00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,600

27
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: The wow, we got a break in the weather. It's

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: in the twenties this morning. It's like, wow, I just

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: go out and play golf. I know, now it feels

31
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: good to kind of start taking a deep breath and

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know.

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: I guess Bills fans are like this too.

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: You start your eyes, your attention starts to go forward instead.

35
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 4: Of backwards, right and nature.

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting stuff going on everywhere though. The new coaching

37
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: staff is getting fleshed out. They're bringing they're still bringing

38
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: people into.

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: The building, and you're.

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Starting to think about some really nuts and bolts of

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: starting to build the roster back and what they're doing.

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: And now it's fun to go back and now you're

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: getting all this power rankings for this coming season, right

44
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: for where the Bills sitting out. You know, the Bills

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: are still the top ten and somebody they got them

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: as high as five in one of the rankings I saw.

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: So there's still a lot of respect for the club

48
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: around the league. But you know, the narrative is going

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: to be there's a lot of pressure on Joe. There's

50
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Joe to get to get

51
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: it right really quick.

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: Definitely. I mean, you have a candidate in house that

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: knows what success looks like here and has been a

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: part of it since twenty twenty two, has a great

55
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: relationship with this quarterback, has installed an offense that's ranked

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 2: top five and several statistical categories across the board since

57
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: he took over calling plays. And you have a team

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: that's a couple pieces away every year form making a

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: big push, a play here, a play there that goes

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: their way, and this season is completely different. So yeah,

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: there is an expectation that we believe with some tweaks here,

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: some tweaks there, whether that be scheme based, whether that

63
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: be player based, that we can make it to the

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: super Bowl. Right right, We're going to dive into some

65
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: news and notes from around the NFL. Before we do that,

66
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: I want to set the stage for the show today.

67
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Coming up at two o'clock, we have Dan Pezuda from

68
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Yahoo Sports joining the show. Our question for you today is,

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: now that is officially the NFL season, where does your

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: go first? Is that towards a certain player, a position group,

71
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: a draft prospect that you love, something that has to

72
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: happen with scheme on this roster. The Bills hired defensive

73
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: coordinator Jim Leonard, and the Bills are looking to move

74
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: to a four to three look to a three four look.

75
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: There's a different scheme within that what players fit that scheme?

76
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: So we want to hear from you on where does

77
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: your mind go first now that the NFL offseason has

78
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: officially begun. I feel like this week for us Steve

79
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: has been the first week since the Bills season ended

80
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: that it doesn't feel like there's a bunch of stuff

81
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: going on. There was the hiring of Joe Brady, then

82
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: you had all the coaching announcements we heard from the

83
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: offensive cordator, defensive coordinator, and special teams coordinator last week,

84
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: and this week it seems like right now there's not

85
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: too much happening at one Bill's Drive.

86
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's this sense of all right, but now.

87
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: All the guys that are new to the building and

88
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: or the people we don't know about anyway, all the

89
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: quality control people, the scouts, all the people behind the scenes.

90
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: They're all in their rooms right watching film of college

91
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: guys getting ready for the combine in a couple of weeks,

92
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: having meetings about who they really need, who they like

93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: on their roster, who's imperative for them to keep, who

94
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: they can restruct the.

95
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: Whole thing from soup to nuts and all.

96
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: It's nothing but meetings, meetings, meetings and film film films.

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: That's why it seems quite here because everybody's locked in.

98
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: Everybody turned into a mushroom.

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: They're in a dark room, you know, and they're you know,

100
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: they got this the clicker in their hand, watching film.

101
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: It's it's, you know, like study hall basically is what

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: it is, ye with the quick coffee breaks to have

103
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: a meeting about what about this guy and that, you know,

104
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: conversations about what do we really need at this spot here,

105
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: who's out there, and what is the likelihood we've already

106
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: got mocked you're gonna you've got mock drafts.

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: You're already monitoring. Oh my gosh.

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: So this is it's the time of year when you're

109
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a blank slate even in

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: your even your ability to be a fan.

111
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you don't know what it's gonna look like,

112
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: and you want to wait till you see some sort

113
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: of the picture coming together before you have hard, fast

114
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: opinions on how you feel like the team's going to

115
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: do in the twenty twenty sixth season. But let's get

116
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: into around the NFL's presented by Clyde Healthy, official healthcare

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills, and coming out of the

118
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 2: Super Bowls some news about injuries. We heard from Patriots

119
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: quarterback Drake May saying that he won't need a procedure

120
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: done on his right shoulder this offseason. Time is the

121
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: best healer, May said to reporters. May was on the

122
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: injury report leading up to the Super Bowl, but was

123
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: a full participant during that week. So Patriots quarterback Drake

124
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: May looking to move into the off season not needing

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: a surgery and able to heal with time. Obviously, you

126
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: would think you go into the off season with some

127
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: sort of an injury, you're gonna take some time to

128
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: make sure your body feels right before you pick up

129
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: a football again.

130
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: One of the things about that's been reported to is

131
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: may got a little bit of a pain injection before

132
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: the game, just to and that that's not as drastic

133
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: as it might sound to a lot of people. You

134
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: think they're gonna they he couldn't play without it, but

135
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: actually it just gives him a chance to not to

136
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: concentrate on something other than the injury. It takes the

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: pain down, It doesn't make it numb in any way,

138
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: shape or form. It takes the edge off the pain

139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: so that he can still feel it. So if he

140
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: got hurt further or if something happened, he would still

141
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: be able to feel that. But he can function fully

142
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: without them, you know, with the injury. But that's something

143
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: that just came out in the last day or two,

144
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: and so it's you know, at that time of year. Yeah, ever,

145
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean you can imagine if if the Bills had

146
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: been there, you know, Josh would have been busted foot totally,

147
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, so whole thing. So you gotta do what

148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: you gotta do. And I mean, I I've been in

149
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: that boat. That's that's just a foregone conclusion. You didn't

150
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: do what it takes to get on the field totally.

151
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: Patriots left tackle Will Campbell says he tore a ligament

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: in his knee this season and wasn't one hundred percent

153
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. Per local reporters, Campbell had a tough

154
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: game against the Seahawks. Drake May was sacked six times

155
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: also had fourteen quarterback pressures on May. I want to

156
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: say so it was a game where the Seahawks defense

157
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: was breathing down their necks and Will Campbell unfortunately caught

158
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: a lot of that.

159
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was, Yeah, he had a bad game. There's

160
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: just yeah, he'll tell you that, and it's it's true.

161
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: And then to make it worse for Will Campbell to

162
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: be out there, you're not one hundred percent, You feel terrible.

163
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: You can't play good, but you can't. You're trying to

164
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: do what you can't. You're trying to win a super

165
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: Bowl and you can't play your best because you're physically

166
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: unable to. And it's you can imagine the mental anguish

167
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: for three hours, Will Campbell was under getting just getting

168
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: his head handed to him when he couldn't do anything

169
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: about it. In normal circumstances, he would have done much better.

170
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: You just feel that way as a player. And whether

171
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: he would have whether he would have had an awesome

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: game or not. At least he would have felt better

173
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: about it and been able to use his entire repertoire

174
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: of tools physical tools to help himself. And you just can't.

175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the guy. He declined to speak

176
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: after the game.

177
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: Had tears and.

178
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: He said today now he has spoken, and he said,

179
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, he obviously told me he wasn't wasn't one

180
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: hundred percent, And he said he didn't want to speak

181
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: because he was gonna he would have said something he

182
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: would have regretted in the post game if he wouldn't

183
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: have let himself calm down. So he said, now I'm

184
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: not going to talk until a day or two, and

185
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: so he did that. So I you know young guys

186
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, you feel bad for him. Drake

187
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: May is the same way. And I know Bills fans

188
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: have no love loss for any of the Patriot players.

189
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, you pressure a guy like they pressured Drake May,

190
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: everybody looks bad. So I think the reports of Drake

191
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: May's demise and complete mediocrity are a little bit exaggerated.

192
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 4: I mean, he may not.

193
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: I do think Matt Stafford was the MVP, but Drake

194
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: May did have a very good season. Yeah, man, that

195
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: that's a tough way to go into the offseason. Believe

196
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: me from taking from a guy who knows after losing

197
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, it's a long off season.

198
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 2: May was one of the most efficient passers for the

199
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five season. If any NFL teams need a

200
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: tight end, there may be one hitting the market pretty shortly.

201
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: Tight end David Joku is set to become a free

202
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: agent in March, and he's made it clear he's done

203
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: with Cleveland, and Joku took to Instagram to write Cleveland,

204
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: first off, I love you, then went on to say

205
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: he's so grateful for all the memories and finished with

206
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: the time for me to find a new home. Has come.

207
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Played nine seasons with the Browns. In twenty twenty five,

208
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: he had thirty three catches, two hundred ninety three yards

209
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: and four touchdowns. It'll be interesting to see if any

210
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: other players are making it known that they would like

211
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: to move on from the Cleveland Browns and go elsewhere.

212
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Well, not even the Cleveland Browns, every team, right, I mean,

213
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: the whole league is going to be full of free

214
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: agents and this is right.

215
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: This is as as exciting.

216
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: Of a time as the draft is because you know

217
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: what these guys are as pros. You've seen them play

218
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: against the same people you're trying to win and win against.

219
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: So it's fun to think about guys in your you

220
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: know that would be how they would fit in your team.

221
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: So that'll be fun.

222
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: Yep I said Cleveland because you know Miles Garrett had

223
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: the whole offseason, everyone was wondering where's he going, what's

224
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: going on? Said he didn't want to be back in Cleveland.

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Ends back up in Cleveland. Some interesting news sad news too.

226
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers defensive end Keon White was shot in

227
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 2: his ankle Monday morning and underwent surgery, according to the team.

228
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: The team statement read that White was a victim of

229
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: a shooting and sustained a bullet wound to his ankle

230
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Monday morning in San Francisco. He's currently undergoing surgery at

231
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: a local hospital. That statement was released yesterday. The injuries

232
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: sustained are not considered to be life threatening nor career ending.

