insane overall, than they do against the

1081
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. That is, it's the strangest anomaly of the

1082
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: entire thing. Thanks for the call, ju, that's the great.

1083
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 2: She's right, Yeah, I mean they beat him in twenty eighteen.

1084
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's rookie year Week twelve, twenty four to twenty one.

1085
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 2: Since then and the year before that they lost in

1086
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor when they broke the drug right,

1087
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: and then the London game, another London game with EJ. Manuel,

1088
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: and then the twenty two when they lost nine to six,

1089
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: or twenty twenty one where they lost nine to six

1090
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and then last year. So it's been

1091
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything schematically to it, or that

1092
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence has lit up the defense or the Jaguars

1093
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 2: defense has just been impossible for Josh Allen to move

1094
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 2: to football. But yeah, it's just it's an anomaly. It's

1095
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 2: I think mentally the Bills have to certainly get over

1096
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 2: that hurl. And it happens early, it's Week three at

1097
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 2: home in primetime.

1098
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's right though, I mean we've talked about

1099
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: it a little bit, but never really at length about

1100
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: how you know, for whatever reason, maybe it's a bad matchup,

1101
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's just you know, coincidence that the Bills have

1102
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: down games against them. London has been a tough thing.

1103
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. I thought they I don't

1104
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 1: like the way they handle the schedule going into London

1105
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: last year, they went like late. The thought processes this,

1106
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: either you go in very very early, like days and

1107
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 1: days early, so you can get acclimated to the time change.

1108
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: It's a five hour time difference, so if you're playing

1109
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: at one o'clock, it's you know, what is that ten am?

1110
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: Orn am? Nine am on the East coast and your

1111
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: body clock's just wax. Actually it's an eight am game.

1112
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: So they the thought is to go in very early

1113
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: and acclimate to the time change, or go in extremely late,

1114
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: like the night before, play the game, then come back

1115
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: and recover afterwards. Sure, because once you do that, and

1116
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: if you've ever traveled overseas, you know, the first day

1117
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: you're there, you feel fine, no worries, let's go.

1118
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 2: It's day two.

1119
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: It's day two when you get hammered and you can't

1120
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: even keep your eyes open. So the thought is, go

1121
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: in there, take advantage of that day one grace period

1122
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: for your body clock, and then get back home and

1123
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 1: recover later.

1124
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: What I didn't like about it last year, which I

1125
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 2: thought was distinctly unfair. Regardless of when the bills went,

1126
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 2: you know, decided to travel, I personally would have gone

1127
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 2: earlier than what Sean McDermott decided to just let them

1128
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 2: get acclimated. The Jaguars played the week before in London,

1129
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 2: so they were there for two weeks. They were fully acclimated.

1130
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: They had played a game the week before they hosted

1131
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 2: the Bills. I thought that was very unfair, and I

1132
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 2: think Sean McDermott and some you know in the Bills

1133
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 2: front office were not exactly thrilled with how that kind

1134
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: of played out last year.

1135
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. It was they were coming off

1136
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,479
Speaker 1: a high game with that. We were just talking about

1137
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins game forty eight to twenty after the Dolphins

1138
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: were coming in three and oh no, no, no, no, all

1139
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: that stuff, and then bouncing back and then going on

1140
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: a long, tough road trip across the seat to an

1141
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 1: out of division opponent, and they Bill's had a letdown.

1142
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: And it's easy to see that the results of that.

1143
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: They looked. They look bad in that game.

1144
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: But I think the Bills will be up for that

1145
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: week three Monday Night football, Jacksonville coming to town. If

1146
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Judy from Buffalo is probably our best caller.

1147
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 2: She's super smart. We love when she calls in. She

1148
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 2: understands that, you know, Josh Allen understands the kind of

1149
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 2: hiccupp or the hurdle that they've had to get over

1150
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 2: with the Jaguars. I think he Sean McDermott, the coaching staff,

1151
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 2: all the rest of the other captains on the team.

1152
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: Even though there is you know, more changeover than we've

1153
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: had the last couple of years on this Bills roster.

1154
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: They'll be up for that game week three in primetime,

1155
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1156
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: So if you have anything else you want to talk about,

1157
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and give us a call. If not, we're

1158
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: going to go back to the tweets. She We've got

1159
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: some stuff here from people about their road trips, the

1160
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: favorite road trips they've had. And then Chris and I

1161
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: are also going to start in on some offensive position battles.

1162
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: Most note, of course, would be the wide receiver spot

1163
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: of who's gonna be on the squad, what you know,

1164
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: what the pecking order is gonna be, particularly a wide receiver.

1165
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: Also we can touch base with once again, although you

1166
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: kind of put it, you kind of put it aside,

1167
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: thinking that Matt's all taken care of the offensive line.

1168
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have again. I think they're gonna

1169
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: have an outstanding offensive line up front. Of Josh Allen,

1170
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: I think of something they've got. They got a ton

1171
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: of really good dudes up up front, So we'll see

1172
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: if we can get through into that. From the tweetsheet

1173
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: from Andrews says, I'd love to go to Nashville to

1174
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: watch them play against the Titans. The reason is simply

1175
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: because the Nashville is a fun town.

