Speaker 1: Had a Steve Tasker who has been all fields. He

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: had a dual role player, Steve Steve a blimp. We're

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:26,080

00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: maybe not doing work. Um, but we've got some great

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: guests today. We've got Kyle brand with us at one o'clock.

14
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: He hosts the Ten Questions with Kyle Brandt podcast. Of course,

15
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: is a good morning football host on it NFL network,

16
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: and he just had Josh Allen on his podcast. He

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: needed some help from Bill's Mafia to get Josh Allen

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and Bill's Mafia came through. I had

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: no doubt that it was going to happen. Once Kyle

20
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Brandt tweeted out like, Hey, I want Josh Allen on

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: this podcast. Can I get some help from Bill's Mafia?

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: And of course they came through. Yeah, he said it

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: took about an hour an hour, so the podcast was

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: an hour long, which an hour of Josh Allen's time

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: is very precious because he's trying to do big things

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: this season in twenty twenty one. But I listened to

27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: it this morning, and I'm sure some of you who

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: are listening right now have already listened to it. It's

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: a good listen. It went fast. The cool thing about

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: that podcast, and I'm Kyle's going to say all this,

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: but the cool thing is that it's like a competition.

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: So he throws questions at his his contestants or his

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: guests that relate to their life, and he tries to

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: stump them in crazy ways. The questions are so out there.

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I won't reveal his score, but he did

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: pretty good. Maybe Kyle will say his score, so we'll

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: have him on to talk about having Josh Allen on

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: the podcast, and then at two o'clock we're gonna have

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Rob rang on. He's a Fox Sports NFL draft analyst

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: has had some mock drafts come out and of course

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: covers the NFL, so we'll get his take on maybe

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: who he thinks the Bill should take with that number

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: thirtieth overall pick and what the Bills should do here

44
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty one draft as we approach it

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: just a few weeks away. We've got a Twitter pull

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: out today Twitter question and it is what's the boldest

47
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: move the Bills could still make this offseason? Is it

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: trade up in the draft for top prospect, sign a

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: big name free agent, swing a trade for of need

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: or other. We just put that out, so make sure

51
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: you guys reply on Twitter or give us a call

52

Speaker 1: at eight oh three five fifty to give us your

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Um. We also just signed or agreed

54
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: to terms with offensive guard forrest a Lamp on a

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: one year deal and he has his own lamp. Steve,

56
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: did you ever think that we would be agreeing to

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: terms with a player who has his own lamp and

58
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: has uh is sponsored by a lamp company. I mean,

59
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty out there in a cool way, in

60
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: a unique way. It's called the company's called Lamp Plus,

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: and the lamp the forest Sequoia is called the name

62
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: you guys are watching lamp. You can see various standard

63
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: with it. It's two hundred and twenty nine dollars. It's

64
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: pretty good looking lamp. I gotta say it's a big

65
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't have that money floor lamp. So it stands

66
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: on the ground and goes up, you know, and it's

67
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: pretty sure. I like it. That's that's Steve Tasker Milo

68
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: with the roots kind of sticking on the grounds of

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the stand. It goes up into Yeah, it's nice. It

70
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: is a nice lamp. I like it. Would you buy

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: it for your house? Actually, I'm thinking like yeah, because

72
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: our house. Part of the thing about our house it's

73
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: got like those timber frames in it. You know, it

74
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: would it would work perfectly well, right of course I

75
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: might be going on a little bit too much. No,

76
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, maybe I wouldn't. Why not? And so

77
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: with that I bring up forced lamp because if he

78
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: has an endorsement with Lamps Plus and has his own lamps,

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: we're thinking, all right, well, if you were to have

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: an endorsement or be sponsored by something, or have a

81
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: partnership with someone or something, what would it be? And

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: so I put that on Twitter. So respond to that,

83
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: give us a call, get involved in the conversation. So

84
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: we'll talk about some of that stuff as we go

85
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: on in the show. But so we got I found

86
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: that out because we you know, I guess you're on

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: this thing too. We get a a text from the club.

88
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: You know when when transactions like you know, forced Lamp

89
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: to a one year and that was right after they

90
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: signed Jamil Douglas to a one year contract, so they

91
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: signed a two offensive the offensive line group is getting

92
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: bolstered up. I want to say, if you know, we'll

93
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: see who makes a team. I mean again, this is

94
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: this is what Sean McDermott does and Brandon Bean does

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: before we hit training camp. Is they brill in competition.

96
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: You have a certain number that you can get to

97
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: once you start training camp, they're probably going to get

98
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: to that number, and they want competition. This guy forced Lamp.

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: He started in sixteen games for the San Diego Charging

100
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: you said San Diego yesterday? For in the Los Angeles

101
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: Chargers this past season, he has played in twenty five games,

102
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: started in eighteen. He spent four seasons with the Chargers. Unfortunately,

103
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: was injured his rookie season He was drafted in twenty

104
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: seventeen in the second round out of Western Kentucky. He

105
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: had an ACL injury in that rookie season so missed

106
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: that first season, but has worked his way into starting

107
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: in sixteen games. And I think when you can pick

108
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: up someone like that who has started in that many

109
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: games last season, that's gonna be bring some great competition

110
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: or some great depth to your offensive line room. And

111
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: every guy that we have agreed to terms with or signed,

112
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: who's going to bring that competition or bring that depth.

113
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: I think there's a big difference in this year the

114
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: players that we're bringing in versus even before I came

115
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, versus three or four years ago, when you're

116
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: just trying to fill the roster and when the Buffalo

117
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: Bills were still trying to make their way to win

118
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: a playoff game to get into the playoffs. I mean,

119
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: you're scrapping by and not saying that these players are terrible,

120
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: because they're in the NFL and they are great athletes,

121
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: and they deserve to be in the NFL. But there's

122
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: a different tier of athletes that we're getting right now.

123
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: I think because we made it to the AFC championship game,

124
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and that holds some weight, and people want to come

125
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: and play for the Buffalo Bills, and you're not just

126
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: signing undrafted rookie free agents and hoping that, hey, if

127
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: there's a hole, hopefully they can start in this week

128
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: eight game when we really need them. It's like, hey,

129
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: here's Forrest Lamp we have for he makes Let's say

130
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: he makes the team and we have an injury and

131
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: he comes in, or he earns a starting spot, or

132
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: whatever scenario that happens to get him on the field.

133
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I feel a lot more confident throwing someone like him

134
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: out who has sixteen games starting experience, rather than someone

135
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: who's an undrafted rookie free agent. Yeah, there's a lot

136
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: in there, because certainly when you're a good team, a

137
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: playoff team, and certainly with the arrow pointing you went

138
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship game last year, and the arrow

139
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: is a big perception around everybody us as Bills people

140
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: and Bills fans and national media and I think fans

141
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: at large. You still think as good as a season

142
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: as the Bills had last year, the arrows still pointing up.

143
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: So there's a big push, a big perception around the

144
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: country by players I want to be a part of.

145
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I want to find out what that's like. I want

146
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: to get exposed on national TV, like these guys are

147
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: gonna be. I want to try and make that team.

148
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: If I can make that team on a one year deal,

149
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to really hit a home run financially as well.

150
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Plus the culture and stuff. Everything you hear about the

151
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: club coming out of here these days has been positive,

152
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: really great. So it is a different place than the

153
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: Bills have been into, and I think there's a little something.

154
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I think there's a little something else in there that

155
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: gets pushed, you know, to a background because the team

156
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: is successful and all that. But one of the things

157
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: they're doing really well is there scratching, scratching around and

158
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: finding They seem to find find more quality players in

159
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: the same place as where the club used to not

160
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: be able to find good players, you know what I mean? Ye,

161
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: Like like they got they got a year out of

162
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain, Like nobody else has been able to get

163
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain to play as well as the Bills did. Nobody.

164
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: You gotta give up zero sacks two years ago. He

165
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: comes back and they compete and and that's just and

166
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: it goes a million miles because guys will say, well,

167
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: the guy was a starter last year. I don't know

168
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: if I can come in and unseen him. Somebody did

169
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: that last year. Quentin Spain got benched and then was released.

170
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna come in and play, you're gonna

171
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: get a chance to play. You're not gonna they're not

172
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: gonna give guys a chance to play, or come in

173
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: and tell them they're gonna come in and compete and

174
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: not mean it. So if you can come in and

175
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: play well, you can get on the field for this team,

176
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: if you're good enough, that goes miles and miles. I

177
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: think around the league and with players keep we've we've

178
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Quentin Spain twenty time. I don't know, started in

179
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: let's see, six seven, nine games with the Raiders before

180
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: he came to the Bills. The most he started in

181
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: a season was four in twenty eighteen with the Raiders

182
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: when they were still in Oakland. And then he comes

183
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: to the Bills in twenty nineteen and starts in sixteen games.

184
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: Like it's players like that playoffs that you can find it. Obviously,

185
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: he showed on tape and he showed from when the

186
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills started talks with him and hey, we want

187
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: you to come play here, that he had some potential

188
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: and proved it on the field in twenty nineteen, and

189
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: proved it on the field in twenty twenty when the

190
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: kid was asked to do several different things coming back

191
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: from an injury where he missed the first half of

192
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: the season, and then Mitch Morse goes out and he's

193
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: asked to play center and the offensive line doesn't miss

194
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: a beat. It's players like that that the scouting department

195
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo is so dang good at their job. Yeah,

196
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: and you know I was. We mentioned guys like that.

197
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain signed a deal to come back to Buffalo

198
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: because he loved it here. They got the most out

199
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: of him. He didn't give up a sack, he took

200
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: less money or didn't he really consider any other offers.

201
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: He said wanted to come back to Buffalo and then

202
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: went on his way five games into the season and

203
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: didn't really say anything bad about the club. He knew

204
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: it was him, you know, he wanted to play. But

205
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: I think players, I think most people would be shocked

206
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: that players if you're honest with them and they and

207
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: somebody else beats them out there. They get it. You know,

208
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: they're not bitter about it. They think they can still play,

209
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: and they probably most of them still can, but they

210
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: need a different situation. And I think that goes a

211
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: long way. When players are looking for a place to

212
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: be a professional athlete and play professional football, having a

213
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: place like Buffalo to Land, they know they're gonna get

214
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: great coaching, they're gonna get a chance to compete, and

215
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna get rewarded for their hard work. If there's

216
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: a way they can get get him on the field,

217
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: they're going to get him on the field. That's big,

218
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: that's really big. I mean, you look back like Jake Kumero.

219
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Nobody knew who Jake Kumero was going into the last season,

220
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: no preseason, no regular season. He comes in, he's working hard.

221
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: None of us see it. The guy works really hard.

222
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: He gets a game and catches a touchdown in Denver,

223
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: you know, and then he's back. You know. They just

224
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: kind of rewarded him with that. They did the same

225
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: thing with Duke Williams a couple of years ago. They

226
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: put him in the game a couple of times. He

227
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown, that goes a long way around the league.

228
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: When players start talking about what it's like in Buffalo,

229
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean the role that Isaiah McKenzie has been able

230
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: to craft for himself during his time here. That's a

231
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: player who can easily fall through the cracks, but who

232
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: worked his way up in practice and through the opportunities.

233
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 1: The tiny opportunities at first that he was given to

234
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: be placed on the field during games, whether that's starting

235
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: or not, are coming in for a couple of snaps

236
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: where he showed why he was valuable, and now Brian

237
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: dave All loves to have him in his offense and

238
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: loves to have him as an option. He scored what

239
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: six touchdowns this past season, seven total with that um

240
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: the return touchdown that he had, I believe where the

241
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: number six or seven. But it's it's young, younger and

242
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: guys like that who are maybe not first string players,

243
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: second string, third string, that get opportunities here on this team,

244
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of them have had successful stories come

245
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: out of those little opportunities that they've had, and it's

246
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: it's built this roster and this team into what they

247
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: are in the last couple of seasons, and the narrative

248
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: of this place has completely changed over the I want

249
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: to say, people could say that over the last two years,

250
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: over the last year, and rightfully. So you make the

251
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game, people are going to talk about you,

252
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: and people are going to know your name and know

253
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: what you're about way more than they would if you

254
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: just win one playoff game. And I say this because

255
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: we've been doing all these pro days the last couple

256
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: of weeks and there's no NFL scouting combine, so we're

257
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: not in Indianapolis this year, and you can go and

258
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: be a part of the pro day media availability on

259
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Zoom and so I've hopped into a bunch of these

260
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: Zoom rooms interviewing some of the guys who have been

261
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: mock drafted to us, and you ask them about Buffalo.

262
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: And last year when I was in Indie asking players

263
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: about Buffalo, was like, what do you know about Buffalo?

264
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: And the kids were like, I don't know. I know,

265
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: it's cold, I don't know a lot about Buffalo. Josh

266
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: Allen's there, Yeah, that's all I know. And this year

267
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: it is a one eighty. When you ask somebody what

268
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: they know about the Bills, it's man, that team played

269
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: so well last year, I would love to play for them.

270
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: I hear they've got a great culture. You know, Josh

271
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Allen is going to be an MVP quarterback one day.

272
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: If they drafted me, I would love to play for

273
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: that team. For example, one of Notre Dame's linebackers, Jeremiah

274
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Usu Kormora, I asked him on the Zoom Meat availability,

275
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think of Buffalo if you

276
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: were to get drafted there, and he brought up Leslie Frazier.

277
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: He said the team was crazy good. He lit up

278
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: when he was talking about the Buffalo Bills, Whereas last

279
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: year it was like, yeah, I don't know about anything

280
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: with Buffalo. I know they're maybe heading in the right direction,

281
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: but you know, you have one kickbut season like they did,

282
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: where you make it to the AFC Championship Game, unfortunately

283
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: you lose and don't get to the super Bowl. But

284
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: the narrative has changed and it is spread all over

285
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: the world and over the country that if you want

286
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: to play football and you can play football, this is

287
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good place to go. That's a different it's

288
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: a different environment, no question. They and it took you know,

289
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: let's face it took Sean McDermott and the crew four

290
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: years to get here, and uh, but they are. And

291
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: the thought being that this isn't just a window that's

292
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna slam shut at some point in the futures. You

293
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: know that this is a competitive organization, is going to

294
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: be at the top and in competitive in their division

295
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: and in the conference, you know, year after year and

296
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: year over year. So it's a good spot to be in. Um.

297
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: The Twitter poll is you know we put out today

298
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: is a little bit down those lines, and you know

299
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: what's next for them to do? I mean, we this

300
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: it's so rare that in Buffalo and for the people

301
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: who watch and listen to this program and follow the

302
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: Bills closely like we all do. Obviously, it's really rare

303
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: that you get a lot of Bills fans saying I

304
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: don't know, just I just gonna watch what Brandon does

305
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: because I know if we draft an offensive Linemana you

306
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: want to do, I trust you. That's It's been a

307
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: long time for that, right So, because I know that's

308
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: happened a number of times over these three or four

309
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: years where Sean McDermott and and of course Brandon Bean

310
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: when they do something, they bring these guys in After

311
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: the fact, it seems, wow, that was really smart. Yeah,

312
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that, you know, you get because

313
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: most fans will it'll cross their mind, said, yeah, we

314
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: might trade up or trade down if there's a guy

315
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: out of you think, well, I didn't think about doing that.

316
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: You are bringing in, you know, fifteen offensive linemen and

317
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: running them through and then cutting a couple of them

318
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: and bringing some more in and just starting the distillation

319
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: process way before training camp gets started. All of that stuff,

320
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: bringing guys in on one year proven deals. A ton

321
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: of guys like that. Yeah, and guys like Gabriel Davis

322
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: last year, a fourth fourth round wide receiver. When you

323
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: are told this year has the has a an unending

324
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: amount of great wide receivers, but they live in the

325
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: first and second round, and Brandon Bean says, hey, I

326
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: think there's one that I can get that's that's falling

327
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: day by day. And they pick him up in the

328
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: fourth round. And this kid earns a starting job in

329
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: the NFL and his first season and had a really

330
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: great career for ucf UM in college football. And the

331
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: riding was on the walls there, but it took um

332
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Brandon and his scouting department to go find a player

333
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: like that and think this person is going to fit

334
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: perfectly on this team. Like like this guy we've been

335
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: talking about for slamp six four three ten started all

336
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: started every game last year for the chart. He's a

337
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: starter and they bring him in on a one year

338
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: deal to just to complete me up, to keep, just

339
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: to compete. Yeah, that's it's different times of Buffalo. You

340
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta bring and like John like and we

341
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: all loved Feliciano, like Mango, we all like Cody Ford.

342
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: All these guys we love. You know, Mitch Moore, they've

343
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: played well, they're you know, they're part of a team

344
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: that got him to the champ biship level. They got

345
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: to bring it this year, you know, because they're they're

346
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: bringing guys in that have some chops to try and

347
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: take a job and try and be good enough to

348
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: make the team. It's it's an environment that guys thrive

349
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: in and to expect, but they also feel that the

350
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: pressure in you know, it's motivating all the way around.

351
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: And I love that because that's where you perform your

352
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: best and that's where the best really shine. And I

353
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: love that is the starting jobs are not given to anyone.

354
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: They're always earned on this team and with this coaching staff.

355
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's the case for every single

356
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: NFL team. I've never worked for any other NFL team

357
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: than the Buffalo Bills, but that wasn't the case for

358
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: some of the college football teams that I covered, where

359
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: coaches played favorites and where people were just given their

360
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: their starting job without having to earn it in every

361
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: training camp. And I love that Sean brings in and

362
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Brandon brings in all of this competition. And you know,

363
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: being an NFL player, you know how that helps you.