233
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: White had eighteen tackles, a second a half and six

234
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: quarterback hits in the twenty twenty five season. The Raiders

235
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: are also making it official announcing Clint Kubiak as their

236
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: new head coach, doing so on Monday afternoon. They're giving

237
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 2: him a five year contract. The team will introduce Kubiak

238
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: as their newest head coach at a press conference and

239
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: scheduled later for this afternoon. He'll be the Raiders' fifth

240
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: head coach since twenty twenty one, fifth full term head

241
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: coach since twenty twenty one. That's a big number in

242
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: just a few seasons. The Raiders went They're and fourteen

243
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: last year, but have some nice pieces that you can

244
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: build around some younger players and Brock Bauers and Ashton.

245
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: Gent probably won't have their pass rusher, mister Max Crosby.

246
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, he said, he's it's been reported, he said,

247
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: I am done here, although he doesn't get to choose

248
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: right unless the Raiders succumb.

249
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: To his denais.

250
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, they do have some players there that it's

251
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: the cupboard's not bere although I don't know about you know,

252
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't know about the quarterback situation. But yeah, they've

253
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: got Gino Smith is just a guy, I think, and

254
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where it starts. But we'll see Clint Kubiak.

255
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: We thought it was coming, and here it is. Finally,

256
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see because that's a name a

257
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of Bills fans thought might have a chance of

258
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: becoming the Bills. But but you know, quite frankly, I

259
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: don't think anybody wanted to wait that long, this long, right,

260
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: But it'll be interesting. It'll be interesting to see. I

261
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: have a feeling it hasn't all been about the head

262
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: coaches in Las Vegas.

263
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit about the leadership there.

264
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: But we'll see.

265
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: And the Raiders have the first overall pick in the

266
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty sixth draft. So here you go, Clint Kubiak,

267
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: new new head coaching job, and you get the first

268
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: overall pick. What are you gonna do with it? Kubiak

269
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: has bounced around the league since twenty thirteen, working with

270
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: teams like the Vikings, Broncos, forty nine Ers, Saints, and Seahawks.

271
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: Just when you thought the new season, twenty twenty sixth

272
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: season couldn't be talked about, you know enough in terms

273
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: of as we move forward, a long way off looking

274
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: and looking forward to what the Bills are going to

275
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: do in free agency and beyond, we already have a

276
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: way too early power rankings just off of the end

277
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty five season, with the Super Bowl

278
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: finishing up this past Sunday. So this is coming from

279
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: ESPN these way two early power rankings, and I'm gonna

280
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: hit you guys with the top five. Number one. I

281
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: don't know if you'll be surprised by this at all,

282
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: the Seahawks number two.

283
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: Basically, this is these playoffs in reverse order.

284
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, number two, the Patriots and coming in at number three,

285
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams, number four, the Denver Broncos. And where

286
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: are the Buffalo Bills? You ask? They're at number five.

287
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: So this article had three words for each team in

288
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: the off season. For Buffalo those three words where pressure

289
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: is on. Lena Getzenberg, who contributed to the article, wrote,

290
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: with Sean mcgers firing firing after the team's overtime loss

291
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: in the divisional round, the expectations are high for what

292
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: new head coach Joe Brady and president of football operations

293
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: in general manager Brandon Bean can do to help quarterback

294
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen reach and win a Super Bowl. That all

295
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: starts now, as the decisions made this offseason and the

296
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: draft and free agency will go a long way in

297
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: determining how successful Alan is for years to come. So

298
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Bills are top five in the way too early power

299
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: rankings as we head into the off season. Do with

300
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: that what you want?

301
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

302
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: And it Yeah, there's and I think this is obviously

303
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: there's not too much to go on because so much

304
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: is going to change in the next six months or

305
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: all these rosters name you know, good players are going

306
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: to switch teams. Guys are gonna get traded, Guys are

307
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna picked up in free agency. Teams are going to

308
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: sign guys that are impressive or at least show signs

309
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: of hope. I thought it was interesting, Yet, like this

310
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: keeps crossing my mind. We had the little conversation yesterday

311
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: about Derek Carr. He's back healthy, working out and can

312
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: throw and wants to play. Don't the Jets have to

313
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: look look at him. Don't they have to bring a

314
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: guy like that because he's His leadership is really The

315
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: stuff he brings to the table in the intangibles apartment

316
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: is really top notch. Whether you like him as a

317
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: quarterback on the field or not. The guy helps a

318
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: locker room and it's part of what the Jets need

319
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: at this point in history, trying to change the entire

320
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: culture right, So I'm maybe this is uh that that's

321
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: what these power rankings don't get stuff like that. Derek

322
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Carr is going to land somewhere, right, and you know,

323
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: then you got Mendoza coming out of college who's going

324
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: to probably go to the Raiders. All that stuff that

325
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: goes into the mix. It's, uh, yeah, this is gonna

326
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: be really interesting. But it I'm I'm still thinking that

327
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: the Bill are going to be in top ten. You

328
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: throughout the offseason. Josh makes sure that their offense and

329
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: their continuity makes sure that, but their assessment is probably right.

330
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: The pressure is on, particularly from outside the Bill.

331
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. I mean they're.

332
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I think fans outside of Bill's mafia. Well not that

333
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia's not, but I think they're impatient see the Bills.

334
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Either do something, do something, get to a Super Bowl

335
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: please kind of thing, yeah, or shut.

336
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 4: Up you know Bills fans, right. I think there's that

337
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 4: kind of pressure from the outside world looking at it.

338
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: And part of the reason because of that is, you know,

339
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: Josh Allen next year is going to be in his

340
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: ninth NFL season. Your your quarterbacking career does not last forever,

341
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 2: and as time will tell you if you get into

342
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: the the high upper teams, you've had a pretty good

343
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: run in the NFL. Right, so you think about year nine,

344
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: does that mean he's about halfway through with his NFL

345
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 2: career if you want to throw numbers out there. In

346
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 2: this Power Rankings article that they had the Chiefs at

347
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: number twelve. The three words for the Chiefs in the

348
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: offseason was restart the load, Restart the reload. So it says, well,

349
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: quarterback Patrick Mahomes rehabs his left knee, coach Andy Reid

350
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: and general manager Brent Veach have to improve the roster

351
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: to better support their quarterback. The Chiefs need to have

352
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: an off season similar to twenty twenty two, which continued

353
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: the franchise's dynastic run. With a rare top ten draft pick.

354
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: You don't see the Chiefs up there in the top

355
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: ten often with a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes and what

356
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: they have done in the recent future. Baltimore Ravens will

357
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: also be up there in the draft picks, not that

358
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: they're going to have a top five pick, but there's

359
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: some AFC teams who will have higher draft picks than

360
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: normal because of where they finished during the season.

361
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 5: That.

362
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Bills fans will be interested

363
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 2: to see who they are picking and how big of

364
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: a difference is that player going to make in year

365
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 2: one on their teams, these teams being AFC teams who

366
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: are kind of lined up right around where the Bills

367
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: are lined up in power rankings and talent level as

368
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: to is this one player or is this whole draft

369
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 2: hall going to put you over the top. Who's going

370
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: to be harder to compete against In the twenty twenty

371
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: sixth season, You're gonna see the Ravens.

372
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: And it's going to be hard to pick the Bills

373
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: as accurately as maybe they've been able to in the

374
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: past because of the unknowns of the other side of

375
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: the ball from Josh the defense. It's gonna be a

376
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: wholesale change, or at least it's sounding that way, and

377
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot of new players, a lot of unknowns. I

378
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: think it's going to a lot of It is going

379
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: to depend on free agency.

380
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 4: The guys they get that people will know about.

381
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't think even if you get a high draft

382
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 1: pick and you get the guy in the draft that

383
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: everybody thinks you should get, I don't think that moves

384
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: then as a rookie coming in, but some veteran free

385
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: agents who really do have some a resume at this level,

386
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: that does move the needle, I think because the young

387
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: guys are such an unknown. So I think this free

388
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: agency period is really going to have a lot to

389
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: say about the whole offseason narrative for the Bills and

390
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: how it proceeds.

391
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, what we're looking for is the salary cap number

392
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: to come out for Brandon Bean to talk to media,

393
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: which he will at the NFL Scouting Combine to hear

394
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: where are you as it relates to the cap? How

395
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: much work do you have to do? Brandon Bean did

396
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: acknowledge the last time he spoke to media that they

397
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: are going to have to do some work to get

398
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: under the cap, hoping that that cap number is bigger

399
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: than they're anticipating, but they want to probably anticipate as

400
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 2: low as it's going to be in hopes that you

401
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 2: get an extra ten million dollars to work with.

402
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's going to be right around three

403
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: hundred million bucks.

404
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 4: That's a pretty big number money, a lot of money.

405
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: So our question for you today, now that it's officially

406
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: the NFL offseason, where does your mind go. First, let's

407
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: jump into the tweet sheet. It's presented by Corgan Moving Systems,

408
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and

409
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: Darryl says, get two receivers, either through a combo of

410
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: free agency, in the draft or draft two with premium picks.

411
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Either way, solidify that room for the next few years

412
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: of Josh's career. Every other move can be dedicated to

413
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: the defense. It's an interesting thought process of, Hey, if

414
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: you're going to go wide receiver this offseason, at some point,

415
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: is it worth grabbing a wide receiver in free agency

416
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: that yes, you're going to have to be able to afford,

417
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: but maybe a wide receiver who's a proven talent versus

418
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: getting one in the NFL draft and wondering how long

419
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: is it going to take to develop set talent?

420
00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that wide receivers is a unique position because

421
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: because there is a huge number of them coming out

422
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: every year.

423
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 4: Athletes gravity.

424
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: If you're not gonna play quarterback and you're an athlete

425
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: on offense, not everybody's built like Saquon Barkley, right, So

426
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: they can't be running back.

427
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 4: They got to be wide out.

