- 2:42Speaker 1: that vitamin D, getting the club swinging, getting ready to
- 2:44Speaker 1: go and join our summer. But the true thing of
- 2:49Speaker 1: what everyone is leading up to and what what we
- 2:52Speaker 1: all do it for, and really I just uh, you know,
- 2:54Speaker 1: do everything, the boating, the golfing, the the chilling in
- 2:57Speaker 1: the summer is just to put my mind in a
- 3:01Speaker 1: different place. So I'm not worrying about football until we go.
- 3:04Speaker 1: But that's over with camps up. I'm ready. We're ready
- 3:07Speaker 1: to rock. Man, it's real. Now, it's real, and the
- 3:10Speaker 1: boys are back and uh and so are we. So
- 3:12Speaker 1: let's let's rock and roll. I'm excited to be here,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and our fans are excited to have us back, ready
- 3:17Speaker 1: to go, and everyone's ticking into that, uh into that
- 3:20Speaker 1: football life now. So let's rock baby.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Yeah, man, let's let's rock. Like I said, click clack,
- 3:26Speaker 2: we back season six. Uh continues listen DT. It's funny
- 3:29Speaker 2: because I, you know, we talk about training camp and
- 3:32Speaker 2: stuff like that, and uh, the Bills get back to
- 3:34Speaker 2: work and obviously in that pursuit of that championship that
- 3:37Speaker 2: has alluded us. But it's funny because this year it's
- 3:40Speaker 2: just different, and it's different for.
- 3:42Speaker 3: A lot of reasons.
- 3:42Speaker 2: We talked about it in the off season at the
- 3:45Speaker 2: start of season six, but just you know, Joe Brady
- 3:47Speaker 2: the new man, you know, the new the new guy
- 3:49Speaker 2: in charge. And it's funny because when you look at
- 3:53Speaker 2: when you look at like different, like small things. You know,
- 3:55Speaker 2: I guess the offensive defense switch colors now this year,
- 3:58Speaker 2: So now the offense is wearing.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Blue, and there's just little things.
- 4:01Speaker 2: And now camp is way earlier in respect to the
- 4:04Speaker 2: time of day, it's at the morning, eight thirty in
- 4:06Speaker 2: the morning.
- 4:06Speaker 3: DT.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Everybody, what did I say last episode before we went
- 4:10Speaker 2: on something break?
- 4:11Speaker 3: You know, be your own man.
- 4:12Speaker 2: It seems like Joe Brady's trying to find ways to
- 4:14Speaker 2: put his imprints on this team. And I know it
- 4:17Speaker 2: make seems silly to some members of the mafia, but
- 4:19Speaker 2: really it is important. And Josh Allen even spoke to
- 4:22Speaker 2: it the other day that said, it's important to make
- 4:23Speaker 2: things different, you know, because he is not Sean McDermott.
- 4:26Speaker 2: So I was wondering what you thought about it, because
- 4:28Speaker 2: I know that I've been critical of Joe Brady in
- 4:31Speaker 2: respects to making sure that he's prepared. I want him
- 4:34Speaker 2: to understand that he's the guy. Didn't want him to
- 4:36Speaker 2: sound like a Brandon Bean parrot. It's his show man,
- 4:39Speaker 2: and boy is the pressure on. But at this point
- 4:43Speaker 2: in time, it looks like he's the guy in charge
- 4:45Speaker 2: and it's a different energy.
- 4:46Speaker 3: It's just about the camp. It's just different. Everything is
- 4:48Speaker 3: just different from McDermott.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's you know, as Nicol City crew here, Rob,
- 4:53Speaker 1: we have to get behind this. And you know, we've
- 4:56Speaker 1: been clamoring for this for years. It started with It
- 5:00Speaker 1: started with Stefan Diggs. Dude, it was the fact of
- 5:04Speaker 1: the Stefan Diggs saying you know, it wasn't being being
- 5:08Speaker 1: a diva, it was him saying, we can't run it back.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Something's got to change. We can't do the same stuff
- 5:13Speaker 1: every time. We got to have a little difference. And
- 5:15Speaker 1: what happens, he's out of town. We move forward and
- 5:17Speaker 1: the same stuff happens in the next three years, every
- 5:21Speaker 1: single playoffs the same inch we didn't get. It's got
- 5:23Speaker 1: to be different. And that's what we've been clamoring about,
- 5:26Speaker 1: Rob for years on this show. We need to see
- 5:28Speaker 1: the difference. It can't just be all good on you know,
- 5:32Speaker 1: status quo as we talked about, is Terry Pagule even
- 5:35Speaker 1: ever gonna fire Sean McDermott or Brandon Bean because of
- 5:37Speaker 1: the status quo? And it is successful, just not successful enough.
- 5:41Speaker 1: So we have to be fans of this change for now, right,
- 5:44Speaker 1: we need to be because this is what we've wanted
- 5:46Speaker 1: and now we're getting it, and they are putting strong
- 5:49Speaker 1: efforts into showing it's a little different. Like you said,
- 5:51Speaker 1: the change in the team colors, the change in the
- 5:54Speaker 1: way training camp is structured, of them starting early. I
- 5:58Speaker 1: love that let's go like it's not you know, lollygagger around.
- 6:01Speaker 1: We're up and we're ready to go. And then and
- 6:03Speaker 1: I like that intensity with that. I like them going
- 6:06Speaker 1: to camp shorter, not going back to camp after the
- 6:10Speaker 1: Bruin Red Scrimmage next week, because I think that's it.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I love the idea of camp. I love them getting
- 6:15Speaker 1: away and coming together as a team and you know,
- 6:17Speaker 1: remember the Titan style, like you know, coming back and
- 6:20Speaker 1: singing on the bus or whatever the case. But the
- 6:25Speaker 1: fact is, these are you know, professional growing athletes, and
- 6:28Speaker 1: you can only push that so far. Right like they are,
- 6:30Speaker 1: They're fine, Like they they're down to do it for
- 6:32Speaker 1: this week. Don't make them come back after the Red
- 6:34Speaker 1: and Blue and get back into that. Like I think
- 6:37Speaker 1: this is a good flow and a good vibe of
- 6:39Speaker 1: them being able to focus on all right, I'm coming here,
- 6:42Speaker 1: We're focused for the week, We're coming together as a team,
- 6:44Speaker 1: and then it's all work after that. So a lot
- 6:46Speaker 1: of new things And as QB One said the other
- 6:49Speaker 1: day when he was critiquing the jerseys, he said, he
- 6:51Speaker 1: didn't say he liked him. He said they're new and
- 6:54Speaker 1: we need new and the new stadium, the new coach,
- 6:57Speaker 1: the new jerseys, and a lot of newness coming around.
- 7:01Speaker 1: And it seems like they're not just doing the same old,
- 7:03Speaker 1: same old. We'll obviously see once the ball drops down
- 7:07Speaker 1: and Week one kicks off, but it looks like they're
- 7:09Speaker 1: trying to change things up with that intention of we
- 7:12Speaker 1: can't just do the same old because it gets us
- 7:14Speaker 1: that heartbreaking playoff loss every single year. So we're behind it,
- 7:19Speaker 1: Nicol City crew. We have to be. We've been clamoring
- 7:21Speaker 1: for it and I stand behind it.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Now. It's new.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Let's rock, Yeah, it is new, and shout out to
- 7:28Speaker 2: my boys. Zach Ransom I see you guys in the comments. Listen,
- 7:30Speaker 2: hit us up in the comments. I am going to
- 7:31Speaker 2: do a much just side note, I'm gonna do a
- 7:33Speaker 2: much better job of engaging with you guys during the show.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I'm working on it. So I see you on IG
- 7:39Speaker 2: Zach and everybody listen, Twitter, wherever you're listening to it
- 7:41Speaker 2: us right now, Facebook, hit me up in the comments.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I'm gonna do my best during the show to make
- 7:46Speaker 2: sure that I get your questions answered and stuff like that.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But DT, you're absolutely right. I mean, it is new,
- 7:52Speaker 2: you know, and like I said, sometimes change is just needed.
- 7:54Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, before we go forward
- 7:57Speaker 2: to training camp, just to kind of put a bowl
- 7:59Speaker 2: on everything from season five, I think that it was well,
- 8:03Speaker 2: obviously I think that it was. It was changed. I
- 8:05Speaker 2: want to change since thirteen seconds. But in a grand
- 8:07Speaker 2: scheme of things, I think that sometimes change can be
- 8:10Speaker 2: a catalyst for something positive in respects to the fact
- 8:14Speaker 2: that listen, you've got same voice, and sometimes it can
- 8:17Speaker 2: get like the Peanuts, you know, like wah, you know,
- 8:19Speaker 2: the Peanuts teacher whan wah wah wah, wah wah whah,
- 8:21Speaker 2: and like it could be a situation where they were
- 8:23Speaker 2: tuning out McDermott. Now, I don't know necessarily because of
- 8:26Speaker 2: the fact that, you know, it seemed like the guys
- 8:27Speaker 2: respected them and stuff like that.
- 8:28Speaker 3: But I think that with the same.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Types of loss losses, excuse me, the same you know,
- 8:35Speaker 2: ending point it was either divisional round or twice in
- 8:37Speaker 2: the AFS Championship game, I felt like it was just
- 8:39Speaker 2: time for something different.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Now.
- 8:41Speaker 2: The one caveat that I will say to that, DT,
- 8:44Speaker 2: and I know that it's something that you are keen on,
- 8:46Speaker 2: is that Josh Allen got his guy he got. You know,
- 8:50Speaker 2: they're not hiring anybody that Josh Allen didn't want. So
- 8:53Speaker 2: when people want to say, well, Joe Brady was a
- 8:55Speaker 2: part of the playoff failure, failures and stuff like that,
- 8:59Speaker 2: I can't really put back on that. And we'll get
- 9:01Speaker 2: into that next week when we start talking about our
- 9:03Speaker 2: offensive preview. But DT, it's sometimes it's hard for me
- 9:06Speaker 2: when I hear people say, like, listen, I have a
- 9:08Speaker 2: tough time pushing back on well, Brady was a part
- 9:11Speaker 2: of some of the failures. He was a part of
- 9:13Speaker 2: some of the stuff that didn't go right. To what extent,
- 9:16Speaker 2: we don't know, we'll talk about that next week in
- 9:18Speaker 2: the Offensive preview.
- 9:19Speaker 3: But DT, this is Josh Allen's guy.