364
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: You know how that molds you and shapes you into

365
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: the person that you want to be and brings you

366
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: to that next level or gets that extra ounce out

367
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: of you without competition, Without doing that in training camp,

368
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: without saying we don't have a starting five yet. You

369
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: can earn your role on the starting offensive line or

370
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: on this defensive line, but we're not going to say

371
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: X y Z is going to start this year and

372
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: you have to earn it. I think you get that

373
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: much more out of the players, And I'm sure you

374
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: would agree with that based on your time in the

375
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: NFL too. Yeah. Absolutely, it means more when you have

376
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: to earn it, and you gain a level not only

377
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: of self respect when you earn it, but also respect

378
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: around the locker room. And and it goes when you

379
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: see things like that happens, say, for instance, last year,

380
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: bring them up again. It was unbelievable Quentin Spain didn't

381
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: give up a sack two years ago and was cut

382
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: four games into the season. That when you earn it,

383
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: when you get it and it's given to you, it

384
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: ripples throughout. When like the Quentin Spain situation didn't wasn't

385
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: just about the left guard of the Bills. It was

386
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: about every position. Because guys are sitting at a wide

387
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: receiver or a cornerback and they're looking at what happened

388
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: to him and how he and how he lost it.

389
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: So everybody's watching it. You live with these guys and

390
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: you're just sitting in the room with them and you

391
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: see what's going on with him, and you hear about

392
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: how it happened and what it was problem, what his

393
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: problems were, why he did this and what happened, why

394
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: this happened, what happened, And it's like, man, it elevates

395
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: everybody's desire to turn it up a notch because the

396
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: coaches are not kidding around. They have they are not

397
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: letting up. They are going to get the best guys

398
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: out there. And if you want to be out there,

399
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: you gotta be that. And that message is you may

400
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: as well tattooed on your face because every time you

401
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: look in the mirror, you see it. It's a It

402
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: is an amazing It has an amazing effect all over

403
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: the roster. When you get a head coach and a

404
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff who have constantly evaluate, constantly motivate, constantly reward,

405
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: constantly penalize or detract or have it talking to you know,

406
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: have it, sit the guy down, you got you gotta

407
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: start doing better. But when they back it up with

408
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: playing time, practice time, game time, man o man, I

409
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: mean it's it really elevates the entire roster. It's not

410
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: just about the one position that you're looking at. Other

411
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: guys are looking at it going wow, that's that could

412
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: be me. And that's how you develop. From week one

413
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL season this last year where they can

414
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: they got out of the gate fast to a team

415
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: that was hanging forty six, forty eight points on teams.

416
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: It was amazing and that having a coaching staff that

417
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: would do that sends that message and gets guys. You know,

418
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: everybody elevates when that happens. I mean you could it

419
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: was palpable with that team, even though we couldn't see

420
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: him and getting me around him, it was palpable. You

421
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: watch this team play that it was there they had.

422
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: They felt inside of him they had to play better

423
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: every week and man oh man, they did. And you

424
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: can feel that with work ethic too. And I think

425
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: our leaders in the locker room are people who have

426
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: an incredible work ethic and are on the field after practice,

427
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: and are on the field before practice, and are practicing

428
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: outside of the practice window and our watching film outside

429
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: of when you're in meetings, and it's that work ethic

430
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: that bleeds through an entire team. And a rookie sees

431
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen outside after practice for thirty minutes, still throwing

432
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: or trying to get a route down with his wide receiver,

433
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: and that rookie is going to also hang out there

434
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: on the practice field and that work ethic is going

435
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: to push you to where you want to go. And

436
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: I love that this team has it because I really

437
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: believe that they do. And if you don't have that

438
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: work ethic, you want to work up to it. And

439
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: if you're going through a rut or you're going through

440
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games where you get benched, you're gonna

441
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: want to work harder. I mean, I remember what it

442
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: was like when I played softball competitively. I was a

443
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: leadoff lefty slapper, and if I wasn't if my batting

444
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: average wasn't great that game or wasn't great over a week,

445
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: I would get put at that number nine spot and

446
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: I would hate that. But to get back up there,

447
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: I would practice after practice to get back up to

448
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: that leadoff spot. And I think it's the same with

449
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: these guys, and the same with the type of character

450
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: players that Brandon Bean and that Sean McDermott go after. Yeah,

451
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: and my life is still affected by the team I

452
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: played on here in Buffalo back in the nineties. And

453
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I've said it a million times. You mentioned the work ethic,

454
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: and this club is like everybody asked me, how is

455
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: this team liked? The team with Bruce and Jim and

456
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: Thurman and those guys are how are they similar? One

457
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: thing similar? The best players, which is Josh Tremaine Tredavious Micah,

458
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, you get down the list the best players,

459
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: the best players are the ones that work the hardest.

460
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: That's that's the similarity to the nineteen nineties Bills teams

461
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: and went to four Super Bowls in a row to

462
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: this one. The best and most important players are the

463
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: ones that work the hardest, and they don't think they're

464
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: above it either. That's right. They own it. Josh when

465
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: he when he blows it, Josh owns it. Jim did

466
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: the same thing, Kelly when he made a bad throw

467
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: or bad read or whatever you get dib and that's

468
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: my bad. He owned it. And when he did that,

469
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: how many times do we see Josh Allen points to

470
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: his chest in a game when when he does something wrong,

471
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: when he does that or when Jim used to do it,

472
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: everybody else there. Well, if he's gonna own his mistakes,

473
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: who am I not to own mine? You know who

474
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: am I gonna blame? Right? So, and if he's you know,

475
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: he's there, he's not going anywhere. This is before free agency,

476
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: where you know he's not going anywhere. And if he's

477
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: working that hard, I'm expendable, he's not. I am so

478
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: I've got to match his work ethic. At least I've

479
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: got to own my mistakes or you know, everybody else's

480
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: like baggage. You can throw that thing off first, right,

481
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: that goes off the train first. So it's exactly like

482
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: this is now with this Bill's team. Josh Tredevious, Tremaine, Feliciano, Digs, Beasley,

483
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Hide and Poyer, all those guys are the hardest working guys.

484
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: And so you know, all these guys that come in

485
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: on these one year deals and the rookie free agents,

486
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: and you know, the like the Duke Williams of the

487
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: world and the Jake Kumero's of the world. Man, they

488
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: gotta they gotta turn it up to hang in there

489
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: and be part of it. So that's you know, I'm

490
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: still thinking about and seeing exactly what you had just

491
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: said about. It's the work ethic that gets you. Obviously,

492
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: working hard at it gets you better, but it doesn't

493
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: only get you better when you're already really good. It

494
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: gets the guys around you better. That's how the whole

495
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: team and that's why players like Mitchell Travisky want to

496
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: come here on a one year deal and back up

497
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Josh Allen. Did he have other opportunities

498
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: out there? Probably did he choose to go elsewhere and

499
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: maybe earn a starting job. I'm not sure what those

500
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: other conversations were like, but ultimately he chose to come

501
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: to Buffalo to back up Josh where he thinks being

502
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: in this environment is going to be helpful to him

503
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: and where he can learn. And people walk into this

504
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: environment here on one year deals on prove it deals,

505
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, okay, this is how they go

506
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: about the business here, this is how it's done here.

507
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: This is what it looks like to be a good team,

508
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: and this is what a well oiled machine looks like.

509
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: All right, I'm getting on the train because if I don't,

510
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: then I don't make the team, right, That's right? Yeah,

511
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: And it's a it's a The ripple effects starts with

512
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: McDermott and being and those guys and Sean McDermott, you know,

513
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: being the guy that recognizes smart enough and engaged enough

514
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: all the way across the roster to see the nuances

515
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: of guys who are working hard and having the ability

516
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: and the desire to reward that work hard work with

517
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: whatever he does, you know, and then and doing it

518
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: all the way across the roster um really really adds

519
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: to the way the momentum that the team gains throughout

520
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: the year. It's a good place to be here right now,

521
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: and it's a good place to be in RCS two

522
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: getting to talk about all of this and all the

523
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: positivity um here at one Bill's Drive. I already cannot

524
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: wait till these players get back um here and start practicing.

525
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for that to happen. The season ended

526
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, when is the season going to begin?

527
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: So much, Yes, but I kind of missed it, and

528
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm kind of I was done with

529
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: it when I retired. I've played long enough and I'm

530
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: watching it. Training Campe's a hassle for me, right But

531
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: now I'm kind of I'm interested in what going out

532
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: and seeing them again. It's been too long, So yeah,

533
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you. I missed those guys. Well, we've

534
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: got a lot left in the show. Just getting started

535
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: here twelve thirty on Wednesday, early afternoon. We've got Kyle

536
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Brandt coming up at one o'clock clock and got Rob

537
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: Rain coming up at two. But when we come back

538
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: some more Conversation One Bill's Live, presented by Kalidah Health

539
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Thanks for being with us today,

540
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Folk meac into One Bills Live. We've got a Twitter

541
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: poll going on. It's what's the boldest move the Bills

542
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: could still make this off season? Is it trade up

543
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: in the draft for a top prospect, sign a big

544
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: name free agent, swing a trade for a position of

545
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: need or other? And we've got some early responses coming in,

546
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get into a couple of those. Let's

547
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: go to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you

548
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

549
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And as we look at our poll,

550
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: in verse place is trade up in the draft for

551
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: top prospect. I like how these people are thinking. Forty

552
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: seven point three percent of them say this number two

553
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: is trade for a position of need at thirty point

554
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: three percent and then sign a big name free agent

555
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: and other is ten percent. Steve, how would you answer

556
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: this question? I might trade for position of need that way,

557
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: you know what you're kind of getting. You've seen this

558
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: guy play in the NFL. You know what he's got.

559
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: He's the right age, he's the right size, he's the

560
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: right skill set, you've seen him be productive at this level.

561
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: Because even trading up in the draft it's a little

562
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: bit of a crap. Certainly, there are guys with some

563
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: physical gifts in this draft, but you don't know what

564
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: you're getting. At least you know guys have been productive

565
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: at this level, being a pro for some team, even

566
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: if it was a bad team or a good team

567
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 1: or whatever. You have a better idea of what you're

568
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: getting when you trade for him. Certainly, it'll cost you

569
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: more than a single draft pick, because there's always a

570
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: chance you take a seventh round draft pick and he

571
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: turns into you know, a sixth round draft pick turns

572
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: into Tom Brady. I mean, that could always happen, but

573
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: for the most part, those guys struggle to make the team.

574
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: So I would say, trade for more of a sure

575
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: thing in a spot where you really need it. I

576
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: like that. I could go for that, you know, swing

577
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: a trade for a position of need. But I like

578
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: some excitement in my life. So Brandon, if you're listening,

579
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: please trade up in the draft for top prospect. I

580
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: think that would be so great. Its depending on what

581
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: I mean, depending on how the board falls in depending

582
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: on how the first round goes, right, They're only going

583
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: to trade up if they see someone who they think

584
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: is within reach, that is high up on their board

585
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that's still available. Wait until it gets down to a

586
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: point in the in the last half of that drown

587
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: round first round. So one of the guys they really

588
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: want drops to a certain spot where a certain team is,

589
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: they'll say, let's call him. So that's what will happen.

590
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Who whether it's at twenty twenty three, twenty five, twenty seven,

591
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: or twenty eight. Yeah, if someone's still around that they

592
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: are they love and that they have graded very highly,

593
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm all for moving up and getting I hope it's

594
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: a defensive player. Um. I think we're pretty stacked on

595
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: offense with our offensive line, and I mean we've been

596
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: signing a bunch of offensive linemen to help with depth.

597
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, if there's a great offensive lineman at

598
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty five rout twenty, yes, go get him. But I'm

599
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: thinking more in the vein of a defensive player that

600
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: be a corner, whether that be an edge rush or

601
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: someone who can make an immediate impact, because I think

602
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: that's what we would all be looking for at that

603
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: number thirty position, whether they stay there or whether they

604
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: move up, is someone who can help with this team

605
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: right away because made it's the AFC Championship last year.

606
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: This year, the goals to get there and the goals

607
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: to get past to ever whatever team is in their

608
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: way to make it to the super Bowl. I think

609
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: that's that's within reach with this team and what they

610
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: did last season. A couple more things go right in

611
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: that AFC Championship game, we maybe we would be into

612
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: in a different place right now, maybe we would be

613
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl champions. But I don't. I think it's a

614
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: normal thing to say. With the type of players on

615
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: this roster right right, I'm kind of with you. I

616
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: think they might be looking defensive on the defensive side

617
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: of the ball, either at corner um, defensive lineman. But yeah,

618
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm right, Grey was you know in the

619
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: last thing we were talking about. Whatever Brandon does, I

620
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: trust him, he'll know these guys better than I do.

621
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: Trust him. I do know this. Everything is always on

622
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: the table. With Brandon being a Sean McDermott. They could

623
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: trade up, they could trade down, they could stand pat,

624
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: they could they could pick an offensive player a big guy,

625
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: an athlete. They could pick a wide receiver for all.

626
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: They may pick a quarter they could pick a quarterback

627
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: for away. I don't care. I don't know, right, So

628
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: whatever they do, they've got an idea about what they're

629
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: doing and they're gonna know what better than I do.

630
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: So so yeah, they've they've earned that with me. But

631
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm if I'm sitting back, you know,

632
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: looking at the ceiling, thinking about what they're gonna do,

633
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing them pick at thirty, Right,

634
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: That's what I'm feeling, not because it has never happened

635
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: or what. I just have a hard time seeing Brandon

636
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: And you're waiting for a long time also to pick

637
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: out thirty. Yeah, you're waiting for a hanging out. And

638
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: I think they'll know or at least have touched base

639
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: with every other GM in the league, and certainly the

640
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: ones that are ahead of them five or ten spots,

641
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: plus the guys at the top. They'll be in touch

642
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: and contact with him about what they're thinking about, what

643
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: they're what information they glean about their own predicament, what

644
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: it would take to switch places. Yeah, and why would

645
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: they do it? And why would they not when would

646
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: they be open to doing it and when would they

647
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: not be open to doing it. I think it comes

648
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: down to the same old thing. Yeah, we'll trade the

649
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: pick if our guy's gone exactly, but if he falls

650
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: to us, we're gonna stay here and pick. Yeah. And

651
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: that's exactly when the Bills would like to trade up,

652
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: because they said, well, who's your guy? Yeah, they said, well,

653
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: there's a couple of them, but you know, we're not

654
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: gonna tell you. Well, then you got to kind of

655
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: guess about who their guy is, and then you may

656
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: have to jump up ahead of them to make sure

657
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: you get your guy because your guy may be the

658
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: same guy as there guy. Yeah, it's a it's a

659
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: long day. But when you start talking like that, it

660
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: almost seems impossible to stand pat right. Yeah, I completely agree,

661
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: But here you start, it's gonna be a long night.

662
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait, can't let him get my guy. So

663
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. I have I find it really

664
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: difficult to believe the Bills will stand pad at thirties.

665
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: Although you know they're gonna get a really good player.

666
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna get They're gonna get one of the top

667
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: players in the country. Coming out of college at thirty,

668
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: just like every other team will. But there'll be a

669
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: guy out there for him. I think. So let's get

670
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: into the tweet sheet. Maybe answer one or two of

671
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: these are read off one or two these answers that's

672
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: presented by the Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

673
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And we'll go with David first.

674
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: He is answer to what's the boldest move the Bills

675
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: could still make this offseason? He says d other he says,

676
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: trade down and get more draft picks for this year

677
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: and next year. Then get steals and solid players that

678
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: will create competition up and down the roster. We kind

679
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: of talked about that already. I mean, if if your

680
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: guy's not around, if you can get steals, you don't

681
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: need to Yeah, you don't need to trade up or

682
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: trade down. Just take whoever's there. Your guy's not around

683
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: at thirty and you didn't trade up to go get anybody,

684
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: then trade down a few spots, trade into the second round,

685
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: and get more in return. Yeah, we've seen teams do that.

686
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep track of how successful they've been. Overall.

687
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: I think I've heard some good gems including Brandon Bean

688
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: say this, it's crazy to think you're going to be

689
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: able to draft better than everybody else every year. It's crazy.

690
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: You've got to think you're gonna get most teams get

691
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: them up half right, But on the guys they hit

692
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: and the guys they miss on, even the guys that

693
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: make the team for a year or two, they're only

694
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, half as good as they thought they were,

695
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: or they're twice or they're better twice as good as

696
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: they thought they were. So you hit like you're fifty

697
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: percent is what you're shooting for. And it is does

698
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: make sense to go out and try and get twenty

699
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: draft picks. So if you cut that in, if you've

700
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: got ten good players, you can't do that. You know,

701
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: you can't highten. You just don't have enough to trade

702
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: to those team because you got to trade away your

703
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: whole team for guys that aren't even in the league yet.

704
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: So that's crazy. But if you can hit on if

705
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: you really can't hit on three and a half guys,

706
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: a draft for six for seven picks, and if we

707
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: have six this year, now we have seven, we have

708
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: two fifths, No, we have seven seven seven, We have

709
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: two fifths and no sixth or no fourth, four, no fourth, okay,

710
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: So we have a regular seven first, second, two fifths

711
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: and a sixth, fifth, six, seventh, okay, two fifths. There

712
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: we go. So we have seven picks six seven thirty

713
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: sixty one, ninety three, sixty one, seventy four, two thirteen,

714
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: two thirty six. We have seven picks. So you gotta

715
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: hit three and a half of those, right, you gotta

716
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: hit three and a half of those. You think you're

717
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: probably gonna hit the first, second, third rounders because they

718
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: have more physical traits, but it could be a fifth, six,

719
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: seventh rounders. Matt Milano's a fifth round. Yeah, So Boston College,

720
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: that's what you that's what you're shooting for. You're trying

721
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: to hit on half of these guys. But if you

722
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: get down to the seventh round, you're gonna get a

723
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: guy who maybe he can play, but he's gonna here's

724
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: what he's gonna be like. He's gonna be like Levi Wallace.