428
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: So that's one skill position that on the offensive side,

429
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: you can get a wide range of physical attributes. You

430
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: can go all the way from six to five down

431
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: to you know, five to five or five eight, anyway.

432
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: Five to nine.

433
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: Uh, if you've got the speed and this athleticism. So

434
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guys gravitate to that spot. So there's

435
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: there's usually a long menu of guys you can go

436
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: out and sign, and there's a large draft class coming

437
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: in most years, and most years it's top heavy as well.

438
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: There's a there's a line of demarcation where these guys

439
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: are all gonna be like right away, gonna be good.

440
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: So the and I get that. I get the conversation

441
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: we've been having in Buffalo for a while now about

442
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: let's go get a guy, let's get again. But the

443
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: thought process is there's so many of them you should

444
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: be able to get one without using a one or

445
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: on in free agency, which the Bills have tried to do.

446
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: It's never really worked out at the wide receiver spot

447
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: because of injuries basically, and none of the guys they

448
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: signed last year could stay healthy for even two weeks,

449
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: so it was a pretty frustrating year. It's man, I

450
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: get if there's a guy on the board when if

451
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: you're picking at twenty six or twenty five, I think

452
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: twenty six, yeah, I think you take him. But usually,

453
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: and we've seen it in the last two years in particular,

454
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: those guys are gone.

455
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: And this year why those guys could be gone way

456
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: before the Bills pick at twenty six is you have

457
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: Fernando Menzoza projected to go number one overall, and that

458
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: could be the only quarterback that goes in the first round. Yes,

459
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: you might get a team that tries to jump into

460
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: one of the last couple picks to have the benefits

461
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: of drafting a first round quarterback, but they're not. It's

462
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: not gonna be like drafts in the past where the

463
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 2: whole first round is thrown off and a lot of

464
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: these premier positions or premier players could be bumped down

465
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: five positions because you have four quarterbacks going off the

466
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: board within the first twenty.

467
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: Picks, right, that's right.

468
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: So you could see wide receiver.

469
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: You're talking about Ford early, you're talking about at number one,

470
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: where these guys come in and I say there's a

471
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: long list of and there is. I mean, you can

472
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: get really good guy like Puka Nakua was a mid

473
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: round pick kind of thing. But the guys who are

474
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: can't miss prospects, they're gone by the time you get

475
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: to the end of the first round.

476
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 4: So I think.

477
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: You're either going to have to pivot and go to

478
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: a different a different position, or move up if you

479
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: want to do that. But man, oh man, you better

480
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: be really sure that the guy is the right guy.

481
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: And if you're looking at free agent wide receivers and

482
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: are wondering, well, who's out there, the biggest name is

483
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 2: Mike Evans. Do you have that type of money to

484
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: pay Mike Evans? How much does Mike Evans want to

485
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: stay with the Bucks? He's been pretty these when you

486
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: think about him as a wide receiver. He is a

487
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buck through and through, and I think is

488
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: a pretty loyal player. You got Christian Kirk, Deebo, Samuel

489
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: too too at well, Juwan Jennings, Rashid Shaheed, DeAndre Hopkins,

490
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen, Jahan Donson, Alec Pierce is on the list

491
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: as well, Sky Moore, Wandel Robinson. So there's some names.

492
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: What do you what do you want? Though some of

493
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: these I don't know how much of the Bills would

494
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 2: want to pay for a wide receiver, and who knows

495
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: if they think it's worth going after one in free agency.

496
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: Maybe they believe it's worth doing it in free agency

497
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: and in the NFL draft, or maybe they really like

498
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: what's in the NFL Draft. We don't know. That picture

499
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: is going to start to become more clear once a

500
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: free agency begins on March eleventh.

501
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Right, I mean you've got got also guys like Christian Kirk.

502
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: You know, Deebo Samuel is going to be a free agent.

503
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: As you see him halfway down that list, he's he's

504
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: starting to bounce around. But all these guys, now, I'm

505
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed uh just finished up with Seattle in the

506
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You know, DeAndre Hopkins is out there. But

507
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, hard for me to get my mind around

508
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: some of these guys who are going to like come

509
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: in and just be transformative.

510
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: I don't see him. I think you've got to.

511
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: I think you got a trade for a guy who's

512
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: who wants out of another situation.

513
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 2: Where are you on team trade for a guy?

514
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 4: I am? I am engineering the.

515
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: Team trade for a guy sign up right behind Steve Tasker.

516
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: That's right, I'm the trade for a guy train.

517
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: Chow.

518
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: He's the conductory guy.

519
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: Somebody actually wants, you know, yeah, because and that's that's

520
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: what you got.

521
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: I'll say, Juwan Jennings on that list I would be

522
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: a fan of. He's he's a he's a dog, he's

523
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: a Yeah, he's gonna put it all on the line.

524
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 4: His market value at twenty two.

525
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, my gosh. So yeah, Okay, I know, I know,

526
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about money here.

527
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: I'm right, just don't think about the.

528
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: Money, just exactly. It's gonna it's gonna fall out of

529
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: the sky somewhere shopping. I'm doing some girl math right now, right,

530
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: all right, we got to take a break. More coming

531
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 2: at you next on One Bill's Live were presented by

532
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: Clyde Help on Buffalo Bills Radio.

533
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 6: You feel bad for the Patriots because it wasn't their

534
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: best showing, but we got to be proud of our season, right.

535
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 6: I think that's gonna be the main message from Mike

536
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 6: Rabel to these guys is like, you played so well.

537
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: That being said, the Bills are going after him next year.

538
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 6: The Bills are going to retake the division with I

539
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 6: have a strong feeling about.

540
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: Here.

541
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: They all right, Patrick coming through with the prediction very early.

542
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: He's right, though, I'm I hate to say it like this,

543
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: but I can say it myself. Right in the spot

544
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: where the New England Patriots are, everybody's throwing dirt on them.

545
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: Drake May stinks they were frauds. They're each situat the

546
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: whole thing. They're a good football team. Vrabel deserves a

547
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: lot of credit for getting them to the point where

548
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: they got the Super Bowl because they turned to the

549
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: had thirty brand new guys on their roster. He changed

550
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: all that. He coached them up and got them to

551
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: a point where they got to the super Bowl. Certainly,

552
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: they got some breaks down the stretch by going you know,

553
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham and the like, you know Mahomes and Lamar

554
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: and and now didn't even Josh going in and losing

555
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: an overtime game.

556
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: So that.

557
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: They still are gonna come back and they're gonna be

558
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: better than they were this year because they're gonna have

559
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: a year under their belt and all that. So, I'm

560
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: I do think talent wise and quarterback wise, there's no

561
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: question the Bills have every reason to think they can

562
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: go out and win the division next year. But you'd

563
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find anybody that says it's gonna

564
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: be anybody but the Bills and the Patriots. I mean,

565
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: the Jets aren't coming from the Abyss to do it. Miami,

566
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna be The last time we saw them, they

567
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: were hot garbage, So they don't even Yeah, they're court

568
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: and the Patriots and the Bills hope they come back

569
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: with Tua. I mean they hope to as their quarterback, right,

570
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, so that's the state of that. So it's

571
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: it's between the Bills and the Patriots. Patriots have every

572
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: reasonably they can defend. But the Bills, you know, with

573
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: a chip on their shoulder now, are probably not being

574
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the hunted this year. Yeah, that's that puts them in

575
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: a good spot. That's going to be the conversation going forward,

576
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: that it's a two team race in this division, and

577
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can pick your horse. Yeah, and they have.

578
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: Now you got to say.

579
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: It, their head coach is more proven than the Bills

580
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 4: head coach.

581
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, n Belton.

582
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: He's also head coach of the Tennessee Titans. He was

583
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: really one of the most sought after coaches and in

584
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: this last cycle and or in the cycle two years ago,

585
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: and so now you know you've got a rookie head coach.

586
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: So that's that's all going into the stew But there's

587
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: still a lot of respect for this Bill's offense with

588
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: Josh at the helm and Joe Brady calling the shots

589
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: around the league, there's no They're a problem and they're

590
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna continue to be a problem. James Coach's gonna come

591
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: back the offensive line. We'll see what happens with the

592
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: two with David Edwards and conmac govern.

593
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's.

594
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: A lot of respect for the team or banging around

595
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: the NFL and in the media, even with the question marks.

596
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 2: I also have to believe that the Patriots winning the

597
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: AFC East for the first time in five seasons when

598
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: the Bills held it the last five seasons, is gonna

599
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: fuel them throughout this offseason and during the season. You

600
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: didn't deserve to be there. We did. We were the

601
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: team who made it five years in the row. We

602
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: believe we had a better roster. We're a little ticked

603
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 2: off that you got home field advantage in the playoffs

604
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: and watching the Patriots in the playoffs, I don't know

605
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: as Bill's fans, as Bill's players, you got to be

606
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: watching thinking that could have been us. Yes it wasn't. Yes,

607
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: you didn't win those games during the season that would

608
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: have propped you up to win the AFC East. But

609
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: use it, use it as fuel this offseason, and use

610
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: it as fuel as you go into the next season,

611
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: because that's going to help you out.

612
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: Guys are going to be thinking about it in the

613
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: offseason about you know how, because when you're a player

614
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: and you have the change that goes on now with

615
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: the head coach, you got to know it's tangible evidence

616
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: inside your locker room that you weren't good enough. You

617
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: just weren't good enough. You didn't play well enough. And

618
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: it cost Sean McDermott, the guy who hired all of you,

619
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: it cost him his job. That sticks with a lot

620
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: of guys. They're going to be sitting there looking at

621
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: themselves in the mirror, going, man, I didn't do enough.

622
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let that be a case this year.

623
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: Some guys, they'll they'll react that way. It's it's you know,

624
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: you got to do a little soul searching when when

625
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that happens in your organization, this head coaching stuff.

626
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: You think guys in Baltimore aren't saying that Mike Tomlin

627
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: stepping away. Yeah, it's it runs really deep and the

628
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: profound nature of the head coaching position in the NFL.