- 9:22Speaker 2: And I literally listened to Bomai Jones the other night
- 9:26Speaker 2: last night and he was talking about him, about Josh
- 9:29Speaker 2: and Lamar Jackson, and he was doing all this Josh
- 9:31Speaker 2: slander and I went on Twitter and called him out
- 9:34Speaker 2: on it. But DT, one thing that he did say
- 9:36Speaker 2: that he was right is that the clock is ticking.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Now.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Josh does have he's got what he wants, He's got
- 9:41Speaker 2: the offensive guy on his side of the ball. And
- 9:43Speaker 2: I don't think there's any escape in that. The clock's
- 9:45Speaker 2: ticking now, there's more pressure. There's more pressure.
- 9:49Speaker 1: The clock is ticking unless Terry Pagoula is gonna, you know,
- 9:52Speaker 1: make up for everything he's ever done and he's like
- 9:56Speaker 1: on some weird billionaire elon mush shit that keeps Josh
- 9:59Speaker 1: Allen alive. But besides that, yes, the clock is ticking
- 10:04Speaker 1: him and you're it's it is tough to defend, but
- 10:07Speaker 1: that's just part of the game. I mean, Sean McDermott
- 10:09Speaker 1: when he came here as the head coach, I'm sure
- 10:11Speaker 1: there was defensive people. You know, people in Carolina saying like, oh,
- 10:15Speaker 1: he sucked, he did this. You know, he was part
- 10:17Speaker 1: of this problem. He was part of this problem. He
- 10:19Speaker 1: came in and built you know, tremendous culture here with us. So, yes, agreed,
- 10:24Speaker 1: But that was always the thing of we were talking about,
- 10:27Speaker 1: is Joe Brady. It wasn't you know, it was the
- 10:29Speaker 1: Sean McDermott show. Joe Brady was just you know, it
- 10:32Speaker 1: was just a fall in line, you know, because of that,
- 10:34Speaker 1: And he was professional enough to know we had to
- 10:36Speaker 1: or he might not have a job and really smart enough,
- 10:39Speaker 1: not professional enough, smart enough to kind of stick in
- 10:41Speaker 1: there this long and have respect in the organization to
- 10:44Speaker 1: get this head coaching job when when all hell broke loose.
- 10:46Speaker 1: So I think that's just part of the game where
- 10:50Speaker 1: it's like, yes, he was part of it, but Sean
- 10:51Speaker 1: McDermott was part of a bad team in Carolina before
- 10:54Speaker 1: he came here. You know, different different moves. The past
- 10:58Speaker 1: is we didn't hear about it obviously because we're not
- 11:00Speaker 1: in that in that media space. We heard about it here.
- 11:02Speaker 1: It's a little different because it's directly correlated from the
- 11:05Speaker 1: team to the head of the team. But I think
- 11:08Speaker 1: that's that's been the you know, the the mindset really,
- 11:12Speaker 1: since we had the concern in the early part of
- 11:15Speaker 1: it where he was sounded like a puppet and sounded
- 11:17Speaker 1: very you know, very yes man mentality, I think maybe
- 11:21Speaker 1: he caught some of that criticism and is now overcompensating,
- 11:25Speaker 1: not overcompensating, but compensating. On the reverse end of that,
- 11:28Speaker 1: like you said, of showing the strong difference is having
- 11:31Speaker 1: those you know, what's the word I'm looking for, having
- 11:34Speaker 1: those physical things happening the practice at a different time,
- 11:38Speaker 1: the jersey swaps, you know, like I'm doing it differently.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm doing it differently. And here's a few things I'm
- 11:44Speaker 1: showing you that are like easy, small things we do differently.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Now on the field, you're going to see some different
- 11:50Speaker 1: things too, So I'm with that. I want to see
- 11:53Speaker 1: the horse run here. I don't think you know, I
- 11:54Speaker 1: think his h there was a lot of potential. So
- 11:57Speaker 1: now we'll see if it's if it's live, and I'm
- 12:00Speaker 1: not gonna get too critical if it is or if
- 12:02Speaker 1: it's not. He was the problem. But I my defense
- 12:05Speaker 1: to that is, you know, it was the Sean McDermott show.
- 12:08Speaker 1: It didn't seem like anything was getting by him if
- 12:10Speaker 1: he didn't want it to, and the players have talked
- 12:13Speaker 1: about it. Either can walk around a little looser in
- 12:14Speaker 1: the building. We the whole hit piece with we've done
- 12:17Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. You know, all that all
- 12:20Speaker 1: that stuff about Sean McDermott being going straight up, you know,
- 12:24Speaker 1: difficult in that regard. So so if Joe Brady, you know,
- 12:28Speaker 1: fell in line played his role, it was a good
- 12:30Speaker 1: team player for being the coach he needed to be
- 12:32Speaker 1: under Sean McDermott doing what he wanted. Now he doesn't
- 12:35Speaker 1: have that, you know, he doesn't have to answer to him.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So uh, if it is the same, you know, then
- 12:39Speaker 1: those people are right. But I don't want to live
- 12:41Speaker 1: in that world, especially now. You know, I'll get a
- 12:44Speaker 1: little negative maybe middle of the season, but a month out,
- 12:47Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna be talking. I'm not gonna be
- 12:49Speaker 1: talking like Joe Brady's an idiot because he he was
- 12:51Speaker 1: the problem, but realistically, I mean statistically on that he wasn't.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Like the offense looked a little sputtery with the screens
- 12:59Speaker 1: and YadA YadA. But we're setting franchise records for touchdowns.
- 13:02Speaker 1: We're averaging over thirty points a game, Like, we're deep
- 13:05Speaker 1: into the playoffs, score even with four turnovers, we go
- 13:07Speaker 1: to overtime, scoring thirty points in the playoffs. So is
- 13:10Speaker 1: the offense the problem, No, it wasn't. It was it
- 13:13Speaker 1: was the defense not making a stop down the stretch.
- 13:15Speaker 1: And I think Bill's Mafia and Nickel City Crew can
- 13:17Speaker 1: unanimously be behind us on that. So I just think
- 13:21Speaker 1: that's I'm gonna disregard all that, Like, yeah, you can't.
- 13:24Speaker 1: It's hard to defend it. But also I don't see
- 13:27Speaker 1: a big ground of that to stand on, being you know,
- 13:30Speaker 1: we haven't seen shit yet, and the McDermott pass shows
- 13:33Speaker 1: it was a little militant.
- 13:35Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's funny that last thing that you said,
- 13:38Speaker 3: because I do.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I argue with people on Twitter about that a lot,
- 13:42Speaker 2: and that was kind of the basis of of what
- 13:44Speaker 2: I was talking about yesterday when I talked about the
- 13:45Speaker 2: Bobonti Jones thing that I went on Twitter, and I
- 13:47Speaker 2: was kind of just taken taken up for Josh because
- 13:50Speaker 2: I've always you know, I've always talked about how bad
- 13:52Speaker 2: the defenses were in the playoffs and they give it
- 13:54Speaker 2: up over thirty points and they're not bad.
- 13:56Speaker 3: They're historically bad in the playoffs under McDermott.
- 13:59Speaker 2: And then you know, people want to say, well, Josh
- 14:01Speaker 2: had the ball the last you know me a couple
- 14:03Speaker 2: of years with a chance to win the game or
- 14:05Speaker 2: tie the game, and he didn't get it done. And
- 14:07Speaker 2: and sometimes DT I get, I get defensive about it
- 14:11Speaker 2: because of the fact that I'm like, well, what do
- 14:13Speaker 2: you want him to do?
- 14:14Speaker 3: Is there any situation.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Where he can get a little bit of help, he
- 14:18Speaker 2: can have a little bit of a little bit of
- 14:19Speaker 2: support where he doesn't have to be perfect, And you know,
- 14:23Speaker 2: shout out to my boy Fernando. You know, Fernando Schmoodh
- 14:25Speaker 2: has been on here before, you know, down in Brazil.
- 14:27Speaker 2: He tells us all the time that, like joh, like,
- 14:30Speaker 2: you shouldn't need Josh to be Superman every single game.
- 14:32Speaker 2: You shouldn't need him to play perfect every single game.
- 14:35Speaker 2: And so to those people, you know, I argue with
- 14:37Speaker 2: guys on Twitter and they're like, Josh had the ball. Well,
- 14:39Speaker 2: how are you going to refute that Josh had the ball?
- 14:41Speaker 2: How are you going to refute that. I'm not trying
- 14:43Speaker 2: to refute the fact that he you know, quote unquote
- 14:45Speaker 2: didn't get it done. I'm just talking about the fact
- 14:47Speaker 2: that on the flip side of that coin, he got
- 14:49Speaker 2: no support from his defenses. And I understand that injuries
- 14:52Speaker 2: are sometimes a reason and not an excuse, but like, man,
- 14:56Speaker 2: it's been a situation where, even back to the game
- 14:58Speaker 2: that we were at for the division run against Kansas
- 15:01Speaker 2: City at home, it's just like, man, like this, he
- 15:04Speaker 2: played well enough to win the game and you couldn't
- 15:07Speaker 2: give him any help.
- 15:08Speaker 3: And I just, I don't know.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I just have a hard time like pointing the finger
- 15:11Speaker 2: at Josh Allen like I do. And I'm not even
- 15:14Speaker 2: trying to be a homewerk when I do it. I'm
- 15:15Speaker 2: just watching the games and I'm like, man, if he
- 15:17Speaker 2: had a competent defense, an average defense in the playoffs,
- 15:21Speaker 2: I think we already have a Lombardy.
- 15:22Speaker 3: I really do. That's me. You're muted it one hundred percent,
- 15:28Speaker 3: one hundred percent.
