Speaker 1: Tasker with you some March Madness to discuss from last night.

4
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: Off the top, but we will continue with plenty of

5
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: NFL free agency as there is a team in the

6
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: NFC South that continues to stockpile offensive weapons and they

7
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: added another today. We'll get into that as well as

8
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: all of the latest rumors surrounding DeAndre Hopkins and where

9
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: he might land. There are teams in the bidding. Who

10
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: decides what the right price is and what does Arizona accept?

11
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: We have to wait and see. But first three games

12
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: last night for March Madness, Steve. All three were really

13
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: good and the two that were played at Madison Square Gardeners.

14
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: There was four games, sorry, four games last night, the

15
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: three that I was I should say the three that

16
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: I was awake for because I didn't make it to

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: the last one. Um, they're just about all of them

18
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: were really good. But the one that went back and

19
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: forth the most was Michigan State, UM, Kansas State and

20
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Kansas State. What a game? I mean, I was watching it.

21
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Guy got it about ten minutes in so ten minutes

22
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: left in the first half, I had it on. I

23
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: was glued. I was glued. Dude back and forth just

24
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: it was like a heavyweight fight, just slugging each other

25
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: back and forth for the last thirty minutes of that game.

26
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Is unbelievable. And Noel, the point guard for Kansas State,

27
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Marquise Noel, Oh my god, the guy carried him Harlem

28
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: kid playing at the garden, hitting big shots, sets an

29
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: sets an NCAA record for assists in a game with

30
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: nineteen assists, twenty points, nineteen assists, and has the ultimate

31
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: fake out in the entire game. I've never seen it before.

32
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: He's dribbling near the mid court line and they're down one.

33
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: I want to say, at the time, they're in overtime,

34
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: there's a minute left in the game. It was tied.

35
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: I was it was nice overtime. He's looking at his

36
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: coach on the sideline there seemingly argue and to run

37
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: right and his teammates in the right corner and he

38
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: backdoors his defender. He throws him a forty foot alley

39
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: oop reverse dunk, and the roof came off the garden.

40
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Holy crow. It was unbelievable and he hit a couple

41
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: of show hit a couple of shots late, and then

42
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: when Michigan State comes down to try to tie the

43
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: game with nine fifteen seconds left, he strips the point

44
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: guard Tyson Walker. The ball goes the other way and

45
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: lays it up and in at the buzzers. I think

46
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: they won by three or four yea. But man talk

47
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: about showing up and showing out for a five a

48
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: point guard. It's easy to root for the little guys.

49
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: Hard over height is his motto apparently. And because he

50
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: was a guy, he didn't get recruited by anybody in

51
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: high school, went to like Arkansas a little rock for

52
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: a year, didn't get any playing time left there, went

53
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: to Independence Community College in Kansas, and then last two

54
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: years he's at Kansas State and he is tearing it up.

55
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: He's got forty two assists in three tournament games and

56
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: they're in the Elite eight. So good for them. Yeah,

57
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: it was a fantastic game. And of course I grew

58
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: up in Kansas where KSE State is in Manhattan, Kansas

59
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: from the little Apple to the Big Apple that's right,

60
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: and then straight east of there is Lawrence, Kansas where

61
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: KU is. So the whole state is divided into Kuk State, folks.

62
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: My wife's at Ku alone, and k State is you know,

63
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: there's a state school, so you get it from here.

64
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: You get Michigan Michigan State. You know, you know, we

65
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: all know the drill, all the rivalries, and you know,

66
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: obviously Kansas is a blue blood in the in the

67
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 1: basketball yes world. And to see Kase State walk into

68
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: the garden the five eight point guard, that's pretty awesome.

69
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: And I mean, Michigan State's always a tough out, especially

70
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: in the tournament. Tom is those great coach, but I

71
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: was rooting for Kansas State last night. He got his

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: ankle hurt right before halftime. Yeah, he did, and was

73
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: really and he kind of tried to walk. He started

74
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: to walk it off and make a couple of Michigan

75
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: State guys started yapping at him, and he flipped a

76
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: switch and all his teammates it was over when they

77
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: started doing that. He flipped a switch and took that

78
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: game over at five eight and was making some passes

79
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: that I mean, I could see it on TV. I

80
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: don't know how he saw it. Um it's like thirty

81
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: foot bounce passes. Yeah, I mean, he's bouncing the ball

82
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: down through the middle of the key, from the top

83
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: of the key to a guy standing under the basket.

84
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how he got it through there, let

85
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: alone saw it. Um stuff like that going on. It

86
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: was is amazing. It's stuff you've we've come to expect

87
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: from moments in the tournament, the NCAA Basketball Tournament. It's

88
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: it's been. It was amazing last night was it was

89
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: a good night. It's been a it's been an outstanding

90
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: tournament thus far, right outstanding. And that bracket out West

91
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: has been blown up because not only is the number

92
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: one seed in the West out, but so is the

93
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: number two seed. And you see LA. They lost to

94
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Gonzaga last night in a back and forth game that

95
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: I unfortunately missed. I conked out, didn't make it, but

96
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: that was another good game. So the two of the

97
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: best teams in the Pac twelve this year are we're

98
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: both two seeds in the tournament and they're both out

99
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Arizona in the first round. And then you see LA

100
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: last night. So I mean the brackets are wide open, man,

101
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: wide open. Yeah, it's it's pretty Yeah, two one seeds

102
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: already out. You got two two seeds already out. It's crazy,

103
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts. It is a wide open field, which is

104
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: only going to make it all the more interesting. It's

105
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: that time of season where you know, we can you,

106
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and I we can you, and I find we got

107
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: to take a breath for a minute. It's late in

108
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: free agency drafts still month away, and we can kind

109
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: of take and this tournament falls right. This thing is unbelievable.

110
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I you know, I think

111
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: all of us do this. You go back to and

112
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: remember your college years and what it was like when

113
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: cool stuff happened around campus. You think, man, it was

114
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: just well, it's awesome time of your life, right, I mean,

115
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, the whole world's ahead of your, whole life's

116
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: ahead of you, and you're sitting there watching your team

117
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: play well and do something cool on a national stage.

118
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: We all go back to that, I think, or at

119
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: least envision ourselves in that spot. And it's just something

120
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: we can so many Americans can relate to. It's so

121
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: fun to be be a part of. Even from where

122
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm at and even Florida Atlantic beat Tennessee last night,

123
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: bombing threes in the second half and won that game.

124
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: That was an exciting game too. It was just a

125
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: lot of good basketball. It's the cool I mean fairly,

126
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Dickinson getting to the getting to the round of sixteen,

127
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, awesome them. Yeah, so it was

128
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: really good. I'm looking forward to more of the games tonight,

129
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: so that'll be They made it too, firmly, dickats. Yes, yes,

130
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: they won one game. Coach is already gone. That was

131
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: a big one. He's in Iona. He replaced Patino who

132
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: went to Saint John's, which I'm excited about. So Saint

133
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: John's might actually be relevant again. Who knows. But yeah,

134
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: so more more games tonight, it'll be great. But we

135
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: got to get back to the football side of the equation.

136
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: As you know, it is the OBL Friday fan mail

137
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: bag day. So any questions you have about the Bills,

138
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: free agency, the draft, the NFL at large, some of

139
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: the proposed rule changes, which we'll get into in a

140
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: second that will be taking place and voted upon by

141
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: the Competition Committee and the owners at the league meetings

142
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Fire away, but I will start with this. So,

143
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: free agency, as we know is still going on, and

144
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: very quietly, Steve the Carolina Panthers have been assembling their

145
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: roster under new head coach Frank Reich, and obviously they

146
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: got to figure out the quarterback thing. But they got

147
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: the first pick in the draft, so I think they'll

148
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Yeah, after training for it.

149
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: And they resigned their kicker, Yeah, Eddie Piniero. Steve I

150
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: was surprised. I was like, oh, they signed him to

151
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: a two year deal. Okay, he's kind of bounced around

152
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: the league a little bit. Do you know he was

153
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: thirty three a thirty five last year for the Carolina Panthers.

154
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: Eddie Piniero. Really, that's a great season. He missed two

155
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: attempts the whole year. That's crazy. I mean, I know

156
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: he plays in the NFC South, so you know you're

157
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: kicking indoors for two road games every year at New

158
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: Orleans and ta Atlanta and Tampa Tapas. You couldn't be

159
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: nice Tampa's Tampa. So you would expect a kicker kicking

160
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: in the NFC South to have a good measure of success.

161
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: But that that's extraordinary thirty degree of thirty five. I

162
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta look it up and see how many,

163
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: how many, how many attempts of those were from forty

164
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: yards plus, because that's kind the real parometer there. If

165
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: you're kicking twenty and thirty yards all season, then thirty

166
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: three at thirty five suddenly isn't as impressive. But I'm

167
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: going to check that out when I get a chance.

168
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: But their big free agent signing was Miles Sanders Carolina

169
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Panthers like a week or so ago, four year deal

170
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: for him to kind of be the lead back in

171
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: their offense. So smart move there. You're going to draft

172
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, get a running back who's going to

173
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: be able to help him and keep defenses honest. And

174
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: today they signed DJ Chark. They also signed safety Von

175
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Bell away from Cincinnati for their defense. Von Bell's a

176
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: really good player. And they signed a defensive tackle who's

177
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: kind of got under the radar, Shy Tuttle from New Orleans.

178
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: They signed him to a three year deal. So interesting

179
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: little moves being made by the Carolina Panthers in what

180
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: is shaping up to be a wide open division, especially

181
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: with the retirement of Tom Brady. Atlanta has been loading

182
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: up on a lot of people too. They've been throwing

183
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: money around, so the NFC South is is kind of

184
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: becoming an interesting division in light of all that's happened.

185
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: The Ravens signed a receiver away from New England. Nelson

186
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Agalore is going to sign a one year deal with

187
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens. So that's interesting. You see receivers going to

188
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore without a true quarterback answer as of yet, but

189
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: I guess the money was right for Nelson Agalore, so

190
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: he goes there. Make of it what you will. So

191
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: those are kind of the only main deals on the

192
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. And then Tremaine Edmund's brother,

193
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: Terrell Edmonds, the safety with the Steelers, former first round pick.

194
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: He's agreed to terms on a one year deal with

195
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles, so he goes from the western part of

196
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: the state to the eastern part of the state in Pennsylvania.

197
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna play for the Eagles next year on a

198
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: one year contract. So those are kind of the goings

199
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: on with respect to free agency. Nothing earth shattering, but

200
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: just some if you recognizeable names out there in the market,

201
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: have you. Meanwhile, the rumors keep circling that DeAndre Hopkins

202
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: is going to be traded at some point or another.

