49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: good to see you Friday, my birthday. So for my

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: birthday for people who hadn't seen it, and we didn't

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: tweet it or anything. But the thing to do is now,

52
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I sit on the porch and all my friends or whoever,

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: all you know, all three of them, they drive by

54
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: a car and just waved right, and so a couple

55
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: of friends didn't. They came the whole you know, we

56
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: know a bunch of because all our kids overlap with

57
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: all of our friends kids, you know how that is right,

58
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: And so their whole families were driving by in a

59
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: car and they decked the car out and stuff. My buddy,

60
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: who's my partner at golf, he drove by with his family.

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: He's he's It was the funniest thing ever. They drove

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: by and as a joke they drove by threw a

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: present out the window of the car, just threw it out,

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: like wrapped and stuff, just threw it out onto the

65
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: yard and just kept driving. It was good though. It

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: was was not fragile. It was actually a roll of

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: toilet paper wrapped in a gift, so nice, very thoughtful. Yeah,

68
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was a fun time. So my

69
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: wife and I sat there, and you came by, and

70
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: some of all of our friends drove by, and and

71
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's probably one of the more rememberable birthdays

72
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I've I've had in a long long time, absolutely remember right. Yeah,

73

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: guests today. But man, what it struck me how busy

108
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: the week was, Steve, Just a lot going on when

109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: we were off the air, and no, not in chronological order.

110
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the stuff that I went on.

111
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: The league and the NFLPA agreed on and put out

112
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: guidelines for the Virtual offseason Program, a voluntary program. It'll

113
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: start officially next Monday. It'll be four days a week,

114
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: four hours a day. Now. The Bills are going to

115
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: start their off season program next Monday anyway, April twentieth,

116
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: so it'll start at the day we're supposed to. The

117
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: teams with new coaches, the five teams with new coaches,

118
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: they did not get that extra week yet, but the

119
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: league agreed to give them an extra week of practice,

120
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: hopefully sometime down the line. But the teams starting next

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Monday can do classroom instruction, workouts on non football educational programs,

122
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: all of it in a virtual sense, in a digital sense,

123
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: so nobody's going to get together. Nobody's gonna be going

124
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: through workouts and practicing, but they'll do it all on

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: video starting next Monday. And I think it's good that

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the league has a plan in play, Steve right, and

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: they're starting. You know, they've got to iron all this

128
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: out because none of this is in the current CBA

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: or anything like that. So the players uni'll get involved

130
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: and say okay, because they can't just turn the league

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: loose to do whatever it wants because you know, it's

132
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: just not the way it works. So and the thing

133
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: the killer is, so for instance, the way this this

134
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: whole lockdown quarantine things working. It's bad here in New

135
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: York in the Northeast, and then you know, we'll get

136
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: theoretically get over humped while it will peak in other places. Well,

137
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: if if any of these and if one NFL team

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: is available and is able to open up their facility

139
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: while other teams are not, the whole league is shut down.

140
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: They won't even if things clear up here in New

141
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: York State or whatever, if we get on the back

142
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: side of the curve and and they can start to

143
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, we can get back to some sense of normal.

144
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: They won't let anybody open their their league off everything

145
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: has to be a level playing field. If your facility

146
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: is open, so does everybody else's have to be. And

147
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: if that's not possible, everybody stays closed. So you know,

148
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: they've got a long way to go. But virtual period,

149
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, two hours on the classroom and two hours

150
00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: work out. How's that workout gonna work? Gonna be like

151
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: little Jane Fonda thing on a little computer screen or

152
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm dating myself right, because no, I know, you know

153
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, they're gonna be like do

154
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: it workout on Skype or something I want? That's I

155
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: don't get it. Now. There is a thing too there

156
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: can they can send out equipment to their players, Uh,

157
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: like Apple watches and stuff. Hey, you got to wear

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: this while you workout so we can keep track of

159
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: how you're doing. That's that's pretty good, U. And that's possible.

160
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: But still it's amazing what they are able to do

161
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: these days. Uh. And you can bet the NFL teams

162
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: will take full advantage of it if they can keep

163
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: tabs on their players. Yep. Uh. Starting May eighteens, teams

164
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: can choose to continue their offseason workout programs virtually are

165
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: on field, although that is a big question right now.

166
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: They'll take a while for them to decide whether teams

167
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: can get together and uh should get together, um so um.