629
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: They're all every guy is going to feel it, the difference,

630
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: and they're going to be reminded of the fact that

631
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: they didn't get it done.

632
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the guilt that a lot of that locker

633
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: room must feel that, you know, we're part of the

634
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: reason why we don't have our head coach that we had.

635
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: We heard from Spencer Brown on I believe it was

636
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: on Eric Wood's podcast where Spencer said something along the

637
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: lines of I do not want to go through this

638
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: again in my NFL career where a head coach gets

639
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: fired and a new person comes in. Yes. Brown is

640
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: also excited about Joe Brady and is excited what he's

641
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: going to bring to the and is happy about the

642
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: familiarity he has with Joe Brady, but was really honest

643
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: and raw about those emotions surrounding seeing a head coach

644
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: leave because you didn't get the job done and also

645
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: feeling like you are are part of that problem. You

646
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: want to do something to fix that so it doesn't

647
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: happen again.

648
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: We're going to start hearing from players as they come

649
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: back for you know, off season OTAs and after the draft,

650
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: and usually it's kind of radio silence from the locker

651
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: room because you know they're not in the building. They're

652
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: all scattered about the country, gone off to their hometowns

653
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: and doing other things.

654
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 4: And when they.

655
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: Finally get back together, you'll still hear you'll hear a

656
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: little bit of that, maybe see some of the scar

657
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: tissue from you know what these last couple of years

658
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: have been like for this for the team. So and

659
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: then to have some some consequences happened to your team

660
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: that aren't just Twitter right right, it's real guys. Guys

661
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: are gone, Guys aren't in the building anymore. You're not

662
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: going to see those guys, So that it's going to

663
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: strike a chord that's a little deeper than just some

664
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: off bad offseason, you know, after a bad loss in

665
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

666
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: Back to our question for you today. We're asking you

667
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 2: now now that it's officially the start to the NFL offseason,

668
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: where does your mind go first? Can't take callers yet,

669
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: we're still working on a solution for that since we're

670
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: no longer on WGR, but we can take your comments

671
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: you can tweet at us or I was gonna say

672
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: we're a giftus calm, but not yet. We're still working

673
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 2: on that. So back to our tweet sheet from David

674
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: says the plan to fill roles through the draft and

675
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: free agency, including re signing hours or trading for players.

676
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: The draft will be huge for being Finding affordable role

677
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: players will be more important than ever. Yeah, draft is

678
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: coming up in the end of April. Free agency is

679
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: going to come first on March eleventh, and finding affordable

680
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: players the best way to do it is through the

681
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: end NFL Draft. And I know this scouting department is

682
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: doing their due diligence now that they've met with some

683
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: of the new coaches in the building to figure out

684
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: what are you looking for in a player and are

685
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: trying to put that together to figure out who of

686
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: these prospects that are going to be invited to the

687
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 2: NFL scouting combine are worth looking at, are worth interviewing,

688
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 2: and et cetera.

689
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 4: Right, It's.

690
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting. You know, this whole conversation

691
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: that we have it every year every team in the

692
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: league says our GM's got to.

693
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 4: Crush the draft.

694
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 7: He just got to every year.

695
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: Every year they say, we said it last year about

696
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, and every year, every GM over the course

697
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: of three years, three years does exactly the same as

698
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: every other GM. They hit on a couple of guys,

699
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: they miss on this guy, and the guys that pick

700
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: near the top of the draft are likely the guys

701
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: that get a star player out of that draft. Those

702
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: guys at the top of the draft are set aside physically,

703
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: leadership abilities, production in tangibles, the tangible, the size of

704
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: the wink, the weight, the strength, the speed. They've got

705
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: all they check every box and they find stars in

706
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: the top six, seven, eight, ten players in the draft.

707
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: They always do, and those GMS are like, wow, he's brilliant.

708
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if the other seven draft picks they

709
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: got get cut, but they got that star player. Every

710
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: team says they got to crush the draft. We said

711
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: it about Brandon Bean last year, and the Bills got

712
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: right to the brink again. And you know, they got

713
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: Dian Walker out of this last draft. Very good pick.

714
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: Landon Jackson couldn't help at all. He was injured, Maxwell

715
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: Maxwell Harriston was on and off the field. So it's

716
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: it's it's the exact same story every year. You got

717
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: to find somebody who can play at who's whoever's available

718
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: on the board. You've got to pick the guy who's

719
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: going to have the best career as a pro. Who's

720
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: it gonna be and you got to make that call.

721
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: And I don't want to belittle the conversation because it's real,

722
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: But it's the same for every single team you go

723
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: on going there, go into their go into their mentions.

724
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 5: We got to kill this draft. Got to kill this draft.

725
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 5: He's got to Well, they all try, they all try.

726
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: I I would be interested to see. It's more interesting

727
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 5: for me to wonder if Brandon Bean is gonna move

728
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 5: up or down this year? He did he you know,

729
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 5: with a key on Coleman pick he did? I think

730
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 5: he picked Max right where they stayed. Uh, he did

731
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 5: not move up or down to pick Max. I think

732
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 5: I can't remember now.

733
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: But he has never been shy about doing it. I'll

734
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: be interested to see if this is a year where

735
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: because of a new head coach and because of the

736
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: finger quotes, the pressure, added pressure of a first year

737
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: head coach, and chan't making the change with a really

738
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: good team.

739
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 4: You know, are you gonna swing big.

740
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 2: Are you gonna swing big knowing that there's a there's

741
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: a clock on this thing, and we got to get

742
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: it done in a decent amount of time. We got

743
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 2: to show that we can do it. So do we

744
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: need to swing big to load up and believe that

745
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: pick load up? That's good enough.

746
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 4: They picked Max at thirtieth overall. TJ.

747
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: Sanders had picked forty one. Landon Jackson picked seventy two.

748
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Dion Walker, who was who seems to be at this

749
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: point the guy who really helped a lot.

750
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: Jackson Haws too.

751
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: Jordan hank Yeah, Jackson Hawes, Jordan Hancock, who got on

752
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: the field a little bit, you know. And Dorian Strong

753
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: never played. He's still pending a neck procedure on his

754
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: neck to maybe save his career. And Chase Lunt and

755
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: Caden Praither were the draft picks all the way down.

756
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: At two hundred and fortieth player picked. I mean, so,

757
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're expecting there. It's it's a

758
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: conversation we have every year. You got to kill the draft,

759
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's the idea, and it'll it depends greatly

760
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: on what that draft board looks like.

761
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 4: When the Bills pick and what and about.

762
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: And it also depends greatly on the meetings that they're

763
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: having right now about where they're deficient and where their

764
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: greatest need lies and can they get to the point

765
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: by the draft where it won't matter who's available on

766
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: the on the board, that they can pick the best player.

767
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: And you can bet they're gonna they're gonna sign a

768
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: lot of guys in free agency. They're gonna have some space,

769
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to do it, and they're

770
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna get way under the cap and they'll be able

771
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: to sign guys. How good their roster looks going into

772
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: the draft will tell us a little bit about what's

773
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: going to happen as well.

774
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean wants to be in a place by the

775
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 2: time the draft comes around where you don't have any

776
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: more big holes.

777
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: You can't have a positional emergency anywhere.

778
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 2: Because you can't. You can't bet on anything happening as

779
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: an absolute sitting at number twenty six, there's a lot

780
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: of things that's gonna happen.

781
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: And those names. I've been hearing This guy CJ. Allen,

782
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: this linebacker from Georgia who's like that the Bills should get.

783
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: This guy's really he's never gonna be there.

784
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 4: Because I and I keep it. I can't.

785
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: I say this all the time, but it's every year.

786
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: Every year, I'm saying this whole over and over. But

787
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: every year this guy pops up, yeah as a guy

788
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: that the Bills are going to get, and by the

789
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: time the draft comes, he's he's gone.

790
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: He's flown up to number fifteen.

791
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's ten picks gone by the time the Bills pick.

792
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: So CJ. Allen has no chance of getting there at

793
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 4: twenty six.

794
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 1: If the past performance producers Future performance.

795
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: You heard it here. First, we're going to see where

796
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: ce J. Allen goes in the draft at the end

797
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: of April. We'll talk about CJ. Allen later in the show,

798
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 2: so it makes sure you stay tuned for that because

799
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 2: he's already been mocked to the Bills a few times.

800
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: We got to take a break when we return back

Speaker 2: you tuning in today. Our question for you, now that

814
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: it's officially the start of the NFL off season, where

815
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: does your mind go? First? Lauren has an interesting response,

816
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 2: saying player acquisition more athleticism and size on the front

817
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: seven is a primary need. Improved athleticism at wide receiver

818
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: as well. Here's where it gets interesting. Trade Dion Dawkins

819
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 2: and Ed Oliver get more chips and save money long term,

820
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: trade future draft picks and be all in over the

821
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: next three years to win it. Trading Dion Dawkins and

822
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 2: at Oliver wow.

823
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Well, as cold and heartless as it sounds, what do

824
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: you get for him? What are you trading them for?

825
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: First of all, if you're gonna get two ones for

826
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm exagger You're never going to get this. But if

827
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: you get two ones for Dion and okay, I'll listen.

828
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: If you get a one or two for Ed, okay,

829
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: I'll listen. But I'm not going to trade those guys

830
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: for a bag of footballs and a box of donuts,

831
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: you know.

832
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 4: So every that's the way the job works.

833
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: The reason these guys don't get traded, and the reason

834
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: a lot of players don't get traded, is because they're

835
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: too valuable to trade and other teams. They're more valuable

836
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: to you than the art of the teams totally, and

837
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: the other team won't give something up for them. I

838
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: won't give up enough. And you're not gonna trade those

839
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 1: guys for something that you have less of a chance

840
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: of getting a player just as good. You're not gonna

841
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: trade Dion Dawkins for a fifth rounder because you'll never

842
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: get a left tackle in the fifth round as good

843
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: as Dion Dawkins is. Guess what, I get the money things,

844
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: but the money thing you can wipe, you can work with.

845
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't have a top ten pick ei there.