725
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: He's you know, okay, he's the best guy we got,

726
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: but we're trying to replace him every year now we

727
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: can't been able to get it done. That and good

728
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: on him, but it like Levi Wallace was a rookie

729
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: free agent, so that that is that's a home run,

730
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: a three year starter as a rookie free agent, So

731
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking at, you know, and then you

732
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: know they get other guys that aren't even here right

733
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: so that they've drafted, so you're not gonna it's crazy

734
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: like Brandon Being and other gems have said, it's crazy.

735
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna draft better than everybody else. You

736
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: may do it one year, but that's a roll of

737
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: the dice as to which year it's going to be.

738
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: So you you know, haven't you got the same draft

739
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: picks overall? And you know, push comes to show you

740
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: got the same ones as everybody else. You got to

741
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: get guys that help you, that fit you, and guys

742
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: that maybe tip the scales. So that are one of

743
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: these guys that are on the day, you know, two

744
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: years into their career, they're gonna be way better than

745
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: they were with the day you drafted them as a

746
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: fifth rounder. Those kind of guys you might be able

747
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: to find because they're different upstairs, you know, from the

748
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: neck up, they're different. And that's what the Bills look for.

749
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: A lot of teams do, but you got to be

750
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: good at getting it. And so I I don't know

751
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: about aiding up, trading down, or whatever, but you got

752
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: to hit some of these guys. And it only gets

753
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: harder this year. I think with the body of work

754
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: that they don't have to see. Some of these guys

755
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: opted out. Some of these players were on teams that

756
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: played half of a season only UM, so they are

757
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: dealing with and have a lot less to look at

758
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: than they would in a normal year. And I go

759
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: back to the podcast that we recently taped with Brandon

760
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: and Kim Pagoula, and I asked, Brandon, you know, is

761
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: it enough And the answer was no, it's not enough.

762
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: We wish there was more that we had to look at. UM.

763
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: We wish there was more that we could see, but

764
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: because of COVID, there's not. And it's not like we're

765
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: alone on this subject. You know, every GM, every UM

766
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: scouting department, every scout feels this exact same way, and

767
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: that no, it's it's not a good enough pick, sure,

768
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: but it's we're all gonna have to work through it

769
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: and figure it out. So I wonder if this year

770
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: teams will hit on less players because they don't have

771
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: as much to look at, and because they don't, they

772
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: can't visit, and they can't be in the same room

773
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: with these guys, and and you can't do the things

774
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: that you were able to do during a scouting combine

775
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: where you can have those face to face interviews. It's

776
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: all over zoom again. Yeah, I think it'll you probably will.

777
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: There will be some guys that they miss on, but

778
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: they're also going to be some guys that are just

779
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: the opposite that they hit on and draft because you know,

780
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: they know there's there's gonna be the other way as well.

781
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: I think guys that they that they do know about

782
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: that they are going to find. I think guys that

783
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: are going to excel, they're gonna get more guys more

784
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: chances who wouldn't otherwise have gotten one because they didn't

785
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: click enough boxes and for some reason they slip through

786
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: the crack and they elevate. It's hard to find out

787
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: who those guys would be in point to those guys.

788
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: But um, they're still opportunities out there for all these

789
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: young guys coming out of college that it's the same

790
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: opportunities it is every year. I think they have a

791
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: better chance of impressing guys with less effort than they

792
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: have because they know they don't have to put in

793
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: a full season to do it. So it's an interesting question.

794
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to see the answer to come the

795
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: last weekend in April. Yeah, we'll see soon enough. We're

796
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna take a break when we come back. We're getting

797
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: close to having Kyle. We'rent on at one o'clock. Stay

798
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: with us here One Bills Live presented by Clyde Health

799
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on One Bills Live.

800
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: We've been talking about our Twitter poll that's out today.

801
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: What's the boldest move the Bills could still make this

802
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: off season? Is it trading up in the draft, signing

803
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: a big name free agent, swinging a trade for a

804
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: position of need or other. We're going to answer one

805
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: more of these. It's from Alex. We'll head back to

806
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet presented by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

807
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and Alex says

808
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen extension, which would fall under the other

809
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: dreaded other. But yeah, some big money do we have

810
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: it this year? My bigger question is for you Maddie,

811
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: what when are you going to panic about them not

812
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: having Josh Allen extended. I don't think I will because

813
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen, and I know if

814
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: you listen to the Kyle Brandt podcast, Josh was asked

815
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: about the extension and he said, it'll happen when it happens,

816
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: which is what a lot of people would say, and

817
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: he basically said, Brandon Bean is great at his job.

818
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna focus on my job, but he focuses on

819
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: his and when this comes together, it's going to work

820
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: out for both of us, and Kyle mentioned, well, hey,

821
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: Brandon was on a recent podcast too where he was

822
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: asked about this subject and he said, if we can't

823
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: get it done this year, I'd love to get it

824
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: done next year. And Kyle said, what's your what's your

825
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: reaction off that? And Josh again said, you know, I

826
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: trust Brandon to make the right decision for me and

827
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: for this team, so I'm I'm not worried about it

828
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: because I think it's going to happen. Do I think

829
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: it's going to happen this year with a salary cap?

830
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, maybe you know, they could do

831
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: it anyware time over the next two years and be

832
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: fine this year in the upcoming year that and they will,

833
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just yeah, I think it will have

834
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: to get to the point where, almost like Dak Prescott,

835
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: it's a territory where he's been franchised once and franchised again,

836
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: and you know, then i'd start to pay Yeah, no,

837
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: none of that. Just just do it when it makes

838
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: the most sense of the next two Yeah, that's like

839
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: three years away if they could franchise him. Yeah, So

840
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know, I don't see I'm doing that. Yeah.

841
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: I think you want to get into this the CBA

842
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: and get into you know, get past the pandemic. You

843
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: got the TV money coming to THEE. Maybe wait years,

844
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: maybe wait another season until you see twenty twenty three

845
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: coming down the line and we get an idea of

846
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: what that CAP's gonna look like, and then say, okay,

847
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: here's what we're working with Josh, how about this, And

848
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: by that time he'll be making forty five million dollars,

849
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: between forty five and fifty million dollars. I hope they

850
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: do it within two years. I don't want it. I

851
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: don't want the franchise tag. For him. I mean, if

852
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: you sign him now to a ten year deal, it's

853
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: only going to get cheaper down the road, and you

854
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: can don't sign him, it's going to get more expensive exactly.

855
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: And we saw how Patrick Mahomes deal worked out, how

856
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: it was very team friendly, very team friends. It was

857
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: a long term deal. He got a lot of a

858
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: lot of guaranteed money and he gets a big balloon,

859
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: gets big balloon payments along the way. Yeah, so I

860
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: could see it. Do you like that getting done? But

861
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to know that your guy's going

862
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: to be your guy for a long, long time. All Right,

863
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: it's time for another break. But when we come back,

864
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: we will have NFL Network Good Morning Football hosts Kyle

865
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: Brandt on with us to talk about having Josh Allen

866
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: on his Ten Questions with Kyle Brant podcast. So stick around, please,

867
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: because it's going to be a great conversation with an energetic,

868
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: very energetic person. Had a chef tester who has been

869
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: all over the fields. He was kind of a cool

870
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: role player for you see a blimp. We're not even

871
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: in the spreaded fear of normalcy. Are you familiar with

872
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: the nickname sugar Hi Josh Allen, I am, and yeah, yeah,

873
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: you're the creator of it. Believe I created it as

874
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: far as you understand what what does it mean? Means?

875
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: Like when you take a bunch of sugar and you

876
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: get all hopped up and your mind isn't function as

877
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: well as you wanted to function and just kind of

878
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: all hell breaks loose, no Old's bar and um again,

879
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm sometimes I can produce a little bit of chaos

880
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: on the field, but at that time, at the same time,

881
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: I say that I feel like I thrive a little

882
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: bit in a little chaos, and yeah, that's chaotic structure. Um,

883
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of what I'm used to. And it's always

884
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: been a part of my game. It's just honestly me

885
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: trying to make plays and trying to do what's what

886
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: I think is right and what I feel is right

887
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: on the field in order to help my team win

888
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: football games. And obviously, I think I've slowly moved away

889
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: from sugar Hi Josh Allen, and he'll he'll pop up

890
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: every once in a while, but it's just because I

891
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: want it so bad. That was Josh Allen's take on

892
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: him being sugar Hi Josh Allen, which we saw a

893
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: lot less of this year, and now we are going

894
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: to be joined by the creator of the Sugar Hi

895
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen nickname himself. It's Kyle Brand, NFL Network good

896
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: Morning Football host and host of the Ten Questions with

897
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand podcast by the ringer Kyle. I love that

898
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: you brought this up to Josh Allen, and I love

899
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: also that he was like, oh, yeah, you're the creator

900
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: of that nickname, and he owned up to a little bit.

901
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: But we also learned he kind of likes being Sugar

902
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: Hi Josh Allen to a point too. Yeah. I didn't

903
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: shed it at all. And it's fun and Steve, great

904
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: to see you and everything. It's it's fun because this show,

905
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: we have talked many times about Sugar Hi Josh Allen

906
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: over the last two years. It's just part of the

907
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: vernacular we've developed and bills, fans tweet it, and you know,

908
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: if Josh makes a play that's a little nuts, or

909
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't make a play and it's a little nuts.

910
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: I always see it constantly sent to me over social media.

911
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: So when he sits down, you gotta put the cards

912
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: on the table. You gotta say, look, Josh, I'm not

913
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and pretend that doesn't happen. Are you

914
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: familiar with it? And I don't really know if he

915
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: is or not? What the hell's that? I didn't get

916
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: the phrase out of my mouth yet, and he's already

917
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: not all I know the sugar Hi, Josh Shallon. And

918
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: yet to your point, Maddie, like he laughs a little

919
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: bit and then he gets a little steely, and he

920
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: does not shed the nickname, nor is he hiding from

921
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: what it's all about. And I think it just represents

922
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: everything Josh did when we sat down for an hour

923
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: last week. You've been on one Bill's Live with Us

924
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: were you were a regular during the season. It was

925
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: such a fun season, it was great. So you kind

926
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: of more so than he perhaps national media person, you

927
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of get what the Bill's vibe is, both from

928
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: the fans, the mafia and the you know, the team

929
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: and from us here on this show. You really basically

930
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 1: you kind of you had to know once you decided

931
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: you want to Josh on the on the podcast. Took

932
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: it like an hour to make that happen. And it's

933
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: years kind right, right, we hasn't been on our show

934
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: in a year, right, So, but it's it was kind

935
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: of really cool that you knew that if you just

936
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: went to the family, you know, you get the kid.

937
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: You know, the sun was gonna come to the to

938
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: do what you said. You know, you go to the

939
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: parents and the kid does what he's told, So you

940
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: go to the mafia, and you know, lo and behold

941
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, you you know, he's on

942
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: the podcast. It was kind of you could get a

943
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: feel for that though, right, Steve, It's it's an incredible

944
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: origin story how this happened. And I would say this,

945
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: I think nationally, people here on other parts of the

946
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: kind of Bill's Mafia, This Bill's Mafia, we get it.

947
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: You guys jump through tables, you'll wait at the tarmac.

948
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It's not really that big of a deal.

949
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: Let me respond to that, all right. I have been

950
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: trying to get Josh Allen on Ten Questions for many

951
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: months and for many reasons, most of which that he

952
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: was focused on the football season. It couldn't happen, but

953
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: there's chains of communication and he's here and he's it's

954
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: just it's difficult to book these things. So I just

955
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: had a moment where I walked off set from Good

956
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: Morning Football. I'm like, God, I really want to do

957
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: Josh right now. I want to have him on the show.

958
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: She go to Twitter and I just tweeted, I'd really

959
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: like to have at Josh Allen QB and the show.

960
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Bill's Mafia would help me recruit him.

961
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: Send the tweet out, go about your day. Fifty six

962
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: minutes later, fifty six. I looked at the timestamp. I

963
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: looked at the clock. I get an email from the

964
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: great Kevin Kerns. It just says, Josh is in. I go,

965
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: I replayed, Wait, he's in. He's gonna do it. He's in.

966
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: How's next Tuesday? Fifty six minutes? Now? To fight any

967
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: other fan base thirty one other fan bases to turn

968
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: it around at all, let alone that quickly. I would

969
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 1: challenge the dog Pound to get Baker Mayfield in fifty

970
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: six minutes. I would challenge the twelfth Man to get

971
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in fifty six minutes. You couldn't do it

972
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: in five years. Bills fans bam under an hour, and

973
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: Josh and I talked about it. I said, what was

974
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: that like for you? He goes started seeing all my

975
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: mentions big, I gotta do this. Once Big John Feliciano

976
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: jumped in and said, I gotta do it. I was

977
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: in under an hour, and I applaud you, Bills Mafia.

978
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: You're the real deal. I mean, you just cracked the

979
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: code to how you should get interviews with people you want.

980
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: Someone on Good Morning Football. Put it out on Twitter.

981
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: Let the fans set it up for you. Don't go

982
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: through the PR department, although they may be like, no, no,

983
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: that's not right, Kyle, you need to come through us first,

984
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: but hey, it works with you with Josh Allen with

985
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia. Thank you John Feliciano, his right hand man.

986
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: What was your favorite part about taping this podcast? Maybe

987
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 1: one of your favorite answers that you got from Josh Allen,

988
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: because once you're in a conversation with him for you know,

989
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to an hour, you got an hour, lucky you.

990
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: But he's a fun, cool dude to talk with, and

991
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: it's like, I could I could share a beer with

992
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: this guy, would be a great time. I know, it's

993
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 1: it's Mattie, you know, it's you sit down and it's

994
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: not this super super uptight, kind of stuffy quarterback politician.

995
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: It's cool guy. I liked him immediately that we had

996
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: an instant icebreakers. In the first thirty seconds, He's making

997
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: all these like, you know, movie references and stuff, but

998
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: not the topical stuff. He was going deep cut B

999
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: side type references. And I'm like, Josh, this is gonna

1000
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: be really fun. You and I gonna get along because

1001
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: you know Steve, you know I made crazy references like

1002
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: that all the time, and so we immediately bonded. I

1003
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: think I think I had a lot of favorite answers.

1004
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: I think some of them were more interesting and serious.

1005
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: But there's one thing you do not challenge Josh Allen on.

1006
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with ball and has everything

1007
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: to do with the cantalope farm. And I went at

1008
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: him and I said, Josh, there's a reputation out there.

1009
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's my own. You know, the cantalope

1010
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: is it's a filler fruit. It's just something that's there

1011
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: to you know, set the stage for the more star

1012
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: driven fruits like raspberry and pineapple. Basically, what I'm saying,

1013
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 1: Josh is cantlope is the offensive lineman of the fruit salad.

1014
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: It's just there. It's your classic left guard. He got triggered.

1015
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: He stood up higher in his seat. I say, what

1016
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: would you say? He said, well, they've never had real cantalope. Okay, Josh,

1017
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know I could be fired up by a

1018
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: cantalope take. But I was went deep on that and

1019
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: then had other takes on pistachios, all over the all

1020
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: over the board. Really, I mean we talked heavy stuff.

1021
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: We talked about the draft, We talked about how are

1022
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: you gonna beat the Chiefs. We talked about getting vaccinated,

1023
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: like it was all like it wasn't just movie references

1024
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: and produced like we were really went deep and Josh

1025
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: was willing. It was very cool. What did he talk

1026
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: to you about? What he's doing these days? I mean,

1027
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: he's got some family events coming up, He's got all

1028
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. What's he doing in the office, Because

1029
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: we always get stuff here, we start to take note

1030
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: of it when a workout video shows up, when you know,

1031
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: when he's throwing with Steph Diggs the first time they meet,

1032
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: that kind of what's he doing? Now, where's he add

1033
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: and what's going on with Josh at this point of

1034
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: the offseason. Yeah, he talked a lot about Steve. You know,

1035
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: he's in southern California where he likes to set up shop.

1036
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: He's training with his guys as he always does. It

1037
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: was funny when we started. Some people, when they do

1038
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: ten questions, they start a little nervous, like I start

1039
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: a little tense because there's a score involved, Like you know,

1040
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: Paul Rudd comes on the show and it's like America's

1041
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: sweethearted by love. Him was a little nervous, and I

1042
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: think Josh was going to be, but then he said,

1043
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, I've got to give a best man toast

1044
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: at my brother's wedding this weekend. So I was like, Oh,

1045
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: this is nothing. That's high stakes. You can't mess that up.

1046
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: So he was. His mind was totally focused on that,

1047
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: which allowed him to focus on this. I know his

1048
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: brother was getting married, he was delivering the toast. I

1049
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: think it's happened by now, so I assume he's nailed it.

1050
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: And then I said, so, Josh, what's it like do

1051
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: you watch the draft like? And what is it like

1052
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: as not only a player on the team now, but

1053
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: the star quarterback to sit there and watch your new

1054
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: teammates be plucked out of college and now you're gonna

1055
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: know them, go to battle them next year. And he

1056
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: has a very interesting perspective, and he seemed to indicate

1057
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: he thought that Bills would go defense. And yet when

1058
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: I said, Josh, you're not just sitting there saying please

1059
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: take lineman and wide receivers and tight ends with every pick,

1060
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: they kind of laughed. So, Steve, you've been through it

1061
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: before when the draft comes to be like this is

1062
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: my this could be in the locker next to me

1063
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: right now that I'm watching. Yeah, it's an interesting perspective

1064
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: the answer that he gave, because you never really think

1065
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: about the players who are already on this team, who

1066
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: are watching these guys get drafted or come in and wondering,

1067
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: all right, is this first round pick and to make

1068
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: an immediate impact, because that's what the Buffalo Bills need

1069
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: right now. They're their window to win and they're they're

1070
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: right in their wheelhouse right now. It's it's this year,

1071
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: it's next year. You got you gotta get far, and

1072
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: you gotta get back to the AFC Championship game. Because

1073
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: they're capable of doing it. They need a little bit

1074
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: more help here and there, and there were a few holes,

1075
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: but those things can be filled up and mended, and

1076
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: I believe they're going to come back stronger this next season.

