• 1:56
  Speaker 1: disguise coverage, where I've started kind of all over the place,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: my mic was is over here, which is why it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: sounded far away to start the show. Buffalo Bill has
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: been eliminated from the playoffs after a loss that it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: seems like they continue to have. They don't just lose,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They have art form type of losses, the type of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: losses that names are given to and that are placed
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on lists, and ones that seem to be burned and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: seared into your brain forever. And following that loss in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Denver to the Broncos in overtime in the divisional round,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's head coach Sean McDermott was fired, Buffalo Bill's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: GM Brandon Bean, was promoted, and suddenly this Bill's organization
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: team franchise has kind of been thrust or plunged into chaos,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about that chaos, some of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that chaos tonight. We are going to lead off this
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: show talking about the firing of Sean McDermott, the promotion
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of Bean. If you're watching the show live right now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we're listening to it, you know, early Wednesday morning. Brandon
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Bean and Terry Paguler schedule to have a press conference
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Wednesday the twenty first at ten am, so we'll get
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: some more answers there. But we're going to dive into
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: just kind of the firing, you know McDermott, How deserved
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was it, how not deserved was it, the way it
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: was handled, everything time to being the roster, the on
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: field stuff, all that. We're gonna have a discussion on that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Put a bow on that. Part of the reason I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to lead off with that in this episode is
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of you in the comments and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: chat are already kind of putting through. We like to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: make the show very engaging, you know, the brand in general,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: but especially on the show. I like to make it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: as engaging as possible, and I know a lot of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you have thoughts, questions, comments concerned. So we'll lead off
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: with that, put a bow on it, put it to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: rest as much as we can, even though it will
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: not be put to rest for likely a very long time.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And then after that, we're going to dive into several
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: head coaching candidates that appear to be on the Buffalo
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Bill's radar that also I think would make sense that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I like pros cons ranking them, you know, what they
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: bring schematically, what they bring from a philosophical or from
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: an identity perspective, who they kind of are as people,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and some of their journeys and steps. So I think
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I think this will be a fun episode, even though
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it's painful because football is pain. Sports are pain is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the comment just came in now from fireplays on mc
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: top three head coach wish list. We're going to get
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: into that in this episode. I'm gonna be detailing several
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: guys that you know, are out there that I think
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: makes sense, that are potentially, you know, rumored to be
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on the Bills radar. You know, after Sean mcdermnal was fired,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it was reported that the Bills were starting to put
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: together head coaching candidate lists yesterday. So it's it's just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a very interesting way that things are going about. But yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the head coaching spot. To the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: comment that just came in, Yes, we're going to talk
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: about for for a lot of these right head coach
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that comes in, who would be the defensive coordinator, who
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: would kind of be the offensive coordinator? If it's a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: defensive minded guy. Are they calling plays if it's an
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: offensive minded guy, or they calling the place so you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't really need no CE or a DC depending on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: what side of the ball they're on, all that kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of stuff. So, yeah, we'll be diving into that for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a bunch of these candidates. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, anything
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: from anyone that you you know, have on your mind. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, beliefs, philosophies, ideologies, maxim's, theorems,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. We're gonna be diving into
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a bunch of that to start the show and go
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: through and throw up the banner. Now, that says Sean
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: McDermott fired, Brandon being promoted. Also, I just saw as
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: we started, my wife texts me shout out to my wife,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and I saw somebody mentioned in the comments as well.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel just got hired as the Chargers offensive coordinator,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: which I think is a good hire for them. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to fe man somebody already updated is Wikipedia page.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, mccannall just got hired as the Charges
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. So if you were a Mike McDaniel truther, uh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: wanted him to come to the Bills as an offensive coordinator,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: as I did, but I didn't think it was likely.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I actually thought he would kind of push for another
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: head coaching job, So it's interesting that he's going to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: be in OC. I think he's gonna do really well
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: with Herbert. I think McDaniel's a good offensive mind, good
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: run game design, which makes sense why he would mesh
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: well with Harbaugh. He just kind of gets away from
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the run too easily or often. But playing under Jim Harbaugh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be a worried because he's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna preach, you know, to kind of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: pound the rock. But good run game design from Mike McDaniel, Shanahan, tree,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: formational manipulation, personnel dictation, all that kind of stuff. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: think a lot of what his offense was in Miami
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was tailored and fit for TUA in terms of, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the first read aspect, the timing and the precision of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it in that way. But I think he's a good
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: offensive mind, really good at the details, good at coaching
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: up the wide receiver room again, just design, calling, layering.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good mind. He's somebody that I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: would have took here in Buffalo. If you know, I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't expecting Sean mcdermoy to get fired. One of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: snares I kept preaching was if Joe Brady were to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: take a job elsewhere, or if Joe Brady were to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: be let go, I would welcome Mike McDaniel with open
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: arms as the Bills offensive coordinator. But alas another one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: potential head coach, potential offensive coordinator off the board. If
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you were a believer in Robert sala As, I am
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a bit. He was hired late last night slash early
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this morning to be the head coach for the Tennessee Titans.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll kind of see what happens going down the road.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: As again more names continue to fall off. Jeff Haffley,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Packers defensive coordinator, who I really like in terms of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: how creative he is schematically. He was hired, I believe
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: officially or heavily reported as the Dolphins head coach yesterday,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So another name off the board. Guys are starting to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: drop and fall a little bit. Will continue to see
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: what they say. Again. As Michael says in the chat here,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that's such a sharp hire for the Chargers. It really is.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I feel like Herbert hasn't gotten a lot of support
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: throughout his tenure with the Chargers, and just everything's been
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: going on, and now you go into next year with
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: in theory, a healthy offensive line, which when healthy is good.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You get Rashaun Slater back, you get Joe Alt back.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Those are huge steps forward kind of having two strong
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: bookends there, and now you have Mike mccannie'll call them
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: plays and designing your offense. Man. Yeah, I think that's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: where that is a sharp hire. I think it's a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: good move for the Chargers, who just seem they're they're
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kind of been, like obviously a couple steps back from Bills,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: or who knows, maybe not anymore. The Chargers always seem
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to just kind of charger themselves every year. It feels
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: like there's hype that they don't really you know, the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: brass ring, they don't grab the hunt. They never can
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: get over, but kind of to a lower level than
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the Bills. So it's funny kind of just watching them
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: pitter patter and like sputter around a bit. But I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: think they're a good squad. They got good dudes, they
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: got horses on the offensive side, they got some horses
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side. I am one of those people
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: who thinks Justin Herbert is sweet and yeah, now you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: got a really good offensive mind in that building. We'll
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: see what happens with Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator on that
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: side of the We'll be talking about him in tonight's episode.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But if he were to stay, Wow McDaniel on one side,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: mentioned on the other, really fun, fun and cool stuff.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the comments at the beginning,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and as this banner is up here now, Saint Sean
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: McDermott fire, Brandon be promoted. How does everybody feel about this? Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Do you think the firing was justified? Do you think
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it was justified but they didn't go about it the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: right way? How do you feel about Brandon Bean? How
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: do you feel about the roster? Do you think one
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of these two guys deserves more blame for the bills
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: failures year after year than the other? And why whatever
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you got put it up into the chat. As always,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: super chats get priority, and yeah, we're gonna go through
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: as many things as we can in tonight's episode. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of thoughts on everyone's minds, so
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: kind of dive into it. No, I'm want to go
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: back to the very beginning. Marty says, how much dumping
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: on beat is on the schedule for tonight because I'm
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: ready to listen to all of it? Fair RJ No
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: too far? Rj RG says, so are we the Cleveland
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Rounds now? Because it feels like we're the Cleveland Browns. No,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the Bills aren't there yet, Damn. Marty said they have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a good defense though. Kay Morris says, who do I fire? Now?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I know. Uh ah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: great comedy from Jason. On tonight's episode of Disguy's coverage,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: we discussed which is better to be admired or to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: be an admiral. I do want to touch on that briefly.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: And you know, the Bills ended up posting I didn't
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: watch it yet. They had dropped a little bit ago
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: as I was kind of preparing for the episode and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: finishing daytime stuff. But I saw that they gave like
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a nice farewell from the Bill's Twitter account to Sean McDermott.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But you know, in kind of relation to Jason's sweet
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: there just the optics of the firing of Sean McDermott
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: were so bad, like the that letter that press release,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I should say, and it not being proof read and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: them trying to say has done an admirable job, but
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: instead they said, admire the fact that that didn't get check.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And I understand that people kind of make error. Somebody
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: makes a typo and doesn't catch it, but did nobody
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: else proof read it? And no one else was able
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to catch it, or did nobody care enough to proofread it,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and they were just like, yeah, whatever, that's fine. It
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: just I thought that really was such a good microcosm
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of kind of the optics of the day yesterday for
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the firing and for the Bills organization, where it was
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: just you know, the news was kind of shocking, but
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the way it seemingly all went down, especially with that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: press release. Yeah, just yeah. And for again, if you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: don't know, the first line of the press release from
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Terry Paguler from the Bills about you know, hey, Brandon
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Bean is getting promoted, Sean McDermott is no longer with us.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The first line was, you know, Sean has done an
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: admirable or it meant to say Sean has done an
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: admirable job, but instead of admirable, they wrote admirble, not great.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Marty says, is everyone kind of in the fire. Both
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of them came. So this was my thought, I and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave with this. I'm gonna keep going back
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to the comments. I kind of want to put it
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: out there rather than kind of beating around the bush
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: too much. I I think Sean McDermott is a fault
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for a lot of things. Again, the idea for this
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Bills team, right, was to win a Super Bowl. Year
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: after year They've been championship contenders. You want to win
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: your division, right, you want to get a high seed,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you want to make the playoffs with the goal of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: winning a super Bowl or at least getting there. The
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Bills did not. The Bills been to the AFC Championship
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: multiple times. They faltered multiple times this year. You know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: no Kansas City Chiefs, no Baltimore Ravens, no Joe Burrow,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: even though really much of the Big Bad and the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: AFC four you has been the Chiefs, And you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like, okay, like can they do it?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: If not? Now when it was being painted that way
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: by some of the fan base, but a lot of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that from the national media. However you slice it. The
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Bills have failed to get over the hump. They failed
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in the McDermott bean era, to accomplish the goals that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they set out and that the fan base came to expect,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: which was win a Super Bowl or I think it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: even some like just get like finally win the AFC,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: get out of the AFC, and I think tied within that,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just the you know, coming up short season
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: after season. It was the similar ways in which they
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: would come up short, where the defense just kind of
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: looks messy and ugly. Guys are banged up, the defensive
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: line looks toothless, like there's no pressure, there's no pass rush.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: There's moments where it just seems like you're getting out coached,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you're getting taken advantage of the teams that you're playing
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: seem to have really good dudes on each side of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the ball, like all pro caliber guys and horses, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you just kind of have Josh Allen and not much else.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: It seems like year after year they were in the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: same spot of how they would lose, the reasons for losing,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and kind of just not being able to get over
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that hump right and within that. As I've said for
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of seasons, I was fine if Sean McDermott went.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I was fine if Sean McDermott state. I do not
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: think the grass is always greener On the other side,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I thought, if you fired Sean mcderm you could get
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: somebody who capitalizes on Josh Allen and builds the rest