846
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, you're not gonna get.

847
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 2: A top defensive lineman. Are gonna be off the board.

848
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 1: So that's that's yes, if you can get that done,

849
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: everybody would do it.

850
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 4: But you're not gonna get it done. You're not gonna trade.

851
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have anybody trade, you know, two ones

852
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: or even even a first for at Oliver with his contract.

853
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: You just aren't coming off an injury too, and you're.

854
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: Not going You're also not gonna have somebody trade you

855
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: even a fourth round pick for maybe for Ed. That's

856
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: just the way the economics of the league works. So

857
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: that's yes, all this trade stuff is fun to talk about,

858
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna get most of it done because

859
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: you value those guys higher than the people who want

860
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: to trade for them are and you're not going to

861
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: trade them for less than that. So yeah, other than that,

862
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: everybody would be trading all the time, but you can't.

863
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 4: You can't get that value back.

864
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: Jacob says two key elements for Buffalo next year need

865
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: to keep solid depth at the offensive line. That's an

866
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: under talked about draft need, and two need to overhaul

867
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: pass rush with bigger, faster players. Could use four to

868
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: five solid defensive n outside linebacker additions. Matt Molano is

869
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 2: set to become a free agent.

870
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah that.

871
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: Yes, they're gonna have a lot of new players on

872
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: the defensive front, mainly because they've got a ton of

873
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: guys whose contracts are up.

874
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 4: Right.

875
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: Here's defensive line day, Kwon Jones, Fadarien Mathis, Larry Ogin, Joby,

876
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 2: Jordan Phillips, aj Epanessa, Joey Bosa.

877
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: So those guys are all going to be either re

878
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: signed or changed and with a new the whole new

879
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: scheme coming in, you kind of lean towards change, right Bosa, Epanessa, Dai, Kwon, Ogin, Joby,

880
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips. All of those guys may be changed out,

881
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: maybe not all of them, but you know they aren't

882
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: a chance to be these guys are These guys are out.

883
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 4: Of work right now. They don't have a contract.

884
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, unless you sign all five of those guys back,

885
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: or six of those guys back, you're gonna have at

886
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: least four or five.

887
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,200

Speaker 2: us right now. Dan, thanks for taking the time to

900
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 2: come on and chat a little bit about Buffalo's off season.

901
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 7: How you doing I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.

902
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: How are you doing good? Now that the twenty twenty

903
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: five season is officially wrapped up with the Seahawks winning

904
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl over the Patriots. What did the Super

905
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: Bowl tell every other NFL team who was not involved

906
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: in it as how they should go about their NFL

907
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: off seasons?

908
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 7: I think is probably to get as simply as many

909
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 7: good players as you possibly can. I think we kind

910
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 7: of saw a lot of times we've talked about how

911
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 7: the super hero quarterback can bring teams to super Bowl

912
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 7: when we've kind of seen that potentially, like throughout the

913
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 7: regular season with Josh Allen. But I think we saw,

914
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 7: especially in Buffalo's case, if you don't have the rest

915
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 7: of that roster filled out quite as deep as it

916
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 7: possibly can. I think we just kind of saw Seattle

917
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 7: as a team that just has really really good players

918
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 7: everywhere on every position. So I think that is going

919
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 7: to be something. Even if you have that superhero quarterback,

920
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 7: having that depth and building out the rest of the

921
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 7: team is just as important.

922
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: What did you What do you think the Super Bowl

923
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: said about the Patriots? Certainly after you lose. Take it

924
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: from a guy who knows if you lose a Super

925
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Bowl you're gonna get dirt thrown on you for the

926
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: entire offseason. What did it really tell us about who

927
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots are, how they got there, and their future

928
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: and maybe how this season really was.

929
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's a lot that has been kind

930
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 7: of looked at for the schedule and how soft it was.

931
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 7: But I think if you look at some schedule adjusted

932
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 7: metrics like DVOA, the Patriots were still really good. So

933
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 7: this was a very good team that I think was

934
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 7: a little ahead of where maybe they should have been

935
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 7: in terms of of you know, the result of being

936
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 7: in the Super Bowl. Maybe they weren't that good of

937
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 7: a team, but I think this was still a team

938
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 7: that had some flaws, especially on defense, and some flaws

939
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 7: that were worked over through the regular season with some

940
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 7: of the offensive line. They were able to create some

941
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 7: big plays and just ran into a gauntlet of incredible

942
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 7: defenses throughout their playoff run, which I think stopped them.

943
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 7: And then I think we just had a Seattle defense

944
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 7: that was really the best in the league throughout the

945
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 7: year and was just so well structured to handle what

946
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 7: the Patriots wanted to do. So I don't think there's

947
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 7: a lot of takeaways where you know the Patriots were

948
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 7: somehow this bad team that kind of found themselves here.

949
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 7: They were still a good team that just ran into

950
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 7: a juggernaut, especially in the Super Bowl.

951
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, say what you want about their schedule that they

952
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 2: played in twenty twenty five, but in twenty twenty six,

953
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 2: that schedule gets harder. And it's not like they're going

954
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 2: to have a top ten pick because they made it

955
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, so they'll be drafting in the

956
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 2: first round at the As it relates to Buffalo, Buffalo

957
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: parted ways with Sean McDermott, who is their head coach

958
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 2: for nine seasons and has moved on to their offensive

959
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 2: coordinator who was promoted to the head coaching position in

960
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: Joe Brady. What do you make of the move and

961
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: some of the coordinators that they've brought in.

962
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I like Joe Brady a lot. I

963
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 7: think it is, you know, an interesting move to have

964
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 7: really only Sean McDermott be the only piece that gets

965
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 7: taken away from this team that could really get over

966
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 7: the hump. But I like Brady. I like what they've

967
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 7: been able to do. I think if you get some

968
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 7: more receivers in there and can expand that offense a

969
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 7: little bit and not have so much of the weight

970
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 7: of the passing game on Josh Allen, I think that

971
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 7: will probably help a lot, you know. And Jim Lennard

972
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 7: is a guy who I think has been a very

973
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 7: interesting name over multiple NFL offseasons. So for him to

974
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 7: finally get this defensive coordinator role I think is going

975
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 7: to be very exciting. He's done a lot of fun

976
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 7: things going back to Wisconsin. I think there are going

977
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 7: to be a little you know, modernization of some of

978
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 7: the defensive structure that is going to be in place now.

979
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 7: I'm really excited to see what he can bring to

980
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 7: the defense.

981
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about you know, this division and

982
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: certainly the Patriots. If if it's not the Patriots that

983
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: are the favorite, it'll be the Bills. But you've got

984
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: two other teams, the Dolphins and the Jets, that they're

985
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: in full rebuild mode. And I guess we'll start with

986
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins first. They cleaned house Jeff Hafley's now they're

987
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: head coach to a tong of I looa is a

988
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: huge question mark for them, and where they go on

989
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball seems to be an absolute

990
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: toss up.

991
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is just going to be a team that

992
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 7: definitely is rebuilding in a way where they're really going

993
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 7: to tear some stuff down. The past couple of years

994
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 7: has really been building up the offense and the roster

995
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 7: really among these you know, star players. It was really

996
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 7: kind of a stars and scrubs type of roster build.

997
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 7: But now if you're going to be either trading or

998
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 7: releasing to probably moving on from Tyreek Hill, there's a

999
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 7: lot of cap that you really need to be working with.

1000
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 7: They're not going to be able to refill a lot

1001
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 7: of those roster holes immediately. So I think this is

1002
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 7: going to be a slow multiple years of the Dolphins

1003
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 7: kind of getting back in a draft, get younger, get cheaper,

1004
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 7: and that's we're going to see that really be what

1005
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 7: happens for the Dolphins.

1006
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: Because of the twenty twenty five season, we also saw

1007
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: that the Jets also need a quarterback. They have the

1008
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: second overall pick in the NFL Draft. It'll be interesting

1009
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 2: to see what they decide to do. Is they made

1010
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: a ton of coaching changes this offseason already, Yeah.

1011
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 7: For really the head coach to be the only coach

1012
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 7: who's really coming back in a team that was not

1013
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 7: very good last year. And the Yeah, the number two

1014
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 7: spot's going to be interesting because this seems to be

1015
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 7: a one quarterback class, so they're going to be out

1016
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 7: of that. They are going to have to find one.

1017
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 7: There's a couple of veteran options, but really, when you

1018
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 7: look at especially what they what the roster looks like,

1019
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 7: what they did with trading away some of their star players,

1020
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 7: with Sauce Gardner Quinn Williams getting first round picks, this

1021
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 7: again is going to be a very slow, deliberate rebuild

1022
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 7: to get younger, and there are not a lot of

1023
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 7: things that the Jets could do this offseason to be

1024
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 7: good in twenty twenty six. So again, this is going

1025
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 7: to be a multi year kind of step by step

1026
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 7: piece that we see.

1027
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: And we saw too that the Chiefs have become less

1028
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: than inevitable, right they look human this last season and

1029
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: now they're Travis Kelcey may be coming back. Certainly Mahomes

1030
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: will be back, depending on you know, how quick in

1031
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: this season he can get up to speed and how

1032
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, certainly the guy can win from the pocket,

1033
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to be able to run all

1034
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: over the yard, but how good he is, how quick

1035
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: he gets there says a lot as well. And now

1036
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: there's a new offensive coordinator.

