So there 71 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: is a commercial for a food delivery service that will 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: remain nameless. But at the start of every one of 73 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: their commercials, right, there's a tone of a doorbell. Oh, 74 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: it's not productive in my house when that commercial comes on, 75 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: because my dumb dog goes peeling out for the front door, 76 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: convinced somebody is there, no matter what it sounds like, 77 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: your front door, and my dog she hits the tile 78 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: floor in the kitchen and tries to make the turn 79 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: down the front hallway, and she's doing the cartoon. Remember 80 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: what Fred Flints always to do to start the car 81 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: his feet on that. That's what she looks like, trying 82 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: to hold her ground. She knocked my sliding door in 83 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: the hallway. You know where we keep our coats, we 84 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: had sliding doors. She knocked the sliding door completely off 85 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: the track, like just body checked it into the closet. 86 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: She's done that twice in the last two days. Every 87 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: time this day commercial comes on. It got worse last 88 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: night we happen to have family feud on just you know, 89 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: we were channel with the ding ding ding ding dinging 90 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: dings for the fast money at the end are now 91 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: triggering her. That doesn't even sound like a doorbell. It's like, 92 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's not a doorbell, so any bell I'm 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: convinced any bell triggers my dumb dog. It's a problem. 94 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: It's like a genuine problem.

At the end of the season, I 166 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: started a conversation with the Chiefs on a new contract 167 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: extension for Tyreek, and it was really heading in the 168 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: direction of slowly but surely working out a new deal. 169 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: Then the Davante Adams trade got done and Adams got 170 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: a record setting contract to the tune of about twenty 171 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: eight million a year. I immediately reviewed that contract and 172 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: I spoke to the Chiefs and had a very positive 173 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: conversation with them that this should be the market for 174 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: Tyreek as well, and if it wasn't, then the right 175 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: thing to do would be for everyone to benefit, which 176 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: would be for the team to have an unprecedented trade 177 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: and for Tyreek to go to a team that would 178 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: be willing to make him the highest paid receiver. So yeah, 179 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: if you're a Chiefs fan, you can thank the Packers 180 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: and the Raiders for that matter. So your division rival 181 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: screwed you out of Tyreek Hill because you reset the 182 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: market to the point where the Chiefs couldn't go on 183 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: a new deal. And truthfully, if you look at it 184 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: from a top flight production perspective, Steve, you're talking about 185 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: a receiver who is twenty eight, and I think receivers 186 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: can be very productive into their early thirties. I don't 187 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: think there's much question about that. Most of the top 188 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: end ones can. Depends on their long term health. But 189 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, we'll have to see with Hill, and yes, 190 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: it does depend on their long term health. It's a 191 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: lot of money, and they've got other big contracts on 192 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: their roster, you know, Chris Jones. They just did Frank 193 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Clark and extended him out to try to save money 194 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: on the quarterback sign a contract. Yeah, yeah, but it's 195 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: supposedly capped friendly for the most part. I can't remember 196 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: when it kicks in. It gets real twenties for hibotics 197 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, Okay, so there's still some time there. 198 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: So conceivably they could have done him at twenty one 199 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: and three quarter million dollars, which were the numbers and 200 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: the parameters they were talking about prior to the Davantae 201 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: Adams deal getting done. So another reason for Chiefs fans 202 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: to hate the Raiders, not that they need any they 203 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: already hate him, but yeah, that deal, that that deal 204 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: that blew it all out of the water, blew everything up, 205 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and then now Tyreek's blowing it up three years, seventy 206 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: two or seventy five million, seventy five million, seventy two guaranteed, right, 207 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: And so he's still not where Adams is, but he's 208 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: in the top three. It's it's it's Adams's. If he 209 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: sees this contract through, it's bigger. Well, yes, if he 210 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: gets to the end of it. If he gets to 211 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the end of it, which so he'll be thirty two 212 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: in all seriousness from the stuff we've seen from Miami 213 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: the last two or three years with the Brian Flores stuff, 214 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: with him signing those guys releasing him the next year, 215 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: five six of his eight captains gone. Well, you heard 216 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: Shack on our show yesterday, Steve. He's like, you guys 217 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: signed a three year, thirty million dollar deal, but I 218 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: wasn't a fit. He was gonna be an outside like 219 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: he can't play outside linebacker into three four. Who do 220 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: you need to tell you that? Yet they still signed 221 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: him three years, thirty million, and he took it because 222 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: it's life changing money. Oh, I'm not gonna be a 223 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: fit here in the scheme, but I'm going because they're 224 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: gonna pay me, right, absolutely, So you got so we 225 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: got that going on and that's just shacks, just one example. 226 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: There's like five others, right, So, and then they do that, 227 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: and then then Brian Flores really makes chicken salad out 228 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: of chicken poop with their roster. Last year, they win 229 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: eight out of their last nine games coming down the 230 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: stretch playing better with Tuah, and the word has it 231 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: he's not the guy who drafted to He didn't want to, 232 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: He wanted Herbert and he got overruled all of that. 233 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: So he does that and they fire him. They hire 234 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: him Mike, Mike McDaniel. Mike McDaniel comes and I'm not 235 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: laughing at Mike McDaniel. I'm just I can't remember the 236 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: guy's name. Mike McDaniel comes in. So now he's gonna 237 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: work with two. They signed all these guys. Now they 238 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: get Tyreek Hill on this four year one hundred and twenty. 239 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: What are the chances that Tyreek Hill sees the end 240 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: of this? Count all that to say that there's no 241 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: way Tyreek Hill plays four years for the Miami Dolphins. 242 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: What do you There is no way? Two years tops 243 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: and then he's out. They cut him because of problems. 244 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: They cut him because because he's not doing what he 245 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: did for Pat Mahomes, and they're too stupid to realize 246 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: they got twa instead of Pat two years. All right, 247 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: right way, two years. There's no way Tyreek Hill sees 248 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: the end of that four year deal. There is absolutely 249 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: no way. The best case scenario is they redo it 250 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: after two. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are now armed with three 251 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: extra draft choices this year, two more next year, albeit 252 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: on Day three, with a four and a six next year, 253 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: a one, two and a four this year, in addition 254 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: to what they already had, so they can replenish. If 255 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: you're going to replenish at any position in this league, 256 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: isn't wide receiver the easiest, especially if you have a 257 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback? It really is, asn't Chiefs. I think the 258 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs come off really good, and I get Tyreek Hill 259 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: is probably outside the quarterback position. I think he's the 260 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: most dangerous player in the NFL, even above Aaron Donald 261 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: on either side of the ball. Tyreek because of his 262 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: ability to snap off a two yard catch and go, 263 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: and the way and the attitude he brings to the 264 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: defense when he's on the field, he is the most 265 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: dangerous non quarterback in the NFL. There may be other 266 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: guys who are more important, like Mahomes and Pat and 267 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: Josh you know, Aaron Rodgers there, they're you'd much rather 268 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: have them than Tyreek. But outside of that position, he's 269 00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: the guy. And I just I still think even with 270 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs trading him away, they came off really well 271 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: in this He's twenty eight. He's got that one thing 272 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: that is the the you know, the silver bullet for 273 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: every defense. But you're getting five draft picks, and you're 274 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to refurbish, and you've still got 275 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: that catalyst at quarterback that makes everybody better. The Chiefs 276 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: are still really good, and they might get a lot 277 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: better with the twenty six and twenty nine draft picks 278 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: in this draft is it twenty twenty nine thirty twenty nine, 279 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: thirty draft picks in this first round of this year, 280 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: they'll be able to get a couple of wide receivers 281 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: who can go you know what I mean. So they're 282 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: gonna refurbish pretty quickly. Not to mention eighteen million dollars 283 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: in cap space and all the caps, but they got 284 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: seventy five million in cap space well over the over 285 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: the course of the deal. Yeah, So yeah, So I 286 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs draft well and they have a hit. 287 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: Bread Beach has a history of doing pretty well in 288 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: the draft. That's the thing. They got to hit those 289 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: draft picks. And that's always you know, it's a you know, 290 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: it's it's a roll of the dice, no question. But man, 291 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: oh man, the Chiefs are doing ok. I think the 292 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs kind of had to do the right thing here. 293 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the right thing. Elsewhere in the AFC, 294 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: another Texas grand jury is considering a charge against Deshaun Watson, 295 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: a criminal charge. It was previously thought that any remaining 296 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: criminal charges for Deshaun Watson impossible jail time were over, 297 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: but that is not the case because what we originally 298 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: had a little more than a week ago was a 299 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: grand jury in Harris County, Texas rejected nine criminal cases 300 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: against Watson, but a tenth complaint filed with the Houston 301 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: Police Department described an incident that took place in a 302 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: different county, and so because it is in a different county, 303 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: it is going to be heard by a different grand jury. 304 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not going to get into the 305 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: details because quite frankly, they're disgusting. Uh. In terms of 306 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: the allegations as to what happened. Suffice to say, it 307 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: runs pretty parallel to most of the others. But how 308 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: do you think they're feeling in the front office in 309 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland right now? Well, the word had they knew about 310 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 1: this other charge, It was part of the original. It's 311 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: just in another count. They're gonna have to duke what 312 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: they did in Houston again for one charge, not twenty two. 313 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: But it just reminds us how filthy this whole thing 314 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: feels with Deshaun Watson. And you know it's not going away, 315 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: hope hopefully until until those now who was reporting that 316 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: other Uh it was, Yeah, it was on the same 317 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: timeline that the Browns were aware of it. Um, I 318 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: knew it was coming. But it's got but I'll tell 319 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: you Brownie, gosh. Unfortunately, it's like we've all you know, 320 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: you read up on what's going on, Why why he 321 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: was not criminally charged? This is gonna be more of that. 322 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: I think there's just it's gonna be he said, she said, 323 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: And they throw their hands up and s there's no 324 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: way to prove anything. And he's kinda you know, he's 325 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: gonna not to be criminally charged in this one either. 