168
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: That that's one thing that came down. The virtual offseason

169
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: programs voluntary. They're all voluntary too, by the way, the

170
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: teams cannot compel players to do it. We know how

171
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: the Bills have had really good attendance and participation in

172
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: their volunteer workouts the last couple of years. It would

173
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: anticipate that will continue. Also NFL News the last few days,

174
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Where do I begin here? Competition committed late last week.

175
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: I put together its list of proposed rules changes, and

176
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: it really is more significant of what they proposed, not

177
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: to suggest a change in terms, rather than what they're

178
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: proposing change. There is no suggestion to extend replay on

179
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: past interference. That was the one year deal that went

180
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: in place last year. That was a mess right from

181
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: the start, the result of the coaches, Sean Payton, taking

182
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the matters into their own hands. They allowed teams to

183
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: challenge for a replay on past interference. No suggestion at

184
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: all to extend that. I think that's pretty much dead.

185
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: I think everybody's anticipating that's going to die, Steve. Yeah,

186
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: and it'll die, you know, a worthy death, I mean,

187
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: very very much anticipated death. It didn't work. It was

188
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: a bad idea from the get go, but it does spur.

189
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: I think it's one you know, if there's anything good

190
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: that's going to come out of it. Murph, it's the

191
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: sense that now the league has gotten to a point

192
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: where it can adapt quicker than it has in the past.

193
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Certainly it was a bad adaptation. It was a bad

194
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: way to do it. But if they can change the

195
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: rule of that magnitude and do it quickly, you know

196
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: that it shows that they can do it if something

197
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: good comes along. I think, I don't know. We can

198
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: get into this maybe later in the show and talk

199
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: about it for the weeks to come, but I think

200
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: the sky Judge is just a matter of time. Don't

201
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: well then see think well the thing is though the

202
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: Competition Committee had no suggestion on a sky judge either.

203
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: Now a couple of teams, the Ravens and Chargers, suggested

204
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: a booth umpire, a guy that review calls up on

205
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: the boots, So maybe that'll be considered. But the Competition Committee,

206
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: which is really where rules changes come from, no mentioned,

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: no suggestion of all of a sky Judge. I would

208
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: think they're in it to move into the sky Judge era,

209
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: but maybe not. The owners will decide in May when

210
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: they get together and meet. I hope, I kind of

211
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: hope they do use the sky Judge. You know, I

212
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: think it would solve a lot of the problems they

213
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: currently have, don't you. Yeah. I think it would at

214
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: least smooth the surface, you know, I mean it streamline it.

215
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: I think you can imagine too, or when we've seen it,

216
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: when they started doing the review thing and about that

217
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: and when they you know, was it a fumble or

218
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: not a fumble, and the officials kind of evolved into

219
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: or learned really quickly that hey, just let it play

220
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: and then that way, if it was a fumble, you

221
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: didn't miss it right, or you don't. Don't call the

222
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: play dead until it's dead, you know. So I think

223
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: with a sky Judge team, you know, officials and coaches

224
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: and players, they'll get to the point where they'll say, Okay,

225
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: let's just play this and if if it's wrong, sky

226
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Judge will fix it, and they'll start to gain a

227
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: level of trust that if they did something wrong, it'll

228
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: get fixed. So let's just play and go, you know,

229
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: and keep this thing moving. So I think it'll it

230
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: will evolve pretty quickly if they did use a sky

231
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: judge into something that will make the game go faster. Yeah,

232
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: I agree, but as of right now, those suggestion from

233
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: the competition committee to use the sky joke. So that

234
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: came down when we were off What else came down

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: virtual offseason? Well, Christian McCaffrey yesterday was made the highest

236
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: paid running back in the NFL in his fourth year

237
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: he'll make He gets a four year, sixty four million

238
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: dollar deal from Carolina Panthers sixteen million a year, passes

239
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliot, who makes fourteen and a half million per year.

240
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: I thought teams are devaluating running back, Steven Here's Christian

241
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: McCaffrey getting sixteen million a year. What do you make

242
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: of that? I think it's I think it speaks the

243
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: fact that they traded Cam Newton or released Cam Newton.

244
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: They got a new head coach, and if they start,

245
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, if they didn't resign Christian McCaffrey or put

246
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: him out on the free agent market or traded him away,

247
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: they would be in the sweepstakes for Trevor Lawrence next year.

248
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think they would They would struggle to

249
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: win games at all. I think it's a sign that

250
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Leasta are not going to the coverage is not going

251
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: to be completely bare for Matt Rule and his new

252
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff. I just think it was a pr thing

253
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: to say, hey, listen, we're not you know, we gotta

254
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: sell some tickets if this season's going to go on.