1037
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's going to be a big piece

1038
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 7: of that to see just kind of how maybe the

1039
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 7: authentic spans a little bit, because I think what we

1040
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 7: saw with Kansas City, you know, if you look at

1041
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 7: a lot of advanced metrics, they were still pretty good

1042
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 7: this year, but if you watch them especially the best

1043
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 7: two years, really the metrics say they were really good,

1044
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 7: but you just kind of watch them and there wasn't

1045
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 7: a lot going on. So I think with the enemy

1046
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 7: coming back, potentially having some of those explosive plays happened

1047
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 7: down the field. Hopefully we'll see what he brings from

1048
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 7: the Ben Johnson run game that they had, and I

1049
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 7: think expanding that run game, having a little more that

1050
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 7: they can do there because the running backs which is

1051
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 7: not very good last year, So I think that will

1052
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 7: help a little bit. And I think they're another team

1053
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 7: that kind of sees you need to have those other

1054
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 7: pieces in place and not just rely on the arm

1055
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 7: of your superhero quarterback because I think we've kind of

1056
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 7: see the wide receiver talent there really has not been

1057
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 7: able to bail Mahomes out when he's needed it. So

1058
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 7: I think adding some wide receiver pieces there potentially having

1059
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 7: a better run game, I think we'll take some of

1060
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 7: the pressure off of Mahomes and allow him to get

1061
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 7: help year throughout the season two.

1062
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 2: You spoke about the slow rebuild for teams like the

1063
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 2: Dolphins and the Jets having the time to do so

1064
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 2: with new head coaches. Slow and the Bills do not

1065
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 2: go in the same sentence because they have Josh Allen

1066
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: as their quarterback and they've made it to the playoffs

1067
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 2: time and time again but have yet to get to

1068
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. What's Number one on your off season

1069
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: lift of things for Buffalo that they need to do.

1070
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely get in a wide receiver, and that might

1071
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 7: be tough. There's not a lot of number one wide

1072
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 7: receivers available. But this is an interesting draft class that

1073
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of shapes and sizes that

1074
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 7: we've kind of seen, you know, these past couple draft

1075
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 7: classes coming in where even if there isn't you know,

1076
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 7: a star receiver or like you know, the Maliki Neighbors

1077
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 7: class that we've seen, you're going to get be able

1078
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 7: to get some useful pieces. So I think adding some

1079
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 7: wide receiver there and then just kind of refiguring some

1080
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 7: of this defense. I think the defense really played into

1081
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 7: Sean mcdermot's credit, really played above the talent level, especially

1082
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 7: with some of the injuries they had last year. But

1083
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 7: you're gonna have a couple of free agents at the

1084
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 7: edge and safety and getting some of those players in

1085
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 7: shaping this defense to what what Jim Leonard is going

1086
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 7: to want to be. So you fixed wide receiver, get

1087
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 7: a little more talent there, kind of build up some

1088
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 7: more talent on the defensive side. I think that the

1089
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 7: Bills are again going to be one of the better

1090
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 7: teams in the AFC.

1091
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest problem is because Jim

1092
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: Leonard coming in and it's been a four man defensive

1093
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: front for the McDermott era, Now it's gonna be the

1094
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: three to four kind of set. You're gonna need more

1095
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: stand up linebackers, You're gonna need different kinds of athletes.

1096
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: Now there are and we just went over before you

1097
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: came on, there's five or six guys on the defensive

1098
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: line rotation that will that are unrestricted free agents. What

1099
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of problems do you see making that change on

1100
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: the fly with high expectations.

1101
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it doesn't worry me too much because

1102
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 7: I think there still are a lot even when you're playing,

1103
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 7: you know, off four down front, a lot of these

1104
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 7: teams that are still multiple. So even though it is

1105
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 7: you know, more of a four man rush, will still

1106
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 7: kind of see some of these guys play similar type

1107
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 7: of roles. But I think more of the talent just

1108
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 7: going in and out and figuring out what exactly is

1109
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 7: going to be on the edge and who you want

1110
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 7: to break in. You know they're going to be, you know,

1111
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 7: guys like kilevon Chase on who you could kind of

1112
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 7: bring in like those are the types of players that

1113
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 7: you know, you're probably not going to get a Jalen

1114
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 7: Phillips to be able to come in. So just kind

1115
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 7: of figuring out who is in the right place and

1116
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 7: having everyone on the same page what kind of players

1117
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 7: are going to fit there. I think that is going

1118
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 7: to be more of what really makes this Bill's defense

1119
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 7: work rather than the struggle of bringing in the players.

1120
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 7: As long as they can kind of figure that out,

1121
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 7: I think they can bring in some of those guys

1122
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 7: and just as long as they are on the same page,

1123
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 7: which is kind of what they've preached since making these

1124
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 7: you know, coaching changes, that everyone's going to be on

1125
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 7: the same page. I think that that's just as long

1126
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 7: as everyone knows what they're looking for. I think there's

1127
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 7: going to be enough talent there and the coaching is

1128
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 7: going to be good enough that I don't think the

1129
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 7: schematic change is going to be that drastic.

1130
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned Buffalo's need for a wide receiver instead in

1131
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: the draft. This this year's draft is one of different

1132
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: shapes and sizes that you can find. But comparing what's

1133
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: available in the draft to what's available in free agency,

1134
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 2: is there one way you think would benefit Buffalo or

1135
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 2: possibly going both ways. Steve Tasker over here is already

1136
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 2: on the train for trade a wide receiver rather than

1137
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 2: draft or free agency.

1138
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, if one does become available via trade,

1139
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 7: and it's going to be, you know, kind of tough

1140
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 7: to see exactly who that's going to be. I know

1141
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 7: a lot of people are going to want aj Brown

1142
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 7: from the Eagles. That's a very hard contract for the

1143
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 7: Eagles to actually trade, So I'd be surprised if that

1144
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 7: does happen. You know, I think, you know what, potentially

1145
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 7: like a Michael Pittman junior from the Colts might be

1146
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 7: available because they might want to lean into Alec Pearce,

1147
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 7: who is going to be a free agent. So I

1148
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 7: think there could be some interesting veterans like that. But again,

1149
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 7: because you need, I think so many different types of

1150
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 7: wide receivers to be a good functional receiving corps and

1151
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 7: offense in the NFL. Grabbing a guy either from trade

1152
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 7: or from free agency and then getting someone in the draft,

1153
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 7: I think I don't think you can have enough receivers

1154
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 7: in today's game. So yeah, I would be I would say,

1155
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 7: go in all directions that you possibly can to try

1156
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 7: to find out as many wide receivers as you can

1157
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 7: possibly build up.

1158
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: One of the things that you know is everybody is

1159
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: looking to continue here in Buffalo is the play of

1160
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: the offense. I think you know it's going to keep

1161
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: on keeping on with Joe Brady moving up to the

1162
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: head coaching slots, still retaining play calling abilities. Does it

1163
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: give you any pause that the starting center starting left

1164
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 1: guard are both unrestricted free agents. I mean it has

1165
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: been it seems to have been a core fullilosophy that

1166
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: they would make sure they've got enough quality offensive lineman

1167
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: to protect Josh Allen. What does that mean for two

1168
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: guys who have been like fixtures for two straight years.

1169
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that was really the thing. Like since Brady

1170
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 7: came on as offensive coordinator midstream, I think we saw

1171
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 7: our really just deliberate plan to get this offensive line

1172
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 7: in place to where it can have a strong run grame,

1173
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 7: strong pass protection. So I think there is definitely a

1174
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 7: way where if you restructure Josh Allen's contract, think you

1175
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 7: can restructure Spencer Brown, you free up a lot of

1176
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 7: money that I think can be used to resign those

1177
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 7: guys that would be a top priority for me. Also,

1178
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 7: So I think they'll keep at least one of them.

1179
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 7: But yeah, you do want as good of an offensive

1180
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 7: line because we saw how good this Bill's run game

1181
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 7: can be, especially if the passing offense wasn't working quite

1182
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 7: as well and it worked with some of the screens,

1183
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 7: and we just saw such a low the target for

1184
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 7: Josh Allen. So I think if the offensive line can

1185
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 7: hold up more, you add that wide receiver, get some

1186
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 7: more deep shots down the field. I think everything just

1187
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 7: kind of works together. But yeah, having that offensive line

1188
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 7: has been such an important piece for the Bills, and

1189
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 7: I would expect them to do whatever they can to

1190
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:18,439
Speaker 7: bring both of those guys back.

1191
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 2: What's another area of need on Buffalo's roster that maybe

1192
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 2: fans are overlooking, But based on the way that you've researched,

1193
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 2: you think, hey, Buffalo has to go after this this offseason.

1194
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 7: So I don't think Buffalo fans have been overlooking safety.

1195
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 7: But I think that is the most interesting position because

1196
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 7: I do believe that's still a position that NFL teams

1197
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 7: have not valued as much as they could have, and

1198
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 7: I think that is in free agency, the position where

1199
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 7: quality players are still hitting the market, and even if

1200
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 7: some of the top guys don't hit. I think there

1201
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 7: are still going to be a lot of good safeties

1202
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 7: that are going to be available. You can look at,

1203
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 7: you know, both guys from Chicago, like a Jakwan Brisker.

1204
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 7: You have like a Cam Curl from the Rams, who

1205
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 7: was an incredible bargain two years ago when he hit

1206
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 7: free agency. So I think that is going to be

1207
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 7: the position that kind of gets overlooked as a position

1208
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 7: that can completely change a defense. And I think especially

1209
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 7: in the way that Jim Leonard might want to deploy

1210
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 7: some of these guys and be able to be versatile

1211
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 7: and move around and shift some of the coverages. I

1212
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 7: think safety is going to be a big piece in

1213
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 7: who they bring in and the value I think they

1214
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 7: can get. There is going to be a what do

1215
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 7: you think of it? What this defense looks like?

1216
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 4: Sorry about that?

1217
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: What do you think maybe the trends maybe that are underlying.

1218
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Certainly the run game has started to re emerge in

1219
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: the NFL circles as because it was a pass happy

1220
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: league just two or three years ago, and now you've

1221
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: got a team like Buffalo with one of the best

1222
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks leading the league in rushing. Philadelphia had the leading

1223
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: rusher in the league last year very you know, finishing

1224
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: strong running the football. Is it making a resurgence or

1225
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: is it just one those things that some teams are

1226
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: exploiting to make it make a couple of wins happen.

1227
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's it's a little bit of both.

