- 3:34Speaker 3: rock it.
- 3:34Speaker 2: And again shout out to all the people that are
- 3:36Speaker 2: watching on all different platforms, Nicol City Group, Bill's Mafia.
- 3:39Speaker 2: We appreciate you guys, over one thousand people last week,
- 3:42Speaker 2: and again we are just so appreciative. I know DT
- 3:45Speaker 2: and I can being locked up on that way. We
- 3:48Speaker 2: just love the support. We appreciate the support, and let's
- 3:51Speaker 2: rock now as we switch from defense to offense this week, Fellas,
- 3:55Speaker 2: I wanted to get into a couple of things that
- 3:56Speaker 2: have been on my mind. I know that this Everybody
- 3:59Speaker 2: Eats thing has kind of been gnawing at me, and
- 4:01Speaker 2: that's the reason that I named the episode that I
- 4:03Speaker 2: waited that I did. But before we get to Everybody Eats,
- 4:05Speaker 2: let's talk about the actual architect of that moniker that
- 4:09Speaker 2: has kind of taken over this offseason, and that is
- 4:11Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Now for Bill's BOFFI. You know,
- 4:14Speaker 2: he came in last year about halfway through after the
- 4:17Speaker 2: Bills were six and six, when Ken Dorsey was fired,
- 4:20Speaker 2: and we described it Jay Spence. We described it basically
- 4:23Speaker 2: as it was almost a situation where he was kind
- 4:25Speaker 2: of just performing surgery and he was he's working with
- 4:28Speaker 2: somebody else's utensils, so he's just trying to stop the bleeding.
- 4:31Speaker 2: So the Bills did run a ball a lot, But
- 4:32Speaker 2: I was wondering what you thought about it, because I've
- 4:34Speaker 2: already posited this the DT before. But who is Joe Brady?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Because I know that we've seen him back at LSU
- 4:40Speaker 2: and then we saw him. I saw him down here
- 4:42Speaker 2: close up in Charlotte with the Carolina Panthers, and he,
- 4:45Speaker 2: you know, apparently got fired because you know, Matt Rules
- 4:47Speaker 2: said that he wanted to throw the ball too much.
- 4:49Speaker 2: And obviously we saw that LSU team that was one
- 4:51Speaker 2: of the best in college football history of airing it
- 4:53Speaker 2: out with Burrow and Chase and and and all those
- 4:56Speaker 2: guys down there. So what who is Joe Brady? Because
- 5:00Speaker 2: to me that I don't know really much about this
- 5:03Speaker 2: guy in respects to what he wants for the Buffalo
- 5:05Speaker 2: Bills offense. Because again, last year he was running Ken
- 5:08Speaker 2: Dorsey Skien. Should we expect a heavy run approach. Should
- 5:11Speaker 2: we expect that all over again like he did in
- 5:13Speaker 2: the second half of last year. He's got a full
- 5:15Speaker 2: off season, and I'm just interested because I just feel
- 5:19Speaker 2: like I don't know him, man, I really do. I
- 5:20Speaker 2: don't know what to expect Well.
- 5:22Speaker 3: The way I see it, when you look at it,
- 5:25Speaker 3: I think the first question you asked me, who is
- 5:28Speaker 3: Joe Brady, I'll tell you Joe Brady is a quarterback's
- 5:32Speaker 3: best friend. Like that's who he is. For several reasons.
- 5:35Speaker 3: He's going to protect Josh Allen from himself. He's going
- 5:38Speaker 3: to put Josh Allen in a position to be the
- 5:40Speaker 3: best verson. I know we say this now with Bill's
- 5:42Speaker 3: content all the time, but when it comes to this
- 5:45Speaker 3: case with this offensive coordinator, with this quarterback, it's the truth.
- 5:49Speaker 3: He's going to allow Josh Allen to do the things
- 5:52Speaker 3: that he's good at, while kind of I don't want
- 5:55Speaker 3: to say handcuffing him, but he's going to kind of
- 5:57Speaker 3: place some restraints on the things that we don't want
- 6:01Speaker 3: him to get too crazy with.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Yeah, And when you look at the past and you
- 6:06Speaker 3: look at teams that he's either had this role or
- 6:09Speaker 3: a similar role, we go back to Cam Newton's best
- 6:12Speaker 3: season of his career, his MVP year.
- 6:16Speaker 2: That was the Joe Brady.
- 6:17Speaker 3: You know that that offense that you saw, that version
- 6:20Speaker 3: of Cam Newton, that was Joe Brady. Now, I don't
- 6:23Speaker 3: think that exact same offense when I think we're gonna
- 6:25Speaker 3: be Obviously everybody's talking about how like we have like
- 6:28Speaker 3: this you named it offensive buffet and we have like,
- 6:32Speaker 3: you know, a room full of wide receiver twos and
- 6:34Speaker 3: all that stuff. I think while all of that is true,
- 6:37Speaker 3: I think we're looking at it and I think we're
- 6:40Speaker 3: actually looking at this from a perspective where we're undervaluing
- 6:44Speaker 3: what's going to happen. I think this is gonna be
- 6:46Speaker 3: one of the most offensive fun seasons as a fan
- 6:50Speaker 3: that you're gonna be able to, you know, say wow,
- 6:52Speaker 3: just as a Bills fan.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I believe I did not expect you to come and
- 6:57Speaker 2: hit me with that, because d T, you already know
- 7:00Speaker 2: where I stand. And when it comes to Joe Brady DT,
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know, like I said, he was with you know,
- 7:05Speaker 2: it's like going into somebody else's kitchen and it just
- 7:07Speaker 2: you're just kind of thrown off, you know what I mean.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I can cook you the same meal, but I'm just
- 7:11Speaker 2: a little bit thrown off. DT. I'm not really used
- 7:13Speaker 2: to your kitchen and I'm not used to your your tensils.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And I kind of gave Joe Brady the pass for
- 7:18Speaker 2: last year when it comes to how much he was
- 7:20Speaker 2: running the ball. I think the Bills were like top
- 7:22Speaker 2: two run heaviest teams in the league when he took over,
- 7:24Speaker 2: you know, calling the plays down the stretch, and I
- 7:26Speaker 2: just said, Okay, he's running Kendorsey scheme. He's got a
- 7:29Speaker 2: full off season. It's going to be different. I don't
- 7:31Speaker 2: want to see Josh Allen handcuffed. I definitely want to
- 7:35Speaker 2: see him, you know, run when he needs to run.
- 7:37Speaker 2: I want him to be smart about a DT. But
- 7:39Speaker 2: I'm worried that maybe it's like a situation where this
- 7:43Speaker 2: guy thinks that leaning on Jimbo and leaning on that
- 7:46Speaker 2: run game is is overly important. And I understand that
- 7:49Speaker 2: it's important and it has its place, especially late in
- 7:51Speaker 2: the year, but DT, I'm I'm concerned just because I
- 7:54Speaker 2: just don't know him, and I'm just I'm still searching,
- 7:57Speaker 2: basically for the answers, because I don't think last year
- 7:59Speaker 2: gave us all the answers.
- 8:01Speaker 1: We spoke a little bit about this, you know, this
- 8:03Speaker 1: spring of you know was the running game, and the
- 8:06Speaker 1: kind of the the mindset of last year was that
- 8:09Speaker 1: the actual offense of Joe Brady was the emergency surgery,
- 8:13Speaker 1: right we're breeding out on the table let. Whatever we
- 8:15Speaker 1: have to do to keep us alive, keep us moving forward.
- 8:18Speaker 1: And he did that and was successful with that. As
- 8:21Speaker 1: Jasmons mentioned just earlier, he was he was kicked out
- 8:24Speaker 1: of Carolina because he wanted to pass too much, right,
- 8:26Speaker 1: so you know, and then and going back to the
- 8:29Speaker 1: recent history of him at LSU with a high powered
- 8:32Speaker 1: offense and Joe Burrow, you know, they were very pass
- 8:35Speaker 1: happy as well. So I don't think in his core
- 8:37Speaker 1: he's looking to run more or more than pass or
- 8:40Speaker 1: anything like that. When you have one seven, it's going
- 8:42Speaker 1: to be a pass first offense. That's just how it's
- 8:44Speaker 1: going to be, no matter what type offensive coordinator you are.
- 8:47Speaker 1: But I think the truth is, you know, he is unproven, right,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I mean he LSU team with studs in the collegiate level.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Then you go to Carolina where you really didn't have
- 8:58Speaker 1: a roster and you know, kind of a college coach
- 9:00Speaker 1: and a college mentality coach, and you know, coming up
- 9:04Speaker 1: and it doesn't work in the NFL. We see the
- 9:05Speaker 1: time and time again. So now you're here, you have
- 9:07Speaker 1: the opportunity to actually have a decent you know, at
- 9:10Speaker 1: least quarterback one under you. When a franchise player who's
- 9:14Speaker 1: eight seven years into his career, like he's going to
- 9:16Speaker 1: help you just as much as you're helping him.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Right, he's interesting.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Doesn't have to do as much. Joe Brady doesn't have
- 9:22Speaker 1: to do as much as the offensive coordinator like Dable
- 9:25Speaker 1: did back in you know, the twenty nineteen season when
- 9:28Speaker 1: we were running all over everybody and he kind of
- 9:30Speaker 1: drew everything up and it was just Josh, show it here,
- 9:32Speaker 1: it'll be open. Now Josh knows what's going to be open,
- 9:35Speaker 1: and Brady can kind of they can work together, So
- 9:37Speaker 1: it takes a little more pressure off Joe Brady. And
- 9:39Speaker 1: I'm not scared that he's going to be a conservative
- 9:42Speaker 1: coach by any means he's going to use one to
- 9:44Speaker 1: seven as a weapon, which I mean, you'd be.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Dumb not to, right, Yeah, I guess I guess that's right.