- 15:29Speaker 1: But you know, I also think, you know, he obviously
- 15:32Speaker 1: is in that in that role, he couldn't get criticism
- 15:35Speaker 1: because he is that guy to get it. But if
- 15:37Speaker 1: you watched any other section, you know, I could watch
- 15:41Speaker 1: POLPA highlight, a random highlight tape right now and probably
- 15:44Speaker 1: start crying for the you know, for the greatness that
- 15:47Speaker 1: we've seen over the last eight years. And as a fan,
- 15:51Speaker 1: that makes up if there was a mistake in the
- 15:53Speaker 1: playoffs here or there, that makes up for you know,
- 15:57Speaker 1: for it he he deserved. He gets some hall passes
- 16:00Speaker 1: when it comes to that. But the Yeah, I just
- 16:04Speaker 1: think the vibe is what we were worried that it
- 16:07Speaker 1: wasn't going to be, and it seems like so far
- 16:09Speaker 1: it is.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I get, I mean, okay, no problem. Listen, Bill's

- 17:30Speaker 2: I might have lost you, hopefully I didn't, but listen
- 17:33Speaker 2: for the audience. The Buffalo Bills are back in training
- 17:35Speaker 2: camp at Saint John Fisher. DT alluded to it a
- 17:38Speaker 2: little bit earlier that you know it is. It's a
- 17:40Speaker 2: short camp. It's like seven weeks or something like, excuse me,
- 17:43Speaker 2: not seven weeks, seven days, seven practices. So and also
- 17:46Speaker 2: another thing is that they're going two on one off,
- 17:49Speaker 2: two on one off, which is another departure from Sean
- 17:52Speaker 2: Mcdermoty mcdurm would at least go three days before he
- 17:54Speaker 2: gave him a break. So Bills were off today, yet
- 17:57Speaker 2: you know, two days ago start a camp DT. You
- 18:01Speaker 2: and I talked about a pre show. It was just,
- 18:04Speaker 2: you know, everybody's just happy to be back. Hey, we
- 18:06Speaker 2: missed you, and I know it was raining out there,
- 18:08Speaker 2: and the crowds were a little bit less, but everybody
- 18:10Speaker 2: was back, and everybody was happy to see our Buffalo
- 18:12Speaker 2: Bills back in action. And you know, brand not Brandon Bean,
- 18:15Speaker 2: but Joe Brady had said that he was happy that
- 18:18Speaker 2: it was raining because he wanted to see how, you know,
- 18:20Speaker 2: the guys adjusted to the conditions. And I guess the
- 18:22Speaker 2: first play of seven on seven, Keyan Coleman drops the ball.
- 18:25Speaker 3: I see on Twitter everybody's ready to jump jump on him.
- 18:28Speaker 3: And then I.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Guess apparently right after that, Josh Allen goes right back
- 18:31Speaker 2: to zero and he catches the ball and it was like,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I guess.
- 18:34Speaker 3: A harder route ad, a harder throw and catch.
- 18:36Speaker 2: And you know it's funny because anything that Kiak Covid
- 18:40Speaker 2: does DT is going to be polarizing because of the
- 18:43Speaker 2: the actual personality of the is and the career trajectory
- 18:46Speaker 2: that he's been on these first two years.
- 18:48Speaker 3: DT.
- 18:49Speaker 2: I am, I'm not I'm not holding my breath for anything.
- 18:52Speaker 2: But I'm also going to give this young man room
- 18:54Speaker 2: to find his way, you know what I mean.
- 18:56Speaker 3: And I understand that.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I know Brandon Bean yesterday said that he feels like
- 18:59Speaker 2: the light alas turned on for Kean and stuff like that,
- 19:02Speaker 2: So you know they're not expecting him to be.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Late to team meetings and ship like that anymore.
- 19:07Speaker 2: On field production is totally different, and we'll see I'm
- 19:10Speaker 2: gonna get I'm gonna give them room to breathe because
- 19:12Speaker 2: I know that he's caught a lot of ship this offseason,
- 19:14Speaker 2: starting with the owner for something.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, shit gets real real quick, rob right, Yeah,
- 19:20Speaker 1: this is and this is the NFL. Dude, you can't
- 19:22Speaker 1: you can't forget me. There is no gimmick. There's no
- 19:26Speaker 1: gimmick to this league. And you know we'll get into
- 19:28Speaker 1: that later with the uniforms and whatnot. But the the
- 19:32Speaker 1: point of this is, you know, they the team is
- 19:36Speaker 1: behind it too. They're not signing Brandon Cooks. They're not
- 19:38Speaker 1: signing Stefan Diggs. They they did the Pettis guy yesterday
- 19:41Speaker 1: for I think death and special teams. If shavers is
- 19:44Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a whole situation obviously on the Puff.
- 19:48Speaker 1: But they're not signing that extra guy, so they're depending
- 19:51Speaker 1: on that. He's going to roll out on this squat,
- 19:53Speaker 1: you know. So that's that's where I'm standing behind that
- 19:56Speaker 1: the team's with it. He seems to be re energized
- 19:59Speaker 1: or whatever. Like at the end of the day, all
- 20:01Speaker 1: that shit doesn't mean anything to me, Like it's what
- 20:03Speaker 1: you're doing on leek one this week, Like I don't
- 20:05Speaker 1: care about if the owner said anything, like you missed
- 20:08Speaker 1: a meeting. You were productive at the beginning of the
- 20:11Speaker 1: year last year, then you missed whatever it was, and
- 20:13Speaker 1: then you even when you came back, you sucked. So
- 20:16Speaker 1: you you have little taste of being good. Even in
- 20:19Speaker 1: his rookie year when he before he got hurt, he
- 20:21Speaker 1: was kind of on a on a nice little climb.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Then he got hurt and he never just never got
- 20:25Speaker 1: back to that. So I there there's been little sparks
- 20:30Speaker 1: in his game, and after all that, it doesn't matter
- 20:34Speaker 1: because the team's still behind him and that's who he's
- 20:35Speaker 1: going with every day. He's like, yeah, they might have
- 20:37Speaker 1: said that, it might have been shitty, it felt weird,
- 20:40Speaker 1: But as the offseason goes on, he's getting reps, he's
- 20:43Speaker 1: out there, they're not signing anybody else there behind him.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I think his trust is back in that he has
- 20:48Speaker 1: to hold onto those glimpses he had of his greatness
- 20:52Speaker 1: and and roll into it because we're gonna need him
- 20:54Speaker 1: if there, if we're not signing anybody else, we're gonna
- 20:56Speaker 1: need him.
- 20:57Speaker 3: No, we are, we are.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I know they signed who was the guy today that
- 21:02Speaker 2: they signed They released Virgil and then they signed Pedestal.
- 21:05Speaker 2: You know, but you know, he's he's a camp he's
- 21:07Speaker 2: a camp body, he's a depth guy. So you know,
- 21:09Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see, you know DT. It's funny
- 21:12Speaker 2: because when I look at you know, you know, day
- 21:15Speaker 2: two of camp. One of the number one things that
- 21:17Speaker 2: came out of day two a camp was like, listen, man,
- 21:19Speaker 2: this is Josh Allen to number two. It's it's kind
- 21:22Speaker 2: of starting to heat up and the connection is looking good. Obviously,
- 21:25Speaker 2: I love to hear that. And then I was listening
- 21:27Speaker 2: to the gr earlier today and they were like, man,
- 21:29Speaker 2: he reminds us a lot of stuff on diggs, and
- 21:31Speaker 2: he reminds me he's a bigger stuff on digs in
- 21:33Speaker 2: respects to like, you know, he's he's more sturdy, but
- 21:35Speaker 2: like he's a smooth route runner.
- 21:37Speaker 3: He's creating separation, different things like that.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I love hearing stuff like that DT because of the
- 21:41Speaker 2: fact that I, you know, I've been craving for Josh
- 21:44Speaker 2: to have somebody that he could rely on on third downs,
- 21:47Speaker 2: money situations, fourth downs, whatever the case may, fourth quarter,
- 21:50Speaker 2: I've been dying for Josh to have some help. Obviously,
- 21:52Speaker 2: I was a strong I had a strong disdain for
- 21:55Speaker 2: everybody eats. I think that that's what you say when
- 21:57Speaker 2: you have a shitty wide receiver corps or receiver, you
- 22:00Speaker 2: say everybody eats is to kind of mask that.
- 22:03Speaker 3: DT. I'm excited that they're they're building chemistry.
- 22:06Speaker 2: I mean, DJ talked about how he's just you know,
- 22:08Speaker 2: constant communication with seventeen constant communication, just making sure that
- 22:11Speaker 2: they're on the same page and working shit out.
- 22:14Speaker 3: I have no problems with it. I understand that it's camp.
- 22:16Speaker 2: I understand that everybody's on a you know, a high
- 22:19Speaker 2: trajectory and everybody's kind of, you know, kumbaya. Everything's great.
- 22:23Speaker 2: But I think that it is real. I obviously haven't
- 22:25Speaker 2: been out there, but I think that it is real.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Some of the stories talking about DJ Moore and Josh
- 22:28Speaker 2: Allen looks like they're they're building that chemistry and they're
- 22:31Speaker 2: gonna they're going to need it this year.
- 22:33Speaker 1: They're going to again another thing rob of We wanted
- 22:36Speaker 1: to see difference and change out of the gate. We
- 22:39Speaker 1: talked about some of the things the team is doing
- 22:41Speaker 1: to show that already with Alan and Brady and now
- 22:44Speaker 1: the change of having that go to Guy again and
- 22:48Speaker 1: it's on air, it's seven and sevens, there's no pads.
- 22:51Speaker 1: We all get that, like we're not breaking down these plays,
- 22:54Speaker 1: you know, saying he's a superstar because of it, but
- 22:58Speaker 1: the intangibles are kind of there all right, right, they're
- 23:00Speaker 1: doing something we wanted to see. We wanted to see
- 23:03Speaker 1: going back to a number one Guy and a few
- 23:06Speaker 1: of the plays that were if you do want to
- 23:08Speaker 1: break down the plays, it's not like he's just running
- 23:10Speaker 1: you know, slants and running things out Like he put
- 23:13Speaker 1: a nice route on Benford, they said, and went right
- 23:16Speaker 1: up the sideline, Josh sixty yard bomb to him, Like
- 23:19Speaker 1: that's sick. If we see that anytime this year, you
- 23:23Speaker 1: know how like poud Notts are gonna be like that
- 23:26Speaker 1: makes Dj Moore worth it right there, that one play.
- 23:29Speaker 1: And then the other time Josh pumped one into I
- 23:31Speaker 1: saw this one. Actually, they was all over You probably
- 23:33Speaker 1: did too, It was all over the bill on Twitter
- 23:36Speaker 1: and everything. Yeah, and no, well that one was sick too.
- 23:38Speaker 1: But the one he just pumps into him, it's kind
- 23:41Speaker 1: of threads the needle and he just in the perfect
- 23:43Speaker 1: spot of the defense. He just pops his foot and
- 23:45Speaker 1: shoots up the seam after the catch and nobody touched
- 23:48Speaker 1: on it. Like yeah, So those are two plays of
- 23:51Speaker 1: him just good route running and Josh finding him like
- 23:55Speaker 1: Josh will find you. Josh will find you. And that's
- 23:58Speaker 1: why Stefan Diggs was so good because he was open
- 24:00Speaker 1: and he put it and Stephan Diggs never dropped it.