1228
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 7: And for all the you know, analysis we can do,

1229
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 7: it just kind of seems like the really good teams

1230
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 7: are really good in the trenches. And I think we've seen,

1231
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 7: you know, with Buffalo at their peak and that offensive

1232
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 7: line that's worked. I think we saw the Rams kind

1233
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 7: of have a switch to there. They had one of

1234
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 7: the highest success rates for running the ball over the

1235
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 7: past decade this past season. That was with MVP Matthew Stafford.

1236
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 7: I think when you looked at what the Eagles were

1237
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 7: really good at when they won the Super Bowl was

1238
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 7: being dominant on the offensive line, it was not quite

1239
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 7: as good this past year, and that's why they had

1240
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 7: some of their problems. So if you can just be

1241
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 7: and then we saw Seattle the offensive line not quite

1242
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 7: as good, but that defensive line went so deep across

1243
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 7: all positions. So I think just being so good in

1244
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 7: the trenches and when you have a team with a

1245
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 7: defensive line like Seattle, you can counteract it with a

1246
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 7: dominant offensive line, which I think is why we saw

1247
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 7: the Rams play so well against them at some point.

1248
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 7: So if the trench, it just really basically does continue

1249
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 7: to come down to the trenches. And whether that means

1250
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 7: good pass protection, opening up holes in the run game,

1251
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 7: or being dominated in the pass rush, I think we

1252
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 7: just kind of is very simply we see the very

1253
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 7: good teams are are very good.

1254
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: There last one for me, there were a ton of

1255
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 2: teams this offseason that had head coaching openings, those are

1256
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 2: all filled. What team is set to have the most

1257
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 2: interesting offseason in your eyes?

1258
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 7: Baltimore I think is going to be one of those teams.

1259
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 7: I'm very interested to see what Jesse Mentor can do there.

1260
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 7: I think he's probably the closest of what we can

1261
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 7: see any NFL team match what Mike McDonald did with Seattle,

1262
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 7: I think. But when you look at another team in

1263
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 7: the AFC, I think the Chargers are the most interesting

1264
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 7: team for me, just because what this new offense is

1265
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 7: going to look like with Mike McDaniel as the offensive coordinator.

1266
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 7: They have the second most space in the league. They

1267
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 7: have a couple free agents like a Khalil Mack and

1268
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 7: sach are not scheduled to be on the team right now,

1269
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 7: but they can really reshape this team in any way

1270
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 7: they see fit and what they're going to do, and

1271
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 7: how that roster now looks with some of the changes

1272
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 7: that they've made. I think they're going to be a

1273
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 7: fascinating team this offseason.

1274
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 4: Good stuff, Dan, thanks for spending some time with us.

1275
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Have a great offseason.

1276
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you, thanks for having me.

1277
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan. All Right, that was NFL analyst from Yahoo

1278
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: Sports Dan Pezuda with some information on what he thinks

1279
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo should do this offseason, and then breaking out to

1280
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 2: the AFC East and some interesting comments about the Chargers. Yeah,

1281
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 2: a lot of cab space. New offensive coordinator, who was

1282
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 2: a head coach for the Dolphins. What's gonna happen there?

1283
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: I just on a side note, Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel.

1284
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: To me, from the outside looking in, it looked like

1285
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: polar opposites.

1286
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1287
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is an old school, you know, hard grinding

1288
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: head coach, high demand, you know, and Mike McDaniel was

1289
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: like the free spirit, kind of creative, you know, guy,

1290
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: those two guys on the same staff. That may be,

1291
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: that may be magical. I don't know, but yeah, it's

1292
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: certainly interesting.

1293
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 2: It is very interesting. Before we go to break, we

1294
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 2: can go back to our tweet sheets, and we're asking

1295
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 2: you today now that it's officially the start of the

1296
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 2: NFL offseason, where does your mind go? First a team,

1297
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 2: Max says, taking the division back. I do trust being

1298
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 2: in this organization. Moreover, I trust Josh Allen, love our

1299
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 2: new staff. Let's hit the free agency market as hard

1300
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 2: as we can and pray we hit the draft lottery

1301
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 2: with our picks. Go Bills. We're still awaiting to see

1302
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: all of Buffalo's picks. We know that they'll have the

1303
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 2: twenty sixth the overall pick in the first round, and

1304
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 2: like you said earlier in the show, you're interested to

1305
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: see does Buffalo decide to move up this year because

1306
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 2: we believe we got to hit a home run with

1307
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 2: a new head coach, or do we stick a pick

1308
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:09,799
Speaker 2: or get out of the first round.

1309
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: And theoretically, and I don't know if any of it's true,

1310
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: but we have conjectured that some of the guys they've

1311
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 1: got who have been contributors won't be able to contribute

1312
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: like they did in a three to four rather than

1313
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: a four to three, So that would mean that they

1314
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: have high value to some teams, whereas they're not as

1315
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: high value to you anymore, which means they could be

1316
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: players for picks, or players and picks for players and

1317
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: picks for other teams. It's I think it's going to

1318
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: be really interesting to see how free agency unwinds and

1319
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: see how the trademarkt goes when you know, when they

1320
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: get further and further into the offseason.

1321
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 2: Chris has a question saying which present defensive players including

1322
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 2: free agents, will be good fits in the new defensive scheme,

1323
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 2: then saying finding the best nose tackle in free agency

1324
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: is at the top of his prime already list. Yesterday

1325
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 2: we were talking about good fits for Buffalo's new defensive

1326
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 2: scheme scheme under Jim Leonard moving from a four to

1327
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 2: three to a three four and some names that were

1328
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: throughout Dion Walker, Christian Benford. Dion Walker being a young

1329
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 2: player who's fresh in his NFL career, who had a

1330
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 2: lot of positives his rookie seasons and seems to be

1331
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 2: a multiple defensive lineman. Michael Hoyt is another name that

1332
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: that jumps up in people's minds as well as somebody

1333
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 2: who could fit in whatever defensive scheme because you're.

1334
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: So versatile, and Dan Pizuta was was right, three four,

1335
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: four to three. The numbers are still you still have

1336
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: eleven guys. And one of the things that you know

1337
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: is always true, if you can get pressure with four guys,

1338
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: you're not gonna send five. And that means the reason

1339
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: that a three four rather than a four to three

1340
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: is it gives you a wider front, a five man

1341
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,600
Speaker 1: front instead of a four man front. It gives you

1342
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: guys automatically on the edges, and it also draws in

1343
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 1: some doubt as to who's rushing the passer.

1344
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 4: If you're going to send.

1345
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: Four and you got seven guys up front, you don't

1346
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,759
Speaker 1: know which three are dropping out, whether it's a defensive

1347
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: end and the outside linebackers coming or so there's just

1348
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: that many more variables usually, and not to say they

1349
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: can't do that with four guys in their hands on

1350
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: the ground, but when you have three guys with their

1351
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: hands on the ground and you say, all right, those

1352
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: three are rushing, ninety five percent of the time you

1353
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: have four other guys who could come from any angle

1354
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: that the defensive coordinator chooses to be that fifth rusher,

1355
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and your off offensive line has to.

1356
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 4: Sort through it.

1357
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise you got two guys blocking one and then a

1358
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: guy running free. That's you know, the plus you get

1359
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 1: from having a bunch of stand up guys that can

1360
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: come from any angle. That helps you. That gives you

1361
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: more flexibility, I think on your pass rush. But dam

1362
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: Pezuto's right, four man four three three four, It's there's

1363
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: still multiple and they can still run any defense out

1364
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,560
Speaker 1: of both those defensive sets. You can still run every coverage,

1365
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: every zone drop, every fire blitz package, all of it.

1366
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: It just comes from different spots, so's it's not gonna

1367
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: be a vast difference for the guys to understand. It's

1368
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: just they're gonna have to get there from a different spot.

1369
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: So I'm but I do like what it does. What

1370
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: it gives you the pass rush because of the flexibility

1371
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: of the offensive line, will be uncertain as to which

1372
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: linebacker will be rushing.

1373
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 2: What are some other reasons a defensive coordinator or head

1374
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: coach would choose to go three four versus four to

1375
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 2: three as it relates to today's NFL and how the

1376
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 2: game is played.

1377
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 1: A lot of it is availability to the athletes that

1378
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 1: it takes to play those positions at a high level.

1379
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: A defensive end, you need guys like Greg Russeau and

1380
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Ajpanessa Rousseau sixty seven, a sixty five plus you know,

1381
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: Landon Jackson sixty five plus Deon Walker sixty seven, who's

1382
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,560
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle. But you need bigger, more physically imposing

1383
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: guys because they they are predictable. He's rushing the pastor

1384
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: those four guys are coming up the field, and when

1385
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 1: you get to a three four there, it opens up

1386
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: way more possibilities for different types of athletes to make

1387
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 1: a difference for your team. They don't have to be

1388
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: all six five and two seventy. They can be tall

1389
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: and leaner, you know, or they can be faster, they

1390
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:33,600
Speaker 1: can be more of an athlete than they are a

1391
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 1: big imposing physical force. You can get a much wider

1392
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: range of athletes on the field that can contribute, which

1393
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: makes them more available. There are more guys like that around,

1394
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, there's I mean, Greg Rousseau is like one

1395
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: of a kind. I mean he's six seven ways two

1396
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: seventy and he's you know, he's an athlete. Those guys

1397
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 1: are rare, but a guy that's six' four to forty

1398
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: and an, athlete those guys and there's a few more

1399
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: of those. Around that does sound like a big, dude

1400
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: and it, is but there's more of those guys, around

1401
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: so it gives you a bigger pool of players that

1402
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: can make a difference for your defense. Athletically to, me

1403
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 1: that's the biggest plus you. Get there are more guys

1404
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: out there who can play well in your defensive scheme

1405
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: than there are guys who play in a four to

1406
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:25,480
Speaker 1: three because of the physical limitations or the physical capabilities

1407
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: you gotta have to be. Effective you got to be

1408
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: able to take on an offensive tackle and not that

1409
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: outside linebackers don't have to do, that but not you,

1410
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: know not like a defensive. End So i'm to me

1411
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: that's the biggest. Difference and you could talk to a defensive.

