The Buffalo -- schedule which has just been released by the team and will go ahead and release -- Korea game by game. Now we do know this that the bills will open up on the road but before we actually go through the game by game and the reaction to it. -- -- NCI's hi -- good evening Brian ready to. Talk a little -- slash schedule out let's let's get ready to break on the schedule absolutely -- you'll be on Twitter here again update everybody what you're doing. Area that Mario thank you so -- on here we'll get Twitter again tonight will be monitoring your tweet your questions about. Not only the draft but the schedule of course that will kind of take up a lot of the time tonight we'll Taylor hash takes gonna be -- of the -- is doing again like last night to be GR draft central let's hash tag on Twitter. WGR draft central and you wanna throw question or comment about the schedule. Do you that is well at WG archer essential -- to those. My -- -- tweets coming in of course you can jump on board you can comment on the schedule or anything draft related. -- -- likely this first hour will be heavy on the schedule and then. Will shift back into the draft. And a little bit more breakdown. On that in week to -- to Vienna and our second hour this temerity and here in the -- aren't here we go schedule breaking down here -- comments on each one. Sunday September ninth opening day I liked the bills open on a Sunday at one with most of the league kick off in a New York in New Jersey officially at the meadowlands against the New York Jets so Tebow all week one. It's a good past week to open things up for the bills and obviously I think I think that'll still be Sanchez territory but. You know you you never you never know what that that's gonna be a game that bills fans a look at -- okay is this team for real right and find out right away your team will be fully healthy dating to the first week of the season. And so that's going to be a big one. I kind of hate it it was one of my fears -- did not want this -- to open with the jets was the one team I didn't want them open with this year and the reason is. I would rather have the bills have film on how they're gonna use Tebow before they actually play the New York Jets and now that's not gonna happen so as usage -- test. Likely an underdog heading to New York. In week one week -- Sunday September 16 the bills will be home. At Ralph Wilson Stadium for their home opener one eclectic up against Kansas City. No way a winnable home game you'd say as the bills of course remember last year opened the season. In Kansas City and stunned and they pulled out yeah that -- him but Kansas City is getting Eric Berry back on the -- that are getting. Jamaal Charles back from the ACL surgery and it Hillis they're tell us they just threes they just signed in the off season so. And still some formidable foes in the Kansas City Chiefs even though their quarterback released. To write home about you know weeks three speaking to Peyton -- his former team the browns there will be the bill's opponent on Sunday September 23 week three in Cleveland. They can plan your road trip -- nice probably still very good weather in Cleveland that day 1 o'clock kick off there are weak for the bills return home. For a game that likely was the most memorable season if you were at the game last year I was luckily. It was the game to be at against Tom Brady Bill Belichick and the patriots week four against New England -- you're elegant and. A lot about this team early on going up against the jets in week one the patriots in week four they get the patriots at home because in how they if they just can't beat New England on the road so. You know what you're going to be getting into this season based on two of those first four games and and especially with week five -- that's going to be another protest. So the first quarter this season at the jets' home for Kansas City for the -- opener at Cleveland. And home for New England so to on the road to at home that's how your first quarter of the season and September looks into October. Now the bills go out west back to back road trips out west wonder how I'll handle this travel wise now. At San Francisco. On October 7 in week five and then at Arizona in week six could actually stayed out. There no no I don't think they well -- if you remember late in the year last year at the the you know kind of and I did -- earlier when a day where there early just to see if if players liked to see if that's how they want to do because they knew they had -- West Coast a couple West Coast trip so. The 49ers right after the patriots that's a half. Couple of games right in a row there and I mean is is this the tough schedule early on for the bills. Yet New England at San Francisco and Arizona three straight weeks those are are going to be very difficult and that'll -- Arizona on weeks six. In Arizona and then the week before they have the bye. Week seven on Sunday October 21 the bills -- home. For there third home game and that's against the Tennessee Titans in and Chris Johnson. And the rules -- see if I would say the -- to be favored an -- and oh yeah you I would think