- 9:49Speaker 2: I guess that's true. I'll concede on that. As we transitioned,
- 9:54Speaker 2: Jake King, I have to get I just I have
- 9:57Speaker 2: to get this off my chest, and I have you
- 9:59Speaker 2: already alluded to it a little bit, but I had
- 10:01Speaker 2: to get this off my chest, and I want your perspective,
- 10:03Speaker 2: because I appreciate your your points, and you've heard me
- 10:05Speaker 2: on some Twitter battles with those guys that do those
- 10:08Speaker 2: live audios and just me just going at it with
- 10:11Speaker 2: cats Man, and then Twitter's been one of my favorite places.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I never thought I would say that, but Twitter has been.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I just love a good argument, love, I love to
- 10:18Speaker 2: battle man. This everybody eats thing, man, I swear to
- 10:24Speaker 2: God that I promise you it. Sometimes it sounds to
- 10:27Speaker 2: me like coping, and I can explain what I mean
- 10:29Speaker 2: by that. A lot of times. What happens is that
- 10:31Speaker 2: when when situations change and they're not really favorable, what
- 10:36Speaker 2: one of our own mechanisms is a human thing, it's
- 10:38Speaker 2: not even just a sports thing. Is that we're gonna
- 10:40Speaker 2: we're gonna cope with it, and we're gonna find ways
- 10:42Speaker 2: to be okay with it. When fourteen left, I thought
- 10:44Speaker 2: that what I hear with Joe Brady coming out with
- 10:47Speaker 2: this everybody eats thing is like that sounds like some
- 10:49Speaker 2: shit that a team that doesn't have good offensive weapon says.
- 10:53Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, that's how it That's how it
- 10:55Speaker 2: comes across to me. Now, I know that everybody wants
- 10:57Speaker 2: to hold up the Green Bay Packers as an example.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I read a great article some weeks back on that
- 11:02Speaker 2: exact topic. I know everybody wants to hold up the
- 11:05Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, which it just doesn't make any sense
- 11:07Speaker 2: to me because they don't even want to be that way.
- 11:09Speaker 2: They had a horrible offense last year and their defense
- 11:11Speaker 2: carried them to that Super Bowl, So that really doesn't
- 11:14Speaker 2: hold too much weight with me. When I see the
- 11:16Speaker 2: wide receiver room, you already alluded to it, Jay Spence,
- 11:20Speaker 2: I see I see a room of c's or B minuses,
- 11:25Speaker 2: and then everybody wanting to convince me that this everybody
- 11:28Speaker 2: eats approach is going to equate to a better wide
- 11:31Speaker 2: receiver room than when it was with Digs and Sanders
- 11:34Speaker 2: and Beasley and stuff like that. And I just I
- 11:37Speaker 2: just have a hard time buying it, and I chalk
- 11:40Speaker 2: me off the ledge. I guess, give me your perspective,
- 11:42Speaker 2: because I don't buy it. I just don't buy this
- 11:45Speaker 2: everybody eats things at all ways. It just sounds like
- 11:46Speaker 2: like coping. It sounds like we don't have a wide
- 11:49Speaker 2: receiver one, so we've got all these different weapons that
- 11:52Speaker 2: maybe will equate to a wide receiver one, but they don't.
- 11:54Speaker 2: So everybody eats as the moniker and I just, I
- 11:57Speaker 2: don't know, starting to get on my nerves until these
- 11:58Speaker 2: games start. That's fair.
- 12:00Speaker 3: There's one hundred percent fair to have that perspective, especially
- 12:04Speaker 3: after going from you know, we've had now four seasons,
- 12:08Speaker 3: you know, seeing Stefan Diggs play at a very high level,
- 12:11Speaker 3: you know what I mean, So going from having an
- 12:14Speaker 3: all Pro wide receiver to now you're questioning whether or
- 12:17Speaker 3: not we even have a legitimate wide receiver one on
- 12:19Speaker 3: a roster. And that's not a shot. I'm not taking
- 12:21Speaker 3: a shot at Kean or anybody. But this is what
- 12:24Speaker 3: the media, this is what the conversation is. There are
- 12:26Speaker 3: legitimate questions as to who's the wide receiver one, and
- 12:30Speaker 3: you know, so I understand where you're coming from. But
- 12:32Speaker 3: I think the difference this time, I'm not at all
- 12:35Speaker 3: like trying to defend what everybody's saying about to everybody
- 12:39Speaker 3: each thing. What I think is, though, I think this
- 12:41Speaker 3: is the first time as a Bills fan, you're finally
- 12:44Speaker 3: going to see the Buffalo because we kind of caught
- 12:47Speaker 3: up to modern football when Brian dave Ball was here, right,
- 12:51Speaker 3: But now I feel like there's been a new wave
- 12:53Speaker 3: of football that we've seen in Miami, We've seen it
- 12:56Speaker 3: in San Francisco. We've seen kind of like a position
- 12:59Speaker 3: list all offense, and I feel like everybody, each thing
- 13:04Speaker 3: is really gonna be that versus it being everybody East.
- 13:08Speaker 3: We gonna spread the ball around. I don't think it's
- 13:10Speaker 3: gonna look like a traditional spread the ball around type deal.
- 13:13Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be very creative. I think you're
- 13:15Speaker 3: gonna see Curtis Samuel is going to have the second
- 13:18Speaker 3: most snat like handoffs on this team.
- 13:21Speaker 2: He's gonna run the ball more than.
- 13:24Speaker 3: So that's my I don't know if it's a hot take,
- 13:26Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm telling you, like the offense
- 13:28Speaker 3: is going you're gonna see a couple of years back,
- 13:30Speaker 3: Isaah McKenzie had like the little gadget trip play thing
- 13:34Speaker 3: that they use him for. Curtis Samuel is gonna get
- 13:36Speaker 3: a lot of that. But he's also I think I
- 13:38Speaker 3: think we kind of underestimate him as a receiver because
- 13:42Speaker 3: we haven't seen him play with an elite quarterback to
- 13:44Speaker 3: this level. But Curtis Samuel was like that, it's just
- 13:47Speaker 3: that he's been in situations washing you know what I'm saying.
- 13:52Speaker 3: But but when you really look at his attributes and
- 13:54Speaker 3: you look at him as a player, he's one of
- 13:56Speaker 3: those ones like he's not he's not.
- 13:58Speaker 1: He's not.
- 13:59Speaker 3: I don't want to take I said nobody, so I won't.
- 14:00Speaker 2: But he's not, you know.
- 14:02Speaker 3: But but he's somebody that you can do that Josh
- 14:05Speaker 3: will depend on every week, like he's going to depend
- 14:08Speaker 3: on him every week. So I just you know, I'm
- 14:11Speaker 3: very like I said at the top of the show,
- 14:13Speaker 3: I'm very excited about the direction of the offense. I'm
- 14:15Speaker 3: more concerned about defense and Sean McDermott than I am
- 14:18Speaker 3: at all about the offense. Like to me, the Office,
- 14:22Speaker 3: James Cook is on the show that he's a top
- 14:23Speaker 3: three running back of the season. You're gonna have Khalil
- 14:26Speaker 3: Shaker kind of step up into a road that's going
- 14:28Speaker 3: to it's gonna be reminiscent of like a Bobby Trees
- 14:33Speaker 3: that Robert Woods row where he's like a great security
- 14:36Speaker 3: blanket and he also he's short handed and he that's
- 14:39Speaker 3: what we're gonna get out of Khalil, but a little
- 14:41Speaker 3: bit more because I think he's a better receiver. So
- 14:43Speaker 3: just overall, I just think, you know, you know, we
- 14:46Speaker 3: look at it and it's like, we don't have a
- 14:47Speaker 3: wide receiver one. So we as as a fan base
- 14:50Speaker 3: be like, man, this but yo, it's gonna be nice.
- 14:53Speaker 3: It's gonna be nice.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Man.
- 14:54Speaker 3: It's gonna look like the Warriors when they when it
- 14:56Speaker 3: just was positionless.
- 14:57Speaker 2: It's gonna look like wow, wow, DT, you hear this,
- 15:01Speaker 2: This is this is interesting DT, because I don't I
- 15:04Speaker 2: don't know where do you stand on it? Everybody eats
- 15:06Speaker 2: thing I always thought was sounded like a coping thing.
- 15:08Speaker 2: But you know, Jay Spence lays out some good points
- 15:11Speaker 2: that I haven't really heard before. I do respect Curtis Samuel.
- 15:15Speaker 2: I do respect Curtis Samuel, and I know that he's
- 15:17Speaker 2: played with some shitty quarterbacks. I think one of my
- 15:20Speaker 2: biggest I think.
- 15:21Speaker 3: One of my biggest keeping Punky Man.
- 15:25Speaker 2: We keep it punking here, Nicolas City Crew DT one
- 15:27Speaker 2: of the biggest things. And I know that Jay Spence
- 15:29Speaker 2: has to bounce, so I want to get his opinion.
- 15:31Speaker 2: But DT, one of the things that I was worried about.
- 15:34Speaker 2: He already alluded to it. A lot of guys DT
- 15:36Speaker 2: are getting ready to step into a role that they
- 15:38Speaker 2: have never had. They are getting ready to carry weight
- 15:41Speaker 2: that they have never had to carry before. That that
- 15:43Speaker 2: goes from Samuel, that goes from Shakir, who we love
- 15:45Speaker 2: to talk about. We'll talk about the tight ends at
- 15:48Speaker 2: the end, but I mean, there's got a lot of
- 15:51Speaker 2: guys that are getting ready to step into a role
- 15:52Speaker 2: that they have not had to carry before. And that's
- 15:54Speaker 2: I think is one of the biggest things that worries me.
- 15:56Speaker 2: When I see a bunch of guys that I would
- 15:59Speaker 2: classify as or B minuses, then I'm just like, you've
- 16:02Speaker 2: never done this before. Mccollins, you've never done this before.
- 16:06Speaker 2: You're you're gonna have to step into a bigger role.
- 16:08Speaker 2: DT There's more, of.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Course, but the way of the world is Jason said,
- 16:12Speaker 1: the way of the world the positionless football. I don't
- 16:14Speaker 1: think it's everybody eats in the in the form of
- 16:17Speaker 1: everybody on this offense is gonna have equal share of
- 16:20Speaker 1: targets and runs n type. I think it's everybody eats opportunity.
