1:23
excited for tonight's episode. It's been one that I've been thinking about um for
1:27
a little bit over a week now, and it was a situation where I
1:30
just had to get some things off of my bills Mafia chest, and I
1:34
am so delighted to do so because when I get fired up about a topic
1:40
and kind of a little bit invested emotionally, I think that that's when some
1:45
of the some of the best content comes out. So again, the original
1:49
impetus of the show was to get my bills thoughts set out loud, joining
1:53
me as always, my co host, Hollidad, the crew, Adam dump

2:23
let's go. Pants got to clack, it start to click and the clacking,
2:29
Man, I can't wait. Man. We are inching towards training camp
2:31
and uh OTAs are upon us and just some different things that come to the
2:38
table um that kind of just it just I don't know, man, it
2:40
just didn't sit right with me DT. So it was something that I wanted,
2:44
uh to get off my chest. I am so happy tonight. As
2:46
always, we give respect. We're honor and respects. Do shout out to
2:51
Jay Spence, the King over at Buffalo Rumblings. He hooked me up with
2:54
this young man and as always, I mean, I'm just so grateful.
2:59
I'm on him joining us once again. Justice, General Radford at JA seventeen
3:05
MVP on Twitter, what's what's good? Buffalo fan bases in the building?
3:08
We simulcast on Buffalo fan base on our weekly broadcast DT and it literally is
3:15
on a row paid by General Man. Justice. What's the salute? Salute?
3:20
General? What's up? Man? I let the man thank you,
3:23
thank you so much for having me. Man. First of all, I've
3:25
been meaning to tell you this. When you have one of the greatest intros
3:30
ever. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes yes, and love a
3:34
voice man when it comes Bryan, you man, we love. Shout out
3:38

3:43

3:46
him know. Hey, Man, the schedule came out. He promised us
3:49
that he would come to h to a game next year, So we want
3:51
to invite him out for the Vegas game for the home opener because that's kind
3:54
of like a holiday for us, So I really appreciate you saying that.
3:58
Man, we love that song and yeah, man, I mean, oh,
4:00
the intro just always gets me started. Man, it gets me going.
4:02
Yeah, I'm gonna make a video for that. Yeah. I think
4:06
about the video maybe twice a day, I don't know, maybe maybe once
4:10
a day on a bad day. So I think about all the different lyrics
4:14
in the ways that we can we can kind of cut that. Listen,
4:16
Man, Fellas, I'm really happy that you guys joined me tonight because all
4:20
jokes society, it was really something that was on my Bills Mafia spirit guys.
4:26
Um, there's been a little bit of disrespect going around and I wanted
4:30
to kind of nip it in the bud. I thought that I did last
4:32
season DT, and I guess it's not It hasn't been drilled home enough.
4:38
I know that the Cincinnati game was it was a real stinger from Buffalo Bills
4:42
fans for Bills Mafia, Nickel City Crew. It was a situation where,
4:46
you know, we felt like there was a lot left on the table that
4:48
we didn't accomplish. Now, Stefan Diggs Fellas has kind of come under a
4:53
little bit of scrutiny, and what I mean by that is I've heard content
4:57
creators and hosts on w GR comment on the fact that he has not been
5:01
at OTAs, even though I could have swore that OTAs were voluntary. I've
5:08
heard different guys talk about the fact that they need to hear from Stefan Diggs,
5:12
that they need to hear something from him after his kind of quote unquote
5:15
blow up on Josh Allen the sideline in the fourth quarter that we're going to
5:19
get into. Listen. It's a situation where I don't think that the Bills
5:25
Mafia quite grass Stefan Diggs. I kind of liken him too, fellas a
5:30
little bit of you know, Dennis Rodd, a little bit of Russell Westbrook
5:33
d Wade. He's he's fashion conscious, he's socially conscious. He kind of
5:38
moves to the beat of his own drum. You know, he's kind of
5:42
that I don't give a fuck type mentality. But as I was telling DT
5:46
pre show, the same things that we love about Stefan Diggs, the people
5:51
love to hate about him. The same type of tenacity and passion that he
5:55
brings to his craft are almost the same type of darts that people use against
6:00
him, and it was something where it was kind of rubbed me the wrong
6:02
way, and I wanted to know what you guys thought about it because I
6:05
was getting ready to play a clip from YouTube from a right round Super Bowl
6:10
time and it was just I've been hearing a lot of chatter about Stefan Diggs,
6:14
DT general, like, what do you feel about Stefan Dix, because
6:18
it seems to me that everybody is upset, or again, not everybody,
6:23
but there are a lot of Bill's mafia, a portion of the fan base
6:26
that are upset that he yelled at Josh Challen in the fourth quarter that since
6:30
eddy game. And I know, for me personally, me and DT we've
6:33
already talked about it before. I was frustrated as hell walking back to my
6:36
car after that game and that performance, so I could only imagine what it
6:41
was like to be a player. DT General, please speak to me a
6:45
little bit before I played this clip to give us a little bit insight of
6:47
what Stefan Dix was thinking about. What do you guys think about him?
6:50
Man? Like, he is very mercurial, he's very polar rising. Well,
6:55
it's a tough one to really gay driving in general, because it's the
6:59
fact of who really believes this, you know, like there's a lot of
7:02
talk about it, and I think the mainstream media is putting a lot of
7:06
effort into portraying this. I mean, after you know that loss, it
7:11
was, it was the clip that played on repeat on all these daily talk
7:14
shows on ESPN. It's what you know, gr and everybody talked about,
7:17
and that show up doesn't exactly it doesn't show up to OTAs and you know
7:25
it's the same thing. It's it's it's on repeat on all these shows,
7:28
and so I think it's what they're trying to to make us think and trying
7:31
to cause a little uproar. I don't know as the fact that there's a
7:34
lot of you know, if you really push came to shove, a lot
7:40
of the mafia really you know, doesn't like it. Um. I think
7:43
it's just something to talk about in the in the media's stuff and down our
7:46
throat. But it's still it's still not right. Well, you know,
7:47
one four is who he is, but he's as good as you know,
7:51
he's a world class as I said earlier, because of his tenacity, and
7:56
you know, we'll get into that a little tonight. But uh, that's
7:59
that's I may take from it. I hope at least the mafia isn't,
8:03
you know, as down on him as the media says. You dump truck
8:07
thinks it's fake General. I swear to you. I listen to WGR every
8:11
day. This is not fake man. I hear this type of rhetoric going
8:16
around. Why is he that OTA's general? Why isn't he this? Why
8:20
is he he that? What is he not? They talk a lot about
8:22
what Stefan Diggs is not, and I don't think they focus enough on the
8:26
fact that he is a two time captain voted by his peers. And I
8:31
don't know, man, I just I just feel a lot that there's something
8:35
murky going on in the water. I'm not really comfortable with it. Yeah,
8:39
So I'm gonna let you guys know now Bill's mafia has become a wee
8:46
bit spoiled. Okay, explain to us. Okay, So when you take
8:54
a team and you make them garbage all right for years? Okay, you
9:03
would think that the fan basement I have a little bit more of humility,
9:11
right Okay, Okay, Um, people are calling for Sean McDermott's job Okay,
9:22
I mean, Nicholas, we haven't yet, but he's on the clock.