1077
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: And you could hear that in Josh's answer when you

1078
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: asked him about the AFC Championship loss, and he said,

1079
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,479
Speaker 1: I still carry that with me every day. It's something

1080
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: that I think about, and you could you heard it

1081
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: when we lost to the Texans. But it's like this

1082
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: is a step deeper and a step higher, and the

1083
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: cut is a little bit deeper in that these guys

1084
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: are still walking with this loss, but hopefully in turn

1085
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 1: it turns into something that can be used for good

1086
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: once we hit the field in training camp. I mean,

1087
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: what were your thoughts on how he kind of walked

1088
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: through how that's still very much a part of his

1089
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: life today. Candid, completely candid, And you know we all

1090
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,479
Speaker 1: remember the shout of Stefan standing there on the field

1091
00:58:55,560 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: watching the Chiefs celebrate. Is someone in Josh's position could

1092
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: easily say, you know, I've turned the page on that.

1093
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: Now down the next season and I'm focused here. You

1094
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: said it, I said, how much does that stay with you?

1095
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: You guys lost pretty handily, it was not close. You

1096
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: lost it dramatically, And he said, I think about every day,

1097
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: every day. I don't shake it. And I respected that

1098
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: because who wouldn't think about it every day. It was

1099
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: only a couple of months ago. And also, like to

1100
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: that note of not pulling punches cards on the table,

1101
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: I said to him, I said, like, the Chiefs are

1102
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: a problem. They're going to be a problem for a

1103
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: long time. And the AFC title game is the Arrowhead Invitational.

1104
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: They've now played three straight title games. If you guys

1105
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: get back there next year, I gotta tell you they're

1106
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: gonna be there. So do you look at Kansas City

1107
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: as this big bad wolf that you know you have

1108
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: to take care of them or you're gonna spend your

1109
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: career being Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing and Gary Peyton

1110
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: who couldn't be Jordan And again to Josh's credit, there's

1111
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: no cliche that Kickstan about well you know all the

1112
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: teams are good, or you know it's a tough league

1113
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: every year, you never know. It was like, you know,

1114
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: he understoods He understands fully that the Chiefs are a problem,

1115
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: and they're a problem that's not going away, and you

1116
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: gotta take them out. And I got fired up even

1117
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: having the conversation with them. I can't imagine being a

1118
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: fan listening to it or a teammate. So it's like

1119
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: it's the podcast is on ten Questions with Kyle Brandt.

1120
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: It's also dropping in video too, Is it today that

1121
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: we can see the videos already? Yeah, you can get

1122
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: it on YouTube now, or you can get it on

1123
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Spotify now, anywhere anywhere you can click. It's right there.

1124
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: It's all of our social media and your guys as well. Yeah,

1125
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very recommended to everybody. I watch part

1126
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: portions of it, and I also wanted to catch the questions,

1127
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,479
Speaker 1: and I know Josh did pretty well on his question

1128
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: to let the fans just let tune in and get

1129
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: get what he did. But we've been sitting here and

1130
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the NFL is unbelievable. We sit here, we have a

1131
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: three hour radio show about one of the teams, and

1132
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: we can talk about right, we talk about we talk

1133
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: about the whole league. But you're the same way. I mean,

1134
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: come on, you, you and Nate and Kay and Pete,

1135
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: you guys talk about it every day just like we do.

1136
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: The draft is coming down, the shoot at us. We

1137
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: never stopped talking about it. People can't get enough of it.

1138
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: For us. The Bills have had a surprising offseason in

1139
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: that that they didn't change that much. We didn't lose

1140
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,479
Speaker 1: any guys to free and we got guys signing deals

1141
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: here because they don't want to leave. We got guys

1142
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: signing deals here because they can't wait to play for

1143
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: this guys. It's a different environment here in Buffalo, and

1144
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: they seem to be set up here for the time

1145
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: being to be pretty good going forward. Yeah. I think

1146
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: they call that a first world problem, Steve, is that

1147
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: you have so many good players you don't know who

1148
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: to draft, but where do we go? There's too many

1149
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: returning starters on this team. I think the draft for

1150
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: this year for Buffalo, you know, and Josh and I

1151
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: talked about this as well as you mentioned like he

1152
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: seemed to think defense. We'll see. I'm sure they'll make

1153
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: a solid pick and maybe they'll leave him trade it back.

1154
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: But I think this year, this draft for the Bills

1155
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: fans is sitting there and buckling up and seeing a

1156
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: what the Jets do all the way up there, which

1157
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: they've kind of show their hand now. But more importantly,

1158
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: those guys in New England, I don't know, they're in

1159
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: one of those middle round picks, and then they're fifteen.

1160
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: It's the highest I believe that they've been in over

1161
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: a decade, and they may even go higher. If I'm

1162
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: a Bills fan, I'm sitting there and saying, we got

1163
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: a great team right now. Maybe we'll make it better tonight.

1164
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: But more importantly, are the Pats gonna do something nuts?

1165
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Are they gonna go get one of these quarterbacks? Or

1166
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: are they honestly gonna go into this season with Cam

1167
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: Newton as their starting guy? You see new England there

1168
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: at fifteen. They're never at fifteen. They may built. Belichick

1169
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: may never be at fifteen again in his life. So

1170
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: if he was ever going to do something like, oh

1171
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: screw it, move up to five, or to move anywhere,

1172
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: this seems like a year he would do it. I

1173
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: just had this feeling that the one thing the Patriots

1174
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: are not going to do in the draft is nothing.

1175
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: There's going to be some sort of move and not

1176
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: to mention the Jets all the way up at the

1177
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: top like that too. So a lot of this draft

1178
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: affects the Bills fans. I wonder after Night one how

1179
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: everyone in the mafia will feel the team feels great,

1180
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: But about the AFC's Yeah, the Jets, the Dolphins, Patriots

1181
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: are up there that the Bills are not this year.

1182
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: And I make the mistake all the time of like

1183
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: jumping to conclusions. So the Dolphins pick whoever, the Patriots

1184
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: move up and maybe pick a quarterback. I'm like, oh no,

1185
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really hard year in the AFC East.

1186
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: And of course those draft picks have to like prove

1187
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: themselves on the field. But I like instantly think these

1188
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: guys are going to be household names. But what comes

1189
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: along with that pass the draft and looking forward to

1190
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill season and Josh Allen you brought this

1191
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,919
Speaker 1: conversation up with Josh too, is the contract extension talk,

1192
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: which is a very hot topic for Bill's mafia for

1193
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: the fans. We did a podcast with Brandon Bean last

1194
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: week and asked him about that topic, and it's kind

1195
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: of like a of course, you're not going to show

1196
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: your cards or anything. It's like, we'll wait and see

1197
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: when that happens. What type of feeling did you get

1198
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: from Josh when you asked him the question about, you know,

1199
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: is it going to be this year next year? Do

1200
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: you have any opinions on it, well, how would I

1201
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: describe the feeling? He kind of knows the question is coming.

1202
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: But the whole point was there wasn't a question I

1203
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: was gonna ask him five. I'm like, Josh, we're gonna

1204
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: keep talking about this because when I think when I

1205
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: first brought it up, I think he went to the

1206
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: bumper sticker line, which he said, when it happens, it happens.

1207
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I said, okay, but let's talk about when it's gonna

1208
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: happen and how it's gonna happen. I just got pushing him.

1209
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: It was the one time he was probably annoyed with me,

1210
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: but that's okay, And listen, he's obviously really well respected

1211
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: and we know what's coming. But you know, Brendan being said,

1212
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: you guys know, maybe it's next year, maybe it's this year. Okay,

1213
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Well that's a massive difference. I mean, a really big

1214
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: difference one whole season. A lot could happen in that time.

1215
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: And I think the funniest part was as, all right, Josh,

1216
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: well maybe it happens here, maybe it happens here, how

1217
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: do you feel about the term franchise tag? And he

1218
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: literally said you right on the air, which cracked me up.

1219
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: But listen, we've seen guys. We've seen them all the time. Now,

1220
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: it's a thing that happens where you can't figure this

1221
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: thing out with the quarterback. It's too much money, too

1222
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: much time, and you have to go to that break

1223
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: glass in cases of emergency. I don't think it'll happen

1224
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: with Josh. It usually doesn't happen with Buffalo. But based

1225
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: on his reaction, it spoke volumes about they will not

1226
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: be allowing that to happen to him, right, And they've

1227
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: still got two years to do it. And I asked

1228
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Maddie just a minute ago, when do you start to

1229
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: panic as a Bills fan that it's gonna get nasty

1230
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: or bad or go crazy that they haven't signed him?

1231
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: When do you when do you panic? And I'm yeah,

1232
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm literally three years away from that. I mean, I'm

1233
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: like a franchise tag away from They'll play out his contract,

1234
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: they'll franchise him after that. I'm way away from that.

1235
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: And I think it'll probably happen not after this year,

1236
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: but well maybe in the middle of next offseason when

1237
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: they get an idea of what the twenty twenty three

1238
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: cap is gonna look like with the new TV deal

1239
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: and all that. That seems to me the time when

1240
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: they'll do it, because then they can structure it and

1241
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: and you know, know what they're dealing with down the road. Yeah,

1242
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: there's that idea that maybe there's gonna be more money

1243
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: a year from now, and it could be a higher contract.

1244
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: And yet, I mean, it's a little tricky because Josh's

1245
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: stock is really high. He's coming off an MVP candidacy,

1246
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: a title game. Like, there's part of you might say,

1247
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: let's do it now. I don't want to risk another season.

1248
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen in the next season.

1249
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: My stock's rarely gonna get much higher than it is

1250
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: right now. Let's take care of this thing. That's the

1251
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: great mystery of the win. And I don't want to

1252
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:33,959
Speaker 1: put words in his mouth, but I think on maybe

1253
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: question sixteen of twenty that I asked him about this,

1254
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: he said, of course, you know, something into the effect

1255
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: of it'd rather be happened sooner than later. It's a

1256
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: great mystery. Being has been on fire, Josh has been

1257
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: on fire. I know they're gonna get it done. I

1258
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: don't think they would ever allow this to turn into

1259
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: a mess. But there is a gamble of waiting another year.

1260
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: And look, look, Lamar does Lamar Jackson doesn't have the

1261
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: big contract. We saw what happened with Dak Prescott. The

1262
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes thing is massive and plays into this thing, and

1263
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: that's the kind of stuff we're talking about. So there

1264
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: are elements. My vibe from Josh would being you can

1265
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: judge this for yourself if you listen or you watch,

1266
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: no fear. There doesn't seem to be any concern. It's

1267
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: a one way or another. And I didn't sense any

1268
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: nervousness or tension about the biggest payday of his life.

1269
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: I think he's very content with how it's going. Well, yeah,

1270
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: his stock is really high. Now he's taken a step forward.

1271
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: How high this stock? Kid? If he takes another step

1272
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: forward and the Bills do beat the Chiefs, they do

1273
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl, you do win, then how

1274
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: high is his stock? Because not only is he you know,

1275
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: say he's an MVP, say he's a super Bowl winner,

1276
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff, and he's still getting

1277
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: better and he can point to the day I say, listen,

1278
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I still haven't reached my roof. Well, then that's that.

1279
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: Then you're in my home's territory. My home's won the

1280
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: MVP and the Super Bowl and then signed a half

1281
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: a billion dollar deal. And that's listen. And if it happens,

1282
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: if they win the Super Bowl next year and he

1283
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: hasn't signed his deal yet, then that's the comp. Then

1284
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I want what Pad has And maybe he'll say that,

1285
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: maybe won't. I can't speak for him. Maybe that's what

1286
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: i'd say. But if your stock gets hired, Steve, then

1287
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna be in some of these baseball guys like

1288
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Tatis and all these guys who were sending eighteen million

1289
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: dollars eighteen year Bobby Bonilla type stuff. It can't get

1290
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: much higher. And yet if they win the Super Bowl

1291
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: at will Right. We had Kim Pogula on the podcast too,

1292
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: and we asked her about this as well. You know,

1293
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: you resigned Josh Allen, you you do a contract extension

1294
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: for him, You did one for Tradevious, why you did

1295
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 1: one for Dion Dawkins. You're starting to get in the territory,

1296
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: which is a good thing of You're paying these players

1297
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money to stay here, and rightfully so,

1298
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,799
Speaker 1: because they've earned their keep and you're not just shipping

1299
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: people off and bringing new people in and trying to

1300
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: find that that healthy medium where you've got the guys

1301
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: that you want and you're winning games. And it's like,

1302
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Josh is going to be an expensive paycheck? Are you

1303
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 1: worried about that? She's like, no, I want to sign

1304
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: those big checks. Like that means we have it going

1305
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: on here and things are good. Here's when when we

1306
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 1: do get to sign those those those big deals and

1307
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: those contract extensions. So I'm excited for the future of him.

1308
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: When we go back to the podcast though, and ten

1309
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Questions with Kyle Brandt and the types of guests that

1310
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:17,520
Speaker 1: you've had on and also just how it's like formulated.

1311
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: I think it's so cool that you're asking these guys

1312
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: questions and it's a competition. I mean, what's what's next

1313
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: for you? Aaron Rodgers just hosted Jeopardy? Is that going

1314
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: to be your thing next? Here? Well, let's see if

1315
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets the gig he doesn't, I'll be happy

1316
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: to come right in. I have no problem with that.

1317
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: Somebody needs to draft to Jordan Love in that situation,

1318
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: I guess I guess I guess that would be me.

1319
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: But no, I have great respect for Jeopardy. I've lost

1320
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: my entire life. Of course, that would like a shot

1321
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: at that. Absolutely, because Maddie, and thank you for mentioning it.

1322
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: For those who have never heard the show, it's not

1323
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: just a conversation. There's a game that we play and

1324
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: everybody gets a final score. And I will not spoil

1325
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: it on the air right now if you haven't heard

1326
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: or listen yet, But Josh's score was astonishing, and I

1327
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: won't say if it was good or bad. Listen, we

1328
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: got it. You got points out of ten, you got

1329
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: zero all the way to ten. Alex Smith, the quarterback

1330
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: was the high water market before this it was a

1331
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 1: nine out of ten. We've had threes, fours, fives. Rogers

1332
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: got a six. I think five got a six, Kirk

1333
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Cousins got a five. Josh's score was one to remember.

1334
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:21,560
Speaker 1: It won't say if it was good or bad, but

1335
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: he was competitive as hell. Yeah then, and that's one

1336
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: of the things about you. It's it's a great podcast.

1337
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: It's it is it's a competition. I'm not particularly when

1338
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: you get athletes on there. Everything is a competition. If

1339
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna act, if you're gonna attach a score to it,

1340
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna bear down. You've got a resume

1341
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: and it's now you're in a podcast, you're in Good

1342
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Morning Football. You played college football, but you were Your

1343
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: resume is you've you've touted it, you kind of put

1344
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: it out there. You're's the strangest resume out there, and

1345
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: give us, give us an idea why you know why

1346
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: so many different things that you've done that makes you

1347
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: resume so wild? And and how did that lead to

1348
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: the job at Good Morning Football? Not great at any

1349
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: of them, Steve, that's the way that happens. You have

1350
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: to keep changing. My resume is stranger than yours. That's

1351
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: my motto. Not better than yours, not worse than yours,

1352
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: but definitely a stranger. And when you put that opinion

1353
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: out sometimes people will walk up to you on the

1354
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: street and be like, dude, I got it for you.

1355
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 1: Step aside brand, I can beat your resume, and they

1356
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: rattle off these crazy, eclectic jobs they've had. I get

1357
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: it on Twitter all the time. But yeah, from college

1358
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: football to the Real World on MTV to Days of

1359
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: Our Lives to nine years with Jim Rome, to the

1360
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: NFL to now, oh the lights went out, Their lights

1361
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: finally went out. That was a bad omen. Oh it's back.

1362
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: I was a message from God. Is he like wrap

1363
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: it up at the Oscars? All right? They're back for

1364
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: anybody listening to lights went out. Yeah, I'm trying to

1365
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: answer the question best I can, Steve, and I think

1366
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:00,560
Speaker 1: it would just be um. Sometimes I max out on

1367
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: things and I get bored of them, and at other

1368
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: times you're not welcome anymore. Sometimes you get told to

1369
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: turn in your playbook, and sometimes you have to just

1370
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: do it on your own. I don't know what's going

1371
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: to be next, but I really really like the show

1372
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: that I'm doing now. Ten questions as well as Jim,

1373
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite guest that you've had on

1374
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure I would hope Josh Allen is up there,

1375
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: But do you have some favorites and do you have

1376
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: someone that you really want to get on that's been

1377
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: a hard person to get on the podcast? Well, to

1378
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: that point the first question, I've had many favorites I

1379
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: really really liked. Well, I like to Budge Rogers was

1380
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: the first guest, and he's amazing. He's probably the best

1381
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: interview in all of sports. Unbelievable guy. Guy Fieri was incredible,

1382
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Vigo Mortenson from Lord of the Rings was incredible. Gronk

1383
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: and Camille Costek together he and his girlfriend were fantastic.

1384
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: But to the point of someone you want to get on,

1385
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: never mind who I want to get on. At the

1386
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: end of every episode we asked the contestant call somebody

1387
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: out right now, look into the camera and say, come

1388
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 1: in here on this show and beat my score. So

1389
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: everybody does it, and sometimes, you know, we had Keegan

1390
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Michael Key and he called out stray hand, who's coming on?

