Speaker 1: the Bulldogs? Are they like off the charts? Oh my god,

27
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? It's like a country club here is.

28
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And I'll tell you what, but I listen

29
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: to this, listen to the I mean, look, I mean

30
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: these this is the home of the Red and Black,

31
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: but the red and black nose had to roll out

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: the red carpet. I mean, Steve, I pull up here

33
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: and I'm looking like where, you know, where do I park?

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to get my rental car tow the

35
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: whole thing. They got a spot that says reserved for

36
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills on Monday on a barricade outside the athletic complex.

37
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, they you know, they're used to

38
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: hosting scouts and stuff, you know, to watch players all fall.

39
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: So this is like I'm small potatoes by comparison, So

40
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting this kind of come on. I'll take

41
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: it every day of the week. I know this. I

42
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: know better than that. You rolled up, they had a

43
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: parking spot for you. You You rolled in like you were

44
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: the owner of the bills. I mean, come you rock then,

45
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: like you were tarring. You're like, oh, hey, oh, excuse me,

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I where's my where's my spot? Where's my coffee? You

47
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: don't get me a sandwich? Yeah? I know that. Can

48
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I get a cucumber of water? Right? That is awesome.

49
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: So here's the thing that people forget about because you

50
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: go to these schools like Alabama, like you know, like Georgia, Clemson, LSU,

51
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: all of them, Notre Dame. The thing that you forget

52
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: that that's so different about these college facilities. Now, they're

53
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: all great, and they're all unique, and they're all off

54
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the charts cool and awesome, but they're also for like

55
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty guys. They're gigantic. And the bill

56
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: you come to the bills thing, you're most guys from

57
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: the pro from the college ranks are shocked at how

58
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: small it is. It's only fifty sixty guys in the

59
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: room at the most, right, So you come into the bill,

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: it's more intimate downsize on the physical scale of it,

61
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: because you know, you don't have one hundred and you

62
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: don't have eighty guys on scholarship and one hundred and

63
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: fifty walk ons. Right, it's just you know, the eighty

64
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: five guys on scholarship and I mean on under contract

65
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: and that's all you got. So the buildings and the

66
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: facilities are literally cut in half from the size of

67
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: these Power five schools. Right, oh yeah, definitely, it's amazing.

68
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, these these guys just redid their whole facility.

69
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: I think from the last year or two. I heard, um,

70
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: you knows it's big time college football man, big time

71
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: full time stuff. And a former Bill there works for him,

72
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: right yeah, Jonas Jennings as we know as their director

73
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: of player development. I tried to catch up with him,

74
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: but Kirby gave the football department like four days off,

75
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: so nice. You know, the grinders that are here, you know,

76
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: people like Claude Claude Felton and Leyland Barrow in the

77
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: sports information department are the guy's taking care of me? Wait,

78
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: you're on first name basis with Kirby. Smart. Kirby gave

79
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: the guys of no, not me, not me you just

80
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: called him Kurby me, man, that's funny. Yeah, well, I mean,

81
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: well that's what I was. Still Kirby gave him some

82
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: time off here before they reset the clocks and start

83
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: all over again, just like we do in the NFL.

84
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: It's interesting too because at the college level, these power

85
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: five schools, those guys are there through the off season

86
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: because they're going to class, right, and they've got all

87
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: that stuff's open to them. They still feed them, they

88
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: still train them, they still spend time with them, although

89
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: you know the time is limited by the by the rules,

90
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: but those guys are like there for months on end, right,

91
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: m oh yeah. And they got you know, the pro

92
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: day coming up, that's the next big event, and you

93
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: know they'll be having the scouting world descending on this

94
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: campus like a lot of the other campuses around the country,

95
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, pretty soon. Not only for you know, the

96
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be in this draft class,

97
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: as you know Steve, a lot of times the schools

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: will also allow their junior class that you know, doesn't

99
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: declare for the draft to kind of work out so

100
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: scouts can get early eyeballs on those guys to almost

101
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: prepare for the next year of scouting, right, you know. Yeah,

102
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting too that because that is a big deal.

103
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys, can you imagine that it's like

104
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: your your biggest job interview, and not only is like

105
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: for school Like Georgia, you'll have like the president of

106
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: the company in the job interview kind of thing, right,

107
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you got the head coach and the GM

108
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: and you got some real You're not just talking to

109

Speaker 1: an HR person. You're talking to you. You know, the

110
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: biggest names in the building are watching you specifically. It's

111
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool and it's a big moment for these

112
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: guys and they they hone in on it and taper

113
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: off their training and everything's focused on that pro day.

114
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: If indeed they're not going to the combine. Some of

115
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: them do both obviously, but it's interesting. It's fun too.

116
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Now that you're in Athens and we're gonna see you tomorrow.

117
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: You'll be back with us in Indianapolis when we get

00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: there tonight. All right, we're gonna convene on the combine

119
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: and some of these Georgia players is going to be there.

120
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, twelve of them in fact, So yeah, we

121
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: heard Jalen Carter's not taking Alabama's. Yeah, well, Jaylen Carter,

122
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna do interviews and his physical you know, the

123
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: medical stuff in Indy. But he's doing his workout here

124
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: at the UGA Pro Day. So let's just say that'll

125
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: be heavily attended. I mean, that guy's gonna be off

126
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: the board by pick three and that's with quarter that's

127
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: counting quarterbacks. So yeah, and his teammate or I think

128
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: we'd all love to see in a Bill's uniform that

129
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: left tackle Broderick Williams. They got him coming off the

130
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: board at like fifteen sixteen. Now, I don't know if

131
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the Bills even get a sniff of him. What he

132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: gonna be. Is he gonna be at the combine? You

133
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: think those guys are they just gonna do it? I

134
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: get what you said, they're gonna be there, but they're

135
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: just some of guys and SAT So I mean these guys,

136
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: that Georgia guys, all these guys in the SEC. I mean,

137
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: just look at the tape. You don't need to I mean,

138
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: all running the Pro day maybe, but I mean how

139
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: much do you need to see these guys? What they

140
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: really want to do, and we talk about it all

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the time is they want to sit down and talk

142
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: to the kid and right and interview them and then

143
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: get their hand doctor's hands on them to you know,

144
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: make sure that they're one hundred percent healthy basically, but

145
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: they just want to see what kind of guy he is, right, Yeah,

146
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: And we kind of started seeing the reports trickling out

147
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: over the weekend Steve about and mainly the focus, as

148
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: is always the case, is on the quarterbacks. And so

149
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the NFL network guys and national reporters

150
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: were kind of reporting who would be doing stuff, who

151
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing stuff. So the latest right now is

152
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State quarterback CJ. Stroud is going to throw at

153
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the combine, Alabama's Bryce Young is going to wait until

154
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: his protay so he's not throwing. And then you got

155
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: that Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson, who's kind of a multiple

156
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: piece of clay if you like what he has to

157
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: offer that he's the classic elite physical traits guy, but

158
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have the stats to back him up. He's the

159
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of guy that's going to do all testing and

160
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: drills right right, and so, you know, physically gifted kid,

161
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: but what's he gonna be able to show and then

162
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: the Kentucky kid, Will Levis, he's gonna throw, So that's

163
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: another top quarterback that's gonna go. And then you know

164
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: they look at some of the top pass rushers too.

165
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: At Alabama edge guy Will Anderson, he's going to a

166
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: reportedly do some of the on field work at the

167
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: combine and he's been put in the linebacker group as

168
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. But then you got that Texas tech kid,

169
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson, He's supposed to be like a top ten pick.

170
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's got a fractured foot, so he's not

171
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna do anything right because he's flat out not ready.

172
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: And then as I said, Jalen Carter's gonna do interviews

173
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: in his physical and indie, but he's not gonna do

174
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: any of the workout stuff there. He's gonna do it

175
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: all here in Athens for his pro day. Right now.

176
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks, that's kind of the rundown the top guys. Yeah,

177
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: and as you might expect, they're holding out the money

178
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: positions until Saturday. We'll be back here in Buffalo. But

179
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: on Saturday, a week from you know, on this coming Saturdays,

180
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: when the quarterbacks go because they want to put it

181
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: on the weekend, so maybe some fans will show up

182
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: and that you know, all of that, those guys don't throw.

183
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks don't throw until March fourth, Saturday. Yeah, so

184
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: that you know, young it makes sense, you know, have

185
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: when fans are off of work at the end of

186
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: the week, maybe you get a better turn out and

187
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: put the quarterbacks in. Then that's why they kind of

188
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: flipped everything. It's always about the quarterback. Steve, we know this, right, Well,

189
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: that's the way it is. And I'll say this, we

190
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: were talking about it today. I think for Bills fans

191
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: these last couple of years, you know, give her and

192
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: except for the maybe the Ed Oliver since the Ed

193
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: Oliver Draft when when the Bills were picking ten, right

194
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: or ten or eleven they picked ninth that year. Yeah, right,

195
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: that it's like we're picking twenty fifth, we're picking twenty seventh,

196
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: We're picking what twenty second, where you know people are

197
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: like Rousseau was thirtieth, right. I mean, it's like this

198
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: isn't quite as you know, I don't I don't have

199
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: like not in my throat hoping that EJ. Manual comes

200
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: shows up, right. I mean, we've lived there, man, we

201
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: were there for a long time. The last time you

202
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: really felt it was when when Mayfield and Darnald and

203
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: Josh and Lamar and Josh Rosen come out. We just

204
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: we were all waiting on that. That was unbelievable. Now

205
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, we feel like you've got to feel

206
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: feel here that build the Chiefs that you know, Bengals.

207
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: You feel like your core group is pretty much chiseled

208
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: in stone, right, and now it's like, okay, what can

209
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: let's let's fill on the edges of the roster man.

210
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: That changes everything for a bit fan base, don't you

211
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: think I would say? So? Yeah? Um, the Bears might

212
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: be the exception to that rule because nobody's quite sure

213
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: what the heck's gonna happen there. You see that come

214
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: down from Schefter this morning. The Bears already have been

215
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: approached by multiple teams about trading out of the first pick,

216
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: and Chicago is said to be leaning toward moving the pick,

217
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: which would mean they're banking on justin fields going forward.