9:26
He's on the listening. But become oil. Okay, okay. This
9:33
man changed the entire culture of our city. Okay. And because he can't
9:41
win in late January, we are calling for his job. He gets us
9:46
to late January. Okay, bro, gotta go, you gotta change everything.
9:54
Okay. Is I understand. I understand the impulse of that thought,
10:01
of that thought process, right, Brian, you suck in the playoffs?
10:05
You like you turned into a whole weird He has to learn and just like
10:16
I'm sure he wasn't the PERSONCT coach at first, you know, he has
10:20
to learn, right. But I say all this to say that, you
10:24
know, we we have one of the most unique circumstances in NFL history.
10:33
Okay, So we have a an alien right talked about something intermensional talked about
10:50
this. This guy is a legitimate, literal unicorn. He is not of
10:54
this planet. Okay, Okay, okay, he is our quarterback for years
11:00
to come. Okay, kids, naven twenty seven yet right, right?
11:05
And then we have maybe one of the best route runners that has ever stepped
11:11
foot on a football field. Yeah, Jerry Rice, Chris Carter. Yep,
11:16
he's right up. Ye, he's on there. Yeah, he's on
11:20
the shortlist yep. And and people are are like almost getting tired of it.
11:26
It's like, uh, you know, it's it's like it's like it's
11:31
like winners, uh fatigue. Right? Why why why Lebron James didn't get
11:37
the MVP every single year? Right? I didn't Kobe Bryant get the MVP
11:43
every single Right. It's it's kind of that thing, right, And then
11:46
when you look at it, I think that our team also has a very
11:50
cool dynamic. Did other teams don't have? Right? We what? What?
11:56
What? What's the point of the three branches in the in the uh,
12:01
you know, the executive the government to check some balances. Everybody checks
12:07
rob, Thank you so much? All right? What did Kanye West say?
12:13
No one man should have all that power? I mean, d I
12:20
mean it's interesting. I'm sorry. You. You have a quarterback who is
12:26
maybe the most talented quarterback that has ever played right, right, and and
12:31
when you when he's as good as he is, if you leave his ego
12:37
unchecked, it could become so you have a strong minded white receiver whose cash
12:46
is up there where You're like, yo, you gotta see me. I
12:50
ain't one of these you know what I mean. I'm me and you know
12:54
I me. And I hoped you become you you, but you you,
13:01
you gotta see me, right. So when I consider that, and and
13:05
it's like you look at Aaron Rodgers, right, Devontae Adams is there,
13:09
oh, sorry too, Like Aaron Rodgers is already and set in stone and
13:13
who he is right now, I'm one of the various quarterbacks ever and I'm
13:16
in the prime of my career. You're really good, but I mean you
13:20
you can't tell me anything. And that made DeVante Adams leave, right and
13:26
and and what's cool about Josh Allen is he he had incredible upside, but
13:31
he was also humble, right. So as he's grown, he's remained he's
13:37
retained that humility and being humble, but his his his ceiling has chattered.
13:45
Right, absolutely do whatever you want to do now, right, absolutely so.
13:48
So we have one of the most unique circumstances ever where we have too
13:52
phenomenally just talented players and they both can check each other, okay, And
14:01
I think that that's important though. I think that that's important. It's important
14:07
DT see, you know, when we go back to the scene of the
14:09
crime, you know, and one of the you know, some of the
14:11
rhetoric that I hear on this subject is okay, you look at that that
14:16
that mean that you're talking about on Twitter. And I looked at it today
14:18
just to kind of refresh my memory. And it was fourth quarter, seven
14:22
twenty five left, fourth and six, you know, and you know,
14:26
Stefan was open, like I watched the play and he was open, and
14:30
he and he yelled at Josh. He goes back to the sideline and his
14:33
arms are out DT. His arms are flanning. You can see the white
14:35
gloves in the snow, and his arms are extended. Why what I what
14:41
I have positive to Bill's Mafia, to nicol City crew would have tried to
14:45
explain to people is that this was a culmination of events. This was a
14:48
culmination of missed opportunities that led to this frustration. It was not just the
14:52
fourth and sixth play. It is the play in the first quarter when Josh
14:56
Allen missed him when they were down seven. Thing. It's you know,
15:00
it's earlier in the season. I can't wait to get ready to play this
15:03
this clip because the clip. I feel like it. You know, Stefan
15:07
Diggs DT has been leaving us breadcrumbs on what is bothering him, and what
15:13
bothers him is when they lose, and what bothers him is that he puts
15:18
in the hard work and that there's no fruit at the end of the tree.
15:20
And I think that he is He is such a dog. He is
15:24
so focused on his task and his and his operation, on how he makes
15:28
and goes about doing his job that I just think that he is just not
15:33
here for the bullshit. And I think it rubs some people the wrong way
15:35
DT, And that's Bills mafia, that's that's the media, that's whatever the
15:41
case may be. And I am not bothered by his tenacity, and I
15:45
think that that's what rubbed some people the wrong way. That's why I said,
15:46
Robin Russell Westbrook, He's kind of got that brash mentality, that outer
15:52
exterior where I don't give a fuck. But but you know one thing about
15:56
me, I want to win and everybody knows that. And when that's his
15:58
number one thing, winning is everything. And this a time where society has
16:04
gotten soft, We'll all be honest, Rob, you probably see him more
16:07
than anybody, even you with your kids growing up and and seeing every everybody's
16:11
soft and every participation trophies all the way around, and there there isn't none
16:15
of those in the NFL. And the same fans that are that are bitching
16:18
about Stefan Diggs getting pissed that we lose are the ones saying, oh,
16:22
well, it's not good enough. It like the general said, we're not
16:26
we're spoiled now. It's not good enough when we're when we're thirteen and four,
16:30
you know. But they're the same fans saying Stefan days can't be acting
16:34
like that either when he's not winning. The only reason that that is because
16:38
we're not winning. It's not like he's he's going out there weekend and week
16:41
out crying because he didn't have, you know, a great fantasy day.
