  Speaker 1: what I've from what I've gathered all my conversations with you, Rob,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: We've had some really good conversations over the years. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited to get to it tonight on this show.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And let's give the Nickel City a great one.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, let's break it down because it's funny. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I've talked about it. I listened to that episode that
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: we had last year for the twenty three Ansley Breakdown,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: and you know, things are a little bit different now
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: DT as we break down the conference. But one of
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the things is that you know, when things were going
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: bad at six and six up until that point, I
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: was all in and I thought that we had a
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: super Bowl team. I don't think that we have one
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: this year in respects to a true contender. But Bills
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Mafia will love to tell you that all you need
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: is seventeen and all you need is a ticket, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: to a certain extent that's true. You know, it's sports,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: So anytime with professional sports or any type of competition,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: all you need is an opportunity. I think that Josh
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Allen gives us that opportunity to get into the playoffs
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: this year, DT, even.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: With you know, obviously the myriad of changes on the roster.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: So I always wondering what you thought about it, because
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I know you didn't listen to the last year's episode,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: but I did, and I was before and I was
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: talking shit, and I was like, man, these people keep
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: talking about you know, we're not the top dogs anymore
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: and we're underdogs, and I kept rebuking all that. This year, DT,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: I'm a little quieter, I'm a little besides my Twitter battles,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: I'm just I'm just taking low and I'm just I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: just observing this year. Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the ride. I promise that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Well. My tone, my tone round the last two weeks
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: has been, you know, we just gotta let the pads talk. Now.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You know this summer, it happens every year, and this
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: year I think we feel a little little more because
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I gotta you know, I've had to defend the team
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a little more than we have in the previous seasons. Right,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the vibe is low, you know, the the overall outlook
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I think is low. But once we start getting closer,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I admit I was a little on that vibe. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: now I'm getting more pumped up, I'm getting more confident,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm getting more we got one seven, that's what matters.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Type of vibe. So I think, you know this, I
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: need the pads to start talking to themselves because you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it's been such an up and down emotional off seat
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: is in of you know, are we good, Yes we're good,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: No we're not. Yes we are, no we're not.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And then we.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Didn't really see anything in the preseason to tell us
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: either way. Right, So it's all gonna come down to,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you know, next Sunday, the eighth, when when we're out
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: there screaming and letting the pads talk, letting letting them clap,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and and then we just got to get to that point.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sick of these preseason rankings and this this week
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: about people voting. Gotta we got to get over until
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the pads start talking. And so I agree. I'm not
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: as pumped up as I had been in previous years,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: but I will say I'm starting to get a little
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: more aggressive, a little more, a little more confident going
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: into this year knowing we do have one seven and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: kind of talking myself into some other places where I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: thought we were really bare and then really looking at
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it and saying, like, you know what, I think we'll
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: be okay. So I'm I'm the glass at full guy.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Nicol Sidey knows that. Rob, you know that, and I'll
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: continue to be that. You could give me your money,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: sit down in the chair, and make you walk out
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: of here feeling good about this team because we got
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a damn good team still, and we got a generational
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: quarterback in one seven. So I'm getting on the pump
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: up game. We're gonna be just fine with the boy.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Oh I love it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Listen, Ryan, you know it's funny because I've been listening
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: to some of your work throughout the off season, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: you've done a great job of breaking everything down. I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: almost you know, like DT had said, I'm actually at
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: off season fatigued like I'm I.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: You know, the season could not.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Be coming a day you know later, you know, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: am really ready for September eighth. What are you looking
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: for in respect to your expectations for this team before
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: we get into the AFC? And then nitty gritty, because
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's it's it's a different year. I
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: will say that there's a lot of roster turnover and
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: the Bills had to go younger, and I understood that
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: a lot of the stuff we've talked about in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: past had to happen. Some of the stuff was necessary
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: for us to take some medicine, and then some stuff wasn't.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: So because of that, a lot has changed and I'm
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: just watching everything closer to what's your expectations for the year.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Honestly, you know, to kind of start off with just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: my excitement, I think my excitement is always going to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: be in an all time high, uh when it comes
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: when it comes to this team, just because Bill's football
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: has a special meaning to me, you know, growing up
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: watching games with my grandfather and my dad. I was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: born into this. It's like a birth It's like a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: birthright for the majority of us, right, and that part
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of it is is what makes it so special. So
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that part of it always has me excited finding out
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do week to week. My game day routine.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Am I gonna am I gonna watch the game with
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: my dad's? Was my dad gonna come to my place?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Things like that. That's always what gets us, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: really excited. But just looking at the x'es and o's,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: we'd be, you know, feeling a little bit like we're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lying to ourselves here if we told ourselves that this
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: year wasn't a different year compared to compared to you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: other years. At least you know, on paper, the Bills
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: are a very different team than what they are or
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: what they were previously. You know, a lot of leadership
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is lost off of this team, specifically defensively that I've
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: talked about, you know, and Rob and I have talked
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: about kind of off the air that I think is
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: really crucial to finding out who the leaders are going
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to be outside of Josh Allen. We know Josh Allen
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: is going to take the largest leadership role that he
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: possibly has ever had to take. But beyond that, who
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is going to step up? And there's a lot of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: guys on this team that are you know, quote unquote ready,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but we don't know who those who those will be
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: until the until the games are played. And that's what
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: makes football such a special sport. My expectations despite their
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: changes on the roster, on paper, I still think that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they're the beast of the AFC East. I don't think
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the teams have done enough to bridge the gap between
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: them and Buffalo. And at this point I could be
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: wrong on that. Maybe I'll eat my words on that,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but you know, there's reports of disarray with the Jets.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I always call them the New York Jokes because they're
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: just a constant running joke. Each and every year. They
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: always find a way to shoot themselves in the foot.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Miami is under a lot of changes defensively to is one,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you know, slip away from from always getting heard, it seems,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and New England is just.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Overall they're extremely young.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You know, they're starting back up. It's like a whole
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: new program to take a college term. So I still
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: think the bills of the King of the AFCs and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that means playoffs. So from there, you know, that's where
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we got to really get into the nitty gritty makes
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it changes.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: It makes the changes.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: See it's interesting because you know, to properly do this exercise, DT,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: you know, we've got to you know, just go by
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: the divisions and like we did last year and just
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: kind of kind of you know, hash it out, so
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: to speak. And and one of the things that Ryan
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: just said that was interesting to be because I have
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: a different take, is that, you know, when you look
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: at the divisions and things like that, like, there are
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: just so many great quarterbacks in this conference now and
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: we've seen it DT with you know, some of the
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: recent extensions and different things like that, and just like
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: the balance of power between AOC NFC. You know, back
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: when I was a kid and the Bills are going
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: to Super Bowl, you know that it was a weaker conference.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: You know, the AFC was weaker than the NFC, and
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: that's you know, that helped the Bills and establish their donomance. Now,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: obviously they had all those all Hall of famers, so
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: they deserved credit for winning those four straight AFC titles,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: but their path was was a lot clearer.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: You had l Way, you had Marino, and then after
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: that there wasn't a lot of you know, there wasn't
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: a lot of resistance in respects of the AFC quarterbacks.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Now everything has flipped thirty you know, thirty years later, DT,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: there are this I mean, I just looked at the
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Day of Divisions again, man, and like this conference is stacked?