203
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Whether it's sooner or later, nobody knows. I know there

204
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: are some out there speculating that with the league meetings

205
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: next week in Arizona, you know, the entire league GM's

206
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: included are going to be descending on Arizona next week.

207
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Does that facilitate a deal getting done because people are

208
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: face to face and can talk whenever they want at

209
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: their leisure with new Arizona GM Monti Asenford, We'll have

210
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, that's going to be interesting to see.

211
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: Conversations always take place out there, and I think one

212
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: of the things that it's expedites it is the fact

213
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: that you can be talking to the other general manager

214
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: and the guy he works for walks up. You got

215
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: owners in the room, there's no reason to go back,

216
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: and they have get in touch with the owner, have him,

217
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: you know, call the owner. The logistics of just getting

218
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: together with the guy who reallyads sign off on it,

219
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: if indeed there is some of that, and making it work.

220
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: A deal of this magnitude for the kind of money

221
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about with with DeAndre Hopkins, your nineteen million

222
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: dollars cap hits this year, fourteen million dollar cap hit

223
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: next year. You got to have your ducks in the

224
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: real financially, and that means your owner's got to be

225
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: on board with it as well, and so does you

226
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: know Mike Bidwell, the owner of the Cardinals, So having

227
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: him out there in Arizona, having all those guys out

228
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: there in Arizona makes it You can just turn around

229
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: and go over and talk to the guy and say, yeah, okay,

230
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: we're up for that. We're gonna be good with that.

231
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: Or you can get you know, get it done over

232
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: dinner kind of thing. A lot of stuff does get

233
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: on and a lot of stuff that doesn't happen over

234
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the course of these owners meetings into Arizona this coming week,

235
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: the groundwork is laid, maybe not for this DeAndre Hopkins deal,

236
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of stuff that has happened over

237
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: the years where you hear about it, and there the

238
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: first time you hear about as well. We had a

239
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: quick minute at the owners meetings last year and they

240
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: brought it up and we were like, oh yeah, so yeah,

241
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: I wish we were gonna be out there actually a

242
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: little bit, although it be vastly boring for the most part,

243
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: but weather it'd be nice. The weather it'd be nice. Um,

244
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: anytime you get the thirty two owners ship groups together,

245
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: stuff happens. That's important. There's a little bit of there's

246
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of waves coming that the commander's situation

247
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: might be brought up there on the agenda, on the agenda,

248
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: the sale of the team, rules changes, all that stuff

249
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: is gonna is always on the agenda. It's it's just

250
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: really interesting. But I don't know. I think the DeAndre

251
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Hopkins thing will be done before then. You think it's

252
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: before the owners meetings are over, before before they start.

253
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: If I think I've done that, I think this weekend.

254
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen soon. I think it'll happen soon. Steve,

255
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't and I don't know anything. I don't. I

256
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: don't even know. If there's a lot there's a lot

257
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: of people trying to speak it into existence. The DeAndre

258
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Hopkins Buffalo, right, we love the I love the guy.

259
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: I think guy can really go, he can really play.

260
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's going to happen. That doesn't um

261
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of a lot

262
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: of layers, a lot of a lot of layers, and

263
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things I got to fall into place

264
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: for a deal of that magnitude to happen, even though

265
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: we see it more in this day and age than

266
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: we ever have. I don't know. I I'm trying to

267
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: get my mind around how I feel, like, like what

268
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: the likelihood is. I'm just I'm on the negative side

269
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: of it today, where it is that the Chiefs are

270
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: in on it. I mean, you if you're an offensive

271
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: juggernaut of a team that thinks you need a guy

272
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: like that to put you over the air. I mean,

273
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: they did lose Juju Smith, Schuster and mcole Hardman in

274
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, so you understand why they

275
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: would also be in the market for a player of

276
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: that caliber. But Chiefs are in on it, apparently along

277
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: with the Bills. I saw the Ravens mentioned in there

278
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: and the Raiders. I don't know. I mean, it's interesting

279
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: that you know, the Raiders the Bills I have players

280
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: that are true number one receivers on their roster in

281
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and Stefan Diggs. I think the Bills view

282
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Hopkins as their two if they trade it for him. Yeah,

283
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: It's probably the same for the Raiders. Yeah. But here

284
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: you get a guy like DeAndre Hopkins, you bring him

285
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: in and you say, listen, we're gonna put you in

286
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: the offense, you're gonna be on the field, and in

287
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: any offense. If a guy starts being the guy that

288
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: gives you return on your investment, the more the times

289
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: you throw to him, the better things happen, the more

290
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: balls he's gonna get. So every receiver knows that if

291
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: you start catching the ball and making things happen, you

292
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: quickly become a one, a if not a one, even

293
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: if you come in the doors a two and particular,

294
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: and when defenses start to yeah, you're just to match

295
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: up problem and you're and that's what that's what these

296
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 1: guys are. And I get it. Everybody's got a one,

297
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: everybody's got a two. And you know, you can have

298
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: a pecking order if you want. But these guys, you know,

299
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: if they go out there and everybody's and they're winning,

300
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: everybody's catching balls, you can call him whatever you want,

301
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: just you know, give him the Winum. So Hopkins knows

302
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: that he's gonna go to a place where he thinks

303
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: his opportunity is going to be the best for him

304
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: and and make the most of it. He would. He's

305
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna fit in anywhere he goes. And they're gonna be

306
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: situations where he is the one in the red zone.

307
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's not the one in Buffalo

308
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: like guy wins when he's double team. Yeah, he's open

309
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: when he's not open, and you know, he's like digs Um,

310
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: he's always open and DeAndre Hopkins is open even if

311
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: he's not open. So that's a that's a tough two

312
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: guys to get by. That's a tough two guys to

313
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: get by. So I'm I'm really interested to see where

314
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins ends up. If you're DeAndre Hopkins and the

315
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Bills are both in it tough competition,

316
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: that's tough. That's a tough call to make, I think. Um,

317
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you get Vaughan and Josh calling him, you

318
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: got Mahomes and Andy Reid calling him. Who's gonna sell

319
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey? Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, because that's what

320
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: it comes down to, really where the guy, you know,

321
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: he says not if the deals are the same. You know,

322
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that you know well, And what could

323
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: also be at play there too is because it's really

324
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: not it's really not Hopkins decision, right, I mean, I'm

325
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: sure Arizona will try to take his preferences under consideration.

326
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: But Arizona's job here is to get the best deal

327
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: they can for their club. That is correct, Hopkins preferences

328
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: are secondary, maybe even tertiary. So to terti what what

329
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: do you call me? Thirdly, so, yeah, I mean Arizona

330
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: is Arizona is going to send him to the team

331
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: that gets them the best compensation package. That's first and foremost,

332
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: And so I think everybody's selling him is all well

333
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: and good. But in a trade scenario, it's a little

334
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: bit different than free agency. So yeah, and the offers

335
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: are not going to be the same. There's gonna be

336
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: some differences, like if they try it, if they for instance,

337
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna do this, but if you

338
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: give it. If the Bills and the Chiefs both offer

339
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: a two, which two would be better? You're trying to

340
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: split hairs there a little bit, right, Bills two is better? Right?

341
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: If it's yeah, what if the Bills offer a three?

342
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: And then you know it's the same draft pick, but

343
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: it's a different spot in this year's draft. Chiefs have

344
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: half the cap space that the Bills do, so maybe

345
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: that comes into play. As well. I mean, you could

346
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: maneuver the thing, right, here's the thing to people and

347
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: make some more Arizona. Arizona would love to get everybody

348
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: in the room and just have him go up for auction, right,

349
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: so who can bid? Right? A third and a fifth

350
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: and a fifth and a fifth and a fifth got

351
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: the gavel out and every exactly. So yeah, um, I

352
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I just gotta wait and see, because we

353
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: have heard nothing from the bills guarding this nothing And

354
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: when it's quiet, that's when you kind of suspect that

355
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: there really is stuff going on, you know what I mean? Man, Well, yeah,

356
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean maybe brit spiracy. Well, here's the thing. They

357
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: probably don't know. The Arizona Cardinals might be in this too.

358
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: There there, people are waiting for the word yep, are

359
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: you have you? What's your price now? Because we ain't

360
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: giving you two ones. I would just like to know

361
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: how many one how many teams are legitimately in the

362
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: pool of consideration as a trade partner, That's what I

363
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: would like to know, because if there's there's more than two,

364
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: I would like to think that Arizona would try to

365
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: whittle it down to a couple of teams and just say, hey,

366
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: your offer is very competitive, but there's this other team

367
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: that has a very competitive offer too. How much can

368
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: you sweeten the pot? Blah blah blah. Or they're on

369
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: the other side of it. There might be a GM

370
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: that says, hey, look, whatever you feel your best offer is,

371
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: if it's not ours, please call us before you complete

372
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: a deal and I'll see if we can do something more.

373
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, right, there's always that last minute and I

374
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: and We've talked about it. That's why Deshaun Watson got

375
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: the deal he did. We were We've been told. It's

376
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: been reported that Cleveland got told, I mean Cleveland got told,

377
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: they got they're out on they weren't going to get there,

378
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: and they got their diet, their dandrum. Their owners said

379
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and he took it personal and went out

380
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: and got the guy and gave him the stupid contract

381
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: and gave away three first round picks. Right, So how

382
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: about this? Yeah, right, I mean, that's that's what happens.

383
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: The guy gets personally insulted by it, and he says,

384
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, well, those guys aren't used to being told no,

385
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: that's right, that's why you want to get out there.

386
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: To the owners meetings. Right, you're not telling me though,

387
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to see a fistfight with checkbooks, right,

388
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, let me slapping with my check book like that,

389
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you with my wallet. Uh. We were

390
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: circulating this this morning on our tech string for the show.

391
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: NFL owners could be voting to flex Thursday night football

392
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: game Steve. Flex scheduling could be coming to Amazon's Thursday

393
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: night football Owners are going to be asked at this

394
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: coming week's league meetings to approve a flex scheduling plan

395
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: for late season Thursday night games. It would also relax

396
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: the limits on the number of games each team can

397
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: play on short rest each season. The current rule is

398
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: only one game. They were they're trying to up that

399
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: to two to pave the way for these late season

400
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: Thursday night games. Obviously, Amazon not exactly thrilled with their

401
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: first season of telecasts. Some of the games were so boring.

402
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: Even their own announcer Al Michaels was saying, where's the action.