218
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be multiple bidders for that with all

219
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: these teams so thirsty for a quarterback, and there's it's

220
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: interesting too, because there are some differences in these quarterbacks,

221
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: you and I, You and I. I think both of us.

222
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna speak for you, but I like Stroud

223
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: better than I like Bryce Young. Um. Yeah, just for

224
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: a number of reasons that you know, who knows whether

225
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm right or wrong, and the reasons are irrelevant. I

226
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: like him better. Um. I've seen some film on both

227
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: of them. I've watched them both play, the size the

228
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: strength of both of them, seen him make throws, watched

229
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: them play, and I've heard articles written read articles written

230
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: about the two of them. I like Stroud better, and

231
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: I may be absolutely out of my mind, but that's

232
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: what I feel like today. I'm gonna maybe I'll have

233
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: a different opinion tomorrow in Indianapolis when we get there.

234
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: But all these teams interesting. Yeah. The interesting thing that

235
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: I was reading about Bryce Young was he has worked

236
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: very hard to add lean muscle mass to his frame

237
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: because he knows the biggest concerned with his game is

238
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: his durability because he's five eleven and one seventy eight

239
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: during the season, So he's tried to work to put

240
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: lean muscle mass on for the better part of the

241
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: last two months. And I mean, I don't know how

242
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: much you can pack on that fast and how much

243
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: of that you can even consider natural weight. I mean,

244
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: as soon as he starts practicing every day in training camp,

245
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: that stuff's gonna melt right off again, isn't it. Yes?

246
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: I Now, certainly we've seen guys at other positions transform

247
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: their bodies. Okay, what you're what Bryce Young is being

248
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: asked to do, what he's purportedly doing and thinking it

249
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: needs to do, is to put on some weight and

250
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: make himself more durable. You know. It's it's you have

251
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: to be kind of thick to absorb the physical collisions

252
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get in the pros. I don't know

253
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be enough. And plus you're I say,

254
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: for instance, you got a guy like Bryce Young, and

255
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at it like say, a thirteen to fifteen

256
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: year career and normally on a quarterback for a franchise.

257
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: How you're looking thirteen to sixteen year career right a

258
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: decade and a half. So you're gonna tell me from

259
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: now because of he's coming out of college. Now, he's

260
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna try for the rest of his career to be

261
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: big enough and thick enough and to remain so so

262
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: that he can handle the physical punishments of the position. Well,

263
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: not for nothing. Steve five eleven two hundred is small. Yeah,

264
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: he he was previously he was tiny and I mean

265
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: he's not much bigger than me. And well, I mean

266
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: I remember Kyler Murray. There was a big discussion about

267
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: his durability conference with Kyler Murray. Is he's got a

268
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: thick bill, very thick. You know, he's very muscular, he's packed,

269
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: and he's and he's very quick twitch. Um, he's different,

270
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: he's different. You're looking at a guy that makes two

271
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: a tongue of vloa looked like a fullback right right

272
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: he is, Yeah, he's mad. He makes two A look

273
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: thick and burly, and you know that that's I think

274
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: that's an enormous issue. I worry about it. And not

275
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: only that, Steve, Like, let's just say you're the Indianapolis

276
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: Colts and you have a shot at Bryce Young, you

277
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: better get that line fixed in a hurry, because well, yeah,

278
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: that offensive line was was terrible last year. It regressed horribly. Um.

279
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: I know Matt Ryan's lack of his capability was probably

280
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: a part of that equation, but I mean they previously

281
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: had a second round pick in Braydon Smith, a first

282
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: round pick in Quenton Nelson, and I don't know what happened,

283
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: but it's like the apple truck overturned there and suddenly

284
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't protect anymore, right, And Matt Ryan looked like

285
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: a sitting duck because he's, you know, not escaping the

286
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: pocket at age thirty nine. And that season went south fast.

287
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: So if you're going to draft a guy where durability

288
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: is a legitimate concern, you better be beefing up that

289
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: offensive line to protect him as best as you possibly can.

290
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: And they had just they had draft to remember Quenton Nelson,

291
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: the draft pick they had as playing left guard, who

292
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: was a dynamite rookie, was an All Pro as a rookie,

293
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: was good, and they paid him, and then all of

294
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, he can't play. It's an issue up there,

295
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: and you've got to have answers for that. They've got

296
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: to do it right. I mean, you got to start

297
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: doing that in free agency. You've got to start signing

298
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman and getting those big guys in front

299
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: of him before you ever picked this guy. Even if

300
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: you end up picking a guy like will Levi Levis

301
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: or any of these other qbs. You gotta you know,

302
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, you know, Bryce Younger, CJ. Scroud, pick, take

303
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: your pick. If you're the Colts, you gotta have that

304
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: offensive line like today, not like next year after his

305
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: rookie year when he's been sacked seventy times. You know. So, oh,

306
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Sometimes they think, well, they got the

307
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: quarterback this year, and they're gonna fix the offensive line. Nick. Now, No,

308
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: if you gotta pick a young quarterback, start working on

309
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: that stuff now. And I mean, I mean that's job one.

310
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: The Bills would have been better off in twenty eighteen

311
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: and when Josh decided they were gonna have to play,

312
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: if they would have started get an offensive lineman right away, right,

313
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: I mean right away. If you knew you were going

314
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback, the rest of your draft should

315
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: have been wide receivers and offensive lineman. And it wasn't.

316
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: And they ended up Josh ended up throwing to Kelvin

317
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Benjamin and Bob Foster. You know, it's rough. You know,

318
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: maybe they get there a little bet. Maybe he's a

319
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: little faster on the development, maybe he's a little bit healthier,

320
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't get whacked in the pocket in Houston.

321
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: He didn't miss four games all of that stuff. So yeah,

322
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: that I don't I don't know why these teams get caught.

323
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh this we do. We think we got our guy.

324
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: It's too bad we didn't have an offensive line ready

325
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: for him when he came in. It ain't that hard.

326
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: Stop stop. They got drafting safeties and corners and get

327
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. Yeah, they've got they've got work to do there.

328
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they have some building blocks, but they've got

329
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: some work to do for sure. So if they're I

330
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: mean they're at four and now if they move up

331
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: to get you know, Young, or maybe they're the trade

332
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: partner with the Bears, well you know Carter's gonna be there.

333
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: You gotta think about that too, right, you gotta think

334
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: there's four guys. If there's four guys there, say it's Stroud, Richardson,

335
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: Levis and Young and no ticular order, you know you're

336
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna get one of them, right. I don't know if

337
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: the I don't know if everybody believes that the value

338
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: on Levis matches up with top five. No, kid, Yes,

339
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. But if you're gonna do that,

340
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: all you really have to do is switch with one

341
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: team one of those teams, and your ability to do

342
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: that sits much better for the Bears if you're the

343
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: Colts doing it at number four, and the Bears just

344
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: you know, you get this year's one and next year's

345
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: one and the four pick instead of the twelve pick,

346
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So that you're you've got

347
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: a lot of cash to spend a lot of a

348
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: lot of assets to get that number one pick if

349
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: you're the Colts, even if you want it from the Bears,

350
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: Carolina at nine is considered another team that might be

351
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: willing to move up, so they're another potential trade partner.

352
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: I'd be curious because while you'd say, as the Bears

353
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: do we want to slide down to nine, the appeal

354
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: of that is Carolina has got to give up the

355
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: farm to get up there. Well, here's the thing, Brownie.

356
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: What the Bears could do is trade at four or

357
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: maybe you know, trade to four with Arizona or Indianapolis

358
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: or Indianapolis. Yeah, trade with four to four with Indianapolis

359
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: and then trade to number nine with Carolina, and then

360
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: Carolina gets at least one of those guys. You know

361
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, trade it twice Carolinas is hard. If

362
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: Carolina is determined to get one of those top two

363
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: guys and they're willing to talk turkey with the Bears,

364
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to give up a king's ransom, like

365
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: as the Bears. Oh, Houston wants to switch places with us,

366
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get their one, you know, at pick two,

367
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: and then we get an extra two and or a three.

368
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean you know, but if you trade with Carolina,

369
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: you get a one this year, maybe a one next

370
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: year and a two also. Yeah. Here's the thing though,

371
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: because Houston, I'll move down eight spots to do that

372
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: right now to Houston want to flip flop with Chicago.

373
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's possible because Houston's the number two pick

374
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. For a radio listeners, Houston's the number

375
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: two pick in the draft, Chicago's number one, and Carolina

376
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: could jump up and get the number two pick, you know,

377
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: arizonas well. Yeah, but Houston at two. People, Yeah, people

378
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: with Houston a too, they're like, why would you want

379
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: to move up? And it's like, well, you gotta worry

380
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: about somebody leapfrocking you getting your guy. That's right. So

381
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: that's the incentive for them to try to go up

382
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: to the top. If you want the guy you want,

383
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: there's only one place to go, and that's the first pick.

384
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: That's the first pick of the draft. Because even if

385
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: even if the Bears are saying we're gonna trade out

386
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: of it, we're you know, we like our guy now

387
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: and Draft Day comes and nobody trades for it. They'll

388
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: take you know, boom, they take c. J. Stroud. Yeah

389
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: they don't, you know, yeah, they lied, Oh my gosh

390
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: in a competitive right that you know. So remember the

391
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: Remember the Browns in the eighteen draft. Everybody thought they

392
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: were taking anybody but Baker Mayfield, and then all of

393
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, in the eleventh hour, we're hearing, oh my god,

394
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: the first pick is gonna be Baker Mayfield. Not that

395
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: that worked out for them, but yeah, you know what

396
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And that's the other thing that I'm wondering

397
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: here too, Steve, because that year we saw a lot

398
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: of movement at the top for the quarterbacks. We know

399
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: that the Jets traded up from six to three, the

400
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: Bills on draft Day moved up from twenty two to

401
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: twelve to seven. I wonder how quickly some of these

402
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: quarterback hungry teams pulled the trigger. Do they pull the

403
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: trigger as soon as free agencies over in late March

404
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: mid April, or does it happen just days before the draft,

405
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: like who strikes first? Because you remember the Colts and

406
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: the Jets swung that deal between three and six. It

407
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: was like, I want to say, two three weeks before

408
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: the draft even happened right back in eighteen to get

409
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Darnald right, it was draft and you know I can't.