16:45
He can give a shit about the stats. It's all about it's all about
16:48
winning and losing, and and that's what it is. Rob. I mean,
16:52
straight up, when if we need the checks and balances, we need
16:56
the dog on our team to hold people accountable that you know. I don't
17:00
want to get too off on a tangent here, but that's what seventeen is
17:03
gonna need to grow into to be a Hall of Fame quarterback. I don't
17:07
blame anything he's done thus far, but to take that next step, you're
17:11
gonna have to have that Stefan Digson you You're gonna have to be the one
17:14
out there yelling at your team on the sideline. You don't think Tom Brady's
17:18
ever tore into his team. You don't think Jim Kelly, Joe Montana,
17:22
Lay, Peyton Manning just you know, hold each other accountable. And Josh
17:27
is you know, instead of doing that, he just puts the cape on
17:32
and says, fuck it all right, they didn't run the route they were
17:33
supposed to. I'm gonna I'm gonna rip this right. So so on the
17:37
reverse end, Josh has to take that next step and get a little more
17:41
Stefan Diggs in him and be the one on his sideline somebody misses a route.
17:45
He's over there with his hands out looking at him. We don't know
17:47
what. You know what Stefan Diggs was saying to Josh Allen. It's we
17:51
don't know what they was saying back in the Browns game when they when the
17:53
game got moved and they were struggling in the first half, Stefan Dix wasn't
17:57
getting looks. He went over that famous you know where he's talking to McDermot
18:00
and Dermot's canstol on him on the side. What do they do the next
18:03
series? They come out and Josh Allen literally throws his arm off getting it
18:07
to him in the back of the end zone for the touchdown right before the
18:10
half. And that's they knew they needed to get fourteen going. We live
18:15
and breathe through fourteen right now with the energy, you know, and and
18:18
he brings it and so that's that's that's what it's. It's ridiculous that it's
18:23
gotten to this point because the people that will say, you know, he's
18:27
a diva, which just came kind of from his previous, from his past,
18:30
right, that's why he left Minnesota. So he comes here and and
18:34
and looks at people, right, it's like, oh, because he's a
18:37
diva, Oh because it's this and that. But he just wants to win.
18:41
So I'm so happy that you said diva though, I'm so happy that
18:44
you said diva. I'm so happy that you talked about Minnesota DT because that
18:48
leads into the clip. So this clip general, this clip DT is from
18:52
Super Bowl Weekum, and I'm so heavy you said that DT. We bore
18:56
the same wavelength. Now, the conversation you're about to listen to Nicole City
19:00
Crew starts about Justin Jefferson. So Dan Patrick is asking Stefan Diggs General about
19:08
Justin Jefferson. He's just coming off of the Offensive Player of the Year award.
19:14
I want you to focus because DT just hit on a specific point.
19:18
What was the rhetoric coming up about Stefan Diggs when he left Minnesota General?
19:23
It was malcontent, right, it was He's got problems in the locker room.
19:29
He doesn't get along with with coach Zimmer. He wants the ball more.
19:33
I don't know any good receiver worth his sault General that doesn't want the
19:37
ball. Listen to this, and listen to your captain, your two time
19:41
captain voted by his peers, not by Nickel City Crew, not by Bill's
19:45
Monfia Buffalo fan base, No by the people that go to work with him.
19:48
They voted him to captain these last two years. Listen to him.
19:52
Dan Patrick showed this is right around the Super Bowl, everybody is wondering and
19:56
waiting for Stefan Diggs to show up to excuse me too, mandatory mini camp
20:00
so that he can address something that he already talked about. Yeah, that's
20:03
your guy. Like all right, um, Justin Jefferson got Offensive Player of
20:08
the Year. Yeah, okay with that he deserved it. Okay, I'll
20:12
watched them clothes. He had a great year, especially from the receiver position.
20:17
Also for like, uh, you know, coming from you pull that
20:19
a little closer to coming from an offensive driven team, like he coach was
20:22
an offensive guy. You know that plays a huge part in like offensive scheam
20:26
and what they're doing. So but wow, now, DT, did you
20:32
not pick up that bread crumb from Nicols City crew that we have talked about
20:36
many times. I like an offensive coach. The reason I want an offensive
20:40
coach is not to know general I don't want. I'm not trying to push
20:42
Sean McDermott out of the building. However, However, it is true that
20:48
whether it's success or failure on the offensive side of the ball, Ken Dorsey
20:52
will attract attention if he is good at his job and Josh Allen likes up
20:56
the league. If he is shitty, he's gonna get fired. We are
20:59
constantly going through Ocs. I feel like Brian Dabele was a gem that we
21:03
had to let go. I understand the Bugoulas were never going to fire McDermott
21:07
to keep Brian Dabele. However, if you heard, if you heard your
21:11
captain right there he said, it makes a big difference when it's an offensive
21:15
coach. What kind of coach did he come from? Who was the coach
21:18
general in Minnesota? Mike Zimmer Right? What side of the ball is he
21:21
on? I mean he's on the defense side, right, What where's seth
21:27
McDermott cut his team? Okay, So so as long as everybody's on the
21:32
same page. Again, I'm not saying more than what I'm saying. What
21:34
I'm saying is let him talk. He's he's kind of leaving breadcrumbs about what's
21:40
going on some of the frustration. Let's continue petition between mine receivers. He
21:47
was, he was, He's getting a lot of targets too. And you
21:48
know, only people that are really touched the ball as much as him was
21:51
the quarterbacks. So, I mean, I feel like he deserved it a
21:52
one hundred percent. Could you feel like America was rooting for you guys this
21:57
year? From the beginning of the year, even from the previous year.
22:03
For like, everybody went into with the right mindset of just like, man
22:06
this year Buffalo should went in and do it. They're supposed to do so.
22:10
And then with everything that happened, like the trials and tribulations, we
22:11
had a ton of injuries, we had things happened at the end of the
22:15
year. I feel like it's like that feel good story that you want so
22:18
bad. Everybody wants to feel good story. But sorry, but you know,
22:22
we live in the real world. It was like a Disney movie,
22:26
just didn't have a Disney ending. Yeah, it's like once so like a
22:30
nightmare. Maybe nightmare did did we not feel the same way general when we
22:38
left the stadium, the team, when we left the stadium after Cincinnati did
22:41
not feel like a nightmare. It felt like a nightmare. You heard your
22:47
captain speaking to the blizzard. He speaks to He's just not saying those words,
22:52
He's just not he's not articulating in that kind of way, but he's
22:56
speaking to it. He's speaking to the trial, the trip relations that we
23:00
have gone through. We weren't we in Detroit back to back weeks fellas I
23:03
mean come on, let's keep it real here at Nickel City crew. Weren't
23:06
we on the road in Detroit for back to back weeks? Didn't Von Miller
23:10
get hurt Thanksgiving? Right? As one star defensive player tray Trey White is
23:15
coming off of an ACL injury, another one goes to an ACL injury Like,
23:18
how ironic can fucked up? Is that that day? Then we've got
23:22
we've got the blizzards we've got to deal with. We've got Damarrow Hamblin who
23:25
later in the lyric dies on the football field and they have to resuscitate him.