403
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's about as bad as it was bad.

404
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when the when the play by play guy

405
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: is criticizing the lack of action on the field, that's

406
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: about as low as you could go. The guy calling

407
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: the game is telling you it's bad. It was rough.

408
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: They had some I can't remember what, but it was

409
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: it was like it wasn't just like it was like

410
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: week after week after week were those games just reeked.

411
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: I just remember coming in here and we're doing shows

412
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, what is the matchup this week?

413
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's another dog. Yes, it was bad.

414
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: So they're trying to enhance that package by giving Amazon's

415
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: Thursday night schedule the oportunity to shift and move some

416
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: games around late in the season so they can actually

417
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: get some contenders. But I got to imagine that this

418
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: is going to get a little bit of pushback, Steve,

419
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: because you know the you know the coaches aren't thrilled

420
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: when you know they're playing a game on short rest

421
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and you certainly know

422
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: the players aren't thrilled by it either. Your bodies are

423
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: hanging by week twelve thirteen, and then you're told with

424
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: fifteen days. Notice, hey, by the way, that game you

425
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: got in week sixteen, the division game that's kind of

426
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: important in your race right now, you're gonna play it

427
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: on short rest have fun. Yeah, as long as they

428
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: can keep it fair, I don't care. And let's just

429
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: remember this. The players and the coaches of the guys

430
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: getting paid Amazon, the one who's making the stink is paying, right,

431
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: So their voice tends to go along with a chisel

432
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: and hammer in stone rather than yelling into yelling into

433
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: an echo chamber in a canyon or something that. You know.

434
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: Amazon is gonna say how this goes? They're paying fifteen

435
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: billion dollars for this package and they want better games.

436
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: It was some unbelievable number. I don't know if it

437
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: was that much. It was seven billion or something. Wasn't it.

438
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: I might have doubled it up. Anyway, They're paying billions

439
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars for the rise of these games.

440
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, give us some game, give us some

441
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: real games. I don't want those, right. Eleven billion? Okay

442
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: for eleven seasons? Wow, Bruce Lee, I forgot. Do you

443
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: think they're not gonna when that's happening? Right? Mark it

444
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: down and Amazon comes up and say, hey, my god,

445
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: I forgot. It was eleven billion. Amazon comes in and says, hey,

446
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: hey guys, hey, Roger Um, love the Sea, Love the job,

447
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: love the love, the you know package. We're getting very

448
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: happy with our eleven billion dollar investment. Could you give

449
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: us a little bit of flexibility in the schedule, just

450
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: it's all we're asking. And yes, perhaps, thank you, we

451
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: will do that. Well. They and they get their Black

452
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: Friday game too this year. That was the other thing

453
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: that they negotiated. Uh yeah, and if and oh, we're

454
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: not going to get the flex scheduling for our Thursday

455
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: night games. You know what, we've had a snaffoo with

456
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: our Friday game, Black Friday game. That check's not going

457
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: to clear. Oh yeah, we will. Transaction telling you man,

458
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: you're it's eleven billion dollars. I can't even wrap my

459
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: head around the money. I really can't. I just I can't. Dude.

460
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: That's eleven figures eleven. That's like nine zeros two, one

461
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: and eleven in front of them, in front of the

462
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: decimal to the left of the decimal point nine zeros.

463
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: Whoa could you please just give us some better games.

464
00:26:54,160 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: We will give you the best games we can find. Oh,

465
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: and you've got and then you've got right, then you've

466
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: got your guys down on the rank and file, say

467
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: the rank and file players and coach are going, Hey,

468
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of rough on us, shorts. Get shut up.

469
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: They're giving us eleven billions. We're getting eleven billion. Put

470
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: your helmet off right, rest on, rest on Monday or

471
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: Friday eight, take an extra day the next week, go

472
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: shopping on him. That's the way it's gonna be. Yeah,

473
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: you how you really think this? I'll bet this passes

474
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: thirty two zip? Yeah, probably, what do they need? That's fine?

475
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Sign up? I'm good. Uh. We're up against the break here.

476
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: So we'll dive into the twenty twenty three playing rule

477
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: proposal summary in just a second, because I want to

478
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: bounce some of these rules proposals off of Steve to

479
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: get his initial thoughts on it. I will tell you, though,

480
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: that the one rule that is not up for a

481
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: proposed change is the two cheek sneak play Steve ball

482
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: carriers getting pushed by a player behind them that is

483
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: not on this list, So it looks like for another

484
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: season anyway. The push play on the sneak we saw

485
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis do it a bunch of times with Josh Allen,

486
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and whoever was pushing him. They did at

487
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: forty one plays last year and at a ninety percent

488
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: conversion rate on him. No, I don't think that's not

489
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. Let her do it. Yeah, well,

490
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: there was a lot of them. There was a lot

491
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: of consternation and discussion at the end of the season, like, oh,

492
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna outlaw this play at the end of it

493
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: for next year. It's not even on the list, So

494
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: that one didn't even make the cut. Defend it, we're

495
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: whining about it. Yeah, better, better. Yeah, you still can't

496
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: pull a player. You can't pull a teammate for you

497
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: can you can push, but you can't pull them. So

498
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: you know you can push back. You know it is legal.

499
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: All right. We'll take a break here. When we come back,

500
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: we are going to outline some of the more interesting

501
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: playing rule proposals that will be voted on by owners

502
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: next week at the owners meetings in Arizona. Some interesting

503
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: ones here. We'll dive into them next Here on One

504
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

505
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: Here on a Friday, Chris Brown, Steve Task your One

506
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: Bills Live is the show. Thanks for joining us. Going

507
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: over some of the playing rule proposals that the owners

508
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: will be voting on next week. And we're not going

509
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: to go through all of these because I think there's

510
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: seventeen in all, but some of the ones that caught

511
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: my eye. I want to bounce off as Steve here

512
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: for his initial thoughts. Proposal number two by Philadelphia, they

513
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: want to amend the rule and permit a team to

514
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: maintain possession of the ball after a score by substituting

515
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: one offensive play in exchange for an onside kick attempt.

516
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: And they want to do it in the following scenario,

517
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: fourth and twenty from the kicking team's twenty yard line

518
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: from your own twenty. No, yeah, the kicking team, do

519
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: you score, You're going to kick off? Yeah, from your

520
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: own twenty. Okay, I feel better about that. Yeah, I

521
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: miss I misread that. Um, I'm all about it. I'm yeah.

522
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: Because and I think are they convinced. Do you think

523
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: they're convinced that nobody likes the fourth and fifteen? They

524
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: believe it's too easy, so let's make it fourth and twenty,

525
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: make it seemingly harder, and then they'll accept it. Is

526
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: that what you think their angle is there? Because you

527
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: remember the fourth and fifteen was the popular one instead

528
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: of the on side and kicking it got poo pooed.

529
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: The XFL's using it now, Yeah, and they're like getting

530
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: it every time they try it. Almost right. Maybe they're

531
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: like fourth and twenty. They might find more accept of

532
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: a fourth and twenty from the twenty. I wonder what

533
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: the analytics say the average conversion on that would be,

534
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: Like what would be the success rate on act? What

535
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: they want is like one out of eleven percent? They

536
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: want them one out of yeah, one out of ten, Yeah,

537
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: one out of eight something like that, right, maybe not

538
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: even that. Maybe I would say probably one out of ten.

539
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: They want something that's ten percent successful. Yeah, yeah, But

540
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. This isn't like this is you can

541
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: say one out of ten, that's great. But some some

542
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: teams have Skyler Thompson playing quarterback. Some teams have Pat

543
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes Josh Allen playing quarterback. If you're one of those

544
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: teams that's Josh Allen Pat Mahomes, you'll vote for it,

545
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: don't you. Yeah, you should. You gotta think you got

546
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: better than a ten percent chance. Yeah, I think you're

547
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: on the high end of the teams that are like

548
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: on the fifty fifty, you might have twelve to fifteen

549
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: percent chance of Yeah, so I'm yeah, Joe Burrow and Cincinnati. Yeah, shoot,

550
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: some of these teams could run a quick screen and

551
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: expect to get it. Yeah, I wonder, I think it's

552
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm all about. The reason I found it interesting was

553
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if fourth and twenty tipped the scales enough

554
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,239
Speaker 1: to get more people to vote for it, because it's not.

555
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they thought fourth and fifteen was

556
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: too easy to get, so Philly says, well, let's make

557
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: it fourth in twenty and then we'll get the majority

558
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: vote that we need to get it to pass. Right,

559
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: I have to believe that was the impetus to make

560
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: it fourth in twenty. You can't get an onside kick

561
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: anymore because of them, because of the player's safety involved.

562
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: You can't line it, you can't overload, you can't blow

563
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: people up, you can't have there's only certain number of

564
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: people can have outside the number, but you can. The

565
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: alignment precludes you surprising the other team by outnumbering through

566
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: the kama kaze play anymore. Right, you can't. Yeah, you

567
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: can't outnumber them, and yeah, so you're never gonna get it.

568
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if that gets some traction. I think it

569
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: might have a chance. I think all these things they're

570
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: designed to make it difficult to have blowout losses. And

571
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. Yeah, And that's

572
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: why this wouldn't be an instance of a blowout loss.

573
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: This would be an instance of a team trying to

574
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: climb back into the game to make it closer. Right.

575
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's because they're down big and there's

576
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, they got to go for the on side

577
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: that and it's late and they're running out of time,

578
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I'm I'm, I'm okay with it.

579
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: It just makes it more difficult to win games. You know,

580
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: you now you got you gotta stay on it defensively.

581
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: There is a rule proposal number four by Detroit, which

582
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: is similar to Rule number eight proposal by the Rams,

583
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: and what Detroit wants to do is expand the coach's

584
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: challenge system to include personal vows called on the field.

585
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: And it's believed the main impetus for that proposal is

586
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: to try to get some of the roughing the passer

587
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: calls reversed by challenging them. It was a RAMS right.

588
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: They want they actually want the Sky judge to have

589
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: the power to overturn those or by coaches challenge, replay

590
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: assist or coaches challenge. The RAMS are asking for Detroit's

591
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: asking to expand coaches challenges to include personal fouls on

592
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: the field, chief among them roughing the passer. Yeah, yeah,

593
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: because some of those were called and it's like the

594
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: guy didn't even touch him. What why? Well, yeah, touching

595
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: him shouldn't shouldn't constitute roughing, right, Um, I'm okay with it.