1391
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 1: And they try to respond and answer, well, Josh. He

1392
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: was on for an hour and I would say about

1393
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: every six minutes in that hour, which means ten times

1394
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: he was bringing up Will Ferrell. It just kept coming

1395
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: up Will Farrell. That is his guy, that is his

1396
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: movie idol, that is his dude. So I said, Josh,

1397
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: I think you have to do it right now. So

1398
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 1: he looks at the camera and says, will please come

1399
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: on ten questions, try to beat my score. If you do,

1400
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: we will work out some sort of arrangement, some sort

1401
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: of bet where I will reward you with some sort

1402
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,560
Speaker 1: of experience or something. So we are now effort in

1403
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell on behalf of the Bills franchise quarterback and

1404
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: to bring this thing full circle, I may have to

1405
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: enlist the Bill's Mafia yet again, do Josh's bidding and

1406
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,560
Speaker 1: get Ron Burgundy on ten questions, we may have to

1407
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: release the house. So who was the most surprising guest

1408
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: you've had on? The guy that you thought besides joh

1409
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, he tried to get him, he couldn't get

1410
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 1: Who's a guest you had on? Was like, I can't

1411
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: believe we got that guy or that girl? Um, great

1412
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: question we had. Um, let me think about who's Who's

1413
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: the most unbelievable one. We've had a ton of them.

1414
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned Keegan Michael Key, who is you know from

1415
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Key and Peel them? Ends One celebrations and the East

1416
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: West All Star Game was unbelievable. He was really great. Um.

1417
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Andrews came on and recreated her interview with Richard

1418
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: Sherman about did you ever come up beach? She was fantastic. Um.

1419
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: We've had some really really weird ones too, you know,

1420
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: just like okay, So for example, Tim Robbins came on

1421
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: The Great Actor and I didn't know if Tim Robbins

1422
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: would be into this you know, the format is a

1423
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,640
Speaker 1: little different. You gotta you get a score. It's competitive,

1424
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: there's sound effects, there's you know, weird me doing my thing.

1425
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Tim Robbins came on. We talked Shaw Shank all day long.

1426
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: We we told he told stories about how at night

1427
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: during the Shaw Shank shoot he would go to at

1428
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman's house that he was renting, the two of

1429
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 1: them with barbecue and play basketball together. They were Shushank

1430
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: redemption pickup basketball games going on against each other. All

1431
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 1: kinds of amazing stories like that. I didn't know he'd

1432
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 1: be into it, Tim Robbins. By the end of it,

1433
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: Steve was like arguing about the questions that they were

1434
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: too hard, and I listened to the last episode and

1435
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 1: his was too easy to be, like, unbelievably competitive, So

1436
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: that would be my answer. I just thought he'd be

1437
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 1: a cool actor, a very established Academy Award winner. No,

1438
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: he was out for blood. He was crawling through that

1439
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: tunnel of you know what, to escape like he wanted

1440
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: a bat. That's awesome. That's so amazing, Kyle, Thanks so

1441
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: much for taking the time to chat with us. After

1442
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: the release of The Ten Questions with podcast, Josh Allen

1443
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: was on, great interview, Great job. I'm sure you love

1444
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: getting to hear all these people stories and doing the research,

1445
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: because that's like the most fun part about being in

1446
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,560
Speaker 1: this industry is getting to talk to people and to

1447
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 1: hear you know how you got into whatever you're doing.

Speaker 1: you here again soon, hopefully anytime. A huge part of

1451
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,560
Speaker 1: the reason that Bill's fans are familiar with me is

1452
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: my appearances on this show. I don't think Josh Allen

1453
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: is coming on and send questions unless Bills fans know

1454
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 1: me from this show. So thank you for having me.

1455
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: I always feel like I have a home here and

1464
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: answering those ten questions, but Kyle Brant did say it

1465
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: was astonishing, and it truly was. It's a great listen.

1466

Speaker 1: Josh Allen is in his comfortable mojo in this podcast.

Speaker 1: He's moving, he's grooving, he's talking about Will Farrell, he's

1468
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: talking about the office, he's talking about Cantelopes. I mean,

1469
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,679
Speaker 1: everything that this guy knows and loves, and I really

1470
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,240

1483
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: hour of his time. It's fun, it's great conversations. You

1484
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 1: might say, it moves along quickly, the ten questions plus

1485
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 1: as a team, Yeah, it is. It's a competition that

1486
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: the questions are different for every contestant, and they're tailored

1487
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: toward the contestants persona and their past, their you know,

1488
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: their current, you know situation wherever they are as well.

1489
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Great conversation. It goes far reaching, it goes everywhere, all

1490
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 1: over the map with the conversations he has with his

1491
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: guests and Josh Allen's today was no different. It was

1492
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a lot of fun. One thing

1493
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: that I pulled from it was he was asked, of

1494
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: course about cantalopes and his family being farmers, and um

1495
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: was asked about how much he loves the fruit cantalope,

1496
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: and he said that have you ever tried, you know,

1497
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: a fresh cantalope off of the tree, and you cut

1498
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: a huge tree, fine tree. I don't know how cantalopes grow,

1499
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: seen my expertise in farming. Here, tree, vine shrub, it

1500
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: grows somehow. So he said, you know, my dad takes

1501
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: it off the vine tree, the vine and and he

1502
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: said he would put like a scoopa ice cream in it,

1503
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: but not cream, you know, and you scoop that middle

1504
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 1: round piece out. So what I'm thinking, here's where here's

1505
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: where my mind goes. Stadium's opening back up this year.

1506
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, we should have we should have some cantaloupe

1507
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: with ice cream in the middle, and it can come

1508
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: from the Allen Farm. How great of an idea is

1509
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: that I would love? I know it gets cold for

1510
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: half the season, but at least for the first half

1511
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: of the season for home games. Who wouldn't love some

1512
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 1: cantaloupe and some vanilla ice cream if you're a cantaloupe fan, right, Yeah, Yeah,

1513
01:19:54,840 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: that's sounds good. Gene is coming out. Ye, that's when

1514
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: I do best. But good conversation that we had there

1515
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: with Kyle, he's always fun to have on the show.

1516
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: Is in Touch with Bills Mafia. Was around all all

1517
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: season on the show talking about the Bills and what

1518
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: they have done and Josh Allen, so it's always good

1519
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: to have him on, get his expertise m and his

1520
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: take on the organization on Josh so a fun time.

1521
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: But let's dip back into the tweet sheet. Do you

1522
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: think we should do that. So our question is what's

1523
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: the boldest move the Bills could still make this off season?

1524
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: And we had several options that you could choose from

1525
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: trade up in the draft for a top prospect, to

1526
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 1: sign a big name free agent, swing a trade for

1527
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: position of need or other. So let's get back into

1528
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,759
Speaker 1: our tweet sheet, which is brought to you by Corgan

1529
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

1530
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: And we've gotten through two of these, we'll get to

1531
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: number three from Rusty. Rusty says the boldest move would

1532
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: be to make a huge trade up at the draft

1533
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: to get to the top ten for a tight end Pits.

1534
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: That's a tight end from Florida, a true game changer.

1535
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening, but pulling a Dikka and

1536
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: sending all their picks to Cincy to get five would

1537
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: give the NFL something to talk about. Even going up

1538
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: five ish picks would be cool too. I don't think

1539
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: there's any way that the Buffalo Bills will move up

1540
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: to the top ten. Non think that, but it would

1541
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: take so much if you go down. Yeah, I mean,

1542
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. But here's the thing

1543
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:47,560
Speaker 1: it would take. If you're gonna do it with just

1544
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: draft picks, it would take too much. It would take

1545
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 1: almost the entire draft class that you've got right now,

1546
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: and probably that wouldn't do it. You would have to

1547
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: go to the top of this draft class and a

1548
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: mid round pick at the top of the next draft

1549
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:08,560
Speaker 1: class next year. So it's not gonna happen. I'm not

1550
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 1: gonna happen, just not enough. But then Russy said even

1551
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: going up five ish picks would be cool too. So

1552
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: if you're saying that, yeah, you get that it would

1553
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: probably be hard to get into top ten, but even

1554
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: moving up five depending on who's available, I am all form.

1555
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think that's more likely moving up

1556
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: five ish picks, and that could happen, and I could

1557
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:36,719
Speaker 1: see it happening. I don't know who they would covet

1558
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: to move up five picks. There's probably a number of guys,

1559
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: because you know thirty. I mean, if you can go

1560
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: in any one of the top ten guys or the

1561
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: guys that they deem or top ten picks that they

1562
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: drop into the twenty twenty five, that would entice a

1563
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: team to jump up five spots to make sure they

1564
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 1: get one of the top ten pick of their evaluation

1565
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 1: at twenty five, but I don't know how many. I

1566
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 1: don't know if that would happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if

1567
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: you have an opinion on the question, you can give

1568
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: us a call. Eight oh three, five fifty as to

1569
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,640
Speaker 1: what the boldest move the Bills could still make this offseason,

1570
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: what that would be. Jeremy says, having the number thirty

1571
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: pick is just like having the number forty pick. I

1572
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind seeing the team trade away some picks to

1573
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: move up, just not sure we would have any buyers

1574
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: due to our position. Yeah, it's kind of right there

1575
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: with what the previous question said in trading up, but

1576
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: wondering if there'd be any buyers there if we were

1577
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: to trade up. I mean, we've got a first round,

1578
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: a second round, a third round, no fourth round, two fifths,

1579
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: a sixth, and a seventh, so you've got some room

1580
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: there to put some things together if you do want

1581
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: to move up in the draft for set play that

1582
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 1: is worth Yeah, it's going to be waiting for it,

1583
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,799
Speaker 1: and it could be too the guys they've got signed.

1584
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: It could be as easy as signing a guy that's

1585
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: on a one year deal like this Forrest Lamp, who's

1586
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: a starting guard in the NFL right now, and I've

1587
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 1: other guys are saying it. Since the Bills have signed

1588
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 1: these two last offensive linement, particularly forced Lamp to a

1589
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: one year deal, forced Lamp a full time starter for

1590
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 1: the LA Chargers last year, the Bills now have a

1591
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: bunch of offensive linemen that are that are really competitive

1592
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: and with has some really good experience up and down

1593
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 1: the roster. Not only the five guys that we expect,

1594
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 1: or you expect, or Bills fans expect to start for

1595
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: the Bills. The guys behind them have some real experience

1596
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: and some real credibility to their career so far. This

1597
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: forced Lamps. He's fifth year guy and comes over after

1598
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: having a full year as a starter for the LA Chargers.

1599
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: So other teams might say, listen, can you We'll give

1600
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: you five spots in the draft this year, because if

1601
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 1: we do that, we can take If you give us

1602
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 1: those two offensive line and even though they're on one

1603
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: year deals, give us those two offensive linemen we'll give you.

1604
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 1: We'll flip over with you at thirty and give you

1605
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: our pick at twenty five, knowing at thirty we're still

1606
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: going to be able to take another a starting offensive

1607
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: line or some other need that's kind of what you're

1608
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: looking at, or maybe you know or maybe the Bills

1609
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: moved back for the same thing. They take somebody from

1610
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: another roster in order for them to move up. So

1611
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: maybe a player that they've got a lot of depth at.

1612
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a tight end surplus at a team, or

1613
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: a guy, a prospect or something like that. The Bills

1614
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: could trade the thirty pick for one of those guys

1615
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: plus a mid round draft pick later in a later

1616
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: year and make that move and go down. All these

1617
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: scenarios are on the table. And that's what I said

1618
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the show as well, Maddie. I know this,

1619
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, Sean McDermott. They will consider any reasonable offer

1620
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: if they feel like you can make their team better. Yeah,

1621
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: they'll do the right thing. We trust him being that's

1622
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: why he's earned all these nicknames like big Baller Bean.

1623
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: John Feliciano called him the Wizard Wizard Beans. So yeah,

1624
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: believe in in what he can do in his scouting

1625
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: department can do and how they've evaluated all of these

1626
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: prospects that are going to be coming into the NFL.

1627
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: This year, but several different options as to what you

1628
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: could do, stay, move up, move down. We could debate

1629
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: at all. We could debate it for three hours as

1630
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: so what's the best thing that this Buffalo Bills team

1631
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: could do. But we're going to take a break. When

1632
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: we come back on the horizon, we've got Rob rang,

1633
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports NFL draft analysts on with us at

1634
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: two o'clock and we'll get into more draft talk with him.

1635
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: So don't go anywhere of this One Bill's Live presented

1636
01:26:51,920 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 1: by Clada Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back into

1637
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:13,440
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, almost two o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon.

1638
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 1: We can't see what the outside looks like, but I

1639
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 1: hope the sun is shining. I hope it feels extra

1640
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: warm outside today, because the temperature this week just looked amazing. Oh,

1641
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: we're seeing a shot of High Marks Stadium looking pretty good,

1642
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: the fields looking Dialo slice, I mean, we we a

1643
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: we need to put a driving range behind us so

1644
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,879
Speaker 1: we can just get some swings in during the commercial

1645
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: break and can help me with my form tasker because

1646
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's terrible, but I'm excited to get outside today.

1647
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: Beautiful day to play golf. We were talking about Forest Lamp,

1648
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: the newest offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills, who agreed

1649
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 1: to terms on a one year deal with a Bill today,

1650
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: and he has an interesting endorsement. He is endorsed by

1651
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: a lamp company and has his own Sequoia tree lamp.

1652
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: It's the forest lamp we should have. I don't know,

1653
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: two twenty nine dollars if if you guys want a

1654
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 1: lamp or need a lamp. He's six four, so it's

1655
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: gotta be like, what is that? It's like a five

1656
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 1: foot lamp. Probably it's gotta be. It's gotta be a

1657
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: five foot lamp. It's floor lamp stands up and it's

1658
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: like a tree root that comes down and it's gotta

1659
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: like a woven basket as a lamp. It's pretty cool lamp.

1660
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 1: I have no question. But it brings up the question, Maddie. Yeah,

1661
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: so Forest Lamp has a lamp company to endorsement. I

1662
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 1: suppose he gets free lamps. Yeah. So if there was

1663
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: a company or product that you would like to endorse,

1664
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: just strictly as because it's like in your wheelhouse, what

1665
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 1: would it be? What would you endorse? So I think

1666
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: about this, and like, okay, what can I get the

1667
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: most out of If I was going to be endorsed

1668
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 1: by something sponsored by someone is okay? If I was

1669
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: going to do this, what would give me the best value?

1670
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:11,720
Speaker 1: And I think about things that I use every day,

1671
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: So like gas would be nice. I mean, of course,

1672
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: car dealerships are great because we drive around cars every day,

1673
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 1: but like gas would be nice. Um, a grocery store

1674
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: would be nice. Food clothing, um, getting free clothing. But

1675
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 1: then my right, my travel brain goes to I want

1676
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,760
Speaker 1: free flights. I want an airline company. I want like

1677
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: resort company so I can just head everywhere and not

1678
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 1: have to pay a lot of money. Yeah, it could

1679
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 1: be like an all inclusive cruise linery right where once

1680
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:52,599
Speaker 1: you get onto where? What about you? Nations flight thing

1681
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: is good? That's cool, so you can travel wherever you

1682
01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 1: want to go. But you know, you know, I don't know.

1683
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:02,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty nice. Uh. It's interesting too because being a

1684
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:06,560
Speaker 1: retired NFL player, I get discounts on there's certain partnerships

1685
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: that stuff like Mattress is kind of Mattress a shoe

1686
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: company we have, not the shoe company might think of,

1687
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: but it's awesome um, so, I mean that's I think

1688
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: it might be. Yeah, the grocery store so free. I

1689
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 1: don't know if you get free food though, but maybe

1690
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 1: you would. A beer company. It's National Beer Day, um today,

1691
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 1: a beer company, beer wine. Like Connor McGregor, I could

1692
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: do Irish whiskey, cigar. I'm like a cigar guy. I

1693
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: could do cigars. I'm kind of you know, I'm just

1694
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 1: going around. I don't know. Um, there are some clothing

1695
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: lines that would be kind of cool. Oh yeah, right,

1696
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean if you yeah, yeah, you always be looking

Speaker 1: looking fresh, looking clean. That the word now fresh? Yeah. Man,

1698
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I do that car thing, right,

1699
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: which is pretty nice perk you get a nice car. Nice. Yeah,

1702
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:19,120

1703
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of it. I would say this furniture would

1704
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: be cool, right, yeah, furniture. Think about what's expensive that

1705
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 1: we hate to buy. Theater system, Yeah, another good thing.

1706
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: So we put this out on social media too, and

1707
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: some people have commented on it. And someone is thinking

1708
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: the same as you because they said, heck with the planes,

1709
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,439
Speaker 1: I take the free flights at any of the local

1710
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:49,719

01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 1: Matt Milano and put his face on the Milano cookies

1714
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 1: that you can get cookies. A lot of people, a

1715
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of people thought in the food realm, so ice cream,

1716
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 1: favorite things that you eat, favorite places that you go

1717
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: to eat, places that you go to frequently to eat

1718
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: or to get someone or get something. Yeah, that's food

1719
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 1: and sustenance and food and shelter still number one, right

1720
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: for people. Then when you get into the you know,

1723
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 1: for instance, if your life wasn't gonna change, like if

1724
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: you weren't going to travel, if you're just gonna go,

01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 1: or what a shorter commute like a different town. It's

1729
01:32:54,960 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: still food and shelter, right, closer to get in new

1730
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:06,240

1733
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: like that game you play when you say if you

1734
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: had to superpower, what would it be? Very business. I

1740
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 1: I think is super cool. Um, I gotta say I

1741
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:44,160

1742
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: having your own lamps is pretty cool, but being a

1743
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 1: part of the Jordan Brand family and having a Buffalo

1744
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 1: bill that's a part of the Jordan Brand family. That

1745
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:57,560
Speaker 1: goes far. When I played, I had a contract with

1746
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 1: a shoe company and they you'd get they just give

1747
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: send you the catalog and say you have this many

1748
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to spend, right, So you go amazing,

1749
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, you're that's pretty fun. That's pretty fun. I

1750
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 1: also had also got a shopping spree in a camping

1751
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 1: store one time, where you know the outdoor store, tents,

1752
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 1: sleeping bags, camp stoves, all that stuff that that may

1753
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: have been the most fun shopping spree I've ever been on,

1754
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 1: because that's stuff that you know, you don't really buy

1755
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 1: a lot of, you know, the camping you only get

1756
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 1: if you really needed or as a gift or whatever.

