- 3:51Speaker 2: with us at Nickel City Crew as well. So let's
- 3:53Speaker 2: rock and roll baby Friday Night vibes.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Yeah, let's rock and roll and shout out to I
- 3:58Speaker 4: eighty six Network, my boy Tom and Bobby over there
- 4:00Speaker 4: as well. We appreciate the love from them and have
- 4:03Speaker 4: an opportunity to stop cast well.
- 4:07Speaker 3: DT.
- 4:07Speaker 4: They they finally did it. They came to a resolution.
- 4:10Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bills have decided on who they want to
- 4:12Speaker 4: be their new leader. Joe Brady was picked as the
- 4:16Speaker 4: new head coach of the Buffalo Bills on what was
- 4:18Speaker 4: a couple of days ago and DT, you know, I
- 4:21Speaker 4: wanted to get your initial reactions of it and what
- 4:23Speaker 4: you thought about it, because I know that, you know,
- 4:25Speaker 4: the Cynicon mead can always come out and can always
- 4:29Speaker 4: kind of, you know, put a glass half empty twist
- 4:32Speaker 4: on anything. And after the press conference, I know that
- 4:36Speaker 4: these are built for that and they're built to make
- 4:38Speaker 4: you feel better. But I'll be honest, I felt a
- 4:40Speaker 4: little bit better about it, But I wanted to get
- 4:41Speaker 4: just your initial thoughts of leading up to it. The
- 4:44Speaker 4: news and what your takeaways are of it after the
- 4:47Speaker 4: after the press conference the other day, because for me,
- 4:50Speaker 4: I know that I was looking for an.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Offensive side of coach.
- 4:54Speaker 4: You already knew that I was not looking forward DC,
- 4:56Speaker 4: didn't really care about age or anything like that. But
- 4:58Speaker 4: I wanted somebody that was gonna have some fresh approach.
- 5:01Speaker 4: And I think that you can look at it both
- 5:03Speaker 4: ways because of the fact of who they hired. But
- 5:05Speaker 4: I wanted to get your thoughts on it before first,
- 5:08Speaker 4: because I've got some thoughts on it as well, obviously,
- 5:10Speaker 4: but I wanted to get yours first.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Yeah, well, last week, you know, you said the press
- 5:16Speaker 2: conference was made for to make us feel better, and
- 5:18Speaker 2: that's how they're they're constructed, right, and that's how they
- 5:21Speaker 2: should have been. And after last week, you know, we
- 5:23Speaker 2: knew that that's that's not the case all the time, right,
- 5:25Speaker 2: because that sparked, you know, poor gas On already a
- 5:28Speaker 2: pretty big fire, you know, of the Bills mafia, and
- 5:30Speaker 2: that press conference just.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Did it bad.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I think this week, the whole it was definitely better,
- 5:37Speaker 2: you know, brought people back a little bit. I still
- 5:40Speaker 2: definitely and a little critical of of some things about it,
- 5:43Speaker 2: and you know, decisions and moving forward, but overall Joe
- 5:47Speaker 2: Brady coming in, you know, another in house situation. This
- 5:50Speaker 2: is why I was so adamant last week that I thought,
- 5:54Speaker 2: not necessarily I would have been okay with it, but
- 5:56Speaker 2: definitely thought they were bringing Dable back because this is
- 6:00Speaker 2: just the m all of you know, of what Pagola does,
- 6:03Speaker 2: Lindy Ruff coming back to the Sabers, Kevin Adams staying
- 6:06Speaker 2: staying three years longer than he should have, a Jordan
- 6:09Speaker 2: Boyer gave Davis, Bobby Babbage and you know, Joe Brady
- 6:14Speaker 2: were both internal hires into their coordinator roles, and so
- 6:17Speaker 2: it just seemed like that they were going to go
- 6:19Speaker 2: somewhere in that direction. Joe Brady really wasn't even on
- 6:22Speaker 2: my radar, to be honest. You know, I thought if
- 6:24Speaker 2: they were doing that type of vibe, they were gonna
- 6:26Speaker 2: go with somebody they knew, liked Dable, who had the
- 6:28Speaker 2: head coaching experience but familiar and bring him back into
- 6:32Speaker 2: the building. So I'd say definitely surprised at the hire
- 6:38Speaker 2: got into, you know again, just that that flowing fire
- 6:41Speaker 2: of that was started last week and GasPort on it
- 6:44Speaker 2: by Terry and Brandon and then you know, kind of
- 6:47Speaker 2: rolling into oh we're hiring Joe Brady and that fire
- 6:50Speaker 2: just if that wasn't the water to put out the fire.
- 6:53Speaker 2: But now I think, you know, you had to a
- 6:57Speaker 2: little too much smoke in elation. You take a break
- 6:59Speaker 2: from fighting it, you go and get get healthy again,
- 7:02Speaker 2: and you're you're looking at it from afar, and I
- 7:06Speaker 2: think you can we can piece it together a little more.
- 7:08Speaker 2: I know everybody was real fired up this week, but
- 7:10Speaker 2: a couple of days later press conference comes. I definitely
- 7:13Speaker 2: am a lot more settled down. And we'll get into
- 7:15Speaker 2: the specifics of it tonight. But Joe Brady coming in,
- 7:18Speaker 2: is it the twenty first or the twenty second?
- 7:21Speaker 1: Head coach? Think it's the twenty.
- 7:23Speaker 3: First, twenty second? Yes, or maybe mcdoum.
- 7:27Speaker 2: It was the twenty first yeah yet but either way,
- 7:29Speaker 2: you know, uh, you know a legacy of coaches, and
- 7:32Speaker 2: he puts his name down good or bad? Uh coming up,
- 7:35Speaker 2: you know, coming up next. So we only have what
- 7:39Speaker 2: is it till September? You know, the second week of
- 7:41Speaker 2: September is only nine months.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Away, so you know it's it's uh, it's something we
- 7:46Speaker 1: really got to worry about.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And be hasty about because, uh, because we don't have
- 7:49Speaker 2: a lot of time to uh to dissect it. But
- 7:52Speaker 2: all joking aside, Joe Brady's the next head ball coach.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I was surprised. I knew they were gonna do something familiar,
- 7:57Speaker 2: but I didn't know they were gonna go this familiar.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't either. You know, it's funny that you
- 8:04Speaker 4: said that he was adoed your radar. I I kind of,
- 8:06Speaker 4: you know, I forgot about him to a little bit,
- 8:09Speaker 4: just because of all the names that were brought up,
- 8:11Speaker 4: and there was nine coaching candidates, he was the first
- 8:14Speaker 4: one to get the interview, And for me, I was
- 8:16Speaker 4: kind of looking at it as you know, I was
- 8:19Speaker 4: I was actually coming around to the fact that, you know,
- 8:20Speaker 4: maybe it was going to be that Yudinsky kid, or
- 8:22Speaker 4: you know what I mean, or somebody that had no
- 8:24Speaker 4: experience at all. And what's funny about it is that,
- 8:27Speaker 4: you know, Joe Brady doesn't have any inexperience experience as
- 8:30Speaker 4: a head coach either. So you know, one of the
- 8:32Speaker 4: things that I keep thinking about is that, well, everybody's
- 8:34Speaker 4: first time was their first time eventually, you know, at
- 8:37Speaker 4: some point in time, it was their first time. So
- 8:39Speaker 4: that was one of the things that started to calm
- 8:40Speaker 4: me down. I think that it was interesting.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Hundred times yesterday they say, you're not a head coach,
- 8:48Speaker 2: you're not a head coaching experience until you're a head coach.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I and I understand where they're
- 8:54Speaker 4: coming from with that and the logic behind it, because
- 8:56Speaker 4: obviously it's true. The thing about it for me DT
- 8:59Speaker 4: was that I was worried that even not even a dable,
- 9:03Speaker 4: but I was worried that with Joe Brady specifically, that
- 9:06Speaker 4: he was going to be more of an extension of
- 9:08Speaker 4: being and a yes man. You heard the word alignment
- 9:10Speaker 4: used a couple of times during that press conference, which
- 9:13Speaker 4: we'll talk about, But you know, I was more worried
- 9:15Speaker 4: about the fact, well, is this guy being brought into
- 9:18Speaker 4: kind of just be, you know, being's yes man to
- 9:21Speaker 4: to a certain degree, like more like along the lines
- 9:24Speaker 4: that well, you know, McDermott was bitching about the roster.
- 9:27Speaker 4: McDermott was, you know, kind of leaving breadcrumbs in the media,
- 9:30Speaker 4: pissing people off in the building. You know, are you
- 9:32Speaker 4: going to come in here and just kind of follow
- 9:34Speaker 4: what I do and follow what I'm saying and kind
- 9:37Speaker 4: of just take what I give you that type of thing.
- 9:39Speaker 4: I think that it's a situation where it may not
- 9:41Speaker 4: be that because you've got to remember, you know, these
- 9:43Speaker 4: guys are this is their job, and what they do
- 9:46Speaker 4: is going to be judged off of how they perform.
- 9:48Speaker 4: So do you want to be in a situation where
- 9:50Speaker 4: you're just going to be quiet if you don't agree
- 9:52Speaker 4: with something? You know, and and you know Brady, to
- 9:55Speaker 4: his credit, he spoke to it in the press conference
- 9:57Speaker 4: and he said that, you know, alignment doesn't mean that
- 9:59Speaker 4: we always agree and different things like that. But I
- 10:01Speaker 4: think that it's a situation where I'm I'm still most
- 10:04Speaker 4: worried about being and if he understands that the roster
- 10:07Speaker 4: needs improvements. Sometimes I think that he tells us what,
- 10:11Speaker 4: you know, what he thinks that we want to hear.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Or sometimes I think that he tells us things based
- 10:16Speaker 4: off of ego. You know, the wgr thing with the
- 10:18Speaker 4: wide receivers and things like that, that's based on ego.
- 10:21Speaker 4: I'm telling you know, Pegoula that we've got a great roster.
- 10:23Speaker 4: I think that's based on ego. He wants to show
- 10:25Speaker 4: that he has value and that, well, it's not really
- 10:27Speaker 4: the roster, it's the coaching staff. The biggest thing that
- 10:30Speaker 4: I had a problem with with the Brady hire was
- 10:32Speaker 4: that how can you tell me that you want a
- 10:34Speaker 4: new voice DT when you know a guy that had
- 10:37Speaker 4: his hand in the fuck ups is being promoted. And
- 10:40Speaker 4: that's one of the things that it's going to be
- 10:43Speaker 4: interesting to see how it plays out, because when you
- 10:44Speaker 4: tell me you want a new voice, when you tell
- 10:46Speaker 4: me that you're looking to go into a new direction.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Yes, he's different enough than McDermott.