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of the roster, or does something great schematically and gets
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you over the hump. Or you could plunge yourself into
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: horribly terrible depths and be worse than you've been for
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the past couple of years. And I just thought it
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: was you know, there was an equal chance of having
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: both right, especially if you get a head coach that is,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you know, more of a coordinator and unproven. Even if
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you get someone who is proven as a track record,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you still don't know what you're gonna get with them,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, in your building, with your team and these players,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But you know, if you
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: wanted McDermot gone, I was fine with it. If you
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: wanted mcdermim to stay, I was fine with it. I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: just didn't think the grass was always green on the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: other side, and on the whole, I thought he was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a good coach and a guy running the ship, although
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: if you watch the show, you know I've had a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: lot of issues with just kind of the schematic stuff
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: defensively in the playoffs, what they've been from a reactionary
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: standpoint versus a proactive play on the front foot type
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of standpoint. And then my issues with the run defense
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and how they built this roster on that side of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the ball kind of just behind the trends, behind the meta,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and how that's cost them and what that's done for
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: them from a negative standpoint. But for as much of
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: their you know, the failures and shortcomings for this team
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: fall on Sean McDermott, I think there's just as many
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: that fall on Brandon Bean. Brandon Bean's hands are bloody,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: just like Sean McDermott's hands are bloody. Both of these
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: guys are extremely culpable. And my issue with how this
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: all went down was, you know, I thought, if you
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: fired Sean McDermott, okay, then you probably fire Bean clean
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: house all at once to kind of go from there.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: And instead McDermott gets fired, Bean stays on, Bean gets
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a promotion. Now you know, as a lot of people
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have said and we alluded to on the Emergency Pod
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: yesterday here on Cover one, like we talked about, you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this could be being gets promoted to President Football Operations,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: someone else takes over as the GM, right My issue
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: with that is still Bean is overseeing everything, and everything
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: is funneling into Bean, which is what will happen now
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in that press release he got promoted to President of
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Football Operations. He'll have oversight of the coaching staff and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the day to day so you know, a new GM
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: is going to report to him. The head coach and
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff will report to him like it all goes.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: He's at the top of the pyramid, like Brandon Bean
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: is running the show right now. And my issue with
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that is, again for the shortcomings of this team, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: thought Brandon Bean was very culpable and had a lot
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of blood on his hands, just like Sean McDermott. Did.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You know more reports have come out in the past
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: couple of days of them, you know, each reporting to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Pagula and each having decision making power and so on
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and so forth. But I kind of always just assumed that,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought they were in lockstep for a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: lot of years, we started to see some breadcrumbs a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: little bit that showed that they might not be. But
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: when it came to building this team and building this
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: roster on the field stuff, Yes, Sean McDermott is coaching
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: this team, developing or not developing this team, schematically running
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: this team, making the in game decisions, all of that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But when it came to building this team from an
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: identity standpoint, roster standpoint, philosophy standpoint, you got a bunch
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of Bean and you got a bunch of McDermott, and
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I thought they were just both culpable and each had
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: blood on their hands in the failures of this team,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and jettison ing Sean McDermott while leaving Brandon Bean to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: me makes it appear like, no, no, no, McDermott was at
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: fault for everything. All the bad stuff was because of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: McDermott being is fine, And who knows, Maybe that's what
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it is. Maybe all the bad roster moves, all the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: bad things that have plagued this team from a roster
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: construction standpoint, maybe they were all Sean McDermott. Maybe Bean's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: hands are clean, They're not, But who knows. Maybe they are.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe Bean has wanted to move in a different direction
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: schematically with the defense, but McDermott wanted to hold true
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to what they've been and so that's why we saw
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the players that were brought in for both of them
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: kind of in that regard or for the defense and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: offensively all of that. You know, I just think it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: hard to parse who was responsible for what. There was
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of collaboration. I think there was a lot
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: of like mindedness between the two obviously that kind of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they each went their separate ways literally and figuravely as
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the season kind of went on. But I think for again,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: for as many shortcomings as Sean McDermott has had, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: he does have them, I'm not here to say Sean
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: McDermott was innocent and he shouldn't have gotten fired. But
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I just think the optics of it are bad, especially
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: considering how much conversation was had this year, specifically on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the roster talent or not having talent, the receiver question,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: how prickly Bean was, you know, on the radio when
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it came to the receiver room, and then how much
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of a receiver, how much of a problem the receiver
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: room kind of was as the season went on, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: how we just bristled at that notion and how that looked.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I just think the optics of it are all bad,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you know, and I do think there is something to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: be said for you know, you know, if you want
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to keep being on kind of like how they kept
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: way Leon when McDermott took over, you know, do you
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: want to keep somebody on to have that consistency. And
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: then I was like, Okay, maybe they'll let Bean go
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: after the draft, but no, he's getting a promotion, Sean
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: mcdermot's out. I just think the optics of it are bad.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: From the outside they look bad. I think from within
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the fan base they look bad, and national media wise
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: they look bad. It all just really kind of comes
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: out of comes out as you know, Brandon Bean having
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Terry Pagoola's ear, whispering in that ear like the Lord
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of the Rings meme for the dude who king I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: should know this Faden, I think whatever, when he's essentially
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: kind of like a shell of himself and wormtung or
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: whatever is in his ear like whispering and like kind
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of controlling him and doing all that stuff, it kind
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of comes along almost gross like that, as if like
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Bean is up in the box with Terry Pagoula during
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a Bills game and something bad happens on the field
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and Bean leans over and is like, you know, see,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that's that's why I didn't want that guy. Sean wanted
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that guy. That guy that just dropped that pass. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: didn't want that guy. Sean wanted that guy. But I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: was trying to be nice to Sean and kind of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: give him what he wanted. And look at that guy
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: dropped that pass. That's that's a Sean McDermot guy. Somebody
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: missed the tackle, Being would and Terry would be like, oh,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: how come that guy missed the tackle, and being Will
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: be like, that's good. That's a Sean McDermott guy. That's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: why I didn't want that guy. I wanted somebody else,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: but Sean wanted that guy. It just the optics of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: it are just really ugly, really bad. And then you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: pair that with the press release and more reports coming
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: from you know, the players being super shocked and not
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: liking how it went down, different reports coming from the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: local media, and there's just optically it's just bad. It's ugly,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and I feel like Sean McDermott, you know, bears a
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: lot of the blame for this team not getting over
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the hump, but I also feel like Brandon Bean does
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: as well, and that's my biggest thing with all of them.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: My issue is necessarily Sean McDermott being fired. It's McDermott
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: being fired, being staying and being getting promoted because I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: just felt like they were both you could say equal,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you could say one over the other, but they were
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: both extremely culpable when it came to this team's shortcomings.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Both had a lot of blood on their hands, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it just optically, I just don't think this looks good
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and I don't like it just with how it's kind
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: of playing out. And again, even if you know, Bean
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: is going to really be, you know, more of a
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: true president overseeing everything right, and there's gonna be a
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: new GM, whether it's Terrence Gray, Brian Gain, Internal, or
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: somebody else. But if it's internal, they're probably gonna share
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of Bean's vision. Bean is still going to
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: be in charge of everything. At the end of the day,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: they're still reporting to Bean. So this team is really
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: gonna take on Brandon Bean's vision, and Brandon Bean's wants
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and desires, and then a new head coach that comes
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: in is going to have to be in lockstep with
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Bean and or is reporting to Bean. So, like, what
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: does that dynamic look like? Do coaches who are potentially
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: coming in and interviewing not like that dynamic? Do they
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: not want to report to Bean in that way? If
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: they have a different vision? You know, who knows? Maybe
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you know, for as much as people like Clint Kubiak,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: maybe he and Brandon Bean are just opposed in certain areas,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and so Clint Kubiak is like, no, thank you, Like
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn this down. I don't want to have
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to report to that guy. Or I just don't think
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: we click and vibe and see things the same same light.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: It just all kind of stacks and compels. And again,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: time will tell for everything right, time will really tell
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: how much of the problem with Sean McDermott. How much
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: of the problem was Brandon Bean? Can a new coach
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: fix everything? Was it certain players that were the problem?
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: How much turnover will we see with this roster? How
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: much churn will there be? You know, do they start
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to move in new directions? And even then you could
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: still play devil's advocate and be like, well, maybe Bean
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: is just doing this to placate the fans and make
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it seem like this and that there's just at the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it's just a lot of drama,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of poor optics, a lot of messiness and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: muddiness and murkiness, and a lot of things that I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: don't think contribute positively to a team and an organization
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that are trying to get to a Super Bowl. And again,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: who knows, Time will tell. Maybe this will be better
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six, Maybe it'll be better in the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: long run. Maybe this is the wound that had to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: be cleaned out so this team could move forward. Time
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: will tell. It's just I just think Brandon Bean deserves
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a good chunk of blamed, just like Sean McDermott deserves
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a good chunk of blame. And and yeah, and just
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the way it went down, how McDermot got fired, how
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the organization responded, I just didn't like the optics of it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: As a like a person, I just think, again, whether
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: you wanted Sean McDermott fired or not, I don't think
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a person should be treated that way or have such
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: a poor initial sendoff, especially one who has done so
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: much for this team. Again, the team didn't win the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, didn't accomplish what they wanted to. Sean McDermott
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: completely turned this team around, from a culture standpoint, from
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: an identity standpoint, from a free agent destination standpoint, to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: a veteran trying to win a chip type of standpoint,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: to rookies coming in and wanted to come to play
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo. He did a lot, and I think he
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: deserved a better send off. I think he deserved a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: better way out, you know, from a large scale perspective
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: with all the just and then just from logistically how
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: this team was built. I think him being both had
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: bloody hands in this regard. But chiefs Den, let's go
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: forward and see a bunch of comments as we go through.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Gage says, I'm so ready for a schematic change on defense.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Me too, Me too. We have no capital in the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: draft or cap, so I doubt it, but I'd love
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a hybrid or three four scheme. Lord, please give me
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: bend on the edge. I feel like this comment was
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: written for me. I don't think there's any one right
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: way to build a defense. But regular listeners of the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: show do know that, you know, Yeah, I'm more of
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a three to four guy. I'm more of a hybrid
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: defense type of dude. I do like bend on the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: edge and athleticism on the edge. And we'll see. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: think that's an interesting part with several of the head
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: coaching candidates we're gonna get into this episode with is
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: who they are schematically in philosophy and how that does
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: or doesn't jive with the current roster players they have
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and what the bills have been in the past. And
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting kind of inflection point potentially.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I wanted to skimatic change for years, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: we don't have a ton of capital or cap space.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: We can make some cap space. There are guys who
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: can be cut, moved, extended, all those things. We'll get
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: into that throughout the off season here on the show.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll kind of see, well kind of see
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: coming here from Forrest of Sleep saying I don't know
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: how Bean wins the room back. I think that's a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: fair comment, especially with again how everything looks optically right now.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It just seems I mean, you've got people out there
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: putting memes of like Brandon Bean and it says like
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: snake behind him, Like, that's that's how it comes across
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to the public at this point. And yeah, it's tough.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You know, perception is reality, and I feel that. I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: think that's a very poigtant comment Marty saying, do we