596
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: And as long as it's fast and easy and we

597
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: can all agree on what it's supposed to be supposed

598
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: to be and what the call is and was. If

599
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: they call it the same all the time, that's fine. Yeah,

600
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't care. It's fine. Just make it quick, painless,

601
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: and make sure it's easy to see on that replay

602
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: by me when I've had a few beers on my couch, right, right, right.

603
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: Also as a proposal, they want to provide teams with

604
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: more opportunities to get a third challenge. The only way

605
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: to do that now is if you're successful on your

606
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: first two challenges and you get both calls ruled in

607
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: your favor, you get a third challenge. That's the only

608
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: way to get a third one. Detroit wants to expand

609
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: the ways in which a third challenge can be acquired.

610
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to take that, because

611
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: it's just gonna lengthen the game. It does, but all

612
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: say this. If I'm a coach and I get a

613
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: challenge right, I want the challenge back. That's what That's

614
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: all I say. If I if I challenge something, I'm

615
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: right and you're wrong, give me my challenge back. Well,

616
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: then that could potentially give you an unlimited number of

617
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: challenge If I keep getting it right and you keep

618
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: getting it wrong, it should be unlimited. That's the point.

619
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: It's a reward system. If I keep getting it right

620
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: and proving that you're wrong, hell is wrong with me.

621
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: My challenge is back. I should have an I should

622
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: have a lifetime supply of those things. If I'm always right,

623
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: you're always wrong, give me my challenges. But that's how

624
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: it should work. Period. They get out of jail free

625
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: card monopoly. Oh that's if it's a false arrest. Yeah,

626
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: I should get out of jail free. I love that.

627
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: If his officiating crew is so bad, if they keep

628
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: getting it wrong, I keep getting unlimited opportunities to show

629
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: how in art that is exactly right, that is exactly right,

630
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: fastest way to turn a football game into a comedy.

631
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: That would be great. Oh my god, I love that.

632
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott throwing his challenge flag for the tenth time

633
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: here today. What are they thinking, I'm justiating crew is

634
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: god awful, mcdot the only fair way to do it.

635
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: If I challenge you, I should win, and I win,

636
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: I get another one. Yeah, it's like I I helped

637
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: the game. It's a public service. Yeah, so I should

638
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: get something for that. You should get as many as

639
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: you keep getting right period. Houston is proposing expanding the

640
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: replay officials jurisdiction to allow for review on failed fourth

641
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: down of temps. I'm in favor of this one. Now.

642
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: There have been times where you know they'll review, you know,

643
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: did the was the line to gain reached or not?

644
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: But using the sky judge might expedite that process. Like

645
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: he's probably looking at it before the team on the

646
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: sideline that didn't get It's like, we got it, we

647
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: got it. What are you talking about? He might be

648
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: looking at it already, and then you might expedite the

649
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: process as on fourth down conversions. Yeah, I don't have

650
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,479
Speaker 1: a problem with the sky judge getting involved in that. Yeah,

651
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: giving him, giving him a second I would think that

652
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: would pass given a hot minute to do it. People

653
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: want to make The Competition Committee wants to make the

654
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: penalty for tripping a fifteen yard penalty. It's currently a

655
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: ten yard penalty. Apparently they think there's too much tripping

656
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: in the game. We've seen some defensive linemen when they

657
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: don't make the sack and they're laying on the ground,

658
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: stick their leg out and trip the quarterback. I saw

659
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: that probably like three or four times this past season,

660
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not just Josh not Yeah, they did it

661
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: to Josh right. Was that Kansas City game or I

662
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: can't remember it was. I think it was Kansas City game.

663
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: So apparently the Competition Committee has seen enough of this

664
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: where they're going to try to make it more punitive.

665
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: If you're flagged for tripping, it'll be a personal foul

666
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty. It's currently ten yards. Is that enough

667
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: to act as a turn It might be. I think

668
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: that one just make I think that one will get past. Yeah,

669
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's usually looking penalty it is. How

670
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: about making it an automatic first down or you're like

671
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: a five yard or something, it's an automatic first down?

672
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: Or do you want to make it? Well, if it's

673
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard penalty, more often than not it is

674
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: going to be a first down. Now, but it's not automatic.

675
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: Well yeah, if it's third and eighteen, no it won't be.

676
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: A competition committee, how about and think about it too.

677
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: If it's not an automatic first down, you get a

678
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen on site kick replacement, you get a

679
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: it's not you don't get to keep the ball, you

680
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: know what I mean. If it's not an automatic first down.

681
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: That's something to think about because if you could draw

682
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: a pell because you're saying the fourth and twenty now, yeah,

683
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: if you can get somebody to goad them into a

684
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: penalty and it's an automatic first down, yeah, Okay, this

685
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: one really caught my eye. Steve, competition committee talking about

686
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: putting the ball in play at the receiving team's twenty

687
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: five yard line when a touchback occurs on a punt.

688
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: That is currently the case for a touchback on a kickoff,

689
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: but a touchback on a punt it still goes to

690
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: the twenty they want to move to the twenty five

691
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: as well, once again promoting offense number one. But I'm

692
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: all for making that uniform. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, there's

693
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: no reason for it to be different. Now here's the

694
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: question that I posed to you about this very rule.

695
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: Do you think if your team doesn't have a great

696
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: placement punter, that you're more apt to go for it

697
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: more on fourth down to avoid giving him the extra

698
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: five yards on a touchback punt? No, you expect you

699
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: not enough of You expect your punter to be able

700
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: to do it and your coverage team. Yeah. Yeah, there

701
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: are too many ways to down at inside the ten

702
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah. No, this one I don't like. I'm

703
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: I'm perplexed, and maybe you can help me with this one.

704
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm perplexed as to why the competition Committee's trying to

705
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: put this one through. To put the ball in play

706
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: at the receiving team's twenty five yard line if there

707
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: is a faircatch on a free kick behind the receiving

708
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: teams twenty five yard line, so they field it inside

709
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: their own twenty five fair catch it, they move it

710
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: out to the twenty five automatically. It's college rule, right,

711
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: do you kn't catch a kickoff and fair catch it

712
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: it comes out to the twenty whatever it is, but

713
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. Why would you do that? Yeah,

714
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: I don't because many times a free kick is more

715
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: of a distance kick, not a hanging kick. So if

716
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: you're inside your own twenty five, like you're at the fifteen,

717
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: just let it bounce. It's probably going to the end

718
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: zone anyway. Yeah. See that. To me, I'm perplexed by

719
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: that because you can't it's well, a free kick is

720
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: not a punt. I don't know what they mean by

721
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: free kick. Is it a kickoff like on a kickoff

722
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: or on a safe safety Yeah, you're not gonna if

723
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: there is a fair catch on a free kick parentheses

724
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: kickoff and safety kick behind the receiving team's twenty five

725
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: yard line, they will get it at the twenty five

726
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: automatic trying to take an extra return out of the

727
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: game for safety. It's the only thing I could put

728
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: my kick. You're punting it from your twenty twenty. You're

729
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: not getting it to inside their twenty yard Yeah really,

730
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's a sixty five yard punt. Sixty sixty

731
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: five yard punch just to get to the twenty I

732
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: don't know that whatever. It seems frivolous to me, Yes, right,

733
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: I was. I was What egregious thing happened to some

734
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: team that gave them scar tissue enough to want a

735
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: rule change? I don't know, but those are that's got

736
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: to be an analytics thing. Maybe it's a competition committee

737
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: bringing that one. Right, they'll save us three minutes a

738
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: game if we do that just by giving it to

739
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: him at the twenty five something. How often is it

740
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: even gonna come up? I mean, you don't have what

741
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: do you have? Three four safeties a season? Tops like five? Maybe?

742
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know that one really threw me. I

743
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: didn't know the impetus for that at all. We have

744
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but we'll crack open the

Speaker 1: the Obil Friday fan mailbag, Steve, and we begin with Ed,

760
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: who asks us of the remaining Bills free agents, who

761
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: gets resigned? Do you believe? So? I will tell you

762
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: the remaining Bills free agents, Steve, so you can tell

763
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: me who you think is possibly a candidate for resigning.

764
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: Roger Staffold, probably not after two guards have been resigned

765
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: in free agency. Jordan Phillips, I think there's a strong

766
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: likelihood that happens. Taiwan Jones, maybe, Greg Van Roten, probably not.

767
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson. Hard to say. Think that would be a

768
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: post draft signing if it was going to happen, like

769
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: maybe they don't get another pass Russia in the draft.

770
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: Ja Kumro, I'd say probably not. Trent Sherfield pretty much

771
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: addresses his skill set Dean Marlowe, Bobby Hart, A J.

772
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: Klein and offensive lineman Justin Murray. Let you think I

773
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: think the most likely in that scenario, I've got two.

774
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, I think they'd love to have him back,

775
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: and I think the other one I'll go against the green.

776
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: I'll say Jake Kumero gets resigned. Really yeah, he's They'll

777
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: bring in some competition. He's not going to bust the bank.

778
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: He knows the system. He has played meaningful snaps for

779
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: the club and lost last season because of a high ankle.

780
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips same thing, lost most of the last seed.

781
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: He came back and played in a heroic effort to

782
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: finish the season with one arm. And I think the

783
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: club appreciates that, like the way he plays, and if

784
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: he wants to sign a one year deal, they'd love

785
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: to have him back. I think I think those two

786
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: guys are the most badly. The only other guys I

787
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: would throw in the mix. And again, these would be

788
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: These would be post draft signings. Like if they don't

789
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: get a linebacker that they wanted of proper value in

790
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: the draft, I could see them bringing back a J.

791
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: Klein for another year. If they don't get, you know,

792
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: a pass rusher in the pipeline that maybe they wanted

793
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: to get later in the draft. Maybe Shaq Lawson's back

794
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: for another year. Those are guys that I could see

795
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: in Marlow I would throw in that mix too, you know,

796
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: guys that should still be available in early May, you know,

797
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: barring some unforeseen circumstance. Let's go to our next question

798
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: in the fan mail bag from Jess. How realistic is

799
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: it that the Bills get DeAndre Hopkins? Is there a

800
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: real chance or is it a pipe drink? Well, he's

801
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna get traded. Probably. I think he's gonna get traded,

802
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: So there there is a real chance, ants I mean,

803
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's a it's just below

804
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: a pipe dream. I mean, it's almost too good to

805
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: be true. Certainly, I think the Bills could probably swing it,

806
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: but I don't know that the other teams that are

807
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: involved in the interest in DeAndre Hopkins aren't in better

808
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: position than the Bills, and how high the Bill's desire

809
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: will let them bid. That's the question is, Yes, I

810
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: think there's a real chance, but I don't know that

811
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: it's likely. That's about as good as I can say

812
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: certain Bills are kicking the tires and seeing if they

813
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: could work something out, and then they have to weigh

814
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: what it would take to work it out and whether

815
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: it's working. Yeah. I mean, as as we've heard Brandon

816
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: being say many, many, many times, if there is a

817
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: top flight talent out there in the market that is

818
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: suddenly available, they will look into it. And just as

819
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: we saw last year, they weren't expecting to augment their

820
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: pass rush to the to the degree that they could

821
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: with a talent like von Miller, but he was available,

822
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: they investigated, they looked into it, and they made a deal. Happen.