1757
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 1: But I went in and I had this shopping spree,

1758
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 1: and the kids and the wife and we were all

1759
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 1: over there together, and oh my god, that might have

1760
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 1: been the most fun thing I ever did as a

1761
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,760
Speaker 1: pro football player. That might have been the number one

1762
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: perk I ever got going on a shopping spree in

1763
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 1: an outdoor camping store. It doesn't take much to please Steve.

1764
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 1: I was just give them a four. It was pretty

1765
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:00,720
Speaker 1: big spend at a camping store. It was a lot

1766
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 1: of store that that might be it for me, an

1767
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 1: outdoor store like you know, Bass Pro Shop, Cabella's one

1768
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 1: of those, you know outdoor shops. Not awesome, that would

1769
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:16,720
Speaker 1: be cool. Drapes around in there with a big old

1770
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: lineup credit that never comes due. It's pretty nice. If

1771
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: you like doing an outdoor stuff, that might be it

1772
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,679

1773
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:30,160
Speaker 1: got a lamp. Stefan Diggs has Jordan brand I would

1774
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: probably go airlines or free gas, free cars, all of that.

1775
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:36,840
Speaker 1: But we're gonna take a break. When we come back,

Speaker 1: a dual role fighter safe, safe, a blimp. We're not

1784
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 1: even in the spreaded tear of normalcy. Welcome into One

1785
01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Mattie glab here with Steve Tasker, and we've

1786
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 1: been talking a lot about the upcoming NFL Draft. What

1787
01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to do with that number thirtieth

1788
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: overall pick on April twenty ninth, when Draft night kicks off,

1789
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna be late into the night for sure when

1790
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 1: the Bills are on the clock. If they choose to

1791
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:53,680
Speaker 1: stay at number thirty. But we've been talking about move up,

1792
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: move down, stay, all the options that you can have

1793
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:00,800
Speaker 1: with that first round pick and it being later in

1794
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:03,640
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. But to help us with that conversation,

1795
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,719
Speaker 1: we're going to welcome in Rob rang who is Fox

1796
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: Sports's NFL Draft analyst. Rob, thank you so much for

1797
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,240
Speaker 1: being on with us. And as we talk about the

1798
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 1: draft and the Bills being at that number thirty spot,

1799
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 1: what are some of the positions that you think have

1800
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:24,200
Speaker 1: enough depth to still have a worthwhile pick someone who

1801
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,680
Speaker 1: can make an impact on the team right away at

1802
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 1: number thirty in this year's NFL Draft. Well, that's a

1803
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: great way to approach, Jip Mattie. I think that a

1804
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: lot of times, one of the things that football fans

1805
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 1: like to do is they like to look at their

1806
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: own squad and say, Okay, my team needs X, and

1807
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,679
Speaker 1: instead that that's not the way the NFL Draft goes.

1808
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,639
Speaker 1: It is more about what has the positional depth that's

1809
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 1: actually going to be a quality football player when you

1810
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,799
Speaker 1: anticipate being on the clock, And of course the Buffalo

1811
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: Bills seeing their number thirty overall, I think that they're

1812
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: going to be an excellent position to take advantage of

1813
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one draft class is depth at the

1814
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver, at cornerback, and offensive line. Those are three

1815
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: of the strengths of this year's draft class. I think

1816
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,599
Speaker 1: that you can every club in the NFL would love

1817
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 1: to be able to find another dynamic edge rusher, and

1818
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: there's some good ones in this draft class, but they

1819
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: are far and few between, with a lot more potential

1820
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:25,480
Speaker 1: than there is actual production. But again, at the wide receiver, cornerback,

1821
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 1: and offensive line positional groups, I think that the depth

1822
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:30,640
Speaker 1: is so good that you're not only going to be

1823
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: able to find a good player at number thirty overall,

1824
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: you're likely to be able to find a quality player

1825
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:37,960
Speaker 1: in the second and third rounds as well. And so

1826
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:40,640
Speaker 1: those are three the positions that I would argue the

1827
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans really need to be paying attention to.

1828
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 1: Is there any predominance of, for instance, interior offensive lineman

1829
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:50,559
Speaker 1: as opposed to tackles or these guys at this point

1830
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 1: of their career as soon as that they haven't taken

1831
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 1: a snap. Are some of these guys either or will

1832
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 1: see how they fit? Are they just good and big

1833
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,720
Speaker 1: enough and athletic enough to play either spot or there's

1834
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,640
Speaker 1: is there a proponents more of interior offensive lineman as

1835
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: opposed to tackles, It's actually a little bit better on

1836
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 1: the outside, Steve. In my opinion, I see this year's

1837
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle class is one of the absolute best

1838
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: I've seen. And I've been covering the NFL draft now

1839
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: for twenty years and I just see again a number

1840
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,519
Speaker 1: of really talented offensive tackles. And I'll give you an

1841
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: example of that. We all know the Alabama is the

1842
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 1: Rainy National champions. It basically is a pipeline from Nick

1843
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: Saban's backyard, it seems like into the NFL. But like

1844
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,599
Speaker 1: their left tackle Alex Leather where the Jake secs Jacob's

1845
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 1: Blocking Trophy Award winner, I think that he's likely to

1846
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 1: be available in the top of the second round, and

1847
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,280
Speaker 1: so he might be somebody to kind of keep in

1848
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 1: mind for Buffalo. This is a true left tackle, as

1849
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: the length has the agil you're looking for, might be

1850
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 1: able to slide outside to that right tackle position as well.

1851
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: But a three year starter at the left tackle position

1852
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: for Alabama, to me that that is exactly the type

1853
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 1: of positional depth that Maddie was kind of alluding to

1854
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, and so that's one the things

1855
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,280
Speaker 1: that is kind of excited about that because in a

1856
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: normal year, a player like Alex Leatherwood, who is a

1857
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: little bit inconsistent on tape, is still a very young man.

1858
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: He would probably go in the top fifteen of a draft,

1859
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 1: but I think that he's going to be going in

1860
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,800
Speaker 1: in late first round, early second round this year. Another

1861
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,880
Speaker 1: one that we might mention would be Samuel Cosme from

1862
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: the University of Texas, and he's six six, three hundred

1863
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 1: and ten pounds and really athletic, really strong. He has

1864
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more positional versatility some people because he

1865
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 1: has a thirty three inch arms, some people see him

1866
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,799
Speaker 1: as a candidate to move inside to that guard position.

1867
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: So I really like him there. And then if you're

1868
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna be focusing on the interior offensive lineman, there's two

1869
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,799
Speaker 1: guys who have played some offensive tackle at their collegiate

1870
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: level but are likely going to be switched inside to

1871
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:46,679
Speaker 1: guard in the NFL. Reschaun Slater from Northwestern is probably

1872
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: gonna be off the board, but Elijah Vera Tucker from

1873
01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:52,719
Speaker 1: the University of Southern California is a similarly gifted player.

1874
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:54,599
Speaker 1: That's a little bit kind of sleeping in the weeds

1875
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. People aren't paying nearly as much attention

1876
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 1: to him. He is going to go in the first round,

1877
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 1: I believe as well. And then if you're gonna go

1878
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 1: even more inside the center position, and a lot of

1879
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: these centers have the positional versatility to swing outside and

1880
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: play those guard roles as well. I'm a big fan

1881
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 1: of Creed Humphrey from Oklahoma. I'm an even bigger fan

1882
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 1: of Landon Dickerson from Alabama. Unfortunately, Dickerson is one of

1883
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 1: those players who struggled with durability throughout his career. But

1884
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: any one of those five players, all of them might

1885
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:23,599
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense for the Buffalo Bills because

1886
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:28,240
Speaker 1: they have the requisite athletic ability, size, physicality, and with

1887
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: the exception of Dickerson, who in my opinion, is the best,

1888
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 1: most gifted of the five players I just mentioned, all

1889
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,719
Speaker 1: of them also have the durability that is so important

1890
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: for playing at a high level for a long time

1891
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, I think we've seen that Elijah

1892
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,680
Speaker 1: vera Tucker name mocked to the Buffalo Bills. As I'm

1893
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:47,600
Speaker 1: looking at I keep an excel spreadsheet of all the

1894
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 1: mock drafts that we track, and we've tracked almost a

1895
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: hundred at this point, and he was mocked to the

1896
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:58,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills pretty early on in January by Pro Football Focus,

1897
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 1: So he's been a name has popped up for the

1898
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. An offensive line has been in position honestly

1899
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 1: that has been mocked to the Bills almost as much

1900
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: as corner. Corner leads the way right now, especially after

1901
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: the Chips have kind of fallen with free agency, and

1902
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 1: we see Matt Milano is still a part of the

1903
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:18,960
Speaker 1: team in John Feliciano is still a part of the team,

1904
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 1: and Daryl Williams. Corner has now become the favorite, but

1905
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:26,680
Speaker 1: offensive linemen have also been a favorite as well, like

1906
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: second place, I would say mostly offensive tackles. But I

1907
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:34,679
Speaker 1: think Bills fans this year, based on where this team

1908
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:38,679
Speaker 1: is at, they would be okay with not a sexy

1909
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: pick as in an offensive lineman, they would be okay

1910
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 1: with that at number thirty based on you're starting to

1911
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 1: fill the holes for what you need to do to

1912
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: hopefully make a Super Bowl run here. But as you're

1913
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,879
Speaker 1: formulating your mock drafts and as you're doing your research

1914
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,560
Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft. We had a Brandon being on

1915
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 1: one of our podcasts last week and he spoke to

1916
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 1: how it's difficult this year for the GMS and the

1917
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 1: scouts to kind of put a full picture together because

1918
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: of players opting out, because of seasons not being a

1919
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 1: full season, because of injuries, everything surrounding COVID that has

1920
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,600
Speaker 1: kind of gotten in the way of being able to

1921
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: evaluate these guys. Also, with no NFL scouting combine, how

1922
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:21,600
Speaker 1: has that played into the work that you do. Is

1923
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: it harder for you to kind of get a pulse

1924
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 1: on some of these players because of the year that

1925
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 1: we all went through. Well, again, a great question. I

1926
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: think that it's easier in one aspect because we are

1927
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: all being forced to just focusing on the tape on

1928
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 1: who can actually play the game. But at the same time,

1929
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,760
Speaker 1: when you were an NFL team and you are making

1930
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 1: these multimillion decisions, multimillion dollar decisions, excuse me, then, so

1931
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: much of that is based on the medical evaluations, the

1932
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 1: character evaluations that happens at the combine. And as you mentioned,

1933
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: the fact that there was no NFL combine this year,

1934
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,800
Speaker 1: that dramatically changes things. And of course we as we've

1935
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 1: all been dealing with the pandemic for well over a

1936
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:06,799
Speaker 1: year now. There's gonna be a lot of NFL NFL

1937
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: football fans out there who are going to say, well,

1938
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 1: what's the difference between the twenty one NFL Draft and

1939
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 1: last year's twenty twenty draft, Because they saw virtually that

1940
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Brendan Bean was among the general managers who was basically

1941
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:22,560
Speaker 1: forced to select players from his living room, and so

1942
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 1: they may football fans may not realize how different it was.

1943
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,719
Speaker 1: But if you go back a year ago, NFL teams

1944
01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:32,280
Speaker 1: and their scouts were basically allowed to be on campus

1945
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: all throughout the fall, all throughout the winter. We had

1946
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: a complete season. Two years ago in college football, we

1947
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: had the full assortment of the Senior Bowl, the East

1948
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 1: West Shrine Game, the Combine, the most of the Pro days.

1949
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 1: And it was only about this time, late March early

1950
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:51,479
Speaker 1: April that college teams across the country started really shutting

1951
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: down those pro days, so ninety percent of the evaluation

1952
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 1: was already done. That is very opposite, very much different

1953
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: this year, where of course that the NFL scouts were

1954
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 1: in many cases were not allowed to go on to

1955
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: campus anywhere. There were some schools and entire leagues, entire

1956
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 1: divisions of football that completely ended their season that the

1957
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl went on, but the East West Shrine Game,

1958
01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:18,880
Speaker 1: for example, the longest running all star game in uh

1959
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, in college football, that was canceled. The Combine

1960
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 1: was canceled. It just puts that much more pressure on

1961
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,600
Speaker 1: the area scouts to be able to have those relationships

1962
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 1: with college teams, college coaches, the trainers and what have you,

1963
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 1: to be able to make sure that they really know

1964
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:36,720
Speaker 1: who these players are, not just on the field. That's

1965
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 1: the fun part. That's the part where you get to

1966
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,640
Speaker 1: valuate guys based on who can play, but who are

1967
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:45,320
Speaker 1: they as men? And that is so incredible, That is

1968
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:47,879
Speaker 1: so incredibly important, especially when your team like the Buffalo

1969
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: Bills that this is your super Bowl window. You have

1970
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 1: an absolute superstar quarterback and Josh Allen and so you

1971
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 1: were trying to really capitalize on that right now. So

1972
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to make a mistake by drafting a

1973
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:01,799
Speaker 1: player like maybe be one of your AFC East opponents

1974
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 1: in the Miami in the Miami dolfin excuse me, Tennessee

1975
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 1: Titans that selected Isaiah Wilson office tackle a year ago,

1976
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 1: Miami gambled on him a little bit and he wasn't

1977
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,560
Speaker 1: the character that the team was looking for. And so

1978
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 1: that's what makes this such a more difficult process at

1979
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,320
Speaker 1: this point. Again, it's it's easier in a way because

1980
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 1: if you're just watching the tape, we can all see

1981
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:25,840
Speaker 1: who can play. But it's much more difficult game to

1982
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,000
Speaker 1: know who the man is and is he's somebody that

1983
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,800
Speaker 1: you can rely on to be a proud member and

1984
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 1: truly be somebody that the Buffalo Bills can be proud

1985
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: of when he's walking around on the streets. We're talking

1986
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:39,679
Speaker 1: with Rob rang Fox Sports NFL draft analysts, and there's

1987
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:42,679
Speaker 1: been some movement already at the top of the draft,

1988
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: Miami trading from three, then to twelve and back up

1989
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 1: to six, and San Francisco jumping up into the three slot.

1990
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: Obviously seems that they're going to take a quarterback there.

1991
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,880
Speaker 1: What do you think that means for Miami? What were

1992
01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 1: they thinking about this, How does this work for Miami?

1993
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 1: And and conversely what the forty nine ers looking at? Well,

1994
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers are basically just looking

1995
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,320
Speaker 1: at the fact that they have a quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo,

1996
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,880
Speaker 1: who's a good player. He just just struggled with durability

1997
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 1: ever since he was traded from New England to the

1998
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: Cents forty nine Ers has missed a number of games

1999
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 1: over the last three seasons for a team that, again

2000
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: like Buffalo, is very much built to win right now,

2001
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: and if they just had a little bit more consistency

2002
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, they really would be in a

2003
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:32,560
Speaker 1: position to be competing for NFC West titles. But of

2004
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 1: course they have struggled with durability there, so I would

2005
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 1: be stunned if the forty nine Ers do not go

2006
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: with the quarterback. All of the buzz right now it

2007
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 1: seems to be centering around Alabama's Mac Jones, who physically

2008
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 1: isn't the most impressive looking quarterback that you've ever seen.

2009
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:48,919
Speaker 1: Nobody is going to compare him to Josh Allen, for example,

2010
01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:51,280
Speaker 1: in terms of size, in terms of arm strength, in

2011
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: terms of mobility, But at the same time he is

2012
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 1: a very smart quarterback, and then that fits in very

2013
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 1: well with Kyle Shanahan. Of course, the head coach in

2014
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 1: Sancisco is looking to do. I think the trade lands

2015
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: from North Dakota States and justin Fields from Ohio State

2016
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 1: are also candidates there because they do have the higher

2017
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 1: athletic profile, and that's generally what NFL teams look for

2018
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,479
Speaker 1: on draft days. Rather than going with a safer player,

2019
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 1: they go with a player who has a little bit

2020
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 1: higher upside. So, regardless of who it's going to be,

2021
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:22,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine er is that number three. I think

2022
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: that it sets up really well for the Miami golfers

2023
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:26,600
Speaker 1: to be able to get all of the picks that

2024
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 1: they did from San Francisco really shows what an incredible

2025
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 1: quarterback class at this is. And then Miami trading back

2026
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 1: up and I think that it raises some questions that

2027
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 1: they might have about how comfortable they are with their

2028
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 1: second year quarterback. Two Attack of Biola of course as

2029
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: the first round selection a year ago, but struggled a

2030
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 1: little bit with consistency. The fact that they move back

2031
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:50,200
Speaker 1: up to number six, they still should they should still

2032
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: be in position to take another quarterback if they need to.

2033
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely, however, they're going to go

2034
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 1: with one of the pass catchers a Jamar Chase from LSU,

2035
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 1: Devant Smith, the Rainy Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama, which

2036
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:05,799
Speaker 1: makes some sense reuniting him with two A. Tager Biola.