23:30
You hear, yes, yes, yes, yes, even I mean
23:37
they say Gabe Davis has been hurt, and they were talking a lot about
23:38
d hopping how Gabe Davis had an ankle indy' all year. So I just
23:41
wanted you to hear that he is. He's acknowledging the fact that we've gone
23:45
through a lot. Listen to how he finishes up this conversation and general.
23:49
I want you to just speak on this because this is what hit home the
23:52
most for me. How do you describe the feeling that last game you want
23:59
off the field. It was just disappointing. Um, damn damn sure.
24:03
Frustrated. You know, everybody really put in the grand scheme of things,
24:06
and uh, how long a year is, you know, and our year
24:10
is damn sure. I mean it just felt that much longer with everything we
24:11
had to go through an indoor So it just out of disappointment and frustrated.
24:15
And it was like, but shop, he did all this first, and
24:18
it seemed just like it seemed like a little bit not real, like when
24:22
when we lost, and I was just like really like trying to let it
24:25
register that damn, that's what we just did out there. So it was
24:26
it was a frustrating, disappointing. I mean, what what so, what
24:33
else do you want from him? He's talking, He's he's telling you exactly
24:37
how he felt. He felt the exact same way that we felt leaving that
24:41
game, which is damn. We went through blizzards, we went through the
24:45
massacre, with the with the you know, with the horrible shootings at tops,
24:48
we went through everything. We had to a matter rise, a weird
24:51
situation to start preseason. We had everything go wrong. We had blizzards,
24:55
We've got people, you know, going to to get von Miller out of
24:57
his apartment, out of this house to go get him to Orchard Park to
25:00
get him in snowmobiles. We spend two weeks back to back in Detroit.
25:06
We miss Christmas. Don't forget they miss Christmas. They miss being with their
25:11
families. And like, I hear this, and I hear a man that
25:15
is dedicated to his craft. He is we work all year for this shit.
25:19
We work all year. So when I when I see him blow up
25:23
on the sidelines Fellas, I don't look at it as him being a bad
25:26
teammate. I look at it as the opposite, that he gives a crap
25:32
enough, he cares about what's going on, and it's something that it just
25:34
rubbed me the wrong way. Man, how he's being painted almost as a
25:37
bad teammate and almost it's starting to feel like they're waiting for him to say
25:42
something. And I can't wait for mandatory minicamp because I don't think he owes
25:47
anybody anything, to be honest, So for me, right, I think
25:56
when Rob talks, to understand it right, like we come from an environment
26:04
where we need that energy right for us. You know, it's not always
26:14
about having the perfect technique or you know, um, you know, being
26:19
the fastest or the strongest, if you're the most hype on any given place,
26:26
listen to make you can make some shake right, you can make some
26:32
sat right. So when you have the dude in the middle of the huddle
26:37
going ahead, but people smacking people, pushing people around, you can't like
26:42
that energy. That person is invaluable, can't replicate it, thank you.
26:48
You have to appreciate everything that comes with that. You can't then be mad
26:52
at that guy being for being upset that y'all lost, right, that we
26:57
lost. The should be as upset as he is that he lost. And
27:03
that's why I love things, because he's as passionate as as a fan who
27:07
lived here for yes, and he just want to win. He's a fanatic.
27:17
He's a fanatic of victory. He's a fanatic for victory, you know.
27:19
And and as we see what we saw on the TV, right,
27:23
but we don't see in practice when when he's getting on somebody's ass for not
27:27
running a hard route, when he's getting on somebody's ass for not touching the
27:30
line in sprints, or you know, whatever cliche you want to say.
27:33
You know, when it comes down to it, you need that leader in
27:37
the team and you'd like it. You know, it comes from Josh Allen,
27:38
but it's got it comes from the main man of energy of fourteen.
27:41
He is the leadership of energy and emotion on this team. That's never been
27:45
a secret, that's since we got him. And that's why why we should
27:49
like why don't you like that juice? Why don't you like that fire when
27:53
he when he catches a touchdown, and it tells the New England fans.
27:57
You know I heard w g Are saying talking about after the game, Oh
28:02
well, you know, how is he getting mad at Josh Allen? And
28:03
how does he know what kind of pressure he was under? And this and
28:07
that? And listen, I will what I always said to that DT.
28:11
What I always said that that general was that listen, I get mad at
28:15
my flag football team after we spend forty five minutes practicing and then my quarterback
28:19
missus a reed. And that is in flag from all the most inconsequential.
28:25
Everybody gets a participation trophy. Nobody is paid. I'm not paid the parents.
28:29
But what do I do At the beginning of every basketball season, at
28:32
the beginning of every flag football season that I coach, I sent an email
28:36
to the parents. I tell the parents. We are keeping score. You
28:38
are giving me your young young boys, your young girls. We are going
28:42
to try to win. I will coach your kids hard. I will not
28:47
demean them, I will not disrespect them. However, if you're signing them
28:51
up to be in a competition sport that is keeping score, we're gonna try
28:55
to win. So because of that, I get upset. I can't.
28:59
And that's flag football. And I don't yell at the kids. I don't
29:02
parade the kids. It's not about that. I do it in a nice
29:03
way. But it's like, we just spent forty five minutes and we practiced
29:07
every single concept, and you are looking to the wrong route. You're looking
29:11
to the wrong one on this play, and you had Tyler wide open down
29:15
the sidelighte for and Randy Moss touchdown. And I come on quarterback and he'll
29:19
laugh and he understands that he missed the read. Could you imagine going to
29:23
ad Pro Sports Center every single day, general, every single day, Adam,
29:27
and come on DT, we're going to practice. We're going to work.
29:33
People forget that this is their job. It is our entertainment, this
29:37
is their job. They are compensated. And we practiced this ship every fucking
29:42
day for five days, and then we go out to the big game and
29:45
you're not looking at me. I'm I'm the number one. That's That's what
29:49
it looked like to me, that he was the number one. Right.
29:52
I watched the play that he was mad about, and he was wide open
29:55
and eth we could test to catching the corner of the end zone that was
29:56
knocked down, and he came back to the se like like, Yo,
30:00
it's fourth and sixth. I'm your man, I'm your guy. I've been
30:07
your guy, like Justice said, since you got here, like you said
30:10
DT, since y'all brought me here and traded for me. I've been your
30:14
guy. So don't not look at me in the biggest moments. I need
30:18
you, You need me right now. Why were you not looking at me?
30:22
Again, we don't know exactly what he said, but man, that
30:25
is that is the energy I feel when I saw him on the sideline after
30:29
I watched that route. I don't I just don't cringe when I see professionals
30:34
handling the business. I guess it's the best way to say a general and
30:37
taking it seriously and taking it seriously, Rob, I mean, it's it's
30:42
if he didn't take it seriously, he would be he would be crinded to
30:45
get traded, to move out and go get his go get his one hundred
30:48
and fifty, one hundred and fifty a game somewhere else. It's hypocritical if
30:52
of the fan base and the media to think that, you know, they
30:56
they're going to criticize stuff on Dicks for doing this. If we go out
30:59
to me, if we go out and lose a game this year, if
31:00
we go out and lose the opener to the Jets, what do you think
31:03
the first fifty calls to WGR on Monday morning. You're gonna be robbed.