255
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: So if you let Christian McCaffrey go or keep him

256
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: from being signed, we're gonna be dead in the water

257
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: with season tickets sales and all that kind of thing.

258
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: It would look bad for Carolina if Cam Newton and

259
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey weren't in the fold. Yeah, McCaffrey's value is

260
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: a receiving threat. I think makes him a little bit

261
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: different than the normal running back too. I mean, you

262
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: had a thousand yards rushing and receiving last year, which

263
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: is there's not too many guys who can do that,

264
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: and McCaffrey. I think that's why you could justify paying

265
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: that much money, sixteen million dollars a year. But it

266
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: does fly in the face of what the NFL has done.

267
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: The NFL Draft again nine days away, it'll take place

268
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: ESPN and NFL that we're sort of combining on this.

269
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: It'll take place from a television cent so it'll be

270
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: based at the ESPN studios in Bristol. Roger Goodell will

271
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: work from his basement in Bronxville, New York to announce

272
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: the first round fix. We'll get some of the UH

273
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: saw them more of the details from Trey Wingo as

274
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: much as he knows coming up at one o'clock. But

275
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to watch how the UH, to

276
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: watch how these UH picks are made. I think, don't

277
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: you think, Steve, it's gonna be. It's gonna be wild.

278
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: For all the trouble I've given other sports, you know,

279
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: like I always you know, the NHL, you know, when

280
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm mad at it, I'll call it a garage league,

281
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, and baseball Baseball's and atrocity and all, you know,

282
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: all the stuff I've said about those other sports. How

283
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: in year's eCOM are we got really gonna have a

284
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: year where we say, well, our draft was held in

285
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: the basement of the commissioner, you know, yeah, I mean

286
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And just what teams are going through, you know,

287
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: including Brandon Bean to set up his draft. Peter King

288
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: wrote a great piece about it, concentrating nine What a

289
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: Time to Meet Trof has set up in his basement,

290
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: the Futon general manager. I'm sure Brandon being right down

291
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: the road is a similar setup in his base or

292
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: in his house somewhere. It's gonna be amazing what these

293
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: teams in there, with the technology, what they're able to do,

294
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, And I'm sure they're spending a ton

295
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: a time these days getting it ready and up to

296
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: snuff and making it as usable and as efficient as

297
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: they possibly can, you know, I mean I can't. I

298
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe Brandon Bean's down there right now with

299
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: his little tool belt on, hanging whiteboards all over his basement.

300
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how's it gonna work, you know, so

301
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: or maybe getting you know, you you know, trans transforming

302
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: his big screen TV into a draft board somehow, some way.

303
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they gotta make some adjustments. There's

304
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: a lot, there's a lot on the table. There's a

305
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: lot of them nice And I'm telling you though, for

306
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: the bills, yeah, I'm kind of glad we're not you know,

307
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: like the first, third, second, fifth, whatever pick of the

308
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: draft this year. You know, lots of stuff could go

309
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: wrong in a year like this, you know, and I'm

310
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: not saying these it's rocket science. But nevertheless, you know,

311
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: it's nice not to have to go in thinking you're gonna,

312
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: like the Miami Dolphins, they're gonna build their entire franchise

313
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: around this draft done out of the commissioner's basement. Yeah,

314
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: it just doesn't just doesn't feel right right. The draft

315
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: is nine days away. The Bills don't draft till the

316
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: second round, fifty fourth overall. Random being in an article

317
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: or I guess a radio appearance he made over the weekend,

318
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: actually voices support for what Kevin Colbert, at the gem

319
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: of the Steelers said about adding this year only an

320
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: additional three rounds of the draft not going to happen.

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: I think the league's game was seven rounds, but being

322
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: said he would support three more rounds of the draft

323
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: to a tenth round. I think it's a good idea.

324
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't think the league is equipped, and I don't

325
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: think they're interested in doing it, But I'd be on

326
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: board with that, Steve, wouldn't you? It makes a lot

327
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: of sense to me. Yeah, it just makes a lot

328
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: of sense, and I don't know that you get too

329
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: much pushback from I guess you would from the players

330
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: union because they, you know, these young players who are

331
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: at the bottom of those rounds, they get to kind

332
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: of pick where they go, or at least when they

333
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: have choices, you know, when there's two or three teams,

334
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: they can pick the best team for them. But I

335
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: think that is more than offset murph by the fact

336
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: that the team invests a draft picking and they you know,

337
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: they want you to make their team. You know, they

338
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: want you to justify that pick. So there's you go

339
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: to a team that maybe not might not be the

340
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: best fit, but you're going to an organization that's already

341
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: invested in something for you, and there's gonna give you

342
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: a benefit of the doubt, you know what I mean.