so as well I'd sell leisure. October look at Sanford Cisco at Arizona Tennessee week's 56 and seven and then -- week -- the bills have the by. For the probably a knowing debatable ones until the time to have a buy an undisclosed not weeks three weeks for that is I don't. Super early to me I guess is that is the undesirable yeah right right there between October November that's a good bye I like having it right. The middle I think it's great and I having -- you before you go to Houston. That's a real nice thing because you get healthy before you play team that you know it is get -- really bring it and obviously have emotional game for Mario Williams up. Frankel deal here with show this -- SL a pot CEO and a team of thousands in here in studio today -- is NFL draft central. -- will take your phone calls on the schedule released were going through it right now 8030551888. 550 to five it decent week eight the -- we move into November and the bills open up with a pair of road games. Mario Williams going back to Houston to take on his old team the Texans as a November 4 game. Against Houston and a lot of eyes will be on Mario in that game ball. Sure yeah I would I would tend to think that that'll be much hyped game especially with a weak building into it. Eat you know Williams is going to be amp up for that when he already tweeted earlier before the schedule even was released November 4 his judgment day. So you know he's ready for that one to get started and and the show them that they minute made a mistake while ago. So at Houston on November 4 in week nine in and week ten another road game at New England take on Brady of the patriots don't know England will be out of the way. By November 11 ball the meetings there five of their first nine pretty tough. I agree the schedule on Paper says it's easy it's it says it's the thirty easiest. But then they hit the next slide right and and that's word that -- a lot of -- if the bills could even to somehow be 500 through there. You'd like their chances to make four but by and for the right games there but it's one of the two. We go to week ten they return home. And this one a little different after New England a short week and they'll be home for the dolphins on Thursday November 15. That's a home night game and not Toronto Ralph Wilson Stadium up thirteen I -- the NFL network. In buffalo against the Miami Dolphins -- Marie the rivalry with the bills and dolphins has its -- its luster it'll get -- amp up that night alone Nike on the schedule and it's a home game in which I'm excited about. Definitely absolutely bills dolphins on Thursday over fifteenth that's a good way to get that rivalry were two and a little bit because it's lost it's -- in the past years now you figure here's maybe there were the streak with a this starts with Miami he had just right sergeant Miami and then right here's -- the bills have to get going. To think about a post season run Sunday November 25 after a ten day layoff after the dolphins in their in Indy against likely Andrew Luck in a bad colts team. And then ended December -- pair of home games actually technically. Three straight home games in December C four of their last five season ticket holders may not love this because that means colder weather for their home games. December 2 home for Jacksonville. December ninth. Home for Saint Louis and then December 16 home really on the road in Toronto. Against Seattle and the game in Toronto is a 405. All the home games -- the Ralph for a one except for that Thursday. Night game against Miami but Jacksonville Saint Louis Seattle all at home it's the Seahawks up at Rogers senator yeah. I was interest to see which of those teams got the draw up there. They got a December game they got the Seahawks. And there newfangled jerseys so bills fans don't have to see them up close and personal they don't make the trip to Toronto but and I'm sure. Out of all the teams on the schedule may be you know Jacksonville. Bills fans probably would have been able to do with out I think Seattle would have been a close second I agree just. Except for the Marshawn Lynch angle that might be the only reason why people might -- he -- their for that one. So you might wanna throw Saint Louis -- the mix as well but you know any one of those three teams I think bill's fans have been happy with sending that came to Toronto revenue divisional game or anything else. So officially on the schedule for. Of their last five or at home. And that may have a gripe with fans because the cold weather games usually -- struggled with sellout. Now the bills are winning out there -- a different -- -- -- -- the bills themselves have a grip of the schedule because that's two straight years for the having. Heavy -- on all of December home games and even if the team is on the bubble. It is tough to sell those December games and people know in all its holiday season money's tight though if the weather's bad. Last year their home games ended up being great in terms of whether but they are again heavy. At home in December for the last five at home in December again one of those in Toronto. Sunday December 23 nice thing here