1176
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: He's right, and the Bills have taken or bills fans

1177
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: have taken over when.

1178
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: They Nashville has become the go to road trip city

1179
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: even I think, even I think above Vegas. Still still

1180
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: a ton of people go to Vegas, but Vegas is

1181
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: kind of that town anyway, So it's kind of hard

1182
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: to make a bump or a blip on the on

1183
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: the Vegas radar because they've always got a festival or

1184
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: a convention or a trade show or so it's easier

1185
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: to like go to Nashville, say, wow, the Bills took over.

1186
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: And what is it? Broadways got all that. There's like

1187
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 2: one hundred bars, and you know, some live music everywhere.

1188
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: You can hear some of the best live music anywhere.

1189
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: In the planet and there right on Nashville's front street. Yeah.

1190
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: From Jess, she says, I probably say Los Angeles, so

1191
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: there are away games. There's a lot to do out there.

1192
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: That's true. LA to me is a lot like what

1193
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: Midwesterners say about New York City. Okay, you can visit,

1194
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: but you can't.

1195
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 2: You don't want to stay there, so maybe it would

1196
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 2: be good for a visit. The one thing I would

1197
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 2: say that it's so foreign to being in Buffalo and

1198
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: in this area where to get from the east side

1199
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 2: of Buffalo to the west side of Buffalo is not

1200
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 2: very hard to do. In LA. Everything is so spaced out.

1201
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 2: It is not a walking city whatsoever.

1202
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, I remember it was even that way

1203
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: when we were played in Super Bowl twenty seven. It

1204
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: was like, where do we have to go?

1205
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean we did and we did our

1206
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: media day, media day, where'd you do it?

1207
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: And the Dodger Stadium in Chaco Canyon or wherever that

1208
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: place is. It was, Yeah, Chavez Ravine. Is that what

1209
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 1: it is? Yeah? I couldn't believe it.

1210
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: I was like, what, dude, how far away was it?

1211
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Everything was like an hour?

1212
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean.

1213
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Everything was. You could see it, but you couldn't get there.

1214
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Yea in space, very strange.

1215
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: Let's say from Jim on the tweets sheet, We're gonna

1216
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: go to Houston this year. Best trip has been Nashville.

1217
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: We've been twice and both times were incredible. There's another

1218
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: vote for Nashville. The stadiums set up right near Broadways

1219
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: highly recommended. Yeah, that that does help for the football

1220
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: crowd when you go to Nashville because you can just

1221
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: walk across the bridge over to the stadium. They're building

1222
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: a new stadium in Nashville as well there. I've never

1223
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: felt older than when the stadiums that. I was a

1224
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: part of the Bills when they opened those stadiums, and

1225
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: now they're closing and building new ones. Atlanta's Stadium the Bills.

1226
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I played in the very first preseason football game there

1227
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: before the Raidar season, even.

1228
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: In the Georgia Dome, and now it's in the Georgia Dome.

1229
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Now it's gone. Joe Robbie Stadium. The Bills played in

1230
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: in a game there, first regular season game against the

1231
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins there. Now it's been renovated like what four times five.

1232
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 2: To a lot said, so many different names too.

1233
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I played in the LA Coliseum when it was the

1234
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: LA Raiders my entire career. The Raiders were in LA.

1235
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: I never played in Oakland. I broadcast from Oakland a bunch,

1236
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: but I never played in Oakland.

1237
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: What about the Rams? Were they in st the Rams

1238
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 2: were in Were they in Saint Louis when you.

1239
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: Played Saint Louis?

1240
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 3: Yes?

1241
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: I did games from the Saint Louis. Yeah, I played

1242
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. Wow, I didn't. I've never played for

1243
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: him against him when they were in LA.

1244
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: From that last tweet, Houston is really interesting because of

1245
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 2: I think the game in and of itself, because of

1246
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 2: the Stefan Diggs trade. That city's got a lot going on.

1247
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of bars, a lot of restaurants. It's

1248
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: it's one of the bigger cities in the US. Now.

1249
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Strange city, though, is it? They don't have zoning committees?

1250
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

1251
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: Which means you can have a high rise apartment building

1252
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: growing right out of a neighborhood.

1253
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Oh, brutally it's opposite of Buffalo. Yes, you don't have

1254
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: like here's.

1255
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: The real skye skyline scattered. Yeah.

1256
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about that. City.

1257
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: There are clusters of buildings, but you go out on

1258
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: West tim Or and you'll go through a big shopping

1259
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: area in high rises, and then you look over there

1260
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: and there'll be a there'll be a skyscraper, apartment building

1261
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: stand there by itself. Way often range, but it and

1262
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: it does have.

1263
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 2: But there's a lot going on. I mean, Million Loop in.

1264
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,439
Speaker 1: The outer loop is now it. For a long time,

1265
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: the traffic was rough, but it's a little better now.

1266
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 2: How is that stadium?

1267
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Energy NRG is a dynamite stadium, very nice, modern, It's

1268
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: got the retractable roof. They usually keep it closed just

1269
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: because it's Yeah, that.