2037
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle is the speedster of the bunch, another pass

2038
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 1: catcher from Alabama. Again, reuniting him with Tager Biola would

2039
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: make some sense. And in my favorite pass catcher of

2040
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:17,759
Speaker 1: this entire draft across Kyle Pitts, the tight end slash

2041
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 1: wide receiver from FLOORA, is absolutely dynamic. I cannot imagine

2042
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: a scenario which he is not selected in the top ten.

2043
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 1: He is exactly the type of player that would make sense.

2044
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,200
Speaker 1: Reminding the trade, doown acquire all those picks and move

2045
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: right back up and still being able to get the

2046
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 1: pass catcher to help your young quarterback be successful. In

2047
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 1: your three round mock draft, you've got the Bills selecting

2048
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,840
Speaker 1: a pretty versatile corner in who could be versaal corner

2049
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:44,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL with what he's been able to do

2050
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 1: at Washington. You have them selecting Elijah Moulden, who can

2051
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:54,639
Speaker 1: be your nickel, your slot guy, but who can also

2052
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: work inside. To out why you think he could be

2053
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 1: someone who would be useful in Buffalo's system and in

2054
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense, who played primarily nickel last season. Physicality, instincts, awareness,

2055
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:15,519
Speaker 1: the versatility that you just highlighted there. He is, in

2056
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 1: my opinion, one of the absolute elite defensive backs in

2057
01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 1: this draft class. Unfortunately for Elijah Molden, he just didn't

2058
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: run like that. He ran the high four fives his

2059
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: pro day and because of that fact that he might

2060
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 1: be a candidate slides into the second round based on

2061
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: the University of Watchingtons pro day being a couple of

2062
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 1: days after I submitted that mock draft. But I do

2063
01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 1: believe that he absolutely fits in with what Buffalo was

2064
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 1: looking for, and that was a great deal of respect

2065
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 1: to the corners that Buffalo already has on the roster

2066
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 1: Treevius White is one of the best cover corners in

2067
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 1: my opinion, all the NFL. And we all saw what

2068
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 1: Tron Johnson did, and I remember watching Ron Johnson back

2069
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 1: of Weaver State. He was one of my favorite sleepers

2070
01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:57,439
Speaker 1: of the draft a couple of years ago. And it's

2071
01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 1: that same type of ball skills, tenacity, reliability. It is

2072
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 1: why I like Ron Johnson's the same kind of traits

2073
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:07,600
Speaker 1: that I like about Elijah Molden. I can't promise you

2074
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 1: that Elijah Molden is going to be a first round

2075
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 1: selection again. The slower than expected forty yard dash times

2076
01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:15,120
Speaker 1: are absolutely going to play a part in that, and

2077
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 1: the fact that this is a really strong classic corners.

2078
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 1: I could see a number of other defensive backs wind

2079
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 1: up jumping ahead of Bolden. I can tell you this,

2080
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 1: Elijah Molden is going to wind up out playing his

2081
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 1: draft position. If he is not selected in the first round.

2082
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 1: He will be a starter in the NFL. And let's

2083
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 1: face it, the nickel corner is a starter in today's NFL,

2084
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 1: especially when you're playing against the versatile offenses the Buffalo

2085
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 1: has to face, not only in the AFC East, but

2086
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 1: if they're gonna be competing against the Kansas City Chiefs,

2087
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:47,720
Speaker 1: for example, for the opportunity to play for a Super Bowl. Yeah,

2088
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:49,679
Speaker 1: one of the it makes perfect sense for the Bills

2089
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 1: to go cornerback. They've been looking for us a replacement

2090
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:54,600
Speaker 1: for Levi Wallace for three years. Haven't been able to

2091
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 1: get it done. The guy's been impossible to get out

2092
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: of the lineup. And of course, Tradavious White, you'd like

2093
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 1: a book in corner for him. The second round of

2094
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:03,200
Speaker 1: your mock draft, you've got the Bills going a little

2095
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 1: bit surprising because we're all enamored with Matt Milano and

2096
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:08,839
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds here in Buffalo. You've got him taking Jabril

2097
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 1: Cox out of LSU, the linebacker with the second round pick.

2098
01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 1: Why do Jabril Cox? Jabril Cox? This is one of

2099
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 1: my favorite players in the draft, and I almost consider

2100
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 1: myself to be kind of a closet Buffalo Bills fan,

2101
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:24,600
Speaker 1: even being way out here in the Pacific Northwest and

2102
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 1: u And one of the reasons I say that is

2103
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:29,719
Speaker 1: because they just played with the physicality that I've always

2104
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 1: appreciated the football field. Jabril Cox has a different level

2105
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:36,920
Speaker 1: of athletic ability and coverage skills at the corner or

2106
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 1: at the linebacker position. I'm a big fan of Matt

2107
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,839
Speaker 1: Milano and Tremaine Edwins as well. I think the Buffalo

2108
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:45,840
Speaker 1: Bills fans have two of the better young linebackers and

2109
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 1: all the league that not a lot of people are

2110
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:51,679
Speaker 1: really talking about. But with Cox, talking about a different

2111
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 1: kind of an athlete, this is almost more of like

2112
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 1: a like a roaming safety. He is a guy that

2113
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: has great mobility, great instincts, and coverage. He would play it.

2114
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 1: Previously played at North Dakota State before he transferred over

2115
01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:07,120
Speaker 1: to LSU, and let's just say to talk about that

2116
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 1: for a moment. I mean, just the confidence to go

2117
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 1: from North Dakota State at FCS school to be able

2118
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: to go to the reigning defend defending champions at that point,

2119
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:20,640
Speaker 1: and not only to start for them, to do it

2120
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:23,960
Speaker 1: at an extremely high level, to test off out of

2121
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:26,760
Speaker 1: the roof, you know, during the pro day workouts and

2122
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 1: things like that, to go to the Senior Bowl and

2123
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 1: really show off his versatility. To me, this is one

2124
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: who I just think that he makes a lot of

2125
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:35,920
Speaker 1: sense for a Buffalo Bill squad that it is still

2126
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 1: going to be looking for some playmakers and every team, no,

2127
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:41,320
Speaker 1: just like we talked about before at the cornerback position,

2128
01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:43,719
Speaker 1: every team in the league has to try and worry

2129
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: about those those mismatch players, those those tight ends. They're

2130
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,559
Speaker 1: kind of popping up all throughout the NFL that are

2131
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 1: true mismatches that most linebackers cannot cover, you know, straight

2132
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:56,559
Speaker 1: down the field and space. Now. I know Jermaine Edmonds

2133
01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:59,880
Speaker 1: has unbelievable straight line speed, but to me, this is

2134
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:02,600
Speaker 1: all about the Buffalo Bills trying to find players that

2135
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 1: to make sure that if you did have some type

2136
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:07,040
Speaker 1: of injury that you had the horses in the back

2137
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: to be able to handle the most dynamic offenses in

2138
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm confident that Cox can do exactly that.

2139
01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 1: And then in your third round pick for the Buffalo Bills,

2140
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: you have them selecting probably one of my favorite humans

2141
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:23,000
Speaker 1: on this earth. I worked at Tennessee for four years

2142
01:54:23,120 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: before I came to Buffalo and got to know Tray

2143
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 1: Smith the offensive guard, very very well and his family

2144
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: and his sister. He is someone who worked his butt

2145
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 1: off to get onto the field and to stay on

2146
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 1: the field. He is he checks the character box for

2147
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills want. This is a pure bred leader.

2148
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,840
Speaker 1: This is just a wonderful person to be around, with

2149
01:54:48,080 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 1: a great heart. So why, besides what I just said,

2150
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 1: do you think Tray Smith is a good fit for

2151
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:57,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in the third round. Well, he's got

2152
01:54:58,040 --> 01:55:00,360
Speaker 1: the big heart, as you said, which is not surprise,

2153
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:02,920
Speaker 1: and considering the six six, three hundred and twenty five

2154
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 1: pounds you know, I mean, he just kind of fits

2155
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: in with what the Buffalo Bills like to do. Again,

2156
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:10,880
Speaker 1: when you have the dominant duel threat type quarterback like

2157
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen who not only has the great arm

2158
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 1: and the great pasture, but it's also the runner that

2159
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: he is UM and you have the kind of developing

2160
01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: running game that the Buffalo has. I really like the

2161
01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 1: way that they don't have just one back, they have

2162
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:28,080
Speaker 1: an assortment of backs. Then if you have the big,

2163
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 1: burly offensive line, UM, there's being able to put put

2164
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 1: people on the backsides as far as far as just

2165
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:37,440
Speaker 1: being pure drive blockers, and I think that that just

2166
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: gives the Bills that much more power in the running game,

2167
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:44,800
Speaker 1: that much more stability in the passing game. Tray Smith,

2168
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:48,280
Speaker 1: it only allowed one sack in in the in twenty nineteen,

2169
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:51,400
Speaker 1: a full season, which is remarkable considering the level of

2170
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:53,840
Speaker 1: competition that he was facing every day in the SEC

2171
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: because tennis, the Tennessee volunteers had not had the success

2172
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:01,400
Speaker 1: they've had, uh you know, in frier years than on

2173
01:56:01,440 --> 01:56:03,280
Speaker 1: the football field. I think that he is one of

2174
01:56:03,320 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 1: those players and Trey Smith that maybe is again is

2175
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:09,760
Speaker 1: somebody that people nationally aren't talking enough about, and there

2176
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:12,440
Speaker 1: are some health concerns with him. He had blood clots

2177
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:15,320
Speaker 1: and it's discovered in his lungs and that is scared

2178
01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:17,400
Speaker 1: off a lot of people. We talked about this earlier

2179
01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:20,520
Speaker 1: in the show, Guys about the possibility that without the

2180
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 1: medical testing at the combine, there's going to be some

2181
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 1: players this is going to negatively impact. Trey Smith tragically

2182
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 1: could be one of those players. But this is a really,

2183
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 1: really good football players, Maddie you just mentioned even better

2184
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:35,280
Speaker 1: person off the field as well. Again, to me, those

2185
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:36,880
Speaker 1: are some of the things I think that the Buffalo

2186
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 1: Bills are really developing something special. I think that he

2187
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 1: is another one of those players that really makes a

2188
01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 1: lot of sense for them and for other clubs who

2189
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: are just looking for a reliable, consistent player who has

2190
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 1: the size, the strength, the power, and the consistency against

2191
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:53,839
Speaker 1: an elite level of competition to be able to contribute

2192
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:56,840
Speaker 1: immediately if necessary. We're talking to Rob Rank, Fox Sports

2193
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 1: NFL Draft analysts. You also co host Locked on Seahawks podcast.

2194
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:02,600
Speaker 1: I got to ask you about it the Seahawks from here.

2195
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 1: We're a gazillion miles away from from Seattle, but we

2196
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 1: all heard all the way through the NFL about the

2197
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 1: comments Russell Wilson made earlier in the off season and

2198
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:15,120
Speaker 1: how it started this ripple effect across the league. What's

2199
01:57:15,160 --> 01:57:18,040
Speaker 1: the real and just in general, what's the relationship between

2200
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:21,200
Speaker 1: Russ and the Seahawks. Is it damaged at all? Or

2201
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:24,080
Speaker 1: we make him too big a deal of this. I

2202
01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 1: think that the national media is making a big deal

2203
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:29,720
Speaker 1: about that was basically just kind of an offhand comment

2204
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 1: that of course he is getting tired of being hit.

2205
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's you know, he is the most sack

2206
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:38,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL throughout his career. At the same time,

2207
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:40,680
Speaker 1: he has not missed a single game due to injury,

2208
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:42,880
Speaker 1: which is, you know, a testament to him as much

2209
01:57:42,920 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 1: as it is to anything else. But at the same time,

2210
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:47,800
Speaker 1: I think that he has a head coach and Pete Carroll,

2211
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:50,360
Speaker 1: that he has a pretty strong relationship with m and

2212
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 1: as well as the general manager, John Schneider. And then

2213
01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 1: I think that we just saw it just in the

2214
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:57,760
Speaker 1: last couple of days that then see I was able

2215
01:57:57,800 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 1: to bring back the edge Rasher Carlos and Carlos Dunlap

2216
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:04,600
Speaker 1: came out and said during his press conference that he

2217
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: would not have signed back with Seattle had he not

2218
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:11,120
Speaker 1: believed that Russell Wilson was going to return, and that

2219
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:14,960
Speaker 1: he specifically called reached out to Russell Wilson and Wilson

2220
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,840
Speaker 1: said that he was playing on returning. So I think

2221
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 1: this is you know, what we see basically happening across

2222
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 1: the NFL every offseason, is is that there is a

2223
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 1: is a primetime player, especially one who, in Wilson's case,

2224
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 1: is the Walter Payton Man of the Year for his uh,

2225
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 1: not only his play on the field, of course, but

2226
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:34,440
Speaker 1: everything he's done off the field. Then he was basically

2227
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:37,160
Speaker 1: just kind of making the runs during the Super Bowl,

2228
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, media blitz and doing all those interviews and

2229
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:43,240
Speaker 1: a couple of you know, a couple of comments that

2230
01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 1: were picked up, and people are making a lot of

2231
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:47,840
Speaker 1: talk about it. I think the fact that his agent

2232
01:58:47,960 --> 01:58:50,360
Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of different teams that he might be

2233
01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:54,280
Speaker 1: willing to explore trades and definitely generate that much more interest.

2234
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I would be surprised if

2235
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:59,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is not part of the Seahawks this mutant

2236
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:03,600
Speaker 1: next season and several seasons moving forward. Rob, thank you

2237
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:06,200
Speaker 1: so much for the time. Thanks for educating us on

2238
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 1: some of those prospects that could be headed to Buffalo

2239
01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 1: and why you think they are good fits for the

2240
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and taking us around the AFC East with

2241
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:18,320
Speaker 1: some of the higher picks that the Dolphins have, that

2242
01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:21,080
Speaker 1: the Jets have, that the Patriots might have if they

2243
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:23,320
Speaker 1: choose to trade up and get a quarterback. That's a

2244
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:28,360
Speaker 1: whole different scenario and conversation. But great to hear what

2245
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 1: you have to say about all of that, as well

2246
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 1: as the Russell Wilson stuff, because it's pretty interesting. Thank you,

2247
01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:37,400
Speaker 1: appreciate you, No problem, Thanks for having me on, guys,

2248
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:40,400
Speaker 1: Take care. That was Rob rang He is the NFL

2249
01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 1: draft analyst for Fox Sports and the co hosts of

2250
01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:46,960
Speaker 1: the Locked On Seahawks podcast. I love getting to talk

2251
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 1: to draft analysts because they spend they have spent the

2252
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:54,320
Speaker 1: last few months, probably more than that, just studying up

2253
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 1: and learning about all of these prospects, watching the tape,

2254
01:59:58,680 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: evaluating their skill set, watching their pro days. And we're

2255
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 1: able to do that in like a very sample size

2256
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: in the free time that we get. So I appreciate

2257
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:12,640
Speaker 1: hearing their perspective because it goes so much deeper than

2258
02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:15,000
Speaker 1: what we're able to provide, and I just get like

2259
02:00:15,760 --> 02:00:18,360
Speaker 1: so nerdy about that stuff, and I love it. I

2260
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:20,920
Speaker 1: love the mock drafts. I love getting to hear about

2261
02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 1: different types of players and why they could be good

2262
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 1: fits for Buffalo based on where they're drafting and what round.

2263
02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:30,120
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's so cool. Yeah, you

2264
02:00:30,240 --> 02:00:33,400
Speaker 1: get an idea too. Is why sometimes it's hard to

2265
02:00:33,480 --> 02:00:36,800
Speaker 1: evaluate prospects, because he said a couple of times, Yeah,

2266
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 1: I love this guy, I love that guy, and this

2267
02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 1: is my favorite guy in this draft. You watch these

2268
02:00:41,960 --> 02:00:43,600
Speaker 1: guys on tape and you start to feel like you

2269
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:46,240
Speaker 1: get their personality. You kind of get a feel for them,

2270
02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:50,560
Speaker 1: and some about them strikes a chord with you, and

2271
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:52,440
Speaker 1: the way you watch tape and you like them, you

2272
02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:56,040
Speaker 1: get you get an affinity for them, and it's it's

2273
02:00:56,080 --> 02:01:00,440
Speaker 1: both something that's good and also bad about evaluating Could

2274
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:02,840
Speaker 1: you fall in love with the guy? Now? You don't

2275
02:01:02,920 --> 02:01:06,200
Speaker 1: see a better player that doesn't strike that chord with you,

2276
02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:08,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's it's it's great

2277
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 1: insight listening to him talk about all these guys that

2278
02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:13,760
Speaker 1: you watch film on and and what the kind of

2279
02:01:13,840 --> 02:01:16,720
Speaker 1: person they are. And I think more and more all

2280
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:19,560
Speaker 1: of us realize these clubs really you know, they can

2281
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:21,680
Speaker 1: see how the guy can play on tape, but what

2282
02:01:21,800 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 1: they really want to know is what kind of guys

2283
02:01:25,200 --> 02:01:26,440
Speaker 1: you when I get him in and when I invite

2284
02:01:26,480 --> 02:01:29,080
Speaker 1: him into the family and I start paying them a

2285
02:01:29,120 --> 02:01:30,440
Speaker 1: lot of money, is he still going to be that

2286
02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:32,120
Speaker 1: same guy or is he going to change? What can

2287
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:34,200
Speaker 1: we find out about him? And that's that's the thing,

2288
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 1: that's that's the holy grail of scouting, right that nobody

2289
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 1: really knows. Yeah, And I love having this relationship still

2290
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:42,920
Speaker 1: with some of the college players that I got to cover,

2291
02:01:43,120 --> 02:01:45,360
Speaker 1: watching them go into the NFL and seeing you know,

2292
02:01:45,440 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 1: a Trey Smith come up on the mock draft. I

2293
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:50,360
Speaker 1: saw Rob Ring's draft and it was mock draft and

2294
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:53,240
Speaker 1: it was a part of our mock draft watch, and

2295
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I saw a Trey's name and I was like, oh

2296
02:01:55,480 --> 02:01:57,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, I would love to have Trey come to

2297
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:00,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So it's always fun. Why watching those

2298
02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:03,800
Speaker 1: guys futures evolve and seeing them make it into the

2299
02:02:03,960 --> 02:02:07,280
Speaker 1: NFL and have success in the NFL is also one

2300
02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:09,800
Speaker 1: of the coolest things to watch as a sports fan.