343
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: So I think there's while there's give and take, a

344
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: give on the players as not being able to pick

345
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: their spot, there's also a take where you're getting a

346
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: team that really wants you to succeed. Yep, yep. We're

347
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: just going through some of the issues that went out

348
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL on a busy Easter weekend and John

349
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve Tasker, this is one Bills ive and

350
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: there's more believe it or not. Oh sad news from

351
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: the Bills. Tar Virus Jackson, who played a quarterback here.

352
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Didn't play in a game, but he was a quarterback here.

353
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Passed away in an auto accident over the weekend. Traded

354
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: to the Bills for a conditional seventh round pick in

355
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: August of twenty twelve. Third string quarterback for the Bills

356
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, and then resigned to a one year

357
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: deal in February twenty thirteen. Released in June to twenty thirteen.

358
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Before and after that, he spent time with Seattle Seahawks.

359
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: Didn't get to know him very well. But it's tragic Steve.

360
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: He passed away in a traffic accident. Where was that

361
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: There was somewhere down south where it's from Alabama. Yeah,

362
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: single car crash, eight fifty pm. He passed away on

363
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: Sunday and Pike ro And Alabama when his Camaro drifted

364
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: off the road, struck a tree and flipped. He was

365
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: a good guy and passed away over the weekend. He

366
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: was just thirty six years old when he died. All

367
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: too young. Yeah, thirty six years old, and yeah, it's

368
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: just say you know, I think I can be I'll

369
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: be okay living in my house and being quarantined in

370
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: my house when you got stuff like this going on,

371
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: and it's just, you know it, no matter how bad

372
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: you think he got it. When we make you know,

373
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: we made jokes about and stuff, man, tragedies like this

374
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: still happened and they're still you know, still hundreds of

375
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: people passing away in New York City from this virus

376
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: and stuff. So while we're kind of a distraction, and

377
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of people have told us that they

378
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: welcome the distraction, but let's not forget what's really important.

379
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: And Travers Jackson that you know, a young guy like that, man,

380
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: it is just tragic. It's just tragic. Just don't cheer.

381
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: Sound of my notes. Over the last weekend, what happened,

382
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: what else went on? Bill Belichick met with the media,

383
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: talk to them. He said he is able to adjust

384
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: to a new quarterback. He said, we did it with

385
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: mass Castle, We'll do it again this year. Sounds like

386
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: he's ready to go with what they have, which is

387
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: essentially Jared Stidham or Stidham or Brian Hoyer. Sounds like

388
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: that's all they're gonna go for. See. I don't know

389
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: for the time being. I'm sure it probably is. They

390
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: if they feel they can upgrade, you know, they will,

391
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: particularly if they do it at the right price. They

392
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: may wait it out, wait it out, wait it out,

393
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: and just signed one of the veterans out there, like

394
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: a Jameis Winston or Cam Newton to a one year

395
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: prove it deal. Let those guys come in and see

396
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: what they can do. They may still formulate a trade

397
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: with one of the teams out there. Who's that's a

398
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: possibility that's got a guy out there they like or

399
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: know about. I would. I'll just put it this way.

400
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: I think that the Patriots is gonna make a move

401
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: at quarterback at some point this offseason, whether it's signing

402
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: a free agent or making a trade. I think that

403
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: will happen. They may like Jared Stidham very much. Violet

404
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: thinks any question, they're gonna need another one, and who

405
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: that is gonna tell us a lot about what they

406
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: really think about Stidham and Poyer and those in the crew.

407
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: A couple of other notes stuff going on the broadcasting news.

408
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: Charles Davis, good friend of the show, we've had him

409
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: on several times, is hooked up with CBS. Now he

410
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: was on Fox, gonna do CBS games with Ian Eagle.

411
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: He replaces Dan Fouts. Charles Davis is good. He'll be

412
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: good on those broadcasts. Even I look forward to him,

413
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, making his trips to Buffalo during the season

414
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: calling AFC games. It'll be fine, absolutely, yeah, And I'm sorry.