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: know the players are mad versus upset? I think the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: players are more shocked and or upset and how everything
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: went down with how McDermott was let go and the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: process of like and how things kind of played out.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you to find mad versus upset.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I think they are. I think they're I think they're
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: not pleased with how he was let go.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: I'll put it that way, Okay, Morris is I think
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: a lot of people are forgetting about a lot of
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: the good that being has done over his time the
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: last one to two years.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I've really heard his public image, but what preceded that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was really good. Yeah, I've never been you know, super
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: on that train. That Bean has done a horrible job.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: He's had a bunch of misses, but everybody kind of
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: has a bunch of misses. I would have liked more
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: impact players on this roster at a certain point, but
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I think he and Sean McDermott have done a really
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: good job creating a high floor type of team. Now
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: they necessarily haven't had the high ceiling guys, they haven't
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: had those A tier S tier type of guys. But
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I think I've done a pretty good job putting together
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a roster of B minus to be maybe some B
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: plus type of guys here and there. And my whole
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: thing again with isn't saying that Bean has done a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: horrible job. I do think there have been a lot
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of questionable moves by being just like I think there's
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: been a lot of questionable moves from McDermott. My whole
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: frustration with this situation was more of again, I think
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: they're equally culpable in the failures of this team, or
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: close to being not even if you don't think it's equal,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: they're both significantly holpable when it comes to the failures
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of this team or this team coming up short and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: getting rid of one and not getting rid of the other.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: To me just doesn't seem right considering again how culpable,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you know, how significantly culpable they each are. But yeah,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I think Bean has done some good, just like he's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: done some bad, which is even can make that case
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: for a lot of GMS. Nobody has one hundred percent
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: hit rate anywhere for anything. R J saying tomorrow's presser
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: will be the most listened to presser in the history
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: of sports. Yeah, I'm already trying figure out my workday
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and what I can do to kind of get on
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: some things. Uh By fireplays on MC. We were going
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to talk about that my top three head coach which
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: list we're going to get into that. Don't do this,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Kate Morriy Kmorey says Belichick, Gruden and Tomlin, Right, just kidding, No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Claus As, I spent all Sunday avoiding media. I've spent
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of time avoiding everything. I still haven't even
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: finished the tape. I haven't wanted to watch the tape.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I've just been going to bits and pieces here and
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: there in different moments. Yeah, I really haven't wanted to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: do anything. I don't even want to watch the game Sunday.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Everything that's going on, it's just it all sucks. Question here,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: is Josh required to do an end of season meeting
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: with the media. I don't know if required is the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: right word or I can say required, but he usually
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: does something. He has been very quiet. We'll see. I
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: think at some point he needs to say something just
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: because of his status on the team and who he
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is and what he is. Got our first Clint Kubiak
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: mentioned here. Jeffery says one Shanahan trade, two Bruce Arians
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: three Davis web Oh, Shannahan trade is interesting. Gage, just
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: give me Shula. We're gonna talk about Shula in this episode.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: R J saying I think the correct move was either
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: fire Bean or fire Bean and McDermott this was the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: worst option where the untalented snake is still here. It's
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: like we lost the culture and still have a bad GM.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: By ba Fa fair point. I'm already saying Shanahan would
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: be interesting if he wouldn't probably require first. I would
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: take Kyle Shanahan and a heartbeat. I don't want to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: have to give up picks for a coach, but I
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: really do value Kyle Shanahan a lot. By Eric saying
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Clint with aident I always mispronounced dirt A's or Dird's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: like last name. But yeah, So Clint Kootbiack essentially with
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks defensive coordinator and then saying Carl Scott or
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz is a name of people. A lot of
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: him bringing that up, his name up a lot, came Moore.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: He's saying, Mike mcganil doing better with Herbert than two
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: would be a huge few to the Miami organization. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Jason saying, wait until McDaniel finds out how slow Herbert's
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: feet and movements are. Yeah, but his eyes are fast,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: his processing is fast, and he got a cannon cannon
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: cannon cannon, Bill saying everything is on Bean now. He
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: has no more scapegoats. His drafts and free agent signings
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: have been poor at best. He better hit on this
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: or the mafia is going to be out of their minds. Ye.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Fair point. Also, and again that's part of the optics too,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like you put yourself more under the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: microscope because I don't think this is a move that
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And again I don't know how they thought it was
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: going to be perceived. But if they thought like, okay,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: well let go Sean McDermott, and people think like, oh okay,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: he must have been the problem. And if anything, it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: been like a complete one eighty, like you've almost galvanized
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: everybody behind McDermott because you fired McDermott and kept beat
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah Jose saying are we ever going to win a
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I need hope, but I just don't have
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: hope anymore. I don't know, man. I just want hope too.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I just want one before I die. That's it. Not
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to get too dramatic or anything. I just want one
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: before I die. I want to share a Super Bowl
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: with the older adults in my family that I grew
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: up watching the Bills with as a little kid. You
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: never know life is again, not to get too deep
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: or anything, but life is so fleeting and you never
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: know what can happen with anyone, and not even the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: older adults, like the people that my family and friends
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and loved ones who are are Bills fans. I want
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to share in that and experience that, and you never
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: know when your last on earth could be. And I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: want the Bill. I want to Bill super Bowl so bad.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: As a Bills fan, I'm a I'm a bigger football
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: fan than I am a Bills fan, and so I
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: can still find things to appreciate in the game even
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: when the Bills lose or when the Bills come up
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: short and I enjoy the free agent process and the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: evaluation process of college football and all of that. But yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I want to build Super Bowl so bad man, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know I did. This was another one The
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Bill's lost again, not to get too off the rails,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the Bill's lost to Denver, and I just I just
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: kind of stared into the void, like just staring at
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the wall. I like, I just felt so empty again
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: in a way that I had in a while. Thirteen
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: seconds kind of killed a lot of my fandom and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: crushed my soul and spirit. This one also kind of
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: got me a bit, just all the turnovers, the way
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: it ended, you had just blah blah blah. Let's go through.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Are just saying that division of the AFC West is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: going to be an absolute nightmare next year to face.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I bet we win against Las Vegas and that's it. Yeah,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: watch but watch Las Vegas get like Sean McDermott and
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza and then go on a run or something crazy.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Um bum bum bum. Michael saying this might ow another
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Shannan comment. This might be wild, but what are the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: chances Shanahan could be available with the Niners? They have
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: an aging roster one year left. His dad always got Lway,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: his dad got elweyh his Kyle could get it. For Josh,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he would get the respect. I just don't think the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Niners are gonna part ways with Shanahan, especially with all
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the injuries this team had this this past year and
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: they still managed to be a final four team into
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the NFC. Yeah, I know it's tough. Joey saying that
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Minter would be his top choice. We're going to talk
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: about mister Jesse Mincher. I always want to say Mike Mincher,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the former safety for the Panthers, but that is not right.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Fair uh comment here from Wiley's saying, I don't think
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: we know enough just yet. As for the inside politics,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: that's fair. There are a lot of inter Even with
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: things being reported, there's still a lot of inner workings
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that we don't know, which will be interesting to kind
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of see what happens with the presser tomorrow. Oh, Caleb
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: saying I really like Brian Flores. Would love him on
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the cast, even if it's just a coordinator position. Man.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I love his attack style, defense and the quarters pressures
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and everything he does. That would be kind of cool.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: But I think he's I don't know. I feel like
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: people are wary of him because if I was ten
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: year ended in Miami and just everything that kind of
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: came about after it. But I said, maybe a month
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: or so ago, I would not be opposed to Flores.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's likely, but I would not
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: be opposed to Florus. Jeremy saying Bean saved his job
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: by getting rid of McDermott. Now Bean's head and ego
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: will only get bigger. Fair. Yeah, I do think he
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: kind of politiced a bit and was doing the whispering
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: in the ear to kind of buddy up to Peoogla
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and kind of save himself, which is what it is.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Daniel sam Bean deserved more blame, especially this season, Bob
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: more of the way it happened. I thought a chain
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: was needed, but the process left a lot to be
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: desired being being promoted just reeks. I think it's a
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: very succinct way to put it. Yeah, I'm not I'm
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: not completely upset that McDermott got fired. I'm more just
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the way it went down and being staying and all
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Oh hey, Ann, would we be
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: as mad as we are today about McDermott if he
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: was let go last year, I don't know. Again, I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: think I think a lot of the feelings of people
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: being mad isn't really because of McDermott being let go.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: It's how he was let go and being staying. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: think that's the big point. I don't think a lot
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: of people are up in arms like, oh McDermott was
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: an amazing coach. You know, maybe they are a little
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: bit because the emotion of how frustrated they are. But
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's more of how he was let go
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and being staying and the optics of it all more
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: than anything. But that's a tough that's a really good
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: question though, that's a really good question. Com being common here,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I hated that being stays he gave mcdee a bucket
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: of rusty screws and striped nuts. Like, if we bring
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: in a good OC as a head coach, what will
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: we have to work with. I think Bean's ego is
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: an issue. I'm a Marty saying I don't mind that
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: people got fired. I just don't understand how being survived. Also,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: their responses took too long.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Another comment here. I think it's a lot more likely
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that the Bills do worse than McDermott than better, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: then a shoulder struggle momoji. Yeah, you never know what
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you get on the other side, you get a new
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: head coach. Could be immensely better. You could be a
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: tiny bit better, you could be even, You could be worse,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: you could be way worse. Never know. Life is like
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a box of chocolate. Yeah. Comment from Forrest to sleep
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the tribute seemed to daylight a dollar short. Yeah, Camp
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: saying the best guy on the market is McDermott, Just
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: go get him. Oh good line from Bob Bob saying
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: admirable is for a fifty to fifty coach, not a
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: coach who rebuilt the culture. Jason saying it's not a
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: championship roster like being I'm very concerned about being being
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: in charge of football operations. Ah, that's fair. Will saying
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the interesting thing has been the silence on what Allan
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: thinks of this. No leaks of either he hated or
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: this is what he wanted, complete silence. I would imagine
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they checked with him. I don't know. I don't try
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to speculate too much on that kind of stuff, like
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: or kind of it. It's so muddy, but I would
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: imagine they checked with him. I would think maybe not,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Com and saying listen to the fire
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: McDermott crowd and now completely melt down. It's funny to me.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Are j saying they should have came out today and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: apologize for how it was all handled. They didn't do that. Yeah,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: in this comment here, seriously so embarrassing. I'm just joining.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: But the fact that they didn't post McDermott's no either.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: The fact that I think Tom Pelsero posted it. That's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: where I co tweeted it from. And yeah, I wasn't
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: on the bill's official page. Really unfortunate. Dan Jeremy saying
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: nine years and McDermott for that flaky letter with a
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: slap in the face. Uh yeah, comment here? Is it
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: not a little scary knowing who's guiding the ship as
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the Patriots are Super Bowl bold? I don't even want
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: to open that door. But yeah, Claude saying mcdee was
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: consistently out coached, so he could have been fired at
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: any point after thirteen seconds. But if he's gone, Bean
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: should definitely be gone. He failed the cap, draft and
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: free agency. He failed Josh and McDermott very succinctly put.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I think that is a very fair comment and kind
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: of where my mind is at as well. Like McDermot
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: could have been gone at any point. I do think
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: he got out coached in a bunch of ways and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: or didn't kind of mitigate things as much as he
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: could have as he could have at times. But yeah,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: if he's gone, Bean should also be gone, and especially