326 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: So because of that, um, you know that the Browns 327 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: were Browns were okay with giving him two hundred and 328 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars guaranteed. Okay. It leaves you speechless, it 329 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: really does. And I know that there are there's wars 330 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: going on, there's a there's a civil war in Africa 331 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: going on, there's a Ukraine and the Russians are fighting, 332 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: and there's some serious business going on. But I'm telling 333 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: you what, it's bad. It just makes you, Yeah, this 334 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: makes you sick to talk about it. And it's just 335 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: that they're you know, they just they're just gonna wave 336 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: it off. Kimberly Martin of ESPN is saying she was 337 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: told the Browns were aware of the second grand jury. 338 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: Watson's attorney, Rusty Harden, says that the complaint was filed 339 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: by one of the women involved in the civil lawsuit cases. 340 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: It's not a new complaint. I think that was pretty 341 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: much understood, but still at all, it's one more possible 342 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: situation where Watson could be criminally charged, which would carry 343 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: jail time if convicted and if it goes to trial. 344 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: So not out of the woods just yet in terms 345 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: of jail time. And then Obviously he's got the twenty 346 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: two civil suits that have to make their way through 347 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: the courts as well, so we shall see what happened 348 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: on the Bills front. There is news as well. Brad Biggs, 349 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears beat reporter for the Chicago Tribune, is reporting 350 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: that Ryan Bates, restricted free agent for the Bills, who 351 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: has been known to be making the rounds making team visits, 352 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: has been has signed an offer sheet with the Chicago Bears, 353 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: and as according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, 354 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: the details of that offer sheet in terms of dollars 355 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: and cents is not yet known. The Bills, because they 356 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: tender to qualifying offer debates, do have the right to 357 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: match the offer sheet. They've got five days to do that, 358 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: and I think the numbers contained within the contract will 359 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: tell us a lot as to whether or not the 360 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: Bills will match. And the reason why is, you know, 361 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: not a ton of room underneath the cap right now. Meanwhile, 362 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: the Bears have kind of cleared a decent amount of 363 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: money off of their roles. Alan Robinson no longer there, 364 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack traded. Those were two of the highest cap 365 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: figures on their roster, so they have room to be 366 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: liberal with what they want to sign Ryan Bates to 367 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: in the form of an offer sheet. So if it's 368 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: anything significant, namely over the two point four million per 369 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: year that the tender offer contained, he's probably going to Chicago. 370 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: I would tend to think, Yeah, I've been reading you know, 371 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: Bill's fans talking about Ryan Bate, Rick Bates about about 372 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, his going to Chicago, and I'm surprised, and 373 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: I get it. He's a great dude, and we picked 374 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: him up on the trade from Philly. He's a backup 375 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: to left guard, right guard, center, right tackle, left tag 376 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: and play all five spots. And the offensive line came 377 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: together when he got in the game in New England 378 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: this past season and they started playing really well. Let 379 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: me just remind you he didn't get on the field 380 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: until two guys got hurt. He was your seventh best 381 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: at best, he was your seventh best guy on your team. 382 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: You got Roger Saffold in the fold. Now, you got 383 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: Roger Saffold on the team now. And Okay, he's a 384 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: good dude. But if if the Bears give him top 385 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: dollar for a guard which they may, if they give 386 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: him top dollar for a guard position, that's just stupid 387 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: on their part. The guy it took two guys getting hurt. 388 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: The line got shuffled all year. He still never got 389 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: on the field. It was always Butcker going on ahead 390 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: of him. I mean, he's a backup to a backup. Now. 391 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: They played good when he got in there, and they 392 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: caught lightning in a bottle. I get it. And you'd 393 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: like to have him because of his flexibility, but he's 394 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: never gonna see the field in a perfect world, he'll 395 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: never see the field. And if you're picking positions that 396 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: are the easiest to replace on an offensive line, guard 397 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 1: is first guard? Is it because arts center? You need 398 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: a certain skill set in there. You need an intelligent player, 399 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: some mobility. I mean, I'm not knocking Ryan Bates played. 400 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: He played well when he was in the lineup this year. 401 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: He wasn't a world beater, but he was steady, and 402 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: sure you got steady quality players. You'd like to keep him, 403 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: but you don't over pay to keep him. I guess 404 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Now. If if, if the Bears 405 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: are offering him what the Bills tendered him at, maybe 406 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: a little more, maybe the Bills find a way to 407 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: keep him because I think he's worth it. I mean, 408 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: they've invested into Ryan Bates, no question about it, and 409 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: he's come and he's played well for him in this 410 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: last year. But you know, I mean, after everything that 411 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: the Bills have done this offseason, if if we're really 412 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: worried about, if if the top thing on our worry list, 413 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: even one of the top worried things we're worried about 414 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: on our list, is losing a backup guard, you're in 415 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: a pretty good spot, I think. And I while I 416 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: like Ryan Bates, he played well for him, I'm okay 417 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: with this. Let him make his money. Yeah, I mean, 418 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: you got on the field, played well, might make some 419 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: money because of it. So you know, we'll have to 420 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: just wait and see where it goes from here over 421 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: the course of the next five days. As if, in fact, 422 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: he has signed an offer sheet, as the Chicago Tribune 423 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: is reporting that the Bills will have five days to 424 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: match the offer if they so choose. There will be 425 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: no compensation coming back to the Bills if they choose 426 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: not to match the offer sheet. And the reason why 427 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: is because the Bills tendered him at the low tender amount. 428 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: And what that means is if you do allow a 429 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: player to sign elsewhere and you don't match the contract offer, 430 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: your compensation coming back to you is a draft pick 431 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: in the form of the round that player was drafted 432 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: in as a rookie. Ryan Bates was an undrafted rookie. 433 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: He was not drafted in any rounds, so there is 434 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: no compensation coming back to the Bills if they choose 435 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: not to match the contract. Bates has made a career 436 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: for himself being a smart, tough guy. He's not physically gifted, 437 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: but he's smart, and he's tough, and he's a good 438 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: communicator as well. The guys on the offensive line said, 439 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: that's what really perked up when he in there on 440 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: the left side between Dion Dawkins and Mitch Morris. At 441 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: least the three of those guys knew exactly what the 442 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: other two were gonna do, and that really helped them 443 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: down the stretch. So they always had a hat on 444 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: a hat and that's what Ryan Bates gave him one 445 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: on one. Not so much, you know, against most defensive tackles, 446 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: but the guy was smart, he was in the right spot, 447 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: he was dependable. So good luck to him if he 448 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: can sign a big numbered deal with the Bears. And 449 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: then there was this we heard last week just how 450 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: ticked off Brandon Bean was about the JD. McKissick agreed 451 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: to terms coming to the Bills. Oh no, wait a second, 452 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm making a U turn. I'm going back to Washington 453 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: type deal. It it sounded as though there was some 454 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: there were some unwritten rules broken by the Washington commanders 455 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: in trying to recruit JD. McKissick back and successfully doing 456 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: so after a deal essentially had been completed between the 457 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: Bills and mkissic's representatives. So basically what being said last 458 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: week was, once you have an agreement, the agents supposed 459 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: to say it it's over. And this agent did that, 460 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: and this agent told the other club it's over, but 461 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: the other club didn't back off. Then mckissic, who was 462 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: speaking with ESPN or some sources, told ESPN Washington b 463 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: reporter John Kime that Washington thought they would be able 464 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: to match any offer that mkissic might get, and so Washington, 465 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: when seeing the deal had been agreed to terms between 466 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: mkissick and the Bill, said Okay, now it's time for 467 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: us to jump in. And the agent said, oh, oh 468 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: it's over. He's going a Buffalo and they're like, what, 469 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: That's not what we understood. So it seems like there 470 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: was some miscommunication there. But Mkissick, when he was asked 471 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: directly about it, said, quote, so crazy, I don't remember 472 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: my agents call me to let me know what happened. 473 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: So Mkissic's dead. To me, McKissick sounds like he's hiding 474 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: behind his agent number one and to a certain extent, 475 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: the Washington commander's number two. And you know, he tried 476 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: to save some face. He said, quote, you can't ask 477 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: for a better organization to be chosen by. But I 478 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: had unfinished business in Washington. The way we left off, 479 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: we felt we were inclining. That's probably not the right 480 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: word to use there, JD. But he said I had 481 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: things I wanted to prove in Washington. I made my 482 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: decision off where I wanted to be. Buffalo is a 483 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: great organization, but I feel we can do great things 484 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: here as well. So not really a great answer from 485 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: j D. McKissick certainly did not iron out the situation 486 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: at all in my estimation. I mean, that's let's give 487 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: him a straight answer, Like I mean, I know he's 488 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: saying he had unfinished business in Washington. But why why 489 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: do you turn there? You know? Yeah, and it's there's 490 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: no yeah, somebody's lying, yeah, and probably more than one person. 491 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: So there you have it. It's unfortunate, but whatever, the 492 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Bills are moving on. They got Duke Johnson, so off 493 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: they go. So yeah, that's essentially NFL news and notes 494 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: for today. And you know, we're we're knocking around certain 495 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: things as far as the AFC landscape goes, and so 496 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, we're kind of putting our heads together in 497 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: terms of things to discuss, and we want to ask 498 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: you today what AFC personnel move could hurt the bills 499 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: chances at the number one seed in the conference come 500 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: the end of the regular season and why? And there 501 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: are choices, plenty of choices to choose from. Whether you 502 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: want to point to a quarterback move that's happened at 503 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: Ryan coming to the Colts, to Shaun Watson going to 504 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: the Browns. Maybe it's Tyreek Hill going to the Dolphins. 