- 16:24Speaker 1: It's an opportunity to be a leader, to be the
- 16:26Speaker 1: one to be the guy who gets the most touches
- 16:29Speaker 1: on the offensive end. I think that's what everybody eats.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Oh, equal opportunity offense, Okay, to get to the top.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Like it's set up for somebody to lead. Somebody will
- 16:38Speaker 1: be the leader in touches, somebody will be the leader
- 16:40Speaker 1: in touchdowns. It has to be. I mean, so the
- 16:43Speaker 1: way I think it's it's moving in that direction of yes,
- 16:46Speaker 1: everybody eats until somebody kind of falls into that one role.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I mean, this is real glass half full mentality, right Rob.
- 16:52Speaker 1: But yes, nobody's done it, but it's opportunity for someone
- 16:55Speaker 1: who hasn't done it to do it. And people that
- 16:57Speaker 1: never did it always stepped up and did it. You
- 16:59Speaker 1: know that Von Diggs never did it till he did it, right,
- 17:02Speaker 1: So that's kind of the to get out of jail three.
- 17:04Speaker 1: You knows, cliche answer, I can give you the that
- 17:07Speaker 1: like it's set up to kind of be trending that
- 17:10Speaker 1: way we talked about it in the offseason in the
- 17:12Speaker 1: world is the incremental uplifts of everybody on this offense.
- 17:15Speaker 1: A lot of them very conservatively can take upswings and
- 17:18Speaker 1: then open the door for somebody to have a breakout
- 17:20Speaker 1: season be the one be the leader of that receiving corps.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Running back corps, whatever it is that creates the catalyst
- 17:27Speaker 1: to that offense. On the other side of it, you know,
- 17:29Speaker 1: we look at the schedule and when you play stud
- 17:31Speaker 1: after stud after stud every week, other teams have prime receivers,
- 17:34Speaker 1: and the Chiefs wouldn't be going and getting prime receivers
- 17:36Speaker 1: if they didn't think it's important. So the very least
- 17:40Speaker 1: this does, this experiment, if you will, the very least
- 17:42Speaker 1: this experiment does, is if we get to the end
- 17:45Speaker 1: of the year and it is a we needed the
- 17:48Speaker 1: number one guy and it was a complete disaster and
- 17:50Speaker 1: we missed the playoffs or barely make it in a
- 17:52Speaker 1: while beet or whatever the case is, then we know
- 17:54Speaker 1: exactly what the answer is. I don't want that. That's
- 17:56Speaker 1: a horrible way behind it. But at the very least
- 18:00Speaker 1: we have our answer with what we need to do
- 18:02Speaker 1: moving forward with a ton of money next year. Hate
- 18:04Speaker 1: looking forward. It's win now for sure, but at the
- 18:06Speaker 1: very least we still have an answer at the end
- 18:08Speaker 1: of the year.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting what you got to king and what you
- 18:13Speaker 2: have to.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Well, I want to agree with what he said, but
- 18:16Speaker 3: I also want to add, you know, Okay, so one
- 18:19Speaker 3: of my favorite movies and now I'm gonna forget the
- 18:21Speaker 3: dog on name of it just because I want to
- 18:22Speaker 3: talk about it. But you know the basketball movie from
- 18:27Speaker 3: what was it now like? And they were in California,
- 18:29Speaker 3: the high school team and then later no, no, it
- 18:34Speaker 3: was the high school team and they won States and
- 18:37Speaker 3: coach had a son on the team and he ended
- 18:39Speaker 3: up longs story short, the two leading scorers on the
- 18:42Speaker 3: team didn't like the way he came and he came
- 18:43Speaker 3: in contracts and stuff, and we just wanted to change
- 18:46Speaker 3: the culture. The two leading scorers walked out and they
- 18:48Speaker 3: and he said, coach Carter, Coach Carter, coach car Man,
- 18:52Speaker 3: those were our two leading scores. And he's like, well,
- 18:55Speaker 3: that just means were gonna have two new leading scorers.
- 18:57Speaker 3: So just to back up what my man here was saying,
- 18:59Speaker 3: it's like that and you're missing Digs, you're missing Davis.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Somebody is going to get that production. And the thing
- 19:07Speaker 3: is too. I also just kind of want to reiterate.
- 19:09Speaker 3: I know we're talking about the wide receiver room being
- 19:11Speaker 3: full of like be's and c's. No, No, I'm not
- 19:15Speaker 3: I'm not just well I'm not with you. I'm actually
- 19:18Speaker 3: I will back you on that like I will I
- 19:20Speaker 3: will say that we have an underwhelming group of receivers.
- 19:25Speaker 3: When you look at the collection of talent around the division.
- 19:27Speaker 3: I think Miami's wide receiver room is insanely talented. I
- 19:31Speaker 3: think the Jets eat and they just got Mike Williams
- 19:33Speaker 3: off of you. So it's like the very man like
- 19:39Speaker 3: they have a very Both teams have very talented wide
- 19:42Speaker 3: receiver groups. You got the Patriots, who is looking to
- 19:44Speaker 3: try and get Brandon Ayuk he didn't want to come.
- 19:47Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is like, when you look at that,
- 19:49Speaker 3: it's like wide receiver groups, it's just not there. But
- 19:52Speaker 3: kin Kid is technically our wide receiver one. So like
- 19:55Speaker 3: I don't want to forget, like like like we really
- 19:59Speaker 3: like that. So I just oh, he is looking at it.
- 20:03Speaker 3: But it's like, so I just gotta want to remind
- 20:05Speaker 3: everybody listening. It's like, while we're talking about you know,
- 20:08Speaker 3: the Curtis Samuel's stepping into a row he has and
- 20:10Speaker 3: or here or whoever, you know, if Klaypoo somehow makes
- 20:15Speaker 3: this roster with the injury that he has right now,
- 20:17Speaker 3: and Coleman, so whoever is in that role, I just
- 20:22Speaker 3: you know, Kinkaid is really that one, Like he's that guy.
- 20:25Speaker 2: As we transition, it's it's funny because you talk about
- 20:28Speaker 2: Kinkaid and he's literally next on the list. Tonight's episode,
- 20:31Speaker 2: again presented by twenty six Shirts, head on over to
- 20:34Speaker 2: twenty six shirts dot com for all of your latest

- 21:00Speaker 2: So go over there and support now. As we transition,
- 21:03Speaker 2: it's funny you stole my notes. Jay Spence the King.
- 21:06Speaker 2: I mean it's funny because DT they talk about this
- 21:10Speaker 2: guy like he is the next coming. He is quickly
- 21:13Speaker 2: a fan favorite. I think that Honestly, I heard something
- 21:16Speaker 2: on WGR this week and have had to agree with
- 21:18Speaker 2: it that I think that his coming, along with the
- 21:21Speaker 2: fact that they've got this other kid in camp, that
- 21:23Speaker 2: maybe Dawson's Knox's days are numbered in the future, you
- 21:26Speaker 2: know what I mean, Because he's getting that big contract
- 21:28Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid, and it's right here on my notes. Is
- 21:31Speaker 2: he ready for his close up? Fellas? I'll leave it
- 21:34Speaker 2: with you DT, and then I want to get Jay
- 21:36Speaker 2: Spence on it as well. But is this guy ready
- 21:38Speaker 2: for his close up? Because I feel there are so
- 21:41Speaker 2: many people like Jay Spence that he's really our number
- 21:43Speaker 2: one ride receiver. I think even Joe Brady last week
- 21:46Speaker 2: addresses the media actually called him a receiver. I mean,
- 21:50Speaker 2: they've just got big plans for this guy, it seems like.
- 21:53Speaker 2: And I think that the spotlight's going to be right
- 21:55Speaker 2: on him. I don't think there's anywhere to hide. He's
- 21:57Speaker 2: going to get some targets for sure.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Well, that's it's got to be right. He's got to
- 22:01Speaker 1: be ready for it. If he's not, we're going to
- 22:03Speaker 1: know quick and it's going to be a parent his
- 22:05Speaker 1: health if he's not ready for it. But you know,
- 22:08Speaker 1: where were the Bills and Josh Allen most successful offensively
- 22:11Speaker 1: back in a couple of years ago. It was across
- 22:12Speaker 1: the middle. It was the cold Beasleys of the world.
- 22:14Speaker 1: It was the you know, the those guaranteed pickups that
- 22:18Speaker 1: they he gave one seven confidence and let him cut
- 22:20Speaker 1: loose to the outside, to the boundaries, and then he
- 22:23Speaker 1: could hit over the middle and pick up those first
- 22:24Speaker 1: downs to move them down the field and not stall
- 22:27Speaker 1: drives what we saw. We want layups, right, we always
- 22:30Speaker 1: want these three layups, and Joe Brady creating these niche
- 22:33Speaker 1: kind of across the middle. Dalton k K. You know,
- 22:36Speaker 1: isn't just a crow route guy. He can run up
- 22:38Speaker 1: the scene. He can beat your safety. So there's I
- 22:40Speaker 1: think that middle aspect of this offense is just something
- 22:43Speaker 1: that's not just comfortable to one seven, but something that
- 22:46Speaker 1: gets us out of stalling, gives us those layups we're
- 22:49Speaker 1: kind of looking for. So, yes, the opportunity will be
- 22:51Speaker 1: with him. He asked to answer the bell. We'll know
- 22:53Speaker 1: if he won't, but I think he's going to get
- 22:55Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity to do so with some easy
- 22:58Speaker 1: if you will looks. I mean, Travis Kels, he has
- 23:00Speaker 1: opened every single play they do. It's not that fast,
- 23:03Speaker 1: you know, but he's not that fast, fast, and just a athletic.
- 23:08Speaker 1: If Travis Kelskon can be opened every place, so can contained.
- 23:11Speaker 1: And that's just confidence booster all the way around this offense.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Jay Spence. They talk about this cat like he's the
- 23:17Speaker 2: second coming. They love him. I mean, he's he seems
- 23:21Speaker 2: to be a fan favorite already after one year and
- 23:24Speaker 2: you know, some some pretty good production. I know he
- 23:26Speaker 2: was one of the most prolific tight ends in Bill's
- 23:28Speaker 2: tight end history. But what do you see for the
- 23:31Speaker 2: future of this guy. You've already alluded to it a
- 23:33Speaker 2: couple of times. He's a receiver. Joe Brady does the
- 23:35Speaker 2: same thing and talks about him as he's the big slot.