- 24:03Speaker 1: And Dj Moore seems reliable. He don't miss games and
- 24:06Speaker 1: and he doesn't have a drop problem either. So seventeen
- 24:08Speaker 1: finds you you might be a superstar again.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm down with it, you know what I mean?
- 24:13Speaker 2: Like like I said, I love it, and I love
- 24:15Speaker 2: the fact that they're building that chemistry again. I think
- 24:18Speaker 2: it's going to be very important to see what's going
- 24:20Speaker 2: on in respects to you know, money situations. Like I said,
- 24:24Speaker 2: is really where Stephan Diggs, that's where he shined, like Josh.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Always had him.
- 24:29Speaker 2: And people that always want to say he force feeds
- 24:31Speaker 2: it to him, Like, no, you can't. You can't force
- 24:33Speaker 2: feed the ball to somebody who's always fucking open. If
- 24:36Speaker 2: he's always open, then making I'm making the right football
- 24:41Speaker 2: play by getting it to my dog who's always open.
- 24:44Speaker 3: So you know what I mean, I don't. I don't.
- 24:46Speaker 3: I don't buy that narrative. So I think that they
- 24:47Speaker 3: should feed him.
- 24:49Speaker 2: I think that the fans that are mad about the
- 24:51Speaker 2: compensation and respects to the draft compensation, and then we
- 24:54Speaker 2: paid him afterwards and we got to have some hefty
- 24:56Speaker 2: cap cap hits coming up for the next three years. Listen,
- 25:01Speaker 2: how what's the alternative? If the alternative that's what it costs,
- 25:04Speaker 2: you know, the price is the price, you know, what
- 25:06Speaker 2: I mean, Like, so, if that was the price that
- 25:08Speaker 2: Brandon Bean had to pay, what's the alternative? The alternative
- 25:11Speaker 2: is year three of Everybody Eats. I definitely don't want
- 25:13Speaker 2: to see that now.
- 25:14Speaker 1: As and old Nicholson though, and what we say all
- 25:19Speaker 1: the every all the time, the game of inches robed
- 25:22Speaker 1: and we need that. We're sure that is. And you
- 25:25Speaker 1: said money situations, Stefan dig money situations. Let's go DJ
- 25:29Speaker 1: Moore money. We're gonna need him down the stretch to
- 25:32Speaker 1: be fucking great.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Yeah, my boy, Zach wants to know if you're drinking
- 25:39Speaker 2: a nice camera day.
- 25:40Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I know he's got something right there.
- 25:43Speaker 1: You know. I love it.
- 25:45Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. I love it. Listen,
- 25:47Speaker 3: uh and answer your question.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Uh.
- 25:49Speaker 2: You know, I do think that Brandon Cooks comes back, Zach.
- 25:52Speaker 2: So I do think he comes back. If we need
- 25:54Speaker 2: we don't need him, they're not going to. That's why
- 25:56Speaker 2: you hire some guy off the street petis because like
- 25:59Speaker 2: I said, he's just a it's just a camp body
- 26:00Speaker 2: to get. Yeah, as we transition DT, I've been hearing
- 26:04Speaker 2: a lot of smoke about this boy KO.
- 26:07Speaker 3: I'm gonna call him k e O I don't know if.
- 26:10Speaker 2: You know Caleb el Arms or I'm gonna call him
- 26:13Speaker 2: k e O. It's easier for me that way. I'm
- 26:15Speaker 2: not messing up to the el Arms and stuff like that. Listen,
- 26:18Speaker 2: Caleb Elarms or CEO, they listen. Opportunity. Sometimes opportunity is
- 26:25Speaker 2: just based on the fact that I needed something, I
- 26:27Speaker 2: needed a break, I needed something to go my way.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Of course you never asked for entries. Of course we
- 26:32Speaker 2: want everybody to be healthy. Twelve Bernard and Dorian Williams
- 26:36Speaker 2: have not been available DT. It seems it again we're
- 26:39Speaker 2: taking everything with camp grain of salt, so I don't
- 26:42Speaker 2: want to have to say that fifty times tonight or
- 26:44Speaker 2: throughout the off season.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Nicol City crew, listen, it's a camp grain of salt.
- 26:48Speaker 2: But listen, the boys been out there making plays and
- 26:51Speaker 2: every every single person has mentioned him. Brandon Bean has
- 26:54Speaker 2: mentioned him. Jim Leonard yesterday when he did his press conference,
- 26:57Speaker 2: mentioned k e O. Joe Brady's mentioned k e O.
- 27:00Speaker 2: The players are mentioned in k e O. Everybody's talking
- 27:03Speaker 2: about the fact that this young cat is coming in
- 27:05Speaker 2: making plays. He was a missile at TCU, one of
- 27:08Speaker 2: the fastest linebackers coming out of the draft.
- 27:12Speaker 3: I don't listen camp grain of salt. Last time I
- 27:14Speaker 3: didn't say.
- 27:15Speaker 2: It, DT I if you're what would have been drumed
- 27:18Speaker 2: always saying you're number one of your number one ability
- 27:21Speaker 2: is availability.
- 27:23Speaker 3: I'm sure Terrell will get back. I'm sure Dorian will
- 27:25Speaker 3: get back.
- 27:26Speaker 2: In the meantime, every day that this kid keeps playing,
- 27:28Speaker 2: all he's doing is making Jim Lennon like I might
- 27:31Speaker 2: have to keep this motherfucker on the field.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Like, hey, I'm just saying.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I don't know. I got two things with him. His
- 27:38Speaker 1: name's been a ton a ton all. Everybody's saying it. Everybody,
- 27:43Speaker 1: he's Lawrence Taylor. No, no, no, not that like that
- 27:49Speaker 1: we're talking to You're talking about this dude more than
- 27:51Speaker 1: seventeen in some cases.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Okay, okay, are you saying that it's like that's a
- 27:57Speaker 2: joke obviously not Laurenko talking about him hot.
- 28:00Speaker 1: We're talking about him hot, and I gotta find it.
- 28:03Speaker 1: I'll put it in up on Nicol City Crew this week.
- 28:05Speaker 1: The follow it's a great follow on Insta and it's

- 28:55Speaker 1: when you learn from the deep end. Go in there.
- 28:57Speaker 1: You have to now because you have to because they're out.
- 29:00Speaker 1: You learn, you get tough by doing that, and then
- 29:02Speaker 1: they come back and that provides depth. Now now we
- 29:04Speaker 1: have depth at that position, which we'd never had. So
- 29:08Speaker 1: that's best case scenario. I look at it. He trial
- 29:10Speaker 1: by fire, he does alright, he hangs in there, he's
- 29:12Speaker 1: still gonna get humbled, Like you don't not get humbled
- 29:15Speaker 1: in this league. Everybody does. It's from top to bottom.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Seventeen still does every you know. So it's a but
- 29:24Speaker 1: like the name, it's almost I'll be it's I wish
- 29:27Speaker 1: him the best, but it's annoying. It's annoying hearing about
- 29:30Speaker 1: him knowing he's a rookie, like knowing it's like kind
- 29:31Speaker 1: of desperate, like we paid Trel Bernard, you know, like
- 29:34Speaker 1: to be the cat. He was a captain, he's a
- 29:36Speaker 1: and like he's not on the field ever. And then
- 29:39Speaker 1: now like what were we really gonna do. We're not
- 29:41Speaker 1: gonna do Matt Milano, so Dorian Williams. So this kid
- 29:43Speaker 1: was their pick. Like they're investing in this kid. I
- 29:46Speaker 1: get that. And they have to invest in him because
- 29:48Speaker 1: they know he's got to play starting minutes. So I
- 29:51Speaker 1: get it. I understand it. I get the hype. But
- 29:54Speaker 1: he's you know, he's gonna get rookie fighted, and I
- 29:56Speaker 1: just want everyone to be calm with this. Like he
- 29:59Speaker 1: goes out there and gets burned a few times, Like
- 30:01Speaker 1: we stick stick now, like we get the expectations were high,
- 30:05Speaker 1: but but don't know, don't turn all the way because
- 30:08Speaker 1: he's had a few bad games and he was supposed
- 30:10Speaker 1: to be Lawrence Taylor.
- 30:12Speaker 3: No, I don't think. I don't think he's gonna be Taylor.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Trial by fire thing, lets me go. But you two
- 30:23Speaker 1: ways two ways to learn, right, You go, you go deep,
- 30:25Speaker 1: you go into the deep end and trial by fire
- 30:28Speaker 1: or you you learn from somebody. That's two ways to
- 30:31Speaker 1: get in and get good, right, And he's doing the
- 30:34Speaker 1: this way, so we'll see.
- 30:36Speaker 3: All right. I like it, and I like it a lot.
- 30:39Speaker 3: I do.
- 30:39Speaker 2: I do another another joke on the defense for sure
- 30:43Speaker 2: is my boy c J g J.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And it's funny because he's sick. I love listen, thank you.
- 30:52Speaker 2: I love the fact that you like that because here's
- 30:54Speaker 2: my here's my thing on him is that he is
- 30:58Speaker 2: the opposite of somebody that that McDermot would have brought
- 31:01Speaker 2: in before. Okay, obviously he's got the personality, yeah talker,
- 31:06Speaker 2: he's a shit talker, and I just I think that
- 31:10Speaker 2: we needed more dogs like that. I didn't think we
- 31:12Speaker 2: needed less dogs. We needed more pit bulls throughout this
- 31:15Speaker 2: Josh Allen ascension. I think that everything that he brings
- 31:18Speaker 2: to the team is exactly what we need in respects
- 31:21Speaker 2: to the swagger, the bravado. Everything about him screams confidence.
- 31:27Speaker 2: And I think that when you are confident in anything
- 31:29Speaker 2: that you do in life, whether it be your job, relationships, anything,
- 31:33Speaker 2: if you're confident about yourself, you're confident in your abilities
- 31:36Speaker 2: of what you're supposed to be doing, I think that
- 31:38Speaker 2: you perform better.
- 31:38Speaker 3: And I think that that he is just a positive joke,
- 31:43Speaker 3: you know.