2301
02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:13,400
Speaker 1: But good conversation. We're going to take a break when

2302
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 1: we come back, maybe dip into the tweet sheet again

2303
02:02:16,520 --> 02:02:20,520
Speaker 1: and continue our conversation about what the biggest and boldest

2304
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: move the Bills could still make in the off season

2305
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:25,400
Speaker 1: what that would be. But catch you here in a

2306
02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:27,840
Speaker 1: couple of minutes on One Bills Live, presented by Clyde

2307
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back into One Bill's Live.

2308
02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:51,000
Speaker 1: Maddie Glabs Steve Tasker here. As we approach the end

2309
02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:53,400
Speaker 1: of the show, we're going to dip back into the

2310
02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:56,240
Speaker 1: tweet sheet that we have going on, and the Twitter

2311
02:02:56,320 --> 02:02:59,440
Speaker 1: poll question for today is what's the boldest move the

2312
02:02:59,520 --> 02:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Bills could still make this offseason. Trade up in the

2313
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 1: draft for a top prospect, sign a big name free agent,

2314
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:08,480
Speaker 1: swing a trade for a position of need or other.

2315
02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:12,600
Speaker 1: And when we checked in last time, trade for a

2316
02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:17,400
Speaker 1: position of need was leading the way. But it looks

2317
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,080
Speaker 1: like everybody likes a little bit of excitement in their

2318
02:03:20,160 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 1: lives like I do, and we're leading with trade up

2319
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:27,400
Speaker 1: in the draft or for a top prospect, Go get him.

2320
02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:30,360
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, the higher you get in the draft,

2321
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:33,800
Speaker 1: the more Let's let's face it. We said it during

2322
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:37,520
Speaker 1: our interview with Kyle Brant, when you draft these guys,

2323
02:03:38,040 --> 02:03:43,200
Speaker 1: particularly for the Bill's Mafia, it's a marriage. You're getting

2324
02:03:43,240 --> 02:03:45,480
Speaker 1: this guy. He's part of the family, whether he knows it,

2325
02:03:45,640 --> 02:03:47,720
Speaker 1: or not likes it or not or whatever, you get him.

2326
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 1: The higher you go, the longer the marriage is gonna last. Right,

2327
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 1: more pressure, right, the more pressure there is, and the

2328
02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:58,960
Speaker 1: more chances this guy's gonna get, the more slack he's

2329
02:03:58,960 --> 02:04:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna get. But all so, the more boxes he checks

2330
02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:03,880
Speaker 1: and the more likely it is that he's the right guy.

2331
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:10,720
Speaker 1: So picking at thirty, that's a long drop. It's a

2332
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 1: really long drop. And the guys that are gonna be

2333
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 1: available at thirty are still gonna be awesome players, no

2334
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:22,000
Speaker 1: question about it, but they're not going to be difference man. Now,

2335
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: certainly this is a different This is a team that

2336
02:04:23,880 --> 02:04:25,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have that much room or got to come in

2337
02:04:25,640 --> 02:04:28,040
Speaker 1: and make a big difference for But you would like

2338
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:30,280
Speaker 1: to see somebody who, if they're not going to play,

2339
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:32,840
Speaker 1: starting a starting role right away, you would like to

2340
02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:36,840
Speaker 1: see somebody who can play snaps that matter, right, whether

2341
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:40,440
Speaker 1: it's a rotational player, whether it's somebody who balls out

2342
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:42,600
Speaker 1: on special teams. I'd like to see a little bit

2343
02:04:42,680 --> 02:04:46,280
Speaker 1: more from a first round pick, maybe than just special

2344
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:48,720
Speaker 1: teams in his first year. And we saw I mean,

2345
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:51,120
Speaker 1: we didn't have a first round pick last year, but

2346
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 1: our first pick was in the second round and it

2347
02:04:53,400 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: was aja Epinessa and he didn't play starting minutes per se,

2348
02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:02,600
Speaker 1: but he did play some meaning snaps and definitely grew

2349
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:06,640
Speaker 1: as the season went on. We saw he had to

2350
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 1: do a body transformation when he got here, lost a

2351
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:13,040
Speaker 1: little too much weight and was able to put that

2352
02:05:13,120 --> 02:05:16,240
Speaker 1: back on and got to learn from a new defensive

2353
02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: line coach and Eric Washington, and play and learn from

2354
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:22,000
Speaker 1: some great players. So I'm excited to see what he

2355
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:24,400
Speaker 1: can bring to the table in his second year in

2356
02:05:24,480 --> 02:05:26,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. But we can go back to the tweet

2357
02:05:26,880 --> 02:05:30,120
Speaker 1: sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

2358
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:34,640
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and JT says,

2359
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:39,640
Speaker 1: trade up for a position of need, maybe defensive end

2360
02:05:39,880 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 1: or maybe corner. I'd like to see the Bills get

2361
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 1: Asante Samuel or JC Horn. Steve and Maddie, what do

2362
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:48,760
Speaker 1: you think our position needs are now that we have

2363
02:05:48,960 --> 02:05:51,600
Speaker 1: signed a few linemen? Steve, do you think we still

2364
02:05:51,680 --> 02:05:54,960
Speaker 1: need another lineman? Go Bills. Oh, you can't have too

2365
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,560
Speaker 1: many linemen. Nope, So I would say, yeah, I still

2366
02:05:57,640 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 1: need a lineman. And two, I was right with Rob

2367
02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:03,680
Speaker 1: rang who came in and said, The depth in this

2368
02:06:03,880 --> 02:06:08,640
Speaker 1: draft is in wide receiver, cornerbacks, cornerbacks like Tardavious White,

2369
02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:12,640
Speaker 1: and offensive lineman. Two of those are positions where the

2370
02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Bills you can get a good player and use them.

2371
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:20,440
Speaker 1: They're looking for a good second cornerback. I think they're

2372
02:06:20,480 --> 02:06:22,520
Speaker 1: still looking for one. If they draft one, they're still

2373
02:06:22,520 --> 02:06:24,360
Speaker 1: going to sign another one, you know what I mean.

2374
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be one of those like that.

2375
02:06:26,440 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 1: We just saw him, you know. With the two guys

2376
02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:32,840
Speaker 1: they signed over the weekend here in Buffalo. They signed

2377
02:06:33,520 --> 02:06:37,360
Speaker 1: Jamil Douglas, an offensive lineman, and then they signed guard

2378
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Forrest Lamp. They're gonna sign a cornerback. They may draft

2379
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:43,840
Speaker 1: a cornerback. They may draft two cornerbacks in this draft.

2380
02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:48,440
Speaker 1: They'll still sign another cornerback and also offensive linemen. This

2381
02:06:48,640 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: draft is deep in that. So it's perfect for where

2382
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the Bills sit right now. And maybe it's because Brandon

2383
02:06:53,560 --> 02:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Bean sees this the same way our guy Rob Rang

2384
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:59,440
Speaker 1: did from Fox Sports. He says, this is a deep

2385
02:06:59,520 --> 02:07:03,920
Speaker 1: draft in cornerbacks and offensive linemen. Well, the Bills can

2386
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:06,160
Speaker 1: take their pick at thirty and stay right there, or

2387
02:07:06,200 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 1: maybe they jump up a little higher and get a

2388
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:10,240
Speaker 1: guy to make sure they get a guy who checks

2389
02:07:10,240 --> 02:07:13,800
Speaker 1: off a few more physical boxes than they than others do. Yeah,

2390
02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:22,440
Speaker 1: and wide receiver okay, but still that's that's perfect for

2391
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 1: this draft. Yes, I do believe the Bills will take

2392
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:30,520
Speaker 1: a corner I'm right with I'm right well with this tweet.

2393
02:07:31,200 --> 02:07:36,240
Speaker 1: He mentioned JT did A, Sante Samuel and J. C. Horne,

2394
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 1: And we had Greg Cosell on last week who will

2395
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Speaker 1: have on again this week. And he broke down some

2396
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:45,680
Speaker 1: cornerbacks for us last week, and those were two names

2397
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:48,080
Speaker 1: that I believe he said they could be off the

2398
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 1: board before the Bills get to number thirty, because those

2399
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:55,400
Speaker 1: are some pretty talented cornerbacks. So it'll be interesting to

2400
02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:57,560
Speaker 1: see if the Bills have just fallen in if corner

2401
02:07:57,720 --> 02:07:59,400
Speaker 1: is the route that they want to go, and if

2402
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 1: they have true fallen in love with a couple of

2403
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:05,600
Speaker 1: corners who they think could be going maybe in the

2404
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:09,120
Speaker 1: early twenties, and they decide to move up to get

2405
02:08:09,200 --> 02:08:12,960
Speaker 1: someone like that, that would definitely make sense. TD Max

2406
02:08:13,040 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 1: says top prospect may not be in the cards or

2407
02:08:16,720 --> 02:08:20,200
Speaker 1: even desirable if the cost is high, but if a

2408
02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:23,200
Speaker 1: player that's high on our board slips I can see

2409
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:27,520
Speaker 1: BBB Big Baller Bean moving up a few spots to

2410
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:29,920
Speaker 1: try and snag him Go Bills. I think we're all

2411
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:34,240
Speaker 1: kind of in the same wheelhouse here with if someone's available.

2412
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has moved up before and he's not afraid

2413
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:40,920
Speaker 1: to do that. So if they if they really like

2414
02:08:41,080 --> 02:08:44,360
Speaker 1: somebody and they want to move up, yeah, the problem is,

2415
02:08:45,400 --> 02:08:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, under a bright light, sitting in a dark room,

2416
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:52,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean's not going to tell you who that guy is. Yeah,

2417
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:56,800
Speaker 1: and knows no doubt that there's a number of guys

2418
02:08:56,880 --> 02:08:59,080
Speaker 1: that they feel are good enough to take at thirty

2419
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:01,440
Speaker 1: and would love to take it thirty if they fall

2420
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:04,480
Speaker 1: or get within five spots. But we don't know who

2421
02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 1: those guys are. That's the big secret around these draft rooms.

2422
02:09:09,640 --> 02:09:12,040
Speaker 1: And that's why we're asking everybody that comes by here

2423
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 1: and we can talk to Do you really think the

2424
02:09:15,320 --> 02:09:17,560
Speaker 1: niners are going to pick a guy who physically looks

2425
02:09:17,560 --> 02:09:23,920
Speaker 1: like a second rounder in mac Jones, his arms not

2426
02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:29,280
Speaker 1: that strong, he can't run. It'll be really interesting because

2427
02:09:29,320 --> 02:09:32,160
Speaker 1: I think that's some if the forty nine ers really

2428
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:34,240
Speaker 1: want to take him, and they're seeing something that like

2429
02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:37,640
Speaker 1: you and I aren't seeing, which they're better at their

2430
02:09:37,760 --> 02:09:40,200
Speaker 1: job than I would be in a role like that.

2431
02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 1: So sometimes, you know, what is my opinion to theirs

2432
02:09:43,320 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 1: because they're NFL scouts, But that would be an opinion

2433
02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:49,960
Speaker 1: that would probably go against the general public in thinking

2434
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:53,960
Speaker 1: that mac Jones should go that high based on what

2435
02:09:54,240 --> 02:09:57,200
Speaker 1: people have said about him and what he has been

2436
02:09:57,360 --> 02:10:01,960
Speaker 1: evaluated or how he has been evaluated. Taking a quarterback

2437
02:10:02,160 --> 02:10:05,640
Speaker 1: or taking mac Jones that type of quarterback that high

2438
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:09,080
Speaker 1: when you have some other options that you could take

2439
02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:12,000
Speaker 1: at that number. Yeah, and that you know some people

2440
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:15,840
Speaker 1: are noticing as well that because of the quarterbacks that

2441
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:18,040
Speaker 1: are being taken, the guys that are moving up because

2442
02:10:18,080 --> 02:10:20,120
Speaker 1: of that, because it's a wide receiver draft and they

2443
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:23,840
Speaker 1: want to get these guys. You you may get a

2444
02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:28,320
Speaker 1: chance to grab a really talented player on the defensive

2445
02:10:28,360 --> 02:10:30,480
Speaker 1: side of the ball, because you know, the league is

2446
02:10:30,520 --> 02:10:34,240
Speaker 1: so much about offense these days and it is so

2447
02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 1: deep in offensive lineman that on the defensive side of

2448
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:40,760
Speaker 1: the ball, you may be able to get more the

2449
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:44,240
Speaker 1: guy you want in this draft the way it's structured

2450
02:10:44,320 --> 02:10:47,280
Speaker 1: than another year. So it'll be interesting to see that's true.

2451
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:50,120
Speaker 1: The Bills could completely luck out here because maybe other

2452
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:55,680
Speaker 1: teams are offensive minded and are thinking within the vein

2453
02:10:55,800 --> 02:11:00,560
Speaker 1: of running back, wide receiver, quarterback, and maybe we're thinking

2454
02:11:00,760 --> 02:11:04,760
Speaker 1: offensive linemen or defensive players. But a lot more to

2455
02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:07,600
Speaker 1: talk about here as we round out the show on

2456
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Stick with us as we close it

2457

Speaker 1: all out. One Bill's Live presented by Kalia Health on

2458
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:30,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio sign for what Have We Learned? Brought

2459
02:11:30,800 --> 02:11:34,760
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction company, equipment rental

2460
02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:38,560
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And today we had on

2461
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:42,320
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football's Kyle Brant, who also is the host

2462
02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:45,280
Speaker 1: of the Ten Questions with Kyle Brant podcast. On he

2463
02:11:45,400 --> 02:11:48,080
Speaker 1: had Josh Allen on his podcast and here's what he

2464
02:11:48,160 --> 02:11:51,920
Speaker 1: had to say about Bill's Mafia recruiting Josh Allen to

2465
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:56,120
Speaker 1: do the podcast. I just tweeted, I'd really like to

2466
02:11:56,200 --> 02:11:59,480
Speaker 1: have at Josh Allen QB and the show. I wonder

2467
02:11:59,520 --> 02:12:01,800
Speaker 1: if the Bill Mafia would help me recruit him. Send

2468
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:06,480
Speaker 1: the tweet out, go about your day. Fifty six minutes later,

2469
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:09,120
Speaker 1: fifty six I looked at the timestamp. I looked at

2470
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:12,080
Speaker 1: the clock. I get an email from the Great Cavin Kerns.

2471
02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 1: It just says Josh is in. I replay. Wait, he's in.

2472
02:12:16,560 --> 02:12:19,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it. He's in, How's next Tuesday? Fifty

2473
02:12:20,040 --> 02:12:23,960
Speaker 1: six minutes. Now, I defy any other fan base, thirty

2474
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,080
Speaker 1: one other fan bases to turn it around at all,

2475
02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:30,800
Speaker 1: let alone that quickly. I would challenge the dog Pound

2476
02:12:31,080 --> 02:12:33,760
Speaker 1: to get Baker Mayfield in fifty six minutes. I would

2477
02:12:33,880 --> 02:12:37,360
Speaker 1: challenge the twelfth Man to get Russell Wilson in fifty

2478
02:12:37,360 --> 02:12:41,440
Speaker 1: six minutes. You couldn't do it in five years. Bills Fans, Bam.

2479
02:12:43,800 --> 02:12:46,560
Speaker 1: That was Kyle Brandt on what he had to say

2480
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:49,840
Speaker 1: just about the power of Bills mafia that we all

2481
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 1: know and love and so are so appreciative of to

2482
02:12:53,880 --> 02:12:56,960
Speaker 1: have a fan base that loves the Buffalo Bills as

2483
02:12:57,040 --> 02:12:59,920
Speaker 1: much as we do, and they it didn't take long.

2484
02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:02,720
Speaker 1: I knew when he said that that that's got a

2485
02:13:02,800 --> 02:13:05,400
Speaker 1: chance to happen now that he put it out there

2486
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:09,160
Speaker 1: like that, and certainly it did. And and because it's funny,

2487
02:13:09,280 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 1: because once it gets the attention of Josh's teammates, his

2488
02:13:13,080 --> 02:13:15,920
Speaker 1: teammates have the real power, and the mafia moves the

2489
02:13:15,960 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: teammates and the team to move Josh and John Feliciano

2490
02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:22,600
Speaker 1: Feliciano got on board and that was it. His offensive lineman.

2491
02:13:22,720 --> 02:13:25,560
Speaker 1: His protector said, buddy, you should go and do this.

2492
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Has a good show today. We had a lot of

2493
02:13:28,680 --> 02:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt was on. He's always a home run. People

2494
02:13:30,960 --> 02:13:32,760
Speaker 1: love having when we have him on. He's a big

2495
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:36,200
Speaker 1: member of great person remember the Mafia. Of course Rob Rang,

2496
02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:37,680
Speaker 1: who we I don't know if we've ever had Rob

2497
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Rang on Fox NFL. A Fox Sports NFL draft analyst

2498
02:13:42,440 --> 02:13:45,800
Speaker 1: was very insightful getting into the nitty gritty's corners O

2499
02:13:45,960 --> 02:13:49,080
Speaker 1: line or deep in this draft. That opens up a

2500
02:13:49,160 --> 02:13:52,760
Speaker 1: whole damn good to me. Tomorrow we're gonna have Shield

2501