- 23:38Speaker 2: I mean, he's got to be ready for his close
- 23:41Speaker 2: up because I think that Josh is going to lee
- 23:42Speaker 2: on him big time this year.
- 23:44Speaker 3: I mean I think he was. I think he had
- 23:46Speaker 3: his close up last year, you know, like if we're
- 23:48Speaker 3: honest about it, like like you even like just go
- 23:50Speaker 3: back to I mean, I'm looking at his game logs
- 23:53Speaker 3: right now. He had a game Cincinnati. He got eleven targets,
- 23:56Speaker 3: he caught ten catches, ten passes against Miami, had eight targets,
- 24:00Speaker 3: seven receptions. You know in the in the laws to
- 24:03Speaker 3: Kansas City and the playoffs, five targets, five receptions, Like
- 24:07Speaker 3: he's a short handed receiver. He Josh trusts him, he
- 24:10Speaker 3: depends on him. And one of the things that are
- 24:13Speaker 3: now when we go back to the everybody each thing,
- 24:16Speaker 3: Josh isn't gonna be trying to force feed a Stephan
- 24:18Speaker 3: Diggs to keep them happy. So now you're going to
- 24:22Speaker 3: get these opportunities where Kincaid, you know, the other tight
- 24:26Speaker 3: ends of the room. Now, I know, I do want
- 24:27Speaker 3: to say, you know, you mentioned that there's some talk
- 24:30Speaker 3: about maybe uh Nax's time kind of coming to an
- 24:34Speaker 3: end here. I don't think that's the case.
- 24:35Speaker 2: I think the Buffalo Bills have.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Been trying for three years now to go heavy tight end,
- 24:41Speaker 3: to have two, you know, and so I think what
- 24:43Speaker 3: they're gonna do is they want to have three, three
- 24:45Speaker 3: good tight ends on the roster, and I think they
- 24:47Speaker 3: will probably sacrifice one of the wide receiver spots for it.
- 24:51Speaker 3: I think we're gonna see a heavy tight end team
- 24:53Speaker 3: versus a heavy wide receiver team, and because of Kincaid's
- 24:57Speaker 3: ability to kind of play receiver and but but no, man,
- 25:01Speaker 3: I think I think Kate is gonna be that guy
- 25:03Speaker 3: for for years, and he's gonna be the guy that
- 25:06Speaker 3: is breaking records with Josh so like the tight End
- 25:08Speaker 3: records for Buffalo and all this stuff. He's about to
- 25:11Speaker 3: go through the record books and just destroy Like you're gonna, like,
- 25:14Speaker 3: go and look at the record for Bill's tight Ends.
- 25:17Speaker 3: I promise you he's gonna destroy it by like he'll
- 25:20Speaker 3: he'll he'll multiply that list, like all the numbers that
- 25:22Speaker 3: are on there together, he and Joshu multiply it. But hey,
- 25:25Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta run on out of here. I
- 25:27Speaker 3: just want to appreciate you guys again. Please check all
- 25:30Speaker 3: the stuff I got coming out. So Rumbland's Network, we
- 25:34Speaker 3: were back this season. We got the chop Up, Me
- 25:37Speaker 3: and Sterling will be live every Wednesday night. Me and
- 25:40Speaker 3: Joe are actually gonna be live Wednesday nights again, so
- 25:43Speaker 3: I'll be double dipping with the hump Day Hotline as well.
- 25:45Speaker 3: And then uh, we're gonna be figuring out Code of Conduct.
- 25:48Speaker 3: I think Code of Conduct will be back. I just
- 25:49Speaker 3: kind of figure out what direction I want to go
- 25:51Speaker 3: in it, but we'll be back.
- 25:52Speaker 2: So again, I just want to thank you man, I
- 25:54Speaker 2: love y'all.
- 25:55Speaker 3: We got to do this again soon when I when
- 25:57Speaker 3: I don't have another unfortunate obligation. But I love y'all.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Man, have a good show.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Thanks for stopping by.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Man.
- 26:03Speaker 2: It's interesting, DT, because you know when I when I
- 26:06Speaker 2: think about it, you know, Ken Kaid is so he's
- 26:10Speaker 2: that polarizing. It's not even the right word. He's just so.
- 26:13Speaker 2: He he seems to just get so much attention, and
- 26:16Speaker 2: I'm just wondering if if he's ready, That's what I
- 26:18Speaker 2: mean when I say if he's ready for his close up.
- 26:20Speaker 2: I know Jay Spence said he already had his close
- 26:21Speaker 2: up last year, but it was it was a moderate year,
- 26:24Speaker 2: you know. We you know, we had to compare in
- 26:25Speaker 2: the Sam Report, and Sam Reporter won all the records
- 26:27Speaker 2: and stuff like that and and did all the tight
- 26:29Speaker 2: end stuff. But I feel like there's just there's just
- 26:32Speaker 2: gonna be so much more on his plate. I think
- 26:33Speaker 2: that that's the theme for me for tonight's episode, is
- 26:36Speaker 2: that with this Everybody's eats, there's just gonna be so
- 26:38Speaker 2: much more on his plate. There's gonna be he's gonna
- 26:41Speaker 2: be relied on even more next season, and he's got
- 26:43Speaker 2: to be He's got to be everything that you described,
- 26:45Speaker 2: everything that Jay Spence described. He's gonna have to be
- 26:48Speaker 2: that for Josh Allen. I think they're going to need it.
- 26:50Speaker 2: I really do.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Nobody nobody else had the opportunity to get this type
- 26:55Speaker 1: of attention. Khalil Shakir, right, who else was going to
- 27:00Speaker 1: get this attention to be the guy? Right? I mean
- 27:03Speaker 1: khalilsion here, that's true budding and growing, But there was
- 27:06Speaker 1: no other choice. True was eighty six, and so it's
- 27:10Speaker 1: just naturally eighty six and hopefully, you know, it's a
- 27:12Speaker 1: natural talk. We talked naturally and it's a perfect fairy
- 27:16Speaker 1: tale and he fits into it and he's the next
- 27:19Speaker 1: bigger and better Travis Kelsey, the gronks of the of
- 27:22Speaker 1: the Brady era, the you know, all these tight ends
- 27:25Speaker 1: that that go down in history and on these Super
- 27:27Speaker 1: Bowl running teams. So that's what we hope for that.
- 27:30Speaker 1: And I think it's just not by choice. Well it
- 27:33Speaker 1: is by choice because there was no other choice. If
- 27:37Speaker 1: he doesn't have a choice, Hopefully he steps into that
- 27:40Speaker 1: role and you know, takes it takes it.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Takes, Yeah, it takes the buffalo by the horns for sure. Now,
- 27:46Speaker 2: as we transition and move around the offense. Again. Shout
- 27:49Speaker 2: out to Jay Spence the King for joining us tonight.
- 27:51Speaker 2: He had another engagement meeting, and we appreciate him spending
- 27:54Speaker 2: some time with us. But you know, it's interesting because
- 27:57Speaker 2: I know that DT love Jimbo and you're one of
- 28:01Speaker 2: his biggest supporters. And then I heard Jay Spence just
- 28:04Speaker 2: you know, old Jimbo's gonna be a top three running back.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I know one thing that I do know about this
- 28:08Speaker 2: young man is that I keep hearing about this motherfucker
- 28:11Speaker 2: dropping the ball all the time. So what I need.
- 28:13Speaker 2: I heard Sal talk about it the other day, you
- 28:16Speaker 2: know on WGR when he was giving his camp update.
- 28:18Speaker 2: I know that I keep hearing that he's having these
- 28:20Speaker 2: drop issues and fumbling and just ball control in general,
- 28:23Speaker 2: whether he's running with it or whether he's trying to
- 28:25Speaker 2: catch it and secure it. Boy, I need him to
- 28:27Speaker 2: clean it up. And we talked about that earlier in
- 28:30Speaker 2: the offseason, and it still seems to be a thing
- 28:33Speaker 2: as recently as of yesterday, you know, the second last
- 28:37Speaker 2: day of camp. DT man, like I don't we just
- 28:40Speaker 2: the margin for error when you lose fourteen and when
- 28:43Speaker 2: and when you condense everything, and when you grab and
- 28:46Speaker 2: you embrace us, everybody eats approach. Everybody's got to just
- 28:50Speaker 2: step their game up just a little bit more. Everybody's
- 28:52Speaker 2: got to do a little bit more. And that includes Jimbo.
- 28:55Speaker 2: James Cook has got to stop with this dropping the ball, fumbling.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I think that it's something that can really bite them
- 29:00Speaker 2: in the ass. It really didn't bite us in the
- 29:02Speaker 2: ass too much last year. Most of his drops came
- 29:05Speaker 2: when games were already winning and stuff like that, so
- 29:07Speaker 2: it was nothing that really hurt us truly. But I
- 29:09Speaker 2: think we've already talked about the margins are going to
- 29:11Speaker 2: be thinner this year. You can't. You can't have it, man,
- 29:13Speaker 2: I need this guy to get his ship together. I'm sorry, Well, Rob,
- 29:17Speaker 2: this is deep, deep rooted. You know, this is deep rooted.
- 29:20Speaker 1: In his first touch as an NFL player, he put
- 29:23Speaker 1: the ball on the ground, uh you know, the first
- 29:25Speaker 1: play of the game against the Broncos this last year,
- 29:27Speaker 1: and when we go six, when we you know, are wheeling,
- 29:31Speaker 1: he turns the ball over. They they had some big drop,
- 29:34Speaker 1: had the big drop against Philadelphia in a game went
- 29:36Speaker 1: to overtime. That that touchdown by you know, secured us
- 29:39Speaker 1: the victory and might even put us in a situation.
- 29:41Speaker 1: So did you say it kind of did hurt us
- 29:43Speaker 1: at that Broncos game. Even though it didn't the actual
- 29:50Speaker 1: it wasn't didn't come at the end of the game,
- 29:51Speaker 1: it definitely messed with the whole mojo of that game
- 29:54Speaker 1: at home on Monday night against me. Yeah, exactly. So
- 29:58Speaker 1: it's deep, it's beet rooted, you know, it's something that
- 30:02Speaker 1: isn't just popping up. But that also means, like we
- 30:04Speaker 1: just talked about with Concave, that the spotlight is just
- 30:06Speaker 1: a lot more on. Yes, the margin of air is thinner.