410
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: But we've got all the teams that are in the market,

411
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: the guys we've been talking about, the Houstons, Carolina and Indianapolis,

412
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, to name just three. Don't forget Las Vegas

413
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: is in the market as well, so is probably who

414
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: you think San Francisco's in the market. You think the

415
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: Jets are in the market. All of these teams are

416
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: out there looking for somebody. Houston, there's still Derek Carr,

417
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Garoppolo. Go down the list of guys

418
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: that are going to be available, and some of them

419
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: are you know, you know, I'm in the Baker Mayfields

420
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: and the sam Donolds of the world that maybe even

421
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: under contract and maybe not by a draft time. All

422
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: these stuff could change by draft time. It might be interesting,

423
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: It might be a better study, Brownie, to find out

424
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: which teams we think have got their guide but are

425
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: still doing the work on these quarterbacks. Yeah, I mean,

426
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: everybody does their due diligence regardless for you know, obvious reasons.

427
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: But really, free agency is going to be the free

428
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: agency and trades is going to be the first game

429
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: of musical chairs with the quarterbacks this offseason. And then

430
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: once the music stops there, they wait till the music

431
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: starts going into the draft, and that's the second game

432
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: of musical chairs with the quarterbacks and jockey and for

433
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: position in the draft order. So now we know why

434
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are always front and center this time of year,

435
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: because they draw eyeballs and they make headlines, and they're

436
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: going to do it again this spring, right. I mean,

437
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: there's still a chance that although I albeit I think

438
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: it's a minuscule chance that Aaron Rodgers gets traded from

439
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: the Packers, that would throw a wrench into everything. As well.

440
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: Derek Carr's out there, the Raiders need a quarterback. Garoppolo

441
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: is going to be out there, Um, Caroline has got

442
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: a couple of guys or had a couple of guys

443
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: on their roster, and Mayfield and Darnold, and they don't

444
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: want either one of those guys. Uh, who else is out?

445
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a ton of guys. So that's got

446
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: to settle down before we got to get an idea,

447
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: because let's face it, if say, if Indianapolis signs Jimmy Garoppolo,

448
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to draft a guy, right if Derek

449
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: Carr goes with the Jets. Yeah, we already we already

450
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: heard Jim Ursey say brace Shellen looks pretty good. Meanwhile

451
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: he is scouting department and gim Chris ballad or like

452
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: he did he just say that out loud in public. Yeah,

453
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: let's let's let's put that on a long list of

454
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: things that Jim urse has said. So yeah, all right,

455
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, but Houston is definitely in the market for

456
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys. And if you know, if, for instance,

457
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: if you're the if you're the if you're the Green

458
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, and you can make a trade with the

459
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: Houston Texans Aaron Rodgers for the number two pick plus

460
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: whatever package they put together, whatever it is that changes

461
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the entire complexion of this draft, right, Yeah, you can't.

462
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: You can't forget Seattle too, because Smith's a free agent.

463
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: I think they're going to resign him. But even if

464
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: you do, is he your long term answer? Even if

465
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: they together a nice season? But they could always just

466
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: franchise him, just like the Baltimore Ravens are going to

467
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: do with Lamar. There's franchising and go with that. Um

468
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: So Gino doesn't necessarily hit the market, and I you know,

469
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: I don't know how many teams would be standing in

470
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: line for him even after the great year he had

471
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: m But this is a it's a really interesting situation

472
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: in the league, around the league with where these guys

473
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: are gonna land and how it affects this draft order,

474
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: particularly at the top. Yeah, Levis is gonna go FO

475
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: week long way before his draft status of what is

476
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: it like a Day two pick? No? No, I think

477
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: they've just got him lower in the first round. I think, well, okay,

478
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: so he'll go a bit lower than those top two guys.

479
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: He'll go on the top half. You know he will? Yeah, yeah,

480
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: probably probably will before we get in today's top of

481
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: a discussion Steve concerning the Bills NFL Competition Committee got

482
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: started over the weekend. They're wrapping up today. I think

483
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: today's their last day of meetings, and our friend of

484
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: the show NFL Networks, Judi Batista, was all over it

485
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: over the weekend. So their meeting again today. Health and

486
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: safety briefing is the focus, along with issues like field surfaces, concussions,

487
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: injury rate on special teams, and the hip drop tackle,

488
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: which has become the in vogue tackle technique that might

489
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: be ruled illegal because of the potential for injury. We

490
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: saw the tackle made by arden Key in the playoffs

491
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: that injured Patrick Mahomes. Well, I guess anytime the face

492
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: of a franchise suffers a major injury in a playoff game,

493
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna draw attention. Well, what it is is the

494
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: hip drop tackle. If nobody knows what they're talking about.

495
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: They used to use the horse collar tackle, where a

496
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: guy would reach in and grab inside, grab a real

497
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: good handle on the guy's neck collar, which is a

498
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: really nice place to grab and hold on and then

499
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: lift your legs and swing your body underneath the guy

500
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: into the back of his legs, and it was a

501
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's a good way to hurt guys. It's

502
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: a great way to tackle, and guys, you know, we're

503
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: getting hurt because of it. The hip drop tackle is

504
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: the exact same thing, except that what it is they're

505
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: telling you is you can't grab the guy like around

506
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: the waist and then drop your hips across the back

507
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: of his legs to get him down. It's just one

508
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: more way that it's going to allow running backs, wide

509
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: receivers and quarterbacks to break tackles. Um, it's you know,

510
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna be able to, you know, be

511
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: able to. There's just so many ways you're not allowed

512
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: to tackle anymore. That's why, you know, we every year

513
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: we have a couple of weeks during the season where

514
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: we get a bunch of callers and old guys like

515
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: me call in and go they're not tackling. Well, they stink,

516
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: the game's not fit. You know, they're they just don't

517
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They don't teach you that they're

518
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: they're they're soft, whatever they but the simple fact of

519
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: the matter is they're not allowed to do it anymore.

520
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: So you know these guys are you know, that's why

521
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: you see guys tackling the ball instead of the man

522
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, they reach in and try and wrench the

523
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: ball out instead of tackling the guy's legs or whatever,

524
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: and they give up an extra seven yards on a

525
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: two yard run because they aren't allowed to tackle like

526
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: this should they can't knock the guy off his balance

527
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: because they can't lead with their head or their shoulders.

528
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: So this is just one more rule that that that

529
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: that's going to happen, and I imagine, imagine it'll pass,

530
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: because if they don't pass a player's safety rule and

531
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: some guy goes and gets a hip drop tackle and

532
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: snaps his femur, he's gonna retire and live on the

533
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: NFL's money for the rest of his life, you know,

534
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: because they didn't take care of him just the way

535
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, I hear you. We'll get into some

536
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: of the other things that the Competition Committee is mulling

537
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: over here in their meetings a little bit later on

538
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: the show. We do want to pass along to you

539
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: our topic of discussions today. What are you hoping to

540
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: hear from Bill's GM Brandon Bean at the NFL combine

541
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: this week. We'll have him on our show this week

542
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: as well, coming up once we get out to Indy.

543
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: What are you hoping to hear from him. A lot

544
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: of decisions need to be made with respect to their

545
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: own free agents. Decisions need to be made about pick

546
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven and the ones that come thereafter, and filling

547
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: some holes on this roster. We've heard from fans the

548
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, Steve offensive line wide receive. The

549
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: safety position is suddenly a position that has Micah Hide

550
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: and nobody else under contract that we definitively know is

551
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: playing next year tomorrow. Hamlin's under contract, but we don't

552
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: know what his future status is, so it's Micah Hide

553
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: and fill in the blank. So what do you need

554
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: to hear from the GM of the Bills this week

555
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440

565
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: As we are asking you, what do you need to

566
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: hear from Bill's GM Brandon being at the Combine this week,

567
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: we'll have him on the show this week out in

568
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: India as Steve and I are headed out there for

569
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: the show tomorrow through Friday one to three o'clock all

570
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: week long, so be sure to tune in to get

571
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: the latest goings on in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine

572
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: with us. I don't know if I have anything as

573
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: a top thing on my list that I'd like to

574
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: hear from Brandon Steve. I guess we all assume that

575
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: a plan will be in place with obvious contingencies, because

576
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: you always need contingencies. Heck, look what happened last year.

577
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, suddenly Von Miller's available and interested in playing

578
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: for the Bills, and that turned the whole offseason plan

579
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: on its ears. So they'll have a plan going in

580
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: and then they'll just have to pivot based on how

581
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: things shake out with regard to that plan. That's right,

582
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: and I think I think mostly what I want to

583
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: hear from him is stuff we don't know and would

584
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: love to find out, like, what's their you know, what

585
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: are their priorities? And when we talked about old line,

586
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: we've talked about safety, we've talked about some extra weapons

587
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: for Josh, the whole nine yards. I want to know

588
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: what he's thinking, what's on his plate this week, Who's

589
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: he going to talk to. I don't know if we'll

590
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: ever get a definitive answer, because they'll probably talk to

591
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: so many guys we don't have room to write them down.

592
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: But I really want to know where they're at in

593
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: free agency. I want to know how they're getting lined

594
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: up for this draft. Certainly, the overall philosophy probably has

595
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: not changed because it's been so successful for him. They

596
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: want to fill up their entire roster with as good

597
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: of veterans as they can find, quality guys with either

598
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: older guys on short deals that are highly motivated, maybe

599
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: have some gas in the tank, or young guys that

600
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: have an upside that they can develop into maybe a

601
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: real starter and give them a longer term deal. But

602
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: that they're gonna fill up the roster all the offensive linemen.

603
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna fill up the defensive line, They're gonna fill

604
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: up the wide receiver room. They're gonna get a bunch

605
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: of safeties under contract and all that stuff in the

606
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. Well in March, what seventeenth, fifteenth

607
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: when it starts free agency. Yeah, when the fifth is

608
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: coming up fast, right, it's like in two and a

609
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: half weeks. So if I want to know those guys,

610
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: He's not gonna tell us who they are, but I

611
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: want to. That's the philosophy, that's what's gotten them to

612
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: this point where they're a perennial favorite to go the distance.