31:07
It's gonna be you know, de guy, you know it's gonna be a
31:11
bad situation. So you're getting mad at your best one of your best players
31:15
on the team for also holding himself accountable home the team accountable. So that's
31:18
why I go back to my first point I made tonight of like, I
31:22
don't believe the mafia really thinks that because when push comes, when push comes
31:26
to shove, like you're we're doing the same thing. You're making the call
31:30
the GR and complaining about the loss, just like Stefan. So okay,
31:36
let's finish this up. General. I want you to hear Stefan finish this,
31:40
and I want to get your thoughts because it leads to the broader point
31:42
of the locker room, which I know that you and I talk pre show
31:45
a couple days ago before the holiday weekend, and it was something that came
31:49
up and it was just it just seems logical, and I don't get why
31:53
people are not picking up on it. Let's let's finish this up. And
31:56
I want to get I want to get your your thoughts on this general.
32:00
Yeah, and I understand your frustration. And everything's on camera. Yeah,
32:04
so we see even in Joshua on the sidelines. But I'd rather that you
32:09
know you had passion there then that it didn't bother you. I know that
32:15
you know you've probably been asked about it, looked at it, talked to
32:17
josh about it. But what looking back on it, what should we know
32:22
about that moment where you two where you had words with him? Well,
32:24
looking back, um, it was it was just it was just a you
32:29
know, that season that kind of like shook out the way it did.
32:31
I feel like the first nine weeks we had we hadn't kind of like a
32:35
formula, like a recipe for winning, and we kind of got away from
32:38
it on the back end, you know what I'm saying. We were we
32:40
were a creed named creating ways to win, but just how we were winning
32:45
wasn't as smooth as the first nine weeks. So uh and I kind of
32:47
a tested that just throughout the season. You know, we had a lot
32:50
of ups and downs and um, individually just trying to keep them things,
32:53
keep things tied together. It's just it was just some crucial moments in the
32:58
in the year that uh, like they later in this late in the season,
33:01
you know, later in the fourth quarter. It was opportunities and we
33:05
didn't take advantage of. So I feel like, um, like that last
33:08
that last I guess series or that last play when you saw a frustration.
33:14
It wasn't necessarily just that play, but those moments built up to its exactly.
33:19
It's it's and for me, it was up to this point, like
33:22
we've seen quarterback and receivers as far as like tandems and guys who play at
33:27
a high level, and every quarterback has their guy you know in those moments,
33:30
like you you are the guy I'm saying up to this point. I've
33:32
been a guy for my team and from our quarterback. So in those moments
33:36
that of course I want the ball, I'm saying, I'm never apologize for
33:38
that. I'll show you a good loser. I'll show you a loser,
33:42
you know what I'm saying. So at the end of the day, Um,
33:45
like, in that moment it was fourth and whatever. Of course I
33:47
was one on one on the backside, and I wanted to put us in
33:50
a position to win. So, uh, you know, I'll never apologize
33:53
for passion because we kind of we forget about this game, I guess,
33:57
like and you know, some people say like, oh, don't be a
33:59
sore loser or or you know, it's hard not to be frustrated. So
34:01
for me, I always look at it as earlier in that season, we
34:05
had a we had a real scare. You know, we had something that
34:08
you know, we never thought we will see ninety nine point nine percent the
34:13
thing with DeMar what I'm saying, So it kind of like put things in
34:15
perspective for a lot of people, and it became real. That slim change
34:19
became real for everybody we saw it. So it kind of seemed like,
34:22
uh, we forget how much we're putting into this game until moments like that
34:27
happened. And so when his moments like were we lose and people shot and
34:30
tell you to have be a good sport or you know, patch you on
34:31
the back, like this isn't literal league baseball, nothing against little league baseball.
34:37
I mean, what did the general what? What? What does he
34:42
saying that's wrong? Tell me something that's that's false, because I mean the
34:45
thing that I love most about fourteen is that is that Captain Dick speaks facts.
34:50
He's not fake. You never are going to get fake from him.
34:52
What did he say that was wrong? Man? I don't get it.
34:55
I mean he's saying, you know, how they a it's like you know,
35:00
football players, basketball players question and saying, you know, because they
35:04
have a brand and they make so much money outside of basketball, they have
35:07
to maintain a certain image and image image image thing. Um, and I
35:15
think Digs does too. But at the same time, his image is like
35:20
real. It's like yo, real shit, yeah, you know, yes,
35:27
and it's pretty cool because again, everybody is feeling the way he feels
35:31
or some variation of it. So why are we getting mad at him for
35:37
saying like we felt the same thing, like what like, you know,
35:43
to get mad at him for saying it's out wild even though we're all thinking
35:47
it is kind of stupid. So I don't know who these people are are
35:54
mad at Digs for not, you know, being a job next time,
36:02
I've heard a lot. Yeah, Like, I don't know who you people
36:08
are. The chances are you've never played sports. Yeah, you've never been
36:15
in in like And I'm I'm looking at it as the opposite rob as a
36:22
as a positive of they thought they were the they were the favorite all year.
36:25
They went through all the trials and tribulations they thought they had, They
36:30
thought they had done enough to put themselves successful and put themselves in a position,
36:35
and they weren't. So this year, I think they're gonna look at
36:38
it like we we thought we had it going last year and we faced all
36:42
that diversity and still thought we had it going and it wasn't good enough.
36:45
So this is, you know, we have to work extra hard. We
36:47
have to have that to nasty. We can't be okay with you know,
36:50
missing me on fourth and six, Like it's not acceptable. And that's that's
36:53
how I'm looking at it. It's kind of a positive of we thought we
36:57
had it all together, and we went through all that and still thought we
37:00
had it all together, and then we didn't. You know, we got
37:01
our as kicked a home. So and I think that's funny because our quarterbacks
37:06
kind of talking like that, Fellas, you know, the quarterbacks to that
37:09
we did. We did have it together. We completely could have won a
37:14
super Bowl this year and last year, any of your Yeah, it's the
37:17
fact that we did it. You know, we folded under pressure, and
37:22
I think that is the more frustrating because if you go out and lose to
37:25
the better team, you just lose, man. But if you and you
37:30
are the better team and you lose, you feel sick. Yeah, man,
37:34
you do feel sick. And you know, it's interesting because you know,
37:37
you guys are hitting on some of the points that I really wanted to
37:39
talk about tonight. So I really appreciate having you guys on because, you
37:44
know, before we get to the locker room thing. It's funny D two
37:45
that you said that, because I mean, honestly, the quarterback has been
37:49
sounding like that as well. And I you know, I'm not in his
37:52
personal business. We don't know and I don't follow you know, him or
37:54
his you know, ex girlfriend or girlfriend or whatever the case may be.