- 30:11Speaker 1: And last year the Chiefs come in on the road
- 30:13Speaker 1: and play the Bills and the Ravens and have zero
- 30:15Speaker 1: pre snack penalties. You talk about details and game of inches,
- 30:18Speaker 1: and it really is a game of inches, and the
- 30:21Speaker 1: Chiefs you know, have that culture and discipline to not
- 30:24Speaker 1: make mistakes down the stretch. And ball security is a
- 30:27Speaker 1: huge thing down the stretch. Josh Allen gets hit on
- 30:30Speaker 1: his turnovers all the time, except he goes to the
- 30:32Speaker 1: playoffs and he doesn't turn the ball over. James Cook
- 30:35Speaker 1: definitely has to tighten it up. The spotlight is on
- 30:38Speaker 1: him more so it's being noticed a lot more. But
- 30:41Speaker 1: if he noticed it, they're not just making it up.
- 30:43Speaker 1: He is dropping the ball, he is bubbling, you know,
- 30:45Speaker 1: So he is doing those things. And this is where
- 30:48Speaker 1: we meet John and Dermot kind of go back to
- 30:50Speaker 1: his old not so much bench to do for you know,
- 30:53Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of quarters or anything like that, but the
- 30:56Speaker 1: presence of ball security and then kind of that old
- 30:58Speaker 1: school badass of Sean mctermott that we criticized him for,
- 31:02Speaker 1: show him a little more of that. Get this dude
- 31:04Speaker 1: in check. That's why, you know, I'm not saying that
- 31:07Speaker 1: this is going to solve all problems, but I was
- 31:08Speaker 1: clamoring in the in the off season, bringing his brother
- 31:11Speaker 1: Delvin for a few months and you know, force him
- 31:14Speaker 1: to kind of what are you, you know so ship
- 31:22Speaker 1: like that's it going to pump him up, But you
- 31:24Speaker 1: know it's you got to come. You got to answer
- 31:26Speaker 1: the bell. Like you said, the margin of mayor is
- 31:27Speaker 1: a lot slimmer. Everybody on this offense is going to
- 31:29Speaker 1: have to step up to fill the boys that are
- 31:31Speaker 1: gone and putting the ball on the ground and doing
- 31:33Speaker 1: the same shit you've been doing for a couple of years. Yes,
- 31:35Speaker 1: you've been productive in other ways and increase your career,
- 31:39Speaker 1: keep doing that, but now you've got to tighten it
- 31:41Speaker 1: up on the back end because it really is a
- 31:42Speaker 1: game of inches, rob the game of you know, a
- 31:44Speaker 1: fumble could literally lose this Super Bowl and deep into
- 31:47Speaker 1: the season. So it's things that really matter. And and
- 31:51Speaker 1: when you're in a prime back and you want to
- 31:53Speaker 1: be considered a top back, the top backs in the
- 31:55Speaker 1: league don't do that. So, yeah, you have potential to
- 31:58Speaker 1: be a top back. You have to talent to you're
- 32:00Speaker 1: putting up the yards to do it. But you fumble
- 32:03Speaker 1: the ball. You know, you have to complete your game
- 32:05Speaker 1: as a player, for your legacy, for everything. So I'm
- 32:07Speaker 1: not super worried about it. I think the lights on
- 32:09Speaker 1: him more. And so you're you're hearing stuff that might
- 32:12Speaker 1: not be an issue per se. It just he kind
- 32:14Speaker 1: of was you know, dropped it down the sideline. But
- 32:16Speaker 1: it wasn't pulls leader. You know, we don't know the context.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Right, that's true.
- 32:20Speaker 1: At the same time, it's if you're being looked at
- 32:22Speaker 1: on it, and if you're still doing it people are
- 32:24Speaker 1: talking to you about it, you got to tighten that
- 32:26Speaker 1: shit up.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. I mean I think Sale said
- 32:28Speaker 2: that one of them was Demorrow Hamlin poked it out
- 32:31Speaker 2: right at the goal line, so he's like, you know,
- 32:32Speaker 2: it was debatable if it was already a touchdown or not,
- 32:34Speaker 2: but why even leave it for chance? And I agree
- 32:36Speaker 2: with that because we saw how that works with plays
- 32:39Speaker 2: right there on the goal line. So and then another
- 32:40Speaker 2: one just you know, straight up just dropped it or
- 32:43Speaker 2: or just a fumble. So Basson care is going to
- 32:45Speaker 2: be important. I guess Ray Davis has had his issues
- 32:48Speaker 2: a few times as well with that, so I expect
- 32:50Speaker 2: to see him. I expect to see Todd Johnson when
- 32:52Speaker 2: he gets back for that running back room. It looks
- 32:54Speaker 2: like it'll be those three, to be honest, and maybe
- 32:56Speaker 2: Frank gorg Junior can sneak in, but for now, Todd
- 32:59Speaker 2: Johnson healthy, Todd Johnson when he gets back, along with
- 33:02Speaker 2: Ray Davis the rookie, and and Ray is almost you know,
- 33:05Speaker 2: like a rolling bowling ball, you know, with knives sticking out.
- 33:07Speaker 2: He's he's one of those types of backs. And even
- 33:09Speaker 2: though he's small, he's you know, he's thick, So I
- 33:12Speaker 2: expect some things out of him, and he can also
- 33:14Speaker 2: catch the ball out of the backfield when he does it.
- 33:15Speaker 2: So ball security, I think for sure, if we were
- 33:18Speaker 2: playing that word association game like we were last week,
- 33:21Speaker 2: that would be it for the running back room.
- 33:23Speaker 1: It goes all the way to the top. One to seven.
- 33:25Speaker 1: You know has gotten a lot better with ball security,
- 33:27Speaker 1: but you know he gets a little flimsy with it
- 33:29Speaker 1: sometimes and that's what team's key on him. Have film
- 33:32Speaker 1: on him. You know, four is getting to get that
- 33:35Speaker 1: ball because it's going to be out and about. So
- 33:37Speaker 1: ball security's got to start with one seven. Preach it
- 33:39Speaker 1: to these running backs, Preach it to your receivers. It's
- 33:41Speaker 1: got to be a team culture thing.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it's got to be an offensive focus for sure.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Now as we transition before we get to one seven
- 33:48Speaker 2: to end the show, we've got to talk about DT's
- 33:51Speaker 2: favorite group to talk shit about, which I have no
- 33:53Speaker 2: idea why, because these guys really were remarkably consistent last
- 33:58Speaker 2: year and healthy and really that was really one of
- 34:00Speaker 2: the weirdest things. I think Dion Dolphins missed one play
- 34:04Speaker 2: when he cut his hand, and literally the entire offensive
- 34:07Speaker 2: line was healthy the entire season, all played together, which
- 34:11Speaker 2: is just unheard of. In today's NFL, really in any NFL,
- 34:14Speaker 2: the offensive lineman and those defensive linemen are the guys
- 34:16Speaker 2: to go out first because of the fact that they're like,
- 34:18Speaker 2: like you always say, DT, a car crashed every single play.
- 34:21Speaker 2: So as we transition to this offensive line, the one
- 34:24Speaker 2: major change is really the only major change. Four out
- 34:27Speaker 2: of five starters will return for the Bill's offensive line
- 34:29Speaker 2: from left to right. Mitch Morris again, we talked about that.
- 34:32Speaker 2: When he leaves and he goes down to Jacksonville on
- 34:34Speaker 2: that Red Tuesday or whatever day it was when Brandon
- 34:37Speaker 2: being fired, everybody, Connor McGovern slides over from left guard
- 34:42Speaker 2: to center DT, a job that he hasn't done since
- 34:45Speaker 2: his Penn State days. He even really get an opportunity
- 34:47Speaker 2: to do it in Dallas. I've heard some stuff out
- 34:50Speaker 2: of camp talking about, you know, you know how Josh
- 34:53Speaker 2: likes it. I guess he likes it, you know, snapped
- 34:54Speaker 2: almost to his left hand and then he can can
- 34:56Speaker 2: you know, get his laces right and go and let
- 34:58Speaker 2: that thing sling. He was they were having some some
- 35:01Speaker 2: back and forth and having some trouble with some bad
- 35:03Speaker 2: snaps and low snaps, different things like that. Obviously, everybody's
- 35:05Speaker 2: hoping that they get that under control. But I think
- 35:08Speaker 2: that that's one of the biggest things really when you
- 35:10Speaker 2: talk about the offensive line, because other than that, the
- 35:13Speaker 2: continuity is there. Aaron Kromer coming back with his scheme again,
- 35:17Speaker 2: obvious they're gonna have to meld that with whatever Joe
- 35:18Speaker 2: Brady is looking to do. But you know, Aaron Kromer,
- 35:21Speaker 2: his second stint here, he's proved that he's a great
- 35:23Speaker 2: offensive line coach. He knows how to coach those guys up.
- 35:26Speaker 2: And now it's a situation where you're only changing out
- 35:28Speaker 2: one guy at left guard and then everybody else is
- 35:31Speaker 2: staying the same. You really would like to see that
- 35:33Speaker 2: kind of same type of production, that same type of consistency. Again,
- 35:37Speaker 2: the health thing we knock on wood. No team ever
- 35:39Speaker 2: really just has all five starters play every single snap.
- 35:43Speaker 2: But that's how it was for the Bills last year. DT.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Yeah, we're probably in the probability says we're not going
- 35:48Speaker 1: to have that again, right, So, but our depth, I
- 35:51Speaker 1: like our depth kind.
- 35:52Speaker 2: All the way around, very good.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Invested in it, We drafted in it, we got free
- 35:55Speaker 1: agents in it. There's you know, in all five spots
- 35:59Speaker 1: I think, you know, with McGovern, we'll figure that out.