613
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Who fits into that this year because it's there's gonna

614
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: be a ton of names that we don't know yet, right,

615
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: because nowadays, now that they've pushed the combine into the

616
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: first week in March, these clubs come back from the combine,

617
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, they get back to their facilities. Free agency

618
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: starts in a week. Yeah, it's almost like you got

619
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: to have that plan in place before you even go

620
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: to the combine. Now, granted, they're gonna meet with some

621
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: player agents for some of their perspective free agents to

622
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: kind of kick the tires on. Hey, this is our

623
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: value for your guy. What do you think do you

624
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: think we might be able to get find some middle

625
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: ground here? And get something done, or if they're way off,

626
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, well cross that off the list.

627
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to go to Plan B on that

628
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: position group. You know. Those kinds of things kind of

629
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: get ironed out at the Combine, even though the college

630
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: prospects are kind of front and center for what everybody

631
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: sees on NFL Network through the course of the week.

632
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: But that's why we're asking you what you need to

633
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: hear from Bill's GM Brandon Bean at the Combine this

634
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: week eight oh three five fifty one, eight eight five

635
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty. The number to get on board

636
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: leading us off today is Dave in Amherst, what you

637
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: got for a day? Or I want Deal's life? Hey,

638
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: guys who love the show, If you don't mind, I'd

639
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: like to back up just a day or so. I'm

640
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: a little behind her. I wanted to say this for

641
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: a while now, and I'm sure you're better before I

642
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: have yet not to hear. You've got your sports comment.

643
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: There's all across the board. I don't care what station is.

644
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: You've all said and agreed that the game is won

645
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: and lost in the trenches. And yeah, I know you've

646
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: heard it before. But here's my opinion, and I'm hearing impaired,

647
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: so you can come after me if you want when

648
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: I hang up. Obviously, if you have a front four

649
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: on the offense who can elite players, who can protect

650
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback and open holes, you've got an offense and

651
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: commensally on the other side of the line, if you

652
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: can stop the run. Obviously, front four both sides of

653
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: the ball. And here's my take. I don't care who

654
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: we have to or what we have to do other

655
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: than to protect Josh. He stays, we need to get

656
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: that front four end both sides of the ball. First,

657
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: you build a foundation and then you build a house. Okay,

658
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to hang up now, and you guys can

659
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: I would love to hear your response. And that's number one.

660
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: To hell with the running back and get the line first.

661
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: Thank you all right, Dave, thanks for the calling. Well, Dave,

662
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean we I don't know how

663
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: many ways we can slice. I thought we were in

664
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: total agreement before you called. I don't know if Brownie

665
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: feels the same way. We've been talking about it for

666
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: a long time. Now, here's one reason why we don't

667
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: put maybe as much emphasis on it as you have

668
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: is because we feel like at least on the offensive

669
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: side of the ball, there's the cupboard is not completely

670
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: bar Dion Dawkins a very good left tackle, Mitch Moore

671
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: spin is consistent and a trustworthy and quality and as

672
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: athletic as any center in the league. Certainly, there's there's

673
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: some holes there on both guards sides of the center

674
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: right now. And and Spencer Brown had an inconsistent year

675
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: and people were kind of looking at him sideways thinking

676
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: as his third year going to be one where he

677
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: takes off. So that's one reason we're not saying draft

678
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: seven offensive linemen in this draft. The defensive line same

679
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: thing they have had. I think they had a top

680
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: quality defensive line this last year when they were healthy,

681
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: but it was a group and a year when the

682
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: entire roster was riddled with injuries like they hadn't hadn't

683
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: been in three or four years, So that was a difference.

684
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: Now when they were healthy, the Bills were right there

685
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: this last year, and their record proved it and their

686
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: play on the field proved it. I would be shocked

687
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: if Brandon Bean didn't see things the same way all

688
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: of us do. So I don't know. Yes, you're Dave,

689
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: you're right, and you say you love the show, but

690
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: if you had to say that to us, I don't

691
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: know how much you've been listening. I gotta be honest,

692
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: because we've been talking about it. Well, yeah, we've been

693
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: banging the drum for offensive line help, and a lot

694
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: of the callers that have called the show kind of

695
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: reacted similarly. Yeah, and I think here's the good news. Okay,

696
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: And granted you can take this with a grain of salt,

697
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: but Daniel Jeremiah, who were going to have on the

698
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: show this week as well, just released his Top fifty Prospects.

699
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: His latest edition of his Top fifty prospects, he had

700
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: about five or six new players added, which obviously means

701
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: five or six dropped out, and he rearranged the order

702
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think the good news is this

703
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Steve Prospect number twenty three, Tennessee right tackle Darnell Wright,

704
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: prospect number twenty four, Georgia tight end Darnell Washington, the

705
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: Huge Kid prospect twenty five, Jackson Smith, and Jig but

706
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: The Ohio statewide receiver prospect twenty six Jalen Hyatt, Tennessee

707
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver Quentin Johnston TCU wide receiver number twenty seven.

708
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: And then he's got Zay Flowers in there, the receiver

709
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: from Boston College. He's got the best center in the

710
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: draft at thirty one, John Michael schmidtz. He's got one

711
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: of the best guards in the draft, o Cyrus Torrance

712
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: from Florida. And then he's got your guy who's an

713
00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: interior lineman from Wisconsin, Joe Tipman at thirty three. Bottom

714
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: line here, eas even got the TCU guard Steve of

715
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: Ville at thirty five. Right, there are going to be

716
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: very good offensive line options down around where the Bills

717
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: pick at twenty seven. So it's good that there are

718
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: some top flight quarterbacks in this draft class. And it's

719
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: good that there are some top flight pass rushers in

720
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: this draft class because those guys will push players like

721
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: we're discussing here down to where the Bills can take

722
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: one of those guys off the board and improve their

723
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: offensive line conceive a player. There's also I mean, I've

724
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: got a cursory list here of you know, there's center guards.

725
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: It was like Edgeleton Jenkins from Green Bay, Ben Powers

726
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: from Baltimore. We've spoken about Isaac Isaac Seumalo from Philly,

727
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: Dalton Risner from Denver, Evan Brown from Detroit, and then

728
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: tackles free agent tackles. You got Mike McGlinchey, Orlando Brown,

729
00:40:53,239 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin, Caleb McGarry, McGarry from Atlanta, Juwan Taylor from Jacksonville.

730
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some guys in the NFL. And these

731
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: guys all have some chops. I mean, they're not guys

732
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: who were these These are not guys who were on

733
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: the practice squad of you know, of Houston. These are

734
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: guys that are that are playing significant snaps for their clubs.

735
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: And those are right guys are gonna be available in

736
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: free agency, plus guys that we don't know about that

737
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: who may be playing behind these guys that for these

738
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: for these other teams. You know. So, uh, there's gonna

739
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: be a ton of guys out there who can really play.

740
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of centers out there as well. If

741
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: if you're not a fan of Mitch Morris, Ethan Pochick,

742
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern, Garrett, Bradberry, Bradley, uh Bozeman, Austin blythe all

743
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: these guys are centers who could come in probably play

744
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: center or guard, so um, all these names plus the

745
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: draft that you're talking about, there's gonna be some guys

746
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: out there. The question is can you can you get

747
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: them to sign here? Can you get them in for

748
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: the price that you can fit under the cap as

749
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: a top fifty three player, fifty one player and make

750
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: it work? Certainly? Yeah, the where the Bills are right

751
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: now with Josh, Steph Diggs, Sean McDermott, Brandon Bean, all

752
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: of these guys that we've talked about, this is a

753
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: destination that guys want to play for and they want

754
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: to come in and win. Some of these guys are

755
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: from teams that didn't make the playoffs and haven't made

756
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs a lot in their careers and they want

757
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: a shot at that. That's an issue too. That's just

758
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: like Vaughan von Miller wanted to come in him and

759
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: have a chance to go for it. So that those names,

760
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: all these names, and all these prospects we're talking about

761
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: are on the table for the Bills. The only question

762
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: is finances. Can they fit them in in the cap

763
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: and they will? They sign here? Right And that's why

764
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: I would be inclined to think as far as free

765
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: agency goes, they would probably go the guard route because

766
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: guard doesn't cost as much as tackle, and we in

767
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: free agency you typically overpay, and their cap situation I

768
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: don't think affords them to overpay at the tackle position.

769
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: So I'd be inclined to think they sign a guard

770
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: in free agency, and then heck, they might draft a

771
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: tackle slash guard in the draft early. Um yeah, or

772
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: a guard center, you know, someone with some kind of

773
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: position flexibility, like that's the InVogue thing now, position flex

774
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: like that kid Tipman from Wisconsin, and you know that's

775
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: that's my man crush for the minute, that's your guy. Yeah,

776
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: he's a he's played I think center or guard for Wiscon.

777
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: He played center for Wisconsin. The guys six six and

778
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: weighs three bills plus um, so he could play tackle.

779
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: He's long enough and sturdy enough if he could play

780
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 1: tackle frame wise. And I don't know if his feet

781
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: will allow him to play tackle or if his length

782
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 1: in an arm reach will allow him play be effective

783
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: at tackle, but certainly he's got the height for it.

784
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: And guys like that coming in you don't know what

785
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: their upside is really until you see him at this combined,

786
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: get a look in their eye talk to them and

787
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: find out if they're yeah, you can put me anywhere

788
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: you want, Coach, let's go. Those kind of guys give

789
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: you some confidence that they're going to give it their

790
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: best shot. All right, we gotta take a break here,

791
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: but when we come back, more of your phone calls

792
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: and thoughts on the tweet sheet on what you need

793
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: to hear from Bill's GM Brandon being at the NFL

794
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: Combine this week. We will be there Tuesday through Friday

795
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: all week long giving many of the ins and outs

796
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: on what's going on in Indie, including comments from Brandon

797
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: being himself. What do you want to hear from you?

798
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: Let us know we'll take your phone calls. Next here

799
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live presented Body Collid to Health, It's

800
00:44:45,239 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Come back to One Bill's Live Chris

801
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: Brown Steve to ask her with you taking your phone

802
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: calls at ATO three five fifty one eight eight five

803
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty as we are asking you what

804
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: you need to hear from Bill's GM Brandon Bean at

805
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: the NFL Combine this week. There's obviously a lot on

806
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: his to do list. You want him to come out

807
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: and say what I don't know, maybe it makes you

808
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: breathe a little bit easier about what the roster is

809
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: going to look like next fall. Maybe it's something else

810
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: entirely you let us know. Open line for you at

811
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: eight three five fifty Steve. There were a couple of

812
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: other tidbits from the Competition committee meetings that I wanted

813
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: to run pass you because I was curious for your

814
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on these data points from the twenty twenty two season.