37:58
But you know, every all, Josh Allen keeps telling you that he's more
38:01
focused and he's more focused, that he's more focused, and he's ready and
38:05
he's he's ready and not like I wasn't before, but I'm really really ready
38:08
now. Listen. I think that what Stefan Diggs is the energy that he's
38:14
bringing, even without his physical presence in the building quite yet, because it's
38:19
not mandatory yet. I think that he's bringing a level of accountability that Listen,
38:24
it's fun that we all have handshakes. It's fun that we all have
38:28
our unique handshakes with Josh, and it's funny. It's fun that we put
38:30
up thirty points or forty points. I'm about a super Bowl. I'm about
38:35
getting one right now. I want one right now. And I think that
38:37
he's getting ready to take more of a business approach. Not that, not
38:40
that you're not my boy anymore, not saying that DT, I'm not saying
38:44
that general. Y'all still my boys. I'm rocking with y'all. We can
38:46
do these podcasts every week if you want, but when we come, you
38:50
better be ready with your notes. You better be ready with your points,
38:52
you better be ready with your hot takes, because I'm trying to take my
38:55
ship to another level and I'm not waiting on anybody. And I think that
39:00
that's kind of the energy that he's bringing into this team and especially into the
39:06
offense, because I don't think he's really fucking around much anymore. And I
39:09
think that that's kind of what he's telling you when everybody, I being an
39:14
honest fellas, I have heard people are waiting bated breath. Sal Capacci on
39:20
w g R cannot wait for mandatory minute camp to come around. They can't
39:23
wait for Stefan Dix to get back to camp so that they can ask him
39:28
questions, how are you and Josh? Is everything okay with you and Josh?
39:31
I don't even know how many questions he really has to field on that
39:35
type of stuff, you know, to be honest, because if it was
39:37
me, I wouldn't be handling anything. I would be telling him. Did
39:38
you not hear me on Dan Patrick during the super Bowl? Did you not
39:42
hear me on other shows? He's not hearing me on this and that I
39:45
love Josh and he loves me, but I'm here to win the super Bowl,
39:49
and I think I just feel like that's the energy he's bringing. Yeah,
39:53
you know, Jimmy Butler's the na to find Ye. It was this
40:01
clip I saw where I love this clip. Right Bam out of Bio has
40:07
the Eastern Conference championship and he's you know what I'm saying. He's telling Jimmy
40:12
like here hold it. It was like nah, right, and then you
40:15
could read his lips and he says, I'll hold the next one. That's
40:19
the energy. That's the energy Steffine Diggs brings. Even from like their aura,
40:24
they have the same something. Yes, that dog they both got that
40:31
dog um and they do. They do remind me of each other. Both
40:37
guys who aren't necessarily the biggest, the strongest, the fastest. Day smith
40:46
and will literally tear your out to you and tell you about yourself after he
40:52
employs. Yeah, absolutely, um, by hook and by crook, they're
40:58
gonna get theirs and they want to win win. Yeah. You know why
41:02
people call him a diva, Oddly enough, it's because they always hold someone
41:07
accountable because they want to win. Right, that's true, And that's true.
41:12
And look at the look at the progression as three three years ago.
41:15
Stefan Dick standing out on the field, watching watching the celebration of the Kansas
41:20
City Chiefs, hand on his helmet, Let's hand take this in. Let's
41:23
take this in. You know, let's not let this happen again next year,
41:28
complete shock in the thirteen seconds. Then this year it's like, all,
41:31
well, how much more do you want? How much leeway do you
41:35
want? How much okay with this? Do you want us to be like?
41:37
This? Is that he was never going to be okay with it.
41:40
He always wants the ball in that situation. He was never going to be
41:45
okay with it. It's not like he came in and started doing this.
41:46
He's earned his strikes. He became the voted team captain two years in a
41:50
row. He's earned. He's earned to be able to speak his mind and
41:54
show that type of emotion on this team. Yeah, I mean I agree.
41:58
As as we as we wrap up, I have to hit the locker
42:00
room scene before we exit out of here. I really appreciate you guys and
42:05
your time tonight, and you guys giving me a little bit of your your
42:07
free time, because again, this was an episode that I had to get
42:12
off of my chest because mandatory mini camp is around the corner and he will
42:17
be back, just like you know, Matt Milano hasn't been at at voluntary.
42:22
Nobody's talking about Matt Milanna being a malcontent. And wait, hey,
42:23
man, Tremaine, Edmund's left to Chicago and you're the leader of the defensive
42:29
linebacker group. Why aren't you that he might be out with his wife.
42:30
He might be out with his lady, it might be somewhere he's enjoying his
42:35
time because it's voluntary. But for stuff they're talking about him, they can't,
42:38
they cannot wait for him to get back. So before we close,
42:43
I wanted to touch on the locker room scene again. You talked about a
42:45
DT two time captain voted by his peers. Again, not by Nickel City
42:50
crew, not by Buffalo fan based, not by Bill's mafia, by the
42:52
people that go to work with him. One of the biggest criticisms I definitely
42:58
heard after the Cincinnati when it comes to Stefan Digs and why they were upset
43:02
was no leader leaves the locker room. No leader huffs and puffs and does
43:09
that what I talk with you, what I talked with General about the other
43:14
day right before Memorial day, DT, you already know my stance on this.
43:16
If I am mad at you, DT, and I love you like
43:20
a brother, and I'm at your house, we are at the same house,
43:23
or you're at my house, we are in the same dwelling. I
43:25
might go outside to smoke a cigarette if you piss me off enough, not
43:30
because I don't like you, not because you're not my brother anymore, but
43:35
because I need to go in and calm down, because something has happened that
43:38
has pissed me off so much. Then I'm getting ready to either act out
43:44
of character. Maybe I'll start throwing some shit, Maybe I'll start hitting some
43:49
shit. Maybe I'll start hitting some people. I don't even necessarily know what
43:52
I'll do, And because I know myself enough, I'm gonna remove myself from
43:57
the situation quickly. I'm gonna go on portreal quick, smoke a cigarette.
44:00
I'm gonna grab a blunt real quick. I Am going to try to do
44:05
anything I can to do to relax and decompress because I've just left a high
44:12
tension, a high emotional situation that I really do need to separate myself from.
44:15
I cannot imagine putting your body on the line. We saw now with
44:21
Tamarrow hambling with an anomaly, putting your life on the line. We already
44:24
know that football is is fucking dangerous. We all know that parents should know
44:29
that if they let their kids play, that there is a level of danger
44:31
to it. Listen, I can only imagine being in a situation where I
44:36
pour everything. You heard Stefan Dick say he gives everything to this general.