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: this season, having this season to be the one where
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I felt like they had a lot of injuries and
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: cobbled stuff together and be McDermott still made to do
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: some good things even though he still has bad things.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Like always again, it's it's such a messy ball. But
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's fair. It's a fair way to
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: kind of put it all. Charles saying, yeah, with being
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: getting promoted, does his name a GM. If so, Terrence
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Gray had some overlap of Kubiak and Minnesota. Yeah, we
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: talked about that on the show yesterday. I do think
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it's gonna end up being my thoughts being as president
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of Football Operations. And then after after the draft it
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: becomes official where Terrence Gray or Brian Gain or somebody
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: is named the GM. But then again, like, are they
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: really the GM is more just a shadow position and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: they're really just doing the bidding of Bean, and Bean
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: is still pulling the strings and running the show. That's
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: my bigger thing. Like if it's an internal hire, especially
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: one that was brought in by Bean and developed under
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Bean and spent a lot of time with Bean, you're
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: it's still Braindon Bean one because he's still here. Two,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: he's still the big boss who the GM is reporting.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Two Three it's still a guy from his tree. So
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: it's still Braindon Bean. Even if they bring in another
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: GM and it's internal, Are they name a GM and
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: it's internal? To me, it's still braining be Daniel saying,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: how do you put together the Bills week bottofy wide
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: receiver group but once again have a D line with
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: almost no pass rush and bad against the run and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: get a promotion? Get a promotions at all caps no
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: offensive weapons, no defensive weapons and yeah, and then it
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: was funny too to see the report from Ian Rapaport
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: on NFL Network yesterday where he was talking about, you know, like,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: oh McDermott, you know is done well, but it's time
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: for him to go. You know. He mentioned how the Bills.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: This Bill's team with so many weapons, and how teams
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: around the league veiled that view them as being stocked
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: full of talent, and it was like, okay, yeah, okay, okay, what.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, Bob says, the Savers are up four to
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Oh that's very good to know. I'm recording that game,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: so I'm excited to go and watch that. That's nice too.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: They're gonna put up all the goals that they can
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: uh engage, saying, God, please give me anutside linebacker get
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to the QB in the playoffs. I am scrolling through
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: comments as we are going through, Well, I appreciate everyone.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I appreciate everyone's for being in here, and if you're
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: willing and able, please and thank you drop alke on
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: this video. Likes go a long way. But I'm also
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: kind of saying that as I scroll through and read,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: because I'm looking it's really it's nine forty two real time.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I'm at nine to twenty in the comments, So it's awesome.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: How many people we have in here, live over four
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: hundred people, that's super cool. And all the comments are
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: coming through, like I really wish I could just sit
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and read every single one apologies if I don't. There's
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: so many comments. Everybody's crushing it tonight. I appreciate everyone.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Ah William coming through worm worm tongue and theadan. Oh okay,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I was right, thedan, okay, cool king theadan, yep, all
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: right cool. I was there and it was warm toung
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: alright cool. But yeah, now I'm at nine twenty two
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: in the comments, so I'm trying. There's a lot of comments.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: You guys are absolutely crushing it. Guys and girls, whoever's there,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: in all fairness of this one, so this comment Von
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Miller was the death blow. He was supposed to get
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: us over the thirteen second hump, and all fairness with that,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I think von Miller did deliver. He just tore his
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: acl like. I thought that was a good signing. He
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: was every bit the closer he was supposed to be.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: He just got hurt, which is unfortunate. Yeah, comment here,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: are you superstitious about predicting a head coach like giving
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: a score prediction? Do you think not getting over the
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: hump is fifty to fifty McBean or one is more
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to blame? I am superstitious about predicting a head coach
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: like a score prediction. Thank you very much for knowing me. Do.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I think not getting over the hump is fifty to
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: fifty for me. It's tough because I don't know how
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: much of the roster construction and roster building was Bean
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: or McDermott or both in conjunction with one another, Like
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much ko Key on Coleman, for example,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: did both of them think that was a great pick?
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Or did Bean think it was great? Or did McDermott
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: think it was great? Like which moves did each one
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: pound the table? For which moves? Did they both pound
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the table? For? You know, how much was McDermott involved
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: in any kind of extension moves or free agent dollars
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and cap structure? You would think that most of that
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: is all being how much did they really talk? Obviously
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: there's obviously there's overlap. Obviously there's collaboration, And that's my
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: whole thing. Like it's so muddy. Both of their hands
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: are bloody, they're both culpable. I think not getting over
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the hump for me, just because I have questions about
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the roster and the on field stuff both. I think
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: it's fifty to fifty just based off of what. I
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: believe their roles and relationship to be equally having successes,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: equally having failures shortcomings. I think maybe you could push
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: into fifty five forty five one way or the other,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't fight you. You can Devil's advocate that
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a good chunk. But I think it's pretty close to
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty, which again is where a lot of
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: my frustration comes from, because I even if it's fifty
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: five to forty five, that's still pretty close. Even if
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: it's sixty forty again, and I don't think I don't
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: think it goes past sixty forty, Like that's at the
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: highest whether you think it's sixty forty McDermott or sixty
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: forty bean, that's at the high end of it. For me.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: I just think they're that culpable kind of equally mhmm
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: b b ba yep. VN was doing awesome until he
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: got hurt.
• 43:11

• 43:48
  Speaker 1: If there's something I did not get to, I am now, wow,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: you have no idea how much I've just been scrolling, scrolling,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: scrolling to finally get to kind of where we are. Oh,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: in fair common here from James. It just came. It'll
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see who replaces Aaron Kromer. I keep
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: forgetting Aaron Kromer retired and he's been a huge part
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: of success for this team. Things are kind of just
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: falling all over. Uh. Yeah. If there's something I did
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: not get to that you commented, feel free to put
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: it up into the chat again. I'll see it as
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I can get to kind of go from there. If
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: there's something you really want to get at me, get
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: at me on Twitter at pro underscore underscore an, get
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: at me on Blue Sky at pro ant no one
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: to scores there, just pro o A and T tweet

• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Get at me in the discord if you're a Discord member,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: If you're one of the insiders for the cover one stuff.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: If you again, there were so many comments if I
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: feel terrible, but if I went through every single comment,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: we're going to be here until like one am, which
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: we kind of could do. But yeah, and again I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: appreciate everybody coming in. These comments have been awesome. I
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: just want to sit. Honestly, I shouldn't have even prepared
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: a head coach. Think we should have just had a
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: whole live chat session on the McDermott firing and being
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: promotion and gone from there. I like that there was
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: a comment I wanted to get to from Forrest's Lee,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: what do you think of the medical reports and how
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: that was handled. I did think this was interesting. I
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: think McDermott said all that stuff funneled into Bean, which
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: was why when he was asked about injury stuff, he
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: was kind of just being like, oh, what I'm told
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: or what I think, Like he didn't really know. I
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: think that's terrible, Like he should have an equal hand
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: in that he should know the injury status and injury
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: report status for his players and for his team. Again,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: just messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Brian for being here and for
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: your super chat. I'm assuming you or maybe you just
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: wanted to give out of the kindness of your heart,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: but maybe you had a question or a thought that
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: went with a super chat. If you did, you don't
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: have to give another super chat. Just put your next
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: comment into the chat and I'll read it because I'll
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: assume that that was the one that was supposed to
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: come with the super chat. Or if you just wanted
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to give a super chat, I'll take it and I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you very much. This is a good comment.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Jose Do you think Josh Allen has so much scar
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: tissue when it comes to gut wrenching losses that it's
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: going to affect him heavily the rest of his career
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Yes, I think there's something to be
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: said for not even just Alan in general. I think
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: there's something to be said for building scar tissue and
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: having wounds, and you know, building calluses all these kind
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of proverbials and how it toughens you and hardens you
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and gets you experience and all that kind of stuff. Right,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I do think there's a certain point where it jumps
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the shark a bit, and then it becomes more of
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: a hindrance than it does, like a character building type
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: of moment. I don't know what that is for everybody.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: It's different for everybody, for teams, for individuals, all that
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Oh, thank you, Brian, I appreciate it.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Brian said, not just a tip, just a tip, nothing
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: at a smiley face. I appreciate you, Brian. I think
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: you're very much. Yeah. I think at a certain point,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: all that scar tissue and all that losing, you know,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I think it gets to a point where it's like
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: character Bill's character, Bill's character, Bill's character, and then you
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: start to go down the roller coaster as opposed to
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: keep going up and ascending. At a certain point, it
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: breaks you, I think, you know, to someone else's point though,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: who came in and said it. You know Lway, you
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: know this comment from from Steve Elway lost multiple super
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Bowls and got through it. Steve Young, you know, had
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: a bunch of challenges. You know, takes over from Montana.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: He has the famous you know, wins the super Bowl
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: and then he's like, you know, take this monkey off
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: my back. You know, he was feeling so much pressure
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: for that franchise, So there there is ways to get
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: it done right eventually. But I also think too, just
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: in general, like it's so hard to win a championship
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: in any sport, Like you have to be good and
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you have to have luck on your side, like the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: stars really do have to align for any team to
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, in a championship in any sport,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and even get even with this Bills team not to
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: kind of get to you know, focus in or hone
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: in on the Broncos game. Five turnovers right, some poor
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: throws and decisions from Allen, right, you know, giveaways that
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: get led directly to points for the Broncos, missed opportunities
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: and capitalizations, multiple you know, muddy calls from the raft,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: and they still lost by three in overtime, even with
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: all these things going wrong, even with the roster not
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: having a bunch of studs or dudes on it, even
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: with all the injuries and all the poor performances in games,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: and as limited as McDermot or Bean might be or
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Babbitte or Brady or whoever, they barely lost in this game.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: And I know this isn't like you know, close only
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: counts and horseshes and grenades. I know that this isn't
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: a silver lining type of deal, but think about how
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: all these things went wrong or not even put in
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: an air quotes did go wrong, and they just barely
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: lost like they could easily be in the AFC Championship
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: this week, which is what makes this loss even more
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: painful and more hurtful. You never know, just takes a
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: couple of bounces going your way. But I do think
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: the good teams figure out the way to make the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: ball bounce in their favor more often than not. But yeah,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: that Allen piece, who knows. Maybe it scars him too much.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's some of the sticks in his head and
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: every time he gets into the playoffs, it's in the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: back of his mind and he presses a little too much.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Well we'll kind of see a little bit. But uh yeah,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I do think. I do think it's something that eventually
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: you have so much scar tissue. Eventually you jump the
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: shark and you start to you start to go downhill
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: for it, and it's it's instead of old building, character building,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: character building character eventually it kind of guts you. I
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: just think that's just human nature. It's got to it's
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: hard to just constantly get kicked in the teeth over
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: and over again and keep coming back for more. It's tough,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: very tough. All right. Now, we're gonna dive into some
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: head coach candidate stuff. I wanted to as I say this,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Oh I forget there was a you know, if somebody
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: in the chant wants to do me a huge solid.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: There was multiple people will put out like tweets of
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: like the Bills head coaching odds. Not that that necessarily
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: matters like completely, you know, because the betting sites are
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: betting sites and individual people or individual people like whatever.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: But there's some interesting names on those lists. I was
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: gonna reference it a little bit, but the first name
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to start with here, it's Seattle Seahawks offensive
