Whenever you want it, we mention it's free dome of the Odyssey out today Michael I know of the former Dreamliner, but I couldn't do much the quarterbacks will have careers that are your band of the game. So when you watch Chris Jones you watch also Grady Jared. I don't know how you lit the quarterback anymore because they did nothing wrong know you know what that I'm thinking about it. Back when I played like so I took 2013.sleep after every year after. I'm thinking back to when you know it was much more, but even now I think of these rules hundred miles an hour about getting past the rock of life guards in the backfield in a good mood when I got to bend in and out to the quarterback and now you have the added element of not only fighting the quarterback getting all the techniques everything but now aiming for shrinking on the back from what is legal to what is illegal and it's just quick thinking to make that the stranger where I know how you're going to aim your point of attack and nearly impossible to do so with Joseph today. I was cleaning. That was a beautiful sight you didn't hit him harder. I know when I was going.

If you would likely quit of Galloway creek bed your mind what the hell are we good chance so incredibly weird and I don't I don't think I see a change in you look at the NFL in the way the legionnaires first and foremost about making money care about the most important thing and what's going to hurt your general working to stop people from watching on getting the game started quarterback start throwing flags on my end, so I'm sure the great you know what bookkeeper got help in bringing in the view that people want.

All the points you known the backup quarterback. If America became go to clap usually achieve achieve manifold that started quarterback so that the moneymaker and I just don't.

I don't get too upset about how these like the throne. You know what's most important. I love the Christiansen after the game last night Mike DeVito because a lot of times people just blast the league but they don't offer a solution to kind of fix the problem.

He thinks that it should be reviewable in the past you agree with that and why not, why not leave the point where what you know what is the factor what is rocking the pastor is becoming becoming really hard to tell.

The boundary there sure you don't burn we make it make it reviewable to clear up a lot of stuff you look at that point the left might feel it is obvious anybody see that no I think that rep double down but still when you look at it on the required obvious, but that wasn't a roofing clearly was interrupting the pastor and so if you have number three review that on film. Obviously get the straight and to be big game changing play socially down the stretch from the credit report so you know I like that idea.

I just wonder how effective that would be because if you remember the whole Saints game and then the next year or two years later they had pass interference reviewed. We really see many of those calls change was kinda like the league saying really good at doing if it's in a big-time spot because you want to kill the officials too much. Yeah yeah I would have the option to do it again be no way to diagnose and it seems like what is considered bad compared to what is rocking the pastor is becoming less and less clear. So I think that's a really really good idea how much is this Mike DeVito because you brought it up protecting the quarterback. Not that they could've avoided into a situation on the field but they just allowed him back on the field. I know rocking the hazards down this year but this past week. You then see all the sudden two crazy calls is that the NFL behind the scenes tell the officials to maybe keep an eye out on protecting the quarterback's even more now. That's really what those two things together but that that was the case I would be surprised again and it makes sense for the NFL, but what about losing that you look at Miami now Miami looks like Logan Miami rolled out to go to quarterback down. Not the same thing and they continue to do that we can work out what was looking like a promising season is now turned out to be really bad for them and I got people that are watching the talking fans on Inuit games don't sell as much and you lose money and so I'm sure that there is a player safety element to this as well.

But you know ultimately make the quarterback again. That's the moneymaking addition that's to win the game that make the difference on fundraising so I give me some sort of more pessimistic outlook on this but I just I don't feel change and for those reasons you say player safety. Let's just call it how it is and even alluded to the quarterbacks he cares about fire safety. Just care about quarterback safety will not your fault be like prior to rule quarterback.

Maybe I was. Maybe the quarterbacks were getting injured more frequently before these rules are put in place now. Now they're getting left injured after how that actually know if that's true or not but I think the be like if you made that much of a different now you can avoid an ACL tear and you can avoid getting a concussion. You could put rules in place were yes you put the quarterback and less of a spot to get ahead and you don't want people diving at the knees are slapping their head, but most of the times you see these injuries a quarterback there's an ACL is something to do about it that I know that that's exactly right. Could be a rule that doesn't have much effect outside of these really bad call that we begin again that shame that that change the game.

You know that the call so I think my friend Jeff Allen know open before formal launch of it for me today. I think that was good for the trees because they got fired up the dog in the rear of the home.

Yeah, I've never seen injury that bad and so I think that that to kick them out of the swamp. They were going to put it through it, but the floor there but I think you're working there favorably to the point that your product but you ready to change games in an thing to be like the police coming out that you make that big of a difference as far as player safety Mike to be here with us. Does it surprise you that the Chiefs are once again rolling because a lot of people were doubting them this off-season and right now it's either them or Buffalo is as the best team in the NFC. I guess I seem to be the case all, every year we going to see them home paragraph and people doubt the chief I only see them put second, third, fourth in the AFC West for finishing your predictive productions. I don't understand why you want a refill, you lose your you know what your bid starts going for the season, but the players and Andy Reid's track record for being able to focusing on the talent of his guys maximize the health especially on office kicked in the position to utilize what makes them good and true particulars of a defense is no better than a happy reader so I'm not sure why I didn't think that all that going of the season. We all know this could be. Could be a problem. You have number one number one office supply. You have recorded your questions and you always got something from. I know you brought in a lot of good players at wide receiver and I thought, I'm not sure why all the hate that I'm not surprised but can't. What I am surprised about him city of a law, MD the writers like to put up with him. Everyone can't wait for this game already. On Sunday we know how it ended last year. Chiefs and the bills that I can meet up again in arrowhead this weekend, but what you think.

Decide exactly was just who has the ball last night.

Think about that you are exactly right. I think about that. The fair bet they were all well game that went my buddy to appointment to remember this really is a playoff game because being a team that for all intent and purposes are going to be fine but I wanted to spot exactly Buffalo like we don't consider going anywhere and look into. But imagine home AFC championship game for the bills like I can't even begin to think what that would be like all my saying I don't know that you can put those words.

But no, I don't think credible, and now you remember that only one primary right that you want position reporting to come down to a tiebreaker. You know it's probably between the 13th before the winter came really quickly and felt good points going to the playoffs to go. I'm glad that arrowhead nodded Buffalo. I think that that sort of one of the deciding factors that in favor of all narrative part player and credible.

Give me your thoughts on the jets. There are three into what you kinda think avoid Joe Douglas and also Robert salad all those guys are doing looking well in New York. You gotta have a talk. You gotta have a clock or toad. You gotta have a talk quarterback you got the GM and head coach, definitely. I love solid solid is a guy that I like correction writing you want to play for that guy. I think you are looking looking looking the part of your outcome. Definitely doing doing what he needs to do fired up the families I love New York. I they deserve it.

I'm so glad the project back on track and I like the prospect of the direction that they're going to give them the people that they have a truck that I am a tall young talented feels like he just wonder where they get to be next year because my dictation this year and you could go get big victories like that had early on, you know with the way they took care of Miami but I feel this is a big foundation year to set up next year. No doubt you know what you remember the first client came into the yeah we were thinking a little altered way you're going to championship in so but I'm with you I think that you're right young talent that they have and you couple that with the momentum that finger Mike to be always good to get somebody.