there is no Christmas Eve Christmas Day. The block all last year there was it a day -- -- senior -- game on Christmas Eve against Denver they're in Miami. So you're going to Miami December that's a nice time to do it. If you're gonna make a road trip there or bills players themselves may be happy to get out of the cold to go to Miami in week sixteen and and finish up the season a week seventeen. They open at the jets they'll finish at home Balkans against the jets. And at that will be on Sunday December 30. And at 1 o'clock kick off so in terms of the highlights of the schedule. At the jets to start the home opener is week two against Kansas City all the home games are won the except for the following a Thursday night game. Against the dolphins on November 15. And then a four all five kick off that officially a home game but is up in Toronto at the Rogers Centre the only other games that are not at one. Are the two games on the West Coast on the road and that'll be in week. Five and weeks six at -- Cisco and at Arizona the entire schedule we. Apple to have it up on WGR by fifty dot com and Marty has -- the unit to college of that so you can go to -- GR 550 dot com and check it out there. And we wanna get your reaction here on the schedule what do you like what you don't like. Open and on the road. Four of five home games in December is that good is that a bad thing. Are you inspired all by these games to go lot by season tickets. 8030558030551888552. By did you got lines open so if you get in you can beyond this segment right here to join us. -- essential as will spend most of our. At least the first portion of the show tonight here. Not reacting to the schedule which again you can find at WGR 550 dot com an oddity that I. Took a look at here with the schedule the bills will play the patriots twice before even facing the dolphins once. Ball dolphins -- second half of the year back the last. Seven weeks they now put Miami once until mid November and then they play him again obviously mid December but they'll actually have three. Division games in the patriots twice in the jets once before even getting to the dolphins which is kind of interest and. And there's always talk about that when the Miami game is because of the humidity yes they got it in December late December so that's that's so that's a win for that question for you guys. With the -- everybody wants the Miami to play in buffalo in December it's always ballots can hear snell. Which rather of this setup prime time in November. In Orchard Park or have them. And I Sunday afternoon in mid to late December men know what's more of -- advantage in November at nine I think so -- I think that's a great seller. -- I'm. That we knew that they were gonna be a Thursday night game I was hoping it was going to be at home. And it is so I guess I'm excited to see that. On and it is a game also worth being excited about it's not a night game against Jackson. Jacksonville seemed like they were on Thursday night football league ten times last year it maybe just of the games are so awful from. It may -- think of them but. Saint Louis which really be that excited about for night it's Miami. It's gonna be game you know that you're gonna need to win. Coming off gains. Joey we mention that stretch of new wing -- at San Francisco at Arizona -- about off the -- at Houston at new week. No I mean those are two playoffs I mean Arizona might be might not be included in tough one on me -- Arizona's going to be right exactly the jets the patriots the 49ers the Texans the patriots five of those nine are tough games to open up the year so. -- You know the schedule kind of opens up you would think in the second half the year with the dolphins -- -- jaguars rams Seahawks dolphins in the jets again so. If they can somehow get to a foreign five or maybe a five and four record through those first nine games -- so they can really rip off a lot of wins in a row against them. Pretty -- competition through -- for the latter half of the season. And you know that and that's where you might be able to look into whether or not this team -- a playoff team so it's all about keeping their head above the water and and and go from there I mean it's. They should be able to compete with the jets I think there's a there's a good. Enough. Talent base on this team now to sit here and say all right they can compete with the jets every every time -- played them now that they can get. You know on Paper pressure on the quarterback and make Sanchez what a little bit which -- Didn't really do that in that second contest they played in the second half anyway. So if if they can get to him and maybe sneak out a win bear. You have the chiefs and browns back to back yourself up with with with equality start your season and then from there that's when. The -- part of the schedule right -- to England San Francisco Arizona Tennessee which might be a sneaky tough game they went nine and seven last year and in Houston into England again. I one thing you're too because I've gotten RD three tweets about it. The NFL network game people -- concern that don't have NFL network here's the deal if the game