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: coordinator Clint Kubiak. Jeremy White of w g R tweeted
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: yesterday something to the tune of, you know a little
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: birdie who you know, the same little birdie who told
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: him Sean McDermott was gonna get fired. That same little
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: birdie told him like that move was made with Clint
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Kubiak in mind. So Clint Kubiak, that's the one who
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: are gonna lead off with someone who I like. I
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned him early in the season, maybe like octoberish in
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: terms of what I like they were doing. And I
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: like this comment here from any Trail boss saying my
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: favorite was solid, but that's not happening. I also I
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: also liked Robert Sala. I think he got a raw
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: deal in New York. I think he's a good defensive mind.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's able to kind of, you know, mold
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: with his players and what's available. But he's gone. So yeah,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak, offensive coordinat Seattle Seahawks, somebody who has been
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: you know, the odds are in his favor from the
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: betting sites of being the next potential Bills head coach.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's multiple sites with him as like the
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: best betting odds. Again, I'm not putting that out there
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: as like, so that's why I think he's gonna be
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: the coach. I just think that's interesting. But yeah, that
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Jeremy White note I think was really really really interesting
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: for those who don't know, kind of go to his
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: last stops. Twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, he was the
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Vikings QB coach. He was the Vikings offensive coordinator in
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. He was then the pass game coordinator
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: and quarterbacks coach for the Broncos in twenty twenty two,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: the Niners passing game coordinator in twenty twenty three, the
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Saints offensive coordinator in twenty twenty four, and then the
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks coordinator here this year in twenty twenty five.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: I've watched a ton of Seahawks tape this year, offensively
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: and defensively, because I like what they do offensively and
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I like what they do defensively. Plus I like a
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: lot of dudes that they have. I love Kenneth Walker
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: coming out of the draft. JSN obviously is a monster,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: but Zach Sharp, he's a cool running back. Sucks that
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: he tore his a cl but they got some cool
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen and then defensively, just a bunch of dudes
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: in a really cool scheme. So I watched a bunch
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: of Seahawks tape this year and kind of in in October,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: like it was kind of floated. Something on the show
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: was like, Oh, you know, who's the name that you
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: would you know, look out for if Sean mcdermock got fired,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: if you had to pick an offensive guy. I was like, oh,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Klink Kumbyak would be kind of cool, young up and
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: coming offensive mine talk about some pros and cons for him.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: So pros he comes from that Shanahan offense. I think
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: that's a pro because of how successful it is, how
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: CB friendly it is, and again very much in that
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Shanahan mold, which honestly is tied to his dad, Gary
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Kubiak working with you know, Shanahan's dad, Mike Shanahan, and
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: how they were on lockstep with everything. So it was
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, chicken and egg thing. But Clint Kubiak,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: you know Shanahan offense formational and personnel manipulation and dictating
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: to a defense. So you are using condensed formations, You're
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: using tight ends, full backs, all that kind of stuff
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: to kind of force defenses into looks that you want
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: and then using whatever they do against them. If they
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: don't match the heavies, you're running it down their throat.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: If they do match the heavies, your heavies are still
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: a bit athletic, and so you could use that to
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: generate some explosives. Jason says, with the Kubiak scheme be
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: good for James Cook. I do think, so, you know,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Kubiak Shanahan all that type of deal outside zone. You know,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: tack ties back to the Alex Gibbs Mike Shanahan days.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Everything is outside zone. A lot of zone running that
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: pairs well with the bootlegs and the play action. I
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: think Kubiak also does a really good job of marrying
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the run in the past, as most Shanahan you know
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: disciples do. But yeah, James Cook at Georgia was great
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: as a zone runner and that's really what he was
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: coming coming out and coming into Buffalo, him progressing as
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: a gap scheme runner. So all the you know, the
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: blast counter stuff this year or the tackle poll stuff
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: that is, you know, whether it's you know tackle you know,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: wrapping through or it's the long trap type of stuff
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: where they're kicking out the edge. That's a gap scheme run. Technically,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Duo is a gap scheme run. It's power without a puller,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: but it kind of has some zone principles to it
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: from a track perspective. But yeah, I think James Cook
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: would excel in his zone scheme. You know, think of
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: all those mid zone runs, you know, mid zone week
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: where you know there's like three guys over here to
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: the right side of the line and they run to
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the left and Cook bends it back. You know, whether
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: it's a one cut or a two cut, he cuts
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: it all the way back and bends it. Yeah, I
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: think he would be uh successful h in that scheme
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: one thousand percent. So yeah, Shanahan or not shannaan kubiakmar
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say formational and personnel manipulation and dictation,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Like I talked about heavy personnel to generate explosives, you know,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: going heavy to go, play action and take shots down
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the field, especially on early downs. Outside zone, marrying the
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: run in the past, building counters off of that outside
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: zone again, a lot of times in the forms of
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: play action marrying the run in the past, a lot
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: of bootlegs, getting the quarterback on the move. Think of
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: what Kyle Shanahan does with Brock Perdy, Think of what
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Klint Kubiak has done with Sam Darnold. All the play
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: action stuff under center, run game under center, play action,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: marrying those two, getting your quarterback on the move, layered
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: passing concepts right into flood zones and create high lows
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and put defenders in conflict. Good stuff there. The biggest
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: question for me is you know, he doesn't have head
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: coaching experience. He's been an offensive coordinator three times, you know,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: once in Minnesota again in twenty twenty one, in New
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Orleans last year in twenty twenty four, and then Seattle
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: this past season in twenty twenty five. So each time
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: he's been an offensive coordinator, he went somewhere else after.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I believe for regime changes each time. So in Minnesota,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: you know, some Minnesota is the OC in twenty twenty one,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: then he's in Denver, he's the Saints OC last year.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Now he's in Seattle. So you don't really necessarily know
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: what's he going to be like year after you're building, developing, teaching,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: how sustainable everything is? Right? Can he develop players? Can
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: he build and layer and grow a scheme along with
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: the players and or the players? Also? Can he manage
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: a team as a people manager like a coach needs
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: to do. I think that's something gets lost in the
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: sauce a lot when you think about what a coach is.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: You know so much against me, especially right like I
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: watch a ton of tape and all that stuff. Everything
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: for me is x's and o's scheme and structure. But
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: there's still like a people manager element to being a
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: head coach, a coordinator in general position coach as well,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: but especially a head coach. You have to be a
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: people manager. You got to know your ex's and o's,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: but you also have to be a people manager. And
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: some guys lean one way or the other. Right, Some
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: guys are heavy x's and o's and they're so great
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: at it that nothing else matters. Some guys are such
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: great people managers and they let the x's and o's
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: guys take care of everything, or they're able to identify
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: those guys and go from there. But we don't know,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: you know, can he manage a team? I also just
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: from the vibes of him, like as where he's been
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: and like what his dad was like to like and
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: just in general, we don't know. Is he the type
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: of guy who's like your quote unquote like leader of men?
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Is he the type of person that commands people's attention?
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Is he that people leader? Does he have it in him?
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know. So those are the biggest cons for me.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: You know, one just not having a head coaching experience. Two,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: you know, what does he offer as like a you know,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: leader and commander? Two And then three, Yeah, you know,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: he's at a different stop every year, Like, we don't
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: know what year two of that Vikings offense would have
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: looked like, or you're two of the Saints offense, or
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe we don't know what year two of
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. I don't know why I said it,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: like that, what year two of the Seahawks offense will
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: look like if he leaves and goes to Buffalo or
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: go someone else, And just Chris says here, we need
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: someone who's been a head coach before. I think it's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: a fair point. You know, you especially now you know,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: to write the ship. Do you want someone who's shown
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: the ability to write the ship or steer the ship before?
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Or also kind of playing into that, knowing Bean is
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: running the ship as the president of football operations and
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: everything is funneling up to him, does it make it
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: more likely that you do get a first time head
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: coach because it's somebody who doesn't necessarily know the ways
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: of the world and is more comfortable. Would Kubiak be
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: more comfortable coming in and taking this job than, you know,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: than Robert Salah would have because sala is, like, you
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: know what I've done this before. I don't need to
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: report to this guy in this manner. I don't need
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: this type of structure, so on and so forth. Does
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: an unproving guy like Kubiak say, you know what, Yeah,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: like I would like somebody to kind of oversee everything
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: so I can focus on the x's and so on
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: and so forth. But I think that's a fair point.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: This comment. Kubiak would be a great admiral. Well done,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: well done overall, I do like kling Kubiak. He I
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: also want to say this too, I think the Bills
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: go offense with their head coach. I think they go
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: in that vein of the Andy Reid, Zach Taylor, Sean McVay,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: shanahan type of deal where their head coach is, the
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator is the play caller. Whoever their offensive coordinator
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: is is really just kind of funneling into him. I think.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I do think they lean offense. Whoever they go with
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: in this coaching cycle, I do think they lean offense.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: I think Kubiak makes a lot of sense for them.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I also think from a personnel standpoint, he fits a
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: lot with what they do, especially with what he's done
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: this year. Multiple tight end looks heavy personnel under center
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I formation type of stuff like, it would be a
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: pretty seamless transition with the personnel they already have. Offensively,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be something where you know, you're not really
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: gonna see his offense until year two or three because
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: they have to gut everything that they have and they
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: got to bring in the right body types or the
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: right skill sets. So yeah, I think I do think
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: they lean offense. I think Kubiak makes a lot of
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: sense with how they're already built. And yeah, I think
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: I think the Bills kind of we're seeing that a lot. Right,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: A lot of teams are just going in the offensive
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: mind direction as they have the you know, really for
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: a while in terms of going with that, And again,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: I do think it makes sense for the Bills because
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: you also think if you're going with a defensive head coach,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: although I personally like that as well, if you go
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: to the defensive head coach, you're probably thinking, you know,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: if Allen does his thing in the offense, does this thing,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator is probably getting turned out every two
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: to forty years because teams are gonna be like, wow,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: that offense looks great, let's pluck that guy and then
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: you constantly have to change the offensive coordinator, Whereas if
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: you have an offensive coordinator head coach who's running the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: who's running the place and running the show on that
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, you don't have to necessarily do
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: that as much, and maybe you don't worry about your
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator getting plucked as much from there. But yeah,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I like Kubiak. I've liked him for a while. I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: watched a ton of Seahawks tape this year. I like
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: the Shanahan tree. I want to piece that Shanahan tree
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo. It's part of why I wanted Mike McDaniel
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: as the Bill's OC. So yeah, this next one, Chris
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Shula defensive coordinator, Los Angeles Rams. I want to say this.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I do think Kubiak is my oh old non. We
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: got another super chat. Thank you very much for beinger
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: thinking for the super Chat. The comments is Philip Rivers
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: just saying I appreciate you, I appreciate you. You want Philip
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Rivers' is like head coach. I kind of don't hate it.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: He's so fiery, and you know, he knows, he knows,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: he's a people leader. He's got like seventy five kids,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: and he knows how to write the ship there. That's funny.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know how serious you are now with him,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of funny. I like that, Chris Shula.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: I want to say this is as far as an
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: individual and not thinking of whoever else comes with him. Granted,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: like maybe Clink Kubiak brings again the defensive coordinator from
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Seattle whose name my butcher all the time. Maybe he
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: brings him just in saying the Bills can't hire a Shula. Yeah,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: it's in the league bylaws. That's fair. Yeah, Krishula is
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: the grandson of a legendary Dolphins head coach Shula, so
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: you know fair enough there. That's funny. So who knows