- 36:02Speaker 1: With Josh. That's just gonna take reps comfortability, and that's
- 36:05Speaker 1: what that's that's what they're doing right now. That's what
- 36:08Speaker 1: they're probably taking hundreds of after practice to get right
- 36:12Speaker 1: so they don't have those you know, situations happening. And
- 36:15Speaker 1: when it comes to real game time, McGovern it's his
- 36:20Speaker 1: natural position played at Penn State, you know, so it's
- 36:22Speaker 1: not like he's never done it before. And I think
- 36:24Speaker 1: if it was a big issue, they'd be signing a
- 36:26Speaker 1: vet to come in, you know, during camp, you know,
- 36:29Speaker 1: if it was an issue. I know they have severate
- 36:31Speaker 1: vampere granger from Georgia. He's not even running with the ones,
- 36:35Speaker 1: you know, so or the two's excuse me. So if
- 36:38Speaker 1: it was, you know, a real concern with the team,
- 36:41Speaker 1: somebody would be in there competing for that job. I
- 36:43Speaker 1: think it's just something that he's got. It just comfortability,
- 36:46Speaker 1: getting used to Josh, getting used to where he wants it.
- 36:48Speaker 1: The line as a whole, I am critical of them
- 36:51Speaker 1: because their job is so black and white, right Rob,
- 36:53Speaker 1: If you protect the merchandise or you don't you protect
- 36:56Speaker 1: the merchandise, or you don't you seventeen upright, or you
- 36:59Speaker 1: don't it's a it's a bitch, and people are in
- 37:01Speaker 1: his face all day and we can't get a good
- 37:03Speaker 1: flowing offense because of it. Or he's up, he's clean
- 37:06Speaker 1: and he's throwing darts and killing the defense and losing
- 37:08Speaker 1: them aroule on the defensive side because we're picking them
- 37:11Speaker 1: apart all day. So the offensive line had their best
- 37:14Speaker 1: year together last year. Healthy is part of that, as
- 37:16Speaker 1: you mentioned. Going into this year, I challenge them to
- 37:20Speaker 1: don't make don't have to other people have to be
- 37:24Speaker 1: good for you to be good, be good so others
- 37:26Speaker 1: can be good. It's your kind of turned down the
- 37:28Speaker 1: steps in the role of the leader of this offense.
- 37:31Speaker 1: The offensive line was looked good last year and was
- 37:35Speaker 1: good last year because once we've gotten that run scheme
- 37:38Speaker 1: later and we're able to move the ball, the defenses
- 37:40Speaker 1: were kind of all over the place and it wasn't
- 37:42Speaker 1: like a firm hand in the ground pass rush at
- 37:45Speaker 1: us every play like you can get. Once you get
- 37:48Speaker 1: cut a couple of times, the defense gets back on
- 37:49Speaker 1: their heels and it makes the offensive lines drab a
- 37:52Speaker 1: lot easier, you know, So if they come out and
- 37:54Speaker 1: set that. We always talked about tempo and setting the
- 37:56Speaker 1: trench tempo and everything like that, but this is a year.
- 37:59Speaker 1: You had a confident building here last year. Go in
- 38:02Speaker 1: and start taking games over right out of the gate.
- 38:05Speaker 1: You know, we come down, we're scoring on our first
- 38:07Speaker 1: couple of series because you're keeping Josh completely upright. And
- 38:09Speaker 1: if he stays upright and doesn't have to whip around,
- 38:11Speaker 1: he's gonna find the open die. It's just inevitable. So
- 38:14Speaker 1: I challenged him this year to kind of take that step,
- 38:16Speaker 1: like you were good last year because the Josh kind
- 38:19Speaker 1: of helped you out and made you look good a
- 38:21Speaker 1: little bit. Now make him look good and stut the
- 38:23Speaker 1: tempo and come out in the beginning and put the
- 38:26Speaker 1: defense back on your ears or stuff. Don't let Josh
- 38:29Speaker 1: have to do it, you know, to burn them.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny that you said that to end it,
- 38:33Speaker 2: because you know, like offensive line is one of the
- 38:36Speaker 2: you know, the most thankless jobs on you know, in
- 38:38Speaker 2: an NFL locker room, won the NFL field. And it's
- 38:40Speaker 2: funny because you never noticed that they're fucking up until
- 38:43Speaker 2: you know, until they're fucking up, until your quarterbacks on
- 38:45Speaker 2: his back or like we saw the season come down
- 38:48Speaker 2: to that pass, the shakier you know, against Kansas City.
- 38:51Speaker 2: We were right there in the stadium watching it, and
- 38:53Speaker 2: it's like, you know, he gets rocked back Deon Dawkins,
- 38:56Speaker 2: who had his best year as a pro last year.
- 38:58Speaker 2: I thought he was an All Pro last year. So
- 39:00Speaker 2: it's it's funny how you know, you get the praise,
- 39:02Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, it's it's almost a
- 39:04Speaker 2: thankless job because nobody really is talking about the offensive
- 39:06Speaker 2: line until they're not they're not doing their job. So
- 39:09Speaker 2: it's interesting that you ended it that way, because yeah,
- 39:11Speaker 2: you're absolutely right. I mean, if they mess up, you
- 39:14Speaker 2: know everybody, everybody's gonna notice. So again, they had a
- 39:17Speaker 2: great year. Dion Dawkins for sure had his best year
- 39:19Speaker 2: as a pro in my opinion. Again, what a wonderful
- 39:23Speaker 2: you know. Just so it was just awesome to see Cybo.
- 39:25Speaker 2: I mean, like I've never seen a rookie come in
- 39:27Speaker 2: and just fit right in from literally from training camp
- 39:30Speaker 2: all the way throughout the season. Didn't miss a snap
- 39:32Speaker 2: and it was completely healthy and even Spencer Brown on
- 39:34Speaker 2: the right side DT even played some good football. After
- 39:37Speaker 2: people were wondered about his back and wondered about if
- 39:40Speaker 2: he was going to be able to bounce back and
- 39:41Speaker 2: become the guy that the Bills drafted him to be
- 39:43Speaker 2: with all that potential coming out of a small school.
- 39:45Speaker 2: He even played really well last year, so it was
- 39:47Speaker 2: all around good. I would like to make sure that
- 39:49Speaker 2: McGovern McGovern knows what he's doing. I know that you
- 39:52Speaker 2: said he played it in college. It's been a long time
- 39:54Speaker 2: since he's done it, so I just don't want any
- 39:56Speaker 2: snaps in the dirt and stuff like that. That's I think.
- 39:59Speaker 2: I think it's critical.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Josh is playing Saturday. I think it's a big part
- 40:02Speaker 1: why Josh is playing Saturday. I said that earlier in
- 40:05Speaker 1: this week. Josh playing Saturday is a big part to
- 40:09Speaker 1: do with McGovern getting game reps for Josh behind him.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. If you didn't hear it, Sean McDermott
- 40:15Speaker 2: today did in his press conference talk about the fact
- 40:18Speaker 2: that the Bills starters will play, so Josh Allen will
- 40:20Speaker 2: be out there. I think, what do you say, DT
- 40:22Speaker 2: about a quarter or so something like that, give or take.
- 40:25Speaker 2: So Saturday night, Saturday, excuse me, afternoon one o'clock at
- 40:29Speaker 2: the Ralph Bills against the Bears. The Bears will come
- 40:33Speaker 2: to town. And it's funny because I just watched the
- 40:35Speaker 2: first Hard Knock episode last night about the Bears, and
- 40:39Speaker 2: then I'm sure that the next one next Tuesday will
- 40:41Speaker 2: have all the stuff with Buffalo in it. But they've
- 40:43Speaker 2: got their new shiny toy in Caleb Williams as the
- 40:45Speaker 2: number one quarterback. He'll make his NFL debut here at
- 40:48Speaker 2: the Ralph on Saturday DT. We have our own shiny toy,
- 40:52Speaker 2: and as we wrap up tonight's episode, it's funny because
- 40:56Speaker 2: we have talked about everything around Josh Allen. We've talked
- 40:59Speaker 2: about out you know, fourteen at Nausea, and we talked
- 41:02Speaker 2: about the trade. We talked about you know, everybody eats
- 41:05Speaker 2: and and different things like that, and we've argued and
- 41:07Speaker 2: gone back and forth. And it's funny that it's all
- 41:09Speaker 2: coming into a head because it's something that you had
- 41:12Speaker 2: actually picked up on. And I give you credit. It's
- 41:14Speaker 2: been since like last year. You've been talking about the
- 41:17Speaker 2: fact that you wanted to see seventeen assume a different role.
- 41:21Speaker 2: You wanted to see him take on a different role,
- 41:24Speaker 2: and I'd be damned if I didn't find that article
- 41:28Speaker 2: that Terry Ogula himself excuse me, had been asking Josh
- 41:34Speaker 2: Allen and telling listen, telling Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott.
- 41:38Speaker 2: To make sure that you are imparting on Josh Allen.
- 41:42Speaker 2: You know that he wants he wants to take more
- 41:44Speaker 2: of an executive approach, and I know that Tim Graham
- 41:45Speaker 2: had to go on Twitter and kind of clean up
- 41:47Speaker 2: what he said to make sure that everybody understood that
- 41:49Speaker 2: he wasn't calling out Josh Allen or anything like that,
- 41:52Speaker 2: but it was more of the fact that he wants
- 41:53Speaker 2: to see him separate himself, not be one of the guys,
- 41:57Speaker 2: but be the guy, Like don't yeah you love Dawson.
- 42:01Speaker 2: I said, yeah, you guys play cards, and yeah, everybody
- 42:03Speaker 2: hangs out and yeah, everybody goes to dinner and we
- 42:05Speaker 2: love all that type of stuff. And we love that
- 42:06Speaker 2: about you, Josh, but we also want you to be
- 42:09Speaker 2: above them, not in a negative connotation. And I think
- 42:11Speaker 2: that's why Tim Graham had to go on Twitter and
- 42:13Speaker 2: kind of clean it up because it's not in a
- 42:15Speaker 2: negative People took it as a negative connotation like he's
- 42:17Speaker 2: better than everybody else, but it is like he's better
- 42:20Speaker 2: it's it's just a different he's it's like working with
- 42:23Speaker 2: your manager that you're close with. You guys were close
- 42:25Speaker 2: together when you guys were in the same position. He
- 42:27Speaker 2: gets promoted the manager. You got to act like a manager.