1270
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 2: Is my biggest surprise looking at the entire schedule, that

1271
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 2: that game is not even at four o'clock Sunday, October six,

1272
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 2: Week five at Houston one pm on CBS. Maybe they

1273
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 2: just maybe they just wanted to have at least one

1274
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 2: major game that week at one o'clock, just the normal start.

1275
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Houston. I don't know.

1276
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 2: It actually might have been.

1277
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: It might have been a game that CBS protected.

1278
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 2: To and they said, hey, we need this. We don't

1279
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 2: want to be on ESPN or on Amazon.

1280
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,479
Speaker 1: Frind or night Monday night. This is our One of my.

1281
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: Friends used to live in Houston, and he told me

1282
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 2: it was the polar opposite of Buffalo, where in the

1283
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 2: summer you think, oh, it's gonna be nice weather. He's like,

1284
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 2: everyone has to be inside and everything is ac like,

1285
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 2: we do not go outside. That's right, post like May,

1286
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 2: because it's ninety five and humid. We can't do it.

1287
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 2: It's bad. He's like, in the winter, obviously it's better

1288
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,439
Speaker 2: than this here. But he's like, it's how we kind

1289
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 2: of act in the winter. We stay inside. He's like, oh,

1290
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 2: don't come in July, don't come in August. You'll it's

1291
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 2: a service.

1292
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: I've made that. I've made the point that you know,

1293
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 1: people bash Buffalo and all that about the weather, and

1294
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: all I said, listen, we get outside because we get

1295
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: out in it here in Buffalo. You go out your

1296
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: snow school, you ski, your snow machine, you do all

1297
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. I even ice fish once in a while

1298
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: when it gets really cold. But you know, people just

1299
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: get out in it in Buffalo. There's no getting out

1300
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: in it in Florida, Houston, when it's ninety five and

1301
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: it is oppressive. I would I've made the argument that

1302
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: people in Buffalo the same percentage of people get out

1303
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: in it in Buffalo and the deep in the depth

1304
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: of winter as the percentage of people that get out

1305
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: and do anything in the depth of summer in Houston.

1306
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. It's just to opposite.

1307
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Where was the Astrodome when you played.

1308
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: Right next door in right now? It's still there.

1309
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 2: It's still there.

1310
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: It looks like a speed bump. The eighth wonder of

1311
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the world, it was. It looks like a speed bump.

1312
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 2: Next ery, what does it use for nothing?

1313
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Rodeos truck shows.

1314
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 2: It's an event center.

1315
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a it's a It was a well thought

1316
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: out concept venue. It wasn't executed perfectly like that you

1317
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 1: know that street curb going through the forty five yard

1318
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: line kind of thing. And it was and back then

1319
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: the technology wasn't so that the surface was you know, smooth,

1320
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was dirt, so it was like wavy.

1321
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: They couldn't get it exactly right and wow. Yeah, So

1322
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: there's it had its issues, but it was well thought out.

1323
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: It has a big one end of it where you

1324
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: can drive a flank, a big bank of trucks right

1325
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: down in there and set it up and stuff and

1326
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: then book back them out big.

1327
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 2: But it's just energy just towers over it.

1328
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 7: Now.

1329
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, nr GM makes it. You can't even

1330
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you don't even know to know the astrodome when it's

1331
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, that's that's a reality of the times

1332
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: we live in. Uh, let's go back to the tweets sheet.

1333
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: I took my dad to Pittsburgh for the Duck Hodges game.

1334
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Nice because my dad took me to Bill's games my

1335
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: whole life. He's a season ticket holder. We sat low

1336
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: by the Bill's bench, and when the Bills took over

1337
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the Renegade Song song, the Steelers fans around us hated us.

1338
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 2: Oh that was a big deal. Like that's because that's

1339
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 2: like their song to start the fourth quarter and the

1340
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 2: Bills instead of it being like an intimidating thing, like oh,

1341
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter starting, and that was a critical game,

1342
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 2: the Bill's into the playoff spot. Ultimately, the Bills embraced it.

1343
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 2: They really did.

1344
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: You tip your hat to Sean McDermott. Every day during

1345
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: practice they played that Renegade song. I remember that they

1346
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: played it, and the guys got into it and they

1347
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: started owning it. You know, when that played in the

1348
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: fourth course, what I'm ready for.

1349
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 2: It to me, that was like a Josh Allen coming

1350
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 2: out game. He threw that touchdown to Tyler Croft late

1351
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 2: in the game. It was a really good throwt like

1352
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 2: the front right pylon. And it was only in his

1353
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 2: second season. He was still doing some of the sugar

1354
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 2: high Josh Allen stuff. But to go into Pittsburgh a

1355
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 2: great defense that had TJ. Watt On, I had a

1356
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 2: lot of good players flying around to win that game.

1357
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 2: And yes, the Bills were not really facing a high

1358
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 2: level quarterback at all in Duck Hodges. Treneviuswite had a

1359
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 2: big pick in that game as well, But Josh Allen

1360
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 2: to drive down the field and make that throat to

1361
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: be the one that won the game for the Bills.