sells out you're gonna see it because. Of the local rights to the broadcast is that you'll see it. On I would I'm guessing on channel seven locally here in buffalo of the game so that applies doubly KB -- still has the rights to the pre season right there via the official TV station. -- the Buffalo Bill so if the game sells out and meets the dead that the black out deadlines whatever it is for that week it will be on local TV regardless. Of whether you actually have NFL network and I know many people that have Time Warner. You don't have obviously NFL network that will matter that week if the game just sells out like it normally should. And I'll think they're gonna have much problems with that it being the first primetime game in buffalo in awhile so. I think that the bull. Probably he sold out pretty quickly just because in all the environment around that type of game and the fact that. It's pretty winnable game against -- rivaled that. Perhaps like I said before has lost it's luster a little bit but you know there's nothing there's no better medicine and put in the Thursday night game in and see how it goes from there. 803055188550. To 515 your thoughts on the schedule. Let's grab a call here and JT and Hamilton's with a high JT. -- -- -- I think it's horrible I think it follows up mobile clear last year. Christmas -- game. Perhaps all going to be an interesting game and Toronto against Washington and of course a bit in the trial for -- games and now. In December I get better things to do that two exhibition games -- way better things to do not think. -- -- -- Appreciate ATI I think that's the worst part of the schedule. I think the bills are looking at again and again and going really and they gotta do this and that there are not opponents. That would draw you if Denver is one of those teams and it's Peyton Manning. You you can get a couple extra apple saying I'm gonna I'm gonna go to -- -- Peyton Manning or you know if it's the Super Bowl champ giants are. If it's one of those really ticket drawing teams like that. It's Jacksonville. And -- Lewis Brian in December but Bryant it's they had Tebow year last year. And on Christmas Eve and the bills were eliminated it doesn't. Yeah I mean they had Tebow here and he was the being at that moment and it was the worst crowd and long time there was that. At a Christmas Eve had something to do that I think the weather and the bills the bills. Being where they were at where it was such a disappointment because of what the expectation was after that great start to the year fans were or not -- -- about buying tickets but. Are you really talked about going to sit in cold -- -- the jaguars the rams. Let's just hope those games means and if they mean something. I don't think people care as much about the weather. However to just go out there if the season is over by December which in a lot of the season has been over the last decade it has been one I would guess. We gotta hope that the success on the field but those games on December 2 and December ninth. Which ends up being the week 1415. There -- -- thirteen to fourteen there's still going to be and it we would help if not. It's gonna be a disastrous finish because that would be if -- if they're basically limited by December. That means you're gonna get for blackouts in December and 8030550. Rankled you'll hear jobless -- up a populist checking your tweets we will get a break in here more highlights of the schedule from. That big national games. Will go through a little bit some of those but that we wanna get your reaction here you can send us a tweet on Twitter hash tag WGR draft central. Of course phone calls 8030550. Back after this on WGR. Seven point nine welcome back NFL draft central presented by do you built college educated for life. Brought you also part by outlet liquor what's your outlet and by buffalo man's health. Practice. -- -- studio Frankel deal with you at seven point nine along with -- stallion who will be. Given us your draft expertise every night -- seven and nine up until next Thursday night's draft. Sell a pot GO following everything that they need to do on our Twitter account you can just send us a text -- -- -- -- -- a -- week. With the hash tag WGR draft central if you wanna comment on the schedule. We'd love to have that you can welcome we welcome your phone -- 803055188. By fifty to 550 is the number. Basically the quick highlights the team the bills that is opening. This VS season on the road. At the New York Jets in week one on September ninth at 1 o'clock in the home openers the following week on the sixteenth against Kansas City at one the bills have a bye in week eight. And then finish with four out of five at home got a great tweet about that a metres a second. And maybe the highlighted his schedule a home Thursday night game against the dolphins. On November 15 at 820 Ralph Wilson Stadium the game in Toronto is Seattle. On December 16 but four out of five. At home in December and I'll go ahead and throw myself in this mix. Got a tweet in here and I think it's a really good one. Talking about the fact that the bills bills fans -- basically are contradicting