- 10:50Speaker 4: However, he was a part of these last three opportunities
- 10:53Speaker 4: on offense, you know, not getting it done at end
- 10:55Speaker 4: of game situations in the playoffs, and they asked him
- 10:57Speaker 4: about it and he owned it and he said that
- 10:59Speaker 4: it's on me in the offense doesn't succeed in any
- 11:02Speaker 4: you know, former fashion, and I agree with that. But
- 11:05Speaker 4: you know, there was a lot of stuff that was
- 11:06Speaker 4: said that I thought that they wanted us to hear.
- 11:08Speaker 4: So I'm I'm still waiting for you know, I'm a
- 11:10Speaker 4: I'm I'm a game day type of fan. I want
- 11:12Speaker 4: to see what happens. The proof is in the pudding.
- 11:14Speaker 4: What are you gonna do? Out there on the field.
- 11:16Speaker 4: I think that he is different enough from McDermott that
- 11:20Speaker 4: we should expect different things. But that kind of worries
- 11:23Speaker 4: me still. It's it's the being part, and it's the
- 11:24Speaker 4: being aspect. As long as Bean understands that this roster
- 11:28Speaker 4: needs some work, as long as he understands that this
- 11:30Speaker 4: wide receiver room needs help, then I'm okay. If he
- 11:32Speaker 4: still wants to really believe that this is all, you know,
- 11:35Speaker 4: hunky dory and and Keon Coleman's getting ready to take
- 11:38Speaker 4: his next step, which they you know, already got egg
- 11:40Speaker 4: on their face last year, then that's going to be
- 11:42Speaker 4: a problem for me.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's you know, I can see that
- 11:47Speaker 2: theory of the yes man, right, bring somebody in that's
- 11:50Speaker 2: you know, super chipper and grateful, right, Like I'm so
- 11:53Speaker 2: grateful to be a head coach, Like I will follow
- 11:56Speaker 2: whatever vision you know you need me to follow, and
- 11:58Speaker 2: like I will be at the meet whenever you need
- 12:00Speaker 2: me to be there, and like and there was kind
- 12:03Speaker 2: of that bushy tail vibe to that press conference of like,
- 12:06Speaker 2: you know, it was you know, and I'm not saying
- 12:08Speaker 2: you can't get up there and thank people or anything
- 12:10Speaker 2: like that. But you know it was like he was
- 12:12Speaker 2: he just like won a Grammy or something right, and
- 12:14Speaker 2: was like up there like you know, I'd like to
- 12:16Speaker 2: thank the Academy the plas like it, you know, and
- 12:19Speaker 2: which is you like to see both sides of that.
- 12:22Speaker 2: So I think maybe that that could have been a factor.
- 12:26Speaker 2: But also the point of I mean, Brandon Bean has
- 12:30Speaker 2: to be you know, privy to the fact that he
- 12:34Speaker 2: is now has the shortest leash right like you somehow
- 12:37Speaker 2: flipped the deck and flipped the deck and made you know,
- 12:41Speaker 2: Terry Bogula believe that you had nothing to do with
- 12:43Speaker 2: any issue with the whole organization.
- 12:45Speaker 1: You get promoted from it and move forward.
- 12:48Speaker 2: So now, like I think a first year head coach
- 12:52Speaker 2: and Joe Brady, even if the worst case scenario happens
- 12:55Speaker 2: last year, he's not getting the clip. You know, it's
- 12:57Speaker 2: not like Pete Carroll coming into the to the Raiders
- 13:00Speaker 2: and putting up such a horrific performance you had to
- 13:02Speaker 2: fire him, like this dude really can is not is
- 13:05Speaker 2: gonna be on a training you know, wheel schedule next
- 13:08Speaker 2: year and if he if he doesn't do well, they're
- 13:11Speaker 2: gonna give him another year. But Brandon Bean is on
- 13:13Speaker 2: a short leash now, like you got rid of Sean.
- 13:16Speaker 2: If the same shit happens again, then who's next. It
- 13:19Speaker 2: goes to Brandon Bean.
- 13:20Speaker 1: So I think he knows that as well.
- 13:22Speaker 2: And you know, maybe they did want somebody, you know,
- 13:25Speaker 2: with alignment. And the weird thing about that in the
- 13:27Speaker 2: press conference when they set alignment, they kept pointing at
- 13:30Speaker 2: each other. That was corny and weird, I thought, but
- 13:32Speaker 2: you know that it that's what it is. So I
- 13:36Speaker 2: can see where bringing a yes man in somebody bushy tail,
- 13:39Speaker 2: like they just so happy to be there. You can
- 13:41Speaker 2: really tell him whatever, and they're gonna, they're gonna, you know,
- 13:44Speaker 2: I agree, align and move forward. But I also think
- 13:47Speaker 2: Brandon Bean knows that his ass is on the line
- 13:49Speaker 2: if this doesn't work out. So that being said, he
- 13:53Speaker 2: had to put somebody in there. He was confident and
- 13:55Speaker 2: to save his ass too. And I think odd of
- 13:58Speaker 2: the nine you know people, it sounded very extensive. It
- 14:00Speaker 2: sounded very intense, you know that. I think they they
- 14:03Speaker 2: were looking for that. They were they stuck true to
- 14:05Speaker 2: that CEO type of mentality they kept talking about and
- 14:08Speaker 2: seeing the vision for it, and I think that's what
- 14:11Speaker 2: got him the job right, So I can see it
- 14:14Speaker 2: both ways. But I also think being you know, has
- 14:17Speaker 2: kind of proven he's he can be a little selfish,
- 14:20Speaker 2: and in this case, he's going to be looking out
- 14:22Speaker 2: for himself and he's not going to bring somebody in
- 14:24Speaker 2: that you know is going to be you know, somebody
- 14:26Speaker 2: that he doesn't trust to get it done, because if
- 14:28Speaker 2: it doesn't get done, the finger goes right back at
- 14:30Speaker 2: him real quick.
- 14:33Speaker 4: No, you're now, you're absolutely right about that, because it
- 14:36Speaker 4: really is now a situation. We've named episodes like this before,
- 14:39Speaker 4: like there's nowhere to hide for being and I agree
- 14:42Speaker 4: with that sentiment. I think that, you know, Pagoula did
- 14:44Speaker 4: not want to have to hire a new general manager
- 14:46Speaker 4: and a head coach.
- 14:47Speaker 3: I think that that was going to be overwhelming for.
- 14:49Speaker 4: Him, regardless of the presence of some of the guys
- 14:51Speaker 4: in the building like Terrence Gray and Joe Shane or
- 14:54Speaker 4: excuse me, a Gain, Brian Gain. I don't think that
- 14:57Speaker 4: he wanted to do it all by himself and wanted
- 14:59Speaker 4: to be in a situation when he was hiring two
- 15:01Speaker 4: different big time roles for his team, so this was easiest.
- 15:05Speaker 4: You know, you get hit that proverbial playoff wall like
- 15:07Speaker 4: he kept talking about, and this was an opportunity to
- 15:09Speaker 4: go in a different direction. So I agree with you
- 15:11Speaker 4: that I think that Bean is going to be running
- 15:13Speaker 4: out of places to hide, and he's got to understand.
- 15:15Speaker 4: And it's funny about being the funny thing. And that's
- 15:18Speaker 4: why I said what I said is that, you know,
- 15:19Speaker 4: I think he's a bullshitter, Like he's you know, he's
- 15:21Speaker 4: a good bullshitter. Like he tells us that, you know,
- 15:24Speaker 4: we don't need wide receivers. Everybody eats, and then he
- 15:26Speaker 4: goes out after you know, week five or whatever, and
- 15:28Speaker 4: he goes and trades for Marik Cooper. Then last year
- 15:30Speaker 4: tells us, oh no, it's everybody eats and we scored
- 15:33Speaker 4: thirty points a game. He goes on WGR pumping his chest,
- 15:35Speaker 4: and then what happens by the end of the year
- 15:38Speaker 4: trade deadline, it's you know, hey, I tried to trade
- 15:40Speaker 4: for guys.
- 15:40Speaker 3: You know, these new gms just don't want to make
- 15:42Speaker 3: a trade. Like.
- 15:43Speaker 4: So I think that he realizes that the wide receiver
- 15:45Speaker 4: room needs help. I think that he would be an
- 15:47Speaker 4: idiot if he didn't have his finger on the post
- 15:49Speaker 4: to see that Josh Allen needs more weapons that are reliable.
- 15:53Speaker 4: The fact that you're throwing the Brandon Cooks down the
- 15:55Speaker 4: stretch and and Mikole Harbin who were not on this team.
- 15:57Speaker 4: Elijah Moore is on the other team after you had
- 16:00Speaker 4: paid him, like there's there's there's plenty of evidence that
- 16:04Speaker 4: that Josh needs more help in respects to the wide
- 16:06Speaker 4: receiver room in the pass catcher. So hopefully he gets it.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Hopefully he swallows his bride. And that's regardless of what
- 16:11Speaker 4: he tells us. I could give a shit what he
- 16:12Speaker 4: tells us and how he wants to have that pravado
- 16:15Speaker 4: and that ego. You better understand what your job is,
- 16:18Speaker 4: and your job is to make sure that a seventeen's
- 16:20Speaker 4: life is as easy as possible coming into a pivotal year,
- 16:23Speaker 4: because this is really the start of the back end
- 16:27Speaker 4: of Josh Allaen's career, the second act of his career,
- 16:29Speaker 4: if you will, so it'll be important now. The reason
- 16:32Speaker 4: that I named the episode of the way that I
- 16:34Speaker 4: did DT was because you know, this dude it he's
- 16:37Speaker 4: got he's got the energy and it and the best
- 16:40Speaker 4: line of the press conference was you know him saying
- 16:43Speaker 4: that he is the weather and that you're gonna feel
- 16:45Speaker 4: me every single day.
- 16:45Speaker 3: And like, I liked it, you know what I mean.
- 16:47Speaker 4: I like the fact that he's got this he's got
- 16:50Speaker 4: this attitude and this infectious like energy that it's it's
- 16:54Speaker 4: not phony. I will I will say that, I'll put
- 16:56Speaker 4: my hand up right now because I know how to
- 16:58Speaker 4: call out a bullshitter.
- 16:59Speaker 3: I do not think that he's being phony at all.
- 17:01Speaker 4: I think he really believes the things that he's saying,
- 17:03Speaker 4: and he wants to bring in a culture where I
- 17:07Speaker 4: think that it's gonna be a little bit intense but looser.
- 17:10Speaker 3: At the same time.