1362
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 2: That was like one of my first memories of like,

1363
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 2: hey maybe this Josh Allen actually.

1364
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: Had just got a chance. Yeah, we're going to talk

1365
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: about the training camp battles. Now, all of a sudden,

1366
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: we've got like nine thousand phone calls. We're going to

1367
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: go to Mark, not nine thousand, We're going to get

1368
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: to all of you. Mark from West Seneca. What's on

1369
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: your mind? You have a reminiscence about a road game.

1370
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 8: Well, I haven't been to a game here. Just over

1371
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 8: week ago, my son was graduating from Air Force Training

1372
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 8: School down in Montgomery, Alabama. So we decided to find

1373
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 8: a Nashville, spend a day or two there, and then

1374
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 8: drive down to Montgomery, which is only about three hours away,

1375
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 8: and spend a week there with them on the base.

1376
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 8: And I have to say, if you get a chance

1377
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 8: to be around our military people, they are impressive young

1378
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 8: men and women. It was absolutely unbelievable, and I'm very

1379
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 8: proud of my son. Now now he's a lieutenant in

1380
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 8: the Air Force.

1381
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 2: Awesome.

1382
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 8: So he went through the training and everything and and

1383
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 8: now he's serving our country. So I'm very very proud

1384
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 8: of him. I certainly will. I certainly will. He's not

1385
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 8: because he's my son, but he is a fine young man.

1386
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 8: And the people that are in that school are fine people.

1387
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 8: They are just absolutely amazing. That being said, so then

1388
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 8: we came back after I graduating, he came with us

1389
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 8: and we spent a day or two in Nashville, and

1390
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 8: it was absolutely For an old guy like me, it

1391
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 8: was like I never seen anything like that. It was

1392
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 8: controlled chaos, it was constant, it was music from building

1393
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 8: the building. It was music wars. They were playing three

1394
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 8: levels in most bars, different band on each level. Open

1395
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 8: to the outside. You could hear music coming from both

1396
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 8: sides of the street. It was. It was absolutely amazing.

1397
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,600
Speaker 8: So I can't even believe what it would be like

1398
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 8: what Bill's Mafia down there taking over Broadway like they

1399
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 8: say they do to actually have a great time. So

1400
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 8: for me, when we do a destination, I think that

1401
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 8: may be my first one that we're thinking about.

1402
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, it is, and it would be the

1403
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 1: same thing saying when Bill's Mafia shows up, except everybody weren't.

1404
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Jersey's going to be three times more people

1405
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: and whatever was thanks to that. Kevin and Madina, Kevin,

1406
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?

1407
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 4: Hey?

1408
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 7: So I am a school teacher and so I have

1409
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,799
Speaker 7: the summers off. So I've been watching all the highlights

1410
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 7: every single week of The Bill's season and I am

1411
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 7: totally pro whatever Sean McDermott and Brandon Be's done with

1412
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 7: the offense, and I appreciate it and that they's done,

1413
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 7: but he's gone now to moving on. But with all

1414
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 7: the highlights that I've seen, there's been all the off

1415
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 7: script plays that Josh Allen has done a lot of

1416
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 7: Them's gone to tags and Dick's running in the field

1417
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 7: or he's going down. He's just always in the right spot.

1418
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 7: And that's something that the offense doesn't have anymore, and

1419
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 7: it's gonna take time. Shakier's done some of that and

1420
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 7: still has knocks, but that's a huge part of the

1421
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 7: offense that gets those big long third and twenties, and

1422
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,759
Speaker 7: it gets those huge chunk plays that just aren't gonna

1423
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 7: be there anymore for those offense.

1424
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 9: At least someone's gonna step up.

1425
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think his last point Kevin Greigs, Thanks Kevin.

1426
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 2: There does need to be someone that becomes that when

1427
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's outside the pocket, is he looking for a

1428
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 2: specific jersey number like he was always looking for fourteen?

1429
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 2: Is that Shakir, Is that Kincaid, Is that he maybe

1430
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 2: even Curtis Samuel Keon Coleman. One of those guys has

1431
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 2: to step up, and I think at times Gabe Davis

1432
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: could be that player. But that is certainly a good

1433
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 2: point that a lot of those Josh Allen highlights off structure,

1434
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: off script were you know, Stefan Diggs as the recipient.

1435
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: There has to be someone who steps up in training

1436
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 2: camp and then throughout the season.

1437
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah it listen, the ball is gonna go somewhere. Josh

1438
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: is not gonna run it every time he breaks contain

1439
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: and that is, you know, kind of what you gotta

1440
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: you gotta get your mind around. Certainly there's a void

1441
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: there at the top because of Steph Diggs and Gabe

1442
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 1: and all that. But it's not like they're just gonna

1443
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 1: stop trying to throw those targets. Those targets are gonna

1444
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: still get thrown, and they're gonna get thrown to somebody.

1445
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: And Josh is gonna have guys he trusts. Believe me.

1446
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Robert from work a ton of one? Are you there?

1447
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 9: I am here and I am calling.