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Are the quarterbacks on our schedule are stack? We talked
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: about that before we did our recap show for the schedule, DT.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: This shit is not like it's not even slowing down, man.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: This is a real, real heavy quarterback conference. And they've
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: got some young studs in there as well.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It keeps getting harder, Rob. But you know the thing
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: is is you kind of watch the transition of this conference,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: in the transition of the bills. Else you look at,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the teams that the young hungry teams like
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the Houston Texans of the world, where they don't have
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: to pay anybody. They're not paying anybody on that roster,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: so they can stack it up, you know, as high
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: as possible to be to get into this conversation of
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: an elite team in the AFC. And then you look
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: on the other end of it, a team like the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Chiefs who have had to go through a little bit
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of the salary cap rotation and cut some you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: cut a Tyreek hill and cut guys like that and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: still be successful, you know, because they had the generational
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: quarterback and so on and so forth. So the Bills
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: are kind of right in the middle of that standard,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: right They weren't so much just a young team that
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: could stack up without paying anybody up until this year,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: but they were close to it. You know, Josh Josh.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Salary really wasn't hitting much. They didn't have really too
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: many big time guys or wide receivers, weren't making forty
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year, you know, things of that nature.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Now they have to reset and kind of move into that,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: you know, that Chiefs role of having to not rebuild
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: but reset the salary cap and win from within and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: win off the culture. And then you've got the younger
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: teams coming up, where the Bengals are starting to kind
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of creep into that category of oh, can we pay
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase Anti higginst No, can't showing up the practice
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and yeahs doesn't lot to be unfranchise tag when then
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: they gotta pay Joe Burrow and they had to get
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: rid of Joe Mixon, and you know, so you're seeing
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the transition of young up and coming teams where they
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: don't have to pay anybody killing it as sneaking into
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: this loaded conference. And the conference is already loaded on
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the top with these teams that have kind of got
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: through that rebuild. So we got to cross our figures
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and hope the Bills are one of those teams and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: can give it through that rebuild, reset of the salary
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: cap to kind of move forward and continue being a
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: dominant team in this conference. But yeah, it doesn't get
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it doesn't get easier because these teams are these younger
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: teams are coming in and being able to stack up,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and so it's every week is a is a tough
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: matchup in the in the AFC.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, it's crazy this conference that, you know, right,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: It's like when I think about it, like just all
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: the different matchups and different things like that and all
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: the different possibilities. It's just like I just I'm I'm
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: very I'm very I'm impressed with the quarterbacks. And that's
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: what kind of you know, that's again something that tempers
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: my expectations and respects to the fact that I know
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: the defense has got a heavy load to lift this
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: year to to kind of pick up for some of
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: the stuff on the offense that has definitely changed. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: we've already gone through, and you've gone through on your
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: show as well, all the different changes. So we won't
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: we won't board the audience with all of those tonight.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: But you know, specifically something you just said, we'll stick
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: with the AFC East first and then we'll go around
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: the conference. I have a different take on the Jets,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Like the Jets kind of I don't know, man, if
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: if this dude, Aaron Rodgers could find a way to
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: stay healthy, you know, I just I don't know, man.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: They've got one of the top defenses ryan in the
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: in the you know, in the actual and have a quarterback.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, they had no quarterback last year.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: They won seven games with with Zach Wilson, and he
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: didn't and he didn't even want to come into one
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: of the games, Like, you know, He's like, I'm we're
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: getting beat up so much, I don't even want to
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: come into the fucking game.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Like that is wild to me.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: And I just I look at him a little bit
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: side eyed, right, I gotta be honest, you know, I
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: look at them a little bit side eye.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I don't disagree with there was a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: word that you used and everything you said, everything you said,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. But if if was the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: word you use, if Aaron Rodgers stays healthy, now, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: tend to think that as an athlete, the older you get,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the more prone you are to injury. Sure, the older
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, right, the older Aaron Rodgers has gotten, He's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: faced injuries, and he's coming off of a very, very
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: tough one. Now. I know that the Jets have done
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a lot to add to their offensive line. I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they have three new offensive linemen that were, you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: guys that they spent money on that they used cap
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: space to get. So they wanted to right or wrong there.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: But interestingly enough, I just recently watched the sequence of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: events that led to Aaron Rodgers getting hurt. And every
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: single play that Aaron Rodgers dropped back with the football,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: he got either touched or hit. So that just goes
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to show you that I think the injury that he
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: suffered as horrible as it was, it was almost like
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a bound bound to happen, almost bound. Yeah, so I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: definitely am a little bit.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I mean with new one, you could see him in
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: that situation again. Basically I can see him in that
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: situation again. Yeah, with new pieces. Sometimes a lot of
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: new pieces.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Is not good.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a little bit of a you know,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you want a little bit of continuity. And to be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: honest with you, it seems like Aaron Rodgers to me,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: has never struck me as the type of leader that
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or some of these other
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: guys were. And to me, I think that that locker
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: room outside of Rogers, he's got to be having conversations
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: with the coaching staff about what TV shows he grew
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: up watching. I can't find a way that Aaron Rodgers
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: can relate to these guys, Yeah, because they're twenty years
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: younger than him. Breese was was not even probably born
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: yet by the time Ran Rodgers was playing a col
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: So it's really hard for me to say, is that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: is that the guy that's gonna topple Josh Allen, who
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: is in his prime that, yeah, he's gonna be without
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: some weapons that he was accustomed to having, obviously, But
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I'd take my chances with that guy in uncharted territory
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: at twenty seven the Aaron Rodgers at forty forty one.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And that's just the offense. The Jets defense is very,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: very good, but eventually that that that cellery stick can break,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you know. And if if if the fact that their
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: defense is as good as it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Is, they have to They've They've got every level, every level, got.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: The william Brothers and the and the line and linebackers,
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: then they got Sauce in the secondary, they've got studs
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: like real all pro.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But if and here's another if if they have
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to over rely on that defense to make plays for them,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: if the offense is you know, not as good as
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they think, which is possible, then that could be more
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of the same. And I just I don't trust the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Jets to get it right. I've never seen it in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: my lifetime. I've never seen the Jets get it right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: The team that would honestly be the team that would
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: scare me more out of the two is Miami because
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Miami has pure firepower, the likes which I don't think
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: any other team has so That's just kind of how
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I look at if you now, if you were to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: take Miami's offense and the Jets defense, I guess, yeah,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: we got some problems. We got some problems, but other
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: than that, I think we're all right.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Doub trug.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Ryan just poured water all over all over my Jets
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: take because like I'm just I don't know.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: They make me a little bit nervous.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: And I'm just being honest because just because like I
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: looked at the injury and I love how you broke
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: that down, Ryan, Because the injury, I looked at it
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: as a freak injury. But then the way you broke
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: it down, it was like, yes, he was touched on
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: those previous plays. The only lasted four plays, as everybody knows,
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: and I could see him in that situation again, you
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: know realistically, So to me, if he's if he's healthy,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I just I don't know how you could be worse
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: than last year with Zach Wilson DT.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I don't even know how, and they won seventh game.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. But you know, Alpha Rhino was
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: off of what Ryan was saying that Aaron Rodgers hasn't
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: been an elite quarterback in the league and going on
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: three years now, you know, like it's not like he
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: was he was throwing dimes up, you know, in February
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: six months ago this guy, and we have not seen
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: him perform in an elite level in almost three years.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: So and the best point I think Ryan Brown is