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: who Kubiak brings with him as his defensive coordinator? You know,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: maybe he likes Babbage and he keeps him. But I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: would assume he would bring Seattle Seahawks defensive staff with him,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: which is cool. Could you get some of that McDonald
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: tree potentially in your building in your defense which would
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: be awesome, although McDonald is really the straw that stirs
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: the drink and a lot of the horses that they have.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: But we would see who Kubiak would bring in what
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I really like about Chris Sula, and I like some
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: things about him individually, but part of what my perfect
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: storm is with Chrishula is if he were so he's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator for the Rams, if he were to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: come in and be your head coach, my hope and pairing,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: and this is like my one B to Kubiak being
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: the one A, especially now that salas off the board.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: If Shula came in as the head coach, and then ah,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: it's pronounced dirty Okay, So that is the last name
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: pronunciation of the Sea oxens acordator. I've heard it multiple times,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: and I never know what source to trust, even like
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: some team based interviews will kind of get it wrong
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: initially and then I'm like, oh, how do I want to
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: go around? So thank you very much for that. I
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: appreciate you, and also I'm gonna put my faith in
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: you and trust that you're right, because as far as
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I know, you could be completely making it up and
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: you might be wrong yourself, but I'm gonna trust you
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate you. Yeah, So maybe Kubiak brings Dirty
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: in with him, the defensive coordinator from Seattle, But My
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: thought with the Rams is Chris Shula comes in right
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator from the Rams, he's your head coach. Then
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator I'm hoping would be Nate Shieldhause, who is
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: the passing game coordinator for the Rams right now McVeigh
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: student Tree disciple doing all the drawings and mockups and
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: everything that Liam Cohen was doing a couple of years ago,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I've mentioned she Ass's name for
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: a while. It got actually mentioned, got first brought up
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: in the chat. I forget who and if whoever's watching it.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: If you're here and you were that person, let me
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: know I might recognize the handle. Somebody brought up Shieldhouse
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: back in like October or November here on the show
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: when I was talking about Kubiak, and I was and
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: I remembered him at Ohio State, and I forgot that
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: he was the pass game coordinator with the Rams and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: with McVeigh. So he's not a full o. See, And
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot of logistical sense, like
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: it would be cool, but I also think it's realistic.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Like Shula comes over, he's probably going to bring somebody
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: from that RAMS staff. I don't think he's going to
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: take Michael Fleurr, who's the current offensive coordinator with the Rams, right,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: you would take somebody else, So you would take like
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach or the wide receivers coach, or the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: passing game coordinator who is shiel House. That would be
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: pretty sweet. So I would take Chris Shula as the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: head coach. He runs the defensive side, and then Nate
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Schelhouse is your offensive coordinator, who I really like. That
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: goes back to was Iowa State days, which is what
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: I really remembered him. And then once I realized he
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: was at the RAMS these past couple of years, I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I like it even more now. Again,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: what we talked about a couple of minutes ago, this
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: means in theory right, like because Shielhaus also got interviewed
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: by the Ravens for a head coaching position last week,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: and again he's just a passing game coordinator with the Rams.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: So that shows you what kind of how he's thought
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: about in the league circles. That he's a passing game
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: coordinator a couple of years ago, was the you know,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: the Iowa State offensive coordinator, and now he's sitting there
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: kind of getting head coaching interview spots as a thirty
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: five year old. Again, even just going back through so
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: at Iowa State, starting in twenty eighteen, running backs coach,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: wide receivers coach, running game coordinator, slash running backs and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: wide receivers coach. Then in twenty twenty three he was
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: the OC and the QB coach. Then twenty twenty four
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: he goes to the Rams offensive assistant and pass game specialist.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Then this past year he was the past he's been
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: the pass game coordinator for the Rams. That just shows
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: you how highly thought of he is that he doesn't
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: necessarily have this stocked out resume and he got a
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: head coaching interview. He is the type of guy who
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: I think like he could come with Shula if that's
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: the move that happens, right, and then Chiahas might be
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: gone in twenty twenty seven or maybe even twenty twenty
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: eight at the latest. And again you're I think that's
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: highly likely for that specific scenario, but also I think
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: it somebod you're gonna have to deal with. If you
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: go with the defensive head coach, you're gonna have that
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: churnet offensive coordinator where Josh Allen and the offense does
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: its thing, and so every year or two teams are
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: coming around and kicking the tires on your offensive coordinator
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: to get head coaching interview opportunities. I mean, look at
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady. Joe Brady has interviewed with what, the Dolphins,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Raiders. I think I've lost count of
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: like all the names I've seen him associated with, Like,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady's gotten a ton of interviews when a lot
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: of Bills fans think he's terrible, but because of the
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: association with this offense, and again I don't think he's
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: as terrible as everybody makes him out to be. I
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: also don't think he's as great as some people made
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: him out to be. But that kind of relationship and
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: association with Allen in this offense is gonna get your
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator interviews. So you're gonna run into that with
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: anybody that is a defensive based head coach when it
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: comes to Shula individually, a lot of movement defensively, five
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: down overload looks, simulated pressures, creepers, a lot of run stunts,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of stunts in the past, some you know,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: match some fangio match coverage, principal stuff. I talked about
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: this with Cody Alexander a couple weeks ago when I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: had him on the show. You know, get you get
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: some Fangio coverage stuff on the back end, but then
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: you've got some of that Wade Phillips five down pressure
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: path and Blitz packaged stuff up front. Really cool. Obviously
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: he has a bunch of horses at the Rams, especially upfront.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: You've got Kobe Turner, You've got Byron Young, You've got
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Jared Verse, now, You've got Yeah, You've got Poona Ford.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Now you have Brayden Fisk. You got dudes who can
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: kind of roll. Even what's not Jordan Davis, Oh from Clemson.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: This is gonna drive me nuts. I have to look up.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: I have to look up the Rams depth chart. Forgive me,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: forgive me because his name is eluding me and it's
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: gonna drive me absolutely insane. Tyler Davis, thank you, defensive tackle.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: He's number ninety for the Rams. I remember lik him
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: a bit coming out of Clemson, like he's been productive.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Like they have dudes upfront who can absolutely just go.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Even Josiah Stewart, rookie edge out of Michigan, who I
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: like he's undersized, but just plays like a veloci rafter,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: like you've seen what they've kind of been able to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: get out of guys up front. But again, he's got
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: the horses, but I think he does a great job
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: weaponizing them and setting them up for success, and kind
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: of the hybrid nature of the defense I think is cool.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: My biggest question with him is can he be as
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: effective without having those dudes? Right? How effective can he
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: be without having Byron Young and Jared Versus and Kobe
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Turner and all, and like this legitimate five or six
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: man deep front that they have. And especially for a
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: guy that runs a defense that's a combination of like
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: multiple schemes and philosophies and has a hybrid nature to it,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: the personnel is super important. And that's what I also
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: think is tough with whoever comes in for the defense,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: but especially if they come in and they're not alike
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: for like scheme fit with what the Bills already do. Like,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: unless you're running a four down overfront type of defense,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for you to change things here
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo because one, that's how the defense is built
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: right now. Two, like someone alluded to earlier. They don't
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: have the you know, the plethora of picks and cap
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: space to kind of revamp everything in an offseason. If
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: you decide, you know what, I'm gonna come in, I'm
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: gonna remake this defense in my image. You don't really
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: have the draft capital or the financial capital to do that.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: But so that's a hindrance for him and a hindrance
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: for the next name then I'm gonna bring up as well.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: But I like what he's done schematically. I like the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: hybrid nature of the defense and the combinations of what
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: he does. I like how he's weaponized as players sets
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: them up for success. I like the quarters principles that
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: he operates with on the back end. I'm a huge
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: match coverage guy, so I like that type of stuff.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: I like the three safeties that he's doing. You know
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: how he works in Cam Curl, Cam Kitchens and Quinton
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: Lake when he's healthy. You know, him being able to
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: get Emmanuel Forbes and Kobe Durant to play outstanding at
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: times even though they had a bit of a lull.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: You know what he's gotten out of the linebacker spot,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: even though they don't have studs at that spot. I
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: know like Nate Landman has been like a fun guy
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: who's really kind of come on, but it's been Nate
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Lambman and Omar Spates, like none of those guys are
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: big names that run the show or are all pro
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: type of guys, and he's been able to kind of
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: just set that again, set them up for success a
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: lot with what he does at the front, and he
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: has the horses. But yeah, so for me, the cons
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: with him are can he be as effective without having
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: those dudes? And then you know him bringing his scheme
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: and philosophy in knowing that it's not really a like
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: for like fit with how the Bills are currently built
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: from a roster and body type standpoint in previous schematics,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I think that would be tough. And again, what offensive
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: coordinator would he bring? I think that's a huge piece
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: for me. Again, my hope is it would be Shielhouse,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: but we'll go in a different direction if needed. And
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: any defensive coordinator this is necessarily a con just for Shula,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: but again any defensive coordinators or head coach means you're
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: probably playing the revolving door at offensive coordinator every couple
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: of years. But I do like Shula. I do like
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: what a lot of the Rams have been doing a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: lot of what a lot of the Rams have been doing.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: What the Rams have been doing this year in a
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: lot of ways. Again, the Rams are a team that, Oh,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: I've lost track at this point. I watched a ton
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: of their tape last year because I liked I like
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Kobe Turner a lot, and then rookie Jared Verse, I
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: like Cam Kinchen's Byron Young again their front was so sick.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: And then I like Michael Hoyt last year too, But
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: they were doing such cool stuff schematically last year, and
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: you know him being the d C last year his
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: first year is their DC last year, then being their
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: defensive coordat again this year. I just think they're well coached,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: They attack the movement, the you know what they are
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: from an identity and philosophical standpoint. And then also how
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: he's been able to kind of blend multiple schemes on
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: the front and back end. I like it. And then
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: his coaching history in case you Carey's been with the
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Rams since twenty seventeen. He was the assistant linebackers coach
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: for two years, the outside linebackers coach for two years,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: the linebackers coach in twenty twenty one, the pass game
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: coordinator and DB's coach in twenty twenty two, then the
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: pass rush coordinator and linebackers coach in twenty twenty three,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: and then the defensive coordinator last year and this year.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: And knowing what they've been able to turn out there
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: with the rams, you know, maybe he can help coach
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: up this front a little bit id, some better pass
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: rush prospects, developed some guys a little bit more, and
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: or set some guys up for success. We'll see. But yeah,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: I like Shula as a name as well. Next name,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: also a defensive mind. Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator Chargers another
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: one who again the schematic fit kind of leading off
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: with the con here, but kind of you know, connecting
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: it to the Shuler piece. The schematic fit with how
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the Bills roster is built defensively, I think is a question.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: Minter is more of a three to four type of guy,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: odd front type of looks, but he does know how
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: to have liked odd front structure in his run defense,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: but kind of tie it into an even front with
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: his principles of kind of just gap and a half,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: but you know, you know, attack, react and I should
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: say react, attack like knock back type of deal, reset
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. I do think he could kind
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: of blend things a bit, but he's another guy who,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: like the structure in the scheme, isn't necessarily the ideal fit.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: But I just value him so much as a defensive mind.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: If you ever want to take a peek on, there's
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: a ton of stuff going back to his time at Michigan.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: So he was the Michigan defensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: At Michigan for a little bit, we'll kind of run
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: down his time there. So he was with the Ravens
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. He was a defensive assistant for two years.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Then he was the assistant DB's coach in twenty nineteen,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: the full on DB's coach in twenty twenty. Then he
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: went to Vanderbilt in twenty twenty one where he was