823
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: This player is of similar quality in caliber, So, knowing

824
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo's history under Brandon Bean, I would imagine they're looking

825
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: into it to see how realistic it would be for

826
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: them in terms of money, compensation, etc. I think there's

827
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: a handful of other teams doing the exact same thing,

828
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: maybe more than a handful. So for us to handicap

829
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: it and say yes, there is a real chance, I

830
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know if we're leading you on with that or not.

831
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: Because it's not only about what the Bills can offer

832
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: and what the Bills can fit under their cap it's

833
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: what all those other teams are offering as well, and

834
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: we have no knowledge of any of that. So to

835
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: say there's a real chance or there isn't And I

836
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: think it is a little foolhardy for us to try

837
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: to assess. Because of other trades that have happened, most

838
00:48:54,200 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: notably Brandon Cook's going to Dallas, that market may affect

839
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: Arizona's desire to trade him in a way that we

840
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: can't see. You know, they may be less likely to

841
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: do it, or more likely to do it. We don't know.

842
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: Um I think would probably be less likely because Brandon

843
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 1: Cooks went for not too much and he's a good player.

844
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 1: A sixth So if they're looking, if they were looking

845
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: to get a number one a first round draft pick

846
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: for DeAndre Hopkins, that obviously is not going to happen,

847
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: and they might be saying, well, you know what is it?

848
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: And then then they will they'll make a decision then,

849
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: So we don't know how likely it is, just because

850
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: we don't know what Arizona's asking. Well, the word out

851
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: was they wanted at least to two for DeAndre Hopkins.

852
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: They're obviously looking to rebuild their roster. They want draft capital.

853
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: How much do they want players? I think it would

854
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: have to be a younger player for them to be interested.

855
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: Somebody with a with an you know, more of their

856
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: career in front of them, but then behind them. That's

857
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: half the reason they're getting rid of Hopkins supposedly. So

858
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: we don't know what would tickle their fancy, so to speak,

859
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: to get him to do a deal, and not knowing

860
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: what other teams are offering, it's very hard for us

861
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: to handicap the Bill's chances of landing. We'll answer more

862
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: of these fanmail bad questions a little bit later on

863
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: the show, because coming up to start our second hour

864
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: now through the draft, he's back. The senior producer from

865
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: NFL Films and co host of ESPN's NFL Matchup show,

Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned The One Bill's

869
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: Live presented by Called Light a Health. All right, ere,

870
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: we are our number two on a Friday. Please to

871
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: be joined once again by a guy we just saw

872
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: at the NFL Combine a few weeks ago. But he's

873
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna be here with us on Friday's through the Draft, Steve,

874
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: he's just one. Greg co Sell joining US senior producer

875
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: from NFL Films and co host of ESPN's NFL Matchup show,

876
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: and he's wearing his Bills sweatshirt today. He's fired up, Steve, Greg,

877
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: how are we doing? I'm doing great? You know, I figured,

878
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, there was a week or two off. I'm

879
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: back now, you know. I had to. I had to

880
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: wear the proper retire. Yeah. I like it. I like it.

881
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: UM free agency has been interesting Greg, to say the least.

882
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: I think it's it and Steve and I have talked

883
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: about this on the show. I think it's taken on

884
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: a different I don't want to say maybe approach, but

885
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: I think a lot of gms have come around to

886
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: adopting the one year contract philosophy, maybe more than we

887
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: have ever seen before. I think part of it's due

888
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: to the fact that you have teams that are cramped

889
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: for cap space after the cap went down during the

890
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: COVID year. They're trying to recover and balance their books

891
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: from that. UM. But it's very interesting that the number

892
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: of one year contracts seems far greater than we have

893
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: ever seen before. Yeah, I've noticed that as well, and

894
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: it is really interesting because normally you get longer contracts. Um. Obviously,

895
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen the nflpa's not very happy about it,

896
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 1: but you know that's the way it is, and guys

897
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: seem to be holding out for more but they're not

898
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: getting it. Um. It'll be interesting to see if that's

899
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: kind of the way of the future. Now, the Bills

900
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a trend. They signed Connor McDermott

901
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:54,959
Speaker 1: off of the Cowboys, McConn McDermott, Connor McGovern off the Cowboys,

902
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: and they also followed it up with David Edwards off

903
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: the Rams. Going into your line, we knew that they

904
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: had some contracts that expired. Tell us a little bit,

905
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: We'll tell us what your objective opinion is about these guys. Yeah,

906
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, I haven't studied those guys in

907
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: hardcore detail, but I think we talked all throughout the

908
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: season that they needed, you know, to upgrade the old

909
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: line and whether that meant guys who were there playing

910
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: better or getting some different players for competition. Obviously, they

911
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: knew that. So they went out and they got Connor

912
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: mc governed, they got David Edwards. David Edwards was a

913
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin kid, if I remember, and they usually put out

914
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: pretty good alignment. He's been around the league a little bit.

915
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: He started, he started, I think, some meaningful games for

916
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: the Rams. So it'll be interesting, you know, one of

917
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: those guys is probably going to start, if not both,

918
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, barring anything unforeseen. Who knows how the draft's

919
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: going to play out, of course, but they definitely needed

920
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: to address the offensive line, and you know, I think

921
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: that's it's a start. You know. Now we'll see what

922
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: happens with the draft, because you know, I think that

923
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 1: was a position that we all felt that that needed

924
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: to be, you know, addressed this offseason. And then you know,

925
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: they signed two lineman. They also signed two receivers, and

926
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Hardy signing, the kid from New Orleans,

927
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of a he's kind of a mackenzie replacement.

928
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: And so, not surprisingly, McKenzie is released a week after

929
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: they signed Hardy. Would you say there is any part

930
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: of hardy skill set that is different to that of McKenzie.

931
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: Is there anything extra he might he might bring to

932
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: the buildings some offense, Yeah, Hardy I am familiar with.

933
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: I would say he's he's probably a little more vertical

934
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: than McKenzie. I mean, no, McKenzie has good speed, but

935
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: Hardy can really get over the top and he's really

936
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: really good run after catch. But he's really a vertical guy.

937
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: I mean, he had some plays with the Saints where

938
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: he just ran by the coverage, just got on top

939
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 1: of it in a heartbeat. He is that kind of guy.

940
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember he caught a touchdown I think

941
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: it was probably last year, not this year from Jameis

942
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: Winston where he just ran by everybody, and you see

943
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: right now what we're looking at. I think he's better

944
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: run after catch than mackenzie. So so even though he

945
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: may be asked to feel a similar role, I think

946
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 1: he's better at that role and gives you a little

947
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: more juice, you know, you talk about as well. One

948
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: of the surprises for the Buffalo Bills in free agency

949
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: was their ability to resign Jordan Poyer. Nobody thought, yeah,

950
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: nobody thought that was going to happen at the beginning

951
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 1: of free agency, but the safety market was a little

952
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 1: bit flushed with talent. Poyers, you know, thirty two and

953
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: missed missed five games with injury, so it came to

954
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: the factor he was kind of sitting there and the

955
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: Bills wanted him and he wanted to play, So here

956
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, and I think that's a really really

957
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: good move because he's a really good player, obviously knows

958
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: the defense, and you know, I think that we all

959
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 1: thought that, you know, he'd be gone. He even talked

960
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: about being gone really as I remember for some public statements.

961
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: But he's a really good player and I think that

962
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: it's it's really important that he's back. I'm sure there's

963
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback element to him as well, being on the

964
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: back end, so he gets people lined up, he does

965
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: all those things that you need from a back end

966
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: player in addition to being a good physical player as well.

967
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: So that was a really really important signing. You know,

968
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: it's funny you mentioned Hardy at receiver. I actually think

969
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: sherefields are really important signing too, by the way, Yeah,

970
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: because I mean he finally got a chance to show

971
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: his wears on offense last year in Miami, which he

972
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: really didn't have much of an opportunity in Arizona or

973
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco prior to that, and I thought he showed

974
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: some interesting capabilities in the receiving game, whether it was contested, catches,

975
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: run after catch, and I think he's a little bigger

976
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: than some people might realize at six one almost two twenty.

977
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 1: I think that he's gives the Bills something that they

978
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have. I mean, you can certainly say Diggs

979
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: is that kind of receiver because he's pretty complete, but

980
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: Sherefield is a very good short intermediate receiver with size,

981
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: ball skills, catches the ball, you know, I think he

982
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: gives you I hate to be cachet and say the

983
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: possession receiver, but in some ways that's what he is.

984
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure they truly had that guy Brownie.

985
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, Diggs, you'd probably say is complete,

986
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: but you know, he's also your number one, so he's

987
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: not quote unquote a possession receiver. I think Shrefield gives

988
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: them that. And like you said, he's got pretty good

989
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: size and we just saw on that touchdown that just

990
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: ran that he can run a little bit too. I

991
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: know they really liked him in San Francisco, and obviously

992
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: he did well in Miami this past year as the

993
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: third receiver. I thought that was a really good signing

994
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: for Buffalo. What about this this talk we hear about

995
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: a guy being available like DeAndre Hopkins. It looks like

996
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: Arizona is gonna move on from his contract. They're looking

997
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: for maybe from takers. Certainly, you know he was injured

998
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: last year. What can you tell us about what he

999
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: has left in the tank at a guy who's gonna

1000
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: be I think thirty one during this summer. So he's

1001
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: not completely over the hill, but certainly it's now stays

1002
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: maybe behind him. When he played, he still was really productive. Steve.

1003
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, don't forget he's not a burner. You know,

1004
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh he lost his step, he can't play.