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: they haven't figured it out our whole lives. I mean,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: they went to that one answer game and that was
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that was a fluke, you know, with I like.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I like Jad Pennington, though, I will say Pennington had
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a couple.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he carved a couple.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Of year a little bit, you know, Wayne Krebbett.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Martins and you know, and those those cats. But again,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: they haven't figured it out. Yes, the roster has been good,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: but it just seems like they always implode. I mean,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: they trade for Hassan Reddick and then he won't even
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: play when they had a guy they didn't even have
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: to pay that's probably better in their room already. You know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: they just do stuff like that every year, and so
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: it doesn't give me any confidence. I grew up and really,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you know, the rivalry was, you know, in the beginning,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: was the Dolphins, then I turned to the Patriots. It
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: was because Tom Brady would torch us. Then I went
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to college with a bunch of downstate kids and the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Jets took the number one hate for me. I mean,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: all these cocky Long Island kids shout out on my
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: squad down there, but then it's with their jetsies. It
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: just wasn't. The Jets turned into number one for me,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and then since them, since then, it's all talk, it's no,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: it's no bite, and I'm gonna I'm gonna ride that
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: until until I don't see it anymore, until we get
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: punched them out ourselves and be like, Okay, maybe that
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: for real. But Aaron Rodgers is far removed. He's old,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have the leadership I think maybe a young
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: team of talent needs. And they haven't shown me shit
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: in my whole life, so I'm not buying them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: What team of the division as we move on to Miami,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: what team of the division gives us a harder time
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: than the Jets? And now that now you guys can
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: both say during Josh Allen's tenure that is true. So regardless,
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: you know, they give us tough games. Their defense knows
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: how to how to cover Allen for whatever reason, whether
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: it's Salah or whether it's a different scheme, it doesn't
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: really matter.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: They always give us a tough game.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: But okay, I can see that we need to see it,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: and I can I can give it to both of
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: you on that that we haven't seen it, so I
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: can at least give you that. But as we transition
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: to Miami again, shout out to all of the listeners
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: on all different platforms. Now we've already got over three
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty. I really appreciate you guys joining us tonight.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: DT.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: You know, Ryan, Ryan, you talked about Miami a little bit.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I think that they're exploded. So if I think that
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: they're you know, an offense, and obviously I ended I
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: really do enjoy Mike McDaniel.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: I wish he was our coach. I just put up
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: a poll on Twitter that you probably saw.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Its like, if you know what I mean, what happens
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: if McDermott, you know, doesn't he got fired or something
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: like that, You know what you want Mike McDaniel, And
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: I definitely would want him. And I know that that's
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: just a pipe tree, but I value what he does
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: on the offensive side of the ball. I think he's
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: a great offensive mind, and I think that they're always
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: going to be in it until it gets cold, because
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: it just seems like that's that seems to be their
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: kryptonite is when the weather changes, they're just not tough.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: What did Jordan Poyer say when he went down there
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: to Miami to join them? He said that we weren't
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: really we knew we punched y'all in the mouth, y'all
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: weren't gonna hit back like y'all gonna fall over, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: that that has proven to be true. I haven't really
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: ever seen, you know, McDermott coach a better game than
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: he did. Me and DT you talked about that was
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: as magnum opus at at at, you.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Know, after Row last year.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: That was they played that Paul's coverage, that was the
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: best I've ever seen him coach a team after you
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: know what, they score seventy points the week before.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: So what do you think about Miami?
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Because I think that, you know, until the weather changes,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: they can rack up wins, put up points.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I met a joke to you
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: know a few buddies of mine, longtime buddies of mine,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: which we're talking football all the time, and group texts
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and stuff, And I said, literally, if you were to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: go to if you had, you know, all the money
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: in the world, you wanted to buy a sports car,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you want to get a Ferrari, You'd get it. You
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: get either a red one or an orange one. If
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you're done at Miami riding, riding down South Beach, right,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: riding down Ocean Avenue, or whatever you want to call it,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you'd want to you want an orange or a white,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you know, Ferrari.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: And to me, my.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Miammi is literally their football team is literally a orange Ferrari.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Drives good in the summer, drives good in the weather.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: But if you try to drive that in Buffalo, you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: would be s o l And that's how I look
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: at the Dolphins, to be honest with you, I look
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: at them like an actual Ferrari. They got the Cheetah.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Jalen Wattle, I think is Jaylen Wadle is one of
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the most underrated receivers I think in the league. And
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: then this kid, this kid a chain that came out
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of nowhere, you know, for them, mister ring Moster, you know,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they're a really good one two punch draft. Jalen Wright
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: seems like, you know, He's really somebody that you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the fantasy football people are freaking out over that he
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: could be a sleeper if somebody gets hurt. You know,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: he's got talent. But it all just comes back to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and I know that it's quarterback driven league. Yes,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: football is more than just one position, but when it
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: comes down to it, the division itself. Alan Rodgers, you
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: could rank him quarterback wise any which way, Allen's won.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Allen is always won, no matter how, no matter how
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: anyone wants to say he's overrated, great, great trash talker
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: he might be, He's always going to be number one
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: until somebody, you know, takes his spot. And for the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: struggles that you mentioned Ron that Allen has had against
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the Jets defense, he is really thrived against Miami's defense.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: And if Miami had a.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Defensive minded coach that could bring pressure, bring great coverage,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that would that would cause problems for us. But realistically,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I think Mike McDaniel is a good coach and I
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: think he's offering things to the game offensively that nobody
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: else is really doing outside of maybe San Francisco, who
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: he left. Yeah, so there's a lot of reason to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: look at that and say, as Mike McDaniel evolves, this
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: offense is only going to get better. He's still a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: very young coach age wise and experience wise. I look
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: at Miami as a team that has future promise, present
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and future promise that the Jets don't necessarily have it,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you know, quarterback and or coach. If the Jets implode
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: this year, it's gonna get blown up again.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I just don't do the things that that you know
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: they should do to be quite honest, then they will
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: be blown up. Whereas if Miami is a down year,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's got a lot of poll there. He's not
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. So I think Miami is a is a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: dangerous team September and October. If they get you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: six or seven wins in those two months, they're gonna
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: be dangerous. Even if you have some struggles in November December,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: they'll be good enough prior to that. Yeah, they can
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: kind of struggle in those late months.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: And be okay.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, DT. It was funny.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I listened to d g R today and then Marcelle
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Luis Jacques was like he was on w JAI and
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: he was like, listen, man, he's like, the first eleven games,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: He's like, are not hard. He's like, if you if
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: you think I'm lying, bring up the schedule. So I'm listening,
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I'll bring up the schedule. I'm like, holy shit, I'm like, yeah, yeah,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: he's like, we can go nine and two. He's like,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: and then build up that lead for that an eventual.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: That cold they just don't like. I mean, Tua, those guys,
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: that's the real thing. They don't like the cold, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: they're gonna have to deal with that again next this
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: year as well.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: DT.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you ever been to Miami, It's probably
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I'll be my favorite city in the country. To be honest,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to you know, I wouldn't want to
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: live down there by any means. But I share as
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: hell like going on vacation down there and wearing my
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: my satin button up shirts, smoking my Cuban cigars and
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, looking at looking at some other
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: things down drop.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is, you know, it's
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: it's a pop and city.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I wouldn't want to play in the cold either,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: if you're.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Down there in paradise for sure.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is you know, there
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: was a bunch of controversy this summer about Ryan Flores.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, granted, Brian Flores is not a head coach anymore,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: and who knows if he was a good coach at all,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: but Brian Flora is basically telling Tua he sucked. You know,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: that wasn't a franchise quarterback. And then it took forever