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: the DC and safety's coach. Then he was at Michigan
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three where he
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: was their defensive coordinator. Won a national championship there, and
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: then he has been the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: last year and this year, where he followed Jim Harbaugh
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: to the Chargers from Michigan. If you ever want to
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: look something up on him, just type his name Jesse
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Minter and type in the four pillars of defense. You know,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: there's coaching clinics on him. There's interviews of him talking
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: about it. His four pillars are defense of defense, I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: should say, are effort and angles. That's one effort and angles,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: block deconstruction, ball disruption, and obnoxious communication. You just see
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: the way his team operates again, like playing the angles
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: of football. Football off comes down to math a bunch.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, numbers and just pure plus
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: in mind, and then it's also angles. It's geometry, all
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And he coaches guys to hustle up.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: He coaches them to take good angles to the football.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Block deconstruction hugely important. And if you watch the Chargers,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: you do it's huge linebackers. As an example, you see
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Dayon Henley and Denzel Perriman. Those dudes know how to
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: deconstruct blocks all day. But then watching you know, Khalil Matck,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: watching two Y two Plow too, even Derwin James, like,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: watch their dbs how they take on blocks. You see
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: that ball disruption, making plays on the ball, cause and havoc.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: And then I'm not just communication. They do a lot
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: of cool schematic stuff on the back end, and that
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: happens because of how well and tight or how good
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: and tight their communication is on the back end. He's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: also you know, again a lot of just great line
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: one liners from him and of what he believes philosophically
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: and from an identity standpoint. You know, he talks all
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: the time about how scheme is important, but also it's
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: what you play. It's not just what you play, it's
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: how you play it. He says, quote it's a fifty
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: to fifty split. How you play and what you play
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: are of equal importance. And I just think that's so important,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Like he knows, he's that type of guy that he
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: knows what he wants to play, but he's only gonna
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: play what his guys can maximize what sets them up
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: for success, because it's not just what you play, it's
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: how you play it. And him being able to balance
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: those two he's done it for the past several years.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: I like it against schematically creative on the back end.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: One of the things I don't like, and this kind
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: of ties into what the Bills used to be a bit.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: He is a proponent, especially this past year, of like
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: that light box defense that will give up you know,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: yards on the ground but won't allow a ton of explosives.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: He is kind of the proverbial like bend but don't
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: break type of defense. In twenty twenty five, that's really
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: what they were, you know, not blitz in a ton,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: but getting really good rush efficiency. I think they have
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: the seventh highest sack rate in the in the league
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: that in this past year with what they were able
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: to do. They want to make offenses grow impatient. They're
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: gonna stay in nickel. They're gonna have light boxes, they're
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: gonna let you run the ball for four to five
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: yards at a time, and they're actually gonna bet that
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: you become impatient or you make a mistake and then
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: they capitalize because they're in dime or they're in nickel.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: And again some of this is tied to you know,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: you got Derwyn James, who's a skeleton key of a
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: nickel with what he can do with coverage and what
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: he can do as a run defender. And then some
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: of the dbs they've had on the back end as well,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: but that's something that for me is a con like.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like that type of model and mentality, but
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: it really works for what he's done and where he's
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: been and how he built this Chargers team and who
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: they've had from a personnel standpoint. I also wonder again,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: oh yes, forced asleep says Ben, but don't break is
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: forbidden in Buffalo. I also wonder how that gel is
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: kind of just with the front that they have in Buffalo.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Like you go to the Chargers and they had you know,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: poona Ford last year, they had Tier Turt this year.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Like they're playing some odd front principles and you know
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: what gaps they're controlling, how they're controlling them, playing gap
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: in a half, playing knock back, all that type of stuff.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: That's not what the Bills have been built with, And
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: that's not what the Bills have, Like they would have
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: to kind of reach tool themselves a little bit like TJ.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: Sanders isn't built for that type of defense. At Oliver
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: isn't built for that type of defense. Dean Walker maybe
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: is built for that type of defense. But you have
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: to severely change your interior defensive line. Your linebackers are
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: not good at block deconstruction. We'll see what happens with
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Matt Mlano if if he comes back. But Treel Bernard,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: he's not built for block deconstruction. His size and frame
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: and arm length not great, you know, So what would
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: Minter have to do to kind of bat that. I
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: think that's what makes the fit a little tough. But
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: I do like him as a defensive mind. I think
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: he's someone who would get I think he's someone who
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: would get get the job done in the long term
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: going forward. But I think the initial first year, like
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: that first year twenty twenty six, I think would be
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: really ugly and messy defensively because they don't have the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: pieces or the body types that would fit the type
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: of defense he runs. But I do trust him to
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: kind of balance that a little bit and mitigate those discrepancies.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: He's a really great teacher, very hands on, But I
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: think it will be tough considering just how the Bill's
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: defensive roster is built. Same similar challenge for Shula as well.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: Both of these guys, right, both of like the hot
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: name defensive coordinators in Shula and Minter that are potential
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: head coach candidates, don't really gel or fit with what
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: the Bill's current identity is defensively, and you would have
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: to overhaul or retool or revamp or tweak whatever verbat
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: You want to use a lot of the body types
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: and the roster to get them to fit the schematics
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: and identity and philosophy for Shula and Minter. That's part
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: of the reason why I also like Robert Salad because
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: I thought it was more of a seamless fit, and
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: I do think he's a good coach. I know some
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: people don't, but yeah, well, I do think that's going
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: to be a challenge for Minter, just like it would
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: be for Shula. But I value both of their minds schematically,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: and kind of going from there next one, I'm gonna
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: bring these guys up in conjunction with one another. A
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: lot of you have mentioning in the chat, Joe Brady,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Brian Dable. I I don't know why. I've kind of
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: backed off this a little bit the more I've thought
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: about it, but I just have a gut feeling that
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady's gonna be the head coach of the Bills.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: I just kind of think of that. I don't want
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady as the head coach of the Bills. I
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: don't think he's as big of a problem and he's
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: been kind of made out to be. I just don't think.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think Joe Braden woul say it just kind
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: of speak out of both sides of my oll. Actually, no,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't think Joe Brady was as amazing
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: as everybody was making him out to be last year
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: when Alan won the MVP and the Bills were running
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: the ball and doing all that great stuff. I also
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: don't think he's as bad as everybody's been making him
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: out to be this year. So I don't think he
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: was as high up there as everybody was making him
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: out to be. And I don't think he's as bad
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: as everybody's making him out to be. Now that said,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want him to be head coach. And I'm
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: in a similar poll with Brian Dable really just because
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: of how poorly things went with the Giants and the
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: reports coming out of thereafter grant it. You know, it
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: could be a smear campaign and all that type of stuff.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: We don't know what the deal is with that organization
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: and how things come out, but things were just so
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: bad in New York and I even going back to
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: this past game with the Chiefs, or this past season
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: where they played the Chiefs on Monday night, and I
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: know Spags does his things and we'll try and limit,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: you know, your best thing, but dabill not being able
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: to get the ball to the leak neighbors, you know,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: watching Daniel Jones leave the Giants and then start to
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: kind of flourish legitimately, legitimately a little bit with the Colts.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: How much or how sustainable that was going to be
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: before after the injury, Now there's a huge variable thrown
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: into that. I just don't I don't want Brady or Dable.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: It's just I didn't even dive into that. We know
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: kind of who they are and what they are at
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: this point as well, So I didn't dive into too
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: much of the schematics for this conversation because I think
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of us know who they are and what
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: they are after watching the Bills for all these years.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: But Dables run in New York was just so bad,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: and there was so much like smoke from a negative
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: standpoint that even if a good chunk of it is
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: still smoking, there's no fire, there's still enough fire that
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: makes me not want Dable to be the head coach
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: of the Bills, which is a shame because I met
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: him in person at the Senior Bowl. He was awesome,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: He's a local guy, all that kind of stuff. I
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: don't want Dable, And as Tristan says, like Dabele doesn't
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: seem to have the disposition of a head coach. Yeah,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: there's just a lot of wonkiness with Dabel. And so
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want Dable and I don't want Joe Brady.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I just I don't think Brady is the guy wants
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: steering the ship and ooh, coming from Will and the chat,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: Dable is a classic Belichick tree coach. That's actually super fair.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: That's a super fair thought there. Yeah, and then Brady huh.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like also too, Like if Brady's the head coach,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: he's more puppet than anything else. And I don't value
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: him enough schematically to think that that's fine from an
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: exus and O standpoint, Like I think Kobiac would be better,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: and I would prefer that. I don't think there's a
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: right answer for anybody, Like we've talked about it, right,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: Like even the guys that I've listed off, like my
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: top three of Kubiak, Shula and Minter. We still don't
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: know on them as like head coaches, like there's variables
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: to each guy, there's pros and cons to each guy
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: across the board. I just I just don't want Brady
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: and I don't want Dable, And it's more gut field
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: than anything, although there obviously there are schematic pieces and
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: people eating aspects to it. But I yeah, Dable's tenure
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: in New York was ugly and wonky and black. Just
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: what he was doing with Jackson Dart at the end
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: and running him a million times, like the Camp Scataboo stuff.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: Just you know, my league neighbors like kind of throwing
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: jabs at him last year, and you know, people openly
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: in the media, like players criticized him and just not
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: liking him. And then how he went, how he went
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: out the door just really mussy and medi musty and
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: medi messy and muddy, and then even kind of compare
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: that somebody said in the chat, Yeah, like his how
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: his tenure in Buffalo I did it was also not
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: great and then like rumblings that kind of came after that.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: So I I I'm out on table not a fan
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: of that. One and Brady Again, I don't think Brady's
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: is terrible. I don't. I don't want Joe Brady as
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: as my head coach right now. And I could be
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: completely wrong. He might go to someone said he's in
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: the final stages with Baltimore, he's interviewed with the interviewed
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: with Miami, interview with the Raiders. I believe he could
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: go on to be an amazing head coach. I just
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: don't see it right now, and I know the faith
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: in it right now, and I just I just don't.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want more of even though again the offense.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: I think we'll get this into the film room tomorrow.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to talk too much about the
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Broncos game, but I don't think the offense was a
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: huge problem schematically from a play calling or design standpoint.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs. You know, there were some good things
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: that he was doing, just like I think there were
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: some good things throughout. But oh, question from Josh oh
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: And in their tenure in Buffalo, whose offense look better,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: Brady or Dable Oof. It's tough because they're they're both
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: so different. Brady is condensed formations, bigger body, types of
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: wide receiver and running the football, and Dable is John
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: Brown and Cole Beasley spread them out, you know, three
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: by two empty gun. Allan's gonna throw it forty times
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: a game. They're both too, They're two completely different offenses,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: and they both were a sign of the times. Like
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: da bles offense worked because of where the NFL was
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: and it's trends and its meta, and Brady's offense has
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: worked because of where the NFL is and it's trends
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: and its meta. Ooh. I also think, you know RJ says,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: that's not even a question Dable all the way. Everything
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: was difficult under Brady because the other team knew the plays.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: I also think people forget about like the sludge of
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: games for Dable, like the Jacksonville game. Ironically, even the
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: thirteen seconds game. The Bills started out horrible on offense,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: you know, to start like they had that flurry where