- 42:29Speaker 2: You can't just be the buddy buddy the entire time.
- 42:32Speaker 2: You've got to be more executive. And I think that
- 42:34Speaker 2: that's what Terry mcgola is literally calling for. So I'll
- 42:37Speaker 2: give you props. DT. You called this shit like last year,
- 42:40Speaker 2: so I'll give you props on that. Man.
- 42:42Speaker 1: I believe Josh Allen will go down as one of
- 42:44Speaker 1: the greatest quarterbacks of all time. I think you're with
- 42:47Speaker 1: me there on that route. You look back in the
- 42:50Speaker 1: past of all the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and
- 42:53Speaker 1: they all have that similar trait, that similar attribute. They
- 42:56Speaker 1: are the alpha. They are everything that franchise is. They
- 43:00Speaker 1: are the lead dog. That doesn't say they can't get
- 43:02Speaker 1: along with their teammates. But like you said, the pecking
- 43:05Speaker 1: order is clear. One seven is the top. Everything else
- 43:08Speaker 1: is under and and that is you know everything everyone
- 43:12Speaker 1: agrees with it. That's the way it is. This year
- 43:15Speaker 1: coming in he you know, we kind of give the
- 43:17Speaker 1: opportunity all right, you're not a kid anymore. One seven,
- 43:20Speaker 1: you're not a kid anymore. We know you're an athletic
- 43:22Speaker 1: freak and you can make all these plays and you're
- 43:23Speaker 1: poised and this and that, but this is your team,
- 43:26Speaker 1: this is your control. And what we talked about earlier
- 43:29Speaker 1: with Joe Brady kind of having a nice scrutch to
- 43:31Speaker 1: lean on. It's Josh Allen as the quarterback coming in
- 43:34Speaker 1: and kind of running his own deal. Whatever he says,
- 43:37Speaker 1: goes type thing, and you know there's gonna be a
- 43:40Speaker 1: learning curve for him with that. You know he's gonna
- 43:42Speaker 1: walk down the hall way he then he shouldn't have
- 43:44Speaker 1: went down He's gonna, but then he's also gonna walk
- 43:46Speaker 1: down the right hallways, you know, I think more than not.
- 43:48Speaker 1: And that's what we have to lean on going in
- 43:51Speaker 1: with the opportunity to everybody needs mentality or picking somebody
- 43:55Speaker 1: you know who's gonna give you that juice, giving them confidence,
- 43:58Speaker 1: Throwing it to one guy to get going because you
- 44:00Speaker 1: know he's he's gonna block for you better if he
- 44:02Speaker 1: gets a catch. And knowing these things about your you know,
- 44:06Speaker 1: your your team and your offense, and that's what the
- 44:08Speaker 1: leaders and the Helphitts do. And that's what Tom Brady
- 44:10Speaker 1: bait Man, what Patrick Mahomes does, you know. So that's
- 44:14Speaker 1: what we have to get into and and and hang
- 44:16Speaker 1: our head on. And the opportunity is there. As we said,
- 44:19Speaker 1: everyone has.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Call and sometimes calling guys out, you know, like it.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Sometimes exactly that's kind of what you know. But if
- 44:28Speaker 1: you're not up to expectation, you need to hear about it.
- 44:31Speaker 1: And and because it is, the the margin of error
- 44:34Speaker 1: is so slim anyway, and now it's more slim than
- 44:38Speaker 1: ever because there there's all those spots to fill in.
- 44:40Speaker 1: But again we keep calling back to glass half fole, opportunity, opportunity,
- 44:44Speaker 1: rob opportunity for Josh Allen to be that, And so
- 44:47Speaker 1: far it sounds like he is kind of me and
- 44:48Speaker 1: that they're saying one of the best, his best camps ever.
- 44:50Speaker 1: They probably say that everything right, I'm not, I'm not,
- 44:53Speaker 1: you know.
- 44:53Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 44:54Speaker 1: But the fact that he embraces it comes out. It's
- 44:57Speaker 1: not getting stale, it's not getting bored. He's not turned
- 45:00Speaker 1: into the Philip Rivers of the world, you know, the
- 45:03Speaker 1: the always going to be okay but never gonna get
- 45:05Speaker 1: over the hull type of type of vibs. You got
- 45:07Speaker 1: to be the outplay, you got to put it in
- 45:09Speaker 1: and yeah, it's getting in somebody's assess it's got to
- 45:12Speaker 1: be and I think he has the comfort to do that.
- 45:14Speaker 1: That was the biggest thing with Diggs. Could he yell
- 45:15Speaker 1: at him? Could he not?
- 45:16Speaker 2: Who knows?
- 45:17Speaker 1: Right? So now there's no question there's not anybody on
- 45:21Speaker 1: this team that can give one seven attitude for for
- 45:23Speaker 1: getting their askering out of practice.
- 45:25Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. I mean and sometimes I wonder,
- 45:29Speaker 2: you know, I think back to Obama Monday, and I'm wondering, like,
- 45:31Speaker 2: is that is that is in his DNA? Is he?
- 45:33Speaker 2: Is he not? You know, confrontational that type of thing
- 45:35Speaker 2: is Are we asking him to be somebody that he's not?
- 45:38Speaker 2: That type of thing? But I think that when it
- 45:40Speaker 2: comes with quarterback, there's just a different level of responsibility
- 45:44Speaker 2: that comes with that position. It's just different. There's really
- 45:46Speaker 2: no way around it. So I understood what what what
- 45:49Speaker 2: Goola was looking for. You know, I didn't need Tim
- 45:51Speaker 2: Grammer to clean it up, he goes. I understood exactly
- 45:53Speaker 2: what he was talking about was that it is cool
- 45:56Speaker 2: to be close and it is cool to have guys
- 45:58Speaker 2: over your house. Jim Kelly head guys had fucking parties.
- 46:01Speaker 2: I mean every every week he had a party in
- 46:02Speaker 2: his house, and that all the bills, you know, players
- 46:05Speaker 2: went to, especially on the offense. So I understand that
- 46:07Speaker 2: you could be one of the guys, but there has
- 46:09Speaker 2: to be a level of separation. There has to be
- 46:11Speaker 2: some type of line of delineation, like like, hey man,
- 46:15Speaker 2: he's up here, this is that's Josh fucking Allen, like
- 46:17Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And then and then it,
- 46:19Speaker 2: like you just said, everything kind of flows down from there,
- 46:21Speaker 2: and I need him to embrace it, even if it
- 46:23Speaker 2: may be uncomfortable for him to do, because this is
- 46:26Speaker 2: really his show. This is one of the biggest things
- 46:28Speaker 2: that we'll talk about, and we are going to get
- 46:30Speaker 2: ready to have an episode about Josh now that we're
- 46:32Speaker 2: getting ready to wrap up and head into the regular season.
- 46:35Speaker 2: But one of the biggest things that I'm looking for
- 46:37Speaker 2: him maturity wise is just I not it's not just
- 46:40Speaker 2: necessarily yelling at guys. That I understand, and you know,
- 46:44Speaker 2: everybody talks about Peyton, Manning and Brady and getting people's asses.
- 46:47Speaker 2: I understand how that works. But more like correcting things
- 46:50Speaker 2: to get them perfect, like be a perfection you know, seeker,
- 46:54Speaker 2: and I know that there's not going to be a
- 46:55Speaker 2: perfect game. I understand, you know. Perfection in the park
- 46:58Speaker 2: was the closest thing we'll ever have to it for
- 47:00Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia. But but you should always be trying to
- 47:02Speaker 2: obtain it. So it's not necessarily yelling at guys. But
- 47:05Speaker 2: it might be just hey, man, you ran this route
- 47:07Speaker 2: and you did a seven yard stem. I need you,
- 47:10Speaker 2: you know what I mean, to get to five yards
- 47:11Speaker 2: or I need you to get to this depth. You
- 47:13Speaker 2: know what I mean? And shake or did? The case
- 47:14Speaker 2: may be like pointing out things that he needs. You know,
- 47:17Speaker 2: what do they say about Rogers is that he's maniacal
- 47:19Speaker 2: out there a Jets camp about getting things right, and
- 47:21Speaker 2: he'll get in Garrett Wilson's ass or get anybody's ass.
- 47:24Speaker 2: That's that's messing up in practice because he wants it
- 47:26Speaker 2: to be perfect and he knows that his time is
- 47:28Speaker 2: running out. I don't know if Josh feels like his
- 47:30Speaker 2: time is running out, but I do want him to
- 47:33Speaker 2: kind of assume that role dt of just listen, man,
- 47:35Speaker 2: I need it to be as close to perfect that
- 47:38Speaker 2: you can make it and and and demand it. And
- 47:41Speaker 2: that's my only thing is is Josh Okay demanding that
- 47:43Speaker 2: type of thing? Is that his personality? And I guess,
- 47:45Speaker 2: Mama money, he'll be able to tell us better. But
- 47:46Speaker 2: I don't know if he's comfortable doing it. But he's
- 47:49Speaker 2: got it. He's just got to do it. He does.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Practice doesn't make perfect rob perfect. Practice makes perfect right.
- 47:56Speaker 1: And so that's that's what it's got to get to.
- 47:58Speaker 1: It's got to be the leadership roll of no mistakes,
- 48:01Speaker 1: like no mistakes. It's we can't do it. We keep
- 48:04Speaker 1: going back to this. We're there, We're in the game
- 48:07Speaker 1: against the best team with chances to win, and the
- 48:09Speaker 1: difference is a mistake here, a mistake there, a hitch year,
- 48:12Speaker 1: an inch there. We can't have it. It's the NFL,
- 48:15Speaker 1: it's the big leagues. It don't get bigger, rob, It's
- 48:17Speaker 1: what we pay thousands every year. It doesn't get bigger
- 48:22Speaker 1: than this. It doesn't get bigger than this. So the
- 48:25Speaker 1: details have to be you know, touched on, and as
- 48:27Speaker 1: the alpha and the leader of the team, you have
- 48:29Speaker 1: to do that. Again, this isn't a knock at stuff
- 48:33Speaker 1: on things by any means. Or you know, anything like that.
