It's thirty eight. All bills can win. In here, Wake
2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.080
puts it down. The kick is on the way and
3
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.880
dock m the bell good one? How the hell that one.
4
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:11.560
Home?
5
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:12.880
How one?
6
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.359
They were a party one not party way?
7
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:16.839
Incredible?
8
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.839
Why not combat by my bell?
9
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.399
Jacksonville's perfect record on the line right here.
10
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:27.800
Quick.
11
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.480
Kicking, look excited.
12
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:54.640
Touchdown Kyle Williams touchdound amazing, unbelievable. They puttied william who's
13
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.520
has to full back and he scores a touchdown. It's
14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.719
wealthier to face tackle.
15
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.959
What's good? Folks, family, friends, loved ones, Enemies, Frontemies, Wizards

p r oh A n T. In this edition of
27
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.439
disguise coverage, where I've started kind of all over the place,
28
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.640
my mic was is over here, which is why it
29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.799
sounded far away to start the show. Buffalo Bill has
30
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.400
been eliminated from the playoffs after a loss that it
31
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.319
seems like they continue to have. They don't just lose,
32
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.680
They have art form type of losses, the type of
33
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.360
losses that names are given to and that are placed
34
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.719
on lists, and ones that seem to be burned and
35
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:32.960
seared into your brain forever. And following that loss in
36
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.360
Denver to the Broncos in overtime in the divisional round,
37
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.599
Buffalo Bill's head coach Sean McDermott was fired, Buffalo Bill's
38
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.000
GM Brandon Bean, was promoted, and suddenly this Bill's organization
39
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:50.000
team franchise has kind of been thrust or plunged into chaos,
40
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.199
and we're going to talk about that chaos, some of
41
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.599
that chaos tonight. We are going to lead off this
42
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.719
show talking about the firing of Sean McDermott, the promotion
43
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.759
of Bean. If you're watching the show live right now,
44
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.560
we're listening to it, you know, early Wednesday morning. Brandon
45
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.960
Bean and Terry Paguler schedule to have a press conference
46
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.439
Wednesday the twenty first at ten am, so we'll get
47
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.400
some more answers there. But we're going to dive into
48
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.759
just kind of the firing, you know McDermott, How deserved
49
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.520
was it, how not deserved was it, the way it
50
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.039
was handled, everything time to being the roster, the on
51
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.319
field stuff, all that. We're gonna have a discussion on that.
52
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.599
Put a bow on that. Part of the reason I
53
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.439
wanted to lead off with that in this episode is
54
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.439
because there's a lot of you in the comments and
55
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.120
chat are already kind of putting through. We like to
56
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.800
make the show very engaging, you know, the brand in general,
57
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.240
but especially on the show. I like to make it
58
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.000
as engaging as possible, and I know a lot of
59
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.439
you have thoughts, questions, comments concerned. So we'll lead off
60
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.520
with that, put a bow on it, put it to
61
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.199
rest as much as we can, even though it will
62
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.639
not be put to rest for likely a very long time.
63
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.840
And then after that, we're going to dive into several
64
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.719
head coaching candidates that appear to be on the Buffalo
65
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.840
Bill's radar that also I think would make sense that
66
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.199
I like pros cons ranking them, you know, what they
67
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.240
bring schematically, what they bring from a philosophical or from
68
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.599
an identity perspective, who they kind of are as people,
69
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.319
and some of their journeys and steps. So I think
70
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.159
I think this will be a fun episode, even though
71
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.439
it's painful because football is pain. Sports are pain is
72
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.720
the comment just came in now from fireplays on mc
73
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.959
top three head coach wish list. We're going to get
74
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.800
into that in this episode. I'm gonna be detailing several
75
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.360
guys that you know, are out there that I think
76
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.279
makes sense, that are potentially, you know, rumored to be
77
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.759
on the Bills radar. You know, after Sean mcdermnal was fired,
78
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.759
it was reported that the Bills were starting to put
79
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.079
together head coaching candidate lists yesterday. So it's it's just
80
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.480
a very interesting way that things are going about. But yeah,
81
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.160
we're gonna talk about the head coaching spot. To the
82
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.839
comment that just came in, Yes, we're going to talk
83
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.160
about for for a lot of these right head coach
84
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.120
that comes in, who would be the defensive coordinator, who
85
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.439
would kind of be the offensive coordinator? If it's a
86
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.720
defensive minded guy. Are they calling plays if it's an
87
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.839
offensive minded guy, or they calling the place so you
88
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.240
don't really need no CE or a DC depending on
89
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.040
what side of the ball they're on, all that kind
90
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.120
of stuff. So, yeah, we'll be diving into that for
91
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.199
a bunch of these candidates. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, anything
92
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:23.720
from anyone that you you know, have on your mind. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, beliefs, philosophies, ideologies, maxim's, theorems,
93
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.519
all that kind of stuff. We're gonna be diving into
94
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.399
a bunch of that to start the show and go
95
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.160
through and throw up the banner. Now, that says Sean
96
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.480
McDermott fired, Brandon being promoted. Also, I just saw as
97
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.199
we started, my wife texts me shout out to my wife,
98
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:40.920
and I saw somebody mentioned in the comments as well.
99
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:49.319
Mike McDaniel just got hired as the Chargers offensive coordinator,
100
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.800
which I think is a good hire for them. And
101
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.160
I'm trying to fe man somebody already updated is Wikipedia page.
102
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.839
That's crazy. Yeah, mccannall just got hired as the Charges
103
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.319
offensive coordinator. So if you were a Mike McDaniel truther, uh,
104
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.879
wanted him to come to the Bills as an offensive coordinator,
105
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.000
as I did, but I didn't think it was likely.
106
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.639
I actually thought he would kind of push for another
107
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.160
head coaching job, So it's interesting that he's going to
108
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.519
be in OC. I think he's gonna do really well
109
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.199
with Herbert. I think McDaniel's a good offensive mind, good
110
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.439
run game design, which makes sense why he would mesh
111
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.040
well with Harbaugh. He just kind of gets away from
112
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.959
the run too easily or often. But playing under Jim Harbaugh,
113
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.480
I don't think that's gonna be a worried because he's
114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.920
a guy who's gonna preach, you know, to kind of
115
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.879
pound the rock. But good run game design from Mike McDaniel, Shanahan, tree,
116
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.199
formational manipulation, personnel dictation, all that kind of stuff. I
117
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.160
think a lot of what his offense was in Miami
118
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.639
was tailored and fit for TUA in terms of, you know,
119
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.879
the first read aspect, the timing and the precision of
120
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.240
it in that way. But I think he's a good
121
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.680
offensive mind, really good at the details, good at coaching
122
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.759
up the wide receiver room again, just design, calling, layering.
123
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.519
I think he's a good mind. He's somebody that I
124
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.720
would have took here in Buffalo. If you know, I
125
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.839
wasn't expecting Sean mcdermoy to get fired. One of the
126
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.839
snares I kept preaching was if Joe Brady were to
127
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.759
take a job elsewhere, or if Joe Brady were to
128
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.000
be let go, I would welcome Mike McDaniel with open
129
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.560
arms as the Bills offensive coordinator. But alas another one
130
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.759
potential head coach, potential offensive coordinator off the board. If
131
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.800
you were a believer in Robert sala As, I am
132
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.639
a bit. He was hired late last night slash early
133
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.920
this morning to be the head coach for the Tennessee Titans.
134
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.560
So we'll kind of see what happens going down the road.
135
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.680
As again more names continue to fall off. Jeff Haffley,
136
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.040
Packers defensive coordinator, who I really like in terms of
137
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.680
how creative he is schematically. He was hired, I believe
138
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.680
officially or heavily reported as the Dolphins head coach yesterday,
139
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.120
So another name off the board. Guys are starting to
140
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.319
drop and fall a little bit. Will continue to see
141
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.800
what they say. Again. As Michael says in the chat here,
142
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.160
that's such a sharp hire for the Chargers. It really is.
143
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.759
I feel like Herbert hasn't gotten a lot of support
144
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.319
throughout his tenure with the Chargers, and just everything's been
145
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.920
going on, and now you go into next year with
146
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.079
in theory, a healthy offensive line, which when healthy is good.
147
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.399
You get Rashaun Slater back, you get Joe Alt back.
148
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.279
Those are huge steps forward kind of having two strong
149
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.839
bookends there, and now you have Mike mccannie'll call them
150
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.480
plays and designing your offense. Man. Yeah, I think that's
151
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:18.839
where that is a sharp hire. I think it's a
152
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.839
good move for the Chargers, who just seem they're they're
153
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.079
kind of been, like obviously a couple steps back from Bills,
154
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.160
or who knows, maybe not anymore. The Chargers always seem
155
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.439
to just kind of charger themselves every year. It feels
156
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.000
like there's hype that they don't really you know, the
157
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.200
brass ring, they don't grab the hunt. They never can
158
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.919
get over, but kind of to a lower level than
159
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.639
the Bills. So it's funny kind of just watching them
160
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.360
pitter patter and like sputter around a bit. But I
161
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.519
think they're a good squad. They got good dudes, they
162
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.679
got horses on the offensive side, they got some horses
163
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.240
on the defensive side. I am one of those people
164
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.639
who thinks Justin Herbert is sweet and yeah, now you
165
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.360
got a really good offensive mind in that building. We'll
166
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.480
see what happens with Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator on that
167
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.799
side of the We'll be talking about him in tonight's episode.
168
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.080
But if he were to stay, Wow McDaniel on one side,
169
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.279
mentioned on the other, really fun, fun and cool stuff.
170
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:11.879
I'm gonna go back to the comments at the beginning,
171
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.240
and as this banner is up here now, Saint Sean
172
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.360
McDermott fire, Brandon be promoted. How does everybody feel about this? Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns.
173
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.559
Do you think the firing was justified? Do you think
174
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.360
it was justified but they didn't go about it the
175
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.240
right way? How do you feel about Brandon Bean? How
176
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.279
do you feel about the roster? Do you think one
177
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.039
of these two guys deserves more blame for the bills
178
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.279
failures year after year than the other? And why whatever
179
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.440
you got put it up into the chat. As always,
180
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.639
super chats get priority, and yeah, we're gonna go through
181
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.679
as many things as we can in tonight's episode. I
182
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.120
know there's a lot of thoughts on everyone's minds, so
183
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.919
kind of dive into it. No, I'm want to go
184
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.720
back to the very beginning. Marty says, how much dumping
185
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.639
on beat is on the schedule for tonight because I'm
186
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.559
ready to listen to all of it? Fair RJ No
187
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.960
too far? Rj RG says, so are we the Cleveland
188
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.639
Rounds now? Because it feels like we're the Cleveland Browns. No,
189
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.799
the Bills aren't there yet, Damn. Marty said they have
190
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.480
a good defense though. Kay Morris says, who do I fire? Now?
191
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:17.960
I know, I know, I know, I know. Uh ah,
192
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.000
great comedy from Jason. On tonight's episode of Disguy's coverage,
193
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.960
we discussed which is better to be admired or to
194
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.480
be an admiral. I do want to touch on that briefly.
195
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.200
And you know, the Bills ended up posting I didn't
196
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.679
watch it yet. They had dropped a little bit ago
197
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.360
as I was kind of preparing for the episode and
198
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.360
finishing daytime stuff. But I saw that they gave like
199
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.120
a nice farewell from the Bill's Twitter account to Sean McDermott.
200
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.639
But you know, in kind of relation to Jason's sweet
201
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.120
there just the optics of the firing of Sean McDermott
202
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.759
were so bad, like the that letter that press release,
203
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.480
I should say, and it not being proof read and
204
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.559
them trying to say has done an admirable job, but
205
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:04.360
instead they said, admire the fact that that didn't get check.
206
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.120
And I understand that people kind of make error. Somebody
207
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.799
makes a typo and doesn't catch it, but did nobody
208
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.159
else proof read it? And no one else was able
209
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.759
to catch it, or did nobody care enough to proofread it,
210
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.519
and they were just like, yeah, whatever, that's fine. It
211
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.120
just I thought that really was such a good microcosm
212
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.480
of kind of the optics of the day yesterday for
213
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.879
the firing and for the Bills organization, where it was
214
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.519
just you know, the news was kind of shocking, but
215
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.879
the way it seemingly all went down, especially with that
216
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.000
press release. Yeah, just yeah. And for again, if you
217
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.399
don't know, the first line of the press release from
218
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.639
Terry Paguler from the Bills about you know, hey, Brandon
219
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.399
Bean is getting promoted, Sean McDermott is no longer with us.
220
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.200
The first line was, you know, Sean has done an
221
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.519
admirable or it meant to say Sean has done an
222
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.039
admirable job, but instead of admirable, they wrote admirble, not great.
223
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.960
Marty says, is everyone kind of in the fire. Both
224
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.159
of them came. So this was my thought, I and
225
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:01.639
I'm gonna leave with this. I'm gonna keep going back
226
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:02.799
to the comments. I kind of want to put it
227
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.679
out there rather than kind of beating around the bush
228
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.159
too much. I I think Sean McDermott is a fault
229
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.799
for a lot of things. Again, the idea for this
230
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.919
Bills team, right, was to win a Super Bowl. Year
231
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.639
after year They've been championship contenders. You want to win
232
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.919
your division, right, you want to get a high seed,
233
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.120
you want to make the playoffs with the goal of
234
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.480
winning a super Bowl or at least getting there. The
235
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.519
Bills did not. The Bills been to the AFC Championship
236
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.559
multiple times. They faltered multiple times this year. You know,
237
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.840
no Kansas City Chiefs, no Baltimore Ravens, no Joe Burrow,
238
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.559
even though really much of the Big Bad and the
239
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.639
AFC four you has been the Chiefs, And you know,
240
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.759
it was kind of like, okay, like can they do it?
241
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.679
If not? Now when it was being painted that way
242
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.840
by some of the fan base, but a lot of
243
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.879
that from the national media. However you slice it. The
244
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.120
Bills have failed to get over the hump. They failed
245
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:54.120
in the McDermott bean era, to accomplish the goals that
246
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.879
they set out and that the fan base came to expect,
247
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.559
which was win a Super Bowl or I think it
248
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.600
even some like just get like finally win the AFC,
249
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.320
get out of the AFC, and I think tied within that,
250
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.480
it wasn't just the you know, coming up short season
251
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.799
after season. It was the similar ways in which they
252
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.919
would come up short, where the defense just kind of
253
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.519
looks messy and ugly. Guys are banged up, the defensive
254
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.879
line looks toothless, like there's no pressure, there's no pass rush.
255
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.080
There's moments where it just seems like you're getting out coached,
256
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.480
you're getting taken advantage of the teams that you're playing
257
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.279
seem to have really good dudes on each side of
258
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.039
the ball, like all pro caliber guys and horses, and
259
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.720
you just kind of have Josh Allen and not much else.
260
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.879
It seems like year after year they were in the
261
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.120
same spot of how they would lose, the reasons for losing,
262
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.960
and kind of just not being able to get over
263
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.919
that hump right and within that. As I've said for
264
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.960
a couple of seasons, I was fine if Sean McDermott went.
265
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.120
I was fine if Sean McDermott state. I do not
266
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.279
think the grass is always greener On the other side,
267
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.440
I thought, if you fired Sean mcderm you could get
268
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.240
somebody who capitalizes on Josh Allen and builds the rest
269
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.120
of the roster, or does something great schematically and gets
270
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.799
you over the hump. Or you could plunge yourself into
271
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.000
horribly terrible depths and be worse than you've been for
272
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.919
the past couple of years. And I just thought it
273
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.519
was you know, there was an equal chance of having
274
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.600
both right, especially if you get a head coach that is,
275
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.399
you know, more of a coordinator and unproven. Even if
276
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.279
you get someone who is proven as a track record,
277
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.879
you still don't know what you're gonna get with them,
278
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.759
you know, in your building, with your team and these players,
279
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.519
so on and so forth. But you know, if you
280
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.279
wanted McDermot gone, I was fine with it. If you
281
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.159
wanted mcdermim to stay, I was fine with it. I
282
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.720
just didn't think the grass was always green on the
283
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.879
other side, and on the whole, I thought he was
284
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.799
a good coach and a guy running the ship, although
285
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.080
if you watch the show, you know I've had a
286
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.159
lot of issues with just kind of the schematic stuff
287
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.080
defensively in the playoffs, what they've been from a reactionary
288
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.720
standpoint versus a proactive play on the front foot type
289
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.200
of standpoint. And then my issues with the run defense
290
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.480
and how they built this roster on that side of
291
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:06.440
the ball kind of just behind the trends, behind the meta,
292
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.480
and how that's cost them and what that's done for
293
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.759
them from a negative standpoint. But for as much of
294
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.279
their you know, the failures and shortcomings for this team
295
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.600
fall on Sean McDermott, I think there's just as many
296
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:24.759
that fall on Brandon Bean. Brandon Bean's hands are bloody,
297
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.399
just like Sean McDermott's hands are bloody. Both of these
298
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.919
guys are extremely culpable. And my issue with how this
299
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.679
all went down was, you know, I thought, if you
300
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.240
fired Sean McDermott, okay, then you probably fire Bean clean
301
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.879
house all at once to kind of go from there.
302
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.919
And instead McDermott gets fired, Bean stays on, Bean gets
303
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.720
a promotion. Now you know, as a lot of people
304
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.720
have said and we alluded to on the Emergency Pod
305
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.600
yesterday here on Cover one, like we talked about, you know,
306
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.519
this could be being gets promoted to President Football Operations,
307
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.039
someone else takes over as the GM, right My issue
308
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.320
with that is still Bean is overseeing everything, and everything
309
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.440
is funneling into Bean, which is what will happen now
310
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.600
in that press release he got promoted to President of
311
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.600
Football Operations. He'll have oversight of the coaching staff and
312
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.840
the day to day so you know, a new GM
313
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.039
is going to report to him. The head coach and
314
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.120
the coaching staff will report to him like it all goes.
315
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.120
He's at the top of the pyramid, like Brandon Bean
316
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.919
is running the show right now. And my issue with
317
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.639
that is, again for the shortcomings of this team, I
318
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.000
thought Brandon Bean was very culpable and had a lot
319
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.120
of blood on his hands, just like Sean McDermott. Did.
320
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.279
You know more reports have come out in the past
321
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.320
couple of days of them, you know, each reporting to
322
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.519
Pagula and each having decision making power and so on
323
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.919
and so forth. But I kind of always just assumed that,
324
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.679
you know, I thought they were in lockstep for a
325
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.320
lot of years, we started to see some breadcrumbs a
326
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.519
little bit that showed that they might not be. But
327
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.320
when it came to building this team and building this
328
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.320
roster on the field stuff, Yes, Sean McDermott is coaching
329
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.519
this team, developing or not developing this team, schematically running
330
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.440
this team, making the in game decisions, all of that.
331
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.600
But when it came to building this team from an
332
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:08.559
identity standpoint, roster standpoint, philosophy standpoint, you got a bunch
333
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.440
of Bean and you got a bunch of McDermott, and
334
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.920
I thought they were just both culpable and each had
335
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.079
blood on their hands in the failures of this team,
336
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.119
and jettison ing Sean McDermott while leaving Brandon Bean to
337
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.079
me makes it appear like, no, no, no, McDermott was at
338
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.880
fault for everything. All the bad stuff was because of
339
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.720
McDermott being is fine, And who knows, Maybe that's what
340
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.400
it is. Maybe all the bad roster moves, all the
341
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.799
bad things that have plagued this team from a roster
342
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.400
construction standpoint, maybe they were all Sean McDermott. Maybe Bean's
343
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.039
hands are clean, They're not, But who knows. Maybe they are.
344
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.880
Maybe Bean has wanted to move in a different direction
345
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.480
schematically with the defense, but McDermott wanted to hold true
346
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.599
to what they've been and so that's why we saw
347
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.880
the players that were brought in for both of them
348
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.359
kind of in that regard or for the defense and
349
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.799
offensively all of that. You know, I just think it's
350
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.160
hard to parse who was responsible for what. There was
351
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.079
a lot of collaboration. I think there was a lot
352
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:08.240
of like mindedness between the two obviously that kind of
353
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.759
they each went their separate ways literally and figuravely as
354
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.240
the season kind of went on. But I think for again,
355
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.400
for as many shortcomings as Sean McDermott has had, and
356
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.079
he does have them, I'm not here to say Sean
357
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.519
McDermott was innocent and he shouldn't have gotten fired. But
358
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.000
I just think the optics of it are bad, especially
359
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.920
considering how much conversation was had this year, specifically on
360
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.440
the roster talent or not having talent, the receiver question,
361
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.680
how prickly Bean was, you know, on the radio when
362
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.559
it came to the receiver room, and then how much
363
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.680
of a receiver, how much of a problem the receiver
364
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.119
room kind of was as the season went on, and
365
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.240
how we just bristled at that notion and how that looked.
366
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.119
I just think the optics of it are all bad,
367
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.039
you know, and I do think there is something to
368
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:51.680
be said for you know, you know, if you want
369
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.279
to keep being on kind of like how they kept
370
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.400
way Leon when McDermott took over, you know, do you
371
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.960
want to keep somebody on to have that consistency. And
372
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.759
then I was like, Okay, maybe they'll let Bean go
373
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.079
after the draft, but no, he's getting a promotion, Sean
374
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.200
mcdermot's out. I just think the optics of it are bad.
375
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.759
From the outside they look bad. I think from within
376
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.279
the fan base they look bad, and national media wise
377
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.119
they look bad. It all just really kind of comes
378
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.920
out of comes out as you know, Brandon Bean having
379
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.839
Terry Pagoola's ear, whispering in that ear like the Lord
380
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.720
of the Rings meme for the dude who king I
381
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.039
should know this Faden, I think whatever, when he's essentially
382
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.079
kind of like a shell of himself and wormtung or
383
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.119
whatever is in his ear like whispering and like kind
384
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.880
of controlling him and doing all that stuff, it kind
385
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.720
of comes along almost gross like that, as if like
386
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.000
Bean is up in the box with Terry Pagoula during
387
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.000
a Bills game and something bad happens on the field
388
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.079
and Bean leans over and is like, you know, see,
389
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.200
that's that's why I didn't want that guy. Sean wanted
390
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.279
that guy. That guy that just dropped that pass. I
391
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.440
didn't want that guy. Sean wanted that guy. But I
392
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.880
was trying to be nice to Sean and kind of
393
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.039
give him what he wanted. And look at that guy
394
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.279
dropped that pass. That's that's a Sean McDermot guy. Somebody
395
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:02.680
missed the tackle, Being would and Terry would be like, oh,
396
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.559
how come that guy missed the tackle, and being Will
397
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:06.400
be like, that's good. That's a Sean McDermott guy. That's
398
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.359
why I didn't want that guy. I wanted somebody else,
399
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.720
but Sean wanted that guy. It just the optics of
400
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.400
it are just really ugly, really bad. And then you
401
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:18.279
pair that with the press release and more reports coming
402
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.160
from you know, the players being super shocked and not
403
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.839
liking how it went down, different reports coming from the
404
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.559
local media, and there's just optically it's just bad. It's ugly,
405
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.680
and I feel like Sean McDermott, you know, bears a
406
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.480
lot of the blame for this team not getting over
407
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.759
the hump, but I also feel like Brandon Bean does
408
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.119
as well, and that's my biggest thing with all of them.
409
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:43.359
My issue is necessarily Sean McDermott being fired. It's McDermott
410
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.200
being fired, being staying and being getting promoted because I
411
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.759
just felt like they were both you could say equal,
412
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.160
you could say one over the other, but they were
413
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.519
both extremely culpable when it came to this team's shortcomings.
414
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.200
Both had a lot of blood on their hands, and
415
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.839
it just optically, I just don't think this looks good
416
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.839
and I don't like it just with how it's kind
417
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.920
of playing out. And again, even if you know, Bean
418
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.960
is going to really be, you know, more of a
419
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.200
true president overseeing everything right, and there's gonna be a
420
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:16.200
new GM, whether it's Terrence Gray, Brian Gain, Internal, or
421
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.640
somebody else. But if it's internal, they're probably gonna share
422
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:21.640
a lot of Bean's vision. Bean is still going to
423
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.119
be in charge of everything. At the end of the day,
424
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.599
they're still reporting to Bean. So this team is really
425
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.599
gonna take on Brandon Bean's vision, and Brandon Bean's wants
426
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.920
and desires, and then a new head coach that comes
427
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.880
in is going to have to be in lockstep with
428
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.640
Bean and or is reporting to Bean. So, like, what
429
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.160
does that dynamic look like? Do coaches who are potentially
430
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.559
coming in and interviewing not like that dynamic? Do they
431
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.799
not want to report to Bean in that way? If
432
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.319
they have a different vision? You know, who knows? Maybe
433
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.480
you know, for as much as people like Clint Kubiak,
434
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.200
maybe he and Brandon Bean are just opposed in certain areas,
435
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.039
and so Clint Kubiak is like, no, thank you, Like
436
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:56.319
I'm gonna turn this down. I don't want to have
437
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.200
to report to that guy. Or I just don't think
438
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.559
we click and vibe and see things the same same light.
439
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.720
It just all kind of stacks and compels. And again,
440
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.480
time will tell for everything right, time will really tell
441
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.000
how much of the problem with Sean McDermott. How much
442
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.759
of the problem was Brandon Bean? Can a new coach
443
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:14.559
fix everything? Was it certain players that were the problem?
444
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.759
How much turnover will we see with this roster? How
445
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.359
much churn will there be? You know, do they start
446
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.000
to move in new directions? And even then you could
447
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.319
still play devil's advocate and be like, well, maybe Bean
448
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.279
is just doing this to placate the fans and make
449
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:29.359
it seem like this and that there's just at the
450
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.720
end of the day, it's just a lot of drama,
451
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.039
a lot of poor optics, a lot of messiness and
452
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.279
muddiness and murkiness, and a lot of things that I
453
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:40.039
don't think contribute positively to a team and an organization
454
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.119
that are trying to get to a Super Bowl. And again,
455
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.720
who knows, Time will tell. Maybe this will be better
456
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.759
for twenty twenty six, Maybe it'll be better in the
457
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.400
long run. Maybe this is the wound that had to
458
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.720
be cleaned out so this team could move forward. Time
459
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:58.640
will tell. It's just I just think Brandon Bean deserves
460
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.279
a good chunk of blamed, just like Sean McDermott deserves
461
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:05.759
a good chunk of blame. And and yeah, and just
462
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.000
the way it went down, how McDermot got fired, how
463
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.839
the organization responded, I just didn't like the optics of it.
464
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.000
As a like a person, I just think, again, whether
465
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.000
you wanted Sean McDermott fired or not, I don't think
466
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.039
a person should be treated that way or have such
467
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.000
a poor initial sendoff, especially one who has done so
468
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.319
much for this team. Again, the team didn't win the
469
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.200
Super Bowl, didn't accomplish what they wanted to. Sean McDermott
470
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.400
completely turned this team around, from a culture standpoint, from
471
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.839
an identity standpoint, from a free agent destination standpoint, to
472
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.279
a veteran trying to win a chip type of standpoint,
473
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.599
to rookies coming in and wanted to come to play
474
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.400
in Buffalo. He did a lot, and I think he
475
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.240
deserved a better send off. I think he deserved a
476
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.160
better way out, you know, from a large scale perspective
477
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:45.240
with all the just and then just from logistically how
478
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.440
this team was built. I think him being both had
479
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:53.279
bloody hands in this regard. But chiefs Den, let's go
480
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:55.079
forward and see a bunch of comments as we go through.
481
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.839
Gage says, I'm so ready for a schematic change on defense.
482
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.880
Me too, Me too. We have no capital in the
483
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.200
draft or cap, so I doubt it, but I'd love
484
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.119
a hybrid or three four scheme. Lord, please give me
485
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.079
bend on the edge. I feel like this comment was
486
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.519
written for me. I don't think there's any one right
487
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.119
way to build a defense. But regular listeners of the
488
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.240
show do know that, you know, Yeah, I'm more of
489
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.920
a three to four guy. I'm more of a hybrid
490
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.079
defense type of dude. I do like bend on the
491
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.599
edge and athleticism on the edge. And we'll see. I
492
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.279
think that's an interesting part with several of the head
493
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.480
coaching candidates we're gonna get into this episode with is
494
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.720
who they are schematically in philosophy and how that does
495
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.480
or doesn't jive with the current roster players they have
496
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:39.079
and what the bills have been in the past. And
497
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.799
I think that's an interesting kind of inflection point potentially.
498
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.200
But yeah, I wanted to skimatic change for years, and
499
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:48.240
we don't have a ton of capital or cap space.
500
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.400
We can make some cap space. There are guys who
501
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.279
can be cut, moved, extended, all those things. We'll get
502
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.079
into that throughout the off season here on the show.
503
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.519
But yeah, we'll kind of see, well kind of see
504
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.000
coming here from Forrest of Sleep saying I don't know
505
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.759
how Bean wins the room back. I think that's a
506
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.119
fair comment, especially with again how everything looks optically right now.
507
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:11.920
It just seems I mean, you've got people out there
508
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.079
putting memes of like Brandon Bean and it says like
509
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.079
snake behind him, Like, that's that's how it comes across
510
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.720
to the public at this point. And yeah, it's tough.
511
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.079
You know, perception is reality, and I feel that. I
512
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.519
think that's a very poigtant comment Marty saying, do we
513
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.279
know the players are mad versus upset? I think the
514
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:38.440
players are more shocked and or upset and how everything
515
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.680
went down with how McDermott was let go and the
516
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.440
process of like and how things kind of played out.
517
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.279
I don't know how you to find mad versus upset.
518
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:50.559
I think they are. I think they're I think they're
519
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.000
not pleased with how he was let go.
520
00:25:53.559 --> 00:26:00.160
I'll put it that way, Okay, Morris is I think
521
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.559
a lot of people are forgetting about a lot of
522
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:03.720
the good that being has done over his time the
523
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.599
last one to two years.
524
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.599
I've really heard his public image, but what preceded that
525
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.759
was really good. Yeah, I've never been you know, super
526
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.880
on that train. That Bean has done a horrible job.
527
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.720
He's had a bunch of misses, but everybody kind of
528
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.799
has a bunch of misses. I would have liked more
529
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.559
impact players on this roster at a certain point, but
530
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:22.759
I think he and Sean McDermott have done a really
531
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.920
good job creating a high floor type of team. Now
532
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.359
they necessarily haven't had the high ceiling guys, they haven't
533
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.279
had those A tier S tier type of guys. But
534
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:32.960
I think I've done a pretty good job putting together
535
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.680
a roster of B minus to be maybe some B
536
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.839
plus type of guys here and there. And my whole
537
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.079
thing again with isn't saying that Bean has done a
538
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:44.240
horrible job. I do think there have been a lot
539
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.759
of questionable moves by being just like I think there's
540
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:49.319
been a lot of questionable moves from McDermott. My whole
541
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.799
frustration with this situation was more of again, I think
542
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.880
they're equally culpable in the failures of this team, or
543
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.480
close to being not even if you don't think it's equal,
544
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.599
they're both significantly holpable when it comes to the failures
545
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.880
of this team or this team coming up short and
546
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.839
getting rid of one and not getting rid of the other.
547
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:10.160
To me just doesn't seem right considering again how culpable,
548
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:13.440
you know, how significantly culpable they each are. But yeah,
549
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:15.559
I think Bean has done some good, just like he's
550
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:17.720
done some bad, which is even can make that case
551
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.079
for a lot of GMS. Nobody has one hundred percent
552
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.720
hit rate anywhere for anything. R J saying tomorrow's presser
553
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.559
will be the most listened to presser in the history
554
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.440
of sports. Yeah, I'm already trying figure out my workday
555
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.720
and what I can do to kind of get on
556
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:33.359
some things. Uh By fireplays on MC. We were going
557
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:34.960
to talk about that my top three head coach which
558
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.599
list we're going to get into that. Don't do this,
559
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.440
Kate Morriy Kmorey says Belichick, Gruden and Tomlin, Right, just kidding, No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
560
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.400
Claus As, I spent all Sunday avoiding media. I've spent
561
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.680
a lot of time avoiding everything. I still haven't even
562
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.880
finished the tape. I haven't wanted to watch the tape.
563
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.079
I've just been going to bits and pieces here and
564
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:54.920
there in different moments. Yeah, I really haven't wanted to
565
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:57.000
do anything. I don't even want to watch the game Sunday.
566
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.400
Everything that's going on, it's just it all sucks. Question here,
567
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.279
is Josh required to do an end of season meeting
568
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:06.279
with the media. I don't know if required is the
569
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:10.599
right word or I can say required, but he usually
570
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.279
does something. He has been very quiet. We'll see. I
571
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.880
think at some point he needs to say something just
572
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.759
because of his status on the team and who he
573
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.359
is and what he is. Got our first Clint Kubiak
574
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:28.200
mentioned here. Jeffery says one Shanahan trade, two Bruce Arians
575
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:31.119
three Davis web Oh, Shannahan trade is interesting. Gage, just
576
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.920
give me Shula. We're gonna talk about Shula in this episode.
577
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:36.839
R J saying I think the correct move was either
578
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.759
fire Bean or fire Bean and McDermott this was the
579
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.559
worst option where the untalented snake is still here. It's
580
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.240
like we lost the culture and still have a bad GM.
581
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:56.799
By ba Fa fair point. I'm already saying Shanahan would
582
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:58.599
be interesting if he wouldn't probably require first. I would
583
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:00.720
take Kyle Shanahan and a heartbeat. I don't want to
584
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.039
have to give up picks for a coach, but I
585
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:08.680
really do value Kyle Shanahan a lot. By Eric saying
586
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:13.519
Clint with aident I always mispronounced dirt A's or Dird's
587
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:16.039
like last name. But yeah, So Clint Kootbiack essentially with
588
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:18.759
the Seahawks defensive coordinator and then saying Carl Scott or
589
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.680
Jim Schwartz is a name of people. A lot of
590
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.960
him bringing that up, his name up a lot, came Moore.
591
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.039
He's saying, Mike mcganil doing better with Herbert than two
592
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.599
would be a huge few to the Miami organization. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
593
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.279
Jason saying, wait until McDaniel finds out how slow Herbert's
594
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.400
feet and movements are. Yeah, but his eyes are fast,
595
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.880
his processing is fast, and he got a cannon cannon
596
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:45.119
cannon cannon, Bill saying everything is on Bean now. He
597
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:47.799
has no more scapegoats. His drafts and free agent signings
598
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:50.160
have been poor at best. He better hit on this
599
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:53.480
or the mafia is going to be out of their minds. Ye.
600
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.680
Fair point. Also, and again that's part of the optics too,
601
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:01.000
Like I feel like you put yourself more under the
602
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:03.960
microscope because I don't think this is a move that
603
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:05.480
And again I don't know how they thought it was
604
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:07.839
going to be perceived. But if they thought like, okay,
605
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.599
well let go Sean McDermott, and people think like, oh okay,
606
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:12.720
he must have been the problem. And if anything, it's
607
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.599
been like a complete one eighty, like you've almost galvanized
608
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.400
everybody behind McDermott because you fired McDermott and kept beat
609
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:24.960
Yeah Jose saying are we ever going to win a
610
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:26.599
Super Bowl? I need hope, but I just don't have
611
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:28.839
hope anymore. I don't know, man. I just want hope too.
612
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:31.279
I just want one before I die. That's it. Not
613
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:32.920
to get too dramatic or anything. I just want one
614
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.400
before I die. I want to share a Super Bowl
615
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.559
with the older adults in my family that I grew
616
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:42.759
up watching the Bills with as a little kid. You
617
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:44.720
never know life is again, not to get too deep
618
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.359
or anything, but life is so fleeting and you never
619
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.440
know what can happen with anyone, and not even the
620
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:52.240
older adults, like the people that my family and friends
621
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:54.799
and loved ones who are are Bills fans. I want
622
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.960
to share in that and experience that, and you never
623
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:03.359
know when your last on earth could be. And I
624
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.119
want the Bill. I want to Bill super Bowl so bad.
625
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.359
As a Bills fan, I'm a I'm a bigger football
626
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.759
fan than I am a Bills fan, and so I
627
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.079
can still find things to appreciate in the game even
628
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:15.759
when the Bills lose or when the Bills come up
629
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.119
short and I enjoy the free agent process and the
630
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.039
evaluation process of college football and all of that. But yeah,
631
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:24.200
I want to build Super Bowl so bad man, and
632
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.039
I don't know I did. This was another one The
633
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:29.880
Bill's lost again, not to get too off the rails,
634
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.119
the Bill's lost to Denver, and I just I just
635
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.000
kind of stared into the void, like just staring at
636
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.240
the wall. I like, I just felt so empty again
637
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:43.200
in a way that I had in a while. Thirteen
638
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.359
seconds kind of killed a lot of my fandom and
639
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.680
crushed my soul and spirit. This one also kind of
640
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.480
got me a bit, just all the turnovers, the way
641
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:57.680
it ended, you had just blah blah blah. Let's go through.
642
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:04.319
Are just saying that division of the AFC West is
643
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:06.279
going to be an absolute nightmare next year to face.
644
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.519
I bet we win against Las Vegas and that's it. Yeah,
645
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:10.799
watch but watch Las Vegas get like Sean McDermott and
646
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.240
Fernando Mendoza and then go on a run or something crazy.
647
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:21.519
Um bum bum bum. Michael saying this might ow another
648
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.359
Shannan comment. This might be wild, but what are the
649
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.480
chances Shanahan could be available with the Niners? They have
650
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.720
an aging roster one year left. His dad always got Lway,
651
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.359
his dad got elweyh his Kyle could get it. For Josh,
652
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:34.160
he would get the respect. I just don't think the
653
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.119
Niners are gonna part ways with Shanahan, especially with all
654
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.279
the injuries this team had this this past year and
655
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:41.400
they still managed to be a final four team into
656
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.599
the NFC. Yeah, I know it's tough. Joey saying that
657
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.519
Minter would be his top choice. We're going to talk
658
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.079
about mister Jesse Mincher. I always want to say Mike Mincher,
659
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.200
the former safety for the Panthers, but that is not right.
660
00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:58.720
Fair uh comment here from Wiley's saying, I don't think
661
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.079
we know enough just yet. As for the inside politics,
662
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:04.799
that's fair. There are a lot of inter Even with
663
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.240
things being reported, there's still a lot of inner workings
664
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.000
that we don't know, which will be interesting to kind
665
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.319
of see what happens with the presser tomorrow. Oh, Caleb
666
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.200
saying I really like Brian Flores. Would love him on
667
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.920
the cast, even if it's just a coordinator position. Man.
668
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.440
I love his attack style, defense and the quarters pressures
669
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.359
and everything he does. That would be kind of cool.
670
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:24.640
But I think he's I don't know. I feel like
671
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.279
people are wary of him because if I was ten
672
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.319
year ended in Miami and just everything that kind of
673
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:31.160
came about after it. But I said, maybe a month
674
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:32.759
or so ago, I would not be opposed to Flores.
675
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:34.599
I just don't think it's likely, but I would not
676
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.920
be opposed to Florus. Jeremy saying Bean saved his job
677
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:41.799
by getting rid of McDermott. Now Bean's head and ego
678
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.880
will only get bigger. Fair. Yeah, I do think he
679
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.359
kind of politiced a bit and was doing the whispering
680
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:48.759
in the ear to kind of buddy up to Peoogla
681
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.079
and kind of save himself, which is what it is.
682
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.799
Daniel sam Bean deserved more blame, especially this season, Bob
683
00:33:58.039 --> 00:33:59.920
more of the way it happened. I thought a chain
684
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.920
was needed, but the process left a lot to be
685
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.720
desired being being promoted just reeks. I think it's a
686
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.440
very succinct way to put it. Yeah, I'm not I'm
687
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.039
not completely upset that McDermott got fired. I'm more just
688
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:12.239
the way it went down and being staying and all
689
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.320
that kind of stuff. Oh hey, Ann, would we be
690
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.599
as mad as we are today about McDermott if he
691
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:23.840
was let go last year, I don't know. Again, I
692
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:26.320
think I think a lot of the feelings of people
693
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:29.400
being mad isn't really because of McDermott being let go.
694
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.800
It's how he was let go and being staying. I
695
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.480
think that's the big point. I don't think a lot
696
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.119
of people are up in arms like, oh McDermott was
697
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.599
an amazing coach. You know, maybe they are a little
698
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:43.599
bit because the emotion of how frustrated they are. But
699
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.559
I think it's more of how he was let go
700
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:48.039
and being staying and the optics of it all more
701
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:52.159
than anything. But that's a tough that's a really good
702
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:59.320
question though, that's a really good question. Com being common here,
703
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.519
I hated that being stays he gave mcdee a bucket
704
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:03.840
of rusty screws and striped nuts. Like, if we bring
705
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:05.480
in a good OC as a head coach, what will
706
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.960
we have to work with. I think Bean's ego is
707
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.719
an issue. I'm a Marty saying I don't mind that
708
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.320
people got fired. I just don't understand how being survived. Also,
709
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:18.880
their responses took too long.
710
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.280
Ooh.
711
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:22.119
Another comment here. I think it's a lot more likely
712
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.639
that the Bills do worse than McDermott than better, and
713
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:26.679
then a shoulder struggle momoji. Yeah, you never know what
714
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:28.119
you get on the other side, you get a new
715
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.039
head coach. Could be immensely better. You could be a
716
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.119
tiny bit better, you could be even, You could be worse,
717
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.400
you could be way worse. Never know. Life is like
718
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.639
a box of chocolate. Yeah. Comment from Forrest to sleep
719
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.559
the tribute seemed to daylight a dollar short. Yeah, Camp
720
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.679
saying the best guy on the market is McDermott, Just
721
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:50.559
go get him. Oh good line from Bob Bob saying
722
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.079
admirable is for a fifty to fifty coach, not a
723
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:58.679
coach who rebuilt the culture. Jason saying it's not a
724
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.679
championship roster like being I'm very concerned about being being
725
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:08.880
in charge of football operations. Ah, that's fair. Will saying
726
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:10.800
the interesting thing has been the silence on what Allan
727
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:13.360
thinks of this. No leaks of either he hated or
728
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:17.039
this is what he wanted, complete silence. I would imagine
729
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.920
they checked with him. I don't know. I don't try
730
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.760
to speculate too much on that kind of stuff, like
731
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.159
or kind of it. It's so muddy, but I would
732
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:30.280
imagine they checked with him. I would think maybe not,
733
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.880
I don't know. Com and saying listen to the fire
734
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.039
McDermott crowd and now completely melt down. It's funny to me.
735
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:40.880
Are j saying they should have came out today and
736
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:46.840
apologize for how it was all handled. They didn't do that. Yeah,
737
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.320
in this comment here, seriously so embarrassing. I'm just joining.
738
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.519
But the fact that they didn't post McDermott's no either.
739
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:51.840
Yeah.
740
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:56.079
The fact that I think Tom Pelsero posted it. That's
741
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:57.920
where I co tweeted it from. And yeah, I wasn't
742
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:07.039
on the bill's official page. Really unfortunate. Dan Jeremy saying
743
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.519
nine years and McDermott for that flaky letter with a
744
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:16.119
slap in the face. Uh yeah, comment here? Is it
745
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.400
not a little scary knowing who's guiding the ship as
746
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.079
the Patriots are Super Bowl bold? I don't even want
747
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:24.239
to open that door. But yeah, Claude saying mcdee was
748
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.920
consistently out coached, so he could have been fired at
749
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.719
any point after thirteen seconds. But if he's gone, Bean
750
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.599
should definitely be gone. He failed the cap, draft and
751
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:37.039
free agency. He failed Josh and McDermott very succinctly put.
752
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.679
I think that is a very fair comment and kind
753
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.079
of where my mind is at as well. Like McDermot
754
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:43.559
could have been gone at any point. I do think
755
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.639
he got out coached in a bunch of ways and
756
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.559
or didn't kind of mitigate things as much as he
757
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:51.159
could have as he could have at times. But yeah,
758
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.880
if he's gone, Bean should also be gone, and especially
759
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:55.760
this season, having this season to be the one where
760
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:57.480
I felt like they had a lot of injuries and
761
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.400
cobbled stuff together and be McDermott still made to do
762
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.559
some good things even though he still has bad things.
763
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:05.079
Like always again, it's it's such a messy ball. But
764
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:06.840
I think that's that's fair. It's a fair way to
765
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.880
kind of put it all. Charles saying, yeah, with being
766
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.000
getting promoted, does his name a GM. If so, Terrence
767
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:14.239
Gray had some overlap of Kubiak and Minnesota. Yeah, we
768
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.679
talked about that on the show yesterday. I do think
769
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:21.159
it's gonna end up being my thoughts being as president
770
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.960
of Football Operations. And then after after the draft it
771
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.760
becomes official where Terrence Gray or Brian Gain or somebody
772
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:30.239
is named the GM. But then again, like, are they
773
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.199
really the GM is more just a shadow position and
774
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.280
they're really just doing the bidding of Bean, and Bean
775
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:38.000
is still pulling the strings and running the show. That's
776
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:40.440
my bigger thing. Like if it's an internal hire, especially
777
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.639
one that was brought in by Bean and developed under
778
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.639
Bean and spent a lot of time with Bean, you're
779
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.480
it's still Braindon Bean one because he's still here. Two,
780
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:51.719
he's still the big boss who the GM is reporting.
781
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.599
Two Three it's still a guy from his tree. So
782
00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:58.000
it's still Braindon Bean. Even if they bring in another
783
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.239
GM and it's internal, Are they name a GM and
784
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:06.039
it's internal? To me, it's still braining be Daniel saying,
785
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:07.960
how do you put together the Bills week bottofy wide
786
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:09.559
receiver group but once again have a D line with
787
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:11.599
almost no pass rush and bad against the run and
788
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.239
get a promotion? Get a promotions at all caps no
789
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.480
offensive weapons, no defensive weapons and yeah, and then it
790
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:20.559
was funny too to see the report from Ian Rapaport
791
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.880
on NFL Network yesterday where he was talking about, you know, like,
792
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.039
oh McDermott, you know is done well, but it's time
793
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:30.000
for him to go. You know. He mentioned how the Bills.
794
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.400
This Bill's team with so many weapons, and how teams
795
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:34.760
around the league veiled that view them as being stocked
796
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:42.519
full of talent, and it was like, okay, yeah, okay, okay, what.
797
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:44.679
Let's go.
798
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.760
Oh nice, Bob says, the Savers are up four to
799
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.840
Oh that's very good to know. I'm recording that game,
800
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:52.719
so I'm excited to go and watch that. That's nice too.
801
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.199
They're gonna put up all the goals that they can
802
00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:00.239
uh engage, saying, God, please give me anutside linebacker get
803
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:03.599
to the QB in the playoffs. I am scrolling through
804
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:08.199
comments as we are going through, Well, I appreciate everyone.
805
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:09.920