- 31:43Speaker 2: I just I love everything about what he's bringing to
- 31:46Speaker 2: the team, and I'm really excited. I saw video today
- 31:49Speaker 2: that yesterday he had, you know, yanked the play calling thing,
- 31:52Speaker 2: and then McAfee's talking about on his show and talking
- 31:54Speaker 2: about how he loves you know, CJGJ. I love the
- 31:57Speaker 2: fact that he's just got energy and and for all
- 31:59Speaker 2: the people that wanted to get their penties and and
- 32:02Speaker 2: and you know, boxes and a bunch.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Because he was streaming like that, who gives the fuck man? Like,
- 32:07Speaker 3: listen the.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Coach told him to stop, He said, no problem, and
- 32:10Speaker 2: like the actual interaction couldn't have been more professional both ways.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Joe didn't demean him or something like that and tell
- 32:17Speaker 2: him what the fuck are you doing? He said, Yo, man,
- 32:18Speaker 2: just be mindful. We're not gonna do that shit in
- 32:20Speaker 2: the locker room or in team meetings and shit like that.
- 32:23Speaker 2: He was like cool and got off and it was
- 32:25Speaker 2: done with it. Like I just I like everything about him.
- 32:28Speaker 2: He's a total departure of a McDermot guy. And I
- 32:31Speaker 2: think that it's positive. I think that it's something that
- 32:33Speaker 2: will help this team because you need to have that
- 32:35Speaker 2: swag and you need to have that confidence and never
- 32:38Speaker 2: bottle them. I'm gonna get this fucking shit done. And
- 32:40Speaker 2: he just he exudes all of it, oozes out of them.
- 32:42Speaker 1: I love it, and he's good and he's good, like
- 32:46Speaker 1: the interceptions at one year he had that same amount
- 32:51Speaker 1: of interceptions another year at six, Like oh yeah, du
- 32:55Speaker 1: Duke plays so like yes, character whatever, but like whatever,
- 32:58Speaker 1: it's go out there and play ball, and we need
- 33:01Speaker 1: I don't care, like we they all make millions of dollars.
- 33:04Speaker 1: They're ready to go on Sunday and and I want
- 33:06Speaker 1: that sauce. I want that swag and we're missing it.
- 33:09Speaker 1: That Golden Retriever we talked about pisses me off. We
- 33:11Speaker 1: don't want to know Golden Retriever.
- 33:12Speaker 2: We want Yeah.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen, he said Josh Allen's his sickest when
- 33:21Speaker 1: he's like a little beat up and like's gotta do
- 33:24Speaker 1: some ship and like gets a little own, like get
- 33:26Speaker 1: off me, like I am him? Like and then so
- 33:28Speaker 1: when he gets on that side of the ball, and
- 33:30Speaker 1: now we got that starting from the back, the defensive
- 33:32Speaker 1: line is already you know, battling enough, and then now
- 33:35Speaker 1: the middle of the like it could combust into big dogness,
- 33:39Speaker 1: big dogness. He could be. You know, he's one guy,
- 33:43Speaker 1: one guy. I love it. I love everything about Do
- 33:46Speaker 1: you see his video yesterday? Yeah, explosion just dogs everywhere Roman.
- 33:52Speaker 3: I like it. Yeah, I think like it.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Do you see his video the other uh, the other
- 33:58Speaker 1: night he was like, I'm saying Buffalo four years.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Three years. Yeah, he said, winn the championships. Yeah. I
- 34:05Speaker 3: love that.
- 34:05Speaker 1: He's like, y'all, yeah, y'all want to say I'm a
- 34:08Speaker 1: bad person. Whatever, I got Bill's mafia. Now he's like,
- 34:11Speaker 1: off here.
- 34:13Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Shout out, Matt, I do I
- 34:16Speaker 2: love the big dog? I said, you absolutely right? And
- 34:18Speaker 2: then what did he do?
- 34:19Speaker 3: You know?
- 34:19Speaker 2: For all those fucking haters out there, and I'm not
- 34:21Speaker 2: going to name names, tonight because we're just coming back
- 34:23Speaker 2: from summer break.
- 34:24Speaker 3: But for all the haters out there, and oh, this
- 34:26Speaker 3: is the.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Type of guy you don't want to bring to to
- 34:28Speaker 2: meet the kids at the on the school business, Like
- 34:30Speaker 2: fuck you look, he what did he do?
- 34:32Speaker 3: Paid off that one girl? I'm not even don't even
- 34:34Speaker 3: get me started. DT.
- 34:35Speaker 2: He paid off the one girl's tuition, gave her twenty grand,
- 34:38Speaker 2: and like he just got the Buffalo, he just got here.
- 34:40Speaker 2: So like, listen, man, I think everything that he brings
- 34:44Speaker 2: is exactly what we need. Like I said before, I
- 34:46Speaker 2: think the energy is well deserved, it is well needed,
- 34:50Speaker 2: and I think it could be a shot in the
- 34:51Speaker 2: arm for the team. Now before we get to the
- 34:53Speaker 2: Nicholson and Crew tail gate report DT. So they're back
- 34:56Speaker 2: up practice tomorrow, right tomorrow, something like that. Then they're
- 35:01Speaker 2: off again. Listen, you already spoke to it. When they leave,
- 35:06Speaker 2: they're gone. They're not coming. They're not doing the back
- 35:07Speaker 2: and forth between Buffalo Rochester again. They're not going to
- 35:10Speaker 2: do that. So when they come back for the Blue
- 35:11Speaker 2: and Red in Buffalo, they'll be there for the duration
- 35:15Speaker 2: and the remainder of Camp DT. I'm excited because of
- 35:18Speaker 2: the fact that I want to see what it's like
- 35:21Speaker 2: when the pads go on. They always talk about a
- 35:24Speaker 2: cod just talk about it all the time. I mean
- 35:27Speaker 2: players talk about it all the time. It's tough to
- 35:29Speaker 2: even Jim Letter yesterday was like, it's kind of tough
- 35:31Speaker 2: to evaluate my defensive line until we get some pads on.
- 35:34Speaker 3: Same thing with offensive line.
- 35:35Speaker 2: It's tough to really evaluate how the run schemes and
- 35:37Speaker 2: the run fits are working until you put some pads on.
- 35:40Speaker 3: I'm ready for first padded practice.
- 35:42Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's tomorrow, Monday, Monday.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Is it going to be Monday? Okay, well listen, I'm
- 35:47Speaker 3: ready for pads to come on.
- 35:48Speaker 2: When those listen, click clack, we are officially back then DT.
- 35:52Speaker 3: I'm ready for the pads to go on.
- 35:53Speaker 2: I'm sure there's gonna be some skirmishes and stuff like
- 35:55Speaker 2: that that go on in that summer heat. I'm ready
- 35:58Speaker 2: for the pads to go on, DT because I am very,
- 36:01Speaker 2: very intrigued to know what some of the tent poles
- 36:04Speaker 2: are of Jim Leonard's defense. Yes, he was the defensive
- 36:07Speaker 2: coordinator Wisconsin and call plays. He was not the defensive
- 36:10Speaker 2: coordinator in respects to calling plays last year with the
- 36:13Speaker 2: Broncos because Vance Joseph was doing on that. I'm eager
- 36:17Speaker 2: to see this defense DT, Ben, but Don't Break. We
- 36:20Speaker 2: can put that to bed, Bills, Mafia, Nicol City Crew,
- 36:22Speaker 2: we can put that to bed.
- 36:23Speaker 3: That is over.
- 36:24Speaker 2: This man is running a multiple look of a three
- 36:29Speaker 2: to four defense and he is switching in. Listen, it
- 36:33Speaker 2: just seems like it's going to be five down linemen.
- 36:35Speaker 3: They're not.
- 36:35Speaker 2: He's trying to create confusion. Excuse me. He's trying to
- 36:38Speaker 2: make sure that nobody knows where they're coming from. And
- 36:40Speaker 2: I think that it could work. Listen, There'll probably be
- 36:43Speaker 2: some bigger plays that are given up.
- 36:45Speaker 3: DT.
- 36:46Speaker 2: It's a more risky defense than what we're used to
- 36:48Speaker 2: with Sean McDermott. I don't necessarily think that that's always
- 36:51Speaker 2: a bad thing. Yes, Ben, but Don't Break. Was it
- 36:55Speaker 2: was efficient, But everybody.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Knew what was coming. Everybody knew what was what we
- 37:00Speaker 3: were gonna do.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Like we were either you know, we were always in
- 37:02Speaker 2: nickel like ninety five percent of the time. There wasn't
- 37:05Speaker 2: much variation and kind of Sean mcderbery just hit you
- 37:08Speaker 2: like Novakay. He just did what he did and he
- 37:10Speaker 2: was good at it. But Benba don't break between the
- 37:12Speaker 2: twenties has its merits. But listen, man, I'm ready to
- 37:15Speaker 2: get after the quarterback.
- 37:16Speaker 3: DT. How many fucking defensive ends are we gonna draft?
- 37:19Speaker 2: How many times are we going to invest into the
- 37:20Speaker 2: defensive line to finally actually affect the quarterback when it
- 37:24Speaker 2: matters most?
- 37:24Speaker 3: And we haven't.
- 37:25Speaker 2: You know, obviously, when von Miller came in, it was
- 37:27Speaker 2: working until he got hurt. After that, DT, it's just
- 37:29Speaker 2: been like a dog chasing his tail. We have not
- 37:32Speaker 2: been able to get that actual pass rush and affecting
- 37:35Speaker 2: the quarterback in ways that matter in the big games.
- 37:38Speaker 3: DT. I'm optimistic. I'm waiting for these pass to come on.
- 37:41Speaker 3: I want to see what Jim Leonards did look like.
- 37:43Speaker 2: I'm down, man, I am down with more aggressive, I
- 37:46Speaker 2: really am.
- 37:47Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into history a little bit back in
- 37:50Speaker 1: the day, let's let's call it. I don't even know
- 37:54Speaker 1: sixth grade from DT. Sixth grade DT, the manager, manager
- 38:00Speaker 1: water boy, you know of the varsity basketball team, varsity
- 38:03Speaker 1: basketball coach. The name of Mark Powers was his name.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Great coach, great guy to this day. Good dude, he
- 38:11Speaker 1: was a great coach. I was sixth grade, you know,
- 38:14Speaker 1: looked up to him. Obviously was hard, but fair, had
- 38:17Speaker 1: great talent. Was one a ton of games. Unfortunately retired
- 38:21Speaker 1: before I got to high school.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Never got him.
- 38:23Speaker 1: But the point was every Saturday he'd come in and
- 38:27Speaker 1: he'd bring in college kids from around the area, like big,
- 38:30Speaker 1: hard dudes, and he put the starters out and he
- 38:34Speaker 1: would just spike the basketball in the middle of the
- 38:37Speaker 1: court and it was just go, no files, no out
- 38:41Speaker 1: of bounds. Came to this, losers run and he's these
- 38:46Speaker 1: boys would come in and beat them up and then
- 38:47Speaker 1: like these it just so you talked about the pads
- 38:51Speaker 1: coming on, and Joe Brady has said this multiple times.