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: they started chucking it down the field and making plays,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: but they kind of had to because they started out
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: slow and muddy and ugly, and they had a couple
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: games like that in the Dable tenure. Wow, but the
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: pass game stuff has been really Here's what I want
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: to say, Brady but the pass game stuff has been
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: so ugly under Brady. But the weapons and the players
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: available also haven't been great with Brady. But then also
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: like Heat also didn't do good with with with Diggs,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: and as we clearly see, Diggs has not completely fallen off.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: I think you could do six to one half a
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: dozen to the other. The run game under table wasn't
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: great and he didn't really hit that enough. I think
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's six to one half a dozen the other.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: It's really tough because their offenses are just so different.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: Their offense is just so different. The Brady run game
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: has been good. Granted he's ad Chromer, so you can
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: see that as a pro as oricon. Oh and Jason
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: just said I don't trust that Brady would succeed without Chromer.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: It's tough. There's so many variables. I think it's six
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: and one half it does the other. I'm gonna say push.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. That's a really great question, Josh,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: really well done. That's a good question. I'm gonna be
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: thinking about that all night. Yeah. Obviously, the Dable Pass
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: game lights out for the most part, even though again
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: they had a bunch of struggles and didn't pivot to
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: the run game enough, and then the Brady run game
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: was sick, and then the past game struggled, like if
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: you could merge the two, that'd be sick at some point.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: And again, personnel ties into a two like Dable didn't
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: have a running back the capable like James Cookie also
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: didn't have Aaron Kromer. Joe Brady doesn't have prime John
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: Brown and prime Cole Beasley. Prime Cole Beasley was a problem.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: Dude was a monster. So having those guys maybe that
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: helps a little bit, plus like prime digs. Yeah, cam
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: Moore says, let's just take the middle ground and say
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey. I still don't think Ken Dorsey was as
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: bad as everybody made about to be. That's a conversation
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: for another time. Oh. Also, fair comment here saying you
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: also have a younger, less experienced Josh Allen under Brian Dable.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: Fair fair, fair, fair, fair fair. Yeah, and based on
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: the comments here there's I think it's a pretty good split. Yeah,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: think you could make the case either way. That's a
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: really good question, Josh, well done and getting everybody chatting,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: Well done, Well done. Yeah, I again, I don't think
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: Brady is terrible. If you told me Joe Brady was
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: staying his offensive coordinator, I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: have hated it. You know, if McDermott state as well,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: Like I wanted Mike McDaniel over Joe Brady, But I
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: don't think Joe Brady's a guy that I'm like, he's terrible.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: Jettison him into the sun if he left. Similar to McDermott,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: if he left, I'd be like, okay, cool. If he stayed,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, cool, But I don't want him
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: as a head coach. And then Dable, Yeah, I just
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: how bad that Giant stop was and everything coming out
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: and what they were on the field, ugly and bad
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Some other random not other random,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: but other names that I'm kind of just thinking of.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: I was just diving into, like other playoff teams and
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: who could potentially go somewhere. Grant Udinsky, he is the
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for the Jags, you know, really kind of
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: both Jags coordinators potentially him and then Anthony Campanilli, the
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who talked about a ton a couple of
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. But I think those are more like outskirt
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: outline names, especially for Rodinsky, who he's thirty years old,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: extreme would be extremely young head coach. He's been the
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: Jags OC this past year, but we know how involved
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Cone is and you know just kind of what he is.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: But those are some names I've heard some rumblings about
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: potentially happening, but I kinda could see it happening, but
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think either are completely realistic. And then is
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: the comic just meant to here? Yeah, Davis web but
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: another name those who don't know. He's the Broncos quarterbacks coach,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: and again he's also somebody who young as well. He's
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: thirty years old. Finished playing for the Giants in twenty
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: twenty two. He became the Broncos QB coach in twenty
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: twenty three and was at that through twenty twenty four,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: and then this past season he's been the Broncos offensive
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: pass game coordinator and QB coach, obviously learning at the
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: feet of Sean Payton. Really good offensive mine, really good
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: red zone designer. I'm not completely opposed to Davis Webb.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: I just think he's so he's so raw. There's no
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Davis Webb is like one of those like say he
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: got a head coaching job. Now, it's either one of
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: those moves where like in two seasons or maybe even one,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, I can't believe somebody hired
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: him with his lack of experience, Like that's absolutely crazy,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: although again, his playing history was more off the field
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: than it was on the field. But I think he's
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: one of those hires if it were to happen, or
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: names where you know it's like, Wow, what a crazy hit,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: that's amazing, or if it's like, wow, I can't believe
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: somebody hired that guy. He has no experience. What a
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: dumpster fire that was? That type of deal. Yeah, I
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: throw him in. I throw him in that category there.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of seeing like type of deal. Those
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: are some last other names. Yeah, my top three are
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: Sorry I was reading comments as I'm kind of thinking
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: and talking here a little bit waxing poetically. My top
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: three Clint Kubiak, Chrishula, Jesse Minter. For what it's worth,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: I had Robert sala as my number two a day ago,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: but then he got snatched up by the Titans. Gate says,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: what about the Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman I just
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: don't think he's leaving Notre Dame. I just don't think
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: it's happening. I don't think it's happening. J Clark says
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: after watching a few interviews, Webb has that aura and
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: that counts for something. I don't think, you know, sure
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: we're gonna or a farm for it? Why not? I
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: just don't know enough of what he offers as like
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: a showrunner and ship steerer and all of that and
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: everything else in between. Exozos comes the people manage with
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: pizza's a lot. So I don't know. I don't I
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: With Peyton Manning ever coach, I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think he wants to. There's
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of coaching's tough. Man. You're in the building
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: like eighteen hours a day. You're like sleeping under your desk.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: It's a grind. Like it's a real grind. Yeah, it's
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: a real grind. You know, it's not a grind. Getting
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: the best pizza in Buffalo, New York, and then is
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: one pie pizza love that segue, sweet sauce pie cup
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: and char pepperoni, homemade blue cheese, a catering division called
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: Elevated Catering. A Buffalo amazing, amazing, amazing food, however you
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: slice it. No pun intended there. I truly do believe
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: One Pie Pizza is the best piece. It's a Buffalo
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't say that because they sponsor the show.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: They sponsor the show because I think they are the
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: best pizza in Buffalo. I had reached out to another
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: pizza spot for a potential sponsor. One Piece saw That
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: asked me to come on down. They gave me a
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: pie to sample and try, and I have never looked back.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: Kayleb says, did they deliver to Houston. I wish they did.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: I'll ask, but yeah, just I really do think they
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: are the best in Buffalo. And I don't say that
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: because they sponsored the show. They sponsor the show because
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: I think they're the best. I tried their stuff. I've
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: never looked back. I like the way they just go
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: about their business and all the generosity to the city
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: and the community at large. Partnering with Roswell, partnering with
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: the SPCA, Toys for Tots, the Alzheimer's Foundation. They give
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: back in a lot of ways that they don't necessarily
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: have to. I always describe them as really good people
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: making really good food. They make an awesome breakfast pizza.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: So if you're sad come Sunday morning because the bills
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: aren't playing, get yourself some one PI pizza breakfast pizza,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: or just wait till the afternoon and get a regular pie.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: If you get different toppings and veggies, they'll chop them
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: all up evenly and sprinkle them across the pie. And again,
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: that homemade blue cheese is absolutely immaculate. And the catering
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: division is great too. So if you are putting on
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: an event, you know we put it in. You know
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: that little bean your bonnet. Now, if you're doing events
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: for the summer or grad parties or birthdays or different things,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: put one pie out there and call up their catering
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: division Elevated Catering a Buffalo. I've had them do multiple
• 1:34:23

  Speaker 1: if you have not already. I appreciate everybody stopping by
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: watching live and I hope you enjoyed this episode. It's
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: man it's it's an interesting time for the Bills. It's
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: I already thought this is gonna be very pivotal and
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: forming off season for the direction of the franchise before
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: McDermot got fired. Just with where they are, with some
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: of the cap where they are, with some of the
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: players they brought in, the draft picks they've made, I
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: kind of thought the defense was kind of gonna have
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: to cross the rubicon a little bit with what they've
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: been from a body type and archetype standpoint. As you
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: folks know, I've been talking about that so much last
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: year and a ton this season. So I thought they
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: had to make a lot of defensive changes to get
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: to where they need to be with the league trends
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: and the league meta. But they don't have a lot
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: of caps based financial flexibility to do that. Draft picks
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: will kind of see extensions they've given out all this stuff.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: I already thought that was gonna be kind of a
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: tough offseason and a big one for them, And now
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: with McDermott gone, it's even more so. This is we're
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: really now And I don't think this is anything revelatory
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: that I'm about to say, but we're going to point
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: to this offseason as such a pivotal moment in the
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: direction of this franchise. It's either going to be they
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: write the ship and things get better and they finally
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: get over the hump, or they stay the same and
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, it wasn't McDermott, it wasn't the coke.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: Or they tank and they plumb it like again. Another
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: thing I'm saying is revelatory or some brand new information.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: But this one's gonna go a long way. Alan is
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: getting into his thirties, that the cap hit is only
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: getting higher. They do have to retool, They do have
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: to write the ship like a true admiral Kamory well done. Yeah,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's just gonna be a very pivotabal
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: and formative offseason for what they do. How much roster
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: turnover is there, What coaching changes are there are we
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: looking at? You know, a new head coach, offensive coordinator
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: and defensive coordinator, you know, whoever they bring in. I
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: think again a lot of the names that I mentioned.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: If they bring in Shula, he's also the defensive coordinator.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: There will be a defensive coordinator, but he's running the defense.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: If they bring in Clint Koby act they'll have an
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, but he's running the offense. But does Chris
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: Shula come in and Joe Brady stays right? Does Jesse
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: Minter come in and Joe Brady stays, Does Clint Kubiac
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: come in and Bobby Babbage stays? You know what defenses
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: get brought in player wise schematically? What offenses get brought
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: in player wise? Schematically? The changes? How hard does Bean
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: go to try and show that it was McDermott. Does
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: he have some tricks off his sleeve that he's gonna
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: make or kind of try and go scorched earth to prove, Hey,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: it was McDermott. I'm gonna really shine now? And does
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: that work or does he fail further? And it plunges
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: this team into the depths of hell from which they
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: never recover. Scary but potentially exciting. I'm gonna start to
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: dive into college tape soon, which is always a fun
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: thing for me. You've got free agent evaluations coming up,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: college prospect evaluations coming up next week's episode. I will
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: likely I love all about admiral jokes. Everybody's putting in
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: the chat. It's awesome. Next week, I'm probably gonna do
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: a deep dive INDO season recap type of deal in
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: terms of positions, archetypes, things they need to change, things
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: they need to do, kind of lumping that in with
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: the free A class money cap space. We'll be diving
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: into all of that on this show, right like cap
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: moves that can be made, extensions that could or should
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: be made, guys who can be cut post June first designations,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I'll be outlining the kind of the
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: whole offseason schedule as we go for it in this week.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: The McDermott firing and changes just kind of threw all
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: of that into flux. So yeah, I hope you continue

• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: be doing another big deep dive film series like I
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: did a couple of seasons ago when I kind of
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: forecasted and predicted what the bills would be offensively with
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: condensed formations and league trends, and you know mc collins
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: came in and why they brought Homan and what it
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: was gonna mean and all of that. And we showed
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: tape of the Rams and the Lions and the Texans
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: offense the time as some examples of what teams are
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: doing with condensed formations to win. We're gonna be doing
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: that on the defensive side of the ball this offseason
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: to show the direction the Bills defense needs to go
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: in and why based on current league trends and meta
• 1:40:11