- 17:11Speaker 4: I don't know if that makes sense, but it was
- 17:13Speaker 4: funny because what's his name, Alec Anderson kind of spoke
- 17:17Speaker 4: to it. He said when he was talking yesterday, he
- 17:19Speaker 4: was like, well, you know, now we can walk around
- 17:22Speaker 4: the facility and we don't.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Have to have our asses you know tight, you know
- 17:24Speaker 3: what I mean.
- 17:25Speaker 4: And I think that McDermott is such a stickler for,
- 17:28Speaker 4: you know, details, and he wants everything buttoned up. And
- 17:30Speaker 4: I know that he got a little bit better with
- 17:32Speaker 4: that towards the end of his tenure. But he was
- 17:34Speaker 4: known for being a hard ass and then you've got
- 17:36Speaker 4: the Tyler Dunn piece and things like that, kind of
- 17:38Speaker 4: highlighting some of those different tendencies that he has. I
- 17:41Speaker 4: think that Joe Brady will bring a more relaxed atmosphere
- 17:44Speaker 4: but then still want to get results, and I think
- 17:46Speaker 4: that that's a fine line that you've got to walk.
- 17:48Speaker 4: He talked about it a couple times in his press
- 17:50Speaker 4: conference out I'm not the offensive coordinator anymore.
- 17:52Speaker 3: I'm the head coach.
- 17:53Speaker 4: I can't wait he can win on Pat McAfee and said,
- 17:55Speaker 4: I can't wait for Josh to throw a fucking pick
- 17:57Speaker 4: so I can be, you know, cheering with the defense
- 18:00Speaker 4: and showing them how I'm on their side to And
- 18:02Speaker 4: I think that that's going to be really important. It's
- 18:04Speaker 4: to kind of separate, you know, o C from head coach.
- 18:07Speaker 4: He's now CEO, like they keep talking about, He's now
- 18:10Speaker 4: the runner of the franchise. He runs everything in respect
- 18:12Speaker 4: of the football department, and I think it's going to
- 18:14Speaker 4: be very important for him to get that message across
- 18:16Speaker 4: quick and early so that the guys on the defense
- 18:19Speaker 4: knows that this guy is not just here to paint
- 18:20Speaker 4: it to Josh Allen. He's here to coach us and
- 18:22Speaker 4: he's gonna coach us and be and have our backs.
- 18:24Speaker 4: I think it's important, sure, And that's a great way
- 18:27Speaker 4: to put it.
- 18:27Speaker 2: The you know, gonna be looser but more intense, And
- 18:30Speaker 2: I think that's exactly why, like you know McDermott, very stoic,
- 18:35Speaker 2: very you know, even keeled, never too high, never too low.
- 18:38Speaker 2: But you know, like you said, the details and walking
- 18:40Speaker 2: around with you when you're with your asshole tight whatever.
- 18:42Speaker 1: The case is.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Yeah, you know with Joe Brady, Joe Brady on the
- 18:47Speaker 2: the fact that he's gonna come out and be intense
- 18:50Speaker 2: and get in your face, and he was saying like,
- 18:51Speaker 2: you know, he cusses and he's and he and he
- 18:54Speaker 2: goes in and you know we're starting to, you know,
- 18:58Speaker 2: get into that new level of like before Sean McDermott.
- 19:01Speaker 2: You look around the league and you see all these
- 19:03Speaker 2: things happen and there's a little bit of I think
- 19:05Speaker 2: Bill's mafia. I definitely a part of me, Like not
- 19:08Speaker 2: that I was screaming to get rid of Sean all
- 19:10Speaker 2: the time, but the fact of a little jealousy on
- 19:13Speaker 2: like other teams, like getting those coaches around the league,
- 19:16Speaker 2: right the Dan Campbell's the Dan Campbell's and Detroit. You're
- 19:19Speaker 2: coming in and it's a spectacle and the you know,
- 19:22Speaker 2: you're you're in the headlines because you're intense and the
- 19:24Speaker 2: team loves you, and you're younger, and you know, the
- 19:27Speaker 2: guys like Mike McDaniel coming in where he you know,
- 19:29Speaker 2: he fell off at the end.
- 19:31Speaker 1: And she got his shit got old.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly that type of you know vibe was like, oh,
- 19:37Speaker 2: like that's you know, that would be that would be
- 19:40Speaker 2: cool to have here one day.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Not just like this old school kind.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Of dark, you know, boring vibe where it's like, yes,
- 19:48Speaker 2: it's but that also vibe directs directly related to our
- 19:54Speaker 2: downfalls and our seasons, right like, yes, that gets you,
- 19:58Speaker 2: that gets you consistency, that gets you the twelve wins,
- 20:00Speaker 2: that gets you into the playoffs. But then we got
- 20:03Speaker 2: to the playoffs and it was still that same you know,
- 20:06Speaker 2: that same line right there.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Wasn't it's just another game. It's just another game.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Like no, like it's it's okay to get all pumped
- 20:13Speaker 2: up for somebody on your schedule, you know, like is
- 20:15Speaker 2: a rivalry. It's okay to you know, not be so
- 20:17Speaker 2: stoic and and this and that and then when you
- 20:20Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, yes, you there.
- 20:23Speaker 1: You need to adapt.
- 20:24Speaker 2: You need to might be have energy where you didn't
- 20:26Speaker 2: have energy to get that inch to get We talked
- 20:28Speaker 2: about it for four years now, rob the game of
- 20:31Speaker 2: inches and getting burnt on that inch in these in
- 20:34Speaker 2: these losses, like you might need that little extra energy
- 20:37Speaker 2: to give that pop in that inch. So it's gonna
- 20:40Speaker 2: look completely different. I think it's something in the back
- 20:43Speaker 2: of our heads. Maybe we weren't vocal about it, but
- 20:46Speaker 2: all of us kind of wanted and we're jealous of
- 20:48Speaker 2: around the league of like these other young coaches coming
- 20:50Speaker 2: in and making like names for themselves with their energy.
- 20:54Speaker 2: And I think we're gonna see that now with with
- 20:55Speaker 2: Joe Brady in the Buffalo Bill. So it it's interesting.
- 20:59Speaker 2: We don't know if it's gonna work, right. That's our
- 21:01Speaker 2: fear of it, you know, of of getting away from
- 21:04Speaker 2: that detail and that plane line, Like if it's too
- 21:08Speaker 2: corny and too bs and it drops under it, Oh
- 21:11Speaker 2: well then we would rather have the plane line and
- 21:13Speaker 2: the details. But you know, I think obviously there's it's
- 21:18Speaker 2: not gonna be reckless. I don't think I think it's
- 21:20Speaker 2: you know, these as part of the continuity and being
- 21:23Speaker 2: part This dude was on the Sean mcgermot tree.
- 21:25Speaker 1: He learned a lot of things from Sean mcgrimmat the
- 21:27Speaker 1: past four years. And what do you think he's gonna
- 21:30Speaker 1: do when he sits down at this head coaching table
- 21:32Speaker 1: where he has no experience? Well, what do we do? Well?
- 21:35Speaker 1: What what have I learned from other head coaches in
- 21:37Speaker 1: my life?
- 21:38Speaker 3: This is it?
- 21:39Speaker 2: So I think I think he's going to use that
- 21:41Speaker 2: to settle himself down a little but still have his
- 21:44Speaker 2: own identity and mark on it. And that's why, you know,
- 21:47Speaker 2: that's why they hired him. I think at the end
- 21:48Speaker 2: of the day, like because he is who he is.
- 21:50Speaker 2: He isn't you know, and so kind of contradicting what
- 21:52Speaker 2: we said about being a guest man. Maybe, you know,
- 21:55Speaker 2: Joe Brady has his own identity, but he's definitely gonna
- 21:57Speaker 2: pull from the stoic you know, dissessors before him.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he talked to you, you're right about that.
- 22:05Speaker 4: You know, he had talked about how he comes from
- 22:07Speaker 4: the Sean Payton coaching tree. We know how much of
- 22:09Speaker 4: a prick that Sean Payton is, but Sean Payton wins.
- 22:11Speaker 3: He wins football games.
- 22:13Speaker 4: You know, he's won a Super Bowl, He's been successful,
- 22:15Speaker 4: he's a great offensive mine.
- 22:17Speaker 3: You know, minus that.
- 22:18Speaker 4: That decision to go forward and fourth now the other
- 22:21Speaker 4: day that might have cost him a chance in the
- 22:22Speaker 4: Super Bowl and that blizzard. But you know, Sean Payton
- 22:24Speaker 4: knows how to win football games. You know he's gonna
- 22:26Speaker 4: pull from Sean McDermott and some of the experiences that
- 22:29Speaker 4: he had with him, for sure.
- 22:30Speaker 3: So I agree with you on that.
- 22:31Speaker 4: I do like the fact because I'm unapologetically me and
- 22:36Speaker 4: I that just that resonates with me anybody that wants
- 22:39Speaker 4: to say, hey, this is who I am, Take me
- 22:41Speaker 4: or leave me, you know what I mean. Like, I'm
- 22:42Speaker 4: always going to be drawn to people like that. So
- 22:44Speaker 4: I actually like that about Joe Brady. I liked it
- 22:47Speaker 4: in this press conference absolute you were talking about how
- 22:49Speaker 4: he said I cussed, you know what I mean. It's
- 22:50Speaker 4: different things like that that he immediately goes back a
- 22:52Speaker 4: fee starts cussing, like you know what I mean. Like
- 22:54Speaker 4: I like that about him, like just be you and
- 22:56Speaker 4: and the fact that he is himself. Players can can
- 23:00Speaker 4: and respect that when you're inauthentic, when you are a phony,
- 23:04Speaker 4: a fake player.
- 23:05Speaker 3: See right through that.
- 23:05Speaker 4: These are grown men, fifty three of them in the
- 23:07Speaker 4: locker room plus practice squad. If you're trying to be
- 23:10Speaker 4: somebody that you're not, that's how you lose the locker room.
- 23:12Speaker 4: It's not from you know, making tough decisions or or
- 23:15Speaker 4: cracking down on guys when they fuck up or anything
- 23:17Speaker 4: like that.
- 23:17Speaker 3: That's not what loses you the locker room.
- 23:18Speaker 4: The losing locker room is when you pretend to be
- 23:21Speaker 4: one way and then you want to be another way,
- 23:22Speaker 4: when you want to be a you know, a softy
- 23:24Speaker 4: and then you try to be a heart ass.
- 23:26Speaker 3: That's what Mike.
- 23:26Speaker 4: McDaniel went through down to Miami because he couldn't control
- 23:28Speaker 4: that locker room for a little while, and then you know,
- 23:30Speaker 4: you got Tyreek and Jalen going crazy, and then he's
- 23:33Speaker 4: trying to hunker it down.