themselves. And the tweet says here. That's from Michael I think Michael did a great job of point this out says I love seeing -- bills fans are gonna complain about 4 December home games. But then we'll complain when the talk of a dome stadium comes up. Make up your mind. A couple of notes on the -- I know probably don't stadium I think it actually would help us in many ways with a retractable roof a go. A couple of notes on the schedule that game the bills are coming off the bye week Houston will also be coming off the bye week. And I had a heading into that week nine game and new England and when they take him on a week and they'll be coming off the bye we can we hasn't been like after -- it was for like six straight years or something New England played the bills after their -- let the bills are not playing any other team off their bye week besides the two. Okay well that's that's fair enough and look at I got. A same kind of attack that we hear Brian and -- just. Chime in on this. Sarah WNY says. Hate the whining about December home games built Obama cold I love it may not buffalo and that she says that she's a season ticket holder and loves it up. I don't mind. I remember when they were going to Super Bowls late December home games were huge advantage this team because their playoff race and it was very hard to beat them. Now get this team is not that team. But if they're in a playoff race that is a big advantage and they'll sell out there will be no problem. I'll get some calls and it's four of the last five. At home in December but seven of the first eleven on the run on the road when that went away it's pretty nice so. Are we talking here -- when you look at his schedule are you looking at it in terms of all right I'm not happy that I got to go sit in the cold. -- that when it's gorgeous out I'm sitting inside watching on TV or are you look at it from a competitive aspect and saying. Well. Is home field advantage for the bills more of an advantage in the cold and four out of their last five will help. In their push toward the playoffs. And where are -- on the on the the tweets about. Well bill's fans dole keeps saying don't know the -- don't pull the dome that's not what buffalo fans are all about well -- you can't complain about for the final last home so. Which is it 8030550. And 188552. By fifty. John and buffalo is with us next hi John. -- -- -- -- A political question about the other during the draft and you're thinking about literal possibilities and I -- yesterday at a talk about Michael Floyd used hot topic. But I I -- rejection of the interest and I'm wondering if Floyd isn't there it wide receiver between the second or third round. By the name of Brian quick pretty good upside. Also are thinking about a late round steal at linebacker he would. It reputation for being hot and in you know kind of Iraqi -- -- looked -- -- probably got here Lawson played actually really good linebacker. Net aren't they perfect alcohol certainly daily -- beleaguered. Thanks John -- well in the case of perfect he might not -- to draft and anymore. He is rubs teams the wrong way there's talks and that is one teammate always had to line him up in it in a certain spot I think someone reported that a few months ago. And once that team it was injured he -- he looked kinda lost out there and not not a very instinctive player and and so he's kind of going down boards because of his off the you know. He he's kind of off his rocker from from most from what most people say that I have spoken with him and he has even gone to a pre draft visit this year. And there is once a rumor that said the browns would be interested in giving him a late round book the browns refuted that report a day later. It's a whole that it's not looking too promising for about as perfect as -- when he said Brian quick yes for a wide receiver from apple -- state big tall guy. Runs a good forty. His and separation abilities -- -- question and in the pros it's going to be an adaptation process for him especially coming from sell smaller school. 734 NFL draft central here on LE GR rankles -- was -- we of course welcome your draft questions as we just did you wanna react to the schedule. 8030551888552550s. -- a -- -- also checking your tweets coming in hash tag WGR Dre. Sent to our first one tonight guys come to us from sport smashed her for VR. No idea what that means we've got to -- -- -- -- really bad for the bills to pick two offensive players with their first two picks or sample linebacker defensive end or some sort of combo right there in dress that -- now at all I mean. If if they believe that they can complete the defense by taking a quarter or well. It probable defenseman in the first because but he next sentence says much that there reached her defense of that. So if they take quarter in the first round maybe grab a linebacker defense of that in the second round I would I would be perfectly with that I think. I think the more pieces they add to the puzzle that. That can potentially help that defense take the next step because now Dave Wannstedt is coming in with a lot of expectations that he's gonna turn the unit