815
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: Fewer deep passes are being thrown second fewest i nts

816
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: per game in league history. Those two are probably tied together,

817
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: and more balls being thrown away. Also, more conservative play

818
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: in the first and third quarters in terms of rushing

819
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: more and fewer downfield shots. The Bill's style of play

820
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of flew in the face of something that I think,

821
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: based on what we saw this year. What do you

822
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: make of those I don't think we're surprised at all

823
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: after seeing what Burrowin Mahomes did in the passing game

824
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: this past year. No, I mean, I think it's it's

825
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: exactly the same thing that we see in defensive run

826
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: stop and there it's about the ball. For defenses, they

827
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: do everything they can to force turnovers, They tackle the ball.

828
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: They grab the ball and try and wrench it out

829
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: of the guy's hand and they lose balance, they go down.

830
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: That's how you make a tackle these days. Same thing

831
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks. Throw it away, live to fight another down.

832
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: Punting is not the worst thing in the world. Throwing

833
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: a pick is running backs getting benched if they fumble

834
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: the football. I mean, that's that's almost commonplace now. You

835
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: coaches will not put up with it. You got to

836
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: protect the football at all times. The league has forever

837
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: fought against cheap fumbles in the pocket. Now they're kind

838
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: of into it. They hope the defensive linemen can swad

839
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: if the balls loose in their handy, Even if the

840
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: ball goes forward, if they don't have a good grip

841
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: on it, it's a fumble. So they're doing that. It's

842
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,479
Speaker 1: all about possession of the football and when it comes

843
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: down to the most risky thing you can do offensively,

844
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: and that's throw it. They're coaching these guys to be

845
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: as safe as smart as they can. Take the easy completion,

846
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: throw it away, make them cover the whole field without

847
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: threatening you know, without threatening the whole field. You know,

848
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: we have no intention of throwing it deep but get

849
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: those guys out of they're cleared out so we can

850
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: hit it underneath. I mean, it all works into making

851
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: sure that you can play as highly efficient as you can.

852
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: And it looks that way. And that's why the Bills,

853
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: I think, stand out and why some of the Bills fan,

854
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: even us, you and me Brownie, were like, man, we

855
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: we throw it deep too much, right, we go through

856
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: the stretching as the next guy, But can we dial

857
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 1: it back a little, right, We like, dude, just hit

858
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: hit motor on the on the checkdown. You know. We

859
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: were talking like that through the entire season, and the

860
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: Bills were still winning games there. They were doing it,

861
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, different, But all these other teams you can't

862
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: get him off the field unless somebody drops a pass,

863
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: you know. So I think it. I think those numbers

864
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: are borne out and what you see with your with

865
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: just the regular casual fan can see, man, they just

866
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: don't put the ball at risk offensively, right. And the

867
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: Eagles did it in a much different way. They used

868
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: a running game and a strong offensive line and a

869
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: good defense to kind of stake themselves to leads, which

870
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: then negated the need to have Jalen Hurts throw it

871
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: all over the field in the second half. You had

872
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: that stat that you ran out on us right around

873
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week that Jalen Hurts had twenty two pass

874
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: attempts in the second half all season. That is, that's

875
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: when he didn't have the lead, a shockingly anemic number.

876
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: He had twenty two pass attempts in games for the

877
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: entire regular sea going into the playffs. For the entire

878
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: regular season, he had twenty two pass attempts for the

879
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: whole year in the second half of games where they

880
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: did not have the lead. He only threw it twenty

881
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: two times times in the second half of a game

882
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: when he didn't have the lead. That wasn't You and

883
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: I were throwing darts at the difficulty of their season,

884
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: from the getting not a lot of adversity. They played

885
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: a flower bed of a schedule. I mean, it couldn't

886
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: have been better for them from the from the quality

887
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: of their division to the quarterback play that they faced.

888
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: Ten of their seventeen quarterbacks they faced were journeyman at best,

889
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: if not last resort, bottom bottom half of the league,

890
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: if not last resorts. For every team they played, they

891
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: were these guys they were playing were the last resort.

892
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: They were the guy they were like then the last

893
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: guy we got and they had to play again last

894
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: quarterback they played in the regular season. As now the

895
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach for the Denver Procoss Davis. We think about it,

896
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: that says it all. So you and I were poking

897
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: holes in that. But that's the way, that's the way

898
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: they did, and that's what it took to win games.

899
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: And you know, bless their heart, they did exactly what

900
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: it took to get them there. And they had the

901
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs leaning on the ropes in the fifteenth round swinging

902
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: at them, you know. But you know, that's what happens

903
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: when you find a quarterback, when you finally see a

904
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: quarterback that can, you know, pull a rabbit out of

905
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: a hat when ever he wants to. Yeah, all right,

906
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break here, but our number two

907
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: we are wide open for your phone call. So Dave

908
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: and Florida, Mark and West Seneca stay right where you are.

909
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to you when we return and begin our

910
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: number two here on a Monday NFL Combine week, what

911
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: do you need to hear from Brandon Bean? You let

912
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: us know you're on one Pills Live presented by collid

913
00:50:44,000 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Pills Radio one, Bill's Live presented

914
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: by Camel to Health. All right, here we go our

915
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: number two on a Monday of NFL Combine Week. Chris Brown,

916
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and we're gonna go to the

917
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: phones here in just a second. As we've been asking

918
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: you today, what do you need to hear from Bill's

919
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: GM Brandon Bean at the combine this week? Certainly he's

920
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: got a very long to do list, a cap situation

921
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: that has to be brought into compliance before the start

922
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: of the league year. What moves need to be made

923
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: to do that? Perspective free agents, who has a chance

924
00:51:55,280 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: of being resigned and coming back, prospects and where the

925
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: holes will be come draft month that will still need

926
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: to be feel filled after a free agency is over

927
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: for the most part. Eight oh three oh five fifty

928
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: the number to get on board one eight fifty two

929
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: five fifty the toll free number if you're outside the

930
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: calling area. We lead off our number two with Dave

931
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: in Florida. What do you got first? Dave? How are

932
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: you doing? Fellows? I have a question? Good? Did the

933
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: NFL have scouting or anything to do with the X

934
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: they do. No reason I asked they do not? No,

935
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,479
Speaker 1: oh oh, because I watched a couple of games during

936
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: the week here. I've seen some pretty big guys on

937
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: these funds defensive lines. So we can't touch them, is

938
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: that it? Yeah, well, we don't stand in the way.

939
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: I don't think they would necessarily stand in the way

940
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: of a player with an opportunity for an NFL contract,

941
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: but I think they do have to finish out the season. Yeah,

942
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: depending on what their contract. I think those guys the

943
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 1: XFL can sign with anybody they want, but they gotta

944
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: They probably have to fulfill their contract with whatever a

945
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: XFL team. There is. The thing you have to remember, too,

946
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: is those guys were all available to the NFL before

947
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: this season was over. So there's no question that the

948
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: NFL teams, the Bills included, have guys not only watching

949
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: those games, what looking at the film, studying the film,

950
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: and before those guys ever became XFL players, they were

951
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: on the radar the NFL because they came out of

952
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: college at some point and were in the market for

953
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: the NFL. So the clubs have a file on all

954
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: of those guys on every roster on every team, at

955
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: every position, So you can bet that if there's somebody

956
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: in there that they're intrigued by, and there certainly probably

957
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: are more than a handful of players, the Bills are

958
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: like going, Man, I wish we'd get this guy, but

959
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they didn't have the rights to him,

960
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: or couldn't get him signed, or were too full at

961
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: the moment in time when they were available. So it's

962
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: it's really that simple. All those guys are in the

963
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: in the pool of signable players for the Bills and

964
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: other NFL clubs. Yeah, and I think that NFL scouting

965
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: departments will keep a very close eye on players in

966
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: that league and who looks better in Week eight than

967
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: they did in Week one, who really came along and

968
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:30,919
Speaker 1: developed and improve their game when they finally did get

969
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: some game reps, which is something that a lot of

970
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: those fringe guys in the NFL never really get the

971
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to put into practice literally in practice or in

972
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: games because they're not active on game dake. So the

973
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: XFL and you know, come April, the USFL are going

974
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: to give guys like that opportunities to improve their game

975
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: by getting real, live game reps. And I think the

976
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: NFL as a whole welcomes it because Steve, I know

977
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: you and I have been around long enough to know

978
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: what a benefit NFL Europe was to groom players and

979
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: develop them into NFL caliber players that eventually came in

980
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: and helped football teams. Fris Jackson being probably the best

981
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: Bill's example. There's not a ton of guys that are

982
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: going to come in and all of a sudden become

983
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: All pros and Pro Bowl players. Although there might be

984
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: a couple of Pro Bowl players. You're not going to

985
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: come in from the XFL usually and all of a

986
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: sudden become an All Pro player. But you can go

987
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: from being a guy who's not good enough to a

988
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: guy who is good enough to play and to have

989
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: a roster spot and to get some reps at a

990
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: team and maybe to continue to get better. The spectrum

991
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: of where guys fall in the talent level and the

992
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: way they can play is as big as you can imagine.

993
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: Some guys, it takes a long time and by the time,

994
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: and for instance Kurt Warner, it took him a long

995
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: time to develop into the quarterback who came in was

996
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: a three time MVP and a two time Super Bowl champion.

997
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: At three time Super Bowl participant with two different clubs

998
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: and was a Hall of Fame player. He was like

999
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight when he made the roster for the Rams.

1000
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: It took forever for him to develop. Their guys like

1001
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 1: that out there at different positions, but for whatever reason,

1002
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: they're like going, man, I'm done with this. You know,

1003
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna you know, I'm never gonna make twenty

1004
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: five million bucks as a quarterback. I'm you know whatever.

1005
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: So they're like, I'm gonna go on with my life.

1006
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,919
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that going on, and then there's

1007
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: some guys who want to stick with it, want to

1008
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: stick with it, and we'll probably get there, and then

1009
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they get an ACL. Now it's over.