- 23:34Speaker 3: What doesn't work because we already know that you you.
- 23:36Speaker 4: Really don't give a shit about being on time to stuff,
- 23:38Speaker 4: so you can't change your stripes. I think that Joe
- 23:41Speaker 4: Brady is authentic. I think that he will be himself
- 23:43Speaker 4: and I and that's one of the things that I'm
- 23:46Speaker 4: looking forward to before we go forward and transition. But
- 23:49Speaker 4: last thing DT about that press conference was that when
- 23:52Speaker 4: I heard him, you know, kind of talking about his
- 23:54Speaker 4: relationship with Josh, I thought that it was important and
- 23:57Speaker 4: I thought that any any candidate was going to have
- 24:01Speaker 4: to relay how are you going to make Josh's life easier?
- 24:04Speaker 4: We talked about it all the times with layup lines,
- 24:06Speaker 4: and we've had those episodes where and that's where I
- 24:09Speaker 4: think that Brandon Bean is so so important that he
- 24:12Speaker 4: really I hope he's bullshitting that he understand that this
- 24:14Speaker 4: wide receiver room ain't cutting it, because if you give
- 24:18Speaker 4: Josh the weapons. I think that Joe Brady he was
- 24:20Speaker 4: asked one time, were you able to call games the
- 24:24Speaker 4: way that you wanted to call games? And he kind
- 24:26Speaker 4: of danced around it a little bit and said that,
- 24:28Speaker 4: you know, there's a certain way to win a game,
- 24:30Speaker 4: and we have come up with a plan or whatever
- 24:31Speaker 4: the case may be. I think that he I don't
- 24:34Speaker 4: think that he necessarily wants to be the run the
- 24:36Speaker 4: heaviest team in the league. They asked Josh about it
- 24:38Speaker 4: when Josh had his portion to the media right after
- 24:41Speaker 4: that press conference, and he talked about, well, you know,
- 24:43Speaker 4: I don't. It's not like I want to be number one,
- 24:45Speaker 4: but I also don't want to be number thirty two.
- 24:47Speaker 4: You know, there's a balance in there, there's a you
- 24:49Speaker 4: know what I mean the case may be. So I
- 24:50Speaker 4: think that they both get it. I think that they understand.
- 24:53Speaker 4: And maybe maybe that was Maybe it wasn't that Sean
- 24:57Speaker 4: McDermott was calling plays. I know that he wasn't, but
- 24:59Speaker 4: maybe it wasn't that Sean was telling him ahead of time,
- 25:01Speaker 4: you need to run the ball forty five times today
- 25:03Speaker 4: or what in the case may be.
- 25:04Speaker 3: But maybe it was just.
- 25:05Speaker 4: More implied with the game plan leading up to that week, like, well,
- 25:08Speaker 4: this team, does you know they got a great pass rush,
- 25:10Speaker 4: you know, we might want to run it more. You
- 25:11Speaker 4: know where you got to kind of like, you know what,
- 25:14Speaker 4: you know what your boss is really asking without saying it,
- 25:16Speaker 4: you know what, so if you go rogue, then it
- 25:19Speaker 4: kind of puts you in a bad light. Maybe now
- 25:21Speaker 4: that he's free to run the offense, he's now the
- 25:24Speaker 4: head coach, he's running everything, maybe we might see a
- 25:26Speaker 4: different type of offense. I really was interested to see
- 25:28Speaker 4: what you thought about that, because that's been going around.
- 25:31Speaker 4: That was my first tweet was that, well, maybe you know,
- 25:34Speaker 4: maybe we better all pray that he was just.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Running mcdermot's offense.
- 25:36Speaker 4: And people are like, well mcderptt doesn't call plays and
- 25:39Speaker 4: YadA YadA, and I'm like, I know that, but like
- 25:41Speaker 4: anytime you're getting pressure from your boss, you kind of
- 25:44Speaker 4: know and you can feel it whether it's said or
- 25:46Speaker 4: it's or it's unset. So I'm I'm really looking forward
- 25:48Speaker 4: to seeing if he gets a chance to kind of
- 25:50Speaker 4: open this thing up. Yes we were effective, Yes we
- 25:52Speaker 4: had effective offenses running the ball.
- 25:54Speaker 3: I know that we put up points per game.
- 25:56Speaker 4: All the analytic guys want to tell me about the
- 25:58Speaker 4: number one in DVOA or EPA play.
- 26:01Speaker 3: I get it.
- 26:02Speaker 4: You should not be paying a quarter of a billion
- 26:04Speaker 4: dollars to a quarterback to be the most run heaviest
- 26:08Speaker 4: team in the league.
- 26:08Speaker 3: You can get anybody to do that.
- 26:10Speaker 4: You don't need Josh Allen to be the run heaviest
- 26:12Speaker 4: team in the league. I think that they're going to
- 26:14Speaker 4: get away from it just a little bit. You can
- 26:15Speaker 4: still sprinkle James in, but he does not have to
- 26:18Speaker 4: be the entire offense.
- 26:20Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to have wrinkles of it. You want
- 26:23Speaker 2: to alleviate some pressure of seventeen and have a run
- 26:26Speaker 2: game to be able to go to if you need it.
- 26:28Speaker 2: But the run game sets up a lot, as Josh
- 26:30Speaker 2: said yesterday, the you know, the play action, your looks downfield,
- 26:33Speaker 2: that's all needed by a good run game. I think
- 26:36Speaker 2: it was a little different if if if I had
- 26:39Speaker 2: to like, you know, conspiraate what's the word I'm looking
- 26:43Speaker 2: for the if I had to conspire, you know, the
- 26:48Speaker 2: fact of like it might not have been in the
- 26:50Speaker 2: game plan of like, hey, we need you to run
- 26:52Speaker 2: this many times this game. I think maybe it was
- 26:54Speaker 2: more situational in game stuff, right, and that showing Sean
- 26:59Speaker 2: mcdermot's true ca there of like the bend don't break
- 27:01Speaker 2: and like play not to lose by a lot and
- 27:04Speaker 2: and you know that kind of changed over the years,
- 27:06Speaker 2: but there was still that tightness to them where we
- 27:08Speaker 2: never got too far in either direction. And I think
- 27:11Speaker 2: maybe in game situationally, all right, we're coming into this drive.
- 27:15Speaker 2: This needs to be a twelve play drive. This needs
- 27:17Speaker 2: to be a you know this, we need seven minutes
- 27:19Speaker 2: off the clock on this drive, you know, like in
- 27:21Speaker 2: like okay, shoot here here we are we can't stop
- 27:24Speaker 2: him on d so like or whatever the case was,
- 27:26Speaker 2: and Sean McDermott kind of just getting back to that
- 27:28Speaker 2: tightness and then all right, Joe, this is what needs
- 27:31Speaker 2: to happen on the next drive. And then Joe's like, well,
- 27:33Speaker 2: I wanted to kind of do this, but okay, now
- 27:36Speaker 2: we'll just we'll just got it got And so I
- 27:39Speaker 2: think it might have been My guess would be, you know,
- 27:42Speaker 2: would be a little more like that where it wasn't
- 27:44Speaker 2: so much in the game plan, but in actual game
- 27:47Speaker 2: time when Sean got kind of tight and like, okay,
- 27:49Speaker 2: we we we can't fuck up and we can't you know,
- 27:51Speaker 2: let big plays up against us, and we can't you know,
- 27:53Speaker 2: we Yeah, let's rock, let's rock an eight minute drive here,
- 27:59Speaker 2: Let's I need fourteen plays here, I need, you know.
- 28:01Speaker 2: And and obviously, if if you hear that, you're not going,
- 28:05Speaker 2: you know, play action deep on the first play, right,
- 28:07Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna lull to sleep and try to
- 28:10Speaker 2: you know, concede into that, into that strategy and and
- 28:14Speaker 2: get points out of it. But if either way there
- 28:17Speaker 2: you know, there's some there was some regulation on this
- 28:20Speaker 2: guy there there was like Seann mc derm's that coach,
- 28:23Speaker 2: and I hope there's regulation when Joe Brady's head coach.
- 28:26Speaker 2: I hope there's regulation on the rest of the staff
- 28:29Speaker 2: from him. Like that's the point of being the head
- 28:32Speaker 2: coach where there is an answer, there is a hierarchy
- 28:35Speaker 2: and people have to answer to you. So I think
- 28:37Speaker 2: there will be a little more looseness when it comes
- 28:39Speaker 2: to Joe Brady there. But I also think he understands
- 28:42Speaker 2: the gravity of the situation and knows he can't go,
- 28:44Speaker 2: you know, cowboy right out of the gate and just
- 28:46Speaker 2: start running you know, all spread all goes all the
- 28:50Speaker 2: time either, right, So what we talked about earlier of
- 28:53Speaker 2: him taking stuff from Sean and kind of that consistency
- 28:57Speaker 2: and composure and you know, sto wickness, but also adding
- 29:01Speaker 2: his flare to it. So I definitely think there was
- 29:04Speaker 2: regulation at some point, you know, between Sean and Joe Brady,
- 29:08Speaker 2: and I think maybe you know, that led to some
- 29:11Speaker 2: of these things that Joe Brady did that kind of
- 29:13Speaker 2: pissed us all off, right, or he's like, okay, well
- 29:16Speaker 2: I got to run a twelve play drive here, so
- 29:19Speaker 2: you know that screenplay didn't work, so they don't think
- 29:22Speaker 2: it's coming again. So we're gonna run it again because
- 29:24Speaker 2: like to try to like double you know, reverse psychology
- 29:28Speaker 2: the defense and then another word again it's like, oh shoot,
- 29:30Speaker 2: like you know, but but I'm only doing this because
- 29:33Speaker 2: now I'm filling plays because it had to be a
- 29:34Speaker 2: seven minute drive, right, So maybe that takes a little
- 29:38Speaker 2: overthinking out of it for him, right where he won't
- 29:40Speaker 2: have time to get into his head like that. He
- 29:43Speaker 2: won't have time to double or triple check all his decisions.
- 29:45Speaker 2: It's just gonna be this is what we're doing. Let's go,
- 29:47Speaker 2: and then I got to move and check this defense.
- 29:49Speaker 2: I gotta move and check, you know. So I think
- 29:51Speaker 2: maybe a little off of him in in the fact
- 29:56Speaker 2: of like he's not solely focused tunnel vision on this.
- 29:59Speaker 2: It's got to be a twelve play drive. Will Mike
- 30:01Speaker 2: just more off the cuff. Let's run this and I
- 30:04Speaker 2: don't have time to really get into my head and
- 30:06Speaker 2: reverse psychic get a little bit more free.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just we're just running it.