around. The certainly got a lot matters stopping the run last year but. The downside of that is that there pass defense severely struggled because they can put pressure on the quarterback. Now they have a couple of guys they think can do that and I need to corners to stick on and on their man and and they were ago. Defense defense would be opposed but. You still have to think about the offense to addressing that need in the second in the third round wide receiver often to tackle some -- -- -- mixed use so. You know it doesn't really matter the order that they do address these needs just that they do and and put some guys in in some spots where they can compete for starting jobs. You know 30550. Question on the draft or reaction -- the schedule we welcome that with you here on WGR. Next to Rochester and Mike I'm Mike you're on the -- had. I so you you're talking about -- nonetheless are pouring in for more affordable side. That is being at home games and how that's an advantage. With the weather and everything but -- Well isn't I guess first is that is is that a moment do you think it's a home field advantage. Personally I'd do what I mean we are pretty -- pretty easy schedule the last app for this isn't so mean. I'm sort of mad that we didn't get that pop -- scheduled Pierre and when we can actually use that court advantage. In my comment my committee anymore. Thanks Mike yeah. You know I think I saw Gregg Rosenthal who works for nfl.com. Now I think I think between itself and earlier today that the Bengals got ahead of -- -- steam last year they. At a pretty easy schedule leading up. To that ended the season they didn't play Pittsburgh Baltimore until weeks of the week ten week eleven of the season by that point they were already established in the playoff -- really give a lot of confidence. You know the bills. While they -- A young team -- that they do have some some pieces in there that have been starting for a while. You know they they are still a team that are trying to learn how to win and going up against New England San Francisco in a row going up against New York to Begin the season. Going up against Houston in New England back to back on the road I mean these are tough games for a team like that that's that's trying to build that foundation of how to put string wins together. And more than just a seven week -- so. This'll be I certainly big test and I you know the caller does have some points I think if they -- -- start off with this dolphins colts jaguars rams Seahawks dolphins stretch. You know you could be looking at a team that stir -- -- But the in the opposite side of that the -- advocates side is saying. While he wanna see if this team has what it takes early on to see if there actually contenders rather than pretenders because you know early in the year last year the -- Kansas City and and old and a few BC Oakland -- trying to. In -- got worse as the season went along New England it was a good team but you know these teams that kind of -- people think of whether or not the bills were actually for real. Chris are on Twitter -- I liked this question because I think that that it's changed the answer over last this year compared to other years because of the salary cap in the SEV in the slotting. The question is basically what would be the cost of either trading up from ten if they were tried yet. In what would it take to trade down from -- so what -- value is there how -- we talk and -- I would say let's just talk -- To fire six or somewhere in there and let's talk let's say somewhere around. Eighteen to. There would likely episode swap first rounder is and then. Give give up their second round pick maybe get fourth -- to. You know it is good. Twice would be high and buddy nix has said he doesn't like to give up picks don't be flying in the face of X tackle buddy -- is saying so I think the prospects of that. Are entirely unlikely in terms of trading down there -- trade to trade down eighteen. I mean the difference between ten and eighteen on the value chart that's pretty big pretty big it's pretty big so you wouldn't be getting at least -- second rounder. You know may be media third -- media fourth or fifth -- you'd be getting some quality compensation for a jumped out like that. 740s a time let's get an update here from Tom in the the goals are continuing in the first game of the night between Florida and New Jersey will have an update there we come back. Where does the bills jets week one opener rank among the rest of the week one games. And -- Peyton Manning opening up. His season in a bronco uniform get the openers and the money nineteenth two member at the doubleheader Monday night in week once a -- lots to get to terms of the rest of the NFL in the highlights there to -- playing on Thanksgiving what it's all that in there as well.