1005
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, his game is built on physicality, just an

1006
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: innate feel to separate at the you know, at the

1007
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: moment of truth. You know, he's not one of those

1008
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: guys that runs away from people. He's really good at

1009
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: at finding voids in zone coverage. Obviously we know that

1010
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: his best trade is he catches the football. I mean

1011
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: in some ways. And you'll remember this player really well

1012
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: in some ways, wouldn't you say It's kind of like

1013
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: a Chris Carter, you know, who wasn't necessarily a burner,

1014
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: but caught everything and just had a knack for creating

1015
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: just enough separation to catch the football. You wouldn't say

1016
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: he's a great separator, you know, and that's that he's

1017
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: got great short area quickness. But he's a little deceptive

1018
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: in that regard. So Hopkins, you know, I look if

1019
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo were to have the opportunity to get him, and

1020
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: I think one reason he hasn't been moved yet is

1021
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: because Arizona is probably holding out for what they think

1022
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: they deserve it, but they're not going to get that.

1023
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,919
Speaker 1: So eventually they're gonna move him, and it's probably gonna

1024
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: be for a fourth round type pick, and that's probably

1025
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: worth it for a lot of teams, probably including the Bills. Yeah,

1026
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: I've made the comment that you get Digs and Hopkins

1027
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: on the same team. Digs as a guy who seems

1028
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: to always be open. Hopkins is open when he's not open, correct,

1029
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: And that's and you also have a quarterback that has

1030
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: no problem turning it loose. So you know, some quarterbacks

1031
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: are a little leery and turning it loose when you

1032
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: know they feel like the receiver main not be open.

1033
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: That is clearly not an issue with Josh Allen. Speaking

1034
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: of guys who can't turn or loose. What is your

1035
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: take on the situation in Baltimore with lamar Ah, Well,

1036
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny you go to the combine, you

1037
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of conversations and you'll learn some things

1038
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: that you know, you really unfortunately you can't really talk

1039
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: about publicly. But I think there's a lot more to

1040
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: that story and to the situation. I don't want to

1041
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: make it a story like you know, it's a guy's life,

1042
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: but there's a lot more to that situation than it's

1043
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: publicly out there. And I think from what I learned,

1044
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: there's probably reasons why he may not be in high

1045
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: demand right now. Obviously he'll get worked out at some point.

1046
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: He's not going to get a fully guaranteed contract more

1047
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: than Deshaun Watson. That's not going to happen. I think

1048
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: he's starting to realize that. So we'll see what happens.

1049
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: You know, it sounds like from what you read and

1050
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: that's all we can all do. That in his mind,

1051
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: he's done with the Ravens. But you know, then you

1052
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: need to taker. Then you need somebody to trade for him,

1053
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: right because he's under contract. He's not a free agent,

1054
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: right franchise. UM look at looking at the rest of

1055
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the AFC East, Greg, I want to just run down

1056
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: some of the acquisitions John Dolphins, and you tell me

1057
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: who you think is the best ad for Miami in

1058
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: terms of helping their roster. Okay, so I'm not gonna

1059
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: hit everybody, but I'm gonna hit most of them here.

1060
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Braxton Barrios, Dan Feeney, Deshaun Elliott, David Long

1061
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: and then they they got Freddie swam off waivers from Seattle.

1062
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Which which which of those players do you think helps

1063
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: elevate them the most? Who is the first name you mentioned?

1064
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Ramsey really helps um? You know, every team in the

1065
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: league would have loved to have two corners that can

1066
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: line up and play man coverage. And Ramsey is probably

1067
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: frothing at the mouth right now because he didn't play

1068
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of man coverage with the Rams. That's just

1069
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: not the way they chose to play. When he was

1070
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville, he played a lot of man coverage and

1071
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: he wants to play man on the outside. And now

1072
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: they have two corners that can do that, and that

1073
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: gives you so many more options on the defensive side

1074
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: of the ball. I also think David Long is a

1075
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: really good player. He was with Tennessee last year he

1076
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: became a player that played literally until he got hurt,

1077
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: and it was the year before as well, who was

1078
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: literally playing every snap. So he's a really good players.

1079
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: He's better than a Landon Roberts, whose role he'll essentially take,

1080
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: So that's an upgrade there as well. So those two players,

1081
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, immediately jumped out to me. Obviously Ramsey's the

1082
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: bigger name, but that really gives them a ton of

1083
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 1: defensive flexibility. Do you feel like Fangio is probably gonna

1084
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: lean more man coverage with Ramsey and Howard on the outside.

1085
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: I think Fangio probably plays Brownie more man than people

1086
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: might think. But even in quarters, there's a lot of

1087
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: match prince Bulls that they play. You know, it's that

1088
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: whole match carry deliver concept and they get to that

1089
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: in multiple ways, and quarters at its core is just

1090
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: kind of a zone match deal. It's it's ultimately you're

1091
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: playing a lot of man even when you play quarters.

1092
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: So you know I think that, Uh, look, Vic Fango

1093
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 1: has been doing this a long time. Every coach wants

1094
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: good players. Jalen Ramsey is a good player, you know,

1095
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: arguably better than good and uh, you know, I think

1096
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: now he's probably rejuvenated with the with the fact that

1097
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: he's going to play on the outside opposite another good

1098
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: quarter in Xavien Howard. So you know, I think that

1099
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll work out well there. That's gonna be

1100
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: a tough defense to play against. I know there's been

1101
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred guys around the league who have signed.

1102
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: But off the top of your head, can you think

1103
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: of any signings by teams that you were scratching your

1104
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: head over, like what is this? You know it doesn't fit,

1105
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: or you didn't see the you know there was no

1106
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: value there, or they let one guy go and signed

1107
01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: a guy who wasn't as good for more money. I've

1108
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: heard of uple of those transactions as well. Any of

1109
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: those come to mind. Yeah, I'm trying to think. So

1110
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: many guys have signed, right, yeah, you have anybody in particular?

1111
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's no one who just immediately

1112
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: pops into my head because so many guys have signed.

1113
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Give us an idea, what you thought about Tremaine Edmonds

1114
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: going to Chicago? They signed him, and right before they

1115
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: signed Tremaine, they signed also another linebacker and I can't

1116
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: remember his name right off the top of Edwards. Yeah,

1117
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: I tell you that's really interesting to me both signings,

1118
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people would say that

1119
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: inside stacked linebackers is not where you want to spend

1120
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: a lot of your money in today's NFL. So that

1121
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: struck me as interesting. Now, they didn't give t g

1122
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Edwards a lot of money. They did gave they did

1123
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: give Tremaine Edwards a lot of money. Edmund's a lot

1124
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: of money, but you know, it was kind of just

1125
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: surprising that that was kind of a defensive focus for them.

1126
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: But we'll see. I mean, that's the way they chose

1127
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: to go. You know Edmunds. Look, you guys know him well.

1128
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: You know he's a good player. He's a really solid player.

1129
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: There's not many guys his size and length who play

1130
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: inside linebacker in this league. So that's a plus right there.

1131
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: Edwards had a really nice year in Philly playing behind

1132
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: a really really good d line. But they obviously allocated

1133
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: a good amount of resources to the inside linebacker position,

1134
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people, like I said,

1135
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: would say that's not where you want to be allocating

1136
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: a lot of your resources taking a look at the

1137
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: rest of the AFC East, Greg, So the Jets add

1138
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard and mcole Hardman. They trade away Elijah Moore,

1139
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: who for whatever reason never seemed to get the ball

1140
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: in that offense, and they get a second They get

1141
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: a second round pickback for you, and that that was

1142
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: a coup as far as I'm concerned. So, yeah, I agree.

1143
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: What do you make of the additions to the Jets

1144
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: passing game? I mean, I know Aaron Rodgers isn't there

1145
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: yet the general assumptions he eventually will be. But what

1146
01:05:55,520 --> 01:06:01,439
Speaker 1: do Lazard and Hardman do to diversify that passing game. Well,

1147
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: I think in their mind Hardman was an important get

1148
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: because they wanted a vertical dimension. He's not a volume

1149
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: target brown he they know that. But I think with Wilson,

1150
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: who was going to be their volume target, and certainly

1151
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: with Lazard, who was kind of a secondary volume target,

1152
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: but Wilson is the main guy, Garrett Wilson, they wanted

1153
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: a vertical dimension because of the impact it has on

1154
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: how defenses play. And so even though Hardman is not

1155
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: going to catch seventy balls for twelve hundred yards, he

1156
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: is a guy who can run. And obviously that didn't

1157
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: play out last year in Kansas City. He was hurt,

1158
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: he missed some time. You know, he just didn't have

1159
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: that kind of season. But he can certainly run. So

1160
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I think that was an important move for them. They

1161
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: wanted that kind of player. As I said a Lazard,

1162
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of a secondary volume guy. You know, we

1163
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: all assume they'll get Rogers. We'll see how that plays out.

1164
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of talk about who

1165
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: has more or less leverage in this deal. I know

1166
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: Joe Banner, who I know, believes that the Packers are

1167
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: their team, that they're a little bit more in trouble here,

1168
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: that they have to get something done and eventually they're

1169
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna end up taking less because they're the team that's

1170
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: that's on the hook for an awful lot of money,

1171
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: not the Jets. Yeah, how do you think that changes

1172
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: everything for the Jets? If is Roger's going to transform

1173
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: that franchise if he gets picked up by them when

1174
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: he goes to the Jets, as we all think he will,

1175
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Is he really transformational at this point? I mean he

1176
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: can still Steve throw the ball really really well. I

1177
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: mean you're talking about a guy that it may be

1178
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,959
Speaker 1: the best thrower we've ever seen, and well, I don't

1179
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: think he moves quite as well as he has in

1180
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: the past, just a function of getting older. Um, you know,

1181
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: I think if he's well protected with weapons, you know,

1182
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: they've they've added weapons. You know, I think if you

1183
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: protect him, he can still throw the football really really well.

1184
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: So and they're going to get Bruce hallback, so you know,

1185
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: I think that they will have a very good offense.

1186
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Transformation is one of those words it's generational when they

1187
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: talk about quarterbacks coming out of college. You know, he's

1188
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: clearly still a pretty darn good quarterback and you know, so, yes,

1189
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: he would make the Jets significantly better because the Jets actually,

1190
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: as you guys know, the Jets have a pretty good

1191
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 1: football team. They just had really spotty quarterback play. A

1192
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: year ago. It was, you know, and I'm probably being

1193
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: kind saying it that way, they really didn't have a

1194
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: quarterback that could line up and play on a week

1195
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: to week basis. So if they get Rogers, you know,

1196
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: he's going to line up and play every week. That's

1197
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: what he does, and he still throws it exceptionally well. Yeah,

1198
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: saying the Jets had spotty quarterback plays, a little bit

1199
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: like saying the Titanic had a scratch. Yeahah, well, you know,

1200
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: I was trying to be kind. Let's finish up the division.