1010
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: So the whole menu of possibilities, both guys coming and

1011
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: becoming good enough to get in the NFL and who

1012
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: will never make it or just kind of hanging on

1013
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: on the XFL, it's all there, and it's up to

1014
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: the pro personnel departments of the NFL to sift through

1015
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 1: all of that and find the ones that can help them.

1016
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: It's that simple. Well, it's that complex. It's a it's

1017
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: a it's a long process for it to happen, and

1018
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of commitment by a player who

1019
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: may or may not see light at the end of

1020
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: the tunnel. Yeah, let's go back to the phones at

1021
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: eight o three five fifty one, eight fifty two, five

1022
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: fifty Mark in West Seneca is next. What do you

1023
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: got for us? Mark? Hey Chris, say Steve, how are

1024
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: you doing? Good? Good? Before we get gone? Hey Steve?

1025
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: How how much fun was yesterday? How ghost sabers? Oh, yeah,

1026
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: it's great. I didn't get it. I didn't go to

1027
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: the game, but my my son took my grandson there

1028
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: and they they ran down to the glass and my

1029
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: grandson threw his hat over the glass. When Dylan Cousins

1030
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: did the hat trick, they both threw their hearts. Yeah,

1031
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: so something. My grandson is never gonna forget it because

1032
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: he and his dad threw their hats onto the ice

1033
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: for Dylan Cousins hat tricks. So pretty cool. Couple of

1034
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: fights they all and the other goalie busted his stick

1035
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: over the nad. Might you know, we had a lot

1036
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: of explaining to do to my you know, four year

1037
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: old grandson and I why that's happening and who won

1038
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: the fight? Kind of thing. But yes, that was a

1039
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: great day. It's a great day. I was actually there

1040
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: my son too. And it's funny you should say about

1041
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: the hats because my son's twenty three and we're standing

1042
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: there and cousin scores and my son looks at me

1043
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: and he goes, I'm throwing his hat. I says, I

1044
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: don't ever do that. He says, I'm throwing it and

1045
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: he throws it out there and he looks at me.

1046
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: He says, I forgot I paid thirty eight dollars for

1047
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: that hat. Wilson, I'm the kind with you, Mark, I'm

1048
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: not throwing it. I'm sorry. I wear a hat to

1049
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: every Sabers game and I would throw it. But here's

1050
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: but I go through hats a lot because if I'm

1051
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: wearing a hat, like, I need a new hat because

1052
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: I've worn the same hat last couple of times and

1053
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: they got their heads caved in both times. They were

1054
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: horrible games that I went to see the last couple

1055
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: of times, so I was looking for a reason to

1056
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: throw that hat. I didn't get a chance to. So

1057
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a new hat anyway. But I wear

1058
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: a hat because I'm bald. I have you so yeah.

1059
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, what I called about real quick because I'm

1060
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: taking up all your time here. Um, a couple of observations.

1061
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: You guys mentioned a competition committee, and these are a

1062
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,919
Speaker 1: couple of things that don't want to ask you guys

1063
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: to get your opinion for a while. First of all, replay.

1064
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: It drives me crazy. Every year it gets more convoluted.

1065
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: And they told us they were putting this in in

1066
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,479
Speaker 1: order to get the plays right. But yet they allow

1067
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: teams to rush to the line scrimmage and quickly snap

1068
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: the ball, so a replay can't be done. And why

1069
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: can't they institute a rule that at the whistle to

1070
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: end to play, they get a certain amount of time

1071
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five seconds either team to throw a challenge flag,

1072
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: just so you can eliminate that that enticement to basically cheat.

1073
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: Because enticement. We'll tell you why, Mark, Because the enticement

1074
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: goes both ways. If it's if it's offense, they got

1075
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: to take a chance that they're gonna throw the flag,

1076
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: and it's just as much of an enticement if you

1077
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: get up and you I saw this happen. If the

1078
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: offense goes up there and hurries it's just as much

1079
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,919
Speaker 1: of an enticement and indictment on them that they got

1080
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 1: a receiver over there giving him a hand signal says hey, listen,

1081
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I didn't catch that. You better snap it fast. That

1082
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: would be an automatic flag toss for some teams. They're

1083
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna throw it anyway because the guy doesn't think he

1084
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: caught it himself. And then all you're looking for is

1085
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: the right camera angle to confirm it. It's and plus

1086
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: it's a risk too. If they rush up and run

1087
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: a play, it's not going to be the perfect play.

1088
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: It's going to be the play they have at the

1089
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: top of their list. They're just gonna run a play,

1090
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: and it's an easier defensive play for the defense on

1091
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: a play that may or may not be overturned. So

1092
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: it's a double edged sword. If a team wants to

1093
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: hurry up and snap the ball, it's just as much

1094
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: a risk for them as it is for the defense

1095
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: of them giving a play away that may have been overturned,

1096
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: as is for the offense taking a play that's not

1097
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: going to be their best play on first down to

1098
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: the next series. So and plus it never happens on

1099
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: a scoring play. They always have plenty of time on

1100
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: a scoring play to refute it or to they all

1101
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: get over overturned, are reviewed, and they also have a

1102
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: sky judge that if it's clear and obvious, is going

1103
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: to overturn it anyway. So there's That's what I was

1104
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: going to say, Steve. That's the practice that they added

1105
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: to the equation to try to get a quicker adjudication

1106
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: as to just what happened by going to a guy

1107
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: upstairs that's watching everything on twelve cameras and as a

1108
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: much better advantage point than the guy's on the field,

1109
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: so he tries to make a quick decision and say oh,

1110
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: and he'll buzz down and say, let's don't run that

1111
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: next play yet, we gotta take a look at this,

1112
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: and the offense gives something up on their next first

1113
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: down when they hurry. They can't change personnel because if

1114
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: they change personnel and you won't look at it, you

1115
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: can just relax. Tell your replacement got your because you

1116
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: can match personnel with him. If they run a guy

1117
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: on and run a guy off, you get a chance

1118
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: to match that substitution. So if you want to take

1119
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: your time and have your extra linebacker stumble and fall

1120
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: on his way out or just kind of healed the

1121
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: toe or just kind of scuffle his way out there

1122
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: and take an extra fifteen seconds to go out there

1123
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: and take his place. That the officials are going to

1124
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 1: hold the game up. So there's plenty. It's on both

1125
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: sides of that mark. I get what you're saying, but

1126
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: there's enough. I think there is enough I don't know,

1127
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: cushion or margin of error on both sides for them

1128
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: to keep it the way it is, particularly with the

1129
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: sky judge looking at everything, and and the beauty of

1130
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: the sky judge is he's always looking at every play

1131
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: all the time, and he's all talking to the official

1132
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: and the officials don't announce it. He says, how we

1133
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: looked at it and we got the spot wrong by

1134
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: two yards. We're gonna move it back to yards. They

1135
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: don't even talk to you about it. They just do

1136
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: it and the sky judge gets it right. There's a

1137
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: lot of that going on as well, and that's been

1138
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: a huge boost to the game. And I know we're

1139
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: going to talk about in a minute, but they also

1140
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: wanted to It was proposed by a team this year

1141
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: to make roughing the passer reviewable. YEP, nobody's got the

1142
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: stomach for it. They're gonna it's gonna fall by the wayside.

1143
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do it for whatever. I don't know

1144
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: why that is, but nobody wants to do it, So

1145
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. Well, yeah, it's just another layer

1146
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: that you got to deal with, and then you have

1147
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: to think about the unintended consequences and all the stuff

1148
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: that you got to run through to make sure if

1149
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: it's worth it or not. Because they're saying the committee

1150
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: right now doesn't support making Roughing the pass or reviewable.

1151
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: It could still go before the full ownership though, at

1152
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: the March meetings for a vote, unless it's withdrawn now.

1153
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Competition Committee just says, oh, that's a nice proposal,

1154
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: but we're gonna withdraw it. We're not putting that before ownership.

1155
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: They also taught this. This was the one I found

1156
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: most interesting though, Steve. The committee discussed sideline hits when

1157
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: is a runner considered completely out of bounds because we

1158
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: saw some plays involving the bills themselves where things were

1159
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: pretty close as to whether Josh got hit illegally out

1160
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: of bounds. We saw the play in the AFC Title

1161
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: game at the end with Joseph Osai hitting Mahomes out

1162
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: of bounds, that was kind of a clear one. But

1163
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: when is he considered out? So still in the field

1164
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: of play. They were talking about if a runner has

1165
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: two feet in the white, that is out. Anything else,

1166
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: including one foot in bounds and the other one in

1167
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 1: the air, is still alive. Run. But if two feet

1168
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: are in the white, he's out. Anything short of that,

1169
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: he's still in. What if it's one foot on the white,

1170
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: one foot inbounds, you know, what if it's only one

1171
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: foot out of bounds and the other one Yeah, they

1172
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: didn't include that. Let me see her runner has two

1173
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: feet in the white, that is out. Of course, anything

1174
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: else including one foot in bounds, one foot in bounds,

1175
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: he's still in. Still alive. Run the Yeah, okay, one

1176
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: foot on the white because one foot in the end,

1177
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: got one? Um, see what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, it's

1178
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: not completely clear here now. Granted I pulled that from

1179
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: a tweet. So yeah, Judy Batista only had two hundred

1180
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: and forty characters to make it make sense. Judy's killing us.

1181
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Maybe the full write up, we'll have to We'll have

1182
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: to look at the full rite up to see exactly

1183
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: what we're going to Well, here's the thing, So not

1184
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: only are we not going to know what a catch

1185
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: is in this league, we're also not going to know

1186
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: who his inbounds or out of bounds anymore. Let me

1187
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: just say this, I will go on right, I'll say this.

1188
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: When Dean Blandino was the head of officiating the NFL,

1189
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: we all knew what a catch was. It was only

1190
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: when some other guy was doing it that that got

1191
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: all murky because he just I actually watched him in action,

1192
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: because the XFL is showing that he's there uses and

1193
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: they actually mike it all up so you can hear

1194
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: his communication to the official down on the field, and

1195
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: it's very straightforward, very black and white, and off they go,

1196
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: and it was very refreshing to see that. I was

1197
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: actually encouraged to see that kind of efficiency and can

1198
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: only hope that the NFL can do the same or

1199
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: does the same on a weekly basis. Incidentally, they did

1200
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: say that the committee did meet, and what they did

1201
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: was spent ninety minutes discussing officiating. The biggest question was

1202
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: how to get more consistency across all crews in the

1203
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: league because as we know, some are invariably better than others.