1448
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 4: Thanks.

1451
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 9: on hold Old and new memories of Steve's tasker. First

1452

1454
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 9: the company down to South Texas with the Buffalo company.

1455
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 9: I think it was in eighty nine. Then I put

1456
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 9: together a road trip to go up to Houston Oilers

1457
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 9: to Steve, Steve, and we had about one hundred people

1458
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 9: on two different planes fly into Texas Houston to see

1459
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,040

Speaker 9: to Steve being retired and being put into the Bill's

1465

Speaker 9: Wall of Fame. Faithful day, great day for Steve and

1466
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 9: his family. I was fortunate enough to host Steve and

1467
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:16,480
Speaker 9: his family in a suite at the Bill Stadium. Great time. Unfortunately,

1468
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 9: there was also an injury that Steve remembers of one

1469
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 9: of the Bills on a kickoff Kevin Everett.

1470
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 1: That was the Kevin Everett game. Was the game I

1471
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: went on the wall. Yeah, that's correct exactly.

Speaker 1: was a great game, A great game, Warren Moon, Jim Kelly.

1487
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: It was like forty, like forty five, forty two or so.

1488
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 1: I think we ended up with forty two. It was

1489
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: like forty two thirty six or something like that we won.

1490
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 2: And that was in the time where there usually were

1491
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 2: not games that heighth scoring. It was great.

1492
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: It was so fun in the old and the old Astrodome.

1493
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Good stuff, good stuff. All right, we're gonna take a break,

01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. We'll be right back. This

1498
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back in One Bill's Life,

1499
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Prasso. We got another half hour or so

1500
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna end up going back to the phones. Right now,

1501
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,719
Speaker 1: we're going to take a call from William in Elmwood. William,

1502
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?

1503
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 10: Hi, Elma Village. Yeah. I recently watched on NFL network

1504
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 10: an old Super Bowl game where Joe Montana was playing

1505
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 10: quarterback and he put a lot of air under the football.

1506
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 10: He threw arcs and Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen throw

1507
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 10: laser darts, and I don't really remember how Jim Kelly

1508
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 10: threw the ball. Can you talk a little bit about

1509
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 10: the style of throwing the footballs?

1510
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this and what it has to do

1511
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: with and thank thanks for the call. Will I'll tell

1512
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: you what I know, and I'm by four no expert.

1513
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: But the arc on the football has to do with

1514
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: two things. One is obviously the velocity. You got to

1515
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: take a little less more time for the ball to

1516
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: get there. You have less strengthen behind the throw when

1517
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: it has got a lot of arc on it. Now

1518
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you always want to do that or

1519
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: have to, but putting arc on the ball is for

1520
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 1: is to get it over defenders and into the wide

1521
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: receiver when you when you throw it hard and low

1522
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: and fast like a laser. That means gonna get there,

1523
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: and you want to get there before the defender can

1524
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,719
Speaker 1: break on it. All that stuff is now some guys,

1525
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 1: when you have a strong arm, you tend to use it,

1526
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen. There are other guys, But sooner or

1527
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: later you're gonna have to throw the ball.

1528
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 2: With some touch anticipation too.

1529
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 8: Right.

1530
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: So when you say the style of throwing, what that

1531
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: means to quarterbacks is how they throw the football. Do

1532
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: they come over the top, do they do a side arm?

1533
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Do they get their hips into it?

1534
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 4: There?

1535
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Is their footwork right? Are their feet set? Do they

1536
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: step towards the throw? All the stuff that you that,

1537
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: all the mechanics the quarterbacks like to talk about. The

1538
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: problem is for quarterbacks. You can talk about that all

1539
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: you want, but it's hard to throw it with the

1540
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: right trajectory and the right footwork and the right hip

1541
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: movement when you got a two hundred and eighty pound

1542
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: guy hit you in the back in the middle of

1543
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: the back. Right quarterbacks, to me, quarterbacks, the good ones

1544
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 1: can throw it any way you want. Joe Montana was

1545
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: a master at They had that West Coast offense. They

1546
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: were the first ones to do it where the quarterback

1547
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: comes up, turns and let's go with the ball and

1548
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: throws it to a spot and the receiver is going

1549
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: to be there at the same time, and they just

1550
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: do it on time. It's a rhythm and that's why

1551
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: they with Joe Montana was hard to sack. The ball

1552
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: was gone. That's where it came from with Bill Walsh

1553
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: in the West Coast offense, and then there have been guys.

1554
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: It has evolved as the game has evolved into more

1555
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:49,640
Speaker 1: and more things. But delivering the football, a good quarterback

1556
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: can throw it over one guy and underneath another with

1557
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: the same throw, and he can also throw it so

1558
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: hard and fast so that nobody can get even if

1559
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: the guy's standing close to the receiver, he can't break

1560
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: on the ball and get there before the ball does.

1561
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: And he can throw it long and deep and accurately.

1562
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: So when you talk about the throw, each play calls

1563
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: for a certain type of throw, and the quarterbacks got

1564
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: to make all of them. And when you talk about

1565
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: mechanics of throwing like these quarterbacks do, it's about your

1566
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 1: arm angle and your release point and your elbow and

1567
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: your footwork and your hips and your shoulders and all

1568
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And I don't know anything about that.