505 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: Maybe it's Davante Adams suddenly in the AFC now out 506 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, Russell Wilson with the Broncos. There's a 507 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 1: ton of choices, but give us a call. Eight oh 508 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: three oh, five fifty one eight eight, five fifty two, 509 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: five fifty What AFC personnel move could most hurt the 510 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: bills chances at the number one playoff seed this fall 511 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: and why? Or you could hit us up on the 512 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills Live. Yeah, one stick out 513 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: more for you than any other. Yeah. Nah, we were 514 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: and we're talking. We were kind of focusing on the 515 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: other teams in the AFC. Did another team overtake the 516 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: Bills or did another you know whatever or hurt the 517 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: Bills or whatever somehow some way. It was more about 518 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: other teams doing it, because obviously the Bills feel like 519 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: they're getting better with von Miller, with the Roger, with Saffold, 520 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: with Tim Settle, Joe Quan Jones. I mean, you go 521 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: down the list, they feel like they're going to get 522 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: better with James Rows and Crowd or all these guys. 523 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: RESI finding Isam McKenzie who was a free agent. So 524 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: they feel like they're getting better. But is there another 525 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: team who made a move that scares you, like the 526 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill move or Russell Wilson coming to Denver all 527 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: of those things. We're not saying that it would necessarily 528 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: overtake the Bills and make somebody else better than them. 529 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: But I mean the AFC conference, there are no weeks 530 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: off now, No, I mean there are no softies. I 531 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,719 Speaker 1: mean there are a couple, but you know what I'm saying, Like, 532 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: the vast majority of this conference has guys that can go. Yeah, 533 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: whether it's at quarterback. I mean, think about this alone. 534 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: You swapped Carson Wentz out to the NFC for Matt Ryan. 535 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: Can't tell me the Colts aren't better? Yeah, absolutely, I 536 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: mean Broncos are better. Russell Wilson from last year and Lesten. 537 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: Think about this, the Tennessee Titans were the one seed 538 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: last year with Ryan Tannehill. All right, So if you 539 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: take Ryan tanne I'll give him an okay season coming up, 540 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: which you know, why not m Ryan Tannehill, Pat Mahomes, 541 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Derek Carr, Mitch Trubisky. The only 542 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: two playoff teams that changed quarterbacks are Mitch Trubisky and 543 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: that's it for Ben Roethlisberger. Then you got Matt, Ryan Tua, 544 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, I mean, justin Herbert, Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson, 545 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: Russ Wilson, Joe Burrow, yeah, I said, Joe Burrow way 546 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: up at the top. Yeah. I mean that's forget it, man, 547 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: that's high end. It's high end. That's yeah. That's like 548 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: they poured all the quarterbacks into one one conference and 549 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: and look at Aaron Rodgers is gonna get another feather 550 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: in his cap. He's gonna be the one seat again 551 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: because he's playing against Detroit, Chicago and Minnesota twice. And 552 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: then he's got the other teams in the conference. What 553 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Kyler, Murray, Tom Brady. Okay, that there you go. 554 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: That's about it. And Stafford that's about it. Oh my gosh, 555 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: no wonder the guy's going to the playoffs every year? Well, 556 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean it's an it's he'll do it again with 557 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: the barren desert of quarterbacks and credit. He'll get full 558 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: credit for going to the playoffs this year without Davante Adams. 559 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's the greatest thing since Slice Bred. 560 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: He's playing against air. All right, we gotta take a 561 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: break here, but open phones for you. At eight O 562 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: three oh five fifty. What AFC personnel move could most 563 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: hurt the bills chances at the number one seed? Who 564 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: might trip them up? Because of what they've added here 565 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: in the off season eight O three oh five fifty 566 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: one eight and eighty five fifty two five fifty or 567 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: hit us up on the tweet sheet to One Bills Live. 568 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: We're back in a second. All right, back here on 569 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and 570 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: just to kind of paint to pick as to how 571 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: much top end talent has moved to the AFC. We 572 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: have a graphic for our MSG viewers and will recite 573 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: these moves, but essentially going from the NFC to the AFC, 574 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: DeVante Adams, Russell Wilson, Amari Cooper, Khalil Mack, Matt Ryan, 575 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: Robert Woods, and then players that moved within the conference 576 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: to another team, Tyreek Hill, Ksey to Miami to Shaun Watson, 577 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: Houston to Cleveland, and then janikin Gockway from Las Vegas 578 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: to the Colts. The only guy who went to the 579 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: NFC was Carson Wentzon. You could argue that's an upgrade 580 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: for the Colts going from Wentz to Ryan. It's an 581 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: upgrade for the Washington Commanders too. Well so yeah, yeah, 582 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: but that's a ton of guys moving over and it's 583 00:33:53,240 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson, Amari Cooper, Khalil Mack, Matt Ryan, and 584 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: Robert Woods is a favorite. I mean, everybody loves Robert 585 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: Woods can play, and he came from the Rams back 586 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: to Tennessee. Unbelievable. Man. Let's go to the phones to 587 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: see what you think what AFC personnel move could most 588 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: hurt the bills chances at the number one seed for 589 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs this coming fall. We go to Trevor in Messina, 590 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: leaning us off. Well, yeah, first, Trevor, all right, yeah, 591 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: I think I mean, just like you guys named off 592 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: all the moves, I don't think there's really personally, I 593 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: don't think there's really one move that directly threatened that's 594 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: all the entire being in the same division. But really, 595 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: I think, I mean now that we're kind of like 596 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: knowing free agency is kind of done with the big 597 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: moves that we've done, but I think kind of now 598 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: turning to the draft, we've got to kind of focus 599 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: on our backup corners because there's so many offensive moves 600 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: that have brought guys into the AFC. Mean, AFC is 601 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: not powerhouse, So I think we really got to look 602 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: at our corners, and I mean you guys were talking 603 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: last week about or Cameron resisted or not put about 604 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: like who's gonna be available to us and the mock drafts, 605 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: And I mean, you got those top guys that are gone, 606 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: but I think still with our twenty five picks we 607 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: should be looking. Now it's some one like Kyler Gordon 608 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: as Roger McCreary. But right, yeah, that's that's just mind. Yeah. 609 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 1: And I'll say this, and I saw the offensive weapons. Yeah, 610 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: I think you're right now. And I'll say this too, 611 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: not only I get it, but you can't let um. 612 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: You know the fact that all of a sudden, tie 613 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: reeks in the division. People are saying, wow, now you 614 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta get a corner. You can cut it. 615 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna cover Tyreek one on one. I don't care 616 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: who it is. There isn't a guy in this draft, 617 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: right Uh. I still think and this is what people 618 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: get away from when we start living in this moment. 619 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: You know, when when you see this trade, you gotta 620 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: react to that trade for your team, you know, And 621 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: it's not about that. Who are the guys available that 622 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: will make you better everywhere? Forget about just in on 623 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: defense or offense who's gonna make you better. That's the 624 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: guy you get, and then you go to the next one. 625 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 1: You get the next guy, the best guy you can get. 626 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: You're trying to make your team as good as it 627 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: can be. Forget about what other teams are doing. You 628 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: match up when you get there, because from between now 629 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: an opening day, you know, opening kickoff, the day after 630 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: the week after Labor Day, a lot of things can change. 631 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: So you just make your team as good as it 632 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 1: can make and let them match up with you too, 633 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: and see how you do. So don't it's crazy to 634 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: the Bills have got to take three corners or two 635 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: corners or even one corner in this draft because they 636 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: got Tyreek Hill and all. No, you make your team 637 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: as good as you can make it. If there's a 638 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna make you let you score two extra 639 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns a game, that's who you get. Not a guy 640 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: who's gonna not give up one touchdown a game. You 641 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's the kind of math you 642 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: do in your head. You just get you score as 643 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: much as you can, and you make your defense as 644 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: strong as you can to hope keep those other guys 645 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: off the board. I will just get the best player 646 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: and make your team as good as it can be. 647 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: Don't react to what the other team does. I will 648 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: say though, at the end of the season rapp a 649 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: press conference, I asked coach mctur speed defeats even the 650 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: most fundamental of defenses. Can you fight speed with speed? 651 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: Do you need to add speed to your roster? And 652 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: he said it was a valid point. So I think 653 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: that is one skill that cannot be taught. Can it 654 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: be developed? I guess to a certain extent it can. 655 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's the only thing you look at, 656 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: but it could be a deciding factor. Let's just say 657 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: you have two prospects that are relatively even on the 658 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: board at a position that would help you take the 659 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: faster one. Take the guy that runs a little bit thing. 660 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: Though there's not a guy in this drafts fast at Tyreek. 661 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: Well right, well, hold on, and now he runs a 662 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: four two nine. There's there's a couple of guys that 663 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: ran four two six and four two three, But he 664 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: can run a four two nine, like from first step whatever. 665 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: My point is this um from you can do that. 666 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: You can do that, Brownie, you do that? Way you 667 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: you go and you try and find a guy that's 668 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna cover him one on one man to man. Right, 669 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna get I'm gonna 670 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,919 Speaker 1: get the r What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna 671 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: get guys on the other side of the ball. I'm 672 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna outscore them them with TWA and Tyreek and all 673 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: those other jokers, Geziki and all those guys, We're gonna outscore. 674 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna get more guys for Josh. I'm gonna 675 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: get another way to do a limon. I'm gonna get 676 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: an off. I'm gonna do it that way because as 677 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: much as they're a matchup problem, we got to get 678 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: to that point for them. And the Bills may have 679 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: already chosen the way they're gonna do it. They're gonna 680 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: get the best pass rusher on the market to tackle 681 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback before he can complete the pass. At Tyreek, which, 682 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: by the way, Week one of last season, what happened 683 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,959 Speaker 1: in first three, first three plays that to a drop back, 684 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: he was on the ground and if the third one 685 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 1: he was out of the game. Yeah that wasn't first 686 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: three it was, but first two series he was. They 687 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: were out off the field. And the second series he 688 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: comes out and he was he didn't finish. Jacoby Brissette 689 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: led him to a thirty five to nothing defeat. Yeah, 690 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: back to the phones into Walter in Toronto. What do 691 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: you have first, Walter? Hey, guys, how are you doing right? Uh? 692 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: I agree with Steve. I don't mind getting into a 693 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: little arms race, and because I think we with Alan, 694 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: I think we could just just about I'll score anybody. 695 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: But I think the theme is gonna be, um, you know, 696 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: securing the division. I mean AFC first place would be great. Uh, definitely, 697 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: especially because it goes through Buffalo. But I think securing 698 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: the division is critical, and I think Miami's gonna pose 699 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: some problems. Um, you know, White's not gonna be one 700 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent, probably too many way through the season. You know, 701 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: it's a tricky injury. We lost Wallace. Now granted he 702 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,479 Speaker 1: didn't have speed, but he he was fitting in nice. 703 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna have to pick up some 704 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: some speed in our in our corners, just to just 705 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: to kind of you're right. You can't cover this guy 706 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: one on one. He's just the freak of nature. But 707 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: you got to be able to contain them and uh, 708 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: and to do that you need speed. So I can 709 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: see Buffalo picking up a couple of cornerbacks with speed 710 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: in the draft. Just wondering what your thoughts were on that. Yeah, 711 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: I would, I would tend to agree with that. How early? 