- 30:10Speaker 2: So there was definitely regulation to him, and you know,
- 30:13Speaker 2: definitely guardrails, which I'm not upset with, you know, by
- 30:17Speaker 2: any means but how tight were those guardrails and what
- 30:20Speaker 2: type of person different is your brain going to be
- 30:23Speaker 2: without them out?
- 30:28Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it'll be interesting to see for sure as
- 30:31Speaker 4: we transition. You know, you know, they hire Pete Carmichael
- 30:34Speaker 4: today to be his OC. Brady has already come out
- 30:37Speaker 4: and said that he's going to call plays, so expect that.
- 30:39Speaker 3: You know, some people on Twitter were mad about the
- 30:41Speaker 3: hire for OC.
- 30:42Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't really, I don't care who the
- 30:43Speaker 4: OC is because the head coach is going to be
- 30:46Speaker 4: calling the plays.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And that's really what I wanted.
- 30:47Speaker 4: I wanted the head coach to walk with Josh and
- 30:50Speaker 4: to have that relationship with him where we're not churning
- 30:52Speaker 4: through offensive coordinators now as we transition DT on the
- 30:57Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball. He said everything that you're
- 30:59Speaker 4: supposed to say. I want to be aggressive. I want
- 31:01Speaker 4: them to react to us. I want them to, you
- 31:03Speaker 4: know what I mean, be fearful of playing the Buffalo Bills,
- 31:05Speaker 4: not up, you know, not the other way around.
- 31:07Speaker 3: He wants an attacking style defense.
- 31:09Speaker 4: You know some names out there they're talking about, you know,
- 31:12Speaker 4: for more player for us, Jim Leonard, who's out there
- 31:15Speaker 4: in Denver under Peyton and under Vance Joseph, who's had
- 31:18Speaker 4: a couple of interviews as well with some other teams.
- 31:21Speaker 4: I know that Jim Schwartz is not happy in Cleveland
- 31:23Speaker 4: that they over looked him and hired Todd Bonkin to
- 31:27Speaker 4: be a head coach, which was just laughable because I mean,
- 31:29Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean, not that there's anything against
- 31:31Speaker 4: Todd Monkin, but you had a you know, all these
- 31:33Speaker 4: different young guys that you could choose from, even Udinsky
- 31:36Speaker 4: was on there, and until he pulls his name out,
- 31:38Speaker 4: then there's this report that they wanted the guys to
- 31:41Speaker 4: take tests and all this other shit, and like what,
- 31:43Speaker 4: you're the fucking Cleveland Browns, Like why am I taking
- 31:45Speaker 4: a test? Like come on, man, Like it's just you know,
- 31:48Speaker 4: like read the room, like you know what I mean.
- 31:50Speaker 4: You need a good coach, Like you shouldn't be trying
- 31:52Speaker 4: to make it harder to get a good coach. So
- 31:54Speaker 4: it's just funny. But now Schwartz, who is familiar with
- 31:57Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills, maybe could come back if he can
- 31:59Speaker 4: get out of that contray. I think that it's going
- 32:01Speaker 4: to be important for him to bring in somebody that's
- 32:04Speaker 4: a veteran that knows what he's doing when I don't
- 32:06Speaker 4: think that it should.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Be another first timer.
- 32:09Speaker 4: I know that Jim Leonard is interesting with it when
- 32:11Speaker 4: it comes to that, but I'd like to see O
- 32:13Speaker 4: Raheem Morris or or a Jim Schwartz, somebody that's done
- 32:16Speaker 4: it before and just kind of let him run the
- 32:18Speaker 4: reins and have the defense. That is the number one
- 32:20Speaker 4: thing about the offensive coach that I'm so happy about,
- 32:23Speaker 4: regardless of who it was, was that we will not
- 32:25Speaker 4: be churning over OC's anymore, whether they were good at
- 32:28Speaker 4: their job or whether they were bad at their job.
- 32:31Speaker 4: You were going to be changing over in OC every
- 32:33Speaker 4: two three years. Now we can stop that. As long
- 32:35Speaker 4: as Brady is successful, I think it's going to be
- 32:38Speaker 4: important who he finds for defensive coordinator.
- 32:39Speaker 3: But I do think that it could be a different
- 32:41Speaker 3: looking defense.
- 32:42Speaker 4: It definitely is not gonna I don't think it's going
- 32:43Speaker 4: to be just been but don't break as we always
- 32:45Speaker 4: have seen.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, and I think you know we
- 32:49Speaker 2: we wanted change. We talk about change. Well, if we
- 32:52Speaker 2: look a little closer, Mafia and Nicol City Crew, like,
- 32:55Speaker 2: let's let's look at a complete flop on this right,
- 32:57Speaker 2: you look Seohn McDermott, you know, the older, stoic, defensive minded,
- 33:02Speaker 2: two young up and coming coordinators.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Right now, let's flip that.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Now we have the offensive minded, young head coach. Let's
- 33:11Speaker 2: get those veteran coordinators to kind of back him up
- 33:14Speaker 2: and keep him in check and kind of teach him
- 33:16Speaker 2: along the way if things like this is how it's done.
- 33:18Speaker 2: And with Carmichael, he was he's been a coach for
- 33:22Speaker 2: years and he was the OC, and you know, all
- 33:26Speaker 2: the way back with Drew Brees I think in San
- 33:28Speaker 2: Diego with the Saints for a while with that, and
- 33:32Speaker 2: Sean Payton called all those plays while he was the
- 33:35Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. So this dude is very comfortable coming in
- 33:38Speaker 2: and not being able to call plays, but definitely has
- 33:40Speaker 2: an understanding of how an offensive coordinator needs to be rolled.
- 33:44Speaker 2: And I think, you know, I don't know who his
- 33:47Speaker 2: head coaches were, you know, if he had to help
- 33:49Speaker 2: a younger coach along the way or anything like that.
- 33:51Speaker 2: I didn't look that deep into him, but I think,
- 33:54Speaker 2: you know, if we want to see the change, let's
- 33:56Speaker 2: see the whole flop here of old defensive minded coach,
- 34:00Speaker 2: young up and coming coordinators flip that young offensive coach
- 34:04Speaker 2: now stoic you know, experienced roundators to come help them
- 34:09Speaker 2: and get his back a little in that. And they
- 34:10Speaker 2: did that on the offensive side. We'll see what happens
- 34:12Speaker 2: on the defensive side. But with the way the defense looks, yes,
- 34:15Speaker 2: I think it is going to change. I think, you know,
- 34:18Speaker 2: there something has to be said about putting this much
- 34:21Speaker 2: capital into the defensive side of the ball and really
- 34:24Speaker 2: seeing no change, you know, year in and year out,
- 34:26Speaker 2: Like we're throwing guys out, like drafting, everybody signing guys,
- 34:30Speaker 2: throwing people into the defense, and it looks exactly the
- 34:34Speaker 2: same each and every year. Right, So I think some
- 34:37Speaker 2: you know, talking about being a yes man and following
- 34:39Speaker 2: the alignment of Brandon Bean, Brandon Bean is probably like, bro,
- 34:42Speaker 2: I'm throwing forty people a year at this defense and
- 34:45Speaker 2: we're not seeing anything different. So let's change up some scheme.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Let's try to get who we got on this defense
- 34:51Speaker 2: a lot more impactful. And I think that, you know,
- 34:53Speaker 2: because there is young guys kind of all the way
- 34:54Speaker 2: around that if we find their potential, you know, we
- 34:57Speaker 2: could be good. But there's also guys out there that
- 35:00Speaker 2: we're are playmakers. And we have contracts for and are
- 35:03Speaker 2: paid that you don't even know. We are out on the field,
- 35:05Speaker 2: you know, majority of the time. So I think the
- 35:07Speaker 2: defense needs to look different. I think it needs to
- 35:10Speaker 2: you know, fit into like we have personnel, will it
- 35:14Speaker 2: Let's do something else to see if this personnel plays
- 35:16Speaker 2: better in this because we keep throwing all these resources
- 35:20Speaker 2: at it and it looks exactly the same. So I'm
- 35:21Speaker 2: excited to see the little difference in that. I also
- 35:24Speaker 2: think there's a vibe on the defensive side of the
- 35:25Speaker 2: ball with Joe Brady's confidence on the offensive side, that's
- 35:29Speaker 2: again opposite of Sean McDermott. Sean McDermott maybe didn't trust
- 35:34Speaker 2: the offense enough so he kind of bottled them up
- 35:38Speaker 2: and then we're gonna.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Win it on defense.
- 35:40Speaker 2: On this side, I think the mentality swift into you
- 35:43Speaker 2: know what we've kind of been talking about, like let's
- 35:45Speaker 2: go out and just score forty, like screw them, like
- 35:47Speaker 2: they gotta you know, they gotta come score on us.
- 35:51Speaker 2: And if we do, if we are aggressive and not
- 35:54Speaker 2: playing that vend don't break and fifteen yards off the
- 35:56Speaker 2: receiver on third down when we blitzed the first when
- 35:59Speaker 2: we blitz the first, first and second, and then we
- 36:01Speaker 2: played prevent defense and they convert third and longs twice,
- 36:04Speaker 2: you know, on a winning drive in the last game
- 36:07Speaker 2: of the season. I think maybe we see more aggressive.
- 36:10Speaker 2: What happens with more aggressive you your risk increases to
- 36:13Speaker 2: get burn more. But but I think that swaggerness of
- 36:17Speaker 2: Joe Brady says, well, screw it, if we get burned,
- 36:20Speaker 2: we're just gonna go get seven with seventeen, like fuck it.
- 36:22Speaker 2: So I think we will see a different look on
- 36:25Speaker 2: the defense. We will see it a lot more aggressive.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Not that he doesn't care about it, but I think,
- 36:30Speaker 2: you know, let's try to be more aggressive, try different personnel,
- 36:33Speaker 2: see if we can get a playmaker in here. We
- 36:35Speaker 2: already have and if we get burn a few times,
- 36:38Speaker 2: that's on me to get the offense rolling to make
- 36:40Speaker 2: up for it.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be interesting because you know, and not only
- 36:44Speaker 4: not only is that you could get burnt, but you
- 36:45Speaker 4: know you can force the offense to make some mistakes
- 36:47Speaker 4: as well. You know, there's a flip side to that
- 36:49Speaker 4: coin as well that sometimes you know, chaos can create confusion.
- 36:52Speaker 4: So sometimes when you're you're blitzing or you're being aggressive,
- 36:55Speaker 4: in your disguising coverages, which mcgummott was good at disguising coverages,
- 36:58Speaker 4: but it was.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Just very very vanilla.
- 37:00Speaker 4: It was very very like you said, it was just
- 37:03Speaker 4: sit back too many times and we've seen it over
- 37:06Speaker 4: and over again, so which is why I was never
- 37:08Speaker 4: I would I was never mad that McDermott was gone.