1569
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: That's all Greek to me. All I know is the

1570
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: good guys can make any throw you want, even if

1571
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: it looks different than other good quarterbacks.

1572
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what's interesting here with the question is Joe

1573
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 2: Montana was, you know, legendary Hall of Fame quarterback won

1574
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of Super Bowls without being that freaky physical specimen.

1575
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 2: He can move around a little bit, and for the era,

1576
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 2: I think he was one of the more mobile quarterbacks

1577
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 2: in the eighties and into the nineties. But he did

1578
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 2: it with anticipation and understanding where inside this Bill wallsh

1579
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 2: West Coast offense he needed to go with the football,

1580
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 2: probably even before the snap was made. With Josh Allen,

1581
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 2: you get the other end of the spectrum where maybe

1582
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 2: there are times where Josh isn't at an elite level

1583
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 2: when it comes to anticipating, but he can throw a

1584
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 2: seventy mile per hour fastball in there where the defensive

1585
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 2: back feels like I can break on this comeback round

1586
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 2: and make an interception, but Josh Allen just delivers the

1587
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 2: football through a tight window. Joe Montana really wasn't that

1588
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 2: wasn't a stable of his game. I think to the question,

1589
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 2: Jim Kelly was kind of right in the middle. He

1590
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 2: had a stronger arm than Joe Montana, but could feather

1591
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 2: it in there over the top or throw a strike

1592
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: over the middle.

1593
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: Or we've got time for another one more call might

1594
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: be our last one of the day. Phil from Rochester, Phil,

1595
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?

1596
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 4: Well, I've been paying attention to the TV here and

1597
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 4: one destination hasn't been mentioned, and that's Kansas City.

1598
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: Why'd you like Why did you like it?

1599
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 4: You're you walked in, whether you're in Bill's gear or

1600
01:18:55,400 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 4: chief gear, you're automatically accepted as an outsider coming in,

1601
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 4: and they feed you, they pass you out. It's a

1602
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 4: phenomenal stadium. I believe it was built the same year

1603
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 4: that the built the stadium was built, Yeah.

1604
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Pretty close to it.

1605
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Seventies.

1606
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is it's just a phenomenal place. They

1607
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 4: have places where you when you're done cooking with your

1608
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 4: your charcoal, they have containers every forty fifty feet where

1609
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 4: you dump your coals into these things instead of dumping

1610
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,719
Speaker 4: them down to the ground and going to the game.

1611
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 4: If you see what I.

1612
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: Mean, Yeah, I know what you mean. Thanks, Bill, that's

1613
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 1: good stuff. I appreciate the call.

1614
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 2: I've heard that and that was Oh yeah, I saw

1615
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 2: the game I saw was ninety five Montana and.

1616
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 4: Joe Jim Kelly.

1617
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome, that's game too.

1618
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 4: Everything was great.

1619
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, cool, thanks, thank you. That's it. Yeah,

1620
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: and that's that's a long time ago. But yeah, the

1621
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: the Wings are a big deal here in Buffalo. The

1622
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: barbecue is a big deal in Kansas City. The beef

1623
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: out in the Midwest is really good. Kansas and the stadium,

1624
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too, that stadium has been has

1625
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: really weathered the years. It's it is an uniquely designed stadium.

1626
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic spot to play. The side angles are great.

1627
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 1: It looks awesome from the outside. It's been renovated once.

1628
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: There's now as we know, they need a new stadium,

1629
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 1: just like Buffalo does. Buffalo is getting a new stadium

1630
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 1: actually before Kansas City is. But they got to they

1631
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: got to get out of there. And because both of

1632
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: those stadiums were built mainly out of concrete, and.

1633
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 2: They said about about it.

1634
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: And and the reason they got to get out of

1635
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: the Bill's high mark the old one is because the

1636
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: upper decks just aren't safe. They're not safe enough to

1637
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: hold people and keep the rubble off the people below.

1638
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: You can go out there and you can see where

1639
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: they've maintained over the years, but it's time to get

1640
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:06,719
Speaker 1: a new one. And from what I had heard, twenty

1641
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven was the final year they're going to be

1642
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: allowed to be in there anyway with the upper decks.

1643
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: Timeline wise, they had to get a new stadium. The

1644
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: time the clock was ticking, you gotta move so and

1645
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: just think about it. This is the next to the

1646
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: last year to be in Himark State and the old places.

1647
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 2: And I've been telling everyone, if you're not in in

1648
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 2: Orchard Park, you can get around here in the summer

1649
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 2: before the stadium or before the season starts, get and

1650
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 2: see how much drive down Abbitt Road and see how

1651
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,759
Speaker 2: far along they've gotten. They're starting to build the frame

1652
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,600
Speaker 2: of the third level. At this point, there's some concrete

1653
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 2: in the first level. Steve's been over there a bunch

1654
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 2: shooting videos with Josh Allen, but if you have not been,

1655
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 2: I highly suggest it just a quick little Bills Fan

1656
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 2: road trip. If you're in Western New York, drive down

1657
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 2: Abbit Road, and see how much progress they've made since

1658
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 2: it was literally a pit that people were jumping into

1659
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 2: during the season.