willing and able, please and thank you drop alke on

00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:14.239
this video. Likes go a long way. But I'm also
808
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:16.159
kind of saying that as I scroll through and read,
809
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.599
because I'm looking it's really it's nine forty two real time.
810
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.559
I'm at nine to twenty in the comments, So it's awesome.
811
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:23.320
How many people we have in here, live over four
812
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.159
hundred people, that's super cool. And all the comments are
813
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.400
coming through, like I really wish I could just sit
814
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:32.719
and read every single one apologies if I don't. There's
815
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.840
so many comments. Everybody's crushing it tonight. I appreciate everyone.
816
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:40.400
Ah William coming through worm worm tongue and theadan. Oh okay,
817
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:43.400
I was right, thedan, okay, cool king theadan, yep, all
818
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.039
right cool. I was there and it was warm toung
819
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.079
alright cool. But yeah, now I'm at nine twenty two
820
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:49.320
in the comments, so I'm trying. There's a lot of comments.
821
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.320
You guys are absolutely crushing it. Guys and girls, whoever's there,
822
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:58.840
in all fairness of this one, so this comment Von
823
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:00.719
Miller was the death blow. He was supposed to get
824
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:03.280
us over the thirteen second hump, and all fairness with that,
825
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.119
I think von Miller did deliver. He just tore his
826
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:08.519
acl like. I thought that was a good signing. He
827
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.320
was every bit the closer he was supposed to be.
828
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:14.519
He just got hurt, which is unfortunate. Yeah, comment here,
829
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.920
are you superstitious about predicting a head coach like giving
830
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:18.800
a score prediction? Do you think not getting over the
831
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.519
hump is fifty to fifty McBean or one is more
832
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.159
to blame? I am superstitious about predicting a head coach
833
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:27.800
like a score prediction. Thank you very much for knowing me. Do.
834
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:29.719
I think not getting over the hump is fifty to
835
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:33.480
fifty for me. It's tough because I don't know how
836
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:37.760
much of the roster construction and roster building was Bean
837
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:41.440
or McDermott or both in conjunction with one another, Like
838
00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:45.000
I don't know how much ko Key on Coleman, for example,
839
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:47.480
did both of them think that was a great pick?
840
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.960
Or did Bean think it was great? Or did McDermott
841
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.400
think it was great? Like which moves did each one
842
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:54.920
pound the table? For which moves? Did they both pound
843
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:59.519
the table? For? You know, how much was McDermott involved
844
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:03.400
in any kind of extension moves or free agent dollars
845
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:05.360
and cap structure? You would think that most of that
846
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.199
is all being how much did they really talk? Obviously
847
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:11.679
there's obviously there's overlap. Obviously there's collaboration, And that's my
848
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:13.960
whole thing. Like it's so muddy. Both of their hands
849
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:18.480
are bloody, they're both culpable. I think not getting over
850
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:20.719
the hump for me, just because I have questions about
851
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.800
the roster and the on field stuff both. I think
852
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.000
it's fifty to fifty just based off of what. I
853
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:30.199
believe their roles and relationship to be equally having successes,
854
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:33.480
equally having failures shortcomings. I think maybe you could push
855
00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:35.519
into fifty five forty five one way or the other,
856
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.679
and I wouldn't fight you. You can Devil's advocate that
857
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:40.519
a good chunk. But I think it's pretty close to
858
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.400
fifty to fifty, which again is where a lot of
859
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:45.239
my frustration comes from, because I even if it's fifty
860
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:48.239
five to forty five, that's still pretty close. Even if
861
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:50.320
it's sixty forty again, and I don't think I don't
862
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.840
think it goes past sixty forty, Like that's at the
863
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.159
highest whether you think it's sixty forty McDermott or sixty
864
00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.960
forty bean, that's at the high end of it. For me.
865
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:05.280
I just think they're that culpable kind of equally mhmm
866
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.079
b b ba yep. VN was doing awesome until he
867
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:10.639
got hurt.
868
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:22.920
Bye ba ba Yeah, okay, okay, okay, wow man, you guys.
869
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:27.360
Everybody's crushing it all right, So I'm going to scrolling through.
870
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.639
Scrolling through, I just saw this comment in all caps.
871
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.559
I didn't know you can trade pricks for a head coach.
872
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:37.920
Ah will with cool comment Shula siel Ha house package
873
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.840
deal my mind. We're going to talk about that. We
874
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.800
are going to talk about that, all right. I'm gonna
875
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.159
start to move into some of these head coaching candidates.
876
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:53.440
If there's something I did not get to, I am now, wow,
877
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.400
you have no idea how much I've just been scrolling, scrolling,
878
00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.559
scrolling to finally get to kind of where we are. Oh,
879
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:00.239
in fair common here from James. It just came. It'll
880
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.199
be interesting to see who replaces Aaron Kromer. I keep
881
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:04.920
forgetting Aaron Kromer retired and he's been a huge part
882
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.559
of success for this team. Things are kind of just
883
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:13.239
falling all over. Uh. Yeah. If there's something I did
884
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:15.400
not get to that you commented, feel free to put
885
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:16.920
it up into the chat again. I'll see it as
886
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.920
I can get to kind of go from there. If
887
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:21.920
there's something you really want to get at me, get
888
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.280
at me on Twitter at pro underscore underscore an, get
889
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.159
at me on Blue Sky at pro ant no one
890
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:28.280
to scores there, just pro o A and T tweet
891
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.800
at me, blue Sky, post at me, dm me whatever.
892
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:33.719
Get at me in the discord if you're a Discord member,
893
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.000
If you're one of the insiders for the cover one stuff.
894
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:41.119
If you again, there were so many comments if I
895
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:43.280
feel terrible, but if I went through every single comment,
896
00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:45.400
we're going to be here until like one am, which
897
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:48.480
we kind of could do. But yeah, and again I
898
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:50.519
appreciate everybody coming in. These comments have been awesome. I
899
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.360
just want to sit. Honestly, I shouldn't have even prepared
900
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:53.760
a head coach. Think we should have just had a
901
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:57.480
whole live chat session on the McDermott firing and being
902
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:01.559
promotion and gone from there. I like that there was
903
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:06.039
a comment I wanted to get to from Forrest's Lee,
904
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.599
what do you think of the medical reports and how
905
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.519
that was handled. I did think this was interesting. I
906
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:14.199
think McDermott said all that stuff funneled into Bean, which
907
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:16.599
was why when he was asked about injury stuff, he
908
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:18.239
was kind of just being like, oh, what I'm told
909
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:20.719
or what I think, Like he didn't really know. I
910
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.440
think that's terrible, Like he should have an equal hand
911
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:25.559
in that he should know the injury status and injury
912
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:28.639
report status for his players and for his team. Again,
913
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:35.480
just messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy.
914
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.519
Thank you very much, Brian for being here and for
915
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:41.760
your super chat. I'm assuming you or maybe you just
916
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:43.480
wanted to give out of the kindness of your heart,
917
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:45.159
but maybe you had a question or a thought that
918
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.400
went with a super chat. If you did, you don't
919
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.440
have to give another super chat. Just put your next
920
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:52.159
comment into the chat and I'll read it because I'll
921
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:53.480
assume that that was the one that was supposed to
922
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:54.719
come with the super chat. Or if you just wanted
923
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:56.320
to give a super chat, I'll take it and I
924
00:45:56.360 --> 00:46:00.800
appreciate it. Thank you very much. This is a good comment.
925
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:03.000
Jose Do you think Josh Allen has so much scar
926
00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.679
tissue when it comes to gut wrenching losses that it's
927
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.760
going to affect him heavily the rest of his career
928
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.519
in the playoffs? Yes, I think there's something to be
929
00:46:11.599 --> 00:46:16.599
said for not even just Alan in general. I think
930
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:19.000
there's something to be said for building scar tissue and
931
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.400
having wounds, and you know, building calluses all these kind
932
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.000
of proverbials and how it toughens you and hardens you
933
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:27.239
and gets you experience and all that kind of stuff. Right,
934
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:32.599
I do think there's a certain point where it jumps
935
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:36.719
the shark a bit, and then it becomes more of
936
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:39.119
a hindrance than it does, like a character building type
937
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:41.480
of moment. I don't know what that is for everybody.
938
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:44.519
It's different for everybody, for teams, for individuals, all that
939
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.239
kind of stuff. Oh, thank you, Brian, I appreciate it.
940
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:49.719
Brian said, not just a tip, just a tip, nothing
941
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:51.480
at a smiley face. I appreciate you, Brian. I think
942
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:55.440
you're very much. Yeah. I think at a certain point,
943
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:58.039
all that scar tissue and all that losing, you know,
944
00:46:58.079 --> 00:46:59.639
I think it gets to a point where it's like
945
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:03.400
character Bill's character, Bill's character, Bill's character, and then you
946
00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:05.519
start to go down the roller coaster as opposed to
947
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.920
keep going up and ascending. At a certain point, it
948
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.159
breaks you, I think, you know, to someone else's point though,
949
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:16.039
who came in and said it. You know Lway, you
950
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:18.599
know this comment from from Steve Elway lost multiple super
951
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:21.840
Bowls and got through it. Steve Young, you know, had
952
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:23.960
a bunch of challenges. You know, takes over from Montana.
953
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.519
He has the famous you know, wins the super Bowl
954
00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:28.159
and then he's like, you know, take this monkey off
955
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.119
my back. You know, he was feeling so much pressure
956
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:33.639
for that franchise, So there there is ways to get
957
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.000
it done right eventually. But I also think too, just
958
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.119
in general, like it's so hard to win a championship
959
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:40.920
in any sport, Like you have to be good and
960
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:42.440
you have to have luck on your side, like the
961
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:44.679
stars really do have to align for any team to
962
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:48.400
win a Super Bowl, in a championship in any sport,
963
00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:50.480
and even get even with this Bills team not to
964
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.840
kind of get to you know, focus in or hone
965
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.519
in on the Broncos game. Five turnovers right, some poor
966
00:47:56.599 --> 00:48:01.159
throws and decisions from Allen, right, you know, giveaways that
967
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.559
get led directly to points for the Broncos, missed opportunities
968
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.400
and capitalizations, multiple you know, muddy calls from the raft,
969
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:10.920
and they still lost by three in overtime, even with
970
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:14.239
all these things going wrong, even with the roster not
971
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:16.599
having a bunch of studs or dudes on it, even
972
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:20.480
with all the injuries and all the poor performances in games,
973
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:23.719
and as limited as McDermot or Bean might be or
974
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:27.840
Babbitte or Brady or whoever, they barely lost in this game.
975
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:29.840
And I know this isn't like you know, close only
976
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.239
counts and horseshes and grenades. I know that this isn't
977
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:34.800
a silver lining type of deal, but think about how
978
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.280
all these things went wrong or not even put in
979
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.480
an air quotes did go wrong, and they just barely
980
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.440
lost like they could easily be in the AFC Championship
981
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.280
this week, which is what makes this loss even more
982
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.480
painful and more hurtful. You never know, just takes a
983
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.039
couple of bounces going your way. But I do think
984
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:53.880
the good teams figure out the way to make the
985
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.199
ball bounce in their favor more often than not. But yeah,
986
00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.960
that Allen piece, who knows. Maybe it scars him too much.
987
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.119
Maybe it's some of the sticks in his head and
988
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:02.760
every time he gets into the playoffs, it's in the
989
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:04.760
back of his mind and he presses a little too much.
990
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:05.360
You know.
991
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:09.880
Well we'll kind of see a little bit. But uh yeah,
992
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.760
I do think. I do think it's something that eventually
993
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.599
you have so much scar tissue. Eventually you jump the
994
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:16.440
shark and you start to you start to go downhill
995
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.760
for it, and it's it's instead of old building, character building,
996
00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:22.159
character building character eventually it kind of guts you. I
997
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:24.000
just think that's just human nature. It's got to it's
998
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:27.760
hard to just constantly get kicked in the teeth over
999
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:32.280
and over again and keep coming back for more. It's tough,
1000
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.239
very tough. All right. Now, we're gonna dive into some
1001
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:43.280
head coach candidate stuff. I wanted to as I say this,
1002
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.159
Oh I forget there was a you know, if somebody
1003
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:50.599
in the chant wants to do me a huge solid.
1004
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.159
There was multiple people will put out like tweets of
1005
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.679
like the Bills head coaching odds. Not that that necessarily
1006
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:58.119
matters like completely, you know, because the betting sites are
1007
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.639
betting sites and individual people or individual people like whatever.
1008
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:03.519
But there's some interesting names on those lists. I was
1009
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.000
gonna reference it a little bit, but the first name
1010
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.840
we're going to start with here, it's Seattle Seahawks offensive
1011
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:14.000
coordinator Clint Kubiak. Jeremy White of w g R tweeted
1012
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.760
yesterday something to the tune of, you know a little
1013
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:19.400
birdie who you know, the same little birdie who told
1014
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.880
him Sean McDermott was gonna get fired. That same little
1015
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.280
birdie told him like that move was made with Clint
1016
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.880
Kubiak in mind. So Clint Kubiak, that's the one who
1017
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:30.119
are gonna lead off with someone who I like. I
1018
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:34.280
mentioned him early in the season, maybe like octoberish in
1019
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:37.239
terms of what I like they were doing. And I
1020
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.519
like this comment here from any Trail boss saying my
1021
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:43.559
favorite was solid, but that's not happening. I also I
1022
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:46.360
also liked Robert Sala. I think he got a raw
1023
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.079
deal in New York. I think he's a good defensive mind.
1024
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:51.960
I think he's able to kind of, you know, mold
1025
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.599
with his players and what's available. But he's gone. So yeah,
1026
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:02.719
Clint Kubiak, offensive coordinat Seattle Seahawks, somebody who has been
1027
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.000
you know, the odds are in his favor from the
1028
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.239
betting sites of being the next potential Bills head coach.
1029
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:08.719
I think it's multiple sites with him as like the
1030
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:10.719
best betting odds. Again, I'm not putting that out there
1031
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:12.039
as like, so that's why I think he's gonna be
1032
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:13.840
the coach. I just think that's interesting. But yeah, that
1033
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.480
Jeremy White note I think was really really really interesting
1034
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:19.719
for those who don't know, kind of go to his
1035
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:22.880
last stops. Twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, he was the
1036
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.840
Vikings QB coach. He was the Vikings offensive coordinator in
1037
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:28.800
twenty twenty one. He was then the pass game coordinator
1038
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:31.239
and quarterbacks coach for the Broncos in twenty twenty two,
1039
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.280
the Niners passing game coordinator in twenty twenty three, the
1040
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.880
Saints offensive coordinator in twenty twenty four, and then the
1041
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:43.840
Seattle Seahawks coordinator here this year in twenty twenty five.
1042
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:48.960
I've watched a ton of Seahawks tape this year, offensively
1043
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.199
and defensively, because I like what they do offensively and
1044
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.599
I like what they do defensively. Plus I like a
1045
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:56.119
lot of dudes that they have. I love Kenneth Walker
1046
00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:59.360
coming out of the draft. JSN obviously is a monster,
1047
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:01.199
but Zach Sharp, he's a cool running back. Sucks that
1048
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:02.880
he tore his a cl but they got some cool
1049
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:06.800
offensive linemen and then defensively, just a bunch of dudes
1050
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:09.320
in a really cool scheme. So I watched a bunch
1051
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:15.960
of Seahawks tape this year and kind of in in October,
1052
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:17.880
like it was kind of floated. Something on the show
1053
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:19.000
was like, Oh, you know, who's the name that you
1054
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:20.920
would you know, look out for if Sean mcdermock got fired,
1055
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:22.159
if you had to pick an offensive guy. I was like, oh,
1056
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.880
Klink Kumbyak would be kind of cool, young up and
1057
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.280
coming offensive mine talk about some pros and cons for him.
1058
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.480
So pros he comes from that Shanahan offense. I think
1059
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:35.280
that's a pro because of how successful it is, how
1060
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:38.880
CB friendly it is, and again very much in that
1061
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:42.159
Shanahan mold, which honestly is tied to his dad, Gary
1062
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:46.480
Kubiak working with you know, Shanahan's dad, Mike Shanahan, and
1063
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:48.199
how they were on lockstep with everything. So it was
1064
00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:51.800
kind of you know, chicken and egg thing. But Clint Kubiak,
1065
00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:57.159
you know Shanahan offense formational and personnel manipulation and dictating
1066
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:00.239
to a defense. So you are using condensed formations, You're
1067
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:03.039
using tight ends, full backs, all that kind of stuff
1068
00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:06.039
to kind of force defenses into looks that you want
1069
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:09.400
and then using whatever they do against them. If they
1070
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:11.599
don't match the heavies, you're running it down their throat.
1071
00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:13.840
If they do match the heavies, your heavies are still
1072
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:17.559
a bit athletic, and so you could use that to
1073
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:20.599
generate some explosives. Jason says, with the Kubiak scheme be
1074
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:23.599
good for James Cook. I do think, so, you know,
1075
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:27.719
Kubiak Shanahan all that type of deal outside zone. You know,
1076
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.559
tack ties back to the Alex Gibbs Mike Shanahan days.
1077
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:33.480
Everything is outside zone. A lot of zone running that
1078
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:36.679
pairs well with the bootlegs and the play action. I
1079
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.960
think Kubiak also does a really good job of marrying
1080
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:42.039
the run in the past, as most Shanahan you know
1081
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:47.559
disciples do. But yeah, James Cook at Georgia was great
1082
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:50.679
as a zone runner and that's really what he was
1083
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:54.320
coming coming out and coming into Buffalo, him progressing as
1084
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:56.800
a gap scheme runner. So all the you know, the
1085
00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:59.639
blast counter stuff this year or the tackle poll stuff
1086
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:04.480
that is, you know, whether it's you know tackle you know,
1087
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:06.760
wrapping through or it's the long trap type of stuff
1088
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.199
where they're kicking out the edge. That's a gap scheme run. Technically,
1089
00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:12.159
Duo is a gap scheme run. It's power without a puller,
1090
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:14.079
but it kind of has some zone principles to it
1091
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.559
from a track perspective. But yeah, I think James Cook
1092
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:18.719
would excel in his zone scheme. You know, think of
1093
00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:21.960
all those mid zone runs, you know, mid zone week
1094
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:24.920
where you know there's like three guys over here to
1095
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:26.519
the right side of the line and they run to
1096
00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:28.440
the left and Cook bends it back. You know, whether
1097
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:30.119
it's a one cut or a two cut, he cuts
1098
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:33.719
it all the way back and bends it. Yeah, I
1099
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:36.840
think he would be uh successful h in that scheme
1100
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.920
one thousand percent. So yeah, Shanahan or not shannaan kubiakmar
1101
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:44.760
I don't want to say formational and personnel manipulation and dictation,
1102
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:47.599
Like I talked about heavy personnel to generate explosives, you know,
1103
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:50.559
going heavy to go, play action and take shots down
1104
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:54.559
the field, especially on early downs. Outside zone, marrying the
1105
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:57.360
run in the past, building counters off of that outside
1106
00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:59.039
zone again, a lot of times in the forms of
1107
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:01.880
play action marrying the run in the past, a lot
1108
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:04.280
of bootlegs, getting the quarterback on the move. Think of
1109
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:06.760
what Kyle Shanahan does with Brock Perdy, Think of what
1110
00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:09.280
Klint Kubiak has done with Sam Darnold. All the play
1111
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:13.599
action stuff under center, run game under center, play action,
1112
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:17.599
marrying those two, getting your quarterback on the move, layered
1113
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:21.280
passing concepts right into flood zones and create high lows
1114
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:25.440
and put defenders in conflict. Good stuff there. The biggest
1115
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:29.679
question for me is you know, he doesn't have head
1116
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:33.400
coaching experience. He's been an offensive coordinator three times, you know,
1117
00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:37.320
once in Minnesota again in twenty twenty one, in New
1118
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.800
Orleans last year in twenty twenty four, and then Seattle
1119
00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:41.840
this past season in twenty twenty five. So each time
1120
00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:44.760
he's been an offensive coordinator, he went somewhere else after.
1121
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:48.079
I believe for regime changes each time. So in Minnesota,
1122
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:50.400
you know, some Minnesota is the OC in twenty twenty one,
1123
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:53.079
then he's in Denver, he's the Saints OC last year.
1124
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:56.360
Now he's in Seattle. So you don't really necessarily know
1125
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:03.039
what's he going to be like year after you're building, developing, teaching,
1126
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:07.159
how sustainable everything is? Right? Can he develop players? Can
1127
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:09.880
he build and layer and grow a scheme along with
1128
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:13.280
the players and or the players? Also? Can he manage
1129
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:16.880
a team as a people manager like a coach needs
1130
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:18.760
to do. I think that's something gets lost in the
1131
00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:24.800
sauce a lot when you think about what a coach is.
1132
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.039
You know so much against me, especially right like I
1133
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:29.440
watch a ton of tape and all that stuff. Everything
1134
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:32.079
for me is x's and o's scheme and structure. But
1135
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:34.800
there's still like a people manager element to being a
1136
00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:38.199
head coach, a coordinator in general position coach as well,
1137
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:40.079
but especially a head coach. You have to be a
1138
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:42.480
people manager. You got to know your ex's and o's,
1139
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.199
but you also have to be a people manager. And
1140
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:47.320
some guys lean one way or the other. Right, Some
1141
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:49.360
guys are heavy x's and o's and they're so great
1142
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:52.559
at it that nothing else matters. Some guys are such
1143
00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:55.159
great people managers and they let the x's and o's
1144
00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.239
guys take care of everything, or they're able to identify
1145
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:01.119
those guys and go from there. But we don't know,
1146
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:04.239
you know, can he manage a team? I also just
1147
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:06.920
from the vibes of him, like as where he's been
1148
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.559
and like what his dad was like to like and
1149
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:11.440
just in general, we don't know. Is he the type
1150
00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:13.519
of guy who's like your quote unquote like leader of men?
1151
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.559
Is he the type of person that commands people's attention?
1152
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:19.800
Is he that people leader? Does he have it in him?
1153
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:22.119
We don't know. So those are the biggest cons for me.
1154
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.760
You know, one just not having a head coaching experience. Two,
1155
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:27.559
you know, what does he offer as like a you know,
1156
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:31.800
leader and commander? Two And then three, Yeah, you know,
1157
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:33.800
he's at a different stop every year, Like, we don't
1158
00:57:33.800 --> 00:57:35.880
know what year two of that Vikings offense would have
1159
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:37.679
looked like, or you're two of the Saints offense, or
1160
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:39.119
you know, maybe we don't know what year two of
1161
00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:41.880
the Seattle Seahawks. I don't know why I said it,
1162
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:43.920
like that, what year two of the Seahawks offense will
1163
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:45.559
look like if he leaves and goes to Buffalo or
1164
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:48.199
go someone else, And just Chris says here, we need
1165
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:50.159
someone who's been a head coach before. I think it's
1166
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:54.800
a fair point. You know, you especially now you know,
1167
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.400
to write the ship. Do you want someone who's shown
1168
00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.519
the ability to write the ship or steer the ship before?
1169
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:04.239
Or also kind of playing into that, knowing Bean is
1170
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:06.880
running the ship as the president of football operations and
1171
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.559
everything is funneling up to him, does it make it
1172
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:12.199
more likely that you do get a first time head
1173
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:15.119
coach because it's somebody who doesn't necessarily know the ways
1174
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:18.320
of the world and is more comfortable. Would Kubiak be
1175
00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:22.239
more comfortable coming in and taking this job than, you know,
1176
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:24.719
than Robert Salah would have because sala is, like, you
1177
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:27.320
know what I've done this before. I don't need to
1178
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:29.400
report to this guy in this manner. I don't need
1179
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:32.079
this type of structure, so on and so forth. Does
1180
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:35.079
an unproving guy like Kubiak say, you know what, Yeah,
1181
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:37.800
like I would like somebody to kind of oversee everything
1182
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.760
so I can focus on the x's and so on
1183
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:42.760
and so forth. But I think that's a fair point.
1184
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:49.679
This comment. Kubiak would be a great admiral. Well done,
1185
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:55.440
well done overall, I do like kling Kubiak. He I
1186
00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:56.960
also want to say this too, I think the Bills
1187
00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:00.199
go offense with their head coach. I think they go
1188
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:05.159
in that vein of the Andy Reid, Zach Taylor, Sean McVay,
1189
00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:09.119
shanahan type of deal where their head coach is, the
1190
00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:13.079
offensive coordinator is the play caller. Whoever their offensive coordinator
1191
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:17.320
is is really just kind of funneling into him. I think.
1192
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:20.800
I do think they lean offense. Whoever they go with
1193
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:24.159
in this coaching cycle, I do think they lean offense.
1194
00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:27.639
I think Kubiak makes a lot of sense for them.
1195
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:29.719
I also think from a personnel standpoint, he fits a
1196
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.000
lot with what they do, especially with what he's done
1197
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:35.880
this year. Multiple tight end looks heavy personnel under center
1198
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.679
I formation type of stuff like, it would be a
1199
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:43.360
pretty seamless transition with the personnel they already have. Offensively,
1200
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:45.679
it wouldn't be something where you know, you're not really
1201
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.039
gonna see his offense until year two or three because
1202
00:59:48.039 --> 00:59:50.239
they have to gut everything that they have and they
1203
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:51.639
got to bring in the right body types or the
1204
00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:56.639
right skill sets. So yeah, I think I do think
1205
00:59:56.639 --> 00:59:58.360
they lean offense. I think Kubiak makes a lot of
1206
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:01.719
sense with how they're already built. And yeah, I think
1207
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:03.719
I think the Bills kind of we're seeing that a lot. Right,
1208
01:00:03.719 --> 01:00:05.440
A lot of teams are just going in the offensive
1209
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:09.320
mind direction as they have the you know, really for
1210
01:00:09.360 --> 01:00:11.440
a while in terms of going with that, And again,
1211
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:14.039
I do think it makes sense for the Bills because
1212
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:16.079
you also think if you're going with a defensive head coach,
1213
01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:18.559
although I personally like that as well, if you go
1214
01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:21.559
to the defensive head coach, you're probably thinking, you know,
1215
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:23.679
if Allen does his thing in the offense, does this thing,
1216
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.800
your offensive coordinator is probably getting turned out every two
1217
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:28.800
to forty years because teams are gonna be like, wow,
1218
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:31.559
that offense looks great, let's pluck that guy and then
1219
01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:34.159
you constantly have to change the offensive coordinator, Whereas if
1220
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:37.840
you have an offensive coordinator head coach who's running the
1221
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:39.719
who's running the place and running the show on that
1222
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:41.840
side of the ball, you don't have to necessarily do
1223
01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:43.320
that as much, and maybe you don't worry about your
1224
01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:49.000
defensive coordinator getting plucked as much from there. But yeah,
1225
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:51.119
I like Kubiak. I've liked him for a while. I
1226
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:54.280
watched a ton of Seahawks tape this year. I like
1227
01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:57.000
the Shanahan tree. I want to piece that Shanahan tree
1228
01:00:57.079 --> 01:00:59.599
in Buffalo. It's part of why I wanted Mike McDaniel
1229
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:05.159
as the Bill's OC. So yeah, this next one, Chris
1230
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:09.159
Shula defensive coordinator, Los Angeles Rams. I want to say this.
1231
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:15.320
I do think Kubiak is my oh old non. We
1232
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:17.719
got another super chat. Thank you very much for beinger
1233
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:19.920
thinking for the super Chat. The comments is Philip Rivers
1234
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:23.599
just saying I appreciate you, I appreciate you. You want Philip
1235
01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:25.480
Rivers' is like head coach. I kind of don't hate it.
1236
01:01:25.519 --> 01:01:28.159
He's so fiery, and you know, he knows, he knows,
1237
01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:30.480
he's a people leader. He's got like seventy five kids,
1238
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.679
and he knows how to write the ship there. That's funny.
1239
01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:35.159
I don't know how serious you are now with him,
1240
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:40.480
but that's kind of funny. I like that, Chris Shula.
1241
01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:44.320
I want to say this is as far as an
1242
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:47.079
individual and not thinking of whoever else comes with him. Granted,
1243
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:50.719
like maybe Clink Kubiak brings again the defensive coordinator from
1244
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:53.559
Seattle whose name my butcher all the time. Maybe he
1245
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:58.320
brings him just in saying the Bills can't hire a Shula. Yeah,
1246
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.679
it's in the league bylaws. That's fair. Yeah, Krishula is
1247
01:02:00.679 --> 01:02:06.039
the grandson of a legendary Dolphins head coach Shula, so
1248
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:09.760
you know fair enough there. That's funny. So who knows
1249
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:12.159
who Kubiak brings with him as his defensive coordinator? You know,
1250
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:14.719
maybe he likes Babbage and he keeps him. But I
1251
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:18.079
would assume he would bring Seattle Seahawks defensive staff with him,
1252
01:02:18.199 --> 01:02:20.360
which is cool. Could you get some of that McDonald
1253
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:23.679
tree potentially in your building in your defense which would
1254
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:27.280
be awesome, although McDonald is really the straw that stirs
1255
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.960
the drink and a lot of the horses that they have.
1256
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:33.599
But we would see who Kubiak would bring in what
1257
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:36.159
I really like about Chris Sula, and I like some
1258
01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:39.960
things about him individually, but part of what my perfect
1259
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:43.840
storm is with Chrishula is if he were so he's
1260
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:45.639
the defensive coordinator for the Rams, if he were to
1261
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:49.159
come in and be your head coach, my hope and pairing,
1262
01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:52.199
and this is like my one B to Kubiak being
1263
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:54.519
the one A, especially now that salas off the board.
1264
01:02:54.880 --> 01:02:58.360
If Shula came in as the head coach, and then ah,
1265
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:04.000
it's pronounced dirty Okay, So that is the last name
1266
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.920
pronunciation of the Sea oxens acordator. I've heard it multiple times,
1267
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:09.559
and I never know what source to trust, even like
1268
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:12.440
some team based interviews will kind of get it wrong
1269
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:14.719
initially and then I'm like, oh, how do I want to
1270
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:16.119
go around? So thank you very much for that. I
1271
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:17.679
appreciate you, and also I'm gonna put my faith in
1272
01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:19.679
you and trust that you're right, because as far as
1273
01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:21.239
I know, you could be completely making it up and
1274
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:22.800
you might be wrong yourself, but I'm gonna trust you
1275
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:26.400
and I appreciate you. Yeah, So maybe Kubiak brings Dirty
1276
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:29.320
in with him, the defensive coordinator from Seattle, But My
1277
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:32.119
thought with the Rams is Chris Shula comes in right
1278
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:35.039
defensive coordinator from the Rams, he's your head coach. Then
1279
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:40.760
offensive coordinator I'm hoping would be Nate Shieldhause, who is
1280
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:46.159
the passing game coordinator for the Rams right now McVeigh
1281
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:50.760
student Tree disciple doing all the drawings and mockups and
1282
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:53.079
everything that Liam Cohen was doing a couple of years ago,
1283
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:57.519
and all that stuff. I've mentioned she Ass's name for
1284
01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:00.360
a while. It got actually mentioned, got first brought up
1285
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.079
in the chat. I forget who and if whoever's watching it.
1286
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:05.480
If you're here and you were that person, let me
1287
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.760
know I might recognize the handle. Somebody brought up Shieldhouse
1288
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:11.639
back in like October or November here on the show
1289
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:13.599
when I was talking about Kubiak, and I was and
1290
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.239
I remembered him at Ohio State, and I forgot that
1291
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:18.800
he was the pass game coordinator with the Rams and
1292
01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.719
with McVeigh. So he's not a full o. See, And
1293
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:23.840
I think that makes a lot of logistical sense, like
1294
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:26.599
it would be cool, but I also think it's realistic.
1295
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:29.639
Like Shula comes over, he's probably going to bring somebody
1296
01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:32.280
from that RAMS staff. I don't think he's going to
1297
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:35.960
take Michael Fleurr, who's the current offensive coordinator with the Rams, right,
1298
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:37.960
you would take somebody else, So you would take like
1299
01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:40.320
the quarterbacks coach or the wide receivers coach, or the
1300
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:43.480
passing game coordinator who is shiel House. That would be
1301
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:46.960
pretty sweet. So I would take Chris Shula as the
1302
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:49.840
head coach. He runs the defensive side, and then Nate
1303
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:52.840
Schelhouse is your offensive coordinator, who I really like. That
1304
01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:54.639
goes back to was Iowa State days, which is what
1305
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:57.000
I really remembered him. And then once I realized he
1306
01:04:57.079 --> 01:04:58.920
was at the RAMS these past couple of years, I
1307
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:04.320
was like, oh my god, I like it even more now. Again,
1308
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:06.760
what we talked about a couple of minutes ago, this
1309
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:09.880
means in theory right, like because Shielhaus also got interviewed
1310
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:14.119
by the Ravens for a head coaching position last week,
1311
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:16.639
and again he's just a passing game coordinator with the Rams.
1312
01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:19.920
So that shows you what kind of how he's thought
1313
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.480
about in the league circles. That he's a passing game
1314
01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:25.159
coordinator a couple of years ago, was the you know,
1315
01:05:25.199 --> 01:05:30.360
the Iowa State offensive coordinator, and now he's sitting there
1316
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:34.880
kind of getting head coaching interview spots as a thirty
1317
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:38.360
five year old. Again, even just going back through so
1318
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:40.960
at Iowa State, starting in twenty eighteen, running backs coach,
1319
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:44.800
wide receivers coach, running game coordinator, slash running backs and
1320
01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:47.239
wide receivers coach. Then in twenty twenty three he was
1321
01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:50.239
the OC and the QB coach. Then twenty twenty four
1322
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:53.639
he goes to the Rams offensive assistant and pass game specialist.
1323
01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:56.320
Then this past year he was the past he's been
1324
01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:00.159
the pass game coordinator for the Rams. That just shows
1325
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.480
you how highly thought of he is that he doesn't
1326
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:05.559
necessarily have this stocked out resume and he got a
1327
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:08.280
head coaching interview. He is the type of guy who
1328
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:10.519
I think like he could come with Shula if that's
1329
01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:13.440
the move that happens, right, and then Chiahas might be
1330
01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:16.760
gone in twenty twenty seven or maybe even twenty twenty
1331
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:19.079
eight at the latest. And again you're I think that's
1332
01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:23.760
highly likely for that specific scenario, but also I think
1333
01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:25.079
it somebod you're gonna have to deal with. If you
1334
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:26.719
go with the defensive head coach, you're gonna have that
1335
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:30.440
churnet offensive coordinator where Josh Allen and the offense does
1336
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:34.360
its thing, and so every year or two teams are
1337
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:37.639
coming around and kicking the tires on your offensive coordinator
1338
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:39.599
to get head coaching interview opportunities. I mean, look at
1339
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:42.719