712 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: How late? I think that's a matter of value, because 713 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: you know, everybody can say, oh, well, the Bills have 714 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: to get a corner in the first round. Now, well 715 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: what if the top three are gone and on the 716 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: Bill's board, the fourth best corner in the draft has 717 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: a third round grade. They're not taking a corner at 718 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: twenty five because the value doesn't match up. That's how 719 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: it works with Brandon Bean and probably the majority of 720 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: the other thirty one teams in the NFL. Man you'll 721 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: always see a team take a reach or a miss 722 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: on a grade, and you know, they take somebody that 723 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: looks all out of whack with where they went off 724 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,240 Speaker 1: the board and go all the way back to Cleveland 725 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: Ferrell the Raiders took fourth overall. That was a miss 726 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,399 Speaker 1: in a big way. I mean, that's that's not even 727 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: a reach. That's just a miss. So it does happen, 728 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: but it doesn't happen often since Brandon Bean's been in 729 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: the GM chair here in Buffalo. So it's all a 730 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: matter of how the board falls the value that's presented 731 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: to them at respective positions that they might have their 732 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 1: eyeballs on. But yes, and again I agree with Steve. 733 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: Covering Tyreek Hill one on one with anybody is not 734 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: a viable solution. All I want to do is get 735 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: enough speed on the field defensively whereafter he catches the ball, 736 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't outrun everybody for sixty yards. We've got somebody 737 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: that can close ground on him or at least get 738 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: a good angle on him and make a play. That's 739 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: all I'm looking for in terms of adding speed to 740 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: the defense. But also too, we can only go with 741 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: what where we're at now. The Bills don't have enough 742 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: corners Foster from a sheer numbers strom a sheer number standpoint, 743 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 1: and if you're going into the draft like that, there's 744 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 1: no way you walk out without one. But that can 745 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: change between now and the next month when the draft happens. 746 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: So I would and I would anticipate, yes, it probably 747 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: will break time for us here more of your phone calls. 748 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: Next on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to health, 749 00:41:50,640 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. The Buffalo Sabers are proud to 750 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 1: host r J Night, presented by Wegmans, during the team's 751 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: home game against the Nashville Predators a Friday, April first. 752 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 1: The legendary career Sabers play by play man Rick Janerette 753 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: will be honored when a banner bearing his name will 754 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: join the banners of other Sabers legends and the rafters 755 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: of Key Bank Center before the game. Note I said 756 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: before the game, so if you want to catch all 757 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 1: the festivities, be sure you are in your seat prior 758 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 1: to opening faceoff. Should be a special night. Yeah, it 759 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: will be. We have to get back to the phones 760 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: where we are asking you today. What AFC personnel move 761 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: thus far could hurt the bills chances at the number 762 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: one seed the most. Not saying they're getting it overtaken, 763 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: but what's going to make it a little bit more 764 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: difficult to get there? There are moves out there. Remember, 765 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we all remember what it was like, you know, 766 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: years ago for the Bills trying to get out of 767 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: that whole. You're sitting there and you're trying to get 768 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: by New England before you can even think about getting 769 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: in the playoffs in Miami. He's got to be looking 770 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: up here at Josh Allen and the guy is a 771 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: dropped to pass away from being eight and oh against 772 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: your franchise. Yeah, eight and oh and not only eight 773 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: and o eight and oh like styling, well, I mean 774 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: not even close out behind the woodshed, but whoopings, Oh 775 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, thirty five nothing, fifty six, twenty six, thirty five, 776 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. It's just one thing. After they beat 777 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: him by fifteen this last twenty six eleven. They beat 778 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 1: him by fifteen the second game this year and yawned 779 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: their way through it. I'm I mean the Dolphins have 780 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: got to be sitting down there, looking up there, thinking 781 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: we've got to do something. Yeah, So let's go to 782 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: the phones and see what you think. We go to 783 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: Kevin and Hamburg next week. Got Kevin. Hey, guys, you 784 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: for taking my call. I still worry about the Colts 785 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: because last year he Carson didn't do much against us 786 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: but still won. Now they got Matt Ryan, a guy 787 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: who actually played in the Super Bowl because Carson didn' 788 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: because he was the spectator as he was hurt. This 789 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: guy knows how to play. And another thing I want 790 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: to bring this up, is you remember that Falcon game 791 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: he played with against us. We didn't do that wonderful. 792 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: We won the game, but we didn't do that wonderful 793 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: against the team who pretty much with him had a 794 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: barmacist type season for Falcon fans, and we did not. 795 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: We won, but we he didn't gave us much more 796 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: of a hell of a fight than he should have 797 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 1: for a team like that. Now he's got a good 798 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: running back, a phenomenal coach, our former quarterback, so yes, 799 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: and he wiris me again even though it's not Carson anymore. Yeah, 800 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: I would. I would venture to say the Colts are 801 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: a safe playoff betsion, so I really know. I think 802 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 1: they're probably hosting a playoff game at the beginning. So 803 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: it's a team you might see in the divisional round 804 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: or even who really knows for sure. But I think 805 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 1: they're a better team. They were Matt Ryan than Carson went. 806 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 1: They were nine and eight last year, behind, of course, 807 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 1: behind Tennessee was twelve and five in the one seed. 808 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: I think Indianapolis is markedly better. They've they've got a 809 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: roster that the offensive line is going to be extremely 810 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: good this year. Again, Matt Ryan's gonna give him be 811 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 1: a steadying influence rather than somebody they're trying to work 812 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: around and prop up. Matt Ryan is a mature adult 813 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: man who is who has got thick skin. He's gonna 814 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: be okay when things go bad, He's not gonna crumble. 815 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 1: In fact, he may rise up and guys gravitate towards that. 816 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's gonna help those guys a lot. And we 817 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:52,720 Speaker 1: know here in Buffalo as well as anybody that Cult 818 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 1: team can go when they're on, they can really they 819 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: have a really good opportunistic defense that takes the ball away. 820 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: Got all world linebacker and Darius Leonard. So yeah, they've 821 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: got some people, and they just traded just right the 822 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: pass rusher whose name is escaping me. Now we just 823 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 1: had them on the damn graphic quay. Yeah, that's yeah. 824 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 1: So I agree with Kevin. It's a good call because 825 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: you kind of tend to forget about it. But if 826 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: you look back last year at the conference standings and 827 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: you think, okay, some of these teams are going to 828 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. Some are in Indianapolis just miss 829 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: they were number eight, right behind Pittsburgh at number seven, 830 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: and you go, New England and Vegas were the wild 831 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: cards last year. Vegas, New England, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis has got 832 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: to be thinking they're gonna be better than all three 833 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: of those teams, all three of them, Pittsburgh, New England 834 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: and Las Vegas. Indianapolis has got to be thinking, what 835 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: are we doing? We should have been there last year. 836 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna come back and feel like that. 837 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: And I agree with Kevin. Indianapolis is a team that 838 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: has gotten better. It could be dangerous, and it's under 839 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: the radar because of the move with Carson Wentz happened 840 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 1: so early in the free agency. To Jed in Churchville, 841 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: we go, we got first, jed Um, I think that everybody, 842 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: everybody's going to be even when it comes to the offense. 843 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: Where the Bills have the best shot of all the 844 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: teams in the conference is a defense. Their defense is 845 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: going to their offensive carry them, but their defense will 846 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 1: carry them just a little bit more than anybody else 847 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: in the conference. Yeah, I mean everybody in the other 848 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: divisions are going to be beating up on each other. Yeah, 849 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: that's certainly the hope. In the AFC West, it's a lock. 850 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: But I don't know if I agree with you, Jeb 851 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: in terms in terms of what Bill's defense may take 852 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: a statistical step back this year. They were number one 853 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 1: team the conference last year, number one team in the 854 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 1: number one defense in the league, number one team in 855 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:58,240 Speaker 1: the league. Look at the quarterbacks they played throughout the season, 856 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: a lot of good ones. They played none except for 857 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,919 Speaker 1: Tom Brady lost in overtime. Pat Mahomes they beat once 858 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: and lost to him once. Um and what Carson Wentz 859 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: beat him? Yep, Ben Roethlisberger, Uh, Tannehill. And then they 860 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: had Trevor Simeon on Thanksgiving, right, Trevor Lawrence beat him. Um, 861 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,439 Speaker 1: they did not. They play a gauntlet of really good 862 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,359 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the Houston rookie and his second career star 863 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: Davis Mills. Uh, they beat you know, all these teams. 864 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 1: I mean. And so I don't think the Bills, not 865 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: that I think they're gonna, you know, crumble and fall, 866 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 1: but they're not gonna they're gonna take a step back. Well, 867 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: they gotta play Burrow. They'll probably play Mitchell Trubisky, and 868 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: then Deshaun Watson, right, you know, and Lamar Jackson played 869 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: Washington football. It's just the North Taylor Heineke in Washington 870 00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: to play against Rogers. Um, so you be playing some 871 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 1: top Zach Wilson of the Jets twice, Mac Jones twice, Oh, 872 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: your favorite, Kirk Cousins, Carolina Panthers. Who they who are 873 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: the Panthers? And my favorite Ryan Tannehill. Who the who 874 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: the Panthers play at quarterback? When we played then, wasn't 875 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: it some guy? Wasn't It wasn't Teddy. Now it wasn't Darnald. 876 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't Darnald. It was Cam new Camm with the Panthers. Yeah, right, yes, 877 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: So you know, I think the Bill's defense is gonna 878 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: face a much staff much much more difficult schedule this year. 879 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: Um And I'm they just had the schedule up and 880 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: I did to look at him. There it is right there, 881 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford, Matthew Stafford, 882 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:55,319 Speaker 1: Mitch Trubiski, Kirk Cousins, Deshaun Watson, Ryan Tannehill. They got 883 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: some guys they're gonna be playing and that then that's 884 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: and then Tuah, Mac and Zach. So they get a 885 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 1: break in the division quarterback wise. So it's I think 886 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: the defense is gonna be up against it this year 887 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. Now, pass rush you're gonna be better, yep, 888 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,399 Speaker 1: and a lot of and a lot of what we're 889 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: talking about has to do with the offensive lineman in 890 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: front of all those quarterbacks. And I like where the 891 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 1: bills are. But there you go. I mean, so, I 892 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: guess I'm sorry. I know. The defense was great this year, 893 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: number one defense in the league for a little huge 894 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 1: section of the season, and ended up being that I 895 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna be able to repeat that. 896 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: It might be might be a more effective defense if 897 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,319 Speaker 1: you're a high sack defense and high turnover defense, might 898 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: might have better returns. Oh no, top, I'll take a 899 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: top ten defense that leads the league in turnovers and sacks. Yeah. 900 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus lead NFL analysts Sam Monson joins us. 901 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: And when we come back here on one Bills Live 902 00:50:53,560 --> 00:51:11,919 Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