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: for them to actually pay to A. The owner was
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: doing shady ship to get Tom Brady there so they
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: didn't have to pay to A.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: They don't believe in this.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Guy, I mean Mike McDaniel, I guess is believing in him,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: if you will. But he's had generation of owner, generation
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: of old coach not thinking he's the guy. And that's
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: never been the case with one seven and Josh Allen.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: He's always been the guy, right, So I think that's
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the big difference. You know, they they have the weapons,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: they have the firepower, the gases in the Lamborghini, but
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: who knows, you know, is to A really driving this
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: car as fast as it can go? Is he hitting
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: he likes to just sit the gas and lay off
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: of it, or does he really know how to get
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: into the corners and and and put those time tracks
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: down where they need to be. And yeah, so I
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: just also the other end of that is Josh Allen
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: being ten and two against these cats. This has gotta
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: be the Tom Brady to the Bills, Josh Allen if
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: they want to have a good roster, if we can
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: just kind of hang our hat on, Josh Allen is
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: their dad and owns them. You know, that's gonna that
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: makes up for them, you know, being being good if
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: you will. So the cold weather thing, they almost took
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: us at home in the snow a couple of years
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: ago in that game we needed in a big game,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: really that indivisional thoughts. But you know then we come
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: back back down there last year and and and hold
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: true and win the game we really needed to in
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Week eighteen. But this week, this year, Week two, on
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the short week, I know MAFI is going down there
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: for that nice long weekend in South Beach. Baby, it's
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's always flooded with Mafi down there. Now you
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: get the nice four days, you get the now you
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: get the you know before it gets called up north.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get my last uh hit madee down there
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: on South Beach and ocean drive and and really get
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: after it. So I think it's gonna be electric in
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that Week two game, Josh allenbying ten and two and
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: the history of really nobody ever believing Intua until they
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: really till they had to sure that that discredits them.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Any any juice I could, I could get them against
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the Bills.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: I like both of y'all take so Miami because that's
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: I'm a I'm a nineties baby, you know eighty you
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: know I'm bought eighty five.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: I'm a nineties baby.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: That's who we hated with the Dolphins, like Damn Marino,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Brian Cox, like that's those are the motherfuckers that we
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: couldn't stay in like that, that's the rivalry. That's any
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: any Miami hate is cool with me. And I'm always
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: so I love making fun of them in the Winner
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that. DT's right, they did give us
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: a run for our money, and then you know that
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Skylar Thompson made it a tougher playoff game and stuff
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: like that, because that was just a weird day anyway.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, I agree, I think that the
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Bills win this division as we start to shift to
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: the other divisions. I do think that they come away
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: with it, you know, loose records fellas, I don't. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: don't really know. You know, we're not huge on predictions
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: here at nicol City Crew, but you know, I say
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: ten and seven. I think that for the Bills, there
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: could be a chance of maybe eleven and six has
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: to be it to get it done. But I think
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: ten and seven might be able to do it just
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: because of the fact that, you know, we might be
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: able to beat each other up. With the Jets being
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: better or supposedly supposed to be better, you might get
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: some cannibalization within the within the division where maybe Miami
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: beats them one week or something like that, or different
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: matchup the Jets win.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: So I think I think ten and seven can get
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: it done.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Maybe eleven and six is required, but I do see
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: that the Bills win in the East. You guys agree
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: the Bills. Bills should win this division, right, We still
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: think that they could win it, right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm heading the Seneca Niagara in about a week
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: to make to place that division that I feel I
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: just gotta wait.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I gotta wait for the line to get a little
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: bit better.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, you want a little bit sweet, a little bit
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: more too sweet. I love it, I love it, I
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: love it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Tonight's episode as always presented by twenty six Shirts here

  Speaker 4: Head on over to twenty six shirts dot com.

  Speaker 5: You can do a lot worse with your money than
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: going ahead and helping out people in need.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: And they really do have some really cool concepts. As
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: we transition, I.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Know DT's got a little bit more time, So while
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: I've got them, I want to run through these other divisions.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: You know, the Black and Blue division is still it's
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: it's to me, it's one of the most intriguing divisions
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: within the whole entire league, to be honest, and that's
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: because of I mean again, the quarterback. I mean it
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: is the quarterb You're right, Ryan, it's you know, there's
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: more than just the quarterback. But gods darn it. These
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks are important and this division, man, it's just got everything.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: A two time MVP in Baltimore. You got Joe Burrow
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: who changes his hair and now he's looking like eminem
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: and everybody loves him. But that risk injury, Like you
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: want to talk about injuries. They talking about Aaron Rodgers
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: and injuries like this is something to monitor. We don't
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: talk about it that much, but white Man, sometimes I'll
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: think about it. Then o't here like Stefanya Bell on
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: ESPN and she's like, just don't don't think that this
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: is no big deal, Like this is a real, real
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: injury that he's got out there. And then obviously the
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: you know the messuse, you know the massage lover, you
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: know Deshaun Watson. They just restructure his contract today. Oh
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: what are they free up thirty six million dollars. They've
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: got the most cap space in the league, got sixty
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: two million. Some people on grre speculating maybe that's for
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Brandon Ayuk. I don't really necessarily believe that. I just
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: think that there's this They keep kicking the money down
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: the camp because they they regret what they did with
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: this guy. And I mean, he's got a shoulder injury.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: He can't even go through practices sometimes, so it's weird.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: And then obviously Pittsburg's got a weird quarterback carousel. Mike
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Tomlin makes Russell Wilson the starter, even though Russell Wilson
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: barely played in camp, but they, I guess behind back channels.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: They promised them that he was going to be the
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: starter when they traded for him.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: And then Justin Fields more athletic, but Justin Field's always
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: sucking up and making mistakes. It's just this is a
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: crazy division and most of the defenses in that division,
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: obviously Cleveland leading the way they are, they will beat
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: you up on Sunday. This is a fascinating division. Fascinating DT.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I want you to go, man, because I know you've got.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: About you know it's the black and Blue. You said it,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I mean looking around. Kind of the scariest thing about
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: this division is that the Bengals finished last last year. Yeah,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: that's probably not going to happen again. And the Browns
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: going to the playoffs with Joe Flacco shows that their
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: roster was stout. The Ravens got better, and the Steelers
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Mike Thomlin's never had a losing record. So it's the
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: scary kind of rotation on this on this division front
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: in the NFC, in the AFC North. Excuse me, but yeah,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: the Bengals finishing last in that division is kind of stinks,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: right because you know that's not probably gonna so you
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: know who's replacing them down there? That maybe Pittsburgh, but
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: they're always they're always in it late, you know, the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Browns of showing the roster strong, and I mean the
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Ravens got better, the Ravens got better.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Well, some people think that the Ravens got worse Ryan because
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: of some of the some of the moves that they had.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: They lost some guys too.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: But you know, I'm one of your thoughts on that
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: division because I'm with DT like I am. I just
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: think that the quarterback play in that division and some
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: of those defenses are so stout where. I mean, some
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: people even think that Cincinnati is going to be back
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: on defense and they're gonna be playing well again. Like
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: there's just a it's just a division that I wouldn't
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: want to be a part of right now because of
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: the quarterback plays and some of those defenses. I would
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: I much rather have my cupcakes with the Patriots, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: and see if Aaron Rodgers can get healthy and stay healthy,
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: because this division they will. They'll beat you up, Bryan
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: every week. You better buckle your chin strap.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: The Battle of Lake Erie with the the I can't
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: even remember who it was. Was it like Kelly Holcombe
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and like a long time ago they call it the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Battle of Lake Erie?