Joe Brady. Joe Brady has interviewed with what, the Dolphins,
1340
01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:47.280
the Ravens, the Raiders. I think I've lost count of
1341
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:49.400
like all the names I've seen him associated with, Like,
1342
01:06:49.480 --> 01:06:51.639
Joe Brady's gotten a ton of interviews when a lot
1343
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:53.440
of Bills fans think he's terrible, but because of the
1344
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:56.119
association with this offense, and again I don't think he's
1345
01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:57.559
as terrible as everybody makes him out to be. I
1346
01:06:57.599 --> 01:06:59.159
also don't think he's as great as some people made
1347
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:03.960
him out to be. But that kind of relationship and
1348
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:06.159
association with Allen in this offense is gonna get your
1349
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:08.800
offensive coordinator interviews. So you're gonna run into that with
1350
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:13.519
anybody that is a defensive based head coach when it
1351
01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:18.800
comes to Shula individually, a lot of movement defensively, five
1352
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:23.679
down overload looks, simulated pressures, creepers, a lot of run stunts,
1353
01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:26.760
a lot of stunts in the past, some you know,
1354
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:30.639
match some fangio match coverage, principal stuff. I talked about
1355
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:32.320
this with Cody Alexander a couple weeks ago when I
1356
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:33.639
had him on the show. You know, get you get
1357
01:07:33.639 --> 01:07:36.599
some Fangio coverage stuff on the back end, but then
1358
01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:39.280
you've got some of that Wade Phillips five down pressure
1359
01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:43.679
path and Blitz packaged stuff up front. Really cool. Obviously
1360
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:47.639
he has a bunch of horses at the Rams, especially upfront.
1361
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:50.199
You've got Kobe Turner, You've got Byron Young, You've got
1362
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.880
Jared Verse, now, You've got Yeah, You've got Poona Ford.
1363
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.840
Now you have Brayden Fisk. You got dudes who can
1364
01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:04.480
kind of roll. Even what's not Jordan Davis, Oh from Clemson.
1365
01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:05.920
This is gonna drive me nuts. I have to look up.
1366
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:09.039
I have to look up the Rams depth chart. Forgive me,
1367
01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:11.280
forgive me because his name is eluding me and it's
1368
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:15.480
gonna drive me absolutely insane. Tyler Davis, thank you, defensive tackle.
1369
01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:19.720
He's number ninety for the Rams. I remember lik him
1370
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:21.880
a bit coming out of Clemson, like he's been productive.
1371
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:24.920
Like they have dudes upfront who can absolutely just go.
1372
01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:28.760
Even Josiah Stewart, rookie edge out of Michigan, who I
1373
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.159
like he's undersized, but just plays like a veloci rafter,
1374
01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:33.880
like you've seen what they've kind of been able to
1375
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:38.399
get out of guys up front. But again, he's got
1376
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:41.239
the horses, but I think he does a great job
1377
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:44.079
weaponizing them and setting them up for success, and kind
1378
01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:46.279
of the hybrid nature of the defense I think is cool.
1379
01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:49.520
My biggest question with him is can he be as
1380
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:52.680
effective without having those dudes? Right? How effective can he
1381
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:56.239
be without having Byron Young and Jared Versus and Kobe
1382
01:08:56.239 --> 01:09:01.119
Turner and all, and like this legitimate five or six
1383
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:05.079
man deep front that they have. And especially for a
1384
01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:07.720
guy that runs a defense that's a combination of like
1385
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:10.720
multiple schemes and philosophies and has a hybrid nature to it,
1386
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.960
the personnel is super important. And that's what I also
1387
01:09:14.039 --> 01:09:16.079
think is tough with whoever comes in for the defense,
1388
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:18.600
but especially if they come in and they're not alike
1389
01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:22.640
for like scheme fit with what the Bills already do. Like,
1390
01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:25.840
unless you're running a four down overfront type of defense,
1391
01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:28.720
it's gonna be tough for you to change things here
1392
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:31.119
in Buffalo because one, that's how the defense is built
1393
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:35.039
right now. Two, like someone alluded to earlier. They don't
1394
01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:37.800
have the you know, the plethora of picks and cap
1395
01:09:37.840 --> 01:09:40.319
space to kind of revamp everything in an offseason. If
1396
01:09:40.319 --> 01:09:42.840
you decide, you know what, I'm gonna come in, I'm
1397
01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:45.800
gonna remake this defense in my image. You don't really
1398
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.840
have the draft capital or the financial capital to do that.
1399
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:54.159
But so that's a hindrance for him and a hindrance
1400
01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:55.760
for the next name then I'm gonna bring up as well.
1401
01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:59.039
But I like what he's done schematically. I like the
1402
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:01.359
hybrid nature of the defense and the combinations of what
1403
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:03.880
he does. I like how he's weaponized as players sets
1404
01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:06.239
them up for success. I like the quarters principles that
1405
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:07.960
he operates with on the back end. I'm a huge
1406
01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.439
match coverage guy, so I like that type of stuff.
1407
01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:12.960
I like the three safeties that he's doing. You know
1408
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.560
how he works in Cam Curl, Cam Kitchens and Quinton
1409
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:17.840
Lake when he's healthy. You know, him being able to
1410
01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:21.720
get Emmanuel Forbes and Kobe Durant to play outstanding at
1411
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:23.359
times even though they had a bit of a lull.
1412
01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:25.760
You know what he's gotten out of the linebacker spot,
1413
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.119
even though they don't have studs at that spot. I
1414
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:30.479
know like Nate Landman has been like a fun guy
1415
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:32.159
who's really kind of come on, but it's been Nate
1416
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:35.039
Lambman and Omar Spates, like none of those guys are
1417
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:37.399
big names that run the show or are all pro
1418
01:10:37.439 --> 01:10:39.720
type of guys, and he's been able to kind of
1419
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:42.159
just set that again, set them up for success a
1420
01:10:42.159 --> 01:10:43.520
lot with what he does at the front, and he
1421
01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:48.119
has the horses. But yeah, so for me, the cons
1422
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:50.119
with him are can he be as effective without having
1423
01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:53.560
those dudes? And then you know him bringing his scheme
1424
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:56.000
and philosophy in knowing that it's not really a like
1425
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.560
for like fit with how the Bills are currently built
1426
01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:01.840
from a roster and body type standpoint in previous schematics,
1427
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.760
I think that would be tough. And again, what offensive
1428
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:06.800
coordinator would he bring? I think that's a huge piece
1429
01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:09.279
for me. Again, my hope is it would be Shielhouse,
1430
01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:12.720
but we'll go in a different direction if needed. And
1431
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.479
any defensive coordinator this is necessarily a con just for Shula,
1432
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:18.279
but again any defensive coordinators or head coach means you're
1433
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:21.439
probably playing the revolving door at offensive coordinator every couple
1434
01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:24.159
of years. But I do like Shula. I do like
1435
01:11:24.199 --> 01:11:25.680
what a lot of the Rams have been doing a
1436
01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:27.520
lot of what a lot of the Rams have been doing.
1437
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:31.600
What the Rams have been doing this year in a
1438
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:37.319
lot of ways. Again, the Rams are a team that, Oh,
1439
01:11:37.439 --> 01:11:39.119
I've lost track at this point. I watched a ton
1440
01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:41.960
of their tape last year because I liked I like
1441
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:44.960
Kobe Turner a lot, and then rookie Jared Verse, I
1442
01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:48.399
like Cam Kinchen's Byron Young again their front was so sick.
1443
01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:50.680
And then I like Michael Hoyt last year too, But
1444
01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:55.119
they were doing such cool stuff schematically last year, and
1445
01:11:55.159 --> 01:11:57.000
you know him being the d C last year his
1446
01:11:57.039 --> 01:11:59.399
first year is their DC last year, then being their
1447
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:03.800
defensive coordat again this year. I just think they're well coached,
1448
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:06.479
They attack the movement, the you know what they are
1449
01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:09.359
from an identity and philosophical standpoint. And then also how
1450
01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:11.159
he's been able to kind of blend multiple schemes on
1451
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:13.800
the front and back end. I like it. And then
1452
01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:15.560
his coaching history in case you Carey's been with the
1453
01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:18.880
Rams since twenty seventeen. He was the assistant linebackers coach
1454
01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:21.800
for two years, the outside linebackers coach for two years,
1455
01:12:22.119 --> 01:12:25.199
the linebackers coach in twenty twenty one, the pass game
1456
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:28.479
coordinator and DB's coach in twenty twenty two, then the
1457
01:12:28.520 --> 01:12:32.079
pass rush coordinator and linebackers coach in twenty twenty three,
1458
01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:35.640
and then the defensive coordinator last year and this year.
1459
01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:37.520
And knowing what they've been able to turn out there
1460
01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:40.319
with the rams, you know, maybe he can help coach
1461
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:42.800
up this front a little bit id, some better pass
1462
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:45.319
rush prospects, developed some guys a little bit more, and
1463
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:50.399
or set some guys up for success. We'll see. But yeah,
1464
01:12:50.479 --> 01:12:52.920
I like Shula as a name as well. Next name,
1465
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:58.479
also a defensive mind. Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator Chargers another
1466
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:02.359
one who again the schematic fit kind of leading off
1467
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:04.680
with the con here, but kind of you know, connecting
1468
01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:06.880
it to the Shuler piece. The schematic fit with how
1469
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:09.840
the Bills roster is built defensively, I think is a question.
1470
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:13.359
Minter is more of a three to four type of guy,
1471
01:13:13.520 --> 01:13:17.000
odd front type of looks, but he does know how
1472
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:22.039
to have liked odd front structure in his run defense,
1473
01:13:22.119 --> 01:13:24.279
but kind of tie it into an even front with
1474
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:26.920
his principles of kind of just gap and a half,
1475
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:29.399
but you know, you know, attack, react and I should
1476
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:32.000
say react, attack like knock back type of deal, reset
1477
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.560
the line of scrimmage. I do think he could kind
1478
01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:37.439
of blend things a bit, but he's another guy who,
1479
01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:41.039
like the structure in the scheme, isn't necessarily the ideal fit.
1480
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:44.319
But I just value him so much as a defensive mind.
1481
01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:46.039
If you ever want to take a peek on, there's
1482
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:48.600
a ton of stuff going back to his time at Michigan.
1483
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:53.560
So he was the Michigan defensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh.
1484
01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:56.359
At Michigan for a little bit, we'll kind of run
1485
01:13:56.399 --> 01:13:59.199
down his time there. So he was with the Ravens
1486
01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:02.640
in twenty seventeen. He was a defensive assistant for two years.
1487
01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.399
Then he was the assistant DB's coach in twenty nineteen,
1488
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:08.279
the full on DB's coach in twenty twenty. Then he
1489
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:10.680
went to Vanderbilt in twenty twenty one where he was
1490
01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:13.840
the DC and safety's coach. Then he was at Michigan
1491
01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:16.560
in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three where he
1492
01:14:16.600 --> 01:14:20.119
was their defensive coordinator. Won a national championship there, and
1493
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:23.840
then he has been the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator
1494
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:26.079
last year and this year, where he followed Jim Harbaugh
1495
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:30.359
to the Chargers from Michigan. If you ever want to
1496
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:32.520
look something up on him, just type his name Jesse
1497
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:35.479
Minter and type in the four pillars of defense. You know,
1498
01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:38.000
there's coaching clinics on him. There's interviews of him talking
1499
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:40.720
about it. His four pillars are defense of defense, I
1500
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:44.359
should say, are effort and angles. That's one effort and angles,
1501
01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:49.840
block deconstruction, ball disruption, and obnoxious communication. You just see
1502
01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:53.880
the way his team operates again, like playing the angles
1503
01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:56.439
of football. Football off comes down to math a bunch.
1504
01:14:56.800 --> 01:14:59.720
You know, it's you know, numbers and just pure plus
1505
01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:02.800
in mind, and then it's also angles. It's geometry, all
1506
01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:05.520
that kind of stuff. And he coaches guys to hustle up.
1507
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:07.399
He coaches them to take good angles to the football.
1508
01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:11.319
Block deconstruction hugely important. And if you watch the Chargers,
1509
01:15:11.319 --> 01:15:13.880
you do it's huge linebackers. As an example, you see
1510
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.960
Dayon Henley and Denzel Perriman. Those dudes know how to
1511
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:21.239
deconstruct blocks all day. But then watching you know, Khalil Matck,
1512
01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:24.760
watching two Y two Plow too, even Derwin James, like,
1513
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:26.880
watch their dbs how they take on blocks. You see
1514
01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:29.760
that ball disruption, making plays on the ball, cause and havoc.
1515
01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:32.000
And then I'm not just communication. They do a lot
1516
01:15:32.039 --> 01:15:34.239
of cool schematic stuff on the back end, and that
1517
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:37.039
happens because of how well and tight or how good
1518
01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:41.159
and tight their communication is on the back end. He's
1519
01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:43.399
also you know, again a lot of just great line
1520
01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:45.800
one liners from him and of what he believes philosophically
1521
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:48.920
and from an identity standpoint. You know, he talks all
1522
01:15:48.960 --> 01:15:51.279
the time about how scheme is important, but also it's
1523
01:15:51.359 --> 01:15:53.520
what you play. It's not just what you play, it's
1524
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:55.520
how you play it. He says, quote it's a fifty
1525
01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:58.239
to fifty split. How you play and what you play
1526
01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:02.159
are of equal importance. And I just think that's so important,
1527
01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:04.520
Like he knows, he's that type of guy that he
1528
01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:06.319
knows what he wants to play, but he's only gonna
1529
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:09.960
play what his guys can maximize what sets them up
1530
01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:12.560
for success, because it's not just what you play, it's
1531
01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:14.680
how you play it. And him being able to balance
1532
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:16.720
those two he's done it for the past several years.
1533
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.520
I like it against schematically creative on the back end.
1534
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:22.720
One of the things I don't like, and this kind
1535
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.279
of ties into what the Bills used to be a bit.
1536
01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:28.199
He is a proponent, especially this past year, of like
1537
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:30.800
that light box defense that will give up you know,
1538
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:33.920
yards on the ground but won't allow a ton of explosives.
1539
01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:37.800
He is kind of the proverbial like bend but don't
1540
01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:42.479
break type of defense. In twenty twenty five, that's really
1541
01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:44.560
what they were, you know, not blitz in a ton,
1542
01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:47.159
but getting really good rush efficiency. I think they have
1543
01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:49.359
the seventh highest sack rate in the in the league
1544
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:51.319
that in this past year with what they were able
1545
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:54.159
to do. They want to make offenses grow impatient. They're
1546
01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:56.760
gonna stay in nickel. They're gonna have light boxes, they're
1547
01:16:56.800 --> 01:16:58.279
gonna let you run the ball for four to five
1548
01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:00.960
yards at a time, and they're actually gonna bet that
1549
01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:03.439
you become impatient or you make a mistake and then
1550
01:17:03.439 --> 01:17:06.159
they capitalize because they're in dime or they're in nickel.
1551
01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:08.520
And again some of this is tied to you know,
1552
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:10.800
you got Derwyn James, who's a skeleton key of a
1553
01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:12.520
nickel with what he can do with coverage and what
1554
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.640
he can do as a run defender. And then some
1555
01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:16.680
of the dbs they've had on the back end as well,
1556
01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:19.159
but that's something that for me is a con like.
1557
01:17:19.239 --> 01:17:23.039
I don't like that type of model and mentality, but
1558
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:26.760
it really works for what he's done and where he's
1559
01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:28.760
been and how he built this Chargers team and who
1560
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:32.000
they've had from a personnel standpoint. I also wonder again,
1561
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:35.279
oh yes, forced asleep says Ben, but don't break is
1562
01:17:35.319 --> 01:17:37.840
forbidden in Buffalo. I also wonder how that gel is
1563
01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:40.239
kind of just with the front that they have in Buffalo.
1564
01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:42.359
Like you go to the Chargers and they had you know,
1565
01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:45.119
poona Ford last year, they had Tier Turt this year.
1566
01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:48.239
Like they're playing some odd front principles and you know
1567
01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:50.880
what gaps they're controlling, how they're controlling them, playing gap
1568
01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:53.279
in a half, playing knock back, all that type of stuff.
1569
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:56.279
That's not what the Bills have been built with, And
1570
01:17:56.279 --> 01:17:58.079
that's not what the Bills have, Like they would have
1571
01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:01.720
to kind of reach tool themselves a little bit like TJ.
1572
01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:04.720
Sanders isn't built for that type of defense. At Oliver
1573
01:18:04.920 --> 01:18:07.640
isn't built for that type of defense. Dean Walker maybe
1574
01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:09.439
is built for that type of defense. But you have
1575
01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:14.239
to severely change your interior defensive line. Your linebackers are
1576
01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:16.359
not good at block deconstruction. We'll see what happens with
1577
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:18.720
Matt Mlano if if he comes back. But Treel Bernard,
1578
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:22.560
he's not built for block deconstruction. His size and frame
1579
01:18:22.600 --> 01:18:25.199
and arm length not great, you know, So what would
1580
01:18:25.239 --> 01:18:29.239
Minter have to do to kind of bat that. I
1581
01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:31.600
think that's what makes the fit a little tough. But
1582
01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:34.520
I do like him as a defensive mind. I think
1583
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:37.520
he's someone who would get I think he's someone who
1584
01:18:37.560 --> 01:18:41.000
would get get the job done in the long term
1585
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:44.199
going forward. But I think the initial first year, like
1586
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:46.319
that first year twenty twenty six, I think would be
1587
01:18:46.319 --> 01:18:48.800
really ugly and messy defensively because they don't have the
1588
01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:52.079
pieces or the body types that would fit the type
1589
01:18:52.079 --> 01:18:54.399
of defense he runs. But I do trust him to
1590
01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:57.680
kind of balance that a little bit and mitigate those discrepancies.
1591
01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:01.960
He's a really great teacher, very hands on, But I
1592
01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:06.439
think it will be tough considering just how the Bill's
1593
01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:09.960
defensive roster is built. Same similar challenge for Shula as well.
1594
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:11.600
Both of these guys, right, both of like the hot
1595
01:19:11.680 --> 01:19:16.840
name defensive coordinators in Shula and Minter that are potential
1596
01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:21.520
head coach candidates, don't really gel or fit with what
1597
01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:24.600
the Bill's current identity is defensively, and you would have
1598
01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:27.720
to overhaul or retool or revamp or tweak whatever verbat
1599
01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:29.399
You want to use a lot of the body types
1600
01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:32.840
and the roster to get them to fit the schematics
1601
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:35.439
and identity and philosophy for Shula and Minter. That's part
1602
01:19:35.439 --> 01:19:37.039
of the reason why I also like Robert Salad because
1603
01:19:37.039 --> 01:19:38.399
I thought it was more of a seamless fit, and
1604
01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:39.840
I do think he's a good coach. I know some
1605
01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:45.279
people don't, but yeah, well, I do think that's going
1606
01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:47.439
to be a challenge for Minter, just like it would
1607
01:19:47.479 --> 01:19:50.319
be for Shula. But I value both of their minds schematically,
1608
01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:55.119
and kind of going from there next one, I'm gonna
1609
01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:57.960
bring these guys up in conjunction with one another. A
1610
01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:02.760
lot of you have mentioning in the chat, Joe Brady,
1611
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:07.439
Brian Dable. I I don't know why. I've kind of
1612
01:20:07.479 --> 01:20:09.159
backed off this a little bit the more I've thought
1613
01:20:09.159 --> 01:20:13.039
about it, but I just have a gut feeling that
1614
01:20:13.119 --> 01:20:15.079
Joe Brady's gonna be the head coach of the Bills.
1615
01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:19.479
I just kind of think of that. I don't want
1616
01:20:19.560 --> 01:20:21.800
Joe Brady as the head coach of the Bills. I
1617
01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:24.000
don't think he's as big of a problem and he's
1618
01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:25.960
been kind of made out to be. I just don't think.
1619
01:20:26.399 --> 01:20:27.880
I don't think Joe Braden woul say it just kind
1620
01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:29.279
of speak out of both sides of my oll. Actually, no,
1621
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:34.279
I'm not. I don't think Joe Brady was as amazing
1622
01:20:34.520 --> 01:20:36.359
as everybody was making him out to be last year
1623
01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:38.319
when Alan won the MVP and the Bills were running
1624
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:40.279
the ball and doing all that great stuff. I also
1625
01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:42.680
don't think he's as bad as everybody's been making him
1626
01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:45.319
out to be this year. So I don't think he
1627
01:20:45.359 --> 01:20:47.199
was as high up there as everybody was making him
1628
01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:48.479
out to be. And I don't think he's as bad
1629
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:50.600
as everybody's making him out to be. Now that said,
1630
01:20:50.600 --> 01:20:52.960
I don't want him to be head coach. And I'm
1631
01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:55.399
in a similar poll with Brian Dable really just because
1632
01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:58.399
of how poorly things went with the Giants and the
1633
01:20:58.439 --> 01:21:01.199
reports coming out of thereafter grant it. You know, it
1634
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:03.359
could be a smear campaign and all that type of stuff.
1635
01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:06.479
We don't know what the deal is with that organization
1636
01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:08.960
and how things come out, but things were just so
1637
01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:11.800
bad in New York and I even going back to
1638
01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:13.960
this past game with the Chiefs, or this past season
1639
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:15.560
where they played the Chiefs on Monday night, and I
1640
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.319
know Spags does his things and we'll try and limit,
1641
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:21.479
you know, your best thing, but dabill not being able
1642
01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:23.560
to get the ball to the leak neighbors, you know,
1643
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.119
watching Daniel Jones leave the Giants and then start to
1644
01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:29.760
kind of flourish legitimately, legitimately a little bit with the Colts.
1645
01:21:29.880 --> 01:21:32.359
How much or how sustainable that was going to be
1646
01:21:32.359 --> 01:21:35.560
before after the injury, Now there's a huge variable thrown
1647
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:39.600
into that. I just don't I don't want Brady or Dable.
1648
01:21:40.279 --> 01:21:42.640
It's just I didn't even dive into that. We know
1649
01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:44.119
kind of who they are and what they are at
1650
01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:46.279
this point as well, So I didn't dive into too
1651
01:21:46.359 --> 01:21:48.159
much of the schematics for this conversation because I think
1652
01:21:48.199 --> 01:21:49.399
a lot of us know who they are and what
1653
01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:51.399
they are after watching the Bills for all these years.
1654
01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:55.560
But Dables run in New York was just so bad,
1655
01:21:56.039 --> 01:21:59.439
and there was so much like smoke from a negative
1656
01:21:59.479 --> 01:22:02.159
standpoint that even if a good chunk of it is
1657
01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:05.520
still smoking, there's no fire, there's still enough fire that
1658
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:08.359
makes me not want Dable to be the head coach
1659
01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:11.479
of the Bills, which is a shame because I met
1660
01:22:11.520 --> 01:22:13.199
him in person at the Senior Bowl. He was awesome,
1661
01:22:13.399 --> 01:22:16.159
He's a local guy, all that kind of stuff. I
1662
01:22:16.159 --> 01:22:19.039
don't want Dable, And as Tristan says, like Dabele doesn't
1663
01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:21.000
seem to have the disposition of a head coach. Yeah,
1664
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:24.920
there's just a lot of wonkiness with Dabel. And so
1665
01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:28.399
I don't want Dable and I don't want Joe Brady.
1666
01:22:28.439 --> 01:22:32.039
I just I don't think Brady is the guy wants
1667
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:35.680
steering the ship and ooh, coming from Will and the chat,
1668
01:22:35.720 --> 01:22:38.680
Dable is a classic Belichick tree coach. That's actually super fair.
1669
01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:44.239
That's a super fair thought there. Yeah, and then Brady huh.
1670
01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:47.760
I feel like also too, Like if Brady's the head coach,
1671
01:22:47.800 --> 01:22:50.800
he's more puppet than anything else. And I don't value
1672
01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:54.520
him enough schematically to think that that's fine from an
1673
01:22:54.520 --> 01:22:57.640
exus and O standpoint, Like I think Kobiac would be better,
1674
01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:01.159
and I would prefer that. I don't think there's a
1675
01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:03.479
right answer for anybody, Like we've talked about it, right,
1676
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:05.359
Like even the guys that I've listed off, like my
1677
01:23:05.399 --> 01:23:12.840
top three of Kubiak, Shula and Minter. We still don't
1678
01:23:12.880 --> 01:23:15.239
know on them as like head coaches, like there's variables
1679
01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:17.199
to each guy, there's pros and cons to each guy
1680
01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:21.520
across the board. I just I just don't want Brady
1681
01:23:21.520 --> 01:23:24.800
and I don't want Dable, And it's more gut field
1682
01:23:24.800 --> 01:23:27.159
than anything, although there obviously there are schematic pieces and
1683
01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:33.039
people eating aspects to it. But I yeah, Dable's tenure
1684
01:23:33.079 --> 01:23:38.720
in New York was ugly and wonky and black. Just
1685
01:23:38.720 --> 01:23:40.239
what he was doing with Jackson Dart at the end
1686
01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:43.359
and running him a million times, like the Camp Scataboo stuff.
1687
01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:47.199
Just you know, my league neighbors like kind of throwing
1688
01:23:47.319 --> 01:23:51.000
jabs at him last year, and you know, people openly
1689
01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:53.399
in the media, like players criticized him and just not
1690
01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:55.960
liking him. And then how he went, how he went
1691
01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:59.239
out the door just really mussy and medi musty and
1692
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:02.640
medi messy and muddy, and then even kind of compare
1693
01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:04.159
that somebody said in the chat, Yeah, like his how
1694
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:05.800
his tenure in Buffalo I did it was also not
1695
01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:09.039
great and then like rumblings that kind of came after that.
1696
01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:13.319
So I I I'm out on table not a fan
1697
01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:18.159
of that. One and Brady Again, I don't think Brady's
1698
01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:20.880
is terrible. I don't. I don't want Joe Brady as
1699
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:23.600
as my head coach right now. And I could be
1700
01:24:23.600 --> 01:24:25.479
completely wrong. He might go to someone said he's in
1701
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:27.880
the final stages with Baltimore, he's interviewed with the interviewed
1702
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.560
with Miami, interview with the Raiders. I believe he could
1703
01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:32.359
go on to be an amazing head coach. I just
1704
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:33.960
don't see it right now, and I know the faith
1705
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:40.159
in it right now, and I just I just don't.
1706
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:45.359
I don't want more of even though again the offense.
1707
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:48.039
I think we'll get this into the film room tomorrow.
1708
01:24:48.079 --> 01:24:49.199
And I don't want to talk too much about the
1709
01:24:49.239 --> 01:24:51.640
Broncos game, but I don't think the offense was a
1710
01:24:51.720 --> 01:24:55.279
huge problem schematically from a play calling or design standpoint.
1711
01:24:56.479 --> 01:24:58.199
In the playoffs. You know, there were some good things
1712
01:24:58.239 --> 01:24:59.359
that he was doing, just like I think there were
1713
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:04.720
some good things throughout. But oh, question from Josh oh
1714
01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:08.800
And in their tenure in Buffalo, whose offense look better,
1715
01:25:08.880 --> 01:25:16.359
Brady or Dable Oof. It's tough because they're they're both
1716
01:25:16.399 --> 01:25:20.119
so different. Brady is condensed formations, bigger body, types of
1717
01:25:20.159 --> 01:25:25.119
wide receiver and running the football, and Dable is John
1718
01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:29.720
Brown and Cole Beasley spread them out, you know, three
1719
01:25:29.760 --> 01:25:33.960
by two empty gun. Allan's gonna throw it forty times
1720
01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:37.279
a game. They're both too, They're two completely different offenses,
1721
01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:39.720
and they both were a sign of the times. Like
1722
01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:43.119
da bles offense worked because of where the NFL was
1723
01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:45.520
and it's trends and its meta, and Brady's offense has
1724
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:47.319
worked because of where the NFL is and it's trends
1725
01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:53.520
and its meta. Ooh. I also think, you know RJ says,
1726
01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:55.600
that's not even a question Dable all the way. Everything
1727
01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:57.880
was difficult under Brady because the other team knew the plays.
1728
01:25:57.920 --> 01:26:00.840
I also think people forget about like the sludge of
1729
01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:04.760
games for Dable, like the Jacksonville game. Ironically, even the
1730
01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:09.000
thirteen seconds game. The Bills started out horrible on offense,
1731
01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:11.760
you know, to start like they had that flurry where
1732
01:26:11.760 --> 01:26:14.000
they started chucking it down the field and making plays,
1733
01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:15.960
but they kind of had to because they started out
1734
01:26:16.079 --> 01:26:18.239
slow and muddy and ugly, and they had a couple
1735
01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:24.800
games like that in the Dable tenure. Wow, but the
1736
01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:27.159
pass game stuff has been really Here's what I want
1737
01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:31.520
to say, Brady but the pass game stuff has been
1738
01:26:31.560 --> 01:26:35.680
so ugly under Brady. But the weapons and the players
1739
01:26:35.720 --> 01:26:38.439
available also haven't been great with Brady. But then also
1740
01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:42.680
like Heat also didn't do good with with with Diggs,
1741
01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:45.479
and as we clearly see, Diggs has not completely fallen off.
1742
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:48.960
I think you could do six to one half a
1743
01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:51.119
dozen to the other. The run game under table wasn't
1744
01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:53.920
great and he didn't really hit that enough. I think
1745
01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:55.520
I think it's six to one half a dozen the other.
1746
01:26:55.520 --> 01:26:57.640
It's really tough because their offenses are just so different.
1747
01:26:57.880 --> 01:27:00.000
Their offense is just so different. The Brady run game
1748
01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:02.560
has been good. Granted he's ad Chromer, so you can
1749
01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:05.279
see that as a pro as oricon. Oh and Jason
1750
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:07.399
just said I don't trust that Brady would succeed without Chromer.
1751
01:27:09.239 --> 01:27:11.199
It's tough. There's so many variables. I think it's six
1752
01:27:11.239 --> 01:27:12.800
and one half it does the other. I'm gonna say push.
1753
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:15.560
That's a great question. That's a really great question, Josh,
1754
01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:17.840
really well done. That's a good question. I'm gonna be
1755
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:20.720
thinking about that all night. Yeah. Obviously, the Dable Pass
1756
01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:24.800
game lights out for the most part, even though again
1757
01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:26.439
they had a bunch of struggles and didn't pivot to
1758
01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:28.199
the run game enough, and then the Brady run game
1759
01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:30.520
was sick, and then the past game struggled, like if
1760
01:27:30.520 --> 01:27:34.119
you could merge the two, that'd be sick at some point.
1761
01:27:34.119 --> 01:27:37.239
And again, personnel ties into a two like Dable didn't
1762
01:27:37.279 --> 01:27:40.479
have a running back the capable like James Cookie also
1763
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:44.359
didn't have Aaron Kromer. Joe Brady doesn't have prime John
1764
01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:47.680
Brown and prime Cole Beasley. Prime Cole Beasley was a problem.
1765
01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:51.000
Dude was a monster. So having those guys maybe that
1766
01:27:51.079 --> 01:27:53.960
helps a little bit, plus like prime digs. Yeah, cam
1767
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:55.720
Moore says, let's just take the middle ground and say
1768
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:58.000
Ken Dorsey. I still don't think Ken Dorsey was as
1769
01:27:58.000 --> 01:27:59.880
bad as everybody made about to be. That's a conversation
1770
01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:03.600
for another time. Oh. Also, fair comment here saying you
1771
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:07.279
also have a younger, less experienced Josh Allen under Brian Dable.
1772
01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:11.760
Fair fair, fair, fair, fair fair. Yeah, and based on
1773
01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:13.600
the comments here there's I think it's a pretty good split. Yeah,
1774
01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:14.800
think you could make the case either way. That's a
1775
01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:17.399
really good question, Josh, well done and getting everybody chatting,
1776
01:28:17.560 --> 01:28:21.560
Well done, Well done. Yeah, I again, I don't think
1777
01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:24.359
Brady is terrible. If you told me Joe Brady was
1778
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:29.079
staying his offensive coordinator, I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't
1779
01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:31.079
have hated it. You know, if McDermott state as well,
1780
01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:34.159
Like I wanted Mike McDaniel over Joe Brady, But I
1781
01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:36.399
don't think Joe Brady's a guy that I'm like, he's terrible.
1782
01:28:36.720 --> 01:28:39.680
Jettison him into the sun if he left. Similar to McDermott,
1783
01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.600
if he left, I'd be like, okay, cool. If he stayed,
1784
01:28:42.600 --> 01:28:46.319
I'd be like, okay, cool, But I don't want him
1785
01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:49.840
as a head coach. And then Dable, Yeah, I just
1786
01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:54.119
how bad that Giant stop was and everything coming out
1787
01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:57.319
and what they were on the field, ugly and bad
1788
01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:03.239
in a lot of ways. Some other random not other random,
1789
01:29:03.239 --> 01:29:08.560
but other names that I'm kind of just thinking of.
1790
01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:10.560
I was just diving into, like other playoff teams and
1791
01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:16.920
who could potentially go somewhere. Grant Udinsky, he is the
1792
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:19.319
offensive coordinator for the Jags, you know, really kind of
1793
01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:23.840
both Jags coordinators potentially him and then Anthony Campanilli, the
1794
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:25.880
defensive coordinator who talked about a ton a couple of
1795
01:29:25.880 --> 01:29:29.439
weeks ago. But I think those are more like outskirt
1796
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:33.479
outline names, especially for Rodinsky, who he's thirty years old,
1797
01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:36.479
extreme would be extremely young head coach. He's been the
1798
01:29:36.560 --> 01:29:40.039
Jags OC this past year, but we know how involved
1799
01:29:40.079 --> 01:29:43.039
Cone is and you know just kind of what he is.
1800
01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:46.159
But those are some names I've heard some rumblings about
1801
01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:54.560
potentially happening, but I kinda could see it happening, but
1802
01:29:54.920 --> 01:29:58.279
I don't think either are completely realistic. And then is
1803
01:29:58.319 --> 01:30:00.239
the comic just meant to here? Yeah, Davis web but
1804
01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:04.479
another name those who don't know. He's the Broncos quarterbacks coach,
1805
01:30:05.000 --> 01:30:07.680
and again he's also somebody who young as well. He's
1806
01:30:07.720 --> 01:30:10.840
thirty years old. Finished playing for the Giants in twenty
1807
01:30:10.880 --> 01:30:13.800
twenty two. He became the Broncos QB coach in twenty
1808
01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:16.000
twenty three and was at that through twenty twenty four,
1809
01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:20.960
and then this past season he's been the Broncos offensive
1810
01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:24.640
pass game coordinator and QB coach, obviously learning at the
1811
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.319
feet of Sean Payton. Really good offensive mine, really good
1812
01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:31.880
red zone designer. I'm not completely opposed to Davis Webb.
1813
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:36.159
I just think he's so he's so raw. There's no
1814
01:30:37.640 --> 01:30:39.239
Davis Webb is like one of those like say he
1815
01:30:39.239 --> 01:30:41.000
got a head coaching job. Now, it's either one of
1816
01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:43.359
those moves where like in two seasons or maybe even one,
1817
01:30:43.439 --> 01:30:45.640
you're like, oh my god, I can't believe somebody hired
1818
01:30:45.720 --> 01:30:48.880
him with his lack of experience, Like that's absolutely crazy,
1819
01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:52.119
although again, his playing history was more off the field
1820
01:30:52.159 --> 01:30:53.840
than it was on the field. But I think he's
1821
01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:55.840
one of those hires if it were to happen, or
1822
01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:59.800
names where you know it's like, Wow, what a crazy hit,
1823
01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:03.079
that's amazing, or if it's like, wow, I can't believe
1824
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:06.359
somebody hired that guy. He has no experience. What a
1825
01:31:06.479 --> 01:31:12.079
dumpster fire that was? That type of deal. Yeah, I
1826
01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:17.159
throw him in. I throw him in that category there.
1827
01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:23.039
I'm just kind of seeing like type of deal. Those
1828
01:31:23.079 --> 01:31:25.439
are some last other names. Yeah, my top three are
1829
01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:28.039
Sorry I was reading comments as I'm kind of thinking
1830
01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:30.880
and talking here a little bit waxing poetically. My top
1831
01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:34.399
three Clint Kubiak, Chrishula, Jesse Minter. For what it's worth,
1832
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:37.439
I had Robert sala as my number two a day ago,
1833
01:31:37.520 --> 01:31:42.840
but then he got snatched up by the Titans. Gate says,
1834
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:46.039
what about the Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman I just
1835
01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:47.880
don't think he's leaving Notre Dame. I just don't think
1836
01:31:47.880 --> 01:31:51.720
it's happening. I don't think it's happening. J Clark says
1837
01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:55.800
after watching a few interviews, Webb has that aura and
1838
01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:59.880
that counts for something. I don't think, you know, sure
1839
01:32:00.359 --> 01:32:02.800
we're gonna or a farm for it? Why not? I
1840
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:04.760
just don't know enough of what he offers as like
1841
01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:09.319
a showrunner and ship steerer and all of that and
1842
01:32:09.359 --> 01:32:11.800
everything else in between. Exozos comes the people manage with
1843
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:16.079
pizza's a lot. So I don't know. I don't I
1844
01:32:16.119 --> 01:32:17.199
don't know. I don't know.
1845
01:32:18.239 --> 01:32:18.399
Oh.
1846
01:32:18.520 --> 01:32:22.720
With Peyton Manning ever coach, I don't know. I don't know.
1847
01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:25.279
I don't know. I don't think he wants to. There's
1848
01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:27.960
a lot of coaching's tough. Man. You're in the building
1849
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:30.520
like eighteen hours a day. You're like sleeping under your desk.
1850
01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:36.560
It's a grind. Like it's a real grind. Yeah, it's
1851
01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:39.880
a real grind. You know, it's not a grind. Getting
1852
01:32:39.920 --> 01:32:41.479
the best pizza in Buffalo, New York, and then is
1853
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:44.960
one pie pizza love that segue, sweet sauce pie cup
1854
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:49.760
and char pepperoni, homemade blue cheese, a catering division called
1855
01:32:49.840 --> 01:32:55.880
Elevated Catering. A Buffalo amazing, amazing, amazing food, however you
1856
01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:59.000
slice it. No pun intended there. I truly do believe
1857
01:32:59.000 --> 01:33:00.640
One Pie Pizza is the best piece. It's a Buffalo
1858
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:02.199
and I don't say that because they sponsor the show.
1859
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:03.800
They sponsor the show because I think they are the
1860
01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:06.000
best pizza in Buffalo. I had reached out to another
1861
01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:09.359
pizza spot for a potential sponsor. One Piece saw That
1862
01:33:09.800 --> 01:33:11.840
asked me to come on down. They gave me a
1863
01:33:11.880 --> 01:33:14.640
pie to sample and try, and I have never looked back.
1864
01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:18.920
Kayleb says, did they deliver to Houston. I wish they did.
1865
01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:22.079
I'll ask, but yeah, just I really do think they
1866
01:33:22.079 --> 01:33:23.600
are the best in Buffalo. And I don't say that
1867
01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:25.319
because they sponsored the show. They sponsor the show because
1868
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:27.079
I think they're the best. I tried their stuff. I've
1869
01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:30.479
never looked back. I like the way they just go
1870
01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:33.199
about their business and all the generosity to the city
1871
01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:36.439
and the community at large. Partnering with Roswell, partnering with
1872
01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:40.039
the SPCA, Toys for Tots, the Alzheimer's Foundation. They give
1873
01:33:40.079 --> 01:33:42.880
back in a lot of ways that they don't necessarily
1874
01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:45.760
have to. I always describe them as really good people
1875
01:33:46.079 --> 01:33:50.000
making really good food. They make an awesome breakfast pizza.
1876
01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:52.319
So if you're sad come Sunday morning because the bills
1877
01:33:52.359 --> 01:33:55.600
aren't playing, get yourself some one PI pizza breakfast pizza,
1878
01:33:55.680 --> 01:33:57.560
or just wait till the afternoon and get a regular pie.
1879
01:33:57.680 --> 01:34:00.159
If you get different toppings and veggies, they'll chop them
1880
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:02.680
all up evenly and sprinkle them across the pie. And again,
1881
01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:05.520
that homemade blue cheese is absolutely immaculate. And the catering
1882
01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:07.319
division is great too. So if you are putting on
1883
01:34:07.399 --> 01:34:10.319
an event, you know we put it in. You know
1884
01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:13.000
that little bean your bonnet. Now, if you're doing events
1885
01:34:13.000 --> 01:34:15.840
for the summer or grad parties or birthdays or different things,
1886
01:34:17.680 --> 01:34:20.600
put one pie out there and call up their catering
1887
01:34:20.640 --> 01:34:23.479
division Elevated Catering a Buffalo. I've had them do multiple
1888
01:34:23.560 --> 01:34:26.439
events for me each of the past summer's different family
1889
01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:28.760
events and functions and gatherings and all that kind of stuff,
1890
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:30.560
and it's hit every single time. And you can get
1891
01:34:30.600 --> 01:34:32.000
the pizza while you're doing it too, so you can
1892
01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:34.359
get like awesome chicken and rice dishes and different kinds
1893
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:36.199
of mac and cheeses and also still get the pizzas
1894
01:34:36.239 --> 01:34:41.159
on top of it. Awesome, awesome stuff. Get yourself some
1895
01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:43.279
one pie pizza. If you have not already, you will
1896
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:45.800
not be disappointed when you go there. Tell them disguise
1897
01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:49.680
Coverage or me or cover one sent you and treat
1898