He was kind of a dual role player 905 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in 906 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: the strategyer of normalcy. All right, Welcome to our number 907 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 1: two here on a Thursday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, 908 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 1: and please to be joined now by the lead NFL 909 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: analyst for Pro Football Focus, also co host of the 910 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 1: PF NFL podcast. It is one Sam Monson joining us 911 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: here in the throws of the off season, as we 912 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: are almost evenly betwixt free agency, in the draft and 913 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: h I don't know about you, Sam, but the AFC 914 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: looks like the NFC's big brother with all the top 915 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 1: end talent that has moved to that side of the league. 916 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: It's turned into a horse race here. I mean, I 917 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 1: know the AFC West is its own animal, but there's 918 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: gonna be no weeks off in the AFC coming up 919 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: this fall. No, pretty much. It's crazy. The entire AFC 920 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: appears to be loading up for this incredible arms race 921 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: and this incredible season that we hope is about to happen. 922 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: You know, you look at a team like Miami. Miami 923 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 1: have made a couple of massive moves, bringing in one 924 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 1: of the best left tackles in the NFL to were 925 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: On Armstead, another addition to the offensive line, Connor Williams. 926 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: You go on trade for Tyree Hill and they still 927 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,319 Speaker 1: might not be a playoff team. I mean, that's the 928 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 1: level that the AFC is right now. And as you said, 929 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: the entire AFC West all look like contenders. You know, Buffalo, 930 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: half the teams in the North. The AFC is just 931 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 1: crazy right now. One of the things we've noticed, too, 932 00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: is that quarterbacks and pass rushers and wide receivers have 933 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: been the currency of this offseason. How do you see 934 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 1: those guys falling with Khalil Mack going within Goquay, going 935 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis, Chandler Jones, von Miller here in Buffalo, and 936 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: then of course the quarterback movement with Matt Ryan and 937 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz. How do you see you know, 938 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 1: I know you guys have your own numbers about what 939 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: it means you are you proponents of coverage or pass rush? 940 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: I mean, what are we looking at as to how 941 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: to combat this arms race at the quarterback spot. I 942 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: think that's the one element of this that's a little 943 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 1: bit unusual. Generally. What you're seeing is how the NFL 944 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: feels about where what moved the needle in terms of 945 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,879 Speaker 1: winning Quarterbacks, pass catchers, pass rushers. Those are the three 946 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: most important areas of the NFL or of football according 947 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: to NFL teams now at PFF, we would say, you know, 948 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,360 Speaker 1: raise a hand and say, hey, what about coverage, what 949 00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 1: about quarterbacks? What about the guys are trying to stop 950 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,280 Speaker 1: the Those guys are pretty important too. And in our world, 951 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: you know, the data would say that cornerbacks in particular 952 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: are a little bit undervalued right now, and those guys 953 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: should be getting some serious attention as well. And the 954 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 1: fact that the cornerback market this free agent period has 955 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 1: been a little bit depressed is interesting. Guys like J. C. Jackson, 956 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, escape from New England got to hit the 957 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,320 Speaker 1: open market and didn't get the kind of monster contract 958 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: that's being handed out to receivers or to pass rushers, 959 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: and that is a little bit interesting. Certainly, the NFL 960 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: does not appear to agree so far that those guys 961 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,399 Speaker 1: are where you should invest resources, at least on an 962 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: individual level. And what we might be seeing is just, 963 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,839 Speaker 1: you know, they believe it's as important as we do. 964 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: But the way that you go about that is slightly different, 965 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: because you can't just have one elite corner You need 966 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 1: to have several guys that you trust to be able 967 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: to combine to slow down a passing attack. Sam one 968 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: one acquisition of the Bills that I did want to 969 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: bounce off you, knowing how much you guys crunch the numbers. 970 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 1: And I apologize if you don't have this at the ready, 971 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: and I don't mean to put you on the spot. 972 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: But the Crowder signing to essentially replace Cole Beasley in 973 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: the slot, the eyeball test would tell me Crowder is 974 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: a little bit better after the catch than Beasley is. 975 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 1: And we know that the Bills have been around the 976 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,280 Speaker 1: bottom of the league and yards after catch, they haven't 977 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: really suffered because of it or suffered from it because 978 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 1: they have a quarterback who can throw it as far 979 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,959 Speaker 1: as you need them to, So yards after the catch 980 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: maybe not as high a priority to fix in Buffalo, 981 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,919 Speaker 1: but it seems like Crowder offers more than Beasley does 982 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: after the catch is made. I don't know if there's 983 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: any metrics to support that, but that's what my eyes 984 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 1: tell me. Yeah, I think that's probably true. The thing 985 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:56,280 Speaker 1: that Cole Beasley is best at is just separation route running. 986 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: He gives you the best picture you're going to get 987 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: from slot receiver that works the underneath of the field. 988 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: He's always going to look open. He's very good at 989 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 1: separating before the ball rise at his hands. Jamison Crowder, 990 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 1: I think, is a little bit more of an all rounder. 991 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,479 Speaker 1: He can get open as well. He's maybe not quite 992 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,800 Speaker 1: as good as easily at that, but he does bring 993 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,759 Speaker 1: more to the table. He is a I think, a 994 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:24,720 Speaker 1: better athlete after the catch. He's potentially got a bigger 995 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: catch radius at the catch point as well, and maybe 996 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more dynamic. But that's the kind of 997 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: tradeoff that Beasley will give you a slightly better picture 998 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 1: before the ball is in the air, but Crowder might 999 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: bring more to the table across the board. Once you 1000 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 1: can get it to him, that's when he can make 1001 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 1: a few more things happen. So I think overall it's 1002 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 1: a pretty good move. One of the other moves of 1003 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 1: the Bills made seemed a little bit under the radar 1004 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 1: and a little bit more of a roll of the 1005 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,800 Speaker 1: dice maybe with a big upside is O. J. Howard. 1006 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,720 Speaker 1: He came out of Alabama. It was just highly touted athlete, 1007 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 1: had the injury two years ago, and then when the 1008 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: Buck made a run and got Tom Brady, Brady wanted 1009 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 1: to bring in his guy Gronkowski. Howard gets moved to 1010 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: the rear, to the back burner and has sat there. 1011 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about him, his play and his 1012 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: career thus far, particularly after the injury two years ago. Yeah, 1013 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: I love this move for Buffalo for whatever reason, it 1014 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 1: just hasn't worked out for Oj Howard in the NFL 1015 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: so far. And sometimes you see guys that are dealt 1016 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: with injuries and you know, you watch them on tape 1017 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: and they're not the same guy they were before they 1018 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 1: got hurt. OJ Howard looks fine physically, like he doesn't 1019 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 1: look like somebody that's suffered from the injuries, and just 1020 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,920 Speaker 1: as not the same athletic specimen that he was before 1021 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: he got hurt. He looks like he should be a 1022 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 1: dominant playmaker. He just isn't. And for a team like Buffalo, 1023 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: who already have at Dawson Knox in place, I think 1024 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: it's a perfect spot for him to land and just 1025 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: see if they can get something above and beyond what 1026 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: he's been able to show so far in the NFL. 1027 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 1: Because the talent is still there. You look at his 1028 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: physical traits and the capacity that he has to make 1029 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: plays should be producing a lot more than it is, 1030 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 1: and it just hasn't been so far. But I think 1031 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 1: a team like the Bills, who don't need him to 1032 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 1: but if he ends up showing a lot more than 1033 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 1: he did from Tamba Bay, it's a massive bonus for them. 1034 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: I think they're a perfect landing spot for I need 1035 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: you to help me explain the Patriots approach to free 1036 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,479 Speaker 1: agency because it is in stark contrast to the money. 1037 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: By this time last year, they had thrown upwards at 1038 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty million dollars around on contracts 1039 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 1: to fortify their roster. And I don't know, maybe it's 1040 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 1: a once every four years type of thing for them 1041 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: where they do this because they're not doing much anything. 1042 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: They've resigned a couple of their own. But what is 1043 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 1: your take on what the Patriots have or maybe more 1044 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 1: accurately not done in free agency thus far? Yeah, I 1045 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 1: think that's definitely part of it is that they spent 1046 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 1: so much last year, there was no way they were 1047 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: going to back that up with another mass suspending spree. Overall, 1048 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a terrible roster and I think 1049 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: they don't need necessarily to do what they did a 1050 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 1: year ago, which is, you know, make some serious repair 1051 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: work to a roster that had fallen into disrepair this season. 1052 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 1: I think they're in a better place. I am curious 1053 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 1: about their decision to let JC Jackson walk away in 1054 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: free agency. I think that's a mistake. Even if they 1055 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: are pivoting to the different type of defense, you know, 1056 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: going to more zone coverage, moving away from the man 1057 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 1: heavy schemes that they've been running for years, I still 1058 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 1: think you're going to need a high end, number one 1059 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 1: corner whatever the system is you're running, and J C. 1060 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 1: Jackson was that guy. At some point. You have the 1061 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: paid players like that. So it's interesting that they've elected 1062 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 1: to let him walk and haven't done a great job 1063 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: yet of backfilling that position. Their cornerback depth chart does 1064 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: look weak, and they're almost backing themselves into a corner 1065 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: for the draft to have to attack that in the 1066 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: first round, just to have somebody that they trust. But 1067 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,400 Speaker 1: outside of that, I think the Patriots are confident enough 1068 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 1: in the roster that they have to just attack this 1069 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: with the draft. They really seemed like they got old 1070 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: fast last year and they got slow. I mean, they 1071 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 1: looked like they couldn't keep up with teams that were 1072 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: doing what teams are in the AFC. You're going to 1073 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 1: be doing with these quarterbacks with Mahomes, with Alan Um, 1074 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 1: you know even Um even they also rans like Houston 1075 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: Texans and he had All these teams are trying to 1076 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: put guys out there who can really run into Cole 1077 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 1: and the Patriots now with with J. C. Jackson off 1078 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,479 Speaker 1: that roster, it doesn't look like they can keep up 1079 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 1: physically with what the AFC Conference is putting out there. Offensively, 1080 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: where do you see their defense stacking up? If I 1081 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: mean a scheme change isn't going to cover a lot 1082 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,520 Speaker 1: of ills, Well, it will when you combine it with 1083 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, some changes in personnel. I think you're right 1084 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,960 Speaker 1: that they had built this defense that was a lot 1085 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: more power focused than a lot of other defenses in 1086 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: the NFL. Guys like Dante high Tower, these big bruising 1087 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 1: linebackers that were two hundred and fifty pounds and were 1088 01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,920 Speaker 1: specialists in terms of blitzing and you know, rushing the 1089 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,200 Speaker 1: passer as much as they were in coverage or in space. 