1204
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: But Troy Vincent did say the committee was pleased with

1205
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: the level of training for officials. So better or not,

1206
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: you just want to You got some officiating crews that

1207
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: are calling twenty penalties a game and others that are

1208
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: calling six or eight penalties a game. Yeah, for the

1209
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: same teams, you know what I mean. So that's the thing.

1210
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying you have a quote of penalties

1211
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: you got to call. I'm just saying, call the same

1212
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: thing the same way, the same game, and in the

1213
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: other game too, and week to week. That's why the

1214
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: NFL is as good as it is. We expect that,

1215
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: and that's the standard. Is. As much as I love

1216
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: the Sabers, this ain't hockey, you know, fourth quarter and

1217
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: overtime or the same as the first quarter of the preseason.

1218
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: You call it, and you and it stands, And that's

1219
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: the way it should be. Don't that the great? You

1220
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: don't want any gray area. You want it all black

1221
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: and white, from the catch to the out of bounds

1222
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: to the tuck rule. It's got to be black and white.

1223
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: And when it's not, that's when you have an issue.

1224
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: That's that's all we want. That's all the players want.

1225
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I've told you that if it doesn't matter, if they

1226
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: made it legal for everybody to carry a baseball bat

1227
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: while they're playing football, because I'll tell you what, there'd

1228
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: be twenty two guys out there carrying Louisville sluggers around

1229
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: on them. You know that they're gonna they're gonna play

1230
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 1: within the rules. And if you say now you have

1231
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: to everybody's play barefoot, guys would be selling their feet

1232
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: as signage, their bare feet. Tattooed my foot with your logo.

1233
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean you know they would they do it. Where

1234
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: are you going here? It doesn't matter what the rules are.

1235
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: Just enforce them the same, no matter what they are,

1236
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: whether it's whatever it is, that's all we want, that's

1237
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: all any of us want. Just call it the same

1238
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 1: this week as you did last week, in this game,

1239
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: as that game over there, and in the first quarter

1240
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: as it is in overtime. Just call it the same

1241
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: all the time. That's all anybody can ask for, and

1242
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: that's what they shoot for. That's all I ask. I

1243
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: get it. Let's go to the tweet sheet. Though we've

1244
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 1: talked enough about officiating. Tweet sheet brought to you by

1245
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1246
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And what are you hoping to hear from

1247
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Bill's GM Brandon being at the combine? Jack says, I

1248
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: know he won't tell us the plan, but I'd like

1249
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to hear hints of a direction for free agency. I

1250
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: would like to hear any insight on how they will

1251
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: adjust contracts for cap relief. Do they have any designs

1252
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,879
Speaker 1: on trying to negotiate with either Poyer or Edmonds? Someone

1253
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: please ask him about wide receiver two? All right, I'm

1254
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: taking notes here, Jack, I hear you. That's right, I'm

1255
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: all that's right there. I agree. Who are they talking to?

1256
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: Tops They got to restructure some guys or cut some guys.

1257
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: And if they cut some guys, are gonna have to

1258
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: cut like twenty of them, right, But if they restructure them,

1259
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: maybe just two or three, right, yeah? I Well, if

1260
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: they restructure the right ones with the with the biggest contracts, yes, well,

1261
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: and they don't have to do twenty guys all the Yeah.

1262
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: But the ones you restructure, the big guys are the

1263
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,560
Speaker 1: ones you don't mind guaranteeing the money too, because you

1264
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: ain't cutting them anyway, right, So Josh Allen von MILLERDS, Yeah,

1265
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: that's about that's Steph, Yes, Steph, you got candidates. Yeah,

1266
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,759
Speaker 1: maybe if you do the big guys, that would probably

1267
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: reduce the to do lists, you know, from eight or

1268
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: nine to maybe four or five. Right, right, So I

1269
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: would I would think that would be the preference. But

1270
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: of course sometimes bigger contracts are more convoluted to you know,

1271
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: but something and there's some I mean, and that's just

1272
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: to get under the cap. Forget about having money to

1273
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: spend on free agents. Yeah, you know, just to camp compliant. Yeah,

1274
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: that's just get compliant. Let's go to a tank on

1275
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet who says, in terms of what he

1276
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: wants to hear from Brandon Bean, that we are going

1277
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: to sign Edmonds to a long term deal. I don't

1278
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: hate that idea, but the cap implications are what make

1279
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,879
Speaker 1: it sticky. Not to mention the fact of what Tremaine

1280
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: Edmonds in his camp believe they can get on the

1281
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: open market. I mean, hypothetically, if the bills say we

1282
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: value you at sixteen and a half a year, and

1283
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: he and his representatives think they can get twenty on

1284
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: the open market, guess what, he's gonna hit the market

1285
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: and see what he can get. Now, maybe he's disappointed

1286
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: and he doesn't see those lofty numbers that he's anticipating,

1287
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: and then he does sit down and talk turkey with

1288
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. Okay, well then all is forgiven. But I'm

1289
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: not so certain that gonna happen. I think he's going

1290
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: to be in demand. And you are also got to

1291
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: know Bobby Wagner just got dropped onto the free agent

1292
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,799
Speaker 1: market two so all of a sudden, he's also thirty

1293
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: two years old, Tremaine's twenty five. All I'm saying is

1294
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 1: another all pro guy is out there and might be

1295
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 1: an a short term alternative to a guy like Tremaine Edmonds,

1296
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: who is obviously a long term solution for some team.

1297
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: But that comes with its own cap implications. Certainly, I've

1298
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: told you, I've said it on the air. I think

1299
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: the CAP's gonna spike big time next year and it's

1300
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna go up. Maybe it went up sixteen million this year,

1301
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I'll bet it goes up twenty five or thirty next

1302
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: year because of Wow, you think it might double the increase? Yeah,

1303
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: I think I think it might double the increase. What

1304
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: I could see, I could see fifteen to twenty thirty. Wow,

1305
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: it was eight it was an eight percent rise. It

1306
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 1: was an eight percent rise. And they're still paying back

1307
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: the money they kept in the cap the pool during

1308
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: COVID when it was gonna go down to like one

1309
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy vibe gonna drop, so they borrowed against that,

1310
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: which and I think that is paid off this year.

1311
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: And if that is the case, you've got that increased

1312
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: plus plus increase. I mean it's it'll be a double increase,

1313
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: so it'll be like it could be like a fifteen

1314
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: plus plus plus That's right, that is right, it could

1315
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 1: you could get You could get a fifteen to twenty

1316
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: percent increase in the cap, which is big for a

1317
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollars cap. Get a lot

1318
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: of these teams out of hot water, for sure. I

1319
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 1: already saw the Saints are signing people to extensions and

1320
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, reworking contracts. They they got a lot of

1321
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: hacking to do with that axe. Yeah, so they already

1322
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: got started. They don't even wait until Combine week. They

1323
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,719
Speaker 1: were getting started last week. It was pretty crazy. They

1324
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. It's like, uh,

1325
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's like Rodney Dangerfield and back to school

1326
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: trying to pull off the triple lendy. Yeah, the Saints,

1327
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the Saints. What Every year, theoretically it'll get to a

1328
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: point where because the cap really doesn't seem like a

1329
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: real thing anymore, you know, because it theoretically is going

1330
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: to get to a point where you won't be able

1331
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: to sign anybody except unrestricted rookie free agents and you'll

1332
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: have to have fifty three guys with those contracts because

1333
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: you've got two hundred million dead cap. Now, let me

1334
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 1: ask you this, do you think you ever get to

1335
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: a place do you think an NFL team that you

1336
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 1: know has to jump through these fiery cap compliance hoops

1337
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: every year ever gets to a point where they say,

1338
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: we're going to have forty eight players on our active roster.

1339
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna have, but we can't afford you know, sixteen

1340
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: practice squad guys will call up two guys every week

1341
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: and rotate them through, so we dress fifty on game day,

1342
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: and that's how we're going to do it. To save

1343
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: on the cam. I have forty eight on game day. Um, right,

1344
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, Like yeah, you have

1345
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: a couple of injuries. You just do two practice squad

1346
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: elevations and off you go. What do you think of that?

1347
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: I think it might. I think we might get there

1348
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: unless we get twenty percent one year, twenty percent the

1349
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: next year. And I will say this, that might stave

1350
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: it off. I'll say this. I wouldn't. I wouldn't renew

1351
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: my season tickets before that season started because he's gonna

1352
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: get ugly. Well, the Saints might have that that's gonna

1353
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: get ugly. I wouldn't. I would not renew my season

1354
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: tickets before that if I'm not worried about him getting under.

1355
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: I mean, they were one oh three over last year

1356
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: and still got under. I don't know how they did it.

1357
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: Whoever who two words? But whoever are the accounting wizards

1358
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: in New Orleans? It's two words. It's cash flow. If

1359
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 1: you got the money to give it, you can do it.

1360
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Sooner or later it comes back. We gotta take a

1361
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,439

Speaker 1: an open line for you at eighth three five fifty

1382
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: one eight fifty two five fifty the number to get

1383
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: on board. But we lead off this segment with Bob

1384
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. What do you got for us, Bob,

1385
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live h Thanks guys for taking

1386
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: the call. We all know Brandon's gonna play well, we

1387
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 1: all know that Brandon's going to play poker, and at

1388
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: the Comboy we're not going to get a lot of information,

1389
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: but I would really like to know maybe you guys

1390
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 1: can help me. I'm I'm a coach and and I

1391
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: look at us from that stampoint as well as a fan.

1392
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 1: But the offensive line, if we could find out where

1393
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: you could get the grades past run blocking, run block,

1394
01:17:56,240 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: rocking blocking, sorry for each of those five guys, and

1395
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: look at those grades and compare it to what's out

1396
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: in the free agent market, so that we as fans

1397
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: could have a just kind of a look at what

1398
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: the Bills are, what they're thinking about doing based on

1399
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 1: their performances of these other players. Do you mean the

1400
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Bills grades on their own guys, Well, the Bills would

1401
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,640
Speaker 1: know what their own grades are. They're not going to

1402
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 1: give that out to people, But can they find out

1403
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: the grades of the free agents at those positions and

1404
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 1: then compare it to what they have and then look

1405
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: at a free agent versus a sasshole? Yeah, which which

1406
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: makes which makes more sense. Yeah, I'll say, what, Bob.