1201
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: Last one for me, Greg, just your thoughts on New

1202
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: England's editions of Mike Gisicki and Juju Smith Schuster, two

1203
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: players that would seem to fit in terms of helping

1204
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Mac Jones. Would you agree with that? Yes?

1205
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: And I think that maybe the bigger get is Bill

1206
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: O'Brien because I think now they will have an NFL

1207
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: offense and you know, I think Mac Jones we kind

1208
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: of know what he is. I don't think there's a

1209
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,440
Speaker 1: mystery to him. He's a ball distributor. He's an efficient executor.

1210
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: That's what he is. You need weapons, and you need

1211
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: an offense that's well schemed and well designed, and we

1212
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: know Bill O'Brien can do that. In the National Football League,

1213
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a lot of two tight end

1214
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: sets because Gaseki is essentially not really a tight end.

1215
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: He's really a detached player. He's straight line linear, but

1216
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: he's got vertical seam ability. So I think that that

1217
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: really helps them and Juju Smith Schuster, you know, at

1218
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: his best, assuming health, is a physical receiver who works

1219
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 1: really well between the numbers. Again where mac Jones throws

1220
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: the ball really well. So I think in their mind

1221
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: they really help themselves. By the way, speaking of which,

1222
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: you know Damian Harris, I thought it was a really

1223
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: good signing by the Bills. Also, right, what do you

1224
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: like about Harris the most? I mean, he's a little

1225
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: bit bigger back. Well, you know, I've always thought he

1226
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: was a really good runner. The issue for him has

1227
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: been durability. You know, he was a big time He

1228
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: was the number one running back coming out of high school.

1229
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 1: When he went to Alabama. He was good at Alabama.

1230
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: Like most Alabama backs with few exceptions, he did not

1231
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: have a ton of carries. I think he's physical. You know,

1232
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: he's about two hundred and twenty pounds. He's physical. I

1233
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: think he's got some juice. I think he's got some

1234
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: shiftiness to him. It's just that he's hurt a lot.

1235
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: So hopefully that's not the case. But you know, it

1236
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: speaks to the fact that they they wanted a back

1237
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: in their mind that they weren't going to resign Singletary.

1238
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: You know, who went all said and done, was you know,

1239
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: a nice back the way they chose to play before,

1240
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: but not a high level back, and they're getting a

1241
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:52,759
Speaker 1: back that in theory, if healthy, canon given games, carry

1242
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: the ball eighteen or twenty times, and I think they realize,

1243
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: I would assume they realize that there are games where

1244
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: they need to do that. You know, if they get

1245
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: a lead in the late third quarter, fourth quarter, you

1246
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: need to run the football a little bit. And we

1247
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: saw this year that that didn't happen in certain games.

1248
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 1: And some of those games they still ended up winning,

1249
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: but it got a little tight when you'd love to

1250
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: be able to line up, run the ball, eat some clock,

1251
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: get a few first downs, and Harris is that kind

1252
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: of back? Greg? Thanks as always. We'll catch up with

1253
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: you next week. Appreciate you running down the free agency

1254
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: tally here in the division. Thanks very much. Have a

1255
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: great weekend, all right, you two guys. Thanks? Thanks all right,

1256
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: that's great. Co Sales, senior producer of NFL Films and

1257
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: also co host of ESPN's NFL Matchup show, joining us here.

1258
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad he likes the Bills pickups. That's good. I'm

1259
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: encouraged by that. Yeah, but I look at Kasiki and

1260
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, two guys who work between the numbers,

1261
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, those are actually two pretty astute

1262
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: signings for the Patriots, because, as you heard Greg say,

1263
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: that is where mac Jones does his best work. He

1264
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: is at his most efficient throwing between the numbers, and

1265
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: that's where those two players thrive the passing game. They

1266
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 1: continue to think and act like Mac Jones is their

1267
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: quarterback for as long as he can stand back there

1268
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 1: and throw it. They are not looking to replace that guy.

1269
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: He's only enter in year three here, right, I mean,

1270
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: he's very young, and he's got they've got him unaffordable.

1271
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: They've got a rookie quarterback on his rookie contract, rookie

1272
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: contract on this quarterback, so they're going to hang in

1273
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: there with him. All. I'm a little surprised by that,

1274
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: especially if Rogers lands in the division gets tougher. Yeah, right,

1275
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: it does. But you know, and they lost Jacobe Meyers

1276
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: to the Raiders, so I don't know. Nelson agils gone too,

1277
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: and Agilare has gone too, so I don't know Smith,

1278
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: Schuster and Myers. That's kind of a wash maybe in

1279
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: terms of production. The last couple of years, and Gisiki

1280
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: obviously gives them an extra dimension down the seam. As

1281
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,719
Speaker 1: Greg had mentioned, Yeah, he's and him and Hunter Henry

1282
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: could be a nice red zone combination down there from

1283
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: Mac as well. I mean Henry's six five, Kisiki six six,

1284
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: two big targets. We know, you know, all the way

1285
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: back to the days that Gronk and Hernandez what they

1286
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: do in two tight end sets. And now Bill O'Brien

1287
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: is back there might be able to scheme up some

1288
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: interesting stuff. Gisicki and Hunter Henry are not Gronk, they

1289
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: are not they are not, but size wise, it's a

1290
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: similar type of size package there that you can work

1291
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: in the red zone to some degree. I would think

1292
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: you can bet that whatever those guys do well, just

1293
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: like Mac Jones does some things well, that's what the

1294
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna do. That's what they're gonna ask those

1295
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: guys to do. They they get try and get versatile

1296
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: guys who can do a lot of things. Even if

1297
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 1: they're not great athletically, at least they've got a skill

1298
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: set and they fit the offense around those guys that's

1299
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: they're good at that. That's how they're relevant, and I

1300
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: think they hope to diversify the offense as a result.

1301
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: We take a break here. When we come back back

1302
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: into the obl Fan Friday mail Bag, we go. But

1303
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: if you have any questions you want to ask here

1304
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: on this Friday, you can dial us up at eight

1305
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two

1306
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 1: five fifty question on the Bills free agency Draft League

1307
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,200

Speaker 1: calls and read your tweets. Next here on one Bills Live,

1310
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: presented by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right.

1311
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Time to crack open the fan Friday Mailbag and we

1312
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: go to say when who asks? Since the Bills have

1313
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: signed two free agent guards, what's the possibility they look

1314
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: at d line or linebacker in round one? I still

1315
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: think they should draft a tackle to compete with Spencer Brown.

1316
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Steve, but I think by

1317
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: drafting two guards you may have enhanced the chances of

1318
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: them taking a tackle instead of a guard. When you

1319
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: think of that, yeah, yes, that makes more sense. I

1320
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: don't I'm not going to say any position at round one.

1321
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I think there's it depends on who's available in round.

1322
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: Whether he's a defensive lineman, defensive tackle, offensive tackle, running back,

1323
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Whoever the best guy is on the board

1324
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: is where they're going to take it. And whether it's

1325
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: a d end or a corner, even that's who it's

1326
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: going to be. Yeah, I don't think it enhances the

1327
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: chances that they go defensive front seven just because they've

1328
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: signed two guards in free agency. I mean, between now

1329
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: and the time we get to the draft, who knows.

1330
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: The Bills may sign a veteran linebacker and a veteran

1331
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, and maybe they resigned Jordan Phillips, you know,

1332
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: or something like Wagner's still out there, you know, so

1333
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 1: guys like that, So something like that happens. Does that

1334
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: mean they're not going to take a defensive player or not.

1335
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: I think what it does mean is they are closer

1336
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: to being able to take the best player right no

1337
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: matter where he plays. So if one of these really

1338
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: good prospects drops and he's in a position where they

1339
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: already have some strengths, they can still take him. That's

1340
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: what it means. More likely than anything. Jake from the

1341
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: obl mailbag asks, what do you think we do to

1342
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 1: address the defensive tackle room? There are so many expiring

1343
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 1: contracts with no youth or rookie deals. Right, You're not wrong.

1344
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,759
Speaker 1: I think they do like day Kwon Jones a lot.

1345
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock me if they resigned him, especially if

1346
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 1: he puts together another season like he did last year.

1347
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,680
Speaker 1: That guy was a horse with a defensive front, and

1348
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: it was noticeably different when he was out and missed

1349
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati playoff game because the Bengals ran all over

1350
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: the Bills. And one of the big reasons why, at

1351
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: least I believe, is because day Kwon Jones was out

1352
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: and Jordan Phillips was playing with one arm. So I

1353
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 1: think you try to resign Jordan Phillips. It's probably just

1354
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: a one year deal, but I think it would behoove

1355
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: the Bills to draft one, get somebody in here on

1356
01:16:56,040 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 1: a rookie deal, four year contract, cheap labor, and develop

1357
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah, so I could definitely see them trying

1358
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,720
Speaker 1: to find a defensive tackle in the draft somewhere. Unfortunately,

1359
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: it's not a great year for dt so and you

1360
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need a starting caliber guy to plug in

1361
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: play now. But if you can find somebody that you

1362
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: think a year from now, with some development, could really

1363
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:30,719
Speaker 1: get some significant reps and you know, help your defense,

1364
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: you probably go that way, right I know. Yeah, people,

1365
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. People that like or in favor of an

1366
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,879
Speaker 1: early pick at defensive line, they like Mozzi Smith from Michigan,

1367
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: who is a kid who is big on measurables, low

1368
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: on production. There's always a risk with those players, as

1369
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: we know. And the additional risk with big time defensive

1370
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: lineman big you know, measurable defensive lineman is there's always

1371
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: a concern about them taking out of gear. We've seen

1372
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: examples of that in the past. Star Latula took it

1373
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: out of gear his last two years here, I mean,

1374
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: let's call let's be honest. Marcel Darius got his second contract,

1375
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: took it out of gear. His career was over two

1376
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: years later. So there's you really got to drill down deep. Yeah,

1377
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: you're on these defensive tackle prospects to make sure they

1378
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: have the right kind of blood beating in their heart

1379
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: where you know what you're going to get out of

1380
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: them every single week for years on end. You're talking

1381
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: about the top of the lists of the guys that

1382
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: are still available. Certainly there were you know, twenty five

1383
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: guys above this or that weren't available that aren't now.