1090 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: And that kind of worked until teams started rolling out 1091 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that were dynamic athletes that can run around and 1092 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: make plays themselves. And all of a sudden, you know, 1093 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Allen one on one in the 1094 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: open field against the guy like High Tower, he's destroying him. 1095 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 1: So that doesn't work anymore, and you have to completely 1096 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: change and pivot away from that. And we've already seen 1097 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots make a few little moves here and there 1098 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: that do suggest that they are moving towards more speed 1099 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: and more athleticism at those kind of positions, and I 1100 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 1: think they're definitely going to need to the other element 1101 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 1: there is when you shift towards more zone defense, you're 1102 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: going to get more guys with their eyes on the 1103 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 1: quarterback and the ability to kind of react to when 1104 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,840 Speaker 1: those guys start to move and try and match up 1105 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 1: from an athleticism standpoint, so, I think they are moving 1106 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 1: in the right direction. But you're right, what they were 1107 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: doing was starting to be badly exposed by this new 1108 01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 1: breed of NFL quarterback. And I know, you know, when 1109 01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 1: we first started with you here in this segment, you 1110 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 1: were saying, you know, the Dolphins are a better team, 1111 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: but there's still no lock to make the playoffs in 1112 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: a stacked AFC. How does that impact to it? I mean, 1113 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 1: is that a playoffs or bust scenario for him. I mean, 1114 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,440 Speaker 1: because this seems very much even though it's only year 1115 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 1: one under Mike McDaniel, for him, it seems very much 1116 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 1: like a make or break type season coming up for him. Yeah, 1117 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 1: I think it is a make or break season for him, 1118 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 1: But it's also the first season where I think you're 1119 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 1: going to get a fair evaluation because that offensive line 1120 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: last year it wasn't just bad, it was historically bad. 1121 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: They gave up I think two hundred and thirty pressures 1122 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 1: over the course of the season something like that, one 1123 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,959 Speaker 1: of the worst rates we've ever seen in fifteen years 1124 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,880 Speaker 1: worth of doing this grating at the NFL level. His 1125 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 1: receiving corps was fine, but it wasn't great. For the 1126 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 1: first time, we're going to start to get I think, 1127 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: a much more real reflection of what toa can do. 1128 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: They're going to have an offensive line in front of 1129 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 1: them that's at least viable and lets him show if 1130 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: he can be an NFL quarterback or not. And yeah, 1131 01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,439 Speaker 1: he's only gon get one shot at it because he's 1132 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 1: had some time already, and that's unfortunate for him. It's 1133 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit unfair, but it's also the reality 1134 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 1: of the NFL. Sometimes quarterbacks don't always get a fair shot, 1135 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: they don't always get a fair crank and showing what 1136 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 1: they can do. But this is going to have to 1137 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 1: be his year. What do you make of the Tyreek 1138 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Hill arrival there? And and you know, obviously people are 1139 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 1: making this thing that Tah's arm is not Pat Mahomes's 1140 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 1: arm and Tyreek Hill it doesn't matter if he's sixty 1141 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 1: five yards down the field because two us can't throw 1142 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,920 Speaker 1: it that far. That kind of general you know what 1143 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, And it's usually and you'll what do 1144 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 1: your numbers say about great wideouts who go to other 1145 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,680 Speaker 1: teams usually don't help the other team as much as 1146 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 1: the loss is for the team that they left. How 1147 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 1: does that leave the Chiefs and the Dolphins in this trade? Yeah? 1148 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes were a perfect combination, 1149 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 1: right because the deep speed that Tyreek Hill has, but 1150 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 1: also the ability to get open on scramble drill type 1151 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: of things. The number of plays where Patrick Mahomes extends 1152 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: to play and then three, four or five seconds after 1153 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 1: he started messing around in the backfield, that's when Tyreek 1154 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: Hill is open. Over the middle and Patrick Mahomes can 1155 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 1: fire the ball there. And it's because Tyreek Hill has 1156 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 1: this unique combination of quickness, acceleration but also speed all 1157 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 1: put together, so he can separate with an immediate reaction move. 1158 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: And then there isn't a cornerback in the NFL that 1159 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: can get that yard back as long as he keeps running. 1160 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,360 Speaker 1: And that's what they do so well. To a can't 1161 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: make those plays, so you're immediately taking a whole bunch 1162 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 1: of stuff off the table. But you go back before 1163 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was there, and Tyreek Hill was so effective 1164 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,280 Speaker 1: he was able to turn Alex Smith into the league's 1165 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 1: most effective deep ball thrower that year. Before Mahomes was 1166 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback right and Alex Smith is this pathologically conservative 1167 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: quarterback over the course of his career, but Tyreek Hill 1168 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: one on one on the outside became just an auto 1169 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 1: read as soon as he saw that he was going 1170 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 1: to put the ball in the air deep down the sideline, 1171 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 1: and I had made him. He led the league I 1172 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 1: think in deep passing yards that season. I think he 1173 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 1: had the best passer rating that season on deep passes 1174 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: as well. It can do that for two as well. 1175 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 1: Like arm strength is not the thing that determines whether 1176 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: or not you can complete deep passes. It's going to 1177 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,760 Speaker 1: determine whether you can make those throws of the Mahomes 1178 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 1: makes where he's rolling in one direction and fires a 1179 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 1: thirty five yards on a rope across the middle of 1180 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 1: the field. Those are the plays the two account make 1181 01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 1: because of his arm, but he can read single coverage 1182 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 1: and put the ball in the air forty yards down 1183 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 1: the sideline as well as anybody. Before we let you go, Sam, 1184 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 1: why don't you just share with the listening audience the 1185 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:43,400 Speaker 1: fundraiser you've put together for the Sunshine Kids Foundation. Yeah. 1186 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,560 Speaker 1: We on the PF NFL podcast we are having dueling 1187 01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,400 Speaker 1: charity drives. We raise some money for a good cause. 1188 01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 1: I've got one that's mine, the Sunshine Kids one. Steve 1189 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,000 Speaker 1: has one as well, called a Heritage House. I think 1190 01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,920 Speaker 1: it's both of our pinned tweets on Twitter. So at 1191 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 1: PF Underscore Sam or at PF Underscore Seve. We raise money. 1192 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,440 Speaker 1: Whoever gets to that figure first is going to do 1193 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,160 Speaker 1: some kind of forfeit or challenge or whatever it is. 1194 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: And we're doing a series of these. We do one 1195 01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: do the thing they move on to the next one. 1196 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 1: My one is if I raise the money, first I 1197 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,919 Speaker 1: have to recreate a Jackson Mahomes TikTok dance. Oh kind 1198 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: of hoping I don't win. Actually, wow, that's the winner 1199 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 1: has to do something. Okay, I would I would have 1200 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 1: thought it would have been the other way around. You've 1201 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 1: got to be rewarded if you're raising more money, not punished. 1202 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: That's I mean, the doing anything Jackson Mahomes is not attractive. Yeah, 1203 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 1: the people who donate get to be rewarded with the dance, 1204 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:42,240 Speaker 1: right exactly. Yeah, that's it. I see, Sam. That's awesome. 1205 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for spending some time with us. I 1206 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: know I've said it before here on the show. We 1207 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 1: work hard and the season gets long. We look forward 1208 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 1: to the off season and it gets here and we 1209 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,480 Speaker 1: realize it really doesn't happen. The season keeps on rolling 1210 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 1: throughout so right, thanks for giving us some time anytime. 1211 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 1: Thanks guys. All right, that is NFL writer for Pro 1212 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 1: Football Focus, Sam Anson joining us here. While we were 1213 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,600 Speaker 1: talking to Sam, there is some Bills news to pass 1214 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:14,400 Speaker 1: along to you. The agent for Taiwan Jones has tweeted 1215 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 1: out congratulations for his client for signing back with the 1216 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 1: Bills for his twelfth NFL season. So it appears, although 1217 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 1: the team has not confirmed anything as if yet, that 1218 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,439 Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones will be back as a special team's ace 1219 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 1: for the Bills in twenty twenty two, provided things go through, 1220 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 1: passes a physical, signs the contract. According to Taiwan Jones agent, 1221 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: and what this would do, Steve is essentially put the 1222 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 1: top two gunners on this special team's coverage unit back together. 1223 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,920 Speaker 1: As we know so, ran Neil resigned was the first 1224 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 1: Bill free agent to resign before the free agent market 1225 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 1: even opened. Resigned with the Bills on a three year contract. 1226 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 1: And now it looks like Taiwan Jones will return for 1227 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 1: a twelve the NFL season. Right valuable. Yeah, he makes 1228 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: a difference. I was watching, you know how I do. 1229 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 1: I went back and you go back to games where 1230 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 1: you kind of forget about things like in the Thanksgiving 1231 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 1: game in New Orleans, more tardeous White got injured. The 1232 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 1: Bill's coverage units were absolutely dominant in Yea, they were, 1233 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 1: and it's a little thing people can say, Okay, cool, 1234 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,640 Speaker 1: good job. And then they started thinking about Josh or 1235 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 1: they started thinking about Tremainder Davis come back on the field. 1236 01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,799 Speaker 1: It makes a huge difference for those for the team 1237 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,719 Speaker 1: in the overall scheme of things, because the field position 1238 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 1: becomes such a factor, and you know, in a game 1239 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 1: like that it kind of gets lost in the wash. 1240 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,120 Speaker 1: You go back and look at it, and football people 1241 01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 1: look at it and study that stuff. It's hard to 1242 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,200 Speaker 1: dominate on special teams. Those guys in that game, at 1243 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:53,040 Speaker 1: least that I watched today, they did. Yeah, and while 1244 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 1: the Bills are probably not big proponents of punting a lot, 1245 01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 1: they prefer not to. I have to imagine that when 1246 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:06,320 Speaker 1: they do, Jones and Neil are really big security blankets 1247 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 1: for new special teams coordinator Matthew Smiley. Obviously he has 1248 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: been here as an original member of Sean mcdermot's coaching 1249 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 1: staff serving in an assistant special team's role. Now he's 1250 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 1: the guy. But from a continuity standpoint, having your top 1251 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 1: two gunners walking back in the door for the twenty 1252 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 1: twenty two season, you have to feel like the foundation 1253 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 1: is there already for that particular unit and others, because 1254 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,840 Speaker 1: that's not the only unit. Those two guys play on 1255 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 1: on special teams. They are core four special teamers. They 1256 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,560 Speaker 1: play on all four units for the most part, so definitely, 1257 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, a good foundation off of which to work 1258 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,760 Speaker 1: heading into the fall. For the special Teams unit here 1259 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 1: so good, it's really good. And you know you got 1260 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 1: a new and Jake Cumrose back too. Yeah, those three 1261 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 1: guys and Medakevic. Those four guys are Andre Smith, he's bad. 1262 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 1: I got some guys. They got some guys and uh 1263 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:06,000 Speaker 1: Tyrell Dodson. It's they should be goodness. It's good for 1264 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Matt Smiley to have those guys to lean on so 1265 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: he can you know, get get his feet under him 1266 01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 1: as a coordinator. Certainly he's got the chops to move 1267 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 1: up to that spot. But it's always good in your 1268 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: first year's coordinator has some guys that really know the score. Yeah, 1269 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 1: less less instruction, more refinement if you will with you know, well, yeah, 1270 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 1: you don't have to. You have to teach him how 1271 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 1: to cover a kick and how to have guys in 1272 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: and leverage and angles. And you know it's different because 1273 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 1: you know, you're they're playing in the big field. They're 1274 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 1: not in the backfield where the guys you know, got 1275 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: one direction. He's headed. Um, it's more like hurd and 1276 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 1: sheep than it is Yeah, it's more like hurd and 1277 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 1: sheep than it is wrestling bulls, you know. Yeah, let's 1278 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,840 Speaker 1: get back to the phones at eight oh three oh 1279 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,880 Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty, 1280 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,920 Speaker 1: where we're asking you what AFC personnel move might hurt 1281 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 1: the bills chances at the number one seed the most 1282 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,559 Speaker 1: whose moves by adding to play talent could impact the 1283 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: race for the AFC playoffs. We go back to the 1284 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 1: phones and we're gonna go to Ron and Lackawanna. Here, Ron, 1285 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,679 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one bills live. Hey, guys, 1286 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Good? Good? Um? First of all, 1287 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: I want to say, great show. The two guys were 1288 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 1: very well together and that oh thanks appreciate there. Okay, 1289 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 1: uh Miami series. He was all that Steve and that offense. 