our are, while you are at it. I'm falling apart,
1900
01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:01.760
falling apart. This episode was that's awesome, even though it
1901
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:05.760
was sad and frustrating. Again, if I didn't get to
1902
01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:09.600
a comment of yours or a thought of yours or anything,
1903
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:12.640
I sincerely, honestly like apologize. There were so many comments
1904
01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:13.840
in this episode. I didn't know if there would be
1905
01:35:13.880 --> 01:35:15.960
a lot of people tuning in to night or not,
1906
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:19.079
but there were a ton of people here and that
1907
01:35:19.159 --> 01:35:21.000
was awesome to see. So thank you everybody who tuned

1913
01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:46.159
man it's it's an interesting time for the Bills. It's
1914
01:35:47.039 --> 01:35:49.399
I already thought this is gonna be very pivotal and
1915
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:52.920
forming off season for the direction of the franchise before
1916
01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:54.840
McDermot got fired. Just with where they are, with some
1917
01:35:54.880 --> 01:35:57.159
of the cap where they are, with some of the
1918
01:35:57.159 --> 01:36:02.039
players they brought in, the draft picks they've made, I
1919
01:36:02.119 --> 01:36:07.600
kind of thought the defense was kind of gonna have
1920
01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:09.720
to cross the rubicon a little bit with what they've
1921
01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:12.119
been from a body type and archetype standpoint. As you
1922
01:36:12.199 --> 01:36:16.279
folks know, I've been talking about that so much last
1923
01:36:16.359 --> 01:36:18.560
year and a ton this season. So I thought they
1924
01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:20.720
had to make a lot of defensive changes to get
1925
01:36:20.720 --> 01:36:22.600
to where they need to be with the league trends
1926
01:36:22.640 --> 01:36:24.399
and the league meta. But they don't have a lot
1927
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:28.039
of caps based financial flexibility to do that. Draft picks
1928
01:36:28.039 --> 01:36:31.680
will kind of see extensions they've given out all this stuff.
1929
01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:33.159
I already thought that was gonna be kind of a
1930
01:36:33.199 --> 01:36:37.399
tough offseason and a big one for them, And now
1931
01:36:37.399 --> 01:36:39.920
with McDermott gone, it's even more so. This is we're
1932
01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:42.319
really now And I don't think this is anything revelatory
1933
01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:43.840
that I'm about to say, but we're going to point
1934
01:36:43.880 --> 01:36:47.479
to this offseason as such a pivotal moment in the
1935
01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:50.560
direction of this franchise. It's either going to be they
1936
01:36:50.560 --> 01:36:54.399
write the ship and things get better and they finally
1937
01:36:54.399 --> 01:36:58.159
get over the hump, or they stay the same and
1938
01:36:58.199 --> 01:36:59.920
it's like, oh, it wasn't McDermott, it wasn't the coke.
1939
01:37:00.439 --> 01:37:03.159
Or they tank and they plumb it like again. Another
1940
01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:05.399
thing I'm saying is revelatory or some brand new information.
1941
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:07.960
But this one's gonna go a long way. Alan is
1942
01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:11.680
getting into his thirties, that the cap hit is only
1943
01:37:11.720 --> 01:37:14.840
getting higher. They do have to retool, They do have
1944
01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:21.000
to write the ship like a true admiral Kamory well done. Yeah,
1945
01:37:21.439 --> 01:37:24.600
it's gonna be. It's just gonna be a very pivotabal
1946
01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:28.760
and formative offseason for what they do. How much roster
1947
01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.840
turnover is there, What coaching changes are there are we
1948
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:34.720
looking at? You know, a new head coach, offensive coordinator
1949
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:37.159
and defensive coordinator, you know, whoever they bring in. I
1950
01:37:37.159 --> 01:37:38.880
think again a lot of the names that I mentioned.
1951
01:37:39.439 --> 01:37:41.840
If they bring in Shula, he's also the defensive coordinator.
1952
01:37:41.840 --> 01:37:44.159
There will be a defensive coordinator, but he's running the defense.
1953
01:37:44.199 --> 01:37:46.039
If they bring in Clint Koby act they'll have an
1954
01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:49.640
offensive coordinator, but he's running the offense. But does Chris
1955
01:37:49.640 --> 01:37:52.960
Shula come in and Joe Brady stays right? Does Jesse
1956
01:37:53.039 --> 01:37:55.720
Minter come in and Joe Brady stays, Does Clint Kubiac
1957
01:37:55.760 --> 01:37:58.439
come in and Bobby Babbage stays? You know what defenses
1958
01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:02.279
get brought in player wise schematically? What offenses get brought
1959
01:38:02.279 --> 01:38:06.680
in player wise? Schematically? The changes? How hard does Bean
1960
01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:10.920
go to try and show that it was McDermott. Does
1961
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:13.640
he have some tricks off his sleeve that he's gonna
1962
01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:16.359
make or kind of try and go scorched earth to prove, Hey,
1963
01:38:16.680 --> 01:38:19.680
it was McDermott. I'm gonna really shine now? And does
1964
01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:23.800
that work or does he fail further? And it plunges
1965
01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:26.760
this team into the depths of hell from which they
1966
01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:32.000
never recover. Scary but potentially exciting. I'm gonna start to
1967
01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:36.000
dive into college tape soon, which is always a fun
1968
01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:38.439
thing for me. You've got free agent evaluations coming up,
1969
01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:44.760
college prospect evaluations coming up next week's episode. I will
1970
01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:47.439
likely I love all about admiral jokes. Everybody's putting in
1971
01:38:47.479 --> 01:38:49.640
the chat. It's awesome. Next week, I'm probably gonna do
1972
01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:51.880
a deep dive INDO season recap type of deal in
1973
01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:56.159
terms of positions, archetypes, things they need to change, things
1974
01:38:56.199 --> 01:38:58.640
they need to do, kind of lumping that in with
1975
01:38:58.920 --> 01:39:03.079
the free A class money cap space. We'll be diving
1976
01:39:03.079 --> 01:39:05.119
into all of that on this show, right like cap
1977
01:39:05.159 --> 01:39:07.439
moves that can be made, extensions that could or should
1978
01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:11.119
be made, guys who can be cut post June first designations,
1979
01:39:11.479 --> 01:39:15.199
all that stuff. I'll be outlining the kind of the
1980
01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:17.479
whole offseason schedule as we go for it in this week.
1981
01:39:17.680 --> 01:39:20.239
The McDermott firing and changes just kind of threw all
1982
01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:23.560
of that into flux. So yeah, I hope you continue
1983
01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:27.600
to join me every single week Live Tuesday, nine pm Eastern.
1984
01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:31.359
Here the cover one channel for disguised coverage. We're gonna
1985
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:36.479
be diving into everything, schematic x as and o's based structure,
1986
01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:39.720
player evaluations, fits, anything and everything. We're gonna be doing
1987
01:39:39.760 --> 01:39:41.760
a ton of deep dive in this offseason. I'm gonna
1988
01:39:41.760 --> 01:39:44.439
be doing another big deep dive film series like I
1989
01:39:44.479 --> 01:39:47.079
did a couple of seasons ago when I kind of
1990
01:39:47.119 --> 01:39:50.079
forecasted and predicted what the bills would be offensively with
1991
01:39:50.159 --> 01:39:53.319
condensed formations and league trends, and you know mc collins
1992
01:39:53.399 --> 01:39:55.319
came in and why they brought Homan and what it
1993
01:39:55.359 --> 01:39:57.479
was gonna mean and all of that. And we showed
1994
01:39:57.479 --> 01:39:59.640
tape of the Rams and the Lions and the Texans
1995
01:39:59.640 --> 01:40:01.880
offense the time as some examples of what teams are
1996
01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:04.640
doing with condensed formations to win. We're gonna be doing
1997
01:40:04.640 --> 01:40:06.600
that on the defensive side of the ball this offseason
1998
01:40:06.640 --> 01:40:08.680
to show the direction the Bills defense needs to go
1999
01:40:08.760 --> 01:40:11.279
in and why based on current league trends and meta
2000
01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:14.560
and all that stuff. So yeah, I hope you folks
2001
01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:18.479

was awesome. These episodes are always great. It's tough in
2021
01:41:12.319 --> 01:41:14.119
both because I feel like I can't get to everything
2022
01:41:14.159 --> 01:41:15.560
I want to speak to in my notes, but I
2023
01:41:15.600 --> 01:41:17.399
need to. But I also feel like I just want
2024
01:41:17.439 --> 01:41:19.239
to sit here and read through everybody's stuff in the