44:40
He gives everything in the offseason to the Buffalo Bills to make sure that they're
44:44
ready for those seventeen weeks, and it doesn't turn out the way that it
44:47
does. Man, if I'm mad at you, DT, I might have
44:50
to separate myself from you. Shout out again to Taiwan Jones, who got
44:55
him back in the locker room before he actually got into his car, however,
45:00
because that is a good look for a captain. However, Man,
45:04
I have no problem with instead of Stefan coming in the locker room, turning
45:08
over tables, turning over gator raids, turning over snack tables, going absolutely
45:15
berserved, he was he left the locker room. I respect that I don't.
45:20
That's called control. To me, that's called control, that's called awareness,
45:24
that's called self awareness understanding general, tell me that I am wrong about
45:30
that assessment, because DT knows where I stand on that. I respected him
45:35
more for leaving the situation as opposed to talking to the media as opposed to
45:42
being in a locker room when he was fucking red hot. I I respect
45:45
it more. They haven't all twisted with this with this dude. Man,
45:49
That's why the episode is name the way that it is. Man. They
45:52
have him all misunderstood, all miseducation. Yeah, I agree, I'm the
45:57
same way actually happening. You know, I'm not gonna give you my heart
46:02
and soul to kiss. You know, I'm not gonna sit here and still
46:07
still my guts just for you to have some passive aggressive reaction or say something
46:15
to really piss me off for really, you know what I mean. So
46:16
I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna look at the situation. I'm gonna see
46:21
if it makes sense, you know, And and ultimately, usually because people
46:25
are stupid, the best, you know, the best thing to do is
46:29
to just detach real quick, you know what I mean. Uh, step
46:31
away from from the situation. You know, Cooler heads nine times out of
46:37
ten prevail um And and again it just made They made it seem like it
46:45
was a negative that he left the locker room, and I just didn't.
46:47
I just didn't see that. That's people who who come in and they take
46:52
it as a job. Right. These are people who are like, oh,
46:54
they paid me to do a job. My season's over now I can
46:59
go have phone money versus someone who is like, they're paying me to be
47:02
a champion. I hate and looking at myself like a champion. I can
47:07
give like the money I earned the money. You know why I get paid
47:12
so much money, because you gotta pay me that much money if you want
47:14
me on your team, right, you know what I mean? It is
47:16
because I bring that championship uh, pedigree uh and mentality. It's because I
47:23
make so that's the reason why I make so much money. So you can't
47:27
then sit here and tell me that I am working, you know, to
47:31
one hundred and forty million dollars you know worth of worth of work. I'm
47:37
doing one hundred and forty million dollars worth of work, and you're gonna tell
47:38
me that I should calm down when y'all he's not doing y'all job. No,
47:46
you apologize to me. What are you talking about it, and the
47:52
coaching staff lets us down. And now you're gonna tell me to calm down.
47:58
You're gonna tell me to come back into the locker room because I'm a
48:00
leader, our leaders. I don't be like I'm not doing your jobs.
48:06
So like, you know, I don't look, you get what comes with
48:10
it. And it's not like he did that in the middle of the season.
48:14
They lose a game and he storms out right, this was the end
48:16
game. This was the end and it was what it was. And yeah,
48:22
and that's my last league. Yeah, because he wanted the championship exactly
48:25
exactly. I like that too. He doesn't get paid paid to play,
48:30
he's get paid to be a champion, so and he didn't achieve that,
48:32
you know, so he's not going to rest until that happens. And hopefully
48:36
that mentality spreads to more more people on this team and we can get that
48:39
ring here. But the last point I'm making this whole thing now to the
48:43
current you know, OTAs and him not being there, which he's rarely as
48:45
or has in his whole career to anything. But you know, development,
48:51
development is huge in the NFL. Look at how many top tier recruits come
48:53
in and are nothing because they weren't developed correctly. And you can't put the
48:58
meanest dog in the in the in the pen with the puppies, you know,
49:01
like you got you gotta develop a little bit because it gets to the
49:07
NFL kill until it's training camp. Still it's time to win, and then
49:12
you bring that dog in and say, oh shit, we gotta we gotta
49:15
run up this. But really, that receiver, you can't do that.
49:19
You can't do that ship right off the riff or these kids are gonna be,
49:21
you know, scared to do anything out there. So that's kind of
49:24
where I take with that. Give opportunity for you know, people to to
49:28
step up and go into rolls and give Josh the opportunity to have that Stefan
49:31
digs in them and start calling people out and yo, you you didn't I
49:35
don't care if you're a rookie. You didn't run that route like that,
49:37
get off the field somebody else in here, and and that's the opportunity.
49:42
I think it lays with him not being there. That was good, I
49:44
like very well, because it justin Shorter is out here rounting you up in
49:50
training camp, come to the field. It's gonna be a holder authority very
49:58
well. I like that a lot of Yeah. I like that because you're
50:00
absolutely right, because it's funny that, you know. I was like,
50:04
well, what are they complaining about? The other young guys are gonna get
50:07
reps, they'll get a chance to work with Josh and the other I'm like,
50:09
what do they I'm like, wait a minute, wasn't he not here
50:13
last year until the last week right before mandatory? Again, I've heard it.
50:16
I know I'm not making it up. I've heard them WGR, other
50:20
Avid w GR listeners in Nicols City, Crew, Buffalo Bills, Monfia know
50:22
that I'm not joking when I say this. They have they have a sale
50:28
at this guy. And now the new meeting point is is getting ready for
50:31
his coronation his are you sorry for yelling at Josh at mandatory Mini camp interview?
50:39
And I just I want you all to know that you don't have to
50:43
hold your breath of that ship because you might, you might suffocate, you
50:45
might pass out. I don't think he's getting ready to issue any more apologies
50:50
or anything like that. He's already said that he's not okay losing the one
50:53
thing I've been watching, um you know, I've been watching a lot of
50:57
The Last Dance again. It is my second go round of The Last Stance.
51:00
And if it's funny, you know, Michael Jordan's damn near crying at
51:04
the end episode ten and he's talking about he said, you know what,
51:07
I never asked a teammate to do something I wouldn't fucking do. And they're
51:12
showing him first in sprints, and they're showing him first in workouts and stuff
51:15
like that, And like, I just feel that that's the energy that Stefan
51:19
briggs the rings to the Bills. I think that he is a dog.
51:22
I think that he leads by example. I think that he will also lead
51:25
by his vocals and make sure that in a locker room that his voice is
51:29
heard. Who was the person that was ready to play when a man literally
51:32
died on the football field and then was resuscitated, it was Stefan dis If
51:37
the Buffalo Bills had to get back on the field against the Cincinnati Bengals,
51:42
do you know one player that was ready to play? It was Stefan.