- 37:10Speaker 4: I wanted them to do the right things after he
- 37:12Speaker 4: was gone. And it'll be interesting to see how it
- 37:15Speaker 4: works from here on out, because I don't think that
- 37:17Speaker 4: aggressive means that you just have to get burnt. You
- 37:19Speaker 4: can also call some some fuck ups for the offense
- 37:21Speaker 4: as well, So it'll be interesting now as we begin
- 37:24Speaker 4: to transition and wrap up tonight. You know, DT, I
- 37:27Speaker 4: wanted to kind of get a season six preview. We
- 37:30Speaker 4: will be done Nickel City Crew till I don't know, man,
- 37:33Speaker 4: it's gonna take. It'll take a Justin Jefferson type surprise
- 37:37Speaker 4: trade for for us to get.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Back new GM over there.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Now.
- 37:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna go ahead on and
- 37:43Speaker 4: relax a little bit, stretch our feet. I've got no
- 37:46Speaker 4: interest in the super Bowl and what happens. I just
- 37:48Speaker 4: saw this come across before we started that the sea.
- 37:52Speaker 4: The Seahawks are going up for sale after the super
- 37:55Speaker 4: Bowl and then they could go.
- 37:56Speaker 3: For seven to eight billion.
- 37:57Speaker 4: I'm like, man, talk about striking with the Irons, like
- 38:00Speaker 4: that's that's the perfect time to sell.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Hi, it just made me chuckle.
- 38:07Speaker 4: So we'll all pray that Seattle wins and we don't
- 38:09Speaker 4: have to listen to Patriots fan all off season long
- 38:12Speaker 4: talking their ship. But after this, we're gonna just go
- 38:15Speaker 4: ahead and just relax a little bit. We will be
- 38:16Speaker 4: back at you guys. You guys know the DT and
- 38:18Speaker 4: I are not huge draft guys. We usually I already
- 38:21Speaker 4: know I'm definitely a guy who's on my team.
- 38:24Speaker 3: All right, what's his name? How do you spell his
- 38:26Speaker 3: last name? All right? Let me go to YouTube and
- 38:27Speaker 3: watch some highlight that's kind of what I am like.
- 38:29Speaker 4: I don't I don't get caught up in the minutia,
- 38:31Speaker 4: and I know that some people do, and that's to
- 38:33Speaker 4: each his own. I know that there's a bunch of
- 38:34Speaker 4: draft coverage and it's it's definitely consumed. But we're gonna
- 38:37Speaker 4: chill out. We will be back at you guys the
- 38:39Speaker 4: start of season six, right around, right around the draft,
- 38:43Speaker 4: right around you know, o TA stuff like that, start
- 38:45Speaker 4: getting ramped up and we'll be back for season six.
- 38:48Speaker 4: But as we wrap up season five, DT, I wanted
- 38:50Speaker 4: to get a preview. What do you think are going
- 38:53Speaker 4: to be some of the tent poles that that that
- 38:55Speaker 4: Joe Brady is looking for. We talked about aggressiveness, We
- 38:58Speaker 4: talked about his his attitude, different things like that.
- 39:01Speaker 3: We've even talked.
- 39:02Speaker 4: About how I'm worried about you know, uh, excuse me,
- 39:05Speaker 4: Brandon Bean and him understanding and realizing this wide receiver
- 39:08Speaker 4: room is really really in bad shape. What are you
- 39:11Speaker 4: looking forward to see some of the things throughout this
- 39:13Speaker 4: off season as we look at it from afar that
- 39:15Speaker 4: that'll kind of give us some tells that that Brady's
- 39:18Speaker 4: getting what he wants, you know, getting what he wants
- 39:19Speaker 4: to a lesser degree.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Well, good news today, salary cap comes out and obviously
- 39:24Speaker 2: increases pieces every year, but.
- 39:27Speaker 3: We got to save money.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Yeah, him telling us that ship, yeah, and a decent
- 39:31Speaker 2: you know, decent amount increased. So that's gonna help out
- 39:34Speaker 2: a lot, you know. So I think he's gonna look,
- 39:36Speaker 2: you know, strictly to have that mentality of that new face,
- 39:39Speaker 2: that new vibe, like almost overcompensate because now the criticism
- 39:44Speaker 2: is so heavily like we need to change. Well, then
- 39:47Speaker 2: where was the change? I said, I texted you this today.
- 39:49Speaker 2: It was like it's like shitt in your pants and
- 39:51Speaker 2: changing your shirt, you know, like what did we really change?
- 39:54Speaker 1: But as we kind of broke as we broke.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Down, you know, a little tonight, like there is a
- 39:59Speaker 2: lot or change, you know, then to the naked eye,
- 40:02Speaker 2: like right out of the gate, yes we know the
- 40:03Speaker 2: name Joe Brady, but once we kind of broke it
- 40:05Speaker 2: down there, it's gonna look completely different. It's it's completely
- 40:08Speaker 2: opposite of what Sean McDermott was. It's it's young offensive.
- 40:12Speaker 2: So I think he's gonna really, you know, try to
- 40:14Speaker 2: put that you know, effort into making the change. And
- 40:18Speaker 2: and it's it's a tricky line because you don't want
- 40:20Speaker 2: to overcompensate to just just do it like see or changing.
- 40:24Speaker 2: But it's like way too in the other direction and
- 40:27Speaker 2: it gets wonky. But I think he's really gonna put
- 40:29Speaker 2: his stuff, you know, in into it and really put
- 40:32Speaker 2: his energy into making a new identity for this team
- 40:36Speaker 2: that's gonna come with. I think a lot you're gonna
- 40:38Speaker 2: see just with salary cap purposes, there's gonna be a
- 40:40Speaker 2: lot of different names on this team next year. These
- 40:43Speaker 2: guys were paying too much money for that, aren't contributing
- 40:45Speaker 2: to the squad. Are gonna have to get restructured, are
- 40:48Speaker 2: gonna have to go, and other people are gonna have
- 40:50Speaker 2: to come in. So I think that's how it's gonna
- 40:52Speaker 2: kind of start. And then you know that mentality, which
- 40:55Speaker 2: I really liked what he was saying about, because that's
- 40:57Speaker 2: kind of where I get to like and where I
- 40:59Speaker 2: was in the playoffs and matchups and.
- 41:01Speaker 1: The Jaguars matter. They match up so much better than
- 41:03Speaker 1: us all that bullshit.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Roll the ball out and play, baby, like you roll
- 41:08Speaker 2: the ball out and play, and we have proven and
- 41:11Speaker 2: seventeen has proven wherever that ball rolls out, he's in
- 41:14Speaker 2: the game no matter what. Right, So that's that's still
- 41:17Speaker 2: going to be the case. But that fact of you
- 41:19Speaker 2: got to play us, you got to play us, and
- 41:22Speaker 2: that is different from the mentality of like, well it's
- 41:26Speaker 2: this is it's trust the process, it's the Bill's way,
- 41:29Speaker 2: and it really doesn't matter outside forces. This is like
- 41:31Speaker 2: I don't you know, I can know who you are,
- 41:34Speaker 2: but you got to play us and that uh. And
- 41:36Speaker 2: so I'm looking forward to that type of energy being
- 41:39Speaker 2: jolted into this into this community and into this team.
- 41:43Speaker 2: And you know the continuity piece of you know, use
- 41:46Speaker 2: that to your advantage. The team already respects you, The
- 41:48Speaker 2: team already knows you. You know, So you don't have
- 41:51Speaker 2: to go in there and kiss ass to anybody, right
- 41:53Speaker 2: like like.
- 41:54Speaker 1: You you like, maybe maybe be to be cool if
- 41:57Speaker 1: that's what, why whatever, But.
- 41:59Speaker 2: I don't know of the rest of the staff going there,
- 42:01Speaker 2: and you don't have to kiss ask to anybody. So
- 42:03Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to, you know, practice what you preacher.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Let's see that change, Let's see that energy. We're gonna
- 42:08Speaker 2: see some roster movement. Hopefully we get a receiver. I
- 42:11Speaker 2: mean it's they were breaking down on gr today, how
- 42:14Speaker 2: it like how they could how quickly we could not
- 42:17Speaker 2: get a receiver and just kind of weighe in what
- 42:20Speaker 2: we have and say, well, this is good enough, but
- 42:23Speaker 2: we need something to change in that regard.
- 42:25Speaker 1: I I don't care. I do hope we don't draft.
- 42:28Speaker 1: I hope we don't draft. Trade the draft, screw it,
- 42:31Speaker 1: Like what like, what do you mean what do you
- 42:33Speaker 1: mean by that?
- 42:34Speaker 2: What do you mean I want to I want to
- 42:36Speaker 2: trade a drift player for a playmaker.
- 42:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 42:39Speaker 1: I don't need to draft anybody this year.
- 42:41Speaker 4: I mean, but well, it depends on who you're trading for,
- 42:44Speaker 4: because I mean it would depend I mean, if it's
- 42:46Speaker 4: justin Jefferson obviously, but sure.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm talking playing, I'm talking play maker or or
- 42:52Speaker 2: try to get like to get that guy that's you
- 42:55Speaker 2: know that we've been missing on in that in fifteen,
- 42:57Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen. That is all pro receivers all over the league,
- 43:01Speaker 2: you know, this year. So I'm looking forward to the
- 43:05Speaker 2: new energy. I'm looking forward to Joe Brady putting that
- 43:08Speaker 2: type of mentality into this team. And I think the
- 43:10Speaker 2: organization knows they kind of fucked up last week and
- 43:14Speaker 2: knows the temperature is really hot, and they're gonna really
- 43:17Speaker 2: be trying hard to win us back in the next
- 43:20Speaker 2: couple of months of like building that and building that
- 43:22Speaker 2: and building that.
- 43:23Speaker 1: I got that playmaker, we got that receiver now.
- 43:25Speaker 2: And then by the time all all that said and done,
- 43:28Speaker 2: we're gonna forget about how pissed off we were and
- 43:30Speaker 2: we're gonna get excited to roll again.
- 43:32Speaker 1: And so I think They're.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Gonna really try to overcompensate this energy to reel us
- 43:38Speaker 2: back in a little bit.
- 43:39Speaker 1: And I'm for And that's that's the thing.
- 43:45Speaker 2: You know, that's like where I'll stand in my soapbox
- 43:47Speaker 2: of like being you know a little perturbed by the
- 43:50Speaker 2: way that was handled last week because it felt like
- 43:53Speaker 2: thegool and being versus everyone, thegoole and being versus the mafia.
- 43:57Speaker 1: And you guys are idiots.