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.759
It's thirty eight. All bills can win. In here, Wake
2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.080
puts it down. The kick is on the way and
3
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.880
dock m the bell good one? How the hell that one.
4
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:11.560

Why not combat by my bell?
9
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.399
Jacksonville's perfect record on the line right here.
10
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:27.800
Quick.
11
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.480
Kicking, look excited.
12
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:54.640
Touchdown Kyle Williams touchdound amazing, unbelievable. They puttied william who's
13
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.520
has to full back and he scores a touchdown. It's
14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.719
wealthier to face tackle.
15
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.959

p r oh A n T. In this edition of
27
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.439
disguise coverage, where I've started kind of all over the place,
28
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.640
my mic was is over here, which is why it
29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.799
sounded far away to start the show. Buffalo Bill has
30
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.400
been eliminated from the playoffs after a loss that it
31
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.319
seems like they continue to have. They don't just lose,
32
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.680
They have art form type of losses, the type of
33
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.360
losses that names are given to and that are placed
34
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.719
on lists, and ones that seem to be burned and
35
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:32.960
seared into your brain forever. And following that loss in
36
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.360
Denver to the Broncos in overtime in the divisional round,
37
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.599
Buffalo Bill's head coach Sean McDermott was fired, Buffalo Bill's
38
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.000
GM Brandon Bean, was promoted, and suddenly this Bill's organization
39
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:50.000
team franchise has kind of been thrust or plunged into chaos,
40
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.199
and we're going to talk about that chaos, some of
41
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.599
that chaos tonight. We are going to lead off this
42
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.719
show talking about the firing of Sean McDermott, the promotion
43
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.759
of Bean. If you're watching the show live right now,
44
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.560
we're listening to it, you know, early Wednesday morning. Brandon
45
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.960
Bean and Terry Paguler schedule to have a press conference
46
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.439
Wednesday the twenty first at ten am, so we'll get
47
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.400
some more answers there. But we're going to dive into
48
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.759
just kind of the firing, you know McDermott, How deserved
49
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.520
was it, how not deserved was it, the way it
50
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.039
was handled, everything time to being the roster, the on
51
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.319
field stuff, all that. We're gonna have a discussion on that.
52
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.599
Put a bow on that. Part of the reason I
53
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.439
wanted to lead off with that in this episode is
54
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.439
because there's a lot of you in the comments and
55
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.120
chat are already kind of putting through. We like to
56
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.800
make the show very engaging, you know, the brand in general,
57
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.240
but especially on the show. I like to make it
58
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.000
as engaging as possible, and I know a lot of
59
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.439
you have thoughts, questions, comments concerned. So we'll lead off
60
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.520
with that, put a bow on it, put it to
61
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.199
rest as much as we can, even though it will
62
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.639
not be put to rest for likely a very long time.
63
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.840
And then after that, we're going to dive into several
64
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.719
head coaching candidates that appear to be on the Buffalo
65
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.840
Bill's radar that also I think would make sense that
66
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.199
I like pros cons ranking them, you know, what they
67
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.240
bring schematically, what they bring from a philosophical or from
68
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.599
an identity perspective, who they kind of are as people,
69
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.319
and some of their journeys and steps. So I think
70
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.159
I think this will be a fun episode, even though
71
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.439
it's painful because football is pain. Sports are pain is
72
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.720
the comment just came in now from fireplays on mc
73
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.959
top three head coach wish list. We're going to get
74
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.800
into that in this episode. I'm gonna be detailing several
75
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.360
guys that you know, are out there that I think
76
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.279
makes sense, that are potentially, you know, rumored to be
77
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.759
on the Bills radar. You know, after Sean mcdermnal was fired,
78
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.759
it was reported that the Bills were starting to put
79
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.079
together head coaching candidate lists yesterday. So it's it's just
80
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.480
a very interesting way that things are going about. But yeah,
81
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.160
we're gonna talk about the head coaching spot. To the
82
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.839
comment that just came in, Yes, we're going to talk
83
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.160
about for for a lot of these right head coach
84
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.120
that comes in, who would be the defensive coordinator, who
85
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.439
would kind of be the offensive coordinator? If it's a
86
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.720
defensive minded guy. Are they calling plays if it's an
87
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.839
offensive minded guy, or they calling the place so you
88
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.240
don't really need no CE or a DC depending on
89
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.040
what side of the ball they're on, all that kind
90
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.120
of stuff. So, yeah, we'll be diving into that for
91
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.199
a bunch of these candidates. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, anything
92
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:23.720
from anyone that you you know, have on your mind. Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, beliefs, philosophies, ideologies, maxim's, theorems,
93
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.519
all that kind of stuff. We're gonna be diving into
94
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.399
a bunch of that to start the show and go
95
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.160
through and throw up the banner. Now, that says Sean
96
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.480
McDermott fired, Brandon being promoted. Also, I just saw as
97
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.199
we started, my wife texts me shout out to my wife,
98
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:40.920
and I saw somebody mentioned in the comments as well.
99
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:49.319
Mike McDaniel just got hired as the Chargers offensive coordinator,
100
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.800
which I think is a good hire for them. And
101
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.160
I'm trying to fe man somebody already updated is Wikipedia page.
102
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.839
That's crazy. Yeah, mccannall just got hired as the Charges
103
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.319
offensive coordinator. So if you were a Mike McDaniel truther, uh,
104
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.879
wanted him to come to the Bills as an offensive coordinator,
105
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.000
as I did, but I didn't think it was likely.
106
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.639
I actually thought he would kind of push for another
107
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.160
head coaching job, So it's interesting that he's going to
108
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.519
be in OC. I think he's gonna do really well
109
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.199
with Herbert. I think McDaniel's a good offensive mind, good
110
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.439
run game design, which makes sense why he would mesh
111
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.040
well with Harbaugh. He just kind of gets away from
112
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.959
the run too easily or often. But playing under Jim Harbaugh,
113
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.480
I don't think that's gonna be a worried because he's
114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.920
a guy who's gonna preach, you know, to kind of
115
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.879
pound the rock. But good run game design from Mike McDaniel, Shanahan, tree,
116
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.199
formational manipulation, personnel dictation, all that kind of stuff. I
117
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.160
think a lot of what his offense was in Miami
118
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.639
was tailored and fit for TUA in terms of, you know,
119
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.879
the first read aspect, the timing and the precision of
120
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.240
it in that way. But I think he's a good
121
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.680
offensive mind, really good at the details, good at coaching
122
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.759
up the wide receiver room again, just design, calling, layering.
123
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.519
I think he's a good mind. He's somebody that I
124
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.720
would have took here in Buffalo. If you know, I
125
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.839
wasn't expecting Sean mcdermoy to get fired. One of the
126
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.839
snares I kept preaching was if Joe Brady were to
127
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.759
take a job elsewhere, or if Joe Brady were to
128
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.000
be let go, I would welcome Mike McDaniel with open
129
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.560
arms as the Bills offensive coordinator. But alas another one
130
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.759
potential head coach, potential offensive coordinator off the board. If
131
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.800
you were a believer in Robert sala As, I am
132
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.639
a bit. He was hired late last night slash early
133
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.920
this morning to be the head coach for the Tennessee Titans.
134
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.560
So we'll kind of see what happens going down the road.
135
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.680
As again more names continue to fall off. Jeff Haffley,
136
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.040
Packers defensive coordinator, who I really like in terms of
137
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.680
how creative he is schematically. He was hired, I believe
138
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.680
officially or heavily reported as the Dolphins head coach yesterday,
139
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.120
So another name off the board. Guys are starting to
140
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.319
drop and fall a little bit. Will continue to see
141
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.800
what they say. Again. As Michael says in the chat here,
142
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.160
that's such a sharp hire for the Chargers. It really is.
143
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.759
I feel like Herbert hasn't gotten a lot of support
144
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.319
throughout his tenure with the Chargers, and just everything's been
145
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.920
going on, and now you go into next year with
146
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.079
in theory, a healthy offensive line, which when healthy is good.
147
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.399
You get Rashaun Slater back, you get Joe Alt back.
148
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.279
Those are huge steps forward kind of having two strong
149
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.839
bookends there, and now you have Mike mccannie'll call them
150
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.480
plays and designing your offense. Man. Yeah, I think that's
151
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:18.839
where that is a sharp hire. I think it's a
152
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.839
good move for the Chargers, who just seem they're they're
153
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.079
kind of been, like obviously a couple steps back from Bills,
154
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.160
or who knows, maybe not anymore. The Chargers always seem
155
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.439
to just kind of charger themselves every year. It feels
156
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.000
like there's hype that they don't really you know, the
157
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.200
brass ring, they don't grab the hunt. They never can
158
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.919
get over, but kind of to a lower level than
159
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.639
the Bills. So it's funny kind of just watching them
160
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.360
pitter patter and like sputter around a bit. But I
161
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.519
think they're a good squad. They got good dudes, they
162
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.679
got horses on the offensive side, they got some horses
163
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.240
on the defensive side. I am one of those people
164
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.639
who thinks Justin Herbert is sweet and yeah, now you
165
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.360
got a really good offensive mind in that building. We'll
166
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.480
see what happens with Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator on that
167
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.799
side of the We'll be talking about him in tonight's episode.
168
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.080
But if he were to stay, Wow McDaniel on one side,
169
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.279
mentioned on the other, really fun, fun and cool stuff.
170
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:11.879
I'm gonna go back to the comments at the beginning,
171
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.240
and as this banner is up here now, Saint Sean
172
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.360
McDermott fire, Brandon be promoted. How does everybody feel about this? Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns.
173
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.559
Do you think the firing was justified? Do you think
174
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.360
it was justified but they didn't go about it the
175
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.240
right way? How do you feel about Brandon Bean? How
176
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.279
do you feel about the roster? Do you think one
177
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.039
of these two guys deserves more blame for the bills
178
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.279
failures year after year than the other? And why whatever
179
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.440
you got put it up into the chat. As always,
180
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.639
super chats get priority, and yeah, we're gonna go through
181
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.679
as many things as we can in tonight's episode. I
182
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.120
know there's a lot of thoughts on everyone's minds, so
183
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.919
kind of dive into it. No, I'm want to go
184
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.720
back to the very beginning. Marty says, how much dumping
185
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.639
on beat is on the schedule for tonight because I'm
186
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.559
ready to listen to all of it? Fair RJ No
187
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.960
too far? Rj RG says, so are we the Cleveland
188
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.639
Rounds now? Because it feels like we're the Cleveland Browns. No,
189
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.799
the Bills aren't there yet, Damn. Marty said they have
190
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.480
a good defense though. Kay Morris says, who do I fire? Now?
191
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:17.960
I know, I know, I know, I know. Uh ah,
192
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.000
great comedy from Jason. On tonight's episode of Disguy's coverage,
193
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.960
we discussed which is better to be admired or to
194
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.480
be an admiral. I do want to touch on that briefly.
195
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.200
And you know, the Bills ended up posting I didn't
196
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.679
watch it yet. They had dropped a little bit ago
197
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.360
as I was kind of preparing for the episode and
198
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.360
finishing daytime stuff. But I saw that they gave like
199
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.120
a nice farewell from the Bill's Twitter account to Sean McDermott.
200
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.639
But you know, in kind of relation to Jason's sweet
201
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.120
there just the optics of the firing of Sean McDermott
202
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.759
were so bad, like the that letter that press release,
203
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.480
I should say, and it not being proof read and
204
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.559
them trying to say has done an admirable job, but
205
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:04.360
instead they said, admire the fact that that didn't get check.
206
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.120
And I understand that people kind of make error. Somebody
207
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.799
makes a typo and doesn't catch it, but did nobody
208
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.159
else proof read it? And no one else was able
209
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.759
to catch it, or did nobody care enough to proofread it,
210
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.519
and they were just like, yeah, whatever, that's fine. It
211
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.120
just I thought that really was such a good microcosm
212
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.480
of kind of the optics of the day yesterday for
213
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.879
the firing and for the Bills organization, where it was
214
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.519
just you know, the news was kind of shocking, but
215
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.879
the way it seemingly all went down, especially with that
216
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.000
press release. Yeah, just yeah. And for again, if you
217
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.399
don't know, the first line of the press release from
218
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.639
Terry Paguler from the Bills about you know, hey, Brandon
219
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.399
Bean is getting promoted, Sean McDermott is no longer with us.
220
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.200
The first line was, you know, Sean has done an
221
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.519
admirable or it meant to say Sean has done an
222
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.039
admirable job, but instead of admirable, they wrote admirble, not great.
223
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.960
Marty says, is everyone kind of in the fire. Both
224
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.159
of them came. So this was my thought, I and
225
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:01.639
I'm gonna leave with this. I'm gonna keep going back
226
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:02.799
to the comments. I kind of want to put it
227
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.679
out there rather than kind of beating around the bush
228
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.159
too much. I I think Sean McDermott is a fault
229
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.799
for a lot of things. Again, the idea for this
230
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.919
Bills team, right, was to win a Super Bowl. Year
231
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.639
after year They've been championship contenders. You want to win
232
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.919
your division, right, you want to get a high seed,
233
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.120
you want to make the playoffs with the goal of
234
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.480
winning a super Bowl or at least getting there. The
235
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.519
Bills did not. The Bills been to the AFC Championship
236
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.559
multiple times. They faltered multiple times this year. You know,
237
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.840
no Kansas City Chiefs, no Baltimore Ravens, no Joe Burrow,
238
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.559
even though really much of the Big Bad and the
239
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.639
AFC four you has been the Chiefs, And you know,
240
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.759
it was kind of like, okay, like can they do it?
241
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.679
If not? Now when it was being painted that way
242
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.840
by some of the fan base, but a lot of
243
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.879
that from the national media. However you slice it. The
244
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.120
Bills have failed to get over the hump. They failed
245
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:54.120
in the McDermott bean era, to accomplish the goals that
246
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.879
they set out and that the fan base came to expect,
247
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.559
which was win a Super Bowl or I think it
248
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.600
even some like just get like finally win the AFC,
249
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.320
get out of the AFC, and I think tied within that,
250
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.480
it wasn't just the you know, coming up short season
251
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.799
after season. It was the similar ways in which they
252
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.919
would come up short, where the defense just kind of
253
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.519
looks messy and ugly. Guys are banged up, the defensive
254
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.879
line looks toothless, like there's no pressure, there's no pass rush.
255
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.080
There's moments where it just seems like you're getting out coached,
256
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.480
you're getting taken advantage of the teams that you're playing
257
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.279
seem to have really good dudes on each side of
258
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.039
the ball, like all pro caliber guys and horses, and
259
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.720
you just kind of have Josh Allen and not much else.
260
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.879
It seems like year after year they were in the
261
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.120
same spot of how they would lose, the reasons for losing,
262
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.960
and kind of just not being able to get over
263
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.919
that hump right and within that. As I've said for
264
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.960
a couple of seasons, I was fine if Sean McDermott went.
265
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.120
I was fine if Sean McDermott state. I do not
266
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.279
think the grass is always greener On the other side,
267
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.440
I thought, if you fired Sean mcderm you could get
268
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.240
somebody who capitalizes on Josh Allen and builds the rest
269
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.120
of the roster, or does something great schematically and gets
270
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.799
you over the hump. Or you could plunge yourself into
271
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.000
horribly terrible depths and be worse than you've been for
272
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.919
the past couple of years. And I just thought it
273
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.519
was you know, there was an equal chance of having
274
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.600
both right, especially if you get a head coach that is,
275
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.399
you know, more of a coordinator and unproven. Even if
276
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.279
you get someone who is proven as a track record,
277
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.879
you still don't know what you're gonna get with them,
278
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.759
you know, in your building, with your team and these players,
279
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.519
so on and so forth. But you know, if you
280
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.279
wanted McDermot gone, I was fine with it. If you
281
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.159
wanted mcdermim to stay, I was fine with it. I
282
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.720
just didn't think the grass was always green on the
283
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.879
other side, and on the whole, I thought he was
284
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.799
a good coach and a guy running the ship, although
285
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.080
if you watch the show, you know I've had a
286
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.159
lot of issues with just kind of the schematic stuff
287
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.080
defensively in the playoffs, what they've been from a reactionary
288
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.720
standpoint versus a proactive play on the front foot type
289
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.200
of standpoint. And then my issues with the run defense
290
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.480
and how they built this roster on that side of
291
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:06.440
the ball kind of just behind the trends, behind the meta,
292
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.480
and how that's cost them and what that's done for
293
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.759
them from a negative standpoint. But for as much of
294
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.279
their you know, the failures and shortcomings for this team
295
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.600
fall on Sean McDermott, I think there's just as many
296
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:24.759
that fall on Brandon Bean. Brandon Bean's hands are bloody,
297
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.399
just like Sean McDermott's hands are bloody. Both of these
298
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.919
guys are extremely culpable. And my issue with how this
299
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.679
all went down was, you know, I thought, if you
300
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.240
fired Sean McDermott, okay, then you probably fire Bean clean
301
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.879
house all at once to kind of go from there.
302
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.919
And instead McDermott gets fired, Bean stays on, Bean gets
303
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.720
a promotion. Now you know, as a lot of people
304
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.720
have said and we alluded to on the Emergency Pod
305
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.600
yesterday here on Cover one, like we talked about, you know,
306
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.519
this could be being gets promoted to President Football Operations,
307
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.039
someone else takes over as the GM, right My issue
308
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.320
with that is still Bean is overseeing everything, and everything
309
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.440
is funneling into Bean, which is what will happen now
310
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.600
in that press release he got promoted to President of
311
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.600
Football Operations. He'll have oversight of the coaching staff and
312
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.840
the day to day so you know, a new GM
313
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.039
is going to report to him. The head coach and
314
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.120
the coaching staff will report to him like it all goes.
315
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.120
He's at the top of the pyramid, like Brandon Bean
316
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.919
is running the show right now. And my issue with
317
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.639
that is, again for the shortcomings of this team, I
318
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.000
thought Brandon Bean was very culpable and had a lot
319
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.120
of blood on his hands, just like Sean McDermott. Did.
320
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.279
You know more reports have come out in the past
321
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.320
couple of days of them, you know, each reporting to
322
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.519
Pagula and each having decision making power and so on
323
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.919
and so forth. But I kind of always just assumed that,
324
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.679
you know, I thought they were in lockstep for a
325
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.320
lot of years, we started to see some breadcrumbs a
326
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.519
little bit that showed that they might not be. But
327
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.320
when it came to building this team and building this
328
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.320
roster on the field stuff, Yes, Sean McDermott is coaching
329
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.519
this team, developing or not developing this team, schematically running
330
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.440
this team, making the in game decisions, all of that.
331
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.600
But when it came to building this team from an
332
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:08.559
identity standpoint, roster standpoint, philosophy standpoint, you got a bunch
333
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.440
of Bean and you got a bunch of McDermott, and
334
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.920
I thought they were just both culpable and each had
335
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.079
blood on their hands in the failures of this team,
336
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.119
and jettison ing Sean McDermott while leaving Brandon Bean to
337
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.079
me makes it appear like, no, no, no, McDermott was at
338
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.880
fault for everything. All the bad stuff was because of
339
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.720
McDermott being is fine, And who knows, Maybe that's what
340
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.400
it is. Maybe all the bad roster moves, all the
341
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.799
bad things that have plagued this team from a roster
342
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.400
construction standpoint, maybe they were all Sean McDermott. Maybe Bean's
343
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.039
hands are clean, They're not, But who knows. Maybe they are.
344
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.880
Maybe Bean has wanted to move in a different direction
345
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.480
schematically with the defense, but McDermott wanted to hold true
346
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.599
to what they've been and so that's why we saw
347
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.880
the players that were brought in for both of them
348
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.359
kind of in that regard or for the defense and
349
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.799
offensively all of that. You know, I just think it's
350
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.160
hard to parse who was responsible for what. There was
351
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.079
a lot of collaboration. I think there was a lot
352
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:08.240
of like mindedness between the two obviously that kind of
353
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.759
they each went their separate ways literally and figuravely as
354
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.240
the season kind of went on. But I think for again,
355
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.400
for as many shortcomings as Sean McDermott has had, and
356
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.079
he does have them, I'm not here to say Sean
357
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.519
McDermott was innocent and he shouldn't have gotten fired. But
358
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.000
I just think the optics of it are bad, especially
359
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.920
considering how much conversation was had this year, specifically on
360
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.440
the roster talent or not having talent, the receiver question,
361
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.680
how prickly Bean was, you know, on the radio when
362
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.559
it came to the receiver room, and then how much
363
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.680
of a receiver, how much of a problem the receiver
364
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.119
room kind of was as the season went on, and
365
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.240
how we just bristled at that notion and how that looked.
366
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.119
I just think the optics of it are all bad,
367
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.039
you know, and I do think there is something to
368
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:51.680
be said for you know, you know, if you want
369
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.279
to keep being on kind of like how they kept
370
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.400
way Leon when McDermott took over, you know, do you
371
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.960
want to keep somebody on to have that consistency. And
372
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.759
then I was like, Okay, maybe they'll let Bean go
373
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.079
after the draft, but no, he's getting a promotion, Sean
374
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.200
mcdermot's out. I just think the optics of it are bad.
375
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.759
From the outside they look bad. I think from within
376
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.279
the fan base they look bad, and national media wise
377
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.119
they look bad. It all just really kind of comes
378
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.920
out of comes out as you know, Brandon Bean having
379
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.839
Terry Pagoola's ear, whispering in that ear like the Lord
380
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.720
of the Rings meme for the dude who king I
381
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.039
should know this Faden, I think whatever, when he's essentially
382
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.079
kind of like a shell of himself and wormtung or
383
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.119
whatever is in his ear like whispering and like kind
384
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.880
of controlling him and doing all that stuff, it kind
385
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.720
of comes along almost gross like that, as if like
386
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.000
Bean is up in the box with Terry Pagoula during
387
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.000
a Bills game and something bad happens on the field
388
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.079
and Bean leans over and is like, you know, see,
389
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.200
that's that's why I didn't want that guy. Sean wanted
390
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.279
that guy. That guy that just dropped that pass. I
391
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.440
didn't want that guy. Sean wanted that guy. But I
392
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.880
was trying to be nice to Sean and kind of
393
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.039
give him what he wanted. And look at that guy
394
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.279
dropped that pass. That's that's a Sean McDermot guy. Somebody
395
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:02.680
missed the tackle, Being would and Terry would be like, oh,
396
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.559
how come that guy missed the tackle, and being Will
397
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:06.400
be like, that's good. That's a Sean McDermott guy. That's
398
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.359
why I didn't want that guy. I wanted somebody else,
399
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.720
but Sean wanted that guy. It just the optics of
400
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.400
it are just really ugly, really bad. And then you
401
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:18.279
pair that with the press release and more reports coming
402
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.160
from you know, the players being super shocked and not
403
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.839
liking how it went down, different reports coming from the
404
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.559
local media, and there's just optically it's just bad. It's ugly,
405
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.680
and I feel like Sean McDermott, you know, bears a
406
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.480
lot of the blame for this team not getting over
407
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.759
the hump, but I also feel like Brandon Bean does
408
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.119
as well, and that's my biggest thing with all of them.
409
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:43.359
My issue is necessarily Sean McDermott being fired. It's McDermott
410
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.200
being fired, being staying and being getting promoted because I
411
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.759
just felt like they were both you could say equal,
412
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.160
you could say one over the other, but they were
413
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.519
both extremely culpable when it came to this team's shortcomings.
414
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.200
Both had a lot of blood on their hands, and
415
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.839
it just optically, I just don't think this looks good
416
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.839
and I don't like it just with how it's kind
417
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.920
of playing out. And again, even if you know, Bean
418
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.960
is going to really be, you know, more of a
419
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.200
true president overseeing everything right, and there's gonna be a
420
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:16.200
new GM, whether it's Terrence Gray, Brian Gain, Internal, or
421
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.640
somebody else. But if it's internal, they're probably gonna share
422
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:21.640
a lot of Bean's vision. Bean is still going to
423
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.119
be in charge of everything. At the end of the day,
424
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.599
they're still reporting to Bean. So this team is really
425
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.599
gonna take on Brandon Bean's vision, and Brandon Bean's wants
426
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.920
and desires, and then a new head coach that comes
427
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.880
in is going to have to be in lockstep with
428
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.640
Bean and or is reporting to Bean. So, like, what
429
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.160
does that dynamic look like? Do coaches who are potentially
430
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.559
coming in and interviewing not like that dynamic? Do they
431
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.799
not want to report to Bean in that way? If
432
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.319
they have a different vision? You know, who knows? Maybe
433
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.480
you know, for as much as people like Clint Kubiak,
434
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.200
maybe he and Brandon Bean are just opposed in certain areas,
435
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.039
and so Clint Kubiak is like, no, thank you, Like
436
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:56.319
I'm gonna turn this down. I don't want to have
437
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.200
to report to that guy. Or I just don't think
438
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.559
we click and vibe and see things the same same light.
439
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.720
It just all kind of stacks and compels. And again,
440
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.480
time will tell for everything right, time will really tell
441
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.000
how much of the problem with Sean McDermott. How much
442
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.759
of the problem was Brandon Bean? Can a new coach
443
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:14.559
fix everything? Was it certain players that were the problem?
444
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.759
How much turnover will we see with this roster? How
445
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.359
much churn will there be? You know, do they start
446
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.000
to move in new directions? And even then you could
447
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.319
still play devil's advocate and be like, well, maybe Bean
448
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.279
is just doing this to placate the fans and make
449
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:29.359
it seem like this and that there's just at the
450
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.720
end of the day, it's just a lot of drama,
451
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.039
a lot of poor optics, a lot of messiness and
452
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.279
muddiness and murkiness, and a lot of things that I
453
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:40.039
don't think contribute positively to a team and an organization
454
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.119
that are trying to get to a Super Bowl. And again,
455
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.720
who knows, Time will tell. Maybe this will be better
456
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.759
for twenty twenty six, Maybe it'll be better in the
457
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.400
long run. Maybe this is the wound that had to
458
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.720
be cleaned out so this team could move forward. Time
459
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:58.640
will tell. It's just I just think Brandon Bean deserves
460
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.279
a good chunk of blamed, just like Sean McDermott deserves
461
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:05.759
a good chunk of blame. And and yeah, and just
462
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.000
the way it went down, how McDermot got fired, how
463
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.839
the organization responded, I just didn't like the optics of it.
464
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.000
As a like a person, I just think, again, whether
465
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.000
you wanted Sean McDermott fired or not, I don't think
466
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.039
a person should be treated that way or have such
467
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.000
a poor initial sendoff, especially one who has done so
468
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.319
much for this team. Again, the team didn't win the
469
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.200
Super Bowl, didn't accomplish what they wanted to. Sean McDermott
470
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.400
completely turned this team around, from a culture standpoint, from
471
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.839
an identity standpoint, from a free agent destination standpoint, to
472
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.279
a veteran trying to win a chip type of standpoint,
473
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.599
to rookies coming in and wanted to come to play
474
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.400
in Buffalo. He did a lot, and I think he
475
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.240
deserved a better send off. I think he deserved a
476
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.160
better way out, you know, from a large scale perspective
477
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:45.240
with all the just and then just from logistically how
478
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.440
this team was built. I think him being both had
479
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:53.279
bloody hands in this regard. But chiefs Den, let's go
480
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:55.079
forward and see a bunch of comments as we go through.
481
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.839
Gage says, I'm so ready for a schematic change on defense.
482
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.880
Me too, Me too. We have no capital in the
483
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.200
draft or cap, so I doubt it, but I'd love
484
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.119
a hybrid or three four scheme. Lord, please give me
485
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.079
bend on the edge. I feel like this comment was
486
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.519
written for me. I don't think there's any one right
487
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.119
way to build a defense. But regular listeners of the
488
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.240
show do know that, you know, Yeah, I'm more of
489
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.920
a three to four guy. I'm more of a hybrid
490
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.079
defense type of dude. I do like bend on the
491
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.599
edge and athleticism on the edge. And we'll see. I
492
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.279
think that's an interesting part with several of the head
493
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.480
coaching candidates we're gonna get into this episode with is
494
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.720
who they are schematically in philosophy and how that does
495
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.480
or doesn't jive with the current roster players they have
496
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:39.079
and what the bills have been in the past. And
497
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.799
I think that's an interesting kind of inflection point potentially.
498
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.200
But yeah, I wanted to skimatic change for years, and
499
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:48.240
we don't have a ton of capital or cap space.
500
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.400
We can make some cap space. There are guys who
501
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.279
can be cut, moved, extended, all those things. We'll get
502
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.079
into that throughout the off season here on the show.
503
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.519
But yeah, we'll kind of see, well kind of see
504
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.000
coming here from Forrest of Sleep saying I don't know
505
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.759
how Bean wins the room back. I think that's a
506
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.119
fair comment, especially with again how everything looks optically right now.
507
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:11.920
It just seems I mean, you've got people out there
508
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.079
putting memes of like Brandon Bean and it says like
509
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.079
snake behind him, Like, that's that's how it comes across
510
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.720
to the public at this point. And yeah, it's tough.
511
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.079
You know, perception is reality, and I feel that. I
512
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.519
think that's a very poigtant comment Marty saying, do we
513
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.279
know the players are mad versus upset? I think the
514
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:38.440
players are more shocked and or upset and how everything
515
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.680
went down with how McDermott was let go and the
516
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.440
process of like and how things kind of played out.
517
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.279
I don't know how you to find mad versus upset.
518
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:50.559
I think they are. I think they're I think they're
519
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.000
not pleased with how he was let go.
520
00:25:53.559 --> 00:26:00.160
I'll put it that way, Okay, Morris is I think
521
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.559
a lot of people are forgetting about a lot of
522
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:03.720
the good that being has done over his time the
523
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.599
last one to two years.
524
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.599
I've really heard his public image, but what preceded that
525
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.759
was really good. Yeah, I've never been you know, super
526
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.880
on that train. That Bean has done a horrible job.
527
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.720
He's had a bunch of misses, but everybody kind of
528
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.799
has a bunch of misses. I would have liked more
529
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.559
impact players on this roster at a certain point, but
530
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:22.759
I think he and Sean McDermott have done a really
531
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.920
good job creating a high floor type of team. Now
532
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.359
they necessarily haven't had the high ceiling guys, they haven't
533
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.279
had those A tier S tier type of guys. But
534
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:32.960
I think I've done a pretty good job putting together
535
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.680
a roster of B minus to be maybe some B
536
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.839
plus type of guys here and there. And my whole
537
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.079
thing again with isn't saying that Bean has done a
538
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:44.240
horrible job. I do think there have been a lot
539
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.759
of questionable moves by being just like I think there's
540
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:49.319
been a lot of questionable moves from McDermott. My whole
541
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.799
frustration with this situation was more of again, I think
542
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.880
they're equally culpable in the failures of this team, or
543
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.480
close to being not even if you don't think it's equal,
544
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.599
they're both significantly holpable when it comes to the failures
545
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.880
of this team or this team coming up short and
546
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.839
getting rid of one and not getting rid of the other.
547
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:10.160
To me just doesn't seem right considering again how culpable,
548
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:13.440
you know, how significantly culpable they each are. But yeah,
549
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:15.559
I think Bean has done some good, just like he's
550
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:17.720
done some bad, which is even can make that case
551
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.079
for a lot of GMS. Nobody has one hundred percent
552
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.720
hit rate anywhere for anything. R J saying tomorrow's presser
553
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.559
will be the most listened to presser in the history
554
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.440
of sports. Yeah, I'm already trying figure out my workday
555
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.720
and what I can do to kind of get on
556
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:33.359
some things. Uh By fireplays on MC. We were going
557
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:34.960
to talk about that my top three head coach which
558
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.599
list we're going to get into that. Don't do this,
559
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.440
Kate Morriy Kmorey says Belichick, Gruden and Tomlin, Right, just kidding, No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
560
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.400
Claus As, I spent all Sunday avoiding media. I've spent
561
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.680
a lot of time avoiding everything. I still haven't even
562
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.880
finished the tape. I haven't wanted to watch the tape.
563
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.079
I've just been going to bits and pieces here and
564
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:54.920
there in different moments. Yeah, I really haven't wanted to
565
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:57.000
do anything. I don't even want to watch the game Sunday.
566
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.400
Everything that's going on, it's just it all sucks. Question here,
567
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.279
is Josh required to do an end of season meeting
568
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:06.279
with the media. I don't know if required is the
569
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:10.599
right word or I can say required, but he usually
570
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.279
does something. He has been very quiet. We'll see. I
571
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.880
think at some point he needs to say something just
572
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.759
because of his status on the team and who he
573
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.359
is and what he is. Got our first Clint Kubiak
574
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:28.200
mentioned here. Jeffery says one Shanahan trade, two Bruce Arians
575
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:31.119
three Davis web Oh, Shannahan trade is interesting. Gage, just
576
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.920
give me Shula. We're gonna talk about Shula in this episode.
577
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:36.839
R J saying I think the correct move was either
578
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.759
fire Bean or fire Bean and McDermott this was the
579
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.559
worst option where the untalented snake is still here. It's
580
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.240
like we lost the culture and still have a bad GM.
581
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:56.799
By ba Fa fair point. I'm already saying Shanahan would
582
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:58.599
be interesting if he wouldn't probably require first. I would
583
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:00.720
take Kyle Shanahan and a heartbeat. I don't want to
584
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.039
have to give up picks for a coach, but I
585
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:08.680
really do value Kyle Shanahan a lot. By Eric saying
586
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:13.519
Clint with aident I always mispronounced dirt A's or Dird's
587
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:16.039
like last name. But yeah, So Clint Kootbiack essentially with
588
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:18.759
the Seahawks defensive coordinator and then saying Carl Scott or
589
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.680
Jim Schwartz is a name of people. A lot of
590
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.960
him bringing that up, his name up a lot, came Moore.
591
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.039
He's saying, Mike mcganil doing better with Herbert than two
592
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.599
would be a huge few to the Miami organization. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
593
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.279
Jason saying, wait until McDaniel finds out how slow Herbert's
594
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.400
feet and movements are. Yeah, but his eyes are fast,
595
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.880
his processing is fast, and he got a cannon cannon
596
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:45.119
cannon cannon, Bill saying everything is on Bean now. He
597
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:47.799
has no more scapegoats. His drafts and free agent signings
598
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:50.160
have been poor at best. He better hit on this
599
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:53.480
or the mafia is going to be out of their minds. Ye.
600
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.680
Fair point. Also, and again that's part of the optics too,
601
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:01.000
Like I feel like you put yourself more under the
602
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:03.960
microscope because I don't think this is a move that
603
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:05.480
And again I don't know how they thought it was
604
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:07.839
going to be perceived. But if they thought like, okay,
605
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.599
well let go Sean McDermott, and people think like, oh okay,
606
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:12.720
he must have been the problem. And if anything, it's
607
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.599
been like a complete one eighty, like you've almost galvanized
608
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.400
everybody behind McDermott because you fired McDermott and kept beat
609
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:24.960
Yeah Jose saying are we ever going to win a
610
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:26.599
Super Bowl? I need hope, but I just don't have
611
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:28.839
hope anymore. I don't know, man. I just want hope too.
612
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:31.279
I just want one before I die. That's it. Not
613
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:32.920
to get too dramatic or anything. I just want one
614
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.400
before I die. I want to share a Super Bowl
615
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.559
with the older adults in my family that I grew
616
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:42.759
up watching the Bills with as a little kid. You
617
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:44.720
never know life is again, not to get too deep
618
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.359
or anything, but life is so fleeting and you never
619
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.440
know what can happen with anyone, and not even the
620
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:52.240
older adults, like the people that my family and friends
621
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:54.799
and loved ones who are are Bills fans. I want
622
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.960
to share in that and experience that, and you never
623
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:03.359
know when your last on earth could be. And I
624
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.119
want the Bill. I want to Bill super Bowl so bad.
625
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.359
As a Bills fan, I'm a I'm a bigger football
626
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.759
fan than I am a Bills fan, and so I
627
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.079
can still find things to appreciate in the game even
628
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:15.759
when the Bills lose or when the Bills come up
629
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.119
short and I enjoy the free agent process and the
630
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.039
evaluation process of college football and all of that. But yeah,
631
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:24.200
I want to build Super Bowl so bad man, and
632
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.039
I don't know I did. This was another one The
633
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:29.880
Bill's lost again, not to get too off the rails,
634
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.119
the Bill's lost to Denver, and I just I just
635
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.000
kind of stared into the void, like just staring at
636
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.240
the wall. I like, I just felt so empty again
637
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:43.200
in a way that I had in a while. Thirteen
638
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.359
seconds kind of killed a lot of my fandom and
639
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.680
crushed my soul and spirit. This one also kind of
640
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.480
got me a bit, just all the turnovers, the way
641
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:57.680
it ended, you had just blah blah blah. Let's go through.
642
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:04.319
Are just saying that division of the AFC West is
643
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:06.279
going to be an absolute nightmare next year to face.
644
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.519
I bet we win against Las Vegas and that's it. Yeah,
645
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:10.799
watch but watch Las Vegas get like Sean McDermott and
646
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.240
Fernando Mendoza and then go on a run or something crazy.
647
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:21.519
Um bum bum bum. Michael saying this might ow another
648
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.359
Shannan comment. This might be wild, but what are the
649
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.480
chances Shanahan could be available with the Niners? They have
650
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.720
an aging roster one year left. His dad always got Lway,
651
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.359
his dad got elweyh his Kyle could get it. For Josh,
652
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:34.160
he would get the respect. I just don't think the
653
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.119
Niners are gonna part ways with Shanahan, especially with all
654
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.279
the injuries this team had this this past year and
655
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:41.400
they still managed to be a final four team into
656
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.599
the NFC. Yeah, I know it's tough. Joey saying that
657
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.519
Minter would be his top choice. We're going to talk
658
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.079
about mister Jesse Mincher. I always want to say Mike Mincher,
659
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.200
the former safety for the Panthers, but that is not right.
660
00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:58.720
Fair uh comment here from Wiley's saying, I don't think
661
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.079
we know enough just yet. As for the inside politics,
662
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:04.799
that's fair. There are a lot of inter Even with
663
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.240
things being reported, there's still a lot of inner workings
664
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.000
that we don't know, which will be interesting to kind
665
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.319
of see what happens with the presser tomorrow. Oh, Caleb
666
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.200
saying I really like Brian Flores. Would love him on
667
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.920
the cast, even if it's just a coordinator position. Man.
668
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.440
I love his attack style, defense and the quarters pressures
669
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.359
and everything he does. That would be kind of cool.
670
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:24.640
But I think he's I don't know. I feel like
671
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.279
people are wary of him because if I was ten
672
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.319
year ended in Miami and just everything that kind of
673
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:31.160
came about after it. But I said, maybe a month
674
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:32.759
or so ago, I would not be opposed to Flores.
675
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:34.599
I just don't think it's likely, but I would not
676
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.920
be opposed to Florus. Jeremy saying Bean saved his job
677
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:41.799
by getting rid of McDermott. Now Bean's head and ego
678
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.880
will only get bigger. Fair. Yeah, I do think he
679
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.359
kind of politiced a bit and was doing the whispering
680
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:48.759
in the ear to kind of buddy up to Peoogla
681
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.079
and kind of save himself, which is what it is.
682
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.799
Daniel sam Bean deserved more blame, especially this season, Bob
683
00:33:58.039 --> 00:33:59.920
more of the way it happened. I thought a chain
684
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.920
was needed, but the process left a lot to be
685
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.720
desired being being promoted just reeks. I think it's a
686
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.440
very succinct way to put it. Yeah, I'm not I'm
687
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.039
not completely upset that McDermott got fired. I'm more just
688
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:12.239
the way it went down and being staying and all
689
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.320
that kind of stuff. Oh hey, Ann, would we be
690
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.599
as mad as we are today about McDermott if he
691
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:23.840
was let go last year, I don't know. Again, I
692
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:26.320
think I think a lot of the feelings of people
693
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:29.400
being mad isn't really because of McDermott being let go.
694
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.800
It's how he was let go and being staying. I
695
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.480
think that's the big point. I don't think a lot
696
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.119
of people are up in arms like, oh McDermott was
697
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.599
an amazing coach. You know, maybe they are a little
698
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:43.599
bit because the emotion of how frustrated they are. But
699
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.559
I think it's more of how he was let go
700
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:48.039
and being staying and the optics of it all more
701
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:52.159
than anything. But that's a tough that's a really good
702
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:59.320
question though, that's a really good question. Com being common here,
703
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.519
I hated that being stays he gave mcdee a bucket
704
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:03.840
of rusty screws and striped nuts. Like, if we bring
705
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:05.480
in a good OC as a head coach, what will
706
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.960
we have to work with. I think Bean's ego is
707
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.719
an issue. I'm a Marty saying I don't mind that
708
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.320
people got fired. I just don't understand how being survived. Also,
709
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:18.880
their responses took too long.
710
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.280
Ooh.
711
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:22.119
Another comment here. I think it's a lot more likely
712
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.639
that the Bills do worse than McDermott than better, and
713
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:26.679
then a shoulder struggle momoji. Yeah, you never know what
714
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:28.119
you get on the other side, you get a new
715
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.039
head coach. Could be immensely better. You could be a
716
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.119
tiny bit better, you could be even, You could be worse,
717
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.400
you could be way worse. Never know. Life is like
718
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.639
a box of chocolate. Yeah. Comment from Forrest to sleep
719
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.559
the tribute seemed to daylight a dollar short. Yeah, Camp
720
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.679
saying the best guy on the market is McDermott, Just
721
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:50.559
go get him. Oh good line from Bob Bob saying
722
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.079
admirable is for a fifty to fifty coach, not a
723
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:58.679
coach who rebuilt the culture. Jason saying it's not a
724
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.679
championship roster like being I'm very concerned about being being
725
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:08.880
in charge of football operations. Ah, that's fair. Will saying
726
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:10.800
the interesting thing has been the silence on what Allan
727
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:13.360
thinks of this. No leaks of either he hated or
728
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:17.039
this is what he wanted, complete silence. I would imagine
729
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.920
they checked with him. I don't know. I don't try
730
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.760
to speculate too much on that kind of stuff, like
731
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.159
or kind of it. It's so muddy, but I would
732
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:30.280
imagine they checked with him. I would think maybe not,
733
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.880
I don't know. Com and saying listen to the fire
734
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.039
McDermott crowd and now completely melt down. It's funny to me.
735
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:40.880
Are j saying they should have came out today and
736
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:46.840
apologize for how it was all handled. They didn't do that. Yeah,
737
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.320
in this comment here, seriously so embarrassing. I'm just joining.
738
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.519
But the fact that they didn't post McDermott's no either.
739
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:51.840
Yeah.
740
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:56.079
The fact that I think Tom Pelsero posted it. That's
741
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:57.920
where I co tweeted it from. And yeah, I wasn't
742
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:07.039
on the bill's official page. Really unfortunate. Dan Jeremy saying
743
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.519
nine years and McDermott for that flaky letter with a
744
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:16.119
slap in the face. Uh yeah, comment here? Is it
745
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.400
not a little scary knowing who's guiding the ship as
746
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.079
the Patriots are Super Bowl bold? I don't even want
747
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:24.239
to open that door. But yeah, Claude saying mcdee was
748
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.920
consistently out coached, so he could have been fired at
749
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.719
any point after thirteen seconds. But if he's gone, Bean
750
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.599
should definitely be gone. He failed the cap, draft and
751
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:37.039
free agency. He failed Josh and McDermott very succinctly put.
752
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.679
I think that is a very fair comment and kind
753
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.079
of where my mind is at as well. Like McDermot
754
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:43.559
could have been gone at any point. I do think
755
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.639
he got out coached in a bunch of ways and
756
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.559
or didn't kind of mitigate things as much as he
757
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:51.159
could have as he could have at times. But yeah,
758
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.880
if he's gone, Bean should also be gone, and especially
759
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:55.760
this season, having this season to be the one where
760
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:57.480
I felt like they had a lot of injuries and
761
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.400
cobbled stuff together and be McDermott still made to do
762
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.559
some good things even though he still has bad things.
763
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:05.079
Like always again, it's it's such a messy ball. But
764
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:06.840
I think that's that's fair. It's a fair way to
765
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.880
kind of put it all. Charles saying, yeah, with being
766
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.000
getting promoted, does his name a GM. If so, Terrence
767
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:14.239
Gray had some overlap of Kubiak and Minnesota. Yeah, we
768
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.679
talked about that on the show yesterday. I do think
769
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:21.159
it's gonna end up being my thoughts being as president
770
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.960
of Football Operations. And then after after the draft it
771
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.760
becomes official where Terrence Gray or Brian Gain or somebody
772
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:30.239
is named the GM. But then again, like, are they
773
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.199
really the GM is more just a shadow position and
774
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.280
they're really just doing the bidding of Bean, and Bean
775
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:38.000
is still pulling the strings and running the show. That's
776
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:40.440
my bigger thing. Like if it's an internal hire, especially
777
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.639
one that was brought in by Bean and developed under
778
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.639
Bean and spent a lot of time with Bean, you're
779
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.480
it's still Braindon Bean one because he's still here. Two,
780
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:51.719
he's still the big boss who the GM is reporting.
781
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.599
Two Three it's still a guy from his tree. So
782
00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:58.000
it's still Braindon Bean. Even if they bring in another
783
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.239
GM and it's internal, Are they name a GM and
784
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:06.039
it's internal? To me, it's still braining be Daniel saying,
785
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:07.960
how do you put together the Bills week bottofy wide
786
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:09.559
receiver group but once again have a D line with
787
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:11.599
almost no pass rush and bad against the run and
788
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.239
get a promotion? Get a promotions at all caps no
789
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.480
offensive weapons, no defensive weapons and yeah, and then it
790
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:20.559
was funny too to see the report from Ian Rapaport
791
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.880
on NFL Network yesterday where he was talking about, you know, like,
792
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.039
oh McDermott, you know is done well, but it's time
793
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:30.000
for him to go. You know. He mentioned how the Bills.
794
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.400
This Bill's team with so many weapons, and how teams
795
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:34.760
around the league veiled that view them as being stocked
796
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:42.519
full of talent, and it was like, okay, yeah, okay, okay, what.
797
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:44.679
Let's go.
798
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.760
Oh nice, Bob says, the Savers are up four to
799
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.840
Oh that's very good to know. I'm recording that game,
800
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:52.719
so I'm excited to go and watch that. That's nice too.
801
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.199
They're gonna put up all the goals that they can
802
00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:00.239
uh engage, saying, God, please give me anutside linebacker get
803
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:03.599
to the QB in the playoffs. I am scrolling through
804
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:08.199
comments as we are going through, Well, I appreciate everyone.
805
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:09.920
I appreciate everyone's for being in here, and if you're
806
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:11.599
willing and able, please and thank you drop alke on
807
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:14.239
this video. Likes go a long way. But I'm also
808
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:16.159
kind of saying that as I scroll through and read,
809
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.599
because I'm looking it's really it's nine forty two real time.
810
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.559
I'm at nine to twenty in the comments, So it's awesome.
811
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:23.320
How many people we have in here, live over four
812
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.159
hundred people, that's super cool. And all the comments are
813
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.400
coming through, like I really wish I could just sit
814
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:32.719
and read every single one apologies if I don't. There's
815
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.840
so many comments. Everybody's crushing it tonight. I appreciate everyone.
816
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:40.400
Ah William coming through worm worm tongue and theadan. Oh okay,
817
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:43.400
I was right, thedan, okay, cool king theadan, yep, all
818
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.039
right cool. I was there and it was warm toung
819
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.079
alright cool. But yeah, now I'm at nine twenty two
820
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:49.320
in the comments, so I'm trying. There's a lot of comments.
821
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.320
You guys are absolutely crushing it. Guys and girls, whoever's there,
822
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:58.840
in all fairness of this one, so this comment Von
823
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:00.719
Miller was the death blow. He was supposed to get
824
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:03.280
us over the thirteen second hump, and all fairness with that,
825
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.119
I think von Miller did deliver. He just tore his
826
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:08.519
acl like. I thought that was a good signing. He
827
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.320
was every bit the closer he was supposed to be.
828
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:14.519
He just got hurt, which is unfortunate. Yeah, comment here,
829
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.920
are you superstitious about predicting a head coach like giving
830
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:18.800
a score prediction? Do you think not getting over the
831
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.519
hump is fifty to fifty McBean or one is more
832
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.159
to blame? I am superstitious about predicting a head coach
833
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:27.800
like a score prediction. Thank you very much for knowing me. Do.
834
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:29.719
I think not getting over the hump is fifty to
835
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:33.480
fifty for me. It's tough because I don't know how
836
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:37.760
much of the roster construction and roster building was Bean
837
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:41.440
or McDermott or both in conjunction with one another, Like
838
00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:45.000
I don't know how much ko Key on Coleman, for example,
839
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:47.480
did both of them think that was a great pick?
840
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.960
Or did Bean think it was great? Or did McDermott
841
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.400
think it was great? Like which moves did each one
842
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:54.920
pound the table? For which moves? Did they both pound
843
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:59.519
the table? For? You know, how much was McDermott involved
844
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:03.400
in any kind of extension moves or free agent dollars
845
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:05.360
and cap structure? You would think that most of that
846
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.199
is all being how much did they really talk? Obviously
847
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:11.679
there's obviously there's overlap. Obviously there's collaboration, And that's my
848
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:13.960
whole thing. Like it's so muddy. Both of their hands
849
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:18.480
are bloody, they're both culpable. I think not getting over
850
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:20.719
the hump for me, just because I have questions about
851
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.800
the roster and the on field stuff both. I think
852
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.000
it's fifty to fifty just based off of what. I
853
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:30.199
believe their roles and relationship to be equally having successes,
854
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:33.480
equally having failures shortcomings. I think maybe you could push
855
00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:35.519
into fifty five forty five one way or the other,
856
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.679
and I wouldn't fight you. You can Devil's advocate that
857
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:40.519
a good chunk. But I think it's pretty close to
858
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.400
fifty to fifty, which again is where a lot of
859
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:45.239
my frustration comes from, because I even if it's fifty
860
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:48.239
five to forty five, that's still pretty close. Even if
861
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:50.320
it's sixty forty again, and I don't think I don't
862
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.840
think it goes past sixty forty, Like that's at the
863
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.159
highest whether you think it's sixty forty McDermott or sixty
864
00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.960
forty bean, that's at the high end of it. For me.
865
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:05.280
I just think they're that culpable kind of equally mhmm
866
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.079
b b ba yep. VN was doing awesome until he
867
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:10.639
got hurt.
868
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:22.920
Bye ba ba Yeah, okay, okay, okay, wow man, you guys.
869
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:27.360
Everybody's crushing it all right, So I'm going to scrolling through.
870
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.639
Scrolling through, I just saw this comment in all caps.
871
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.559
I didn't know you can trade pricks for a head coach.
872
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:37.920
Ah will with cool comment Shula siel Ha house package
873
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.840
deal my mind. We're going to talk about that. We
874
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.800
are going to talk about that, all right. I'm gonna
875
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.159
start to move into some of these head coaching candidates.
876
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:53.440
If there's something I did not get to, I am now, wow,
877
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.400
you have no idea how much I've just been scrolling, scrolling,
878
00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.559
scrolling to finally get to kind of where we are. Oh,
879
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:00.239
in fair common here from James. It just came. It'll
880
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.199
be interesting to see who replaces Aaron Kromer. I keep
881
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:04.920
forgetting Aaron Kromer retired and he's been a huge part
882
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.559
of success for this team. Things are kind of just
883
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:13.239
falling all over. Uh. Yeah. If there's something I did
884
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:15.400
not get to that you commented, feel free to put
885
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:16.920
it up into the chat again. I'll see it as
886
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.920
I can get to kind of go from there. If
887
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:21.920
there's something you really want to get at me, get
888
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.280