1412
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: Player i'll give you more than, That but that's my

1413
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: thought is just more of those guys.

1414
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 2: Around, yeah a little bit more versatility for how you

1415
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 2: can plug and play down to down in what you're

1416
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 2: seeing game to game as. Well we got to take

1417

Speaker 2: fit for The bills at number twenty six tracking that

1427
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 2: first round pick That bills have In, april and wide

1428
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 2: receivers seems to be an early. Favorite let's, SEE i

1429
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 2: tracked fourteen in this first round of mock. Drafts we've

1430
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 2: got six wide, receivers six not six different wide, receivers

1431
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 2: but wide receivers mock to The bills six different. Times four,

1432
01:15:55,520 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 2: linebackers three edge, rushers and one. Safety is how it's

1433
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 2: looking for the first time. Around and there's already some favorite.

1434
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 2: Names you spoke ABOUT. Cj allen early on in the,

1435
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:12,759
Speaker 2: show AND. Cj allen was the lone linebacker to pop,

1436
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 2: up so he is the favorite already being mocked to

1437
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 2: The bills four different. Times And i've got to, say

1438
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 2: when you start collecting these names and seeing who people

1439
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,520
Speaker 2: think is the best fit at number twenty, six regardless

1440
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 2: of the years That i've done, this it seems like

1441
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 2: the first month that we're doing this For january into

1442
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 2: the beginning Of, february some of these names you see

1443
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 2: now and you're never gonna see again after the scouting

1444
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 2: combine happens because these guys test off the charts and

1445
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 2: they move, up move up five to ten. Spots so

1446
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 2: some of these names that we're talking about right now

1447
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 2: might bump up to a top fifteen pick in just

1448
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 2: a couple of. Weeks that's just how it.

1449
01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: Goes and also in this mock that if you do

1450
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: take a wide, receiver if You're buffalo and they've got,

1451
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: him taken a guy Like Chris brazil the second out

1452
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: Of tennessee as a wide, receiver it would be the

1453
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: tenth time since twenty since two, thousand that six wide

1454
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: receivers were taken in the first. Round so it's that

1455
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Conversation i've been having a. Lot there's a ton of

1456
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: really good wide, receivers but there's always this line of

1457
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: demarcation where everybody passed the number three wide receiver the

1458
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 1: fourth wide receiver in this group is just, yeah they're just.

1459
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: Okay keon fell below that. Line so Did Xavier. Worthy

1460
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: they both fell behind that. Line so it Was it's

1461
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: just one of those things where when you're picking down

1462
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: on the bottom six picks of the, draft the guys

1463
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: you get are going to be particularly at a, position

1464
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be guys as somebody else passed. Over but

1465
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: that's to, me that just bolsters the conversation maybe not

1466
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 1: taking a wide out in the first round because the good,

1467
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: ones the difference makers right away are going to be,

1468
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:13,759
Speaker 1: Gone but that doesn't mean it won't.

1469
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 2: Happen it seems like it's going to be a good

1470
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 2: wide receiver draft class from what analysts are already. Saying

1471
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 2: linebacker is another position group to. Watch people say this

1472
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 2: year's draft class is exceptionally deep at, linebacker to the

1473
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 2: point that we're going to see some linebackers go in

1474
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 2: the first, round which doesn't always happen just because the

1475
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 2: linebacker position isn't crazily sought. After it's not the position

1476
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 2: group that's making that top tier. Money so it's hard to.

1477
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 2: Think do we spend a first round pick on a

1478
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 2: linebacker when linebackers aren't paid like wide receivers or left

1479
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 2: tackles or. Cornerbacks But buffalo has already been mocked a

1480
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 2: linebacker four different. Times there's a couple NAMES i wanted

1481
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 2: to talk about. Today we'll start with wide receivers since

1482
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 2: that's the exciting, position that's what everybody wants to talk.

1483
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:10,839
Speaker 2: About and one of the mock drafts Had buffalo trading

1484
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 2: all the way up to twenty to get this wide.

1485
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 2: RECEIVER a couple also Had buffalo sticking and picking at

1486
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 2: number twenty six and this wide receiver would be available for.

1487
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 2: Them his name Is Denzel. Washington he comes out Of.

1488
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 2: Washington six for two hundred and ten pounds is what

1489
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 2: he looks like on the, field had eleven touchdowns last. Season,

1490
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 2: Sorry Denzel boston out Of. Washington i've been saying that

1491
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 2: in my brain the last few Days i've been collecting mock.

1492
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 4: Drafts, DENZEL i.

1493
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 2: Think a lot of people are gonna do. That Denzel

1494
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 2: boston out Of. Washington say that five times and try

1495
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 2: not to Say Denzel washington.

1496
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 4: Is Not Denzel washington out Of. Boston It's Denzel boston

1497
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 4: out Of.

1498
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 5: Washington it also kind of rhymes and he's got.

1499
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 1: HANDS i, mean the guy, Catches so that's that's you

1500
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: know this just in for wide.

1501
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 4: Receiver that's a good.

1502
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: Trait out of these first round of mock, drafts he

1503
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 1: is the guy that is mocked To bills a.

1504
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 2: Lot his name has popped up three different times heading

1505
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 2: To buffalo in the first, round one at twenty the

1506
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 2: other two at twenty. Six and checking Out boston's, tape

1507
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 2: WHAT i noticed is his size that jumps off the

1508
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 2: page right, away six four to two. Ten you've got good,

1509
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 2: Size you've got good. Length boston is an easy, mismatch

1510
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 2: which makes him a solid red zone. Target what you're

1511
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 2: gonna see Is boston being targeted a lot in the red.

1512
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,560
Speaker 2: Zone he's got twenty touchdowns over the last two. SEASONS

1513
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 2: i think has some really nice, vision a good catch

1514
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 2: radius due to his, size tough at the catch point

1515
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 2: because he has that bigger body at two hundred and ten.

1516
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 2: Pounds what it boils down to is he's a SOLID

1517
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 2: x wide receiver who can. Produce he knows how to

1518
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 2: use his size to his. Advantage or at six' four two.

1519
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 2: Hundred ten it makes him a home run in the.

1520
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 2: Red zone he has tough hands and a big. Catch

1521
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 2: radius he's got toughness off the line, of scrimmage but

1522
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 2: isn't going to. Beat everyone speed is not something that

1523
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 2: you watch his tape, and, think wow this is one

1524
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 2: of the fastest guys available in this.

1525
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 4: Draft class that.

1526
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: He's tough that's what happens when you get down to

1527
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:30,600
Speaker 1: the bottom of the.

1528
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 4: First round you're going to have to.

1529
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: Compromise somewhere either the guy is going to be really

1530
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: really fast but he's going to be really, really small

1531
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: or he's going to be really really big and not really.

1532
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Really fast they still should all be able, to, catch

1533
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: however and like we Saw, with keon his positives were

1534
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: his ability to win contested catches and his physicality is,

1535
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: a big big. Wide receiver it, wasn't speed it, wasn't

1536
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: separation it was contested catch. And size so when you

1537
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 1: get to this point of, the draft if you are

1538
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 1: going to pick, twenty six you got, to ask, you

1539
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: know where's the compromise for. This player And If denzel

1540
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,439

1572
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 2: after if they're looking for a wide receiver and looking

1573
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,759
Speaker 2: for something different that doesn't exist on. The roster currently

1574
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,920

1576
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: Back yeah the Guy Who mocked chris Brazil to the

1577
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 1: bills Is. Melk kiper, junior you know the guru guy

1578
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: who's made a. Living doing this his take is Also

1579
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 1: that If Brazil Or brazil brazel brazel ends Up, with

1580
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 1: the bills it will be after a handful of other

1581
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: guys are picked because the heat sees there's a bunch

1582
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: of Better.

1583
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 4: Prospects than brazel and.

1584
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: This is the guy that said if they do, get

1585
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 1: this guy there's going to be six wide receivers taken

1586
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: in the first round for the tenth time in.

1587
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 4: Since two thousand.

1588
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 1: So he's part of a group that is. Making his

1589
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: way he's got some. Physical to it if you're six',

1590
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: five playing wide receiver. You're, a tough matchup yeah. It's

1591
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: a tough matchup the height alone is intimidating for most

1592
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: dbs to go out. There AND line up so i

1593
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: think most teams will hesitate to man up on. A

1594
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: guy like that that's who is that tall and that

1595
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: gives you an edge right.

1596
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 4: Out of the gate that'll.

1597
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: Be interesting, to see but yeah his fluid motion, and

1598
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: his catch radius all of that makes him.

1599
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 4: A really good prospect.

1600
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: And then let's. Talk about a linebacker the favorite name

1622
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 1: green dot player which means he's the guy that.

1623
01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 4: Calls the defensive.

1624
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:03,400

01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: raise the level of the guys around. Him has been

1626
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: noted he's one of those guys he's in the middle

1627
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 1: of your defense and, when he's not there the.

1628
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 4: Other guys feel.

1629
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: It he's a little bit undersize. For an ideal linebacker he's,

1630
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,759
Speaker 1: only six to one but he. Weighs two thirty five

1631
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 1: but his instincts knows, for the ball speed all that

1632
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: stuff is off the charge and more than. Makes up

1633
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:31,679
Speaker 1: for that so he is a guy that he. Because

1634
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,600
Speaker 1: of his size he may last.

1635
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 4: To number Twenty.

1636
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: Six for the bills, ye if he does you're gonna

1637
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,400

1638
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: defense who's gonna step in and everybody's gonna know, his

1639

Speaker 1: name really quick.

1640
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 2: And that'll Be interesting are the bills? Targeting a middle

1641
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 2: linebacker do they want to see some shifting at who's

1642
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:54,719
Speaker 2: playing where within the linebacker spots. Open on The field

1643
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 2: as the bills move from a four three, to a

1644
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 2: three four you're gonna need. More more outside linebackers you're

1645
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,719
Speaker 2: gonna need guys who can be flexible in that position

1646
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 2: group with where they are on the line of scrimmage

1647
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,280