51:44
Dixie saw all of the memes of him on the sideline getting the guys amped
51:49
up, getting them ready to go. There's nothing else we can do for
51:52
our brother. He is alive, he's not dead. He's going to get
51:55
top notch medical care. They want us to go back out there. Let's
51:59
go out and punch these motherfuckers in the mouth. I respected that. Then
52:02
everybody says, okay, oh, okay, come now, we're gonna cancel
52:06
the game. Okay. So then he decompresses that. Everybody goes home.
52:08
But who was ready? What is the first thing tomorrow? Hamlin asked when
52:13
he woke up, did we win the game? Yeah? Did we win
52:16
the game was the first thing. So I like to know that I've got
52:21
somebody like fourteen in my corner that when it was literally life and death,
52:27
he was there. He had my back in that foxhole literally like you can't
52:30
even say that, it's figuratively literally life and death. He died on the
52:35
field, was resuscitated, goes to the hospital. First question he asked,
52:38
did we win the game? And had had we had to play? Step
52:43
was Reggie? You saw him on the silent everybody in America did on NBC
52:46
or whatever station it was, saw him ready trying to get those guys amped
52:51
up. Man, there's it's an invaluable Draymond Green is invaluable to his culture.
52:55
Russell Westbrook, back in his heyday with Oklahoma City, was invaluable to
52:59
his culture. Even crazy Dennis Rodman invaluable to the culture because they do a
53:04
lot of the ship that nobody else wants to do. DT. They do
53:07
a lot of the dirty work general that nobody else wants to do. Not
53:10
everybody feel like going to work every single day, but they're there. They're
53:15
they're early for workouts, they're they're late after workouts. They're there. I
53:20
think that that is a trait that we need as Bill's Monfia and Nickel City
53:22
crew. We need to embrace this man as he comes back. Embrace him,
53:27
don't give him the cold show that. Don't make him think like you
53:30
are sensitive because he yelled that your quarterback, your quarterback can handle it.
53:34
It's okay, Yeah, I got y'all back on that. I mean,
53:40
I mean, DT, I got you got quiet. I know he yelled
53:44
your quarterback. I know you love him, man, I mean, Josh
53:46
is a big boy. He's okay, I've got it. And like I
53:51
said, Josh has got to take that step now to start yelling at people
53:53
too. So let's let's see. I'm down with it, man, go
54:00
ahead, go ahead, Justice find the word bad. I feel so bad
54:06
for both of them because it's like it's like a sabbatur almost right. You
54:14
got two brothers and they love each other, they work well together, and
54:17
then somebody throws a monkey wrench, you know, and to the machine,
54:22
the monkey wrench, and and let's just call this monkey wrench. I don't
54:27
know, then corsi right, all right, just something random. So so
54:39
like somebody throws a monkey wrench into the system, and then you know,
54:44
the brothers fight because things are I mean you heard it were bad for them
54:51
because no, I was just saying, I feel bad for them because Josh
54:54
has to do everything because there's no creativity in the offense, and you know,
55:00
percent of the time he's looking at Stefan Diggs and he's getting double teamed
55:02
or you know, the deference has shade it coverage his way, or whatever
55:07
the case may be. It's like I get it, like I wouldn't necessarily
55:12
look at like if I look to you on first, second, and third
55:14
down, you're getting double team. I don't know. I mean, like
55:17
I know it's fourth and six. I gotta put it all round for a
55:22
touchdown. I think that I'm you know, I'm I know, I'm good
55:25
enough to make a throw, I try anything. But then he's pissed that.
55:29
I can understand why that. I go back and a look at the
55:30
film and I'm like, crap, he was wide open, right, But
55:36
because Josh shouldn't have to be in that position, you know, because his
55:40
offensive coordinator should not be having his his wide receivers run the type of route
55:46
concept slow. Yeah, you know, he's put in a very awkward position.
55:52
And and by the way, actually what you say about Stefan Diggs rob
55:57
as far as the Mark Hamlet situation, he shouldn't have been put in that
56:00
position either, right, Uh, they didn't know what was going on with
56:02
demorrow. They should have ever been expected to get back on the field and
56:07
play in five minutes. Nonetheless, Yeah for him, but I still he
56:14
was able to That goes into he was the one to do it and be
56:17
able to be a leader of men. I think is another patch on his
56:21
jacket. Yeah, it really is another fact in his cap to tall tales
56:24
sign of you know, to that back to the armtow fourth and six.
56:29
It's a sign that everyone asked that Josh says, man, I don't want
56:32
everyone fourteen yelling at me again. I better look at him the line the
56:36
lineman say. The lineman say, wow, we can't have fourteen yelling and
56:38
seventeen like that. We got a block better so seventeen season, yeah,
56:42
the coaches say, wow, we can't have fourteen we have fourteen yeen and
56:45
seventeen like that. We got to find a way to get him open or
56:47
tell Josh to see him. But like it's a champ saying the OC step
56:52
his game up, you know what I mean. We'll talk about Ken Dorsey
56:55
um at length, and I think we should have you back on in general
56:58
for that because you sound like somebody that we might want to talk to you
57:00
about Ken Dorsey because we want to dig into him as well, because you're
57:05
absolutely right. We talked about it here at Nicols City Crew at Nauseam last
57:08
season DT, we talked about it. Something to look different about the offense
57:12
after the bye week, it was just weird. It was harder. That
57:15
Monday night game against the Packers was really the last time that we really saw
57:20
the team. It was just it started to just go in a different direction.
57:23
Stefan Dix talked about it. A lot of the guys talked about it,
57:27
so it was really interesting to see the transformation of the offense as it
57:30
kind of came down the stretch. So, I mean, it is what
57:34
it is, man. I appreciate you guys taking the time out of your
57:36
night tonight, Ivy, I really do. I had to get it off
57:39
my chest. I'm really excited for you know, obviously we got mandatory minicamp
57:44
coming up in a couple of weeks, and then they break again and then
57:46
our bills will be heading out to Pittsburgh to Saint John Fisher before you know
57:52
it. Man, I mean, it is really crooping up on us,
57:53
fellas. So I really appreciate you. Justice my man again, Justice General
57:59
Radford at J seventeen MVP on Twitter Buffalo fan Base, which we saw him
58:04
a class on presented by twenty six Shirts. We really appreciate you taking time
58:07
out of your night tonight. DT. You already know, man, we
58:09
in the building. You know, I had to get this shit off of
58:12
my chest. Man. I think somebody says something about forty more time.
58:16
I feel like taking next Friday again again. I feel like I'm crazy.
58:25
I we need we need that dog. We need that dog on this team.
58:30
We need that leadership. And that's what it's gonna take to one of
58:34
them. Man, embrace listening. When he's gone, Man, embrace it.
58:38
Man. As always, these were my bills, thoughts, set out
58:42
Loudspread love now hate Fellas hit him with a gold bills, Man in the
58:45
night, Man Go bills. Man Bills,