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: And yeah, like the game is life.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That version of Kelly Holcombe is better than any version
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: of Deshaun Watson.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: That we've seen.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: With the Cleveland Browns, It's a mighty, mighty fall, the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: likes of which I can't remember seeing in recent memory.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: But Cleveland, to DT's point, is a very dangerous team
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: because they made the playoffs last year with Joe Flacco,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett generational talent. I'm you know, Bruce Smith Tutelage
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: might have might have helped him along the way. But
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I definitely think that the division runs through just the
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: simple fact that if Joe Burrow can finally stay healthy,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I think Cincinnati can take this division with actually with
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: relative ease. As crazy as it sounds, I mean, you
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: go back a couple of years ago, they were AFC champs.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: You know, they're in the Super Bowl, they beat the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, and I think that they're at a
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: point where they're just really crossing the fingers that Joe
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Burrow is the next John Alway or Brett fah not
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the next Andrew Luck, you know what I mean. It's
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: looking like he's more and Andrew Luck or Joe Cool.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Like you said, Joe Montana, that'd be the best case scenario.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: So it's very tough to kind of pinpoint where the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Ravens fit in this because for as great as Lamar
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Jackson can be, I think that there's an MVP one
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: too many trophy in his in his closet. I felt
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: like he shouldn't have won the MVP last year. That's
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: just my opinion. I just felt like, yeah, most overrated
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: right or up there right.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: I just don't see it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I don't see the reason that he won the m
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: v P. I haven't met a single person that thought
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: he should have won the m v P. So it's
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: just it's really hard for me to swallow that one
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: when I felt like Josh arguably should have gotten in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: his own right or McCaffrey. But you know, realistically, I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: think the division is Cincinnati and the Ravens. Pittsburgh is
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: going through a rough stretch right now, if they know
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: who they are and right so, I'm really thinking that
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the division will run through either Baltimore or Cincinnati. And
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and I think if Joe Burrow can can get back
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to being Joe Burrow of a couple of years ago,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be very tough for teams to stop that
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: that Burrow at his at his healthiest. Higgins, They.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: They gotta pay, they gotta they have.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I will say, you know a lot of
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: people are talking about, oh, Joe Mixon is gone, but
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: they got this kid, Chase Brown that I'm really high on.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: They also signed Zach Moss. I like that a little
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: bit of a little bit of brute in the run game,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: which is pretty rare these days.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: So, I'm thinking that Cincinnati would be my favorite. If
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: George stays healthy, since he's gonna take it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: Then there could be a different story in Baltimore. Okay,
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: what do you think DT with that division? Cleveland's got
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: the best defense. Okay, Okay, yeah.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I think Baltimore. I think Baltimore.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: All right, Well, we will save the a f C
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: South just in case DT has to duck out of here,
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: we don't need.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: To talk about that garbage ass division right off the bat.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: And we will we will, well, we'll save the good
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: stuff right now while DT is still here, before he
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: skates out of here.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: At the a f C.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: West Fellas, I mean, you know, is there is there
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: anybody that that that is has the kahunas just to
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: stand up to the bullie one time, just one day
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: walk into school and say, you know what, you know what, Pat,
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: you can't have my lunch money? Will anybody do it?
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: I know everybody went crazy, you know last Christmas win
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: what's called the Raiders meet him on Christmas Day and they're,
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, and look at Patton and then all
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: these son of bitches do they just go out and
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: go ahead and win another you know super Bowl.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: It's like, oh my, it's just it's nauseating. Now.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: I'm a Michigan fan, Ryan, and I love you know,
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Harball because I just think that he is He's the
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: perfect coach for a team. When if you need to
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: start believing differently about yourself, if you need to start
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: thinking that, you know what, I'm not a I'm not
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: a loser.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I'm a winner.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: That's the coach to have, because everywhere he goes he
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: changes program. Stanford, they weren't winners. They're an academic school.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: He takes them, turns them around. The fact that you know,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: he even did it at San Diego then he I mean,
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: he goes to Michigan, his alma mater. There's no more
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: pressure cooker in college football than the fact when home
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: hometown hero comes back to his hometown and it comes
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: back to all the modern he just he just whipped
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: him in the shape.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know about all the tieving you
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: sit like that.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, like I guess everybody in college football was
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: doing it, but I mean the college stallions and stuff
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: like that. I think that he is the ultimate motivator.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: You saw it in San Francisco. He it's not about
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: college or pro. You see those coaches sometimes dt that
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: they can't transition. They can't They might be a dictator
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: and they saving didn't work the same way in the
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: NFL that he does at Alabama, L s U. It's
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: just different hardball connects.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Man. Can he be the secret sauce that they need?
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: I know, the roster's not ready yet. DT.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Can somebody stand up to these guys, please, man give
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: him some losses.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, what the hell? You know, two years ago seven.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: When Russell Wilson came into Denver, Derek Carr got gott
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Varante Adams, you know, the Chargers at Herbert and Allen
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: and Austin Eckler and and Khalil Mack, you know, and
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: it was like, Okay, this this division is great. They're
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: gonna cannibalize each other. It's gonna be awesome. They're gonna
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: they're gonna beat each other up. And what happened They
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: all all blue and the Chiefs ran away with it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: And you know, and this year you kind of break
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: it down, like you said, yes, I think hardball in
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: the Chargers maybe in a couple of years or that team,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: but now right now, they gutted a team that was
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: kind of not that great anyway, completely gutted it out.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Herbert, Herbert's about it. And then you then you go
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: on the other side. The Raiders are kind of who knows,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know, if you know they watching the watching
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: the Receiver. You guys watch Receiver on Netflix this summer. Yeah,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: and that was a horrible look for the you know,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: like this place, this place blows man so and I
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: think they did, Yeah what did they do? They bring
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: in they bring in, they bring in Gardner Minshew to
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: fix that, you know. So like I don't think they're
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: and then there is some promise I think in Denver.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: But you know, uh, brand new rookie. I have watched,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously three thirties kind of a split household.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: We got Bronco Gang in here too, and so I've
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: watched these preseason games. Both looks good, but you know,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Botex he's like to take the lunch money he gets.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: He gets his ass in a swirlly real quick, you know. So, uh,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: two years ago we were pumped they're going to cannibalize themselves.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: And then now the division's gotten it seems there's future
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: in it, but it's gotten worse and the Chiefs are
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: still as strong as they ever have been, if not better.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: So I can't, I can't, I can't copy even as
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: a chance.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, Ryan d. Thanks, you know, whenever
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: you got a duck, we appreciate you tonight. And the
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: bull who do you got in the South just the
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: case because you won't you probably won't be here for
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: the South.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Who do you got in the South?