- 38:55Speaker 1: He said, we roll, we put the ball out and play.
- 38:57Speaker 1: We rolled the ball out and play. Jim Leonard with
- 38:59Speaker 1: this at tax style exotic. We like the exotics, don't
- 39:03Speaker 1: we We like the exotics.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, That's what we were talking about.
- 39:12Speaker 1: But the exotic looks, the strong, the new swagger on defense,
- 39:17Speaker 1: the flying around pads come on this defensive line. I agree.
- 39:21Speaker 1: How many more seasons do we need, you know, Mario
- 39:24Speaker 1: Williams to come out of the grave and come and
- 39:26Speaker 1: be a you know, and be a pass rusher for us, Like,
- 39:29Speaker 1: let's get something going.
- 39:31Speaker 3: There is one.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Hundred dudes on the defensive line right now. I don't
- 39:35Speaker 1: know I'd forget one if I name them all because
- 39:37Speaker 1: there's so many. So I love that. Roll the ball out,
- 39:40Speaker 1: throw the pads on. It's competition, baby, who's playing on Sunday?
- 39:45Speaker 1: Who's playing? If you don't come strong when the pads
- 39:49Speaker 1: come on, you ain't getting on the field. And the
- 39:51Speaker 1: only ones that do come on better be getting to
- 39:53Speaker 1: the quarterback. So that's what I'm hoping for from this
- 39:55Speaker 1: defensive front when those pads come on. When you said that,
- 39:58Speaker 1: that got me thinking, Mark Power, legendary coach. Bounce the
- 40:02Speaker 1: ball in the middle, go play.
- 40:05Speaker 3: I like it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Go earn your Sunday, Go earn your jersey, Go earn
- 40:09Speaker 1: being a playmaker on a Super Bowl team.
- 40:12Speaker 3: I like it. I ain't mad at you. I like it.
- 40:16Speaker 2: If you want to run through a wall at you,
- 40:19Speaker 2: I mean Joe Brady. Joe Brady said it in the
- 40:22Speaker 2: beginning game. He said, I'm not trying to be disrespectful anybody.
- 40:24Speaker 2: He said, go take his job. He said, I don't
- 40:27Speaker 2: do that in the district. He said I'm not saying
- 40:28Speaker 2: it in a disrespectful way. I'm being real. You want
- 40:31Speaker 2: more playing time, go take his job. And I had
- 40:34Speaker 2: it like I was like, I'm down with that, Like
- 40:36Speaker 2: football is the ultimate meritocracy. It is the ultimate like
- 40:40Speaker 2: pro sports is supposed to be that, Like that is
- 40:43Speaker 2: exactly what pro sports is supposed to be. Let the
- 40:46Speaker 2: best man win, just like back in the day with
- 40:47Speaker 2: the Gladiators, Like it's a it's a new version of that,
- 40:50Speaker 2: it's an updated version, but it's the same principles.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Man, you want something, go get it.
- 40:54Speaker 2: You don't have to, you know, bitch moan complain, wonder
- 40:58Speaker 2: whish hope, go get that ship. And I liked it
- 41:01Speaker 2: the fact that the coach is talking like that and
- 41:03Speaker 2: it's gonna give his players an opportunity. And that's why
- 41:05Speaker 2: I was talking about Kyo earlier, Like I assume that
- 41:08Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Bernard will be back when
- 41:09Speaker 2: he's healthy. I assume that Dorian Williams will be back.
- 41:11Speaker 2: But maybe this boy is making some waves and you
- 41:14Speaker 2: got to keep one of them on the bench because
- 41:16Speaker 2: he's just playing too well.
- 41:16Speaker 3: So you're absolutely right, DT. I love it. I can't
- 41:18Speaker 3: wait for the.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Pads to come on. I'm gonna be excited now, Nicol
- 41:22Speaker 2: City Crew. Before we get to the tailgate report, we
- 41:24Speaker 2: will be back. We're here now, we ain't going nowhere.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Summer break is over technically for us. Now it's over. Man.

- 43:20Speaker 2: gotta get some stickers DT and get that on there.
- 43:22Speaker 2: So listen, check out Queen City Village. They'll take care
- 43:24Speaker 2: of you for sure, and we do appreciate the support
- 43:27Speaker 2: throughout this twenty twenty sixth season, DT. How is your summer?
- 43:31Speaker 2: Bring me up to speed? I got three things I
- 43:33Speaker 2: want to go over tonight for the Tailgate Report. How
- 43:36Speaker 2: was this summer? Bring everybody up to speed on what
- 43:38Speaker 2: DT has been doing? Besides that that excuse me? That
- 43:41Speaker 2: good golf ten?
- 43:42Speaker 1: Yeah, Well we are our here. Summer is summer living man.
- 43:46Speaker 1: It's been good. It's a lot of sun. The weather
- 43:49Speaker 1: I think has been pretty good. It hasn't. We haven't
- 43:51Speaker 1: been rained out too much. Had a few you know,
- 43:54Speaker 1: drops of heat, but nothing crazy. Fourth of July was
- 43:56Speaker 1: a blast down Chautauqua Lake with the whole fan. I
- 44:00Speaker 1: am Mayor Derek the niece and nephew, my parents. We
- 44:03Speaker 1: had a blast down there, you know, obviously Kai Page
- 44:06Speaker 1: and Miranda Andrew, all the people. We had a blast
- 44:09Speaker 1: in America two fifty. What can you do better than that? Baby?
- 44:13Speaker 1: You brought it in right. And it's been a good summer. Busy.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Work's been busy, and I'm ready for ball for sure,
- 44:21Speaker 1: But golf game's going all right. Trying to get those
- 44:23Speaker 1: swings in while I can, because when football starts, it
- 44:26Speaker 1: kind of I just lose interest because all my interest
- 44:29Speaker 1: goes to one thing. And but it's been good. It's
- 44:33Speaker 1: been good. A busy August coming up. You know, a
- 44:35Speaker 1: few things obviously going to be in the mix. We've
- 44:37Speaker 1: got some previews, some looks at the at the new
- 44:39Speaker 1: place and getting back with everybody. So it's it's gonna
- 44:43Speaker 1: be fun. And it's been a good summer thus far.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Yeah over here man at the Cripping household. Just you know,
- 44:50Speaker 2: summertime is just crazy when you got four kids, DT.
- 44:52Speaker 2: I know you're not in the kid of water yet,
- 44:54Speaker 2: take your time. Whenever you're ready to get into it,
- 44:56Speaker 2: you get into it, but just.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Take your time. It is wild the round here.
- 45:00Speaker 2: So we've got kids going every which way from Bobby
- 45:04Speaker 2: all the way through Ivy. But listen, man, we've been
- 45:05Speaker 2: having a good time. We went down to Myrtle Beach
- 45:07Speaker 2: last month, had a great time, put Ivy's feet in
- 45:10Speaker 2: the sand. She had an awesome time. The boys had
- 45:13Speaker 2: a really great time as well. The King's enjoying their sister.
- 45:16Speaker 2: But listen man, last week, a couple of weeks ago,
- 45:19Speaker 2: excuse me, in the beginning of the month was Quincy's
- 45:21Speaker 2: seventh birthday. I had a birthday bashed at the pool.
- 45:25Speaker 2: So I lived on the car. I've got a corner lot.
- 45:27Speaker 2: You already obviously you know where I live. So I
- 45:29Speaker 2: got a corner lot right across the street from my house. Literally,
- 45:32Speaker 2: you cross the street is the pool.
- 45:34Speaker 3: Uh.
- 45:34Speaker 2: So we just shut we set it up, man. I
- 45:35Speaker 2: brought the speaker out, hooked up the speaker. We had
- 45:38Speaker 2: the music going and it was really really done. It
- 45:40Speaker 2: was really nicely done.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Nice.
- 45:42Speaker 1: He had a birthday, lady.
- 45:44Speaker 2: He had like fucking fifteen kids and it just kids
- 45:49Speaker 2: everywhere jumping to the pool. You're making sure everybody is
- 45:51Speaker 2: is good and safe. But they had a great time.
- 45:53Speaker 2: So Quincy is seven, getting ready to go into the
- 45:55Speaker 2: seventh excuse me to the second grade.
- 45:57Speaker 3: So he's rock ready.
- 45:58Speaker 2: We had a it was Buffalo Bills. Obviously, what else
- 46:00Speaker 2: would be the theme. Uh, He's bills all the way.
- 46:03Speaker 3: So uh.
- 46:04Speaker 2: He was really excited to have his buddy show up
- 46:06Speaker 2: and they had a They had a fantastic time.
- 46:08Speaker 3: So we are starting to wind down.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Like I said over here, crippingh house, we're starting to
- 46:12Speaker 2: why it's time to chill.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Bobby and Ate leave again. They just got back from
- 46:15Speaker 3: vacation with their mother.
- 46:16Speaker 2: They're going again next week and then after that when
- 46:19Speaker 2: they get back, it's time to it's time to buckle down.
- 46:21Speaker 3: It's trying to buckle down and start reading some books and get.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Ready for get ready for school man, because it's coming.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, get now.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Three things I wanted to touch on DT quickly as
- 46:32Speaker 2: we wrap up tonight. The NIGGLA City Crew Tailgate Report
- 46:35Speaker 2: again presented by Queen City Village Number one, DT number
- 46:38Speaker 2: one peasants. Now you put me onto this. You put
- 46:43Speaker 2: me onto this because I was not listening. I listened
- 46:46Speaker 2: to the g R a lot, but I don't listen
- 46:48Speaker 2: as much as I used to. And it's funny because
- 46:52Speaker 2: you had text me about it, but I had heard
- 46:54Speaker 2: scuttle but about like, you know, there's something something happened
- 46:58Speaker 2: on the radio. And then you put me down and
- 47:00Speaker 2: I went back and I listened to it and listened
- 47:02Speaker 2: to the interaction.
- 47:03Speaker 3: It was all over Twitter and shit like that. Listen.
- 47:05Speaker 2: I think that I come from a unique perspective. I
- 47:07Speaker 2: know that you do as well. I'm obviously still being
- 47:10Speaker 2: in Buffalo. I'm a form Now I can officially say
- 47:13Speaker 2: I'm a former season ticket holder since.