889
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.159

892
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:33.719
Get at me in the discord if you're a Discord member,
893
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.000
If you're one of the insiders for the cover one stuff.
894
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:41.119
If you again, there were so many comments if I
895
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:43.280
feel terrible, but if I went through every single comment,
896
00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:45.400
we're going to be here until like one am, which
897
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:48.480
we kind of could do. But yeah, and again I
898
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:50.519
appreciate everybody coming in. These comments have been awesome. I
899
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.360
just want to sit. Honestly, I shouldn't have even prepared
900
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:53.760
a head coach. Think we should have just had a
901
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:57.480
whole live chat session on the McDermott firing and being
902
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:01.559
promotion and gone from there. I like that there was
903
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:06.039
a comment I wanted to get to from Forrest's Lee,
904
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.599
what do you think of the medical reports and how
905
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.519
that was handled. I did think this was interesting. I
906
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:14.199
think McDermott said all that stuff funneled into Bean, which
907
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:16.599
was why when he was asked about injury stuff, he
908
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:18.239
was kind of just being like, oh, what I'm told
909
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:20.719
or what I think, Like he didn't really know. I
910
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.440
think that's terrible, Like he should have an equal hand
911
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:25.559
in that he should know the injury status and injury
912
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:28.639
report status for his players and for his team. Again,
913
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:35.480
just messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy, messy.
914
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.519
Thank you very much, Brian for being here and for
915
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:41.760
your super chat. I'm assuming you or maybe you just
916
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:43.480
wanted to give out of the kindness of your heart,
917
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:45.159
but maybe you had a question or a thought that
918
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.400
went with a super chat. If you did, you don't
919
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.440
have to give another super chat. Just put your next
920
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:52.159
comment into the chat and I'll read it because I'll
921
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:53.480
assume that that was the one that was supposed to
922
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:54.719
come with the super chat. Or if you just wanted
923
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:56.320
to give a super chat, I'll take it and I
924
00:45:56.360 --> 00:46:00.800
appreciate it. Thank you very much. This is a good comment.
925
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:03.000
Jose Do you think Josh Allen has so much scar
926
00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.679
tissue when it comes to gut wrenching losses that it's
927
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.760
going to affect him heavily the rest of his career
928
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.519
in the playoffs? Yes, I think there's something to be
929
00:46:11.599 --> 00:46:16.599
said for not even just Alan in general. I think
930
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:19.000
there's something to be said for building scar tissue and
931
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.400
having wounds, and you know, building calluses all these kind
932
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.000
of proverbials and how it toughens you and hardens you
933
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:27.239
and gets you experience and all that kind of stuff. Right,
934
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:32.599
I do think there's a certain point where it jumps
935
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:36.719
the shark a bit, and then it becomes more of
936
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:39.119
a hindrance than it does, like a character building type
937
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:41.480
of moment. I don't know what that is for everybody.
938
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:44.519
It's different for everybody, for teams, for individuals, all that
939
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.239
kind of stuff. Oh, thank you, Brian, I appreciate it.
940
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:49.719
Brian said, not just a tip, just a tip, nothing
941
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:51.480
at a smiley face. I appreciate you, Brian. I think
942
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:55.440
you're very much. Yeah. I think at a certain point,
943
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:58.039
all that scar tissue and all that losing, you know,
944
00:46:58.079 --> 00:46:59.639
I think it gets to a point where it's like
945
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:03.400
character Bill's character, Bill's character, Bill's character, and then you
946
00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:05.519
start to go down the roller coaster as opposed to
947
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.920
keep going up and ascending. At a certain point, it
948
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.159
breaks you, I think, you know, to someone else's point though,
949
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:16.039
who came in and said it. You know Lway, you
950
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:18.599
know this comment from from Steve Elway lost multiple super
951
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:21.840
Bowls and got through it. Steve Young, you know, had
952
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:23.960
a bunch of challenges. You know, takes over from Montana.
953
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.519
He has the famous you know, wins the super Bowl
954
00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:28.159
and then he's like, you know, take this monkey off
955
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.119
my back. You know, he was feeling so much pressure
956
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:33.639
for that franchise, So there there is ways to get
957
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.000
it done right eventually. But I also think too, just
958
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.119
in general, like it's so hard to win a championship
959
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:40.920
in any sport, Like you have to be good and
960
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:42.440
you have to have luck on your side, like the
961
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:44.679
stars really do have to align for any team to
962
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:48.400
win a Super Bowl, in a championship in any sport,
963
00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:50.480
and even get even with this Bills team not to
964
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.840
kind of get to you know, focus in or hone
965
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.519
in on the Broncos game. Five turnovers right, some poor
966
00:47:56.599 --> 00:48:01.159
throws and decisions from Allen, right, you know, giveaways that
967
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.559
get led directly to points for the Broncos, missed opportunities
968
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.400
and capitalizations, multiple you know, muddy calls from the raft,
969
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:10.920
and they still lost by three in overtime, even with
970
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:14.239
all these things going wrong, even with the roster not
971
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:16.599
having a bunch of studs or dudes on it, even
972
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:20.480
with all the injuries and all the poor performances in games,
973
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:23.719
and as limited as McDermot or Bean might be or
974
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:27.840
Babbitte or Brady or whoever, they barely lost in this game.
975
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:29.840
And I know this isn't like you know, close only
976
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.239
counts and horseshes and grenades. I know that this isn't
977
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:34.800
a silver lining type of deal, but think about how
978
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.280
all these things went wrong or not even put in
979
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.480
an air quotes did go wrong, and they just barely
980
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.440
lost like they could easily be in the AFC Championship
981
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.280
this week, which is what makes this loss even more
982
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.480
painful and more hurtful. You never know, just takes a
983
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.039
couple of bounces going your way. But I do think
984
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:53.880
the good teams figure out the way to make the
985
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.199
ball bounce in their favor more often than not. But yeah,
986
00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.960
that Allen piece, who knows. Maybe it scars him too much.
987
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.119
Maybe it's some of the sticks in his head and
988
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:02.760
every time he gets into the playoffs, it's in the
989
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:04.760
back of his mind and he presses a little too much.
990
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:05.360
You know.
991
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:09.880
Well we'll kind of see a little bit. But uh yeah,
992
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.760
I do think. I do think it's something that eventually
993
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.599
you have so much scar tissue. Eventually you jump the
994
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:16.440
shark and you start to you start to go downhill
995
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.760
for it, and it's it's instead of old building, character building,
996
00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:22.159
character building character eventually it kind of guts you. I
997
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:24.000
just think that's just human nature. It's got to it's
998
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:27.760
hard to just constantly get kicked in the teeth over
999
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:32.280
and over again and keep coming back for more. It's tough,
1000
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.239
very tough. All right. Now, we're gonna dive into some
1001
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:43.280
head coach candidate stuff. I wanted to as I say this,
1002
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.159
Oh I forget there was a you know, if somebody
1003
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:50.599
in the chant wants to do me a huge solid.
1004
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.159
There was multiple people will put out like tweets of
1005
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.679
like the Bills head coaching odds. Not that that necessarily
1006
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:58.119
matters like completely, you know, because the betting sites are
1007
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.639
betting sites and individual people or individual people like whatever.
1008
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:03.519
But there's some interesting names on those lists. I was
1009
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.000
gonna reference it a little bit, but the first name
1010
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.840
we're going to start with here, it's Seattle Seahawks offensive
1011
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:14.000
coordinator Clint Kubiak. Jeremy White of w g R tweeted
1012
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.760
yesterday something to the tune of, you know a little
1013
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:19.400
birdie who you know, the same little birdie who told
1014
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.880
him Sean McDermott was gonna get fired. That same little
1015
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.280
birdie told him like that move was made with Clint
1016
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.880
Kubiak in mind. So Clint Kubiak, that's the one who
1017
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:30.119
are gonna lead off with someone who I like. I
1018
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:34.280
mentioned him early in the season, maybe like octoberish in
1019
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:37.239
terms of what I like they were doing. And I
1020
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.519
like this comment here from any Trail boss saying my
1021
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:43.559
favorite was solid, but that's not happening. I also I
1022
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:46.360
also liked Robert Sala. I think he got a raw
1023
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.079
deal in New York. I think he's a good defensive mind.
1024
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:51.960
I think he's able to kind of, you know, mold
1025
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.599
with his players and what's available. But he's gone. So yeah,
1026
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:02.719
Clint Kubiak, offensive coordinat Seattle Seahawks, somebody who has been
1027
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.000
you know, the odds are in his favor from the
1028
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.239
betting sites of being the next potential Bills head coach.
1029
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:08.719
I think it's multiple sites with him as like the
1030
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:10.719
best betting odds. Again, I'm not putting that out there
1031
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:12.039
as like, so that's why I think he's gonna be
1032
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:13.840
the coach. I just think that's interesting. But yeah, that
1033
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.480
Jeremy White note I think was really really really interesting
1034
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:19.719
for those who don't know, kind of go to his
1035
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:22.880
last stops. Twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, he was the
1036
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.840
Vikings QB coach. He was the Vikings offensive coordinator in
1037
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:28.800
twenty twenty one. He was then the pass game coordinator
1038
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:31.239
and quarterbacks coach for the Broncos in twenty twenty two,
1039
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.280
the Niners passing game coordinator in twenty twenty three, the
1040
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.880
Saints offensive coordinator in twenty twenty four, and then the
1041
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:43.840
Seattle Seahawks coordinator here this year in twenty twenty five.
1042
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:48.960
I've watched a ton of Seahawks tape this year, offensively
1043
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.199
and defensively, because I like what they do offensively and
1044
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.599
I like what they do defensively. Plus I like a
1045
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:56.119
lot of dudes that they have. I love Kenneth Walker
1046
00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:59.360
coming out of the draft. JSN obviously is a monster,
1047
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:01.199
but Zach Sharp, he's a cool running back. Sucks that
1048
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:02.880
he tore his a cl but they got some cool
1049
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:06.800
offensive linemen and then defensively, just a bunch of dudes
1050
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:09.320
in a really cool scheme. So I watched a bunch
1051
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:15.960
of Seahawks tape this year and kind of in in October,
1052
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:17.880
like it was kind of floated. Something on the show
1053
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:19.000
was like, Oh, you know, who's the name that you
1054
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:20.920
would you know, look out for if Sean mcdermock got fired,
1055
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:22.159
if you had to pick an offensive guy. I was like, oh,
1056
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.880
Klink Kumbyak would be kind of cool, young up and
1057
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.280
coming offensive mine talk about some pros and cons for him.
1058
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.480
So pros he comes from that Shanahan offense. I think
1059
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:35.280
that's a pro because of how successful it is, how
1060
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:38.880
CB friendly it is, and again very much in that
1061
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:42.159
Shanahan mold, which honestly is tied to his dad, Gary
1062
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:46.480
Kubiak working with you know, Shanahan's dad, Mike Shanahan, and
1063
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:48.199
how they were on lockstep with everything. So it was
1064
00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:51.800
kind of you know, chicken and egg thing. But Clint Kubiak,
1065
00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:57.159
you know Shanahan offense formational and personnel manipulation and dictating
1066
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:00.239
to a defense. So you are using condensed formations, You're
1067
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:03.039
using tight ends, full backs, all that kind of stuff
1068
00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:06.039
to kind of force defenses into looks that you want
1069
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:09.400
and then using whatever they do against them. If they
1070
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:11.599
don't match the heavies, you're running it down their throat.
1071
00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:13.840
If they do match the heavies, your heavies are still
1072
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:17.559
a bit athletic, and so you could use that to
1073
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:20.599
generate some explosives. Jason says, with the Kubiak scheme be
1074
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:23.599
good for James Cook. I do think, so, you know,
1075
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:27.719
Kubiak Shanahan all that type of deal outside zone. You know,
1076
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.559
tack ties back to the Alex Gibbs Mike Shanahan days.
1077
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:33.480
Everything is outside zone. A lot of zone running that
1078
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:36.679
pairs well with the bootlegs and the play action. I
1079
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.960
think Kubiak also does a really good job of marrying
1080
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:42.039
the run in the past, as most Shanahan you know
1081
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:47.559
disciples do. But yeah, James Cook at Georgia was great
1082
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:50.679
as a zone runner and that's really what he was
1083
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:54.320
coming coming out and coming into Buffalo, him progressing as
1084
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:56.800
a gap scheme runner. So all the you know, the
1085
00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:59.639
blast counter stuff this year or the tackle poll stuff
1086
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:04.480
that is, you know, whether it's you know tackle you know,
1087
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:06.760
wrapping through or it's the long trap type of stuff
1088
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.199
where they're kicking out the edge. That's a gap scheme run. Technically,
1089
00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:12.159
Duo is a gap scheme run. It's power without a puller,
1090
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:14.079
but it kind of has some zone principles to it
1091
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.559
from a track perspective. But yeah, I think James Cook
1092
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:18.719
would excel in his zone scheme. You know, think of
1093
00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:21.960
all those mid zone runs, you know, mid zone week
1094
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:24.920
where you know there's like three guys over here to
1095
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:26.519
the right side of the line and they run to
1096
00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:28.440
the left and Cook bends it back. You know, whether
1097
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:30.119
it's a one cut or a two cut, he cuts
1098
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:33.719
it all the way back and bends it. Yeah, I
1099
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:36.840
think he would be uh successful h in that scheme
1100
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.920
one thousand percent. So yeah, Shanahan or not shannaan kubiakmar
1101
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:44.760
I don't want to say formational and personnel manipulation and dictation,
1102
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:47.599
Like I talked about heavy personnel to generate explosives, you know,
1103
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:50.559
going heavy to go, play action and take shots down
1104
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:54.559
the field, especially on early downs. Outside zone, marrying the
1105
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:57.360
run in the past, building counters off of that outside
1106
00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:59.039
zone again, a lot of times in the forms of
1107
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:01.880
play action marrying the run in the past, a lot
1108
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:04.280
of bootlegs, getting the quarterback on the move. Think of
1109
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:06.760
what Kyle Shanahan does with Brock Perdy, Think of what
1110
00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:09.280
Klint Kubiak has done with Sam Darnold. All the play
1111
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:13.599
action stuff under center, run game under center, play action,
1112
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:17.599
marrying those two, getting your quarterback on the move, layered
1113
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:21.280
passing concepts right into flood zones and create high lows
1114
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:25.440
and put defenders in conflict. Good stuff there. The biggest
1115
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:29.679
question for me is you know, he doesn't have head
1116
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:33.400
coaching experience. He's been an offensive coordinator three times, you know,
1117
00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:37.320
once in Minnesota again in twenty twenty one, in New
1118
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.800
Orleans last year in twenty twenty four, and then Seattle
1119
00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:41.840
this past season in twenty twenty five. So each time
1120
00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:44.760
he's been an offensive coordinator, he went somewhere else after.
1121
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:48.079
I believe for regime changes each time. So in Minnesota,
1122
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:50.400
you know, some Minnesota is the OC in twenty twenty one,
1123
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:53.079
then he's in Denver, he's the Saints OC last year.
1124
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:56.360
Now he's in Seattle. So you don't really necessarily know
1125
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:03.039
what's he going to be like year after you're building, developing, teaching,
1126
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:07.159
how sustainable everything is? Right? Can he develop players? Can
1127
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:09.880
he build and layer and grow a scheme along with
1128
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:13.280
the players and or the players? Also? Can he manage
1129
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:16.880
a team as a people manager like a coach needs
1130
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:18.760
to do. I think that's something gets lost in the
1131
00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:24.800
sauce a lot when you think about what a coach is.
1132
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.039
You know so much against me, especially right like I
1133
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:29.440
watch a ton of tape and all that stuff. Everything
1134
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:32.079
for me is x's and o's scheme and structure. But
1135
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:34.800
there's still like a people manager element to being a
1136
00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:38.199
head coach, a coordinator in general position coach as well,
1137
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:40.079
but especially a head coach. You have to be a
1138
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:42.480
people manager. You got to know your ex's and o's,
1139
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.199
but you also have to be a people manager. And
1140
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:47.320
some guys lean one way or the other. Right, Some
1141
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:49.360
guys are heavy x's and o's and they're so great
1142
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:52.559
at it that nothing else matters. Some guys are such
1143
00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:55.159
great people managers and they let the x's and o's
1144
00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.239
guys take care of everything, or they're able to identify
1145
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:01.119
those guys and go from there. But we don't know,
1146
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:04.239
you know, can he manage a team? I also just
1147
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:06.920
from the vibes of him, like as where he's been
1148
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.559
and like what his dad was like to like and
1149
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:11.440
just in general, we don't know. Is he the type
1150
00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:13.519
of guy who's like your quote unquote like leader of men?
1151
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.559
Is he the type of person that commands people's attention?
1152
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:19.800
Is he that people leader? Does he have it in him?
1153
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:22.119
We don't know. So those are the biggest cons for me.
1154
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.760
You know, one just not having a head coaching experience. Two,
1155
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:27.559
you know, what does he offer as like a you know,
1156
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:31.800
leader and commander? Two And then three, Yeah, you know,
1157
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:33.800
he's at a different stop every year, Like, we don't
1158
00:57:33.800 --> 00:57:35.880
know what year two of that Vikings offense would have
1159
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:37.679
looked like, or you're two of the Saints offense, or
1160
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:39.119
you know, maybe we don't know what year two of
1161
00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:41.880
the Seattle Seahawks. I don't know why I said it,
1162
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:43.920
like that, what year two of the Seahawks offense will
1163
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:45.559
look like if he leaves and goes to Buffalo or
1164
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:48.199
go someone else, And just Chris says here, we need
1165
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:50.159
someone who's been a head coach before. I think it's
1166
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:54.800
a fair point. You know, you especially now you know,
1167
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.400
to write the ship. Do you want someone who's shown
1168
00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.519
the ability to write the ship or steer the ship before?
1169
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:04.239
Or also kind of playing into that, knowing Bean is
1170
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:06.880
running the ship as the president of football operations and
1171
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.559
everything is funneling up to him, does it make it
1172
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:12.199
more likely that you do get a first time head
1173
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:15.119
coach because it's somebody who doesn't necessarily know the ways
1174
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:18.320
of the world and is more comfortable. Would Kubiak be
1175
00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:22.239
more comfortable coming in and taking this job than, you know,
1176
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:24.719
than Robert Salah would have because sala is, like, you
1177
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:27.320
know what I've done this before. I don't need to
1178
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:29.400
report to this guy in this manner. I don't need
1179
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:32.079
this type of structure, so on and so forth. Does
1180
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:35.079
an unproving guy like Kubiak say, you know what, Yeah,
1181
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:37.800
like I would like somebody to kind of oversee everything
1182
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.760
so I can focus on the x's and so on
1183
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:42.760
and so forth. But I think that's a fair point.
1184
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:49.679
This comment. Kubiak would be a great admiral. Well done,
1185
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:55.440
well done overall, I do like kling Kubiak. He I
1186
00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:56.960
also want to say this too, I think the Bills
1187
00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:00.199
go offense with their head coach. I think they go
1188
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:05.159
in that vein of the Andy Reid, Zach Taylor, Sean McVay,
1189
00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:09.119
shanahan type of deal where their head coach is, the
1190
00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:13.079
offensive coordinator is the play caller. Whoever their offensive coordinator
1191
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:17.320
is is really just kind of funneling into him. I think.
1192
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:20.800
I do think they lean offense. Whoever they go with
1193
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:24.159
in this coaching cycle, I do think they lean offense.
1194
00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:27.639
I think Kubiak makes a lot of sense for them.
1195
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:29.719
I also think from a personnel standpoint, he fits a
1196
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.000
lot with what they do, especially with what he's done
1197
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:35.880
this year. Multiple tight end looks heavy personnel under center
1198
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.679
I formation type of stuff like, it would be a
1199
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:43.360
pretty seamless transition with the personnel they already have. Offensively,
1200
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:45.679
it wouldn't be something where you know, you're not really
1201
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.039
gonna see his offense until year two or three because
1202
00:59:48.039 --> 00:59:50.239
they have to gut everything that they have and they
1203
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:51.639
got to bring in the right body types or the
1204
00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:56.639
right skill sets. So yeah, I think I do think
1205
00:59:56.639 --> 00:59:58.360
they lean offense. I think Kubiak makes a lot of
1206
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:01.719
sense with how they're already built. And yeah, I think
1207
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:03.719
I think the Bills kind of we're seeing that a lot. Right,
1208
01:00:03.719 --> 01:00:05.440
A lot of teams are just going in the offensive
1209
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:09.320
mind direction as they have the you know, really for
1210
01:00:09.360 --> 01:00:11.440
a while in terms of going with that, And again,
1211
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:14.039
I do think it makes sense for the Bills because
1212
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:16.079
you also think if you're going with a defensive head coach,
1213
01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:18.559
although I personally like that as well, if you go
1214
01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:21.559
to the defensive head coach, you're probably thinking, you know,
1215
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:23.679
if Allen does his thing in the offense, does this thing,
1216
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.800
your offensive coordinator is probably getting turned out every two
1217
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:28.800
to forty years because teams are gonna be like, wow,
1218
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:31.559
that offense looks great, let's pluck that guy and then
1219
01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:34.159
you constantly have to change the offensive coordinator, Whereas if
1220
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:37.840
you have an offensive coordinator head coach who's running the
1221
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:39.719
who's running the place and running the show on that
1222
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:41.840
side of the ball, you don't have to necessarily do
1223
01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:43.320
that as much, and maybe you don't worry about your
1224
01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:49.000
defensive coordinator getting plucked as much from there. But yeah,
1225
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:51.119
I like Kubiak. I've liked him for a while. I
1226
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:54.280
watched a ton of Seahawks tape this year. I like
1227
01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:57.000
the Shanahan tree. I want to piece that Shanahan tree
1228
01:00:57.079 --> 01:00:59.599
in Buffalo. It's part of why I wanted Mike McDaniel
1229
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:05.159
as the Bill's OC. So yeah, this next one, Chris
1230
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:09.159
Shula defensive coordinator, Los Angeles Rams. I want to say this.
1231
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:15.320
I do think Kubiak is my oh old non. We
1232
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:17.719
got another super chat. Thank you very much for beinger
1233
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:19.920
thinking for the super Chat. The comments is Philip Rivers
1234
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:23.599
just saying I appreciate you, I appreciate you. You want Philip
1235
01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:25.480
Rivers' is like head coach. I kind of don't hate it.
1236
01:01:25.519 --> 01:01:28.159
He's so fiery, and you know, he knows, he knows,
1237
01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:30.480
he's a people leader. He's got like seventy five kids,
1238
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.679
and he knows how to write the ship there. That's funny.
1239
01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:35.159
I don't know how serious you are now with him,
1240
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:40.480
but that's kind of funny. I like that, Chris Shula.
1241
01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:44.320
I want to say this is as far as an
1242
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:47.079
individual and not thinking of whoever else comes with him. Granted,
1243
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:50.719
like maybe Clink Kubiak brings again the defensive coordinator from
1244
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:53.559
Seattle whose name my butcher all the time. Maybe he
1245
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:58.320
brings him just in saying the Bills can't hire a Shula. Yeah,
1246
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.679
it's in the league bylaws. That's fair. Yeah, Krishula is
1247
01:02:00.679 --> 01:02:06.039
the grandson of a legendary Dolphins head coach Shula, so
1248
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:09.760
you know fair enough there. That's funny. So who knows
1249
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:12.159
who Kubiak brings with him as his defensive coordinator? You know,
1250
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:14.719
maybe he likes Babbage and he keeps him. But I
1251
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:18.079
would assume he would bring Seattle Seahawks defensive staff with him,
1252
01:02:18.199 --> 01:02:20.360
which is cool. Could you get some of that McDonald
1253
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:23.679
tree potentially in your building in your defense which would
1254
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:27.280
be awesome, although McDonald is really the straw that stirs
1255
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.960
the drink and a lot of the horses that they have.
1256
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:33.599
But we would see who Kubiak would bring in what
1257
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:36.159
I really like about Chris Sula, and I like some
1258
01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:39.960
things about him individually, but part of what my perfect
1259
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:43.840
storm is with Chrishula is if he were so he's
1260
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:45.639
the defensive coordinator for the Rams, if he were to
1261
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:49.159
come in and be your head coach, my hope and pairing,
1262
01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:52.199
and this is like my one B to Kubiak being
1263
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:54.519
the one A, especially now that salas off the board.
1264
01:02:54.880 --> 01:02:58.360
If Shula came in as the head coach, and then ah,
1265
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:04.000
it's pronounced dirty Okay, So that is the last name
1266
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.920
pronunciation of the Sea oxens acordator. I've heard it multiple times,
1267
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:09.559
and I never know what source to trust, even like
1268
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:12.440
some team based interviews will kind of get it wrong
1269
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:14.719
initially and then I'm like, oh, how do I want to
1270
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:16.119
go around? So thank you very much for that. I
1271
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:17.679
appreciate you, and also I'm gonna put my faith in
1272
01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:19.679
you and trust that you're right, because as far as
1273
01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:21.239
I know, you could be completely making it up and
1274
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:22.800
you might be wrong yourself, but I'm gonna trust you
1275
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:26.400
and I appreciate you. Yeah, So maybe Kubiak brings Dirty
1276
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:29.320
in with him, the defensive coordinator from Seattle, But My
1277
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:32.119
thought with the Rams is Chris Shula comes in right
1278
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:35.039
defensive coordinator from the Rams, he's your head coach. Then
1279
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:40.760
offensive coordinator I'm hoping would be Nate Shieldhause, who is
1280
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:46.159
the passing game coordinator for the Rams right now McVeigh
1281
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:50.760
student Tree disciple doing all the drawings and mockups and
1282
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:53.079
everything that Liam Cohen was doing a couple of years ago,
1283
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:57.519
and all that stuff. I've mentioned she Ass's name for
1284
01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:00.360
a while. It got actually mentioned, got first brought up
1285
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.079
in the chat. I forget who and if whoever's watching it.
1286
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:05.480
If you're here and you were that person, let me
1287
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.760
know I might recognize the handle. Somebody brought up Shieldhouse
1288
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:11.639
back in like October or November here on the show
1289
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:13.599
when I was talking about Kubiak, and I was and
1290
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.239
I remembered him at Ohio State, and I forgot that
1291
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:18.800
he was the pass game coordinator with the Rams and
1292
01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.719
with McVeigh. So he's not a full o. See, And
1293
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:23.840
I think that makes a lot of logistical sense, like
1294
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:26.599
it would be cool, but I also think it's realistic.
1295
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:29.639
Like Shula comes over, he's probably going to bring somebody
1296
01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:32.280
from that RAMS staff. I don't think he's going to
1297
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:35.960
take Michael Fleurr, who's the current offensive coordinator with the Rams, right,
1298
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:37.960
you would take somebody else, So you would take like
1299
01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:40.320
the quarterbacks coach or the wide receivers coach, or the
1300
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:43.480
passing game coordinator who is shiel House. That would be
1301
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:46.960
pretty sweet. So I would take Chris Shula as the
1302
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:49.840
head coach. He runs the defensive side, and then Nate
1303
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:52.840
Schelhouse is your offensive coordinator, who I really like. That
1304
01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:54.639
goes back to was Iowa State days, which is what
1305
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:57.000
I really remembered him. And then once I realized he
1306
01:04:57.079 --> 01:04:58.920
was at the RAMS these past couple of years, I
1307
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:04.320
was like, oh my god, I like it even more now. Again,
1308
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:06.760
what we talked about a couple of minutes ago, this
1309
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:09.880
means in theory right, like because Shielhaus also got interviewed
1310
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:14.119
by the Ravens for a head coaching position last week,
1311
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:16.639
and again he's just a passing game coordinator with the Rams.
1312
01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:19.920
So that shows you what kind of how he's thought
1313
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.480
about in the league circles. That he's a passing game
1314
01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:25.159
coordinator a couple of years ago, was the you know,
1315
01:05:25.199 --> 01:05:30.360
the Iowa State offensive coordinator, and now he's sitting there
1316
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:34.880
kind of getting head coaching interview spots as a thirty
1317
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:38.360
five year old. Again, even just going back through so
1318
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:40.960
at Iowa State, starting in twenty eighteen, running backs coach,
1319
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:44.800
wide receivers coach, running game coordinator, slash running backs and
1320
01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:47.239
wide receivers coach. Then in twenty twenty three he was
1321
01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:50.239
the OC and the QB coach. Then twenty twenty four
1322
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:53.639
he goes to the Rams offensive assistant and pass game specialist.
1323
01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:56.320
Then this past year he was the past he's been
1324
01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:00.159
the pass game coordinator for the Rams. That just shows
1325
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.480
you how highly thought of he is that he doesn't
1326
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:05.559
necessarily have this stocked out resume and he got a
1327
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:08.280
head coaching interview. He is the type of guy who
1328
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:10.519
I think like he could come with Shula if that's
1329
01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:13.440
the move that happens, right, and then Chiahas might be
1330
01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:16.760
gone in twenty twenty seven or maybe even twenty twenty
1331
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:19.079
eight at the latest. And again you're I think that's
1332
01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:23.760
highly likely for that specific scenario, but also I think
1333
01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:25.079
it somebod you're gonna have to deal with. If you
1334
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:26.719
go with the defensive head coach, you're gonna have that
1335
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:30.440
churnet offensive coordinator where Josh Allen and the offense does
1336
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:34.360
its thing, and so every year or two teams are
1337
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:37.639
coming around and kicking the tires on your offensive coordinator
1338
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:39.599
to get head coaching interview opportunities. I mean, look at
1339
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:42.719
Joe Brady. Joe Brady has interviewed with what, the Dolphins,
1340
01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:47.280
the Ravens, the Raiders. I think I've lost count of
1341
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:49.400
like all the names I've seen him associated with, Like,
1342
01:06:49.480 --> 01:06:51.639
Joe Brady's gotten a ton of interviews when a lot
1343
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:53.440
of Bills fans think he's terrible, but because of the
1344
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:56.119
association with this offense, and again I don't think he's
1345
01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:57.559
as terrible as everybody makes him out to be. I
1346
01:06:57.599 --> 01:06:59.159
also don't think he's as great as some people made
1347
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:03.960
him out to be. But that kind of relationship and
1348
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:06.159
association with Allen in this offense is gonna get your
1349
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:08.800
offensive coordinator interviews. So you're gonna run into that with
1350
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:13.519
anybody that is a defensive based head coach when it
1351
01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:18.800
comes to Shula individually, a lot of movement defensively, five
1352
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:23.679
down overload looks, simulated pressures, creepers, a lot of run stunts,
1353
01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:26.760
a lot of stunts in the past, some you know,
1354
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:30.639
match some fangio match coverage, principal stuff. I talked about
1355
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:32.320
this with Cody Alexander a couple weeks ago when I
1356
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:33.639
had him on the show. You know, get you get
1357
01:07:33.639 --> 01:07:36.599
some Fangio coverage stuff on the back end, but then
1358
01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:39.280
you've got some of that Wade Phillips five down pressure
1359
01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:43.679
path and Blitz packaged stuff up front. Really cool. Obviously
1360
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:47.639
he has a bunch of horses at the Rams, especially upfront.
1361
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:50.199
You've got Kobe Turner, You've got Byron Young, You've got
1362
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.880
Jared Verse, now, You've got Yeah, You've got Poona Ford.
1363
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.840
Now you have Brayden Fisk. You got dudes who can
1364
01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:04.480
kind of roll. Even what's not Jordan Davis, Oh from Clemson.
1365
01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:05.920
This is gonna drive me nuts. I have to look up.
1366
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:09.039
I have to look up the Rams depth chart. Forgive me,
1367
01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:11.280
forgive me because his name is eluding me and it's
1368
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:15.480
gonna drive me absolutely insane. Tyler Davis, thank you, defensive tackle.
1369
01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:19.720
He's number ninety for the Rams. I remember lik him
1370
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:21.880
a bit coming out of Clemson, like he's been productive.
1371
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:24.920
Like they have dudes upfront who can absolutely just go.
1372
01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:28.760
Even Josiah Stewart, rookie edge out of Michigan, who I
1373
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.159
like he's undersized, but just plays like a veloci rafter,
1374
01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:33.880
like you've seen what they've kind of been able to
1375
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:38.399
get out of guys up front. But again, he's got
1376
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:41.239
the horses, but I think he does a great job
1377
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:44.079
weaponizing them and setting them up for success, and kind
1378
01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:46.279
of the hybrid nature of the defense I think is cool.
1379
01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:49.520
My biggest question with him is can he be as
1380
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:52.680
effective without having those dudes? Right? How effective can he
1381