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: Because I take that I take that back anybody who's
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: listening with a C South. They have gotten better and
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: there's some quarterbacks to discussed, you know, I I guess
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: is really the question.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Houston is just I think Houston is.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: The most talented roster. I think the Colts are gonna
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: kind of show some stuff with If Anthony and Richardson
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: says healthy, obviously give me to the Jaguars because they
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: have the They have the the you know, they've been
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: there before, they've been to the playoffs. If one game's
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: down the stretch. They haven't been dominant by any means,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: but they have a decent roster. Trevor Lawrence just got paid.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Now he's got to go prove it. They have the
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: experience to get it done. I'm anti Texans this year
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: for a lot of reasons. Obviously the Biggs drama and C. J.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Stroud running his mouth like he's like he's Tom Brady
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: all off seasons, really pissing it off. So I'm I'm all.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I'm all on the Texans more out of spite. I
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: think the Jaguars have, you know, have the longevity and
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: the experience. You know, when push comes to shove, I
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: think maybe they slide it out.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, I appreciate it, you know, Ryan. I mean, it's funny.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: We'll go back to AFC West real quick, because I
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: wanted to get your thoughts on the on the bully
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: on the block. He's taking everybody's lunch money every year.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: Nobody wants to stand up to him, like nobody, and
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: I know talks a big game, and that's why I
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: call them posters, Like, you know, he talks a big game,
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: and I like, i'd like Anthony Pierce. I love players
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: coaches in general, you know. But you know, I see
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: some of the guys playing around with Kurtman, you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: in the off season, and they're putting fifteen thousand.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: I'm like, man, y'all be careful, y'all yet, like you
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: guys talking, what are you doing? Yeah?
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Like careful what you be? Careful what you say?
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, be careful. What do you think about that division?
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: Because it's an interesting one and I do have DT's right,
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: maybe not this year, but I do have high hopes
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: for the charges of the future.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Maybe not this.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Year, you know, I agree with kind of both of
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: your sentiments, Robbie, you mentioned Jim Harbaugh. I think that
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: he was over the moon for this opportunity, and maybe
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit of that had to do with some
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: of the stuff on the back end of Michigan. I'm
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: just saying to pull the pete, kind of pull the pete.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Carroll usc Okay, Seattle wats Man, I'm gone see you by,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: which is okay, I'm whatever.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: N L college football is changing, so I'm sure that.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all that is. I don't give rats about that.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: If he got some guys to come on a transfer,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: so whatever. You know, it was fun watching Michigan to
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: take names and kick some ass. Blake Corum, l a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Ram J J. McCarthy rest up, He'll well, you know,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I really like that team a lot. So Jim Harbaughs
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: is one of those coaches that I think anywhere he goes,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: he's got like the mightus touch, he turns it to gold.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: So I do think the Chargers will be very competitive
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: this year. It's gonna be a different Yes, it's gonna
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: be a different style of team. And that's the team
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: that gives the Chiefs problems. That's the team that can
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: then that can I think keep passing. I mean time
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: of possession is a stat that does not get talked
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: about nearly enough. If a team can run the ball
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: and be imposing on another team, then it keeps their
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: best players on offense off the field. Mahomes will be
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: chewing on his mouth piece, Kelsey will be listening to
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: some Taylor Swift and his AirPod and and you know
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be a nice, you know time to
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: be a Chargers fan. Whether it happens quite you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: in victory, I don't think so. I'm not gonna say
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: that the Chargers are going to be, you know, winning
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the division. I think that that's the team that I
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: look at though, and say they got the best shot now.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: The Raiders also made I think one of the best
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: free agent pickups that any team had made all offseason
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: with the signing of Christian Wilkins. I was really happy
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: that they were able to pluck him away from the
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. I think that's huge and with Max Crosby,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: they'll do some solid work there. But I just don't
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: know about the quarterback and realistically quarterback wise for the Chargers.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert was reported that he's got that plant our vests,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: which is the worst injury I have ever had. I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: didn't have many really, but that was the worst injury
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: that I ever had. I had concussions, I had shoulder
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: issues during wrestling season when I was a junior and
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: senior got the planter fesci Iti's in tenth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: lingered in college. It was it is horrible. I get
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: it sometimes if you want.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: To go God, Tim Duncan like, it's it's a big is.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: It's the only thing that made me roll on the
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: ground in pain.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: Really. Yeah, it's tough.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really bad.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: So when that came out, you know, it made me think, uh,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you know, this is a problem. You know, it feels
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: like you got you got a lit match to your foot.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Oh really, what it's like?
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah it's pretty painful.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: So you know, I didn't know you could put some
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: inserts in or something like that in the cleats and
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: and that's going to do the trick miss a couple
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: of weeks.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll tape it up and probably shoot them up. Yeah,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I mean that that's what That's what I did, which
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: is also awful. So yeah, I talked to Scott read
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: about it. I talked to Scott when that news broke.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: It was like, uh, what what type of injections is
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: he gonna get? I wanted some of that stuff, you know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: some of the NFL use, but I didn't get that.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: So he might be all right, he might be condoned
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: painkillers to all the high school kids out there.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my goodness.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: So you're but you are, you're in the camp that
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: this could be something to min it like I'm monitoring
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: Joe Burrow and this is something something.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: To monitor, something to monitor. I think, honestly, I think
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: just as much as Joe Burrow, I really do monitor that.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: I think that could be something that could creep back up.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: It's not something that just goes away. It takes it
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: takes time. It takes a lot of time to completely
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: go away. It takes time.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: So the lit match to his feet, Nicolas, hear that,
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: like that that's crazy? Okay, Well, I mean like in Denver, Denver,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: it seems like, you know, it just seems like Peyton's
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: just trying to get another breeze, you know, like this
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: guy bo Nix, I mean, he's got tons of experience,
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: doesn't have the strongest arm but you know what I mean,
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: he's efficient, he's accurate, he's smart, but it seems like
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: he's trying to recreate that New Orleans thing, don't you right?
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: And that's I mean, if it ain't broke, don't don't
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: change it. You know, inherited, He inherited Russell Wilson, who
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: was painfully, painfully obviously didn't want him, so as soon
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: as he could get him out, you know, no matter
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: what the cost, it was like, Okay, I want to
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: put my own fingerprints on this team. I'm a I'm
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl winning coach. I get an offensive pedigree
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: that dates back, you know, decades.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: He's a great coach, you know, and this is making
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: me look horrible, look bad.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: So time to move on and put my own stamp.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: And there's a new I mean, I've followed Denver, you know,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: just over the offseason because they went underwent so many changes.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: They're in the AFC and the you know, they're a
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: team that my grandfather on my dad's side, was a
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: huge fan of, so I always kind of keep my
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: eyes on him and Peyton Manning, you know, back end
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: of his career was there. It was awesome to watch,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: but I really believe in this Bonnicks kid.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: I think he's really especially I do.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I think that along with you know, quarterback wise, I
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: think Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, they got it.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: JJ.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Once he comes back, he's got it. But bonenex has
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: something about him that leadership wise, experience wise, He's been
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: in every situation, at least collegiately that the game can
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: throw at you. So I didn't see him as a
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: as a necessary reach as others did. So I'm as
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a guy that Sean Payton prioritized in getting it seemed
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: like that was his guy. Maybe even dating back a
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: year ago, he was thinking, I get Russ out of here,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: we go get the guy that I wanted out of
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: college that's not in this draft but next year's. And
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what he did.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Interesting, that's an interesting take.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: You know, I just see, you know, I hear about
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: his arm is not the most talented, different things like that,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: you know, but he but he's smart and he has
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: played a ton of college football. He's an older guy.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: I know, Auburn and then the Oregon so he's he's
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: he's seen his battles for sure. From the SEC out
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: out there in the PAC twelve at the time. So
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: it'll be interesting to see because you know, it was
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: definitely clear, like you said, that Peyton did not rustle
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: around anymore, tarnishing his reputation for sure, because he you know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Jeohm Payton's a great offensive coach, and I know you
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: know he's a little bit full of himself, but you
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: know he's got the Super Bowl ring to back it,
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: and and most people, most people do all all.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: Across the league. They vouched for the fact that you know,
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: he knows the shit.