- 47:14Speaker 3: From two thousand and nine until last year, I was
- 47:17Speaker 3: a season.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Ticket holder of the Buffalo Bills all the way from
- 47:19Speaker 2: Charlotte Drive up six hundred and fifty miles up six
- 47:21Speaker 2: hundred and fifty miles back thirteen hundred miles round trip,
- 47:24Speaker 2: every single week unless the Bills were out of playoff contention,
- 47:27Speaker 2: and I'd sell them. So my dedication runs deep. I
- 47:30Speaker 2: understand dt that the PSLs are an extra investment. So
- 47:35Speaker 2: not only did I make the investment to buy the tickets,
- 47:37Speaker 2: but now I've got to make the investment to get
- 47:39Speaker 2: into the country club.
- 47:40Speaker 3: That's all PSLs are.
- 47:41Speaker 2: For those who don't know, a personal seat license is
- 47:43Speaker 2: like a country club. I've got to pay the dues
- 47:45Speaker 2: to the country club for the right to come spend
- 47:48Speaker 2: money at the country club. That's separate from the season ticket.
- 47:51Speaker 2: It's crazy, I mean, but that's what it is. So
- 47:54Speaker 2: it's separate from your season ticket. I understand that people
- 47:57Speaker 2: have paid tons and tons of money. What I don't
- 48:00Speaker 2: understand is if you have the opportunity to be the
- 48:02Speaker 2: first ones into the stadium, you have the with the
- 48:04Speaker 2: blue and red, right, that's that's.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Just seasons, just season tickeovers.
- 48:09Speaker 2: Then your second opportunity to go into the stadium will
- 48:12Speaker 2: be the preseason game against the Panthers.
- 48:15Speaker 3: Why are you.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Bitching about the bills making your practice open to the
- 48:20Speaker 2: general public when a lot of the general public camp
- 48:22Speaker 2: quote unquote afford to go to a game. Now, I
- 48:24Speaker 2: understand that, you know, the ticket prices have been a
- 48:27Speaker 2: hot topic. I still think I still contest that they
- 48:29Speaker 2: will go down as we get closer to September.
- 48:32Speaker 3: But DT for.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Somebody to go on the radio and call motherfucker's peasants
- 48:36Speaker 2: that that is diabolical. When I when I heard back,
- 48:39Speaker 2: I was like, after you put me onto it, And
- 48:41Speaker 2: then I went on Twitter and found I was like,
- 48:43Speaker 2: he really said that I think that I think that
- 48:46Speaker 2: that they're missing the I think they're missing the mark
- 48:49Speaker 2: a little bit. And people, because he's not the only
- 48:51Speaker 2: one that feels that way. There are some people that
- 48:52Speaker 2: feel that way. Don't sit in my seat. It's my seat.
- 48:56Speaker 2: I paid for it. I get access to everything. And
- 48:59Speaker 2: first of all, you did and read the fucking frying print,
- 49:01Speaker 2: because I know how PSL is, because they have them
- 49:02Speaker 2: down here Charlotte with the Panthers. You do not get
- 49:05Speaker 2: access to every single fucking event that happens. The concert happens,
- 49:08Speaker 2: you might, but there's other concerts that you won't. There's
- 49:10Speaker 2: certain events that you might, but there's certain events that
- 49:12Speaker 2: you don't get. It's not your fucking seat. I understand
- 49:15Speaker 2: it's your seat. It's your seat, but it's not yours.
- 49:19Speaker 3: Don't I don't know. DT.
- 49:20Speaker 2: I had a tough time with it, man, I had
- 49:22Speaker 2: a tough time with it. And that is for me
- 49:24Speaker 2: knowing what it's like to be a season ticketload. I
- 49:26Speaker 2: know it's like to make that investments.
- 49:29Speaker 1: And all those season ticket holders in the old stadium
- 49:32Speaker 1: into the new all those people were knew what are
- 49:35Speaker 1: true Buffalo people, and they're not any you know, like
- 49:38Speaker 1: you never said the word pesant when you were sitting
- 49:40Speaker 1: in the rock pile fourteen beers deep in a week's
- 49:44Speaker 1: thirteen game, you know, like like relax, right, So like
- 49:48Speaker 1: I don't think, like I don't think that's an actual
- 49:50Speaker 1: belief of people, But I think obviously the logical thought here, why, yeah,
- 49:55Speaker 1: the season digo holders get two shots to go in
- 49:57Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, go sell whatever. Then you
- 50:00Speaker 1: get to go there or you don't. And then on
- 50:02Speaker 1: a random Tuesday morning at eight am, if you people
- 50:05Speaker 1: were waiting in line getting on Ticketmaster to get these tickets,
- 50:08Speaker 1: you get a few tickets to get in this place.
- 50:09Speaker 1: It's gonna be forty thousand people. It's gonna be mayhem
- 50:12Speaker 1: as in the morning on a Tuesday, in the middle
- 50:15Speaker 1: of summer with work traffic, and it's gonna be crazy. Sorry,
- 50:19Speaker 1: season take holder. So the logical so the peasants can
- 50:22Speaker 1: get in doing something like that, God bless them. And
- 50:25Speaker 1: I would say, you know, but the monster has been created,
- 50:31Speaker 1: rob like to sell this stadium, to sell these seats.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Credit to the marketing team because they created the probably
- 50:38Speaker 1: the best salesman they could have in this situation that
- 50:40Speaker 1: their tactic was this. You basically had to caress these
- 50:45Speaker 1: people into paying the thousands of thousands of dollars they
- 50:48Speaker 1: weren't used to paying and give them really not what's
- 50:50Speaker 1: the reason. There's not really a reason. The reason is
- 50:53Speaker 1: just you have to like, you don't get it for
- 50:56Speaker 1: doing it. So to make that, to convince these people
- 51:01Speaker 1: and manipulate these people into doing something like that, you
- 51:04Speaker 1: had to make it seem like they were probably crazier
- 51:07Speaker 1: than they actually are. And the truth of it is,
- 51:09Speaker 1: it's just the price to walk inside the door of
- 51:11Speaker 1: the country club. It's just the price to get in it.
- 51:13Speaker 1: Don't get your shit. It gets you the first it
- 51:16Speaker 1: gets you the Blue and Red game. That's what it
- 51:17Speaker 1: gets you. So it it's not end all, be all,
- 51:21Speaker 1: And I don't think people actually believe that, like the
- 51:23Speaker 1: season ticket olders actually think. People don't think it's but
- 51:28Speaker 1: I think it's you know, I think monsters that have
- 51:30Speaker 1: definitely been created because the sales tactic. They have to
- 51:33Speaker 1: juice these people up and be like, no, no, you
- 51:37Speaker 1: can do whatever with it. You can do whatever. You're
- 51:39Speaker 1: getting twenty thousand dollars at your seat, it's all yours.
- 51:41Speaker 1: You can do whatever, and then so now people are like, well,
- 51:43Speaker 1: actually you told me I could do whatever, and now
- 51:46Speaker 1: I can't. So now I'm saying something about it. But
- 51:48Speaker 1: it's read the fine print, two asshole, Like it is
- 51:51Speaker 1: what it is. Everyone's got to pay it. Everyone's got
- 51:54Speaker 1: to pay it, you know, like get over it. And
- 51:57Speaker 1: if you if you didn't pay it, somebody else, whatever,
- 52:00Speaker 1: he didn't pay it, somebody else would have. It is
- 52:02Speaker 1: what it is. Every seat. It's not like we're the
- 52:04Speaker 1: only NFL team that does it. Every stadium ever does
- 52:06Speaker 1: it now, so whatever. But yeah, so that's where I
- 52:10Speaker 1: stand on It's it's I think monstros have definitely been created,
- 52:13Speaker 1: but it's also the most logical. The Peasants get the
- 52:16Speaker 1: eight AM forty thousand jam on Tuesday morning.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Oh my god, I I okay, no, probably we got
- 52:24Speaker 2: two other things things, all right. The Nickel City crew,
- 52:29Speaker 2: well excuse me, the Nickel City Bill's jerseys came out
- 52:33Speaker 2: and that was interesting this week.
- 52:35Speaker 3: DT.
- 52:36Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna have to get one for branding purposes,
- 52:38Speaker 2: because I mean, I'm contractually obligated to get that jersey.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Give me your quick thoughts on it before I get
- 52:45Speaker 2: to my last thing. I don't I didn't have a
- 52:47Speaker 2: problem with the jersey. I know that it is a
- 52:48Speaker 2: little bit blah for people, a little bit blad. If
- 52:50Speaker 2: you don't understand why it's Nickel City, I can't help you.
- 52:53Speaker 2: It's literally the first intro I ever did was letting
- 52:57Speaker 2: you know that back in nineteen thirteen, Buffalo.
- 52:59Speaker 3: Was known as the Nickel City.
- 53:01Speaker 2: There was the Buffalo Nickel, so the Buffalo Nichols in
- 53:03Speaker 2: circulation for about fifteen years.
- 53:05Speaker 3: Or so, and that's where they got that phrase.
- 53:07Speaker 2: I think that that phrase came Nickel City came before
- 53:11Speaker 2: Queen City, but there's been some disputes on Twitter about.
- 53:13Speaker 3: That, so who knows.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Listen, Buffalo has always been known as Nickel City. It's
- 53:17Speaker 2: not quite as well known as like the City of
- 53:20Speaker 2: Good Neighbors or Queen City, but it has always been
- 53:22Speaker 2: known as Nickel City.
- 53:23Speaker 3: So I love that.
- 53:24Speaker 2: Because of that, I am contractually obligated to Niicle City
- 53:27Speaker 2: crew to get that jersey.
- 53:30Speaker 3: The helmets are just dogshit, DT. I can't I can't
- 53:32Speaker 3: dress it up.
- 53:33Speaker 2: I understand that they sent Josh Allen out there the
- 53:35Speaker 2: other day like a puppet and said you better support
- 53:37Speaker 2: this ship. So he goes out there as the company man.
- 53:39Speaker 2: And so they stopped hating on the jerseys. I mean,
- 53:42Speaker 2: I don't hear anything about they're not liking them. You know,
- 53:45Speaker 2: I like them, you know, stop hating, Stop hating. I
- 53:47Speaker 2: don't have any problem with the jerseys really, I know
- 53:49Speaker 2: they're a little bit bland for people. The helmets, I
- 53:52Speaker 2: don't I don't know. I don't know what. I don't
- 53:55Speaker 2: know what was on the drawing board and who was
- 53:57Speaker 2: designing that shit. They're horrible their dogshit. So and that's
- 54:01Speaker 2: my take. I don't need anybody to be on it
- 54:02Speaker 2: with me. They're they're absolute dogshit.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I the great the grays. I I
- 54:09Speaker 1: can get down with the grays. I can. I can
- 54:11Speaker 1: get down with you know, it's it's an alternate jersey.