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:56.239
be without having Byron Young and Jared Versus and Kobe
1382
01:08:56.239 --> 01:09:01.119
Turner and all, and like this legitimate five or six
1383
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:05.079
man deep front that they have. And especially for a
1384
01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:07.720
guy that runs a defense that's a combination of like
1385
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:10.720
multiple schemes and philosophies and has a hybrid nature to it,
1386
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.960
the personnel is super important. And that's what I also
1387
01:09:14.039 --> 01:09:16.079
think is tough with whoever comes in for the defense,
1388
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:18.600
but especially if they come in and they're not alike
1389
01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:22.640
for like scheme fit with what the Bills already do. Like,
1390
01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:25.840
unless you're running a four down overfront type of defense,
1391
01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:28.720
it's gonna be tough for you to change things here
1392
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:31.119
in Buffalo because one, that's how the defense is built
1393
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:35.039
right now. Two, like someone alluded to earlier. They don't
1394
01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:37.800
have the you know, the plethora of picks and cap
1395
01:09:37.840 --> 01:09:40.319
space to kind of revamp everything in an offseason. If
1396
01:09:40.319 --> 01:09:42.840
you decide, you know what, I'm gonna come in, I'm
1397
01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:45.800
gonna remake this defense in my image. You don't really
1398
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.840
have the draft capital or the financial capital to do that.
1399
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:54.159
But so that's a hindrance for him and a hindrance
1400
01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:55.760
for the next name then I'm gonna bring up as well.
1401
01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:59.039
But I like what he's done schematically. I like the
1402
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:01.359
hybrid nature of the defense and the combinations of what
1403
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:03.880
he does. I like how he's weaponized as players sets
1404
01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:06.239
them up for success. I like the quarters principles that
1405
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:07.960
he operates with on the back end. I'm a huge
1406
01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.439
match coverage guy, so I like that type of stuff.
1407
01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:12.960
I like the three safeties that he's doing. You know
1408
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.560
how he works in Cam Curl, Cam Kitchens and Quinton
1409
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:17.840
Lake when he's healthy. You know, him being able to
1410
01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:21.720
get Emmanuel Forbes and Kobe Durant to play outstanding at
1411
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:23.359
times even though they had a bit of a lull.
1412
01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:25.760
You know what he's gotten out of the linebacker spot,
1413
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.119
even though they don't have studs at that spot. I
1414
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:30.479
know like Nate Landman has been like a fun guy
1415
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:32.159
who's really kind of come on, but it's been Nate
1416
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:35.039
Lambman and Omar Spates, like none of those guys are
1417
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:37.399
big names that run the show or are all pro
1418
01:10:37.439 --> 01:10:39.720
type of guys, and he's been able to kind of
1419
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:42.159
just set that again, set them up for success a
1420
01:10:42.159 --> 01:10:43.520
lot with what he does at the front, and he
1421
01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:48.119
has the horses. But yeah, so for me, the cons
1422
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:50.119
with him are can he be as effective without having
1423
01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:53.560
those dudes? And then you know him bringing his scheme
1424
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:56.000
and philosophy in knowing that it's not really a like
1425
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.560
for like fit with how the Bills are currently built
1426
01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:01.840
from a roster and body type standpoint in previous schematics,
1427
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.760
I think that would be tough. And again, what offensive
1428
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:06.800
coordinator would he bring? I think that's a huge piece
1429
01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:09.279
for me. Again, my hope is it would be Shielhouse,
1430
01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:12.720
but we'll go in a different direction if needed. And
1431
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.479
any defensive coordinator this is necessarily a con just for Shula,
1432
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:18.279
but again any defensive coordinators or head coach means you're
1433
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:21.439
probably playing the revolving door at offensive coordinator every couple
1434
01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:24.159
of years. But I do like Shula. I do like
1435
01:11:24.199 --> 01:11:25.680
what a lot of the Rams have been doing a
1436
01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:27.520
lot of what a lot of the Rams have been doing.
1437
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:31.600
What the Rams have been doing this year in a
1438
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:37.319
lot of ways. Again, the Rams are a team that, Oh,
1439
01:11:37.439 --> 01:11:39.119
I've lost track at this point. I watched a ton
1440
01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:41.960
of their tape last year because I liked I like
1441
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:44.960
Kobe Turner a lot, and then rookie Jared Verse, I
1442
01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:48.399
like Cam Kinchen's Byron Young again their front was so sick.
1443
01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:50.680
And then I like Michael Hoyt last year too, But
1444
01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:55.119
they were doing such cool stuff schematically last year, and
1445
01:11:55.159 --> 01:11:57.000
you know him being the d C last year his
1446
01:11:57.039 --> 01:11:59.399
first year is their DC last year, then being their
1447
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:03.800
defensive coordat again this year. I just think they're well coached,
1448
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:06.479
They attack the movement, the you know what they are
1449
01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:09.359
from an identity and philosophical standpoint. And then also how
1450
01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:11.159
he's been able to kind of blend multiple schemes on
1451
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:13.800
the front and back end. I like it. And then
1452
01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:15.560
his coaching history in case you Carey's been with the
1453
01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:18.880
Rams since twenty seventeen. He was the assistant linebackers coach
1454
01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:21.800
for two years, the outside linebackers coach for two years,
1455
01:12:22.119 --> 01:12:25.199
the linebackers coach in twenty twenty one, the pass game
1456
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:28.479
coordinator and DB's coach in twenty twenty two, then the
1457
01:12:28.520 --> 01:12:32.079
pass rush coordinator and linebackers coach in twenty twenty three,
1458
01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:35.640
and then the defensive coordinator last year and this year.
1459
01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:37.520
And knowing what they've been able to turn out there
1460
01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:40.319
with the rams, you know, maybe he can help coach
1461
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:42.800
up this front a little bit id, some better pass
1462
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:45.319
rush prospects, developed some guys a little bit more, and
1463
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:50.399
or set some guys up for success. We'll see. But yeah,
1464
01:12:50.479 --> 01:12:52.920
I like Shula as a name as well. Next name,
1465
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:58.479
also a defensive mind. Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator Chargers another
1466
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:02.359
one who again the schematic fit kind of leading off
1467
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:04.680
with the con here, but kind of you know, connecting
1468
01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:06.880
it to the Shuler piece. The schematic fit with how
1469
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:09.840
the Bills roster is built defensively, I think is a question.
1470
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:13.359
Minter is more of a three to four type of guy,
1471
01:13:13.520 --> 01:13:17.000
odd front type of looks, but he does know how
1472
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:22.039
to have liked odd front structure in his run defense,
1473
01:13:22.119 --> 01:13:24.279
but kind of tie it into an even front with
1474
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:26.920
his principles of kind of just gap and a half,
1475
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:29.399
but you know, you know, attack, react and I should
1476
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:32.000
say react, attack like knock back type of deal, reset
1477
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.560
the line of scrimmage. I do think he could kind
1478
01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:37.439
of blend things a bit, but he's another guy who,
1479
01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:41.039
like the structure in the scheme, isn't necessarily the ideal fit.
1480
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:44.319
But I just value him so much as a defensive mind.
1481
01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:46.039
If you ever want to take a peek on, there's
1482
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:48.600
a ton of stuff going back to his time at Michigan.
1483
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:53.560
So he was the Michigan defensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh.
1484
01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:56.359
At Michigan for a little bit, we'll kind of run
1485
01:13:56.399 --> 01:13:59.199
down his time there. So he was with the Ravens
1486
01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:02.640
in twenty seventeen. He was a defensive assistant for two years.
1487
01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.399
Then he was the assistant DB's coach in twenty nineteen,
1488
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:08.279
the full on DB's coach in twenty twenty. Then he
1489
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:10.680
went to Vanderbilt in twenty twenty one where he was
1490
01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:13.840
the DC and safety's coach. Then he was at Michigan
1491
01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:16.560
in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three where he
1492
01:14:16.600 --> 01:14:20.119
was their defensive coordinator. Won a national championship there, and
1493
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:23.840
then he has been the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator
1494
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:26.079
last year and this year, where he followed Jim Harbaugh
1495
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:30.359
to the Chargers from Michigan. If you ever want to
1496
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:32.520
look something up on him, just type his name Jesse
1497
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:35.479
Minter and type in the four pillars of defense. You know,
1498
01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:38.000
there's coaching clinics on him. There's interviews of him talking
1499
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:40.720
about it. His four pillars are defense of defense, I
1500
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:44.359
should say, are effort and angles. That's one effort and angles,
1501
01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:49.840
block deconstruction, ball disruption, and obnoxious communication. You just see
1502
01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:53.880
the way his team operates again, like playing the angles
1503
01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:56.439
of football. Football off comes down to math a bunch.
1504
01:14:56.800 --> 01:14:59.720
You know, it's you know, numbers and just pure plus
1505
01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:02.800
in mind, and then it's also angles. It's geometry, all
1506
01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:05.520
that kind of stuff. And he coaches guys to hustle up.
1507
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:07.399
He coaches them to take good angles to the football.
1508
01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:11.319
Block deconstruction hugely important. And if you watch the Chargers,
1509
01:15:11.319 --> 01:15:13.880
you do it's huge linebackers. As an example, you see
1510
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.960
Dayon Henley and Denzel Perriman. Those dudes know how to
1511
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:21.239
deconstruct blocks all day. But then watching you know, Khalil Matck,
1512
01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:24.760
watching two Y two Plow too, even Derwin James, like,
1513
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:26.880
watch their dbs how they take on blocks. You see
1514
01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:29.760
that ball disruption, making plays on the ball, cause and havoc.
1515
01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:32.000
And then I'm not just communication. They do a lot
1516
01:15:32.039 --> 01:15:34.239
of cool schematic stuff on the back end, and that
1517
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:37.039
happens because of how well and tight or how good
1518
01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:41.159
and tight their communication is on the back end. He's
1519
01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:43.399
also you know, again a lot of just great line
1520
01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:45.800
one liners from him and of what he believes philosophically
1521
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:48.920
and from an identity standpoint. You know, he talks all
1522
01:15:48.960 --> 01:15:51.279
the time about how scheme is important, but also it's
1523
01:15:51.359 --> 01:15:53.520
what you play. It's not just what you play, it's
1524
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:55.520
how you play it. He says, quote it's a fifty
1525
01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:58.239
to fifty split. How you play and what you play
1526
01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:02.159
are of equal importance. And I just think that's so important,
1527
01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:04.520
Like he knows, he's that type of guy that he
1528
01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:06.319
knows what he wants to play, but he's only gonna
1529
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:09.960
play what his guys can maximize what sets them up
1530
01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:12.560
for success, because it's not just what you play, it's
1531
01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:14.680
how you play it. And him being able to balance
1532
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:16.720
those two he's done it for the past several years.
1533
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.520
I like it against schematically creative on the back end.
1534
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:22.720
One of the things I don't like, and this kind
1535
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.279
of ties into what the Bills used to be a bit.
1536
01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:28.199
He is a proponent, especially this past year, of like
1537
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:30.800
that light box defense that will give up you know,
1538
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:33.920
yards on the ground but won't allow a ton of explosives.
1539
01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:37.800
He is kind of the proverbial like bend but don't
1540
01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:42.479
break type of defense. In twenty twenty five, that's really
1541
01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:44.560
what they were, you know, not blitz in a ton,
1542
01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:47.159
but getting really good rush efficiency. I think they have
1543
01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:49.359
the seventh highest sack rate in the in the league
1544
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:51.319
that in this past year with what they were able
1545
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:54.159
to do. They want to make offenses grow impatient. They're
1546
01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:56.760
gonna stay in nickel. They're gonna have light boxes, they're
1547
01:16:56.800 --> 01:16:58.279
gonna let you run the ball for four to five
1548
01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:00.960
yards at a time, and they're actually gonna bet that
1549
01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:03.439
you become impatient or you make a mistake and then
1550
01:17:03.439 --> 01:17:06.159
they capitalize because they're in dime or they're in nickel.
1551
01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:08.520
And again some of this is tied to you know,
1552
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:10.800
you got Derwyn James, who's a skeleton key of a
1553
01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:12.520
nickel with what he can do with coverage and what
1554
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.640
he can do as a run defender. And then some
1555
01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:16.680
of the dbs they've had on the back end as well,
1556
01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:19.159
but that's something that for me is a con like.
1557
01:17:19.239 --> 01:17:23.039
I don't like that type of model and mentality, but
1558
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:26.760
it really works for what he's done and where he's
1559
01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:28.760
been and how he built this Chargers team and who
1560
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:32.000
they've had from a personnel standpoint. I also wonder again,
1561
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:35.279
oh yes, forced asleep says Ben, but don't break is
1562
01:17:35.319 --> 01:17:37.840
forbidden in Buffalo. I also wonder how that gel is
1563
01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:40.239
kind of just with the front that they have in Buffalo.
1564
01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:42.359
Like you go to the Chargers and they had you know,
1565
01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:45.119
poona Ford last year, they had Tier Turt this year.
1566
01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:48.239
Like they're playing some odd front principles and you know
1567
01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:50.880
what gaps they're controlling, how they're controlling them, playing gap
1568
01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:53.279
in a half, playing knock back, all that type of stuff.
1569
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:56.279
That's not what the Bills have been built with, And
1570
01:17:56.279 --> 01:17:58.079
that's not what the Bills have, Like they would have
1571
01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:01.720
to kind of reach tool themselves a little bit like TJ.
1572
01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:04.720
Sanders isn't built for that type of defense. At Oliver
1573
01:18:04.920 --> 01:18:07.640
isn't built for that type of defense. Dean Walker maybe
1574
01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:09.439
is built for that type of defense. But you have
1575
01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:14.239
to severely change your interior defensive line. Your linebackers are
1576
01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:16.359
not good at block deconstruction. We'll see what happens with
1577
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:18.720
Matt Mlano if if he comes back. But Treel Bernard,
1578
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:22.560
he's not built for block deconstruction. His size and frame
1579
01:18:22.600 --> 01:18:25.199
and arm length not great, you know, So what would
1580
01:18:25.239 --> 01:18:29.239
Minter have to do to kind of bat that. I
1581
01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:31.600
think that's what makes the fit a little tough. But
1582
01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:34.520
I do like him as a defensive mind. I think
1583
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:37.520
he's someone who would get I think he's someone who
1584
01:18:37.560 --> 01:18:41.000
would get get the job done in the long term
1585
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:44.199
going forward. But I think the initial first year, like
1586
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:46.319
that first year twenty twenty six, I think would be
1587
01:18:46.319 --> 01:18:48.800
really ugly and messy defensively because they don't have the
1588
01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:52.079
pieces or the body types that would fit the type
1589
01:18:52.079 --> 01:18:54.399
of defense he runs. But I do trust him to
1590
01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:57.680
kind of balance that a little bit and mitigate those discrepancies.
1591
01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:01.960
He's a really great teacher, very hands on, But I
1592
01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:06.439
think it will be tough considering just how the Bill's
1593
01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:09.960
defensive roster is built. Same similar challenge for Shula as well.
1594
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:11.600
Both of these guys, right, both of like the hot
1595
01:19:11.680 --> 01:19:16.840
name defensive coordinators in Shula and Minter that are potential
1596
01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:21.520
head coach candidates, don't really gel or fit with what
1597
01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:24.600
the Bill's current identity is defensively, and you would have
1598
01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:27.720
to overhaul or retool or revamp or tweak whatever verbat
1599
01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:29.399
You want to use a lot of the body types
1600
01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:32.840
and the roster to get them to fit the schematics
1601
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:35.439
and identity and philosophy for Shula and Minter. That's part
1602
01:19:35.439 --> 01:19:37.039
of the reason why I also like Robert Salad because
1603
01:19:37.039 --> 01:19:38.399
I thought it was more of a seamless fit, and
1604
01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:39.840
I do think he's a good coach. I know some
1605
01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:45.279
people don't, but yeah, well, I do think that's going
1606
01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:47.439
to be a challenge for Minter, just like it would
1607
01:19:47.479 --> 01:19:50.319
be for Shula. But I value both of their minds schematically,
1608
01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:55.119
and kind of going from there next one, I'm gonna
1609
01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:57.960
bring these guys up in conjunction with one another. A
1610
01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:02.760
lot of you have mentioning in the chat, Joe Brady,
1611
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:07.439
Brian Dable. I I don't know why. I've kind of
1612
01:20:07.479 --> 01:20:09.159
backed off this a little bit the more I've thought
1613
01:20:09.159 --> 01:20:13.039
about it, but I just have a gut feeling that
1614
01:20:13.119 --> 01:20:15.079
Joe Brady's gonna be the head coach of the Bills.
1615
01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:19.479
I just kind of think of that. I don't want
1616
01:20:19.560 --> 01:20:21.800
Joe Brady as the head coach of the Bills. I
1617
01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:24.000
don't think he's as big of a problem and he's
1618
01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:25.960
been kind of made out to be. I just don't think.
1619
01:20:26.399 --> 01:20:27.880
I don't think Joe Braden woul say it just kind
1620
01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:29.279
of speak out of both sides of my oll. Actually, no,
1621
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:34.279
I'm not. I don't think Joe Brady was as amazing
1622
01:20:34.520 --> 01:20:36.359
as everybody was making him out to be last year
1623
01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:38.319
when Alan won the MVP and the Bills were running
1624
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:40.279
the ball and doing all that great stuff. I also
1625
01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:42.680
don't think he's as bad as everybody's been making him
1626
01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:45.319
out to be this year. So I don't think he
1627
01:20:45.359 --> 01:20:47.199
was as high up there as everybody was making him
1628
01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:48.479
out to be. And I don't think he's as bad
1629
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:50.600
as everybody's making him out to be. Now that said,
1630
01:20:50.600 --> 01:20:52.960
I don't want him to be head coach. And I'm
1631
01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:55.399
in a similar poll with Brian Dable really just because
1632
01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:58.399
of how poorly things went with the Giants and the
1633
01:20:58.439 --> 01:21:01.199
reports coming out of thereafter grant it. You know, it
1634
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:03.359
could be a smear campaign and all that type of stuff.
1635
01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:06.479
We don't know what the deal is with that organization
1636
01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:08.960
and how things come out, but things were just so
1637
01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:11.800
bad in New York and I even going back to
1638
01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:13.960
this past game with the Chiefs, or this past season
1639
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:15.560
where they played the Chiefs on Monday night, and I
1640
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.319
know Spags does his things and we'll try and limit,
1641
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:21.479
you know, your best thing, but dabill not being able
1642
01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:23.560
to get the ball to the leak neighbors, you know,
1643
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.119
watching Daniel Jones leave the Giants and then start to
1644
01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:29.760
kind of flourish legitimately, legitimately a little bit with the Colts.
1645
01:21:29.880 --> 01:21:32.359
How much or how sustainable that was going to be
1646
01:21:32.359 --> 01:21:35.560
before after the injury, Now there's a huge variable thrown
1647
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:39.600
into that. I just don't I don't want Brady or Dable.
1648
01:21:40.279 --> 01:21:42.640
It's just I didn't even dive into that. We know
1649
01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:44.119
kind of who they are and what they are at
1650
01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:46.279
this point as well, So I didn't dive into too
1651
01:21:46.359 --> 01:21:48.159
much of the schematics for this conversation because I think
1652
01:21:48.199 --> 01:21:49.399
a lot of us know who they are and what
1653
01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:51.399
they are after watching the Bills for all these years.
1654
01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:55.560
But Dables run in New York was just so bad,
1655
01:21:56.039 --> 01:21:59.439
and there was so much like smoke from a negative
1656
01:21:59.479 --> 01:22:02.159
standpoint that even if a good chunk of it is
1657
01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:05.520
still smoking, there's no fire, there's still enough fire that
1658
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:08.359
makes me not want Dable to be the head coach
1659
01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:11.479
of the Bills, which is a shame because I met
1660
01:22:11.520 --> 01:22:13.199
him in person at the Senior Bowl. He was awesome,
1661
01:22:13.399 --> 01:22:16.159
He's a local guy, all that kind of stuff. I
1662
01:22:16.159 --> 01:22:19.039
don't want Dable, And as Tristan says, like Dabele doesn't
1663
01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:21.000
seem to have the disposition of a head coach. Yeah,
1664
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:24.920
there's just a lot of wonkiness with Dabel. And so
1665
01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:28.399
I don't want Dable and I don't want Joe Brady.
1666
01:22:28.439 --> 01:22:32.039
I just I don't think Brady is the guy wants
1667
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:35.680
steering the ship and ooh, coming from Will and the chat,
1668
01:22:35.720 --> 01:22:38.680
Dable is a classic Belichick tree coach. That's actually super fair.
1669
01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:44.239
That's a super fair thought there. Yeah, and then Brady huh.
1670
01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:47.760
I feel like also too, Like if Brady's the head coach,
1671
01:22:47.800 --> 01:22:50.800
he's more puppet than anything else. And I don't value
1672
01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:54.520
him enough schematically to think that that's fine from an
1673
01:22:54.520 --> 01:22:57.640
exus and O standpoint, Like I think Kobiac would be better,
1674
01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:01.159
and I would prefer that. I don't think there's a
1675
01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:03.479
right answer for anybody, Like we've talked about it, right,
1676
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:05.359
Like even the guys that I've listed off, like my
1677
01:23:05.399 --> 01:23:12.840
top three of Kubiak, Shula and Minter. We still don't
1678
01:23:12.880 --> 01:23:15.239
know on them as like head coaches, like there's variables
1679
01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:17.199
to each guy, there's pros and cons to each guy
1680
01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:21.520
across the board. I just I just don't want Brady
1681
01:23:21.520 --> 01:23:24.800
and I don't want Dable, And it's more gut field
1682
01:23:24.800 --> 01:23:27.159
than anything, although there obviously there are schematic pieces and
1683
01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:33.039
people eating aspects to it. But I yeah, Dable's tenure
1684
01:23:33.079 --> 01:23:38.720
in New York was ugly and wonky and black. Just
1685
01:23:38.720 --> 01:23:40.239
what he was doing with Jackson Dart at the end
1686
01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:43.359
and running him a million times, like the Camp Scataboo stuff.
1687
01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:47.199
Just you know, my league neighbors like kind of throwing
1688
01:23:47.319 --> 01:23:51.000
jabs at him last year, and you know, people openly
1689
01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:53.399
in the media, like players criticized him and just not
1690
01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:55.960
liking him. And then how he went, how he went
1691
01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:59.239
out the door just really mussy and medi musty and
1692
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:02.640
medi messy and muddy, and then even kind of compare
1693
01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:04.159
that somebody said in the chat, Yeah, like his how
1694
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:05.800
his tenure in Buffalo I did it was also not
1695
01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:09.039
great and then like rumblings that kind of came after that.
1696
01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:13.319
So I I I'm out on table not a fan
1697
01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:18.159
of that. One and Brady Again, I don't think Brady's
1698
01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:20.880
is terrible. I don't. I don't want Joe Brady as
1699
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:23.600
as my head coach right now. And I could be
1700
01:24:23.600 --> 01:24:25.479
completely wrong. He might go to someone said he's in
1701
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:27.880
the final stages with Baltimore, he's interviewed with the interviewed
1702
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.560
with Miami, interview with the Raiders. I believe he could
1703
01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:32.359
go on to be an amazing head coach. I just
1704
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:33.960
don't see it right now, and I know the faith
1705
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:40.159
in it right now, and I just I just don't.
1706
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:45.359
I don't want more of even though again the offense.
1707
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:48.039
I think we'll get this into the film room tomorrow.
1708
01:24:48.079 --> 01:24:49.199
And I don't want to talk too much about the
1709
01:24:49.239 --> 01:24:51.640
Broncos game, but I don't think the offense was a
1710
01:24:51.720 --> 01:24:55.279
huge problem schematically from a play calling or design standpoint.
1711
01:24:56.479 --> 01:24:58.199
In the playoffs. You know, there were some good things
1712
01:24:58.239 --> 01:24:59.359
that he was doing, just like I think there were
1713
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:04.720
some good things throughout. But oh, question from Josh oh
1714
01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:08.800
And in their tenure in Buffalo, whose offense look better,
1715
01:25:08.880 --> 01:25:16.359
Brady or Dable Oof. It's tough because they're they're both
1716
01:25:16.399 --> 01:25:20.119
so different. Brady is condensed formations, bigger body, types of
1717
01:25:20.159 --> 01:25:25.119
wide receiver and running the football, and Dable is John
1718
01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:29.720
Brown and Cole Beasley spread them out, you know, three
1719
01:25:29.760 --> 01:25:33.960
by two empty gun. Allan's gonna throw it forty times
1720
01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:37.279
a game. They're both too, They're two completely different offenses,
1721
01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:39.720
and they both were a sign of the times. Like
1722
01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:43.119
da bles offense worked because of where the NFL was
1723
01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:45.520
and it's trends and its meta, and Brady's offense has
1724
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:47.319
worked because of where the NFL is and it's trends
1725
01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:53.520
and its meta. Ooh. I also think, you know RJ says,
1726
01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:55.600
that's not even a question Dable all the way. Everything
1727
01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:57.880
was difficult under Brady because the other team knew the plays.
1728
01:25:57.920 --> 01:26:00.840
I also think people forget about like the sludge of
1729
01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:04.760
games for Dable, like the Jacksonville game. Ironically, even the
1730
01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:09.000
thirteen seconds game. The Bills started out horrible on offense,
1731
01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:11.760
you know, to start like they had that flurry where
1732
01:26:11.760 --> 01:26:14.000
they started chucking it down the field and making plays,
1733
01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:15.960
but they kind of had to because they started out
1734
01:26:16.079 --> 01:26:18.239
slow and muddy and ugly, and they had a couple
1735
01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:24.800
games like that in the Dable tenure. Wow, but the
1736
01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:27.159
pass game stuff has been really Here's what I want
1737
01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:31.520
to say, Brady but the pass game stuff has been
1738
01:26:31.560 --> 01:26:35.680
so ugly under Brady. But the weapons and the players
1739
01:26:35.720 --> 01:26:38.439
available also haven't been great with Brady. But then also
1740
01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:42.680
like Heat also didn't do good with with with Diggs,
1741
01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:45.479
and as we clearly see, Diggs has not completely fallen off.
1742
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:48.960
I think you could do six to one half a
1743
01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:51.119
dozen to the other. The run game under table wasn't
1744
01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:53.920
great and he didn't really hit that enough. I think
1745
01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:55.520
I think it's six to one half a dozen the other.
1746
01:26:55.520 --> 01:26:57.640
It's really tough because their offenses are just so different.
1747
01:26:57.880 --> 01:27:00.000
Their offense is just so different. The Brady run game
1748
01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:02.560
has been good. Granted he's ad Chromer, so you can
1749
01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:05.279
see that as a pro as oricon. Oh and Jason
1750
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:07.399
just said I don't trust that Brady would succeed without Chromer.
1751
01:27:09.239 --> 01:27:11.199
It's tough. There's so many variables. I think it's six
1752
01:27:11.239 --> 01:27:12.800
and one half it does the other. I'm gonna say push.
1753
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:15.560
That's a great question. That's a really great question, Josh,
1754
01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:17.840
really well done. That's a good question. I'm gonna be
1755
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:20.720
thinking about that all night. Yeah. Obviously, the Dable Pass
1756
01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:24.800
game lights out for the most part, even though again
1757
01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:26.439
they had a bunch of struggles and didn't pivot to
1758
01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:28.199
the run game enough, and then the Brady run game
1759
01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:30.520
was sick, and then the past game struggled, like if
1760
01:27:30.520 --> 01:27:34.119
you could merge the two, that'd be sick at some point.
1761
01:27:34.119 --> 01:27:37.239
And again, personnel ties into a two like Dable didn't
1762
01:27:37.279 --> 01:27:40.479
have a running back the capable like James Cookie also
1763
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:44.359
didn't have Aaron Kromer. Joe Brady doesn't have prime John
1764
01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:47.680
Brown and prime Cole Beasley. Prime Cole Beasley was a problem.
1765
01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:51.000
Dude was a monster. So having those guys maybe that
1766
01:27:51.079 --> 01:27:53.960
helps a little bit, plus like prime digs. Yeah, cam
1767
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:55.720
Moore says, let's just take the middle ground and say
1768
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:58.000
Ken Dorsey. I still don't think Ken Dorsey was as
1769
01:27:58.000 --> 01:27:59.880
bad as everybody made about to be. That's a conversation
1770
01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:03.600
for another time. Oh. Also, fair comment here saying you
1771
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:07.279
also have a younger, less experienced Josh Allen under Brian Dable.
1772
01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:11.760
Fair fair, fair, fair, fair fair. Yeah, and based on
1773
01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:13.600
the comments here there's I think it's a pretty good split. Yeah,
1774
01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:14.800
think you could make the case either way. That's a
1775
01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:17.399
really good question, Josh, well done and getting everybody chatting,
1776
01:28:17.560 --> 01:28:21.560
Well done, Well done. Yeah, I again, I don't think
1777
01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:24.359
Brady is terrible. If you told me Joe Brady was
1778
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:29.079
staying his offensive coordinator, I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't
1779
01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:31.079
have hated it. You know, if McDermott state as well,
1780
01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:34.159
Like I wanted Mike McDaniel over Joe Brady, But I
1781
01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:36.399
don't think Joe Brady's a guy that I'm like, he's terrible.
1782
01:28:36.720 --> 01:28:39.680
Jettison him into the sun if he left. Similar to McDermott,
1783
01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.600
if he left, I'd be like, okay, cool. If he stayed,
1784
01:28:42.600 --> 01:28:46.319
I'd be like, okay, cool, But I don't want him
1785
01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:49.840
as a head coach. And then Dable, Yeah, I just
1786
01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:54.119
how bad that Giant stop was and everything coming out
1787
01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:57.319
and what they were on the field, ugly and bad
1788
01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:03.239
in a lot of ways. Some other random not other random,
1789
01:29:03.239 --> 01:29:08.560
but other names that I'm kind of just thinking of.
1790
01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:10.560
I was just diving into, like other playoff teams and
1791
01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:16.920
who could potentially go somewhere. Grant Udinsky, he is the
1792
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:19.319
offensive coordinator for the Jags, you know, really kind of
1793
01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:23.840
both Jags coordinators potentially him and then Anthony Campanilli, the
1794
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:25.880
defensive coordinator who talked about a ton a couple of
1795
01:29:25.880 --> 01:29:29.439
weeks ago. But I think those are more like outskirt
1796
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:33.479
outline names, especially for Rodinsky, who he's thirty years old,
1797
01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:36.479
extreme would be extremely young head coach. He's been the
1798
01:29:36.560 --> 01:29:40.039
Jags OC this past year, but we know how involved
1799
01:29:40.079 --> 01:29:43.039
Cone is and you know just kind of what he is.
1800
01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:46.159
But those are some names I've heard some rumblings about
1801
01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:54.560
potentially happening, but I kinda could see it happening, but
1802
01:29:54.920 --> 01:29:58.279
I don't think either are completely realistic. And then is
1803
01:29:58.319 --> 01:30:00.239
the comic just meant to here? Yeah, Davis web but
1804
01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:04.479
another name those who don't know. He's the Broncos quarterbacks coach,
1805
01:30:05.000 --> 01:30:07.680
and again he's also somebody who young as well. He's
1806
01:30:07.720 --> 01:30:10.840
thirty years old. Finished playing for the Giants in twenty
1807
01:30:10.880 --> 01:30:13.800
twenty two. He became the Broncos QB coach in twenty
1808
01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:16.000
twenty three and was at that through twenty twenty four,
1809
01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:20.960
and then this past season he's been the Broncos offensive
1810
01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:24.640
pass game coordinator and QB coach, obviously learning at the
1811
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.319
feet of Sean Payton. Really good offensive mine, really good
1812
01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:31.880
red zone designer. I'm not completely opposed to Davis Webb.
1813
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:36.159
I just think he's so he's so raw. There's no
1814
01:30:37.640 --> 01:30:39.239
Davis Webb is like one of those like say he
1815
01:30:39.239 --> 01:30:41.000
got a head coaching job. Now, it's either one of
1816
01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:43.359
those moves where like in two seasons or maybe even one,
1817
01:30:43.439 --> 01:30:45.640
you're like, oh my god, I can't believe somebody hired
1818
01:30:45.720 --> 01:30:48.880
him with his lack of experience, Like that's absolutely crazy,
1819
01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:52.119
although again, his playing history was more off the field
1820
01:30:52.159 --> 01:30:53.840
than it was on the field. But I think he's
1821
01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:55.840
one of those hires if it were to happen, or
1822
01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:59.800
names where you know it's like, Wow, what a crazy hit,
1823
01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:03.079
that's amazing, or if it's like, wow, I can't believe
1824
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:06.359
somebody hired that guy. He has no experience. What a
1825
01:31:06.479 --> 01:31:12.079
dumpster fire that was? That type of deal. Yeah, I
1826
01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:17.159
throw him in. I throw him in that category there.
1827
01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:23.039
I'm just kind of seeing like type of deal. Those
1828
01:31:23.079 --> 01:31:25.439
are some last other names. Yeah, my top three are
1829
01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:28.039
Sorry I was reading comments as I'm kind of thinking
1830
01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:30.880
and talking here a little bit waxing poetically. My top
1831
01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:34.399
three Clint Kubiak, Chrishula, Jesse Minter. For what it's worth,
1832
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:37.439
I had Robert sala as my number two a day ago,
1833
01:31:37.520 --> 01:31:42.840
but then he got snatched up by the Titans. Gate says,
1834
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:46.039
what about the Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman I just
1835
01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:47.880
don't think he's leaving Notre Dame. I just don't think
1836
01:31:47.880 --> 01:31:51.720
it's happening. I don't think it's happening. J Clark says
1837
01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:55.800
after watching a few interviews, Webb has that aura and
1838
01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:59.880
that counts for something. I don't think, you know, sure
1839
01:32:00.359 --> 01:32:02.800
we're gonna or a farm for it? Why not? I
1840
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:04.760
just don't know enough of what he offers as like
1841
01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:09.319
a showrunner and ship steerer and all of that and
1842
01:32:09.359 --> 01:32:11.800
everything else in between. Exozos comes the people manage with
1843
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:16.079
pizza's a lot. So I don't know. I don't I
1844
01:32:16.119 --> 01:32:17.199
don't know. I don't know.
1845
01:32:18.239 --> 01:32:18.399
Oh.
1846
01:32:18.520 --> 01:32:22.720
With Peyton Manning ever coach, I don't know. I don't know.
1847
01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:25.279
I don't know. I don't think he wants to. There's
1848
01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:27.960
a lot of coaching's tough. Man. You're in the building
1849
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:30.520
like eighteen hours a day. You're like sleeping under your desk.
1850
01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:36.560
It's a grind. Like it's a real grind. Yeah, it's
1851
01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:39.880
a real grind. You know, it's not a grind. Getting
1852
01:32:39.920 --> 01:32:41.479
the best pizza in Buffalo, New York, and then is
1853
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:44.960
one pie pizza love that segue, sweet sauce pie cup
1854
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:49.760
and char pepperoni, homemade blue cheese, a catering division called
1855
01:32:49.840 --> 01:32:55.880
Elevated Catering. A Buffalo amazing, amazing, amazing food, however you
1856
01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:59.000
slice it. No pun intended there. I truly do believe
1857
01:32:59.000 --> 01:33:00.640
One Pie Pizza is the best piece. It's a Buffalo
1858
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:02.199
and I don't say that because they sponsor the show.
1859
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:03.800
They sponsor the show because I think they are the
1860
01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:06.000
best pizza in Buffalo. I had reached out to another
1861
01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:09.359
pizza spot for a potential sponsor. One Piece saw That
1862
01:33:09.800 --> 01:33:11.840
asked me to come on down. They gave me a
1863
01:33:11.880 --> 01:33:14.640
pie to sample and try, and I have never looked back.
1864
01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:18.920
Kayleb says, did they deliver to Houston. I wish they did.
1865
01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:22.079
I'll ask, but yeah, just I really do think they
1866
01:33:22.079 --> 01:33:23.600
are the best in Buffalo. And I don't say that
1867
01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:25.319
because they sponsored the show. They sponsor the show because
1868
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:27.079
I think they're the best. I tried their stuff. I've
1869
01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:30.479
never looked back. I like the way they just go
1870
01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:33.199
about their business and all the generosity to the city
1871
01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:36.439
and the community at large. Partnering with Roswell, partnering with
1872
01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:40.039
the SPCA, Toys for Tots, the Alzheimer's Foundation. They give
1873
01:33:40.079 --> 01:33:42.880
back in a lot of ways that they don't necessarily
1874
01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:45.760
have to. I always describe them as really good people
1875
01:33:46.079 --> 01:33:50.000
making really good food. They make an awesome breakfast pizza.
1876
01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:52.319
So if you're sad come Sunday morning because the bills
1877
01:33:52.359 --> 01:33:55.600
aren't playing, get yourself some one PI pizza breakfast pizza,
1878
01:33:55.680 --> 01:33:57.560
or just wait till the afternoon and get a regular pie.
1879
01:33:57.680 --> 01:34:00.159
If you get different toppings and veggies, they'll chop them
1880
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:02.680
all up evenly and sprinkle them across the pie. And again,
1881
01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:05.520
that homemade blue cheese is absolutely immaculate. And the catering
1882
01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:07.319
division is great too. So if you are putting on
1883
01:34:07.399 --> 01:34:10.319
an event, you know we put it in. You know
1884
01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:13.000
that little bean your bonnet. Now, if you're doing events
1885
01:34:13.000 --> 01:34:15.840
for the summer or grad parties or birthdays or different things,
1886
01:34:17.680 --> 01:34:20.600
put one pie out there and call up their catering
1887
01:34:20.640 --> 01:34:23.479
division Elevated Catering a Buffalo. I've had them do multiple
1888
01:34:23.560 --> 01:34:26.439
events for me each of the past summer's different family
1889
01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:28.760
events and functions and gatherings and all that kind of stuff,
1890
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:30.560
and it's hit every single time. And you can get
1891
01:34:30.600 --> 01:34:32.000
the pizza while you're doing it too, so you can
1892
01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:34.359
get like awesome chicken and rice dishes and different kinds
1893
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:36.199
of mac and cheeses and also still get the pizzas
1894
01:34:36.239 --> 01:34:41.159
on top of it. Awesome, awesome stuff. Get yourself some
1895
01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:43.279
one pie pizza. If you have not already, you will
1896
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:45.800
not be disappointed when you go there. Tell them disguise
1897
01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:49.680