1290 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: Now I set. I'm saying they're gonna take over the Bills, 1291 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:35,160 Speaker 1: but I the speed. I worry about that right now. Yeah, 1292 01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 1: it is a concern. Um. Second of all, I wonder 1293 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 1: if you guys can check into this. Kevin King, he's 1294 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: a corner up there. As a free agent he was 1295 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: with Green Bay. I liked doing and when he was 1296 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,600 Speaker 1: being drafted and I was hoping the Bills could have 1297 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 1: got him in the second around that year. And the 1298 01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 1: other thing I want to know is they're white playing 1299 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,719 Speaker 1: in that game. We get kids seat in the regular 1300 01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 1: season game because yes, I remember right, yes he did. Yeah, 1301 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: hanging up and listen to you guys. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, 1302 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,800 Speaker 1: Turandavious did play in the first game against Kansas City 1303 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:13,519 Speaker 1: and hum, no, nobody for the Kansas City had Chiefs 1304 01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,760 Speaker 1: had a very good offensive day that that day they 1305 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,600 Speaker 1: were off. It was rain in that day. It was 1306 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,760 Speaker 1: it was yet another game the Bills had to play 1307 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 1: in the rain. The Bills came out with an enormous 1308 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,880 Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder and got the best of them. 1309 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,600 Speaker 1: They beat the Chiefs in Week five, worse than the 1310 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Bills in the championship game the you 1311 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:36,040 Speaker 1: know the year before. Um it was a runoff. So yeah, 1312 01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,719 Speaker 1: but Turdavious White did play in that game. As for 1313 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 1: Kevin King, the Packers free agent corner, very tall, very 1314 01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 1: long Cornery sixty three two hundred pounds, had a really 1315 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 1: good year in twenty nineteen at five interceptions, big in 1316 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:55,559 Speaker 1: the tackle game. Um was a was a valuable player 1317 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 1: for the Packers. The last two years, though, have been 1318 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: a bit of a struggle. He's had some injuries, has 1319 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:06,320 Speaker 1: missed some games, and his production has dropped off, and 1320 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 1: he struggled at times defending in the red zone. He 1321 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,000 Speaker 1: was often picked on, ding large part to the fact 1322 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:18,360 Speaker 1: that Jayra Alexander is on the other side. You know, 1323 01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty close to a tradevious white type situation. But 1324 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,880 Speaker 1: when he got picked on, particularly in the red zone, 1325 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,040 Speaker 1: there were times he would struggle, especially with receivers of 1326 01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 1: a shorter stature. They would get underneath his shoulder pads, 1327 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 1: turn him inside out, and because he is so high 1328 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 1: cut at six foot three, it was very difficult for 1329 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,760 Speaker 1: him to plaster receivers and stay with them because he 1330 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:46,240 Speaker 1: just didn't. Because he's so long levered, he just couldn't. 1331 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 1: He didn't have a short area quickness to change direction 1332 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,599 Speaker 1: down near the goal line, and he would often get 1333 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,599 Speaker 1: victimized for touchdowns in the red zone. I don't know 1334 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 1: if that's a turn off for the Bills or if 1335 01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,400 Speaker 1: that's something that could potentially appeal to them. We'll have 1336 01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 1: to wait and see um because at this point in 1337 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 1: free agency, there is talent still out there at the 1338 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 1: cornerback position. But right now it's a matter of what's 1339 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,400 Speaker 1: going to fit your system the best, because just about 1340 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 1: all of them that are still left on the free 1341 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,720 Speaker 1: agent market right now, they all have warts, right But 1342 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,920 Speaker 1: which ones have the warts that you can hide within 1343 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,320 Speaker 1: the scope of your scheme. I think that's the question 1344 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,040 Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself. So if the Bills believe 1345 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 1: with the what with what they call in the red 1346 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: zone defensively can cover up some of his deficiencies, namely 1347 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 1: short area quickness, change of direction because of the way 1348 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 1: they play help defense and such, well, then maybe they're 1349 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 1: interested in a guy like that. But if not, the 1350 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 1: last two years aren't supremely endearing in terms of what 1351 01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 1: he can bring to your defense. Yeah, he didn't play. 1352 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: I mean his great season was in I think nineteen 1353 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 1: where he had fifteen games. He played nice, played in 1354 01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:01,880 Speaker 1: around ten games in both seasons since then. Yeah, he 1355 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,920 Speaker 1: strikes you. Best case scenario for the Bills if if 1356 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:06,559 Speaker 1: he's sign a guy like that is that he just 1357 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,839 Speaker 1: needs to change the scenery and maybe a different defensive 1358 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 1: philosophy that accentuates what's what he does well, um rather 1359 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,479 Speaker 1: than what he does not do well. Bills play some 1360 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,559 Speaker 1: zone I mean they play a lot more zone they 1361 01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: do man, but they play both like every team does. Um, 1362 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: if he's got a skill set the Bills like, certainly 1363 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,439 Speaker 1: he's on their radar. And his size is something I 1364 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 1: think the Bills cove it. I think they like the guys. 1365 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 1: He's tall, but he's not physically powerful. I guess he's 1366 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,479 Speaker 1: only two hundred pounds, which sounds two. He's a little 1367 01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,639 Speaker 1: wire four, so he looks Yeah, he's got a lot 1368 01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,160 Speaker 1: of length, but he's yeah, a little bit so. Because 1369 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, you look at six three, two hundred and oh, 1370 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:50,920 Speaker 1: maybe there's a guy that you can match up with 1371 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,160 Speaker 1: some of the taller tight ends that can run. You 1372 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 1: put him on there. I don't know if he's physically 1373 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: strong enough. I think he gets muscle. He'll get muscled 1374 01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,679 Speaker 1: off the ball in those situations if he's going against 1375 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 1: a Gronk for example, or a Travis Kelsey. So I 1376 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,439 Speaker 1: think he's got to be the right fit for what 1377 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,639 Speaker 1: you do schematically, and I think that's why he's still 1378 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,439 Speaker 1: sitting out there right now, because I think there are 1379 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 1: a lot of teams that just might be unsure. But 1380 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 1: with each passing day, the cost of these free agent 1381 01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 1: corners continues to drop because they're going to want a 1382 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 1: chair to sit in when the music stops, and they 1383 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 1: know teams are running out of money, so they're gonna 1384 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 1: have to maybe make some concessions with what they're anticipated 1385 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: contract numbers were going to be at the start of 1386 01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,200 Speaker 1: free agency to where they are now as we're more 1387 01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 1: than a week into it with the market being opened, 1388 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:40,600 Speaker 1: so we'll see where the market goes from here. But 1389 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 1: as Sam Monson even mentioned Steve, the cornerback market as 1390 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 1: a whole is depressed. I mean J. C. Jackson was 1391 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 1: considered to be the top free agent corner and he 1392 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,960 Speaker 1: didn't even sign for absolute top of the market money. 1393 01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:56,559 Speaker 1: He didn't reset the market. He's down around the third 1394 01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 1: or fourth highest page. I kind of agree with Monson 1395 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 1: on that I think corners are really valuable players and 1396 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 1: the more you've got, the better you match up, just 1397 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 1: the better you hold up back there. Um. In today's NFL, 1398 01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:11,679 Speaker 1: I think I think they're more important than ever. Um. 1399 01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,200 Speaker 1: I certainly believe you win the game up front first 1400 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 1: and foremost. But as much effort that the Bills put 1401 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,760 Speaker 1: into that defensive line rotation and they got, they got 1402 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,400 Speaker 1: a You know, a bunch of a bunch of guys 1403 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:28,080 Speaker 1: up there and now some pretty good ones. I still wouldn't. 1404 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 1: I would still maybe be more optimistic about our defense 1405 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 1: if they put that into all the corners that we're 1406 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,840 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, Um, can you just have a bunch 1407 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:40,800 Speaker 1: of Schmall's back there? Right? You need some guys you've 1408 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 1: got poor year in hide and they do cover up 1409 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:48,679 Speaker 1: a multitude of problems. Uh that quarterbacks can se tarn 1410 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,040 Speaker 1: Johnson's great Tradevious White is great. Uh, you need him 1411 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 1: to be one hundred percent when he comes back, but 1412 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 1: he's great. Um, and you need one other guy like 1413 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace or better or better, and maybe another one 1414 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:08,639 Speaker 1: like Dane Jackson or better. So if they've I'm with Sam. 1415 01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:12,800 Speaker 1: I think cornerback is undervalued greatly. And as it sits today, 1416 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,639 Speaker 1: I've said it yesterday, the day before and today once 1417 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,320 Speaker 1: already I'll say it again as it sits right now, 1418 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 1: there's no way they don't pick a corner at twenty five. Now. 1419 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 1: It could change in three ways. Value's got to be 1420 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 1: right though, I Mean, that's what we're talking about here. 1421 01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 1: The more the more I'm hearing from you know, Draftnicks 1422 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,519 Speaker 1: and take their opinions for what they're worth. It doesn't 1423 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,759 Speaker 1: look like any of the top three corners are getting 1424 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 1: down to twenty five. There's just too many teams with 1425 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,840 Speaker 1: that need where they're not going to get one of 1426 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 1: the top three, and there is a drop off after 1427 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 1: the top three. The question is how far does that 1428 01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 1: drop go? Does it take? Does it take the fourth 1429 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 1: corner off the first round board for the Bills or 1430 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,840 Speaker 1: do they have them still on the first round board. 1431 01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,040 Speaker 1: If they do, then yet they're probably taking a corner. 1432 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 1: But if their fourth best corner is ranked somewhere in 1433 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,680 Speaker 1: the top half of round two, they're not taking him 1434 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,560 Speaker 1: at twenty five. I'll say this far be it for 1435 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 1: me to disagree with experts, because they do see a 1436 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,200 Speaker 1: lot more film than I do. They keep but here's 1437 01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,479 Speaker 1: the thing. When you get that drop off they talk 1438 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 1: about to me, that can be washed completely away and 1439 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: even reversed in some cases by the scheme the kid 1440 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,759 Speaker 1: gets drafted into both ways, we number one, the top 1441 01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,200 Speaker 1: two or one, two or three corners in this draft 1442 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:33,000 Speaker 1: may not fare as well in the NFL as the three, 1443 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,040 Speaker 1: four and five or the four, five and six corners 1444 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,040 Speaker 1: in this draft. Strictly based on where they get drafted, too, 1445 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,679 Speaker 1: and that's my team, that's my guess, that's my opinion. 