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: So we'll see now as we transition and begin to
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: close tonight AFC South. I know I joked about it before,
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: but I mean it is. It is a division with
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks that are very intriguing, and I know DT gave
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: his thoughts on it before he bounced. I wanted to
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: get yours as well, Ryan, because when I look at
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: that vision, you know, the thing about it for me
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: is that sometimes the rise, sometimes the rise is better
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: when you know you get a chance to sneak up
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: on people.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: We saw that even with the bills.
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: You know, nobody really expected us, you know, when we
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: got Stefan Digs to rise the way that we did,
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: and we just boom, we're up there and we're you
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: know with the AOC and the NFL elite Houston last year,
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: you know, they had a great season and obviously it
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: was way over expectations that anybody really had for them.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: And nobody even saw CJ. Stroud coming in that respect.
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: Obviously the Panthers where I'm down in here in Charlotte
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: did either or they should have picked him.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: So that's always funny at the barber shop.
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: But to talk because the owner of the barber shops,
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: the Carolina Panthers fans, so always give him shit and
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: call I called him step.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Stool and he hates Daddy, can't stand that ship and
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: so you know what I mean. So it's funny.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: But you know, when you have that kind of rise
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: and then everybody starts to focus on you. What the
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: Bills did well when we were under the spotlight? Was
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: we played well? I mean that remember the one year
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: that we were the Super Bowl you know favors. We
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: go out to play the Super Bowl champs, the defending champs,
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: play the Rams and we smack them around, you know
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: what I mean? And how is Houston going to handle
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: the attention? Is really one of the things that I
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: look at because you got a young quarterback. You know,
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: Daniel Hunter just came over, and I know that he's
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: a veteran prejudices, but you got a young guy and
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: Will Anderson. You just got a bunch of young guys
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: that don't know much about much. And I understand that
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: sometimes the Navy, you know, the naivety that can be
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: to your advantage, but then other times it can it
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: could work to your detriment because of the fact that
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: they're just not ready and there's going to be a
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: lot more primetime games and a lot more eyeballs on
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: the Houston Texas.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: So that's the only trepidation I have.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: I look at Tennessee as you know, they're going to
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: try to find out who their quarterback is.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: That's how I feel about them.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: In the Indianapolis, the Colts, they're there, they just want
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: to get off the ground. You know, they had a
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: quarterback that they felt positive about and then the injury
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: derails that last year. I'm really interested in what you
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: think about it because DT likes Jacksonville and that's interesting.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: But Houston's got the defense, They've got a great coach.
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: I love Demigo Ryans. I just I don't know how
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: they're going to handle the pressure. And that's it's not
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: something just to sneeze that in my opinion.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: No, And there's two ways in the NFL the teams
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: react to pressure. Young teams react to pressure. They either
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: succumb to it early and their season is a fire
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: or the attitude or moxie or swagger or whatever drip
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: whatever word kids use these days that I don't know
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: that I shouldn't be saying because I don't really know
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: what they are. Justin's got that they have that they
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: have this refreshing, just kind of low style that made
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: c J. Stroud I think one of the best rookie
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks I have ever seen in my lifetime. There's nobody
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: that's had as good as rookie year in my lifetime.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Peyton Manning certainly didn't have that good of a rookie
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: year through for like thirty eight interceptions or whatever it
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: was nine.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: But c J.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Stroud is the real deal. But with that, you got
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: a whole year of teams, especially these teams in the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: AFC South, watching the games that c J. Stroud will
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: put together. They're game planning for that, they're trying to
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: find chinks in the armor. And I gotta say that
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I look at it from a balance standpoint. Sometimes firepower
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: isn't really gonna get it done. You know, it's not
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: a burnout, you know type league where we talked about Miami,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: and I look at Houston and Miami a lot, a
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: lot similarly. They'll win these shootouts, They'll go toe to
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: toe with you, Miami. That is, Houston will win these shootouts.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: They'll go toe to toe with you. But that nitty
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: gritty experience in the playoffs that like Buffalo has despite
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: coming up short, they do have that playoff experience. Cincinnati
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: they have, They've been to a super Bowl someplace that
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Buffalo hasn't been. With these with this group then k C.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I think that the pecking order, I mean, I put
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Houston in a higher light than Baltimore just in terms of,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: you know, the power of the hierarchy or power ranking
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: of the AFC. But if Houston gets hot early, that
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: could be their fall, Like that could be what makes
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: or breaks them. So if this season starts off through
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Houston's the toast of the town and they're like four
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: and oh five and oh six and oh, it could
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: be a situation where one loss to a KC to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: a Buffalo to a Cincinnati, we can see two completely
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: different seasons and that could be my prediction. Now, whether
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: that leads to Houston winning the division, I think Houston will,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: but it could be a situation where we could be
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: thinking Houston's gonna get the one seed, and then the
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: season ends and we're like, Houston's the five seed. What happens,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Like what happened to Philadelphia last year. You know, they're
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: so young and so energized that they might come out
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: of the gates, you know, on fire. That might be
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: the best in the NFL for a short while. But
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: if they don't keep it together, if they don't take
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: this week to week Dermots say that all the time
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: and we roll our eyes, but it's so true. It's
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: a week two week league and if we look ahead,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: if they're the Houston Texans and they look ahead too far,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: they're gonna regret it.
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: So that's interesting. I like the champs, but I like that.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Take that with a grand of salt.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: That's like the Olympics with a sprinter. He's not a sprinter,
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: a long distance runner. He's coming out a little bit
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: too hot, you know, in the beginning, trying to build
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: a big league and then by the end of it
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: he can't, he can't sustain it. That's interesting. I like
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: that take Ryan. He never get takes like that other
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: than Ryan Thomas. Our guests tonight from Thomas takes sports.
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: I really appreciate tonight because, you know, looking at the division,
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: like you said, you know, it's interesting, you know, and
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: and I gave my thoughts on it. I do think
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: that his Houston's got the chops to do it. I
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: will I will watch Jacksonville because I do respect Doug Peterson.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: I think that he was a good coach. I thought
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: he got a raw deal.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought he got a raw deal in Phelly
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: to be honest me personally, and you know, to be interesting,
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: like I said, Indian is just trying to figure out,
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: you know, can can this guy do it? And can
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: we get him off the ground and keep him healthy?
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: And he reminds me of Josh Allen a little bit,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: you know, but I haven't. I just four games is
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: not enough sample size for Anthony Richardson, So I don't
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: want to make those lofty comparisons. And then like I said, Tennessee,
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: you know with will Lebister trying to figure out that's
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: the guy.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: Now they tried to buy a defense.
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: They've got pieces now and they trade for lagerious need
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: and different things like that. We're gonna see what Callahan
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: can do on the offense with his dad running the
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: O Lion, and maybe that.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Can can trick some you know, trick some some wins
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So we'll see.
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: Man, I really enjoyed you tonight, Ryan, Man. I loved
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: your takes tonight. You're even spot on. I always enjoy
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: talking to you.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: Man. For sure, college football's back Nickel City Crew.
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: So we've got, man, what do we were like down
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: to what like thirteen or I'm not even thirty, like
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: eleven days or something like that. This is not much time.
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: September eighth is right around the corner. DT and I
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: will be back next week as well, and just we're
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: just gonna kick up our feet, relax, and we're gonna
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: talk about really what Ryan talked about the beginning of
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: the show.
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: Where's our fandom come from? What makes these this time
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: of year so special?