1900
01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:01.760
falling apart. This episode was that's awesome, even though it
1901
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:05.760
was sad and frustrating. Again, if I didn't get to
1902
01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:09.600
a comment of yours or a thought of yours or anything,
1903
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:12.640
I sincerely, honestly like apologize. There were so many comments
1904
01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:13.840
in this episode. I didn't know if there would be
1905
01:35:13.880 --> 01:35:15.960
a lot of people tuning in to night or not,
1906
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:19.079
but there were a ton of people here and that
1907
01:35:19.159 --> 01:35:21.000

1913
01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:46.159
man it's it's an interesting time for the Bills. It's
1914
01:35:47.039 --> 01:35:49.399
I already thought this is gonna be very pivotal and
1915
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:52.920
forming off season for the direction of the franchise before
1916
01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:54.840
McDermot got fired. Just with where they are, with some
1917
01:35:54.880 --> 01:35:57.159
of the cap where they are, with some of the
1918
01:35:57.159 --> 01:36:02.039
players they brought in, the draft picks they've made, I
1919
01:36:02.119 --> 01:36:07.600
kind of thought the defense was kind of gonna have
1920
01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:09.720
to cross the rubicon a little bit with what they've
1921
01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:12.119
been from a body type and archetype standpoint. As you
1922
01:36:12.199 --> 01:36:16.279
folks know, I've been talking about that so much last
1923
01:36:16.359 --> 01:36:18.560
year and a ton this season. So I thought they
1924
01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:20.720
had to make a lot of defensive changes to get
1925
01:36:20.720 --> 01:36:22.600
to where they need to be with the league trends
1926
01:36:22.640 --> 01:36:24.399
and the league meta. But they don't have a lot
1927
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:28.039
of caps based financial flexibility to do that. Draft picks
1928
01:36:28.039 --> 01:36:31.680
will kind of see extensions they've given out all this stuff.
1929
01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:33.159
I already thought that was gonna be kind of a
1930
01:36:33.199 --> 01:36:37.399
tough offseason and a big one for them, And now
1931
01:36:37.399 --> 01:36:39.920
with McDermott gone, it's even more so. This is we're
1932
01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:42.319
really now And I don't think this is anything revelatory
1933
01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:43.840
that I'm about to say, but we're going to point
1934
01:36:43.880 --> 01:36:47.479
to this offseason as such a pivotal moment in the
1935
01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:50.560
direction of this franchise. It's either going to be they
1936
01:36:50.560 --> 01:36:54.399
write the ship and things get better and they finally
1937
01:36:54.399 --> 01:36:58.159
get over the hump, or they stay the same and
1938
01:36:58.199 --> 01:36:59.920
it's like, oh, it wasn't McDermott, it wasn't the coke.
1939
01:37:00.439 --> 01:37:03.159
Or they tank and they plumb it like again. Another
1940
01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:05.399
thing I'm saying is revelatory or some brand new information.
1941
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:07.960
But this one's gonna go a long way. Alan is
1942
01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:11.680
getting into his thirties, that the cap hit is only
1943
01:37:11.720 --> 01:37:14.840
getting higher. They do have to retool, They do have
1944
01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:21.000
to write the ship like a true admiral Kamory well done. Yeah,
1945
01:37:21.439 --> 01:37:24.600
it's gonna be. It's just gonna be a very pivotabal
1946
01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:28.760
and formative offseason for what they do. How much roster
1947
01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.840
turnover is there, What coaching changes are there are we
1948
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:34.720
looking at? You know, a new head coach, offensive coordinator
1949
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:37.159
and defensive coordinator, you know, whoever they bring in. I
1950
01:37:37.159 --> 01:37:38.880
think again a lot of the names that I mentioned.
1951
01:37:39.439 --> 01:37:41.840
If they bring in Shula, he's also the defensive coordinator.
1952
01:37:41.840 --> 01:37:44.159
There will be a defensive coordinator, but he's running the defense.
1953
01:37:44.199 --> 01:37:46.039
If they bring in Clint Koby act they'll have an
1954
01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:49.640
offensive coordinator, but he's running the offense. But does Chris
1955
01:37:49.640 --> 01:37:52.960
Shula come in and Joe Brady stays right? Does Jesse
1956
01:37:53.039 --> 01:37:55.720
Minter come in and Joe Brady stays, Does Clint Kubiac
1957
01:37:55.760 --> 01:37:58.439
come in and Bobby Babbage stays? You know what defenses
1958
01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:02.279
get brought in player wise schematically? What offenses get brought
1959
01:38:02.279 --> 01:38:06.680
in player wise? Schematically? The changes? How hard does Bean
1960
01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:10.920
go to try and show that it was McDermott. Does
1961
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:13.640
he have some tricks off his sleeve that he's gonna
1962
01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:16.359
make or kind of try and go scorched earth to prove, Hey,
1963
01:38:16.680 --> 01:38:19.680
it was McDermott. I'm gonna really shine now? And does
1964
01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:23.800
that work or does he fail further? And it plunges
1965
01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:26.760
this team into the depths of hell from which they
1966
01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:32.000
never recover. Scary but potentially exciting. I'm gonna start to
1967
01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:36.000
dive into college tape soon, which is always a fun
1968
01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:38.439
thing for me. You've got free agent evaluations coming up,
1969
01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:44.760
college prospect evaluations coming up next week's episode. I will
1970
01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:47.439
likely I love all about admiral jokes. Everybody's putting in
1971
01:38:47.479 --> 01:38:49.640
the chat. It's awesome. Next week, I'm probably gonna do
1972
01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:51.880
a deep dive INDO season recap type of deal in
1973
01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:56.159
terms of positions, archetypes, things they need to change, things
1974
01:38:56.199 --> 01:38:58.640
they need to do, kind of lumping that in with
1975
01:38:58.920 --> 01:39:03.079
the free A class money cap space. We'll be diving
1976
01:39:03.079 --> 01:39:05.119
into all of that on this show, right like cap
1977
01:39:05.159 --> 01:39:07.439
moves that can be made, extensions that could or should
1978
01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:11.119
be made, guys who can be cut post June first designations,
1979
01:39:11.479 --> 01:39:15.199
all that stuff. I'll be outlining the kind of the
1980
01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:17.479
whole offseason schedule as we go for it in this week.
1981
01:39:17.680 --> 01:39:20.239
The McDermott firing and changes just kind of threw all
1982
01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:23.560
of that into flux. So yeah, I hope you continue
1983
01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:27.600
to join me every single week Live Tuesday, nine pm Eastern.
1984
01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:31.359
Here the cover one channel for disguised coverage. We're gonna
1985
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:36.479
be diving into everything, schematic x as and o's based structure,
1986
01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:39.720
player evaluations, fits, anything and everything. We're gonna be doing
1987
01:39:39.760 --> 01:39:41.760
a ton of deep dive in this offseason. I'm gonna
1988
01:39:41.760 --> 01:39:44.439
be doing another big deep dive film series like I
1989
01:39:44.479 --> 01:39:47.079
did a couple of seasons ago when I kind of
1990
01:39:47.119 --> 01:39:50.079
forecasted and predicted what the bills would be offensively with
1991
01:39:50.159 --> 01:39:53.319
condensed formations and league trends, and you know mc collins
1992
01:39:53.399 --> 01:39:55.319
came in and why they brought Homan and what it
1993
01:39:55.359 --> 01:39:57.479
was gonna mean and all of that. And we showed
1994
01:39:57.479 --> 01:39:59.640
tape of the Rams and the Lions and the Texans
1995
01:39:59.640 --> 01:40:01.880
offense the time as some examples of what teams are
1996
01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:04.640
doing with condensed formations to win. We're gonna be doing
1997
01:40:04.640 --> 01:40:06.600
that on the defensive side of the ball this offseason
1998
01:40:06.640 --> 01:40:08.680
to show the direction the Bills defense needs to go
1999
01:40:08.760 --> 01:40:11.279
in and why based on current league trends and meta
2000
01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:14.560
and all that stuff. So yeah, I hope you folks
2001
01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:18.479

2021
01:41:12.319 --> 01:41:14.119
both because I feel like I can't get to everything

need to. But I also feel like I just want
2024
01:41:17.439 --> 01:41:19.239
to sit here and read through everybody's stuff in the
2025
01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:21.960
chat and have it engaging back to back or back
2026