1446 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,080 Speaker 1: So the Bills shouldn't shy away from taking like Tarik 1447 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 1: Woolen who's projected as a fortieth guy, or Roger McCreery 1448 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,760 Speaker 1: or Kobe Bryant. Uh, don't be afraid to take any 1449 01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,760 Speaker 1: of those guys up around twenty five if you think 1450 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 1: he fits your game perfectly, because that elevates him and 1451 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: it has him doing the exact right thing. So I'm yeah, 1452 01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,679 Speaker 1: and they're right. I get the I get the reflects. 1453 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I get the drop off, but I'm not 1454 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sold on that it's accurate for all thirty 1455 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,120 Speaker 1: two teams. All right, that's fair. I can go along 1456 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:20,880 Speaker 1: with that. We have to take a break. We're way over, 1457 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,040 Speaker 1: but we'll be back in a second with some of 1458 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 1: your comments on the tweet sheet, as well as more 1459 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,679 Speaker 1: of your phone calls. Here on one Bill's Live, presented 1460 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:41,559 Speaker 1: by Collat of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio Bills fans, 1461 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: you could win a von Miller autographed helmet. Say walk, 1462 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 1: download the Bills app click on the Enternal banner for 1463 01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:54,439 Speaker 1: your chance to win presented by M and T. Bank. 1464 01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Guy hasn't even hit the field yet, you know, autographed 1465 01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,679 Speaker 1: helmet pretty good. We want to get to the tweet 1466 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: sheet where we've been asking you today what AFC personnel 1467 01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,559 Speaker 1: move could most hurt the bills chances at the number 1468 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,040 Speaker 1: one seed for the playoffs come this fall. Jr. Is 1469 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,400 Speaker 1: going to lead us off today and he said none, 1470 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: but it could improve their squads. A healthy Buffalo is 1471 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 1: not worried about the others in the division. The biggest 1472 01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:24,560 Speaker 1: threat to Buffalo is probably the Chargers or the Raiders. Interesting, 1473 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:31,759 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have been forgotten. What about the Bengals? Sure? 1474 01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,720 Speaker 1: Throw them in you know, or in the Chiefs and 1475 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, Okay, Yeah, that's fine. I agree with him. 1476 01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 1: A healthy Bills team is the favorite in about every 1477 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 1: game they walk into. At this point, they got to 1478 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 1: be the favorite. Is there a team maybe you're going 1479 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 1: and eat? Yeah? Tell world champion walking into LA today 1480 01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,800 Speaker 1: with that. They they don't have OBJ or Robert or 1481 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,599 Speaker 1: von Miller. We'd got von Miller. Who's the favorite? Yeah? 1482 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 1: We are, we are right sure? Green Bay, Tampa Bay? 1483 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 1: Do you think Tampa Bay is favorite over Buffalo? May 1484 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,280 Speaker 1: depend on where the game's played. If it's played here 1485 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, you think we're the favorite. I'll bet you 1486 01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 1: we are, yes, if it's played down there. See here's 1487 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 1: the thing. No, you can find your way to saying 1488 01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:32,840 Speaker 1: the Bills made themselves better this offseason. You can find 1489 01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 1: your way to that rum. Overall. You know, you may argue, 1490 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,240 Speaker 1: are they better at corner lost Levi whatever. You can 1491 01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 1: argue that better pass rush. You could argue they might 1492 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,400 Speaker 1: even be better on the defensive interior with the big 1493 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 1: ye with the big old fellas they signed here, Jordan Phillips, 1494 01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 1: the Quan Jones and Tim Settle. It's pretty nice trio. 1495 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: I like it. I was telling Brandon being here earlier 1496 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 1: this week when we had him in studio. You've got 1497 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,200 Speaker 1: some You got some pile movers there, man, Those guys 1498 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 1: aren't given up ground at the line of scrimmagem offensive line. 1499 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:08,920 Speaker 1: You still have some things up in the air there 1500 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:10,639 Speaker 1: a little bit. But your two tackles in your center 1501 01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,400 Speaker 1: are pretty darn good. And you got a veteran guard 1502 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,519 Speaker 1: that's just went to the Pro Bowl last year. Is 1503 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 1: a thirty two five or set you got Darryl Williams. No, 1504 01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,840 Speaker 1: you don't, Oh, no, he's gone, yeah, you got you 1505 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:22,679 Speaker 1: got something up in the air. There's right. So that's 1506 01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: the one and tight end is deeper. Wide receiver is 1507 01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:31,639 Speaker 1: a stand pad situation. At worst, I would argue Crowder 1508 01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:36,799 Speaker 1: as a more versatile player than Beasley m mackenzie's back. Yeah. 1509 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 1: So you can make the argument pretty easily that the 1510 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:45,040 Speaker 1: Bills made themselves better this offseason, and they were already 1511 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 1: considered a top AFC contender. So yeah, yeah, I could 1512 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:49,800 Speaker 1: see them being a favorite in just about every game 1513 01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,080 Speaker 1: they play, no problem. Mark on the tweet sheet says 1514 01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,559 Speaker 1: Finns will be a completely different team offensively this year, 1515 01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:03,400 Speaker 1: and that's scary. I gotta tell you, Steve, they got 1516 01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: some guys I know that. Yeah. Even more than the 1517 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 1: passing game, I'm interested to see how quickly McDaniel is 1518 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,560 Speaker 1: able to institute the Shanahan running offense, because that is 1519 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 1: a problem for just about everybody. I mean that that 1520 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:22,000 Speaker 1: run scheme has been productive with a number of different clubs. 1521 01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 1: How quickly can he get that kicked into gear? And 1522 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,320 Speaker 1: does he have enough of the lineman he needs to 1523 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 1: make that work. They already added a fullback, so you 1524 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 1: know it's coming. Is their offensive line going to execute 1525 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: the Shanahan offensive run game better than the Bill's new 1526 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:40,200 Speaker 1: defensive line stops it. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. 1527 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll be able to do that 1528 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: right away. I don't think it's a week one matchup 1529 01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, but yeah, it's going to be an 1530 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,720 Speaker 1: issue because that's a it's a proven system when you 1531 01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 1: got guys that can run it, and it doesn't really 1532 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 1: matter what running back you've got, they can plug and 1533 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,840 Speaker 1: play those guys. They've proven that over the years. Mcau 1534 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,640 Speaker 1: shannangan play. You know, Charlie Bag of Donuts gets the 1535 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,679 Speaker 1: ball in that offense, Andreas says, the Bills have owned 1536 01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 1: the Dolphins lately, but not anymore. That offense with or 1537 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,000 Speaker 1: without two it will be scary good hill and waddle 1538 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 1: or No, Joe can't take him lightly anymore. I wonder 1539 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 1: if how much credence Bills fans give to the because 1540 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:24,680 Speaker 1: because there's no there is no fear of Tua in 1541 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 1: the Bills fan base. What about Teddy Bridgewater? No, he's 1542 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,559 Speaker 1: a slightly above average quarterback. How good you gotta be 1543 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,680 Speaker 1: with those with those weapons? You know, that's the thing 1544 01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 1: to maximize the weapons. You need a good trigger man, 1545 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 1: so we'll see. Yeah, Jeremy says, I personally think the 1546 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 1: Bills are the only ones that will hurt themselves as 1547 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,160 Speaker 1: the number one seed. They need to play their best 1548 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:52,000 Speaker 1: against all teams this season. Can't lose to a two 1549 01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 1: win team like Jacksonville this coming year and expect the 1550 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,719 Speaker 1: number one seed. That's right. Truer words have never been spoken. 1551 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 1: Yeah that was Yeah, I was a killer. It was 1552 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 1: a crush. It's the difference between being at home against 1553 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,639 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and being on the road. Absolute crusher. There's 1554 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:12,120 Speaker 1: no there's no getting around it. Yeah, the thirteen seconds 1555 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,040 Speaker 1: never happens if that's the case. Dinah says, I think 1556 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 1: the biggest question about the Bills and the number one 1557 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,840 Speaker 1: seed is less moves on other teams and more how 1558 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:23,640 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey will handle his new responsibilities. A lot is 1559 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,840 Speaker 1: up in the air for the team. I don't know. 1560 01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 1: If I would call it up in the air, I 1561 01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 1: would just say it's unknown. Yeah that may be what 1562 01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: she means, but yes, you're right, Yeah, up in the 1563 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:37,680 Speaker 1: air makes it sound like, well, I don't know if 1564 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,439 Speaker 1: it's gonna work. I'll say this, I think it's gonna work. 1565 01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:45,879 Speaker 1: How effectively it'll work is the question. If it exceeds 1566 01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 1: up to expectations and the Bills come out and play 1567 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,519 Speaker 1: like gangbusters right out of the gate. Part of the 1568 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,840 Speaker 1: reason is going to be the unpredictable nature of Ken 1569 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 1: Dorsey's play calling, how he likes to see the game, 1570 01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,599 Speaker 1: how well they adjust as a new coaching staff, how 1571 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,760 Speaker 1: why they communicate on the sidelines between series. Can they 1572 01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 1: be nimble enough with a new offensive coordinator to make 1573 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,799 Speaker 1: adjustments on the fly and get it to their players 1574 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 1: in the huddle with them prepared to adjust and change 1575 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 1: on the fly. It's a lot to ask. It's a 1576 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,000 Speaker 1: big ask, but that's the way, that's the atmosphere in 1577 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:23,599 Speaker 1: the NFL. You gotta be able to do that, and 1578 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey knows it, so that their ability to do 1579 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 1: that is a question mark. But if they can, they're 1580 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna get some traction because nobody's gonna have seen this 1581 01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,360 Speaker 1: offense play like that before, because they're gonna have a 1582 01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,479 Speaker 1: different play caller and it changes things. We have to 1583 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,280 Speaker 1: take a break here, Steve and I to close things 1584 01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 1: up next on One Bills Live. Stay tuned, all right, 1585 01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back One Bills Live Here on a Thursday, just 1586 01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,120 Speaker 1: about done for the day. And I would say the 1587 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:04,120 Speaker 1: overwhelming response that we got from the callers today and 1588 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:08,280 Speaker 1: the tweeters for that matter, is I think from a 1589 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,760 Speaker 1: fan perspective, they're not taking the Dolphins lightly anymore. I 1590 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,960 Speaker 1: don't think the Bill has ever taken an opponent lightly 1591 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:19,960 Speaker 1: per se. Coach McDermot really doesn't allow for that. I 1592 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 1: do think that the Dolphins are a tougher out, so 1593 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. The rest of the landscape of 1594 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,479 Speaker 1: the AFC is just going to have to play itself 1595 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,040 Speaker 1: out because you're not going to see them up close 1596 01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,200 Speaker 1: and personal. The only team from the AFC West you're 1597 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,120 Speaker 1: playing is Kansas City, and you could argue they're weaker. 1598 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 1: The only team from the AFC South you're going to 1599 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 1: see is Tennessee and they might be weaker Natty, Yeah. 1600 01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 1: And then you got the whole AFC North. Yeah. So 1601 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 1: what is Baltimore gonna look like? I mean, they've lost 1602 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 1: some defensive players, they have a new defensive coordinator. There's 1603 01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 1: some I mean, the Bills have undergone some changes, but 1604 01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,719 Speaker 1: so is everybody else. Landscape has changed. I think there's 1605 01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,720 Speaker 1: you might you'd be hard pressed I think to say 1606 01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 1: the Bills got worse. Certainly, they've got some some thin 1607 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 1: spots still on their roster, but a long way to go. 1608 01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:12,320 Speaker 1: The moves they've made, though, they've strengthened a lot of 1609 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:13,720 Speaker 1: places where they were weak, and it's going to be 1610 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,240 Speaker 1: fun to watch them take it out. Steve's off tomorrow. 1611 01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,880 Speaker 1: I've got Thad Brown in here with me for Friday show. 1612 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: We'll have Greg co Sell and O. J. Howard joining us. 1613 01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:29,920 Speaker 1: We'll see a one