- 54:15Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be a color that's we like
- 54:17Speaker 1: or color that's like that's black or what. It can
- 54:20Speaker 1: be greg whatever, it's cool and it you get down
- 54:26Speaker 1: with that. But the helmets I can't get around. We
- 54:28Speaker 1: talked about this the other night. It looks like they
- 54:30Speaker 1: were handed out of the of the of the storage
- 54:33Speaker 1: dumpster out behind the high school field on equipment handout
- 54:38Speaker 1: day when it's like all right, Johnny, yep, you look,
- 54:41Speaker 1: you look about a large. Take this one, buddy, But coach,
- 54:46Speaker 1: it's got it's got a kicker's face mask on it.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Well it's the only one that fits you.
- 54:51Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's what.
- 54:53Speaker 1: These helmets look like. Rob They're blank in the front.
- 54:55Speaker 1: You can't see to the back. The charge I get.
- 54:59Speaker 1: It's all around the state. That's what they're trying to do.
- 55:01Speaker 1: It's the new it's the new look. Okay, that's fine,
- 55:05Speaker 1: but you know, I just wish it came up higher
- 55:07Speaker 1: because it just looks so blank in the front. And
- 55:09Speaker 1: we talked about no aura, no aura, there's no we
- 55:13Speaker 1: want to be we want to be dogs. We talked
- 55:14Speaker 1: about dogness earlier, and there's no dogness in these uniforms.
- 55:18Speaker 1: They're bland and in blank and so you know it.
- 55:23Speaker 1: They're tough. But Josh Allen goes three touchdowns past three
- 55:27Speaker 1: dutchdowns rush and we win by forty and one. They're
- 55:30Speaker 1: sick and I'm a I'm a company man at the
- 55:34Speaker 1: end of the day. So Nickel City, Nickel City, Nico City, Jerseys.
- 55:39Speaker 3: I love Nickel City.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to get one because of like
- 55:45Speaker 2: I said, I'm actually obligated to the to the show.
- 55:47Speaker 3: I mean, it is what it is. So that's so funny.
- 55:51Speaker 2: You're your analogy of the helmets from the back back
- 55:54Speaker 2: dumpster bin is very very very funny.
- 55:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I I I don't get it, but it's all good.
- 55:59Speaker 2: Last thing, last thing, I'm trying to get this in
- 56:02Speaker 2: so we can get it in under our so Instagram
- 56:03Speaker 2: can hear it.
- 56:04Speaker 3: Okay, last thing.
- 56:05Speaker 2: This is all stuff that we were we were gone,
- 56:07Speaker 2: we were on summer break, Nickel City Crew, we could,
- 56:09Speaker 2: we were on some break. I wanted to address a
- 56:11Speaker 2: couple of things up we had heard while we were
- 56:13Speaker 2: on somemer break. The last thing, DT is it's very
- 56:17Speaker 2: personal to me because of the fact that I'm very
- 56:21Speaker 2: big on I don't put.
- 56:23Speaker 3: My athletes on pedestals.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Okay, just from that's just like a rule of mine,
- 56:28Speaker 2: like I don't I don't put athletes or entertainers on pedestals.
- 56:31Speaker 2: And then I trickle that down to my children, you know,
- 56:33Speaker 2: to my kids, like my kings, my princess, We're not
- 56:35Speaker 2: gonna we're not gonna put an entertainer on a pedestal
- 56:38Speaker 2: because that person puts on their pants, just like DT
- 56:41Speaker 2: does just like I do, one leg at a time.
- 56:43Speaker 2: All right, So preaching rant over the bills decided to
- 56:47Speaker 2: not take O. J. Simpson into the new stadium. Here,
- 56:51Speaker 2: I will not even make you make a point on it.
- 56:54Speaker 2: I do want to get your opinions on it. Me First,
- 56:58Speaker 2: I think that it was cowardly. I think that it
- 57:02Speaker 2: was done on purpose. They named it, they named the
- 57:07Speaker 2: circle family Circle. I think that that was very, very
- 57:10Speaker 2: fucking intentional. Here's my thing, and this is for everybody
- 57:13Speaker 2: out there. Listen, if if it's if we are I'm
- 57:19Speaker 2: I'm coming from a place where he was found not guilty.
- 57:21Speaker 2: So because of that, because of that, nothing that he
- 57:24Speaker 2: has done afterwards would have excluded him from being on
- 57:29Speaker 2: the wall.
- 57:29Speaker 3: Okay, he was already on the wall. Secondly, and I
- 57:32Speaker 3: know that this is polarizing.
- 57:33Speaker 2: Secondly, when he was found not guilty, even if somebody
- 57:39Speaker 2: felt that way, number one, chiefly Ralph Wilson. Number two,
- 57:43Speaker 2: when Terry Poula bought the team, they could have removed
- 57:45Speaker 2: his name right off of principle. Hey, he was found
- 57:47Speaker 2: not guilty, but I don't know. I think he did it.
- 57:50Speaker 2: We're taking his ass off the wall. Everybody would have
- 57:52Speaker 2: had to deal with it. I think DT, they made
- 57:54Speaker 2: a bigger deal and a bigger mess of it by
- 57:57Speaker 2: announcing that he wasn't going, as opposed to just putting
- 58:00Speaker 2: him in the family circle and being quiet about it.
- 58:02Speaker 2: How many people would have gone to family circle, saw
- 58:06Speaker 2: saw Oj and then started rioting and picketing and stuff
- 58:10Speaker 2: like that. How many people would have done that as
- 58:12Speaker 2: opposed to the discourse that I mean, I heard national
- 58:14Speaker 2: people talking about their decisions stuff like that. I thought
- 58:17Speaker 2: that it was it was in bad taste and that
- 58:20Speaker 2: again again, I'm not here, I'm not a lawyer.
- 58:22Speaker 3: I'm not here to talk. I think he did it.
- 58:24Speaker 3: That that has nothing to do with anything.
- 58:27Speaker 2: And the point I kept making on Twitter DT was
- 58:29Speaker 2: that there are men on that wall that.
- 58:33Speaker 3: Have done funked up shit.
- 58:34Speaker 2: Of course, not the same funked up shit that that
- 58:36Speaker 2: OJ was accused of, or a lot of people think
- 58:39Speaker 2: that he did. What the case may be, he was
- 58:41Speaker 2: found not guilty. There's nothing that excludes him from being
- 58:43Speaker 2: on the wall after he was found not guilty. I
- 58:46Speaker 2: don't I don't know, man, I just I thought it
- 58:48Speaker 2: was cowardly. He's dead now, there's no way that his
- 58:50Speaker 2: pr or anything like that can defend him. I thought
- 58:53Speaker 2: it was I thought it was weird, and I thought
- 58:55Speaker 2: that if they put him in the family circle bottom line,
- 58:57Speaker 2: nobody really they really wouldn't have cared. Nobody would like
- 59:00Speaker 2: to face this ship, nobody would have done protests. It
- 59:03Speaker 2: just it would have gone under the radar. I just
- 59:05Speaker 2: thought that it was just unnecessary because not all of
- 59:07Speaker 2: those nineties bills guys were perfect citizens either. So I
- 59:11Speaker 2: just think that you don't differentiate and and you just
- 59:14Speaker 2: let them all go because of the fact that that's
- 59:15Speaker 2: just how it goes.
- 59:16Speaker 3: Man. Don't put your athletes on a pedestal.
- 59:19Speaker 1: Of course not. I'll let you. I'll let you. And
- 59:23Speaker 1: that's a beautiful rant, and I agree with it. But yeah,
- 59:26Speaker 1: you said it right, you are. You know, if his
- 59:30Speaker 1: name was in the new stadium, nobody would have said
- 59:32Speaker 1: a word. And that's what it comes down to. It
- 59:34Speaker 1: could have been removed and it wasn't. Now it's a
- 59:35Speaker 1: big deal. It's stupid, so great rant, I'll let you
- 59:38Speaker 1: finish it.
- 59:40Speaker 2: Don't want to touch that. And that's cool, and I mean, listen,
- 59:43Speaker 2: that's how I feel. Those are some three things that
- 59:45Speaker 2: we missed during the summertime break. If you want to
- 59:47Speaker 2: disagree with you, you can. I've already thought a lot
- 59:50Speaker 2: of people on Twitter about it, so it's all good.
- 59:51Speaker 3: Man. Listen, DT, I'm excited, man. Next week offensive preview.
- 59:56Speaker 2: The week after Defensive Preview, will getting back into the
- 59:58Speaker 2: swing of things.
- 59:58Speaker 3: DT. I appreciate your times and man, I'm excited, DT.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: I have last word. I'm excited. Man.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: It's funny because gr today was talking about oh man,
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: you know, a lot of fans are just feeling like
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: it's you know, and I and I know, like, oh man,
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: we're just doing the same thing again, it's groundhog Day.
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: In the beginning of the season, I just I don't
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: feel that way, and I don't know. I just I
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: want to stay that way as much as I can.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Now when we get into the season, I have a
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: hard time not thinking about the playoffs. We've talked about
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: that years ago with me wanting to enjoy the regular
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: season and having a tough time doing that because I'm
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: always focused on the playoffs. But when it's training camp
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: and before the first game starts, I'm not thinking about
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: anything other than just being excited for my new team.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: I you gotta, you gotta, it's gotta be on a
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: on an uptick, right, I'm I think of We've gotten
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: good at that over the years of really you know,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: now we're excited, Like I definitely put other things into
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: my summer to not you know, football, football, whatever. It's
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: in the back of my mind now the actual when
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: the pads come on. As we ran about earlier, I'm
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: into football now, so I need to channel it. But
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: how can you not get excited for what this team is,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: what it means to us, what it's about to mean,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: you know, like everything, the potential of it, all the
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: fun we've already pre planned for this season, and Nickel
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: City Crew is gonna be sick, right, so it's gonna
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: be uh, it's gonna be great. I'm ready to go.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna ease in with the boys, right they're in
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: training camp. We're in training camp. We'll get we'll get rocking.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: As the preseason starts, we'll start getting a little a
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: little smoother, a little hotter. And then when when Week
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: one kicks down in down in the Astronome, Houston, it's
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: time to go. So that's uh, we got to ease
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: up with the team. We're we're hoping for a healthy, healthy,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: healthy summer. We don't want you know, could have, should
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: have wood us. We need the excuses are gone. And yeah,