1660
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: No pit now, it's not a pit now. So it's

1661
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: going to be a different little uh sight line for

1662
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: people coming to the games. Taller, Let's get to the

1663
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: mail fan Friday Friday fan mail bag, and you know,

1664
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: you think about all the stuff that's going on. We've

1665
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: been talking about road trips. Let's get back and we

1666
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: have some questions about the roster and what's going on

1667
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: from Jackie says, with a rookie performance often often being inconsistent,

1668
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: what can we realistically expect from Keon Coleman in twenty

1669
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: twenty four? It's probably the number three wide receiver, maybe

1670
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth in terms of target priority. So what's

1671
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: realistically a good season? Forty catches, fifty sixty five or

1672
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: six tds? Is that ahead of schedule? Where would he fall?

1673
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,640
Speaker 1: And it's a really good question, and I think it

1674
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 1: has to align with expectations. He's the first player the

1675
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Bills drafted, They traded down twice, and still receivers are

1676
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 1: picked in front of them, two receivers more than two.

1677
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 2: Well two, I mean, where the Bills could have picked

1678
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 2: they traded back twice. What Zavier Worthy xavierly got right

1679
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 2: and then Ken Coleman.

1680
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: That's what I meant. So what do you what are

1681
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 1: your thoughts?

1682
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 2: I think what Jeh I mean, it is a great

1683
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 2: question from Jack. I think what he outlined there in

1684
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 2: the bottom forty fifty sixty catches, five or six touchdowns,

1685
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 2: I think you would you wouldn't necessarily chalk that up

1686
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 2: and say, oh my god, what an amazing season. But

1687
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 2: the Bills and Kean Coleman, I think should be and

1688
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 2: Bill's fans would be very happy if he's somewhere in

1689
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 2: that range between like forty five catches to fifty five catches,

1690
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 2: six seven hundred yards, four to six touchdowns, especially because

1691
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 2: we know we've said it at nauseum how they're going

1692
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 2: to spread around the football. That would be a positive

1693
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 2: rookie season for Keianko.

1694
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: I think some of this stats might be a little

1695
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: the tell whether it was a good season or might

1696
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: be a little more efficient, a little deeper his catch

1697
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: if his catch rate would be big. If he's if

1698
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: he can get an eight seventy five or so or

1699
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: to eighty eighty or eighty plus would be awesome. But

1700
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:51,640
Speaker 1: if he can get up very good catch percentage. You know,

1701
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 1: so if he catches, if he has thrown the ball

1702
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 1: one hundred times, he's gonna catch eighty plus of.

1703
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 2: Them, or even more specifically in the red zone if

1704
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 2: he's you know, those relatively lower percentage jump ball fades

1705
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 2: and that's his specialty. If he catches, you know whatever,

1706
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 2: it is seven of ten of those for seven touchdowns

1707
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 2: and doesn't do a lot else between the twenties. But

1708
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 2: he's just a touchdown score. They'll be big and that's all.

1709
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's all numbers based and analytics and stuff

1710
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: like that. I think just as much though for Bills fans,

1711
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 1: and I think Bills fans will know what I'm talking about.

1712
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: You just want a guy that when the season's over,

1713
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: you think, man, oh man, I'd like that guy. He

1714
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: really came like he came through for us. You know,

1715
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: he's got that feeling about when you needed something from him,

1716
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: he gave it to you as much as you you

1717
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: know what I mean. He gave you everything you wanted

1718
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: him to give you. He was there, he made a

1719
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: tough catch, he was open, he was there whenever they

1720
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: So whatever opportunities he gets you know, you want to

1721
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: see him be that guy's like, Wow, cool, that's a guy. Yeah,

1722
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: that's our guy. You want him to leave you with

1723
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: that kind of emotional content about who he is and

1724
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: what he is. That's kind of what you want to

1725
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: feel good about him. Yeah, if he gets throwing the

1726
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: ball six times, but he made you know, six touchdowns

1727
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: and whatever or whatever, that's a little bit of an exaggeration,

1728
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, but that's what you want, right. You want

1729
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: a guy that when you think about him being on

1730
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: your team and think, yeah, they need to use him more,

1731
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: they need to do more. He's really got a lot more.

1732
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: That's a fun place to be, particularly for a young receiver.

1733
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: And I think as this season rolls on, another thing

1734
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: he might think about, is this a little bit like

1735
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid, where I think, Okay, remember last year, don't

1736
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: can he hasn't even really he hasn't kind of touchdown yet.

1737
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: He needs to catch a touchdown. He needs to get

1738
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: on the field. Let's seehim catch a ball here, you know.

1739
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: And then by the end of the year he was

1740
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: the guy's running down the middle of the field for

1741
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Steelers in the playoffs, right, that's

1742
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of the growth you want to see from Keon

1743
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Coleman as well. You want to see him grow into

1744
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 1: it and grow fast.