- 43:58Speaker 2: You don't know, you know, you don't know what you're
- 44:00Speaker 2: talking about. And you had ask the Kwon Jones how
- 44:02Speaker 2: that went for him last week, you know, so that
- 44:06Speaker 2: that that is it's just not like the people that
- 44:10Speaker 2: literally paid to build this stadium, the people that kids
- 44:13Speaker 2: might not go to college because they had to pay.
- 44:16Speaker 1: For a seat in this stadium.
- 44:18Speaker 2: You know, why don't you ease up with you know,
- 44:20Speaker 2: telling us we're idiots and you know, you run the
- 44:22Speaker 2: team and everything, right, So that's kind of the volume
- 44:25Speaker 2: right now, and they need to change that, and they're
- 44:27Speaker 2: gonna use Joe Brady as as the pawn piece to
- 44:31Speaker 2: change that.
- 44:32Speaker 1: And you know, I'm I'm for it.
- 44:34Speaker 2: I was pretty worked up this week, but that's that
- 44:37Speaker 2: that press conference, you know, got me.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I like it.
- 44:40Speaker 2: I like the energy, and there's some things like take right.
- 44:43Speaker 2: The continuity piece was something I really overlooked that, you know,
- 44:47Speaker 2: is crucial, Like we really don't have time for a
- 44:50Speaker 2: coach to come in here and learn the whole building
- 44:52Speaker 2: and learn the players and build a relationship with Josh
- 44:55Speaker 2: Allen and then if it week seven, eight nine, and
- 44:58Speaker 2: it's like, okay, now the coach is fine, familiar with
- 45:00Speaker 2: everybody and we're four and four some bullshit like, yeah,
- 45:03Speaker 2: we we don't have time for that. We got to
- 45:05Speaker 2: get it rolling, and it's the game of inches.
- 45:06Speaker 1: We need that inch.
- 45:07Speaker 2: So that continuity of Joe Brady knowing we need that
- 45:10Speaker 2: inch because he was there, he saw it, but already
- 45:13Speaker 2: having in respect to the whole building, I think that's
- 45:15Speaker 2: gonna go leaps and bound stuff. I didn't really think
- 45:18Speaker 2: about that. Now I kind of sit back and say
- 45:20Speaker 2: and say, okay, like that's gonna that's gonna be helpful.
- 45:23Speaker 2: That's not gonna hurt us, in the fact of, you know,
- 45:25Speaker 2: he knows people and he's familiar with the team, But
- 45:29Speaker 2: that's gonna be helpful. In the fact of, you know,
- 45:31Speaker 2: he's already a step ahead when it.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Comes to that.
- 45:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's funny that you had said that
- 45:36Speaker 4: because I was thinking the same thing. Like, you know,
- 45:38Speaker 4: it's you know, when you start disrespecting the fans, you know,
- 45:41Speaker 4: that's when things kind of go sideways. So I think
- 45:44Speaker 4: that Brady, you know he is he is so opposite
- 45:47Speaker 4: of McDermott that it actually could kind of work, you
- 45:50Speaker 4: know what I mean, like where it's not gonna be
- 45:52Speaker 4: just a you know, a whole thing about you know,
- 45:54Speaker 4: a guest man type of thing, or whatever the case
- 45:56Speaker 4: may be, or you know, there you.
- 45:57Speaker 3: Guys don't know what you talk about.
- 45:59Speaker 4: Like that press conference was so bad for some of
- 46:02Speaker 4: those reasons because I don't like to be talked down to.
- 46:04Speaker 4: I don't like to be treated like I'm you know,
- 46:06Speaker 4: like I'm not smart, or like I'm less than or
- 46:08Speaker 4: what are the case? And what is Foregoula though like
- 46:10Speaker 4: he's a he's a business billionaire, like this is his toy,
- 46:13Speaker 4: So like, don't tell me about you know about the personnel.
- 46:15Speaker 4: You know what Brandon Bean is telling you about the personnel,
- 46:17Speaker 4: So give me a break. You don't do draft evaluation.
- 46:20Speaker 4: So I think that it's very important for It was
- 46:22Speaker 4: very important for them to get a guy that somebody
- 46:24Speaker 4: can get behind. It seems like, you know, Brady is
- 46:27Speaker 4: going to be that guy.
- 46:27Speaker 3: I don't.
- 46:28Speaker 4: I don't have any I don't have any problems with
- 46:29Speaker 4: him or anything like that. I wanted it to make
- 46:31Speaker 4: sure that it was exhaustive. I understand why they didn't
- 46:33Speaker 4: wait for Clint Kubiak and to talk with him. With
- 46:35Speaker 4: the Super Bowl and the way that the rules are
- 46:37Speaker 4: set up, I get all of that type of stuff.
- 46:39Speaker 4: You know, you got staffs that need to be filled
- 46:41Speaker 4: and different things like that. So I understand it. I
- 46:43Speaker 4: think that it was a real process. Some people were
- 46:46Speaker 4: bitching that, well they didn't interview anybody twice. Well, if
- 46:48Speaker 4: you're in there for fucking three hours, like you know
- 46:50Speaker 4: what I mean? Like or four hours, like, well, why
- 46:51Speaker 4: do you need to talk to twy you know what
- 46:52Speaker 4: I mean? Like, you know, you go through it, you
- 46:54Speaker 4: talk to all the guys, and then you get in
- 46:56Speaker 4: a room and you start to think about what you
- 46:57Speaker 4: want to do. So I didn't have any problem with
- 46:59Speaker 4: the search. I think that it was exhaustive. I think
- 47:01Speaker 4: that it was real. I don't think that Brady was
- 47:04Speaker 4: the clubhouse leader or anything like that. But I do
- 47:06Speaker 4: think that the continuity piece. I think that we all
- 47:10Speaker 4: might have like underplayed it because you hit it on
- 47:12Speaker 4: the head. We don't even like you got to acclimate
- 47:15Speaker 4: this guy to Buffalo, how what kind of fan base
- 47:17Speaker 4: we are? All that type of stuff. Unless it was
- 47:19Speaker 4: unless it was gonna be dable. All of them were
- 47:21Speaker 4: going to have a learning curve. All of them were
- 47:23Speaker 4: gonna have to figure out what to say, what not
- 47:25Speaker 4: to say. You know, Ranch blue Cheese, And I know
- 47:27Speaker 4: that that's just a joke, but like.
- 47:29Speaker 3: But that.
- 47:31Speaker 4: Like everything going down, like you're gonna have to figure
- 47:33Speaker 4: out this fan base and how we tick and how
- 47:35Speaker 4: we play.
- 47:36Speaker 3: Because we're an educated fan base, both Bills and Sabers.
- 47:38Speaker 4: We know our shit, we know our football, we know
- 47:40Speaker 4: our hockey, so you can't really bullshit us in that respect.
- 47:42Speaker 4: And I think that that's what pissed a lot of
- 47:44Speaker 4: people off with that press conference last week, because we
- 47:46Speaker 4: all see the roster, we all know that we need help,
- 47:50Speaker 4: and I'm just praying that Brandon Bean is just kind
- 47:51Speaker 4: of just just swept up an ego and he's just
- 47:54Speaker 4: talking shit out there, and he wants to talk shit
- 47:56Speaker 4: as long as he does the right things that I'm fine, because,
- 47:58Speaker 4: like I said, we've given out examples of him a
- 48:00Speaker 4: Cooper and trying to trade for jaalen Wata last year,
- 48:02Speaker 4: that he he realizes he could talk shit, but he
- 48:05Speaker 4: realizes he knows what's going on. And I love that
- 48:07Speaker 4: point you made earlier in the show about there's no
- 48:09Speaker 4: really where else for him to hide. I don't care
- 48:11Speaker 4: if you sit next to the owner for the games
- 48:13Speaker 4: while the team is playing. Eventually he's gonna look at
- 48:16Speaker 4: you because he already fired a successful head coach that
- 48:19Speaker 4: was getting us to a certain level and couldn't get
- 48:21Speaker 4: us above. You can't keep telling me that you're supplying
- 48:23Speaker 4: the groceries and that the chef is fucked up.
- 48:25Speaker 3: Not after every meal, not now, I mean maybe one
- 48:28Speaker 3: or two meals.
- 48:28Speaker 4: You can get away with that, Like, man, that's crazy
- 48:30Speaker 4: that he didn't know how to cook, Like I don't know.
- 48:31Speaker 4: I got the precious produce and the greatest meats and
- 48:34Speaker 4: they were all USDA and then but every meal at
- 48:38Speaker 4: the end of the season's all it just tastes wrong
- 48:40Speaker 4: and it's just like it's weird. So I think that
- 48:42Speaker 4: you're absolutely right that he is eventually going to be
- 48:44Speaker 4: on the hot seat as well, and I think that
- 48:46Speaker 4: he knows that.
- 48:46Speaker 3: I do think that he knows that.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Yeah, And to stay on brand here, you know, Nickel
- 48:51Speaker 2: City Crewe. You know, I'm the homer, the optimist.
- 48:54Speaker 1: You know.
- 48:54Speaker 2: Sometimes have been you know, accused of having rose colored
- 48:57Speaker 2: glasses of this organization, and I you know, I hand
- 49:00Speaker 2: up on that, Like, definitely I have been a little
- 49:03Speaker 2: unreasonable at times. But my homer review of this situation is,
- 49:07Speaker 2: you know, it is a new look. We underplayed the
- 49:10Speaker 2: continuity piece that is going to be crucial. We have
- 49:14Speaker 2: to know that this dude is going to be learning
- 49:16Speaker 2: so much. There's just gonna be defaults he goes to
- 49:20Speaker 2: and the defaults he goes to or what he's gonna
- 49:22Speaker 2: know what was taught to him from Sean McDermott, Right,
- 49:25Speaker 2: So I think there is gonna be some regulation. There
- 49:27Speaker 2: is gonna be that detail orientation. There is gonna be
- 49:30Speaker 2: the you know the tightness of it. But with Joe
- 49:33Speaker 2: Brady's energy and different look, you know, all the way around,
- 49:36Speaker 2: so we're not losing everything. You know that we were like, well,
- 49:40Speaker 2: you know, Sean dings over the hump, but we liked
- 49:42Speaker 2: how consistent it was. I think we are still going
- 49:44Speaker 2: to see some of that consistency, but there's gonna be
- 49:46Speaker 2: a new look to it. I mean, if you really
- 49:48Speaker 2: want to dig in here, Joe Brady having a top
- 49:51Speaker 2: five offense the last three years with the roster that
- 49:54Speaker 2: we think is booty cheeks. If he and then if
- 49:59Speaker 2: we're we better get a receiver this year or the
- 50:02Speaker 2: fire is just gonna keep her more than it already is.