1384
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Starts like with guys like Shelby Harris, Michael Brockers, Quentin Jefferson,

1385
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:53,759
Speaker 1: Al Woods, Chris Wormley, those are a lot of old guys, Lynvall, Joseph,

1386
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins. All these guys, the youngest ones. Quintin Jefferson,

1387
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 1: he's twenty nine, Chris Wormley's twenty nine nine, everybody else's

1388
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: thirty plus. Jonathan Hankins is thirty, Justin ellis thirty two,

1389
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: John Jenkins thirty three, Chris Covington is twenty nine. Nick

1390
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Williams Out with the Giants is thirty three. I mean,

1391
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: you'll see the common denominate or the guys that are

1392
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: available are the guys that are in there early to

1393
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: mid thirties and have played well, they're just young guys

1394
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: who can play don't come available. They're too value. I've

1395
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: told you, they're too rare. They're just too rare, and

1396
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: you can't find him, so you got to draft him.

1397
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: In my mind right which is you know, it's where

1398
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm sitting today, So you know, Jalen Carter is going

1399
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 1: to go in the top ten picks, even with his

1400
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: off the field concerns. Brian Breecy kind of came back

1401
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: and you know, had a good pre draft season after

1402
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: a couple of rough years at Clemson due to injury

1403
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: and the loss of his sister. And then there are others.

1404
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: Mozzi Smith is a load at six three three thirty

1405
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: five out of Michigan, Dyvon Dexter Florida six six three sixteen,

1406
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: Keanu Benton's gotten some play in the pre draft process

1407
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: out of Wisconsin six four three twelve. Then you've got

1408
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: some more undersized players before you get to people like

1409
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: KeAndre Colburn from Texas six two three thirty nine. You know,

1410
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: and when the weight gets up there, then there's other

1411
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: concerns that you have to have. So it's a tricky

1412
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: position to nail. And I'm not I'm not big on

1413
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackles that way, right at three bills, Yeah, they

1414
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: got to be a little bigger than right. I mean,

1415
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: Broderick Martin from UM is a guy I've spoken about

1416
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: six five three thirty seven. That's a guy that's big

1417
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: because he's big. But Hellodiadas aren't growing on trees. That's right,

1418
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: is what we're saying, especially in this year's class. PJ.

1419
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: Mustaffer from Penn State six or three twenty. I mean,

1420
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: you get you get into guys like that. I don't

1421
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: know how athletic these guys are, if they can play,

1422
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: but that those are the kind of traits they're rare,

1423
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: even in this even in a college class coming out,

1424
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:15,440
Speaker 1: all the defensive tackles are at or just below three bills.

1425
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: It's big. I mean for all the rest of us

1426
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: out here. Yeah, that's it's not big when you get

1427
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: inside the tackles in the NFL. Yeah, it's just not.

1428
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Um and Aaron Donalds are hard to find. They're they're rare.

1429
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, those are generational players and he's a he's

1430
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: a three hundred, just under three hundred, right at three

1431
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: hundred guys, so you know that's they're hard to find.

1432
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: That that's why you have to You almost get lucky

1433
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,639
Speaker 1: or you know, pay overpay form and then you run

1434
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: into you overpay form and they take it out of gear. Yep.

1435
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's just hard. It's just so physically demanding

1436
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: down inside. You just guys just shy it as tough

1437
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: and as big and athletic as they are, it's hard

1438
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,759
Speaker 1: to bring it every week. That's why people like Klais

1439
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 1: Campbell are still employed at age thirty six. That's right,

1440
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: because that's one of the few guys that doesn't take

1441
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: it out of year. That's right. But he's also freakishly big.

1442
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: He's six feet eight and athletic, and he bends and all.

1443
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: He hasn't been like used to, but he's still pretty

1444
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: dangn good and he's really good. He can he can

1445
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: do that at half even if he does take it

1446
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: out of year. You can't tell because he's that because

1447
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: he's still getting production. Yeah. I Horst from the mail

1448
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: bag says, reading and hearing so much about it, Oliver,

1449
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 1: what have you guys heard and what are your thoughts?

1450
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: We really haven't heard anything a lot of I think

1451
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: a lot of what we've heard out there is largely

1452
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: conjecture and largely speculative. The reason why is because of

1453
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: his cap figure. You have a team in the Bills

1454
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: that are tied against the cap, and naturally people gravitate

1455
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,639
Speaker 1: to the largest cap figures on the roster, and they say,

1456
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: is this guy expendable and at ten point seven cap

1457
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: figure at all? Oliver, whose performance on a week to

1458
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: week basis probably doesn't fit that price tag. Immediately you

1459
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: begin to speculate is this guy worth the money? And

1460
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 1: if not, would they look to move him to give

1461
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: themselves more cap space, you know, in the free agent

1462
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: market or in preparation for the draft or even in

1463
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: future years. Although he comes off he comes off their

1464
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,839
Speaker 1: books after this year anyway. So that's where it all begins.

1465
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: And then you know, you hear all the Arizona Cardinals

1466
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: are looking to move to Andre Hopkins. Oh would they

1467
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: wanted Oliver? Like we could send him there and they

1468
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,879
Speaker 1: could send you know, And that's how it all gains traction.

1469
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: The legitimacy of any of it, I don't know. Yeah,

1470
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: it's not much, but we're all sitting in the same

1471
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: spot expectation at Oliver came in as a top ten pick.

1472
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: He has played his only played his best, only been

1473
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: noticeable when. They have done a lot to build the

1474
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: team around him. They drafted young defensive ends in the

1475
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: same draft as him, and post his drafty, they've signed

1476
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: Von Miller, they signed a Kuan Jones, Harrison Phillips. They

1477
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: bolstered the guys around him. They put him as an

1478
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: advantageous position as they could. He was one of a

1479
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: number of high draft picks they invested in the defensive line.

1480
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: He has not distinguished himself to the point where you're saying, gosh,

1481
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: we've got to have him. Now. He's making ten point

1482
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: nine million this year and a year when they're up

1483
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: against the cap. And yes, he did have his best

1484
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: year as a pro last year, I'll say that in

1485
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 1: my estimation, but they the hoops they had to jump

1486
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: through to get him in a position to have a

1487
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 1: year like that weren't worth it for the production they got.

1488
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 1: So that leaves them with Okay, you can let Ed

1489
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: play his contract out and see what happened and turn

1490
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: him loose and say bye. Or for those of us

1491
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: who are more business minded and you want to sell

1492
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: high after his best pro year, let other teams talk

1493
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 1: to him or put it out there that he and

1494
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: let it be known that he is a candidate for that. Now, takers, No,

1495
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: Arizona is not going to take Ed Oliver for ten

1496
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,600
Speaker 1: point nine million on their cap and give you DeAndre Hopkins.

1497
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:19,839
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins will give you most of his cap in production,

1498
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe not nineteen million of it with Kyler Murray. But

1499
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: certainly he's a great player. Ed Oliver maybe or maybe not.

1500
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,160
Speaker 1: But you only get him for one year. Yeah, that's

1501
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: you know, Arizona is not going to do that. Now,

1502
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: you can package it up and throw in some picks

1503
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: and some money and give and take and all that.

1504
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: But those two for each other don't make much sense.

1505
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: They gain a little money on the cap, but they

1506
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: lose production on the other. Well, they would probably ask

1507
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: to negotiate with if they're interested in Oliver, they would

1508
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: negotiate to extend, give him a new contract, try to

1509
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: spread some of that money out. The problem is just

1510
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: like the Bills would have to do with the guy

1511
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 1: they're giving up. Right, So we want money whether he

1512
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 1: whether he deserves it or not. Look to me asking

1513
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals to extend at Oliver and having Arizona

1514
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: asked the Bills to extend or rework DeAndre Hopkins deal.

1515
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: None of that happens without anybody finding out about it. Yeah,

1516
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: and that we haven't heard nobody's saying that. I haven't

1517
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: heard Hyde nor hearing. There's nothing going on. So until

1518
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: you start getting word that contracts are being touched, don't

1519
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: believe it, it's going to happen. Break time for us.

1520
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Here we come back with one final segment on one

1521
01:26:39,960 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Stay tuned, all right, go into the phones here.

1522
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: In our final segment on a Friday, we go to

1523
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: Mike in or Yester, what do you guy for us? Mike, Hi, guys,

1524
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: love listening to your show. Thanks. I'm wondering why they

1525
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: don't do all replays upstairs. I mean, the guy on

1526
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,719
Speaker 1: the field has the smallest TV in America to check

1527
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: out the play, not to mention the play that they're

1528
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 1: reviewing could be one that he's involved in. So why

1529
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: don't they put two guys upstairs and do all the

1530
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 1: replacement up there just to increase accuracy? Good question, I don't.

1531
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: I think what the league has always done. One of

1532
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: the things the league likes to do, and it was

1533
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 1: always liked, is to have one guy as the as

1534
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: the head official. That guy has customarily always been the

1535
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: white hat on the field. They don't want to take

1536
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: authority for the game off the field. They want that

1537
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: on the field. They want if a head coach has

1538
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 1: something to say, like for instance, when the Damar hamlin

1539
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 1: in it, the head official is on the field and

1540
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 1: both those head coaches are talking to him and telling

1541
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: him the same thing. It's his call. They don't have

1542
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: to call up to the booth. They don't have to

1543
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 1: ask New York, they don't have to look at a replay.

1544
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: Those two head coaches made the call and that official

1545
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: confirmed it. So they want the game on the field.

1546
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: They don't want the game in New York. They don't

1547
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 1: want the game in like you know in the NHL.

1548
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 1: They don't want the game in Toronto in an isolated booth.

1549
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 1: They want that game on site. Every game has its

1550
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: own authority, and that's that's part of what the NFL

1551
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: likes about its game and wants to keep that way.

1552
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: And I think if you send every play upstairs for replay,

1553
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: you're going to drag the game down too. There is

1554
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: cons there is that in the early going here it

1555
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: has really helped speed the game up and get more

1556
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 1: things right. Um, it has really helped. I don't know

1557
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:59,680
Speaker 1: that going another step is going to help that, particularly

1558
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 1: if you give you say, bring another guy in. No

1559
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: more voices in the headset is a bad thing, not

1560
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: a good thing. I get that about the official. Looking

1561
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: at the thing in the small screen, you can look

1562
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: at that. But right now I think it's working a

1563
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 1: lot better than we thought it would. Yeah, Steve is

1564
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 1: off on Monday, so I'll have Chris Trapasso in here

1565
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: with me for Monday's show. It'll be Chris and Chris. Otherwise,

1566
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: you guys, have a good weekend, enjoy more of that

1567
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: March bandness, and I'll see you on Monday at one