I do so with a hash tag on Twitter WGR draft central if you wanna see the bills' schedule you can go to our website WGR. 550 dot com the bills. Open up on the road in New York against the jets and likely. That will be one of the highlighted gains of the Sunday broadcast schedule on that opening kick off weekend on September ninth. If you're looking at in terms of how much exposure will that bills get jets -- get I'm guessing that it will be the top game. CBS only has five games to broadcast of the of their AFC wrote there AFC teams. I'm playing on the road that day there are all at one because of the men's US open tennis finals that at four that day so. Your other CBS gains are colts bears who jaguars a vikings also -- yes dolphins Texans that's. The often does -- not there patriots titans but that. Bills jets we as the with Tivo Tivo. -- a lot that's going to be Nance now and I'm just not able to top crew and I'm just isn't he liked games Sanchez vs -- right vs the bill -- so. You can expect that CBS that game's gonna go to most of the nation on CBS in Nantz and Simms and Italy CBS a pop -- -- up that'll be their big one with Tebow there and you know every play that Tebow gets in is getting Iran highlight signed sports and every and any other channel a broken down to death that nauseam. And by the way and we're gonna get all weak read on Twitter read on the blogs read on everybody. I got knowledge about the -- They don't just fine with me this -- does let that happen I don't care let them deal with that in the bills can go there like -- in Kansas City last year focused. After that bills jets game's over you can relax hopefully the bulls might be at that point one -- -- the best game of the four clocks only three of them. San Francisco at Green -- 49ers. Packers there. And then the night game Peyton Manning shocking the Broncos make it to the Sunday night game with Peyton Manning. They host the Pittsburgh steelers' second match in Denver so Steelers Broncos that opening -- team that's a good match up a lot of the Monday night doubleheader. 7 o'clock game the Bengals and the ravens in Baltimore. Let's hope Cincinnati. I don't Cincinnati's. Gonna come back and bounce back they've had given good run at the end of the year last year and which seems like a match up almost every year. In that West Coast game Oakland San Diego yes -- -- west they are the other Broncos chargers and raiders the only teams a lot of playing that game it's like it's those three accommodation to out of those three -- charters that raiders. The second game at 1015 I wish they would do would double money in all the time 7 o'clock and 10 o'clock which negated every week I know. Its opening week it's logistically it's off it is but half which they can do it so often no matter. What time on the East Coast you gotta go to sleep that year at least getting a full game in for the people on the West Coast that hate the fact that. Their teams have to play at 4 and 5 o'clock. Well the West Coast into it is always -- the 10 o'clock game that we put the Thanksgiving games out there yeah let's get those in week twelve. Decent. Scheduled for Thanksgiving which sometimes is awful the first game in Detroit has Houston. In Detroit that could be fun. Second game Washington at Dallas lot of tradition there. And the nightcap team new England. And New York Jets which is turning into one of the best rivalries in the NFL. -- -- all three of those contests up I like RG three go to Dallas for the first time I think that that'll be a lot of fun to to watch unfold. On a full belly so I'm I'm looking forward to it. 8030550. Let's go back here got a question on the draft or to schedule or who were bouncing back and forth here. And we welcome your calls bill in Laporte is with us now hi bill. Get a guys couple great broke quick an elite I -- trade up -- down in a corner and are you guys show. -- you personally I would love to -- now premiere last obviously. But we don't like and and you're able -- while we have knees with you know left tackle receiver. All outside linebacker. And I just thought I'm Anna Russell Wilson -- I love -- -- Some you know you gain their concert in these mobile. I heard that he's a leader yet in candle and all 511. I tend Drew Brees is six. 64 and I just I thought I might have heard that -- Senior Bowl wasn't the greatest fighters want see what your thoughts on him we like quarterbacks maybe the middle route does. -- -- -- -- -- -- And -- Carol thank you I think Russell Wilson has replaced Kellen Moore as though the bills fans -- favor quarterback to draft in the turnarounds. Wilson is 52 and medio -- high end of 510 and you know I think he would be a good option to bring in at at four in that fourth round territory but like I said last night I don't think he'll ever be a starter. I think he's a guy that can come and be a spot starter from time to time when there's an injury to your starting quarterback. He'll be a good guy to come in and compete he can do some some things. On offense that. That may put him in that fourth round mold that. -- give him the ability to. You know overcome his slate -- a little bit and in terms of trading down I think the build up to I think that would love to get out of ten it's just finding -- Trey Parker do and and that's where you have to go from there. All right Joseph thank you more on the draft Ellis talk more draft next hour 8030550. If you wanna chime in on the schedule again you can check it out at WGR 550 dot com.