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: Because we've done everything we went over defense, it's Bobby's team.
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: Now it's Bobby's world. We went over offense, the offensive buffet,
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: we went over the schedule. We've done it all here
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: at Nichol City Crew, and we really appreciate you guys
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: joining us throughout the off season.
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: The off season is over. It's over.
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: It's time to start digging into the real meat. And
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: I can't personally, I can't wait Ryan Man sign us
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: off tonight.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: I really appreciate you joining this.
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: Man, give us your final thoughts, because you know it's
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: this is gonna be an interesting season, to say the least.
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: This is gonna be an interesting year.
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: And it's funny because I promised the guys at the
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: k Gun Report when they had me on the show
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: earlier in the off season, that I would enjoy this
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: season and then I wouldn't just be looking to the playoffs.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: Now that was before Diggs got.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: Traded, so so you know, I had to take a
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: pledge that I was gonna do it like, Okay, I'm
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: gonna really focus on enjoying the season and not to
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: go on, you know, not just jumping ahead till January.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: And then Digs got traded and that just you already
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: see me on Twitter. That threw my whole shit off.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna have no problem watching this team and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: enjoying the ride because I'm quite frankly, my expectations are
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: just a little bit more tempered.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: So because of that, I should be able to just watch.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: The games, enjoy them, and hopefully give them a better
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: product for Nickel City Crew because I can.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: I can be honest these last couple of years, I'm
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: just get me to January. Who are we playing? What
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: seed do we have?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: Can we get kidsas City on the road Like, I've
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: just been laser focused on the playoffs and I know
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: I can't do that.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: What are your final thoughts as we signed off tonight, Well, I.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Tell you what.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I have a few and I'll start off with this.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I know that your thought process is your thought process
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: is rather that you're gonna go into these games. Try
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: not to get your emotions too far into it, to
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: let this team kind of tug at your heartstrings. I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: hate to tell you, Rob, it's gonna happen.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: It's gonna happen.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: I do it.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: That's what justice.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Every single year I tell myself, I'm not gonna get
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: too torn up. I'm gonna just watch the game. This
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: team is my is my blood, like this team is
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: just every fiber of my being. I want to see
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: this team win a super Bowl more than anything you know,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: in my life, to be quite honest with you. So
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: as far as sports go, I mean, I've I've been
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: a fan of three teams my whole life. I've been
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: a a Buffalo Bills fan, Buffalo Sabers fan. My grandfather
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: was a diehard Boston Red Sox fan. Grew up watching
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Ted Williams loves the Red Sox, and I got to taste,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: you know, more World Series in my lifetime than he
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: did rooting for that team. You know, even in a short,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: you know, fourteen year span from four to eighteen, every
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: time the Red Sox won the series, I'd say to myself, God,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: if only the Buffalo build, what would this feel like?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: You would feel ten times twenty times better than even that. So,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: you know, as long as this journey is, this journey
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: is not over. We're in the in the middle point
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: We're starting Phase two career.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen Phase two seven years. This is the seventh
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: year we're in this. We're in like the sequel portion
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: of his of his career. There's two starts, you know,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm ready to see what I think is going
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: to be the biggest question for the Buffalo Bills this
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: year that dictates what happens with their season, which is
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: one the rise of Dalton Kinkaid is the next Travis.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: If he is the next Travis Kelcey and he puts
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: forth the season like that, then the Bills should have
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: a very good year as well. If Kean Coleman can
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: be what Josh Allen believes Kean Coleman can be, this team,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: this team, it's hard it is. This team could be
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: better potentially long term than what they were these last
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: few years. That's a hot take. Really think about it, really,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: if you really, you really think about it, If this
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: could be the and it's year one of Coleman, you
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: two of Kinkaid, I'd say it's almost your one. Of
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Kincaid and his own right of actually being the tight
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: end one. I think a lot of people looked at
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: him as like a gadget kind of mismatch. Didn't know
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: what we were going to get. Six weeks into the season,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a touchdown. So I tell you what,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: this year, six weeks into the season, he might have six, five,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: might of four. You know, it's a different year, it's
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: a very different making.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: He's got to be featured.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: So I think their success hinges offensively, especially on Coleman
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: and Kincaid. If they can be you know, big difference
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: makers for Josh Allen, then this team is going to
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: be very good because I like the players around those
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: two guys. I am a big Curtis Samuel guy. I've
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: watched him since college. I think that he is playing
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: with the best quarterback by far. Yeah. And there's another
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: guy that I got the chance to ask a question
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: to on One Bill's Live that was on one those
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: lave a couple of weeks ago. They do the ten
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: bit tweet sheet, Chris Brown. They picked my question, which
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: was awesome. Ray Davis. This is the name that I
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: love them. I think this is a name that is
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: going to be heard loudly really and people yes, and
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: people will really yes, and people will really come to think. Man,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about him almost every single week prior
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: to and after the draft. I was elated when I
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: saw the Buffalo picked him. I think he's just what
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: they need to compliment James Cook. I think he's a
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: perfect one two punch. So if if Bill's Mafia is
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: feeling like I don't know, I don't know, I think
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna be pleasantly surprised by by the three
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: names that I mentioned. I think Keon Kinkaid, Ray Davis.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: If those three guys can do what I think they can,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: this team's gonna be very fun. It's gonna look a
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: lot different, but it's gonna be very fun.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Look at that Listen to that Nichola City crew.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: Ryot's just he's trying to bring up the spirits because
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: everybody knows that DT's always the glass half full. I'm
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: always I'm trying to be a realist, so I don't
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: want to set myself up. I'm like, I don't want
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: to bring my expectations too high and be too disappointed. Now,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: but that was different when we had the team that
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: we had these last couple of years. I was off
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl and I just thought that some of the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: changes were just too much to overcome, so I I
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: lowered my expectations.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: But that's that's interesting.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: I don't like to put too much on Kean's plate
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: because it's a rookie, So I don't want to. I
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: don't want to get down that road too too much.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: But sure, Samuel Shaki is gonna have to play a
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: big role for sure. You know, it just seems like
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: everybody's got to step up that this everybody eats the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: thing is gonna work.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: Then everybody's gotta grab a fork and plate and go ahead.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: On is gonna have to grab a big wooden spoon,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: and Ray Davis is gonna just take the whole table,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I think. So it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be fun.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: I am really excited. I know that this team is
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: gonna look a lot different. What I mean by that
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: is how they're actually gonna attack the opposing defense and
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: move down the field. So I'm just really pumped. I
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: feel blessed for another season.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: Blessed.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen. There were a lot of years where I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: was walking to school reluctantly wearing a juke or reluctantly
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: wearing I was reluctantly wearing a Trent. I had a
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: lot of love for Trent, you know, back in the way.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: But you know, I just there's definitely Steve worst quarterbacks.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: Nobody like doctor days. Yeah, there's nobody like them for sure.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, so I'm really excited for another year or that.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: I think, Uh, you know, all the kids in Western
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: New York, they're they're ready to you know, pretend they're
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the front yard or backyard, and that's cool.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I really love that, and uh, it's it's a great,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: great time to be a Bills fan.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: Absolutely well.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: I really appreciate you tonight as always, you know, spread
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: love out there, not hate. These were my bills thoughts,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: set out loud. Hit them with a go bills, right,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: That's how we signed off. Hit them with a gold Bills.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: I love it. Love your stuff tonight, Go Bills. I
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: love it, I love it, I love it.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Just keep it simple.