- 50:05Speaker 2: So if he gets some better personnel, how good can
- 50:07Speaker 2: Joe Brady do with a little better personnel? If he
- 50:10Speaker 2: was that good with a ship roster, what can he
- 50:12Speaker 2: do with a good roster? And that's obviously wherey Homer
- 50:14Speaker 2: asked there. But you know, I think we got to
- 50:17Speaker 2: look at the the the Definitely, that's something I underplayed heavily,
- 50:20Speaker 2: was the continuity piece and seeing that up at the
- 50:23Speaker 2: podium yesterday, the way he's looking over at the team,
- 50:26Speaker 2: the way he's addressing the players like he's already there.
- 50:29Speaker 2: You know, he's already in it, like they are, Like
- 50:31Speaker 2: these dudes after a heartbreaking loss, are here in Buffalo,
- 50:36Speaker 2: still sitting in this press conference. On Wednesday afternoon, Josh
- 50:39Speaker 2: Allen on crutches, you know, in this press conference on
- 50:42Speaker 2: on a Thursday afternoon, like it is it so like
- 50:45Speaker 2: that really spoke to me, Like just to him that
- 50:47Speaker 2: look over to the team, Okay, he's there, Like it's
- 50:50Speaker 2: not coach talk, like we're gonna rally together, we love
- 50:53Speaker 2: each other, and like it wasn't that. It was truly connected.
- 50:56Speaker 2: He truly is connected and that's something I downplayed. So
- 51:00Speaker 2: looking forward to all those positive pieces and you know,
- 51:03Speaker 2: hopefully yes we add a piece, and then what can
- 51:06Speaker 2: you do with a little better team, get alleviate a
- 51:08Speaker 2: little off Josh. I mean you said make Josh's life easier,
- 51:11Speaker 2: all right, looking standing at that press conference and looking
- 51:14Speaker 2: over at your you know, the the lifetime quarterback of
- 51:17Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills on crutches. That can't happen, right, This
- 51:21Speaker 2: dude can't be on crutches. Yes, we scaped out of it.
- 51:24Speaker 1: A little bit. Yes, it's not going to lead to
- 51:25Speaker 1: any more you know issues.
- 51:27Speaker 3: Hopefully that should be a wake up call.
- 51:29Speaker 2: Yes, listen, I don't want to ever see that dude
- 51:31Speaker 2: on crutches, right, so let's make it easier for him.
- 51:34Speaker 2: I'm already connected with the team. I have proven track
- 51:37Speaker 2: record with offense, give me another piece, let's see what
- 51:39Speaker 2: we can do. Let me put a new vibe on
- 51:41Speaker 2: this whole team, But it's still the same continuity you
- 51:45Speaker 2: know that we're not going to have to learn. So
- 51:47Speaker 2: that's that's kind of where I'm at with it right now.
- 51:49Speaker 4: No, I agree, as we wrap up tonight, I think
- 51:51Speaker 4: that it's just the it's exactly it's it's a new direction,
- 51:55Speaker 4: but not but not fading away from what has gotten
- 51:57Speaker 4: us what has gotten us there. So if and Brady
- 52:00Speaker 4: actually talked about it, he said, McDermott laid this foundation,
- 52:03Speaker 4: and it was it's funny that Brady had to be
- 52:05Speaker 4: the first motherfucker that had to give McDermott any credit credit,
- 52:09Speaker 4: Like I mean, it's just it's just ironic that like nobody,
- 52:12Speaker 4: you know, being and Pagoula, he was like for them
- 52:14Speaker 4: to say anything. And I'm and I'm the biggest McDermot
- 52:18Speaker 4: hater out here in the mafia that I know of.
- 52:20Speaker 4: And I could even like say, like, well, he did
- 52:22Speaker 4: a great job, and I said, I said, this year
- 52:24Speaker 4: was his best year coaching the defense because of the
- 52:26Speaker 4: injuries and everything that he had to deal with.
- 52:28Speaker 3: So it was just ironic and funny.
- 52:29Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, we're getting a new direction, but
- 52:33Speaker 4: not but not forgetting the past. And I think that
- 52:35Speaker 4: that is one of the best things. That it's kind
- 52:37Speaker 4: of the best of both worlds, to be honest. I
- 52:38Speaker 4: thought that maybel provided them anything, and you know, and
- 52:42Speaker 4: obviously they may. They might have been worried about the
- 52:44Speaker 4: temperament or whatever the case may be, and can he
- 52:46Speaker 4: keep his ship together on the sidelines and stuff like that,
- 52:49Speaker 4: and maybe that was part of it. But Brady's fiery too,
- 52:51Speaker 4: So I don't mind a fiery coach. I don't mind
- 52:53Speaker 4: a coach that that is emotional. I know that everybody
- 52:56Speaker 4: used to get mad that all McDermott does his clap,
- 52:59Speaker 4: and that would drive us fuck crazy because it didn't
- 53:01Speaker 4: matter the situation.
- 53:02Speaker 3: All he's gonna do is just do that stupid clap.
- 53:04Speaker 3: I get it. Brady's definitely more fiery than that.
- 53:06Speaker 4: So I think that it's enough different to give Bill's
- 53:09Speaker 4: Mafia a different flavor, but we're still it's still ice cream.
- 53:12Speaker 4: This is a different flavor, rice creop, We're still eating
- 53:14Speaker 4: ice cream, you know what I mean. So I think
- 53:15Speaker 4: that that will help us in the transition. As these
- 53:17Speaker 4: months go along, well, you know, it's been it's been
- 53:21Speaker 4: fun DT. It I really it's funny because you are
- 53:25Speaker 4: the internal optimist that every year. You know, you may
- 53:28Speaker 4: not say that we're winning the super Bowl every year,
- 53:29Speaker 4: but you got us in the damn game.
- 53:31Speaker 3: You got us in the show. And I respect that
- 53:33Speaker 3: about you.
- 53:34Speaker 4: I love that about you because you don't waiver on
- 53:36Speaker 4: that and I love that that energy about you, and
- 53:38Speaker 4: it's it's really what makes us good because we're the
- 53:41Speaker 4: ying and the yang.
- 53:41Speaker 3: I'm always gonna give it to you straight.
- 53:43Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you how shit could fuck up, how
- 53:45Speaker 4: we could crash this thing, how how Titanic could happen.
- 53:47Speaker 3: You may not see the iceberg, but I see it.
- 53:49Speaker 4: I'm up at the top of the boat and I'm like, man,
- 53:51Speaker 4: you need to look out over here because there's a
- 53:53Speaker 4: big ass iceberg. So I think that we work well
- 53:55Speaker 4: with each other for that, and I just wanted to
- 53:57Speaker 4: just say that I love you, man. Season as we
- 54:00Speaker 4: wrap up, I couldn't pick anybody better to be my
- 54:03Speaker 4: co host. I couldn't think of anybody that I want
- 54:05Speaker 4: to do the show with. And DT said it right.
- 54:07Speaker 4: It was a couple of shows in episode one, please
- 54:09Speaker 4: don't go back in the archive.
- 54:12Speaker 3: Totally horrible back then, but it's funny.
- 54:15Speaker 4: Yeah, about six seven episodes in, I was just like,
- 54:18Speaker 4: you know what, come on, and then I asked them
- 54:20Speaker 4: come on again, and then come on again. I'm like,
- 54:22Speaker 4: what the fuck am I doing? You might as well
- 54:24Speaker 4: just be my co host. If you don't have anything
- 54:25Speaker 4: to do weekly, just come on and be my co host.
- 54:27Speaker 4: So I just wanted to let you know that I
- 54:29Speaker 4: love your man. You are my bills brother from another mother.
- 54:32Speaker 3: Man.
- 54:32Speaker 4: I would not trade you for anything, and I am
- 54:35Speaker 4: really just I'm excited about the following DT. I know

- 58:43Speaker 4: just love the banter.
- 58:44Speaker 3: So shout out to my Twitter crew as well. Man.
- 58:45Speaker 4: And it's funny because I couldn't stand Twitter, didn't know
- 58:48Speaker 4: anything about it in the very beginning five years ago,
- 58:50Speaker 4: wasn't even on social media's at all. And then shout
- 58:53Speaker 4: out to Justice Justice General and shout out to to
- 58:57Speaker 4: the King. I mean, he told me, he listen, you
- 59:02Speaker 4: have got to get on these social medias. That is
- 59:04Speaker 4: the only way that you're going to be successful. And
- 59:07Speaker 4: now Twitter is like my favorite It's like my favorite
- 59:10Speaker 4: pastime is to get over there and argue with these
- 59:12Speaker 4: motherfuckers about the Bills. I absolutely love it. So listen,
- 59:15Speaker 4: that is a rap on season five. Listen out there,
- 59:18Speaker 4: enjoy the off season again. Root for the Seahawks. I
- 59:21Speaker 4: don't think I have to tell you that, but everybody
- 59:23Speaker 4: root for the Seahawks next week.
- 59:24Speaker 3: Fuck the Pats. They suck.
- 59:26Speaker 4: I can't believe that they came up in our rearview
- 59:27Speaker 4: mirror and now they have passed us. It makes my
- 59:31Speaker 4: blood boil, my Bill's blood boil that they have already
- 59:33Speaker 4: passed us in that respect. So let's bring them back
- 59:35Speaker 4: down the earth. They'll get their first place scheduled next
- 59:38Speaker 4: year and they get a chance to actually see what
- 59:40Speaker 4: life is really like with this bullshit fourth place schedule
- 59:43Speaker 4: that they played this year, and we'll just we'll go
- 59:45Speaker 4: into the off season. I do like the Joe Brady
- 59:48Speaker 4: higher after I got a chance to sit in and
- 59:50Speaker 4: kind of just think on it, and I'm excited for
- 59:52Speaker 4: the future DT. I always told everybody stop worrying about fear,
- 59:57Speaker 4: stop operating in fear just because you fire sh All.
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: The McDermott supported me, Well, if you.
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: Fire McDermott, then what happened when you get I'm like,
- 1:00:04Speaker 5: it doesn't have to be bad. We didn't know McDermott
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: was gonna work out, So that's kind of been my
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: tenth hole. That's kind of been something that I stick to,
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: is that we don't know the future. So because we
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: don't know the future, we can't say ahead of time
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: that it's not gonna work out.
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: So maybe this guy works out DT. Maybe he's the
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: next he's the next great thing. Maybe who knows, man,
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: maybe he.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Is well, at the very least he has a nice
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Jordan Jordan one collection, and I like that about him.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: So yeah, we're I'm I'm optimistic.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Here it is. It's the Joe Brady era and maybe
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: the super Bowl era.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm down with it. Man. Listen out there, Nichol
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: City Crew.