1407
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: The best way to do that is go on go

1408
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: on the web and look it up for yourself, because

1409
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: there's no shortage of guys. The CBS, Sports, Fox Analysts, ESPN,

1410
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Pro Football, FOCOS, Football Talk, Pro Football Reference, they've got

1411
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 1: their own grades on all these guys that are going

1412
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: to be available, and they give that. I guess I

1413
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: haven't gone down the right rabbit hole yet because I've

1414
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: looked and I found like the team rankings on the

1415
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: offensive line, the Bills are like number twelve, So that's

1416
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: that's about all I could find, and I'll just have

1417
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: to do. The individual rankings are probably there if you

1418
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: dig deep enough. But the problem is one guy's individual

1419
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 1: ranking is varies widely from everybody else's, and it's who

1420
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you want to trust. Yeah, and for offensive line in particular, Pob,

1421
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: it's extremely subjective because a lot of the guys out

1422
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: there on the internet that are doing it, they don't

1423
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: know what the play call is because they don't work

1424
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: for the team. And so to grade some player, I

1425
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you, being a former coach, to

1426
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 1: grade a player on a play and his execution when

1427
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: you don't know what the play call is is a

1428
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 1: little misguided. I remember Eric Wood used to complain all

1429
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 1: the time. He was not a fan of you know,

1430
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 1: these outside sources, you know, grading offensive lineman when they

1431
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: don't know what the play call is. So he had

1432
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: a big issue with that. So if you do find it,

1433
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 1: take it with a grain of salt. But thanks for

1434
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: the call. We appreciate it. Let's move along and we

1435
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: go to Marie in Amherst. Let me pull her up here.

1436
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Marie? Hey, guys, so

1437
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking with this first pick in this draft, I'm

1438
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: just gonna go a linebacker. Is Diane Henley Washington State Cougers.

1439
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you want to save some money

1440
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: on the cap. They did develop Tremaine too that they

1441
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: didn't want to trade him for Seattle's first round pick

1442
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: and at least get something back for him. But I mean,

1443
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: I go straight linebacker, you got Hied and Ben third

1444
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: in the back behind them. That safety you got um

1445
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,719
Speaker 1: Milano still there to groom mom. This guy, this kid

1446
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:49,799
Speaker 1: loves football. He's been very, very solid in career at Nevada.

1447
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: Then he transferred over to Washington States. So I think

1448
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: that Chris, you should talk to being and tell him

1449
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: to get over there and get this kid. Yeah. Interesting

1450
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 1: to Okay, you bring up a great paint point, Marie,

1451
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 1: because when they came in, they got Josh and Tremaine

1452
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: in the same draft. Am I right? They got Josh

1453
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: and Tremaine in the same draft. They did so, and

1454
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: they traded up to get Tremaine and Josh. They traded

1455
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: up to get both of them. Yeah, both of them.

1456
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: So obviously Sean McDermott, if not Brandon Bean, really thinks

1457
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: a lot of that spot. In his defense, maybe we're

1458
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: under thinking. Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way.

1459
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they are going to grab a guy to take

1460
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: Tremaine over right and take over his spot. Um, maybe

1461
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: it's that important that they spend a number one draft

1462
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: pick on a position that most of us don't think

1463
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: it is valuable enough to spend that draft pick on.

1464
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 1: I suppose it's possible. I don't think you have to

1465
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: use the first round pick on Diane Henley because at

1466
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: least from the lists that I've seen, he's probably a

1467
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: guy that can be had on Day three. Now I

1468
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: could be way off with some of those rankings, but

1469
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys like first round linebackers, probably

1470
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Trent and Simpson and maybe Drew Sanders. And I'm talking

1471
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: inside guys here, right, You know, there are many inside

1472
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: guys that go in the first round anymore at that

1473
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: position because once again not a super premium position in

1474
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: the eyes of most general managers and personnel executives. The

1475
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: premium positions are corner, wide receiver, pass rusher, left tackle,

1476
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: and quarterback and wide receiver. So that's the modern day NFL.

1477
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: And I think the other positions they don't necessarily fall

1478
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: by the wayside. Don't get me wrong. If the right

1479
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: prospect is there, they'll jump all over him if the

1480
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: value matches up with the spot where they're picking. But

1481
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: I think if teams had I'll put it to you

1482
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: this way, if a team had a cornerback need and

1483
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: a linebacker need, and they had equal grades on a

1484
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: cornerback and a linebacker in round one, they're taking the cornerback. Yeah,

1485
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, because it's just a more valued position in

1486
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 1: the league because of all the throwing that goes on. Right,

1487
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking too, that you might be able to get

1488
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: a guy that is more closely related to a Tremaine

1489
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Edmunds type and a guy like you know, like a

1490
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:33,799
Speaker 1: Jack Campbell or a guy like you know, Mike Morris

1491
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: out of Michigan. Now they're not as fast as a

1492
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,560
Speaker 1: guy like Tremaine would be, but certainly they're kind of

1493
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: built like in both tall and got a big reach.

1494
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: Because there's not too many guys, if any, that are

1495
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: like Tremaine. Tremaine was one of a kind athlete. A

1496
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys that Drew Sanders at Arkansas's six five

1497
01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: two thirty two, Steve Right and you know, then there's

1498
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: Andrey Jones, He's six five two fifty but he's you know,

1499
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: he these guys, these all these guys were talking about

1500
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: they were like four sevens. Tremaine runs a little faster

1501
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: than that. You know. Yeah, I think we're gonna want

1502
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: to watch Drew Sanders run the Arkansas linebacker. Some people

1503
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,680
Speaker 1: are predicting low four or fives. Tremaine ran a four

1504
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,440
Speaker 1: or five three, I want to say at the combine.

1505
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: And he had a mom who was a track His

1506
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 1: mom was a track star in college, so he knew

1507
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: how to run um Drew Sanders. Some people are even saying, again,

1508
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: Arkansas linebacker they're predicting a four or five three for him, right,

1509
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: he's now he's a six sixty five two thirty two. Yeah,

1510
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: now he's also his He might be there. But here's

1511
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: the thing, and I know people kind of salivate over this.

1512
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's an outside guyer or an

1513
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 1: edge guy. Um, he's he's best when he's rushing the passer.

1514
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: Tremaine's okay at that too, But man, they Tremaine's back

1515
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: there taking up space in the secondary. So I don't

1516
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know that a guy like Drew

1517
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: Sanders is going to fit the skill set that they're

1518
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: looking for and the guy they want to run in

1519
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: this defense. But I mean, you know that's not to

1520
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 1: say you can't. So yeah, what are you all right? Philosophically? Now,

1521
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 1: say there's a guy out there like these guys we're

1522
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: talking about that turn out to be exactly the kind

1523
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: of guy the Bills are looking for in that spot.

1524
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 1: Do you if and Tremaine walks, do you spend your

1525
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: twenty seventh overall pick on that guy? I think I

1526
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: only do if I don't like the value at offensive line,

1527
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't like the value at wide receiver, and I

1528
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,640
Speaker 1: don't even like the value at tight end, then yeah,

1529
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: maybe I do it right. I think that's the only

1530
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: way I do it. Though I agree I think there's

1531
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna be an offensive lineman at twenty I'm sliding back.

1532
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:00,639
Speaker 1: There's gonna be an offensive lineman at twenty seven. There's

1533
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a wide receiver at twenty seven. One of

1534
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: those two is gonna be there, and maybe even a

1535
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 1: good tight end too, in a tight end her corner

1536
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: so or a safety. Heck, even a safety. So I

1537
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: get line linebacker right. Because back when they picked Tremaine Edmonds,

1538
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: they didn't have no I didn't want to say it

1539
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: like this, but they didn't have nobody. They don't have anybody.

1540
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they needed some guys, and they needed a

1541
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: guy to go in there that would stand in that

1542
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: huddle and make some defensive calls and be a guy.

1543
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 1: And they got him, and he turned out to be

1544
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:42,799
Speaker 1: that guy. They their needs list is far far shorter

1545
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: now than it was in twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen

1546
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: when they took Tremaine. So I don't think that's a

1547
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 1: spot where I pick him a guy that replaces him.

1548
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: I think he got to go offensive lineman or wide

1549
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: receiver or tight end or safety or corner, and I

1550
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: don't take I don't take an edge guy either after

1551
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: the recent history. Although if you keep taking him one time,

1552
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a good guy, one of you, know

1553
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: what I mean, A difference maker, one of these guys,

1554
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 1: because none of the guys they have, right, none of

1555
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: the guys they have, they've all been good, but you're

1556
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: always kind of looking at him like, gosh, you wish

1557
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: we were better, you know what I mean. Yeah, I

1558
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 1: don't know what it is I think, and I know

1559
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: we got to get to break here, but I think,

1560
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: for some reason, I think year three is gonna be

1561
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: big for Rousseau. I don't know why, but like much

1562
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: like you felt that year three was gonna be big

1563
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: for Dawson Knox and it proved to be. I don't

1564
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 1: know what it is, but I just feel like year

1565
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: three for Rousseau is gonna be the tipping point. Would

1566
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: be nice, and I know we all hope for that

1567
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: it'd be nice. Of year three was a big tipping

1568
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: point for Spencer Brown too. M Yeah, it would certainly

1569
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 1: make the trenches look a whole lot better if you

1570
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: can get the weekend. I say this roof from those

1571
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 1: two guys. For sure, Russeau has played well. He's been

1572
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 1: a good player for them a very Yes, he has,

1573
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: and I kind of slowed him down if he takes

1574
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. I think it kind

1575
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: of compromised his trajectory last year. If he takes it

1576
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 1: one step forward this year again, Rousseau, He's gonna be

1577
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: everything they hoped he would be if he takes another step.

1578
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he missed like three games and he's still

1579
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: had eight sacks. All right, we gotta take a break here.

1580
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,679