1745
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 2: That last point I think is vital, especially because we

1746
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 2: mentioned that when he was drafted he was only twenty

1747
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 2: years old. He's going to be twenty one one year

1748
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 2: at Florida State. It's not don't jump to conclusions immediately

1749
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 2: with Keon Coleman. If in September and October, he's not,

1750
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 2: you know, leading the offensive Rookie of the Year voting.

1751
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 2: And the Bills we've we've talked about it a lot too.

1752
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 2: Down the stretch in the Sean McDermott era. They're so

1753
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 2: good December and January. And it's not to say that

1754
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 2: the Bills ever get in front of themselves, but they

1755
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 2: understand we want to make the playoffs, win the NFC East,

1756
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 2: be as high of a seed as we can, and

1757
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 2: get to and win a super Bowl. So if if

1758
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 2: it takes until post Thanksgiving for it for the lights

1759
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 2: to really come on with Kemp Cullman, that's more important

1760
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 2: than anything else.

1761
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And that's you know, that's kind of where

1762
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: you kind of got to land. So it's it's it's

1763
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: not really about the stats or what it is. It's

1764
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: more about what his contribution is going to be, what

1765
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 1: he's asked to do, and how well he does what

1766
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: he's asked to do. This one from add one more

1767
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 1: before right, quick, before we go to break as you're

1768
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 1: in your estimation, is this year's Bill's roster a top

1769
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: ten to one in the NFL? If not? Where does

1770
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: it land? It's hard to say. I like where the

1771
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 1: roster is, but there's too many new guys to say, Okay,

1772
01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna come together, it's all gonna flowg Yeah, we're

1773
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: we're like a top five run if everything spins right, Yeah,

1774
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: they're easily.

1775
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 2: I think there's still top ten because you still have

1776
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 2: the offensive line. You still have Josh Allen. He moves

1777
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,600
Speaker 2: the needle more than anything else. And they do have

1778
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 2: a lot of new pieces. But Curtis Samuel can play

1779
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:14,639
Speaker 2: in the league. We know that, right, We know Khalils

1780
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,759
Speaker 2: Shakir Khn, we know Dalton Kin kid Ken. There's still

1781
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 2: James Cook, James Cook coming off the breakout year. I mean,

1782
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:22,639
Speaker 2: it's hard to kind of go through all thirty two.

1783
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: Offensively, they're good. They's good as even bed In the league.

1784
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna score a lot of points. Since they've scored

1785
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: more points in the NFL than any any team in

1786
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: the league since twenty twenty, there are tops in the league. Nobody,

1787
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 1: not even the Chiefs, scored more points than the Buffalo Bills.

1788
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: They're gonna continue to be that.

1789
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 2: It's on defense, where there's a lot of new defense.

1790
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can say that we got

1791
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: some things to find out. Although I like where the

1792
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 1: needle's headed and I like what they've done, you can't

1793
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: just out of the box say that because we haven't

1794
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: seen it.

1795
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 2: I think overall, though, they're still time you can infer.

1796
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh they're gonna they're one of the team's

1797
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoffs, which is like what fourteen teams, So.

1798
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 2: There you go.

1799
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 1: You're they're right on the cusp if right now, if

1800
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: not higher than that. So we're gonna take a break.

1801
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: Come back to close things up, Steve Tasker, Christapasso. This

1802
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: is One Bill's Live. You're listening to Buffalo Bills Radio.

1803
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Steve Tasker and Christal

1804
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: Passo here to close things up. We're gonna go right

1805
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 1: back to the tweets. You we got a question from

1806
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: Ry Slice. What rookie, your first year player is going

1807
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 1: to surprise us in training camp, this season or preseason.

1808
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 2: I'll go with Curtis Samuel. He is an established player.

1809
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 2: He can be out of the backfield used that way.

1810
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 2: He can be used in the slot like seventy percent

1811
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 2: of the time when he was with Joe Brady, but

1812
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 2: can also play outside and had his best season with

1813
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 2: over seventy catches, eight hundred and fifty one yards and

1814
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 2: a couple of scores with Joe Brady and a much

1815
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 2: lesser quarterback with Carolina in twenty twenty.

1816
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: My guy is a guy draft pick, Javon Solomon. I

1817
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: watched him in the preseason or in the in the

1818
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 1: mini camps and the you know ot as.

1819
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 2: He's got some juice.

1820
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:09,639
Speaker 1: He has got some juice.

1821
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 7: Uh.

1822
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 1: He is a He's very thick from the waist down. Uh.

1823
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: He's got great bend, great explosion off the edge, uses

1824
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 1: his hands well, great athlete. I think that guy's got

1825
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 1: a chance to be really good. I don't know if

1826
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: he will be who knows, but I think a lot

1827
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 1: of people are gonna have I think he's gonna have

1828
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: a great preseason.

1829
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 2: Lead college football in sacks last season at Troy at

1830
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 2: like six foot and two forty so he has that

1831
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 2: Von Miller build. Yeah, and was productive as productive as

1832
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 2: you could probably be to be that. You know, Day