- 48:36Speaker 1: But the fact of like that was a question, you know,
- 48:39Speaker 1: going into who was doing that until now now we
- 48:43Speaker 1: know who's doing it, and we'll know we talk about answers,
- 48:46Speaker 1: black and white answers here will know if he's not
- 48:49Speaker 1: doing it, you know, we'll know if Dalton Kinka isn't
- 48:51Speaker 1: stepping up to the hike. We'll know if James Cook
- 48:53Speaker 1: still has a fumbling problem. We'll know if we need
- 48:56Speaker 1: a number one receiver. We'll know if Josh Allen isn't
- 48:58Speaker 1: stepping into the alpha role.
- 49:00Speaker 2: You know.
- 49:00Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be a lot of a lot
- 49:02Speaker 1: of no shield no high places.
- 49:04Speaker 2: Yeah, no way to high.
- 49:07Speaker 1: At the very least, we'll see success or we'll have
- 49:09Speaker 1: answers of how to get success.
- 49:11Speaker 2: Absolutely, I agree with you on that one. As we
- 49:13Speaker 2: wrap up tonight, you know, it's it's interesting because you
- 49:16Speaker 2: know the offense. I'm I'm you know, I'm I'm just
- 49:19Speaker 2: I'm patiently waiting and I'm going to be watching obviously
- 49:22Speaker 2: like everybody else, and I'm just I'm nervous about some
- 49:25Speaker 2: of the decisions that they made. I know that Jay
- 49:27Speaker 2: Spence earlier in the show had talked about you know
- 49:29Speaker 2: how he's very excited about the offense. He's very excited
- 49:32Speaker 2: about what's to come. And I have to leave room
- 49:35Speaker 2: for that because I don't know what's going to happen.
- 49:37Speaker 2: So otherwise I'd played the lotto last week and I'd be,
- 49:39Speaker 2: you know, to being a millionaire. Like, I don't know
- 49:40Speaker 2: what the future, so I don't know what's going to happen. However,
- 49:44Speaker 2: I'm watching with just a close eye. You know, we
- 49:47Speaker 2: talked about the defense last week. Unlike Jay Spence, we
- 49:50Speaker 2: are not really too concerned about the defense. As long
- 49:52Speaker 2: as everybody can stay healthy. We think that Scheau mcgdermam
- 49:55Speaker 2: will be able to do his thing, and obviously Bobby
- 49:57Speaker 2: Babbage will take his first crack at call and plays.
- 49:59Speaker 2: But outside of it that, like I mean, Josh Allen
- 50:02Speaker 2: seems to be the one thing that holds everything together.
- 50:06Speaker 2: He is the glue and I understand that. So because
- 50:08Speaker 2: of that, they've kind of pushed in all their chips
- 50:11Speaker 2: on this whole moniker of he is going to elevate.
- 50:14Speaker 2: He's going to be the elevator. We talked about that.
- 50:16Speaker 2: Oh you know, I remember us being on the k
- 50:18Speaker 2: Gun report. They're talking about the elevator, like, listen, that's fine,
- 50:22Speaker 2: it sounds great, and I would just love to see it,
- 50:25Speaker 2: you know, come to pass and come to fruition because
- 50:26Speaker 2: of the fact that it's it's sometimes it's tough. Even
- 50:29Speaker 2: the best guys need their weapons, even the best guys need,
- 50:32Speaker 2: you know, their security blankets and stuff like that. Now
- 50:34Speaker 2: you've already talked about it. Jay Spence talked about Dalton
- 50:37Speaker 2: k Gade. He'll probably be some of that. You guys
- 50:40Speaker 2: have also talked about the fact that somebody's going to
- 50:42Speaker 2: step into that role. So I understand where everybody's coming
- 50:44Speaker 2: from them that I just want. I want it to
- 50:46Speaker 2: be a situation where the offense is not struggling. What
- 50:49Speaker 2: was it like last year watching Dorsey? Everything was was
- 50:52Speaker 2: hard and we talked about layup lines and we talked
- 50:54Speaker 2: about all those different things, and I'm lamenting and wishing
- 50:57Speaker 2: for Dable to come back like all the I don't
- 50:58Speaker 2: want that. So that's why I started the show the
- 51:01Speaker 2: way that I did, because I don't know Joe Brady
- 51:02Speaker 2: and I and I and I'm still wondering. So I'm
- 51:04Speaker 2: going to be watching really really closely because of the
- 51:07Speaker 2: fact that this is his show. It's obviously Josh Allen
- 51:10Speaker 2: driving the car, but Joe Brady can do a lot
- 51:12Speaker 2: to help out Josh Allen. And that's what the offensive
- 51:14Speaker 2: coordinator is supposed to do. Tt They are supposed to
- 51:17Speaker 2: draw up things, you know, that make things easier for
- 51:19Speaker 2: the quarterback, those layups, those those plays and those designs.
- 51:22Speaker 2: What makes Mike McDaniel so good down there in Miami
- 51:25Speaker 2: is that he is a wizard with these play calls.
- 51:27Speaker 2: What makes Andy Reid so good. He makes Patrick Mahomes
- 51:30Speaker 2: his life easier, even though Patrick Mahomes doesn't need it
- 51:32Speaker 2: easier life, but he makes it easier with some of
- 51:34Speaker 2: his schemes. So if we've got a great offensive coordinator
- 51:37Speaker 2: that can make life easier for Josh, I think it
- 51:39Speaker 2: goes a long way. As we conclude tonight, I think
- 51:41Speaker 2: it goes a long way.
- 51:43Speaker 1: Yeah, my final thoughts here, I mean tonight, we've come
- 51:47Speaker 1: up with a lot of solutions. If you will right,
- 51:51Speaker 1: you're in a way we're kind of presenting a problem
- 51:54Speaker 1: of right, the offense has lost a lot of key players.
- 51:57Speaker 1: What's the answer to it? And we've come up with
- 51:59Speaker 1: some solutions, right or wrong. We've come up with solutions tonight.
- 52:02Speaker 1: You know, whether it be Joe Brady kind of getting
- 52:05Speaker 1: into the mode of his first season with a good quarterback,
- 52:08Speaker 1: whether it's Josh Allen taking over the alpha role, whether
- 52:11Speaker 1: it's you know, Kincaid stepping up for Curtis Samuel getting
- 52:13Speaker 1: more touches, and James Cook living up to a top
- 52:16Speaker 1: running back in the league. The line kind of taking
- 52:18Speaker 1: that step of being dominant, you know, having another strong year.
- 52:21Speaker 1: So we've come up with all these solutions, and you
- 52:23Speaker 1: know what, we haven't said the word Keon Coleman, Rob.
- 52:26Speaker 1: So this is a this is a very positive point.
- 52:29Speaker 1: This is the point in my eyes, because we are
- 52:32Speaker 1: we are through solution you know, five, six, seven, and
- 52:35Speaker 1: eight before we're even talking about what we hope to
- 52:38Speaker 1: be a superstar wide receiver for us in the future
- 52:41Speaker 1: of this franchise. Keon Coleman.
- 52:43Speaker 2: So we talked about there's too.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Much pressure on one person, there's too much pressure on
- 52:48Speaker 1: this but we're we're down to the superstar guy, that's
- 52:51Speaker 1: the rookie, and we haven't put any pressure on him
- 52:53Speaker 1: in this episode, right and come up with a lot
- 52:54Speaker 1: of solutions of how this offense can be successful. You know,
- 52:58Speaker 1: even if he is kind of just middle of the
- 52:59Speaker 1: row rookie, we can still be successful with it. So
- 53:02Speaker 1: I think that's a very positive point with you know,
- 53:05Speaker 1: gr and everything else is all they talked about is
- 53:08Speaker 1: ke On Coleman. We didn't get there our show and
- 53:12Speaker 1: a ton of solutions for with how this offense can
- 53:15Speaker 1: still be good. So that gives me confidence.
- 53:17Speaker 2: Wrong, Oh yeah, that's interesting. That's a good point, you
- 53:20Speaker 2: know what I mean. I didn't even think of it
- 53:21Speaker 2: that way because I don't want to put too much pressure.
- 53:23Speaker 2: It's funny. I listened literally listened to Jereby White this
- 53:26Speaker 2: morning on g I. He was like, I don't I'm
- 53:28Speaker 2: not expecting too much from Keon Coleman because it's hard
- 53:31Speaker 2: for rookie receivers and stuff like that. So I'm the
- 53:33Speaker 2: same way. I don't want to put more on his
- 53:35Speaker 2: plate right now. I just want him to get the
- 53:37Speaker 2: plays down, get the offense down, get that chemistry with
- 53:39Speaker 2: Josh Allen. You're absolutely right, that's that's a good point.
- 53:42Speaker 2: You know, there are ways for it to work, and
- 53:45Speaker 2: I'm not and I'm definitely not trying to be a
- 53:47Speaker 2: Wie downer saying that. It's you know, like I said,
- 53:48Speaker 2: I don't know the future, so I would never say
- 53:50Speaker 2: that it's not going to work. I just know that
- 53:53Speaker 2: it's going to It's going to take everybody raising their level.
- 53:55Speaker 2: And I think that that's the best way to summarize
- 53:57Speaker 2: it as we close tonight, is that everybody's got to
- 53:59Speaker 2: step up. Now, everybody's got to do a little bit more.
- 54:02Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna have a little bit more on their plate.
- 54:04Speaker 2: If you got your fork, everybody eats. So I I'm okay, okay,
- 54:08Speaker 2: by the end of this. It took an entires show,
- 54:10Speaker 2: but okay, I'll sit back. I have my plate, I'm
- 54:14Speaker 2: at the buffet, and I'll just figure out what I
- 54:16Speaker 2: want and I'll put it on my plate. If I
- 54:17Speaker 2: don't like it, it's okay, because that's how that's what
- 54:20Speaker 2: makes Buffey's great. I can just put the plate to
- 54:23Speaker 2: the side and go get another one to try again.
- 54:24Speaker 2: So that's nice.
- 54:27Speaker 1: With the Nickel City crew, everybody.
- 54:30Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. I love it. Listen.