415
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, Dan Fouts was the guy that whose place

416
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: he took when they you know, they're not going to

417
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: renew his contract. Founts. He was a great guy too.

418
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: I loved working with him. I worked with a number

419
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: of games with him as his sideline reporter for Westwood One,

420
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: doing a national radio broadcast for Monday night Sunday Night football.

421
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's so nature of the business. That's the

422
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: way it happens to it to everybody. But Dan Fouls

423
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: had a great run as an analyst for CBS, and

424
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure they appreciated all his efforts too, going down

425
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: the news, the list of news, and he's sick of

426
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: the shot. Steven, no keep going talking about great runs.

427
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: The XFL had a nice little run and the XFL

428
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: filed for bankruptcy, went out of business. Steven, is there

429
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: ever going to be a successful Spring Football League in America,

430
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: the XFL had a lot going for it, but they

431
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: could not survive the quarantine and the virus, right, I mean,

432
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: they had to cut out all of their you know,

433
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: half of their season and their playoffs. They were still

434
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: drawing a really good number on television, and not not

435
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: NFL type numbers, but certainly comparable to other pro sports,

436
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, this sickness crushed them right when

437
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: they know, right when they needed to kind of hang

438
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: in there and keep it going, they got crushed. And

439
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I thought that. Well, I don't know, I've

440
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: thought they were all going to work at one point,

441
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: and none of them have, so I'm thinking probably not, Murph.

442
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's ever gonna be a rival league

443
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: to the NFL, not even a rival league, even the

444
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: complimentary league or the AH. Of course that was you know,

445
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: we were all lied to about how that was worked,

446
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: how that was set up. But nevertheless, I don't know,

447
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I'm surprised. You couldn't expect them to survive

448
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: being shut down in the middle of their first year.

449
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: I guess, so that makes sense. I just don't. I mean,

450
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: I thought, look, and you're right, the Alliance of American

451
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: Football last year. Seemed to have a good business model,

452
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: seemed to know what they were doing. It had certainly

453
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: a big name people in charge. And they didn't survive

454
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: a whole season. The XFL didn't survive because of the coronavirus.

455
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if we'll ever get that.

456
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: Looking through my notes, what else so we missed? Oh

457
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: this game? I just noticed this today about coronavirus. State

458
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: of Florida has decided to call sports professional sports essential services.

459
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. They might be getting set

460
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: to a host perhaps a you know, part of a

461
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: baseball league. There's talk that Major League Baseball split up

462
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: between Arizona and Florida. There's been talked that the NFL

463
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: might have to play non fan attended stadium games. These

464
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: are all just you know, pie in the sky speculation now,

465
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: But maybe the state of Florida is setting itself up

466
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: for that. Let professional athletes work, whether they're baseball players,

467
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: football players, or whatever. I don't know. What do you think? Yeah,

468
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: maybe the landscape's ever changing and is changing fast and

469
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: some ways is changing gradually. And you know, for you

470
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: and me, our weekends are unchanging for the time being,

471
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean nothing, but you know, the landscape is gonna

472
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: change sooner or later. Yeah, And the difference is it's

473
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be like, Okay, now we're home from vacation,

474
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: let's go back to work. Here we go, everybody go

475
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: back to work. It's not gonna happen like that. It's

476
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: gonna happen one tiny step at a time, and we're

477
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: going to evolve out of this instead of having be

478
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: done with it. You know, we're not going to wash

479
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: our hands in just go back to work. So how

480
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: that happens, whether it's no fans at games, no fans

481
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: at events, or now gatherings of fifteen people are okay,

482
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean, so, or you can

483
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: now go to a place, but you can't have more

484
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: than fifteen people in one place at one time. That

485
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I don't know. But it's gonna be gradual.

486
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: And how it looks, I mean, we can speculate all

487
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: we want, but until we get there, we're not gonna know.

488
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: We're not gonna know, And it is speculation. That's on

489
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: my list. That's all my list of what went on

490
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: since we were last on the air. Thursday, Steve, you

491
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: got anything. You were having twins and yeah, yeah, I was, Yeah,

492
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: I was. Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like a

493
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: really wild weekend. I had a lot of free time.

494
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: You had a lot of free time, you know, A

495
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: couple of I went. You know, I'll tell you this though.

496
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: You know I worked for CBS for twenty twenty one seasons, right,

497
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: and every season CBS, you know how and one of

498
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: them they used to call them, and they still do.

499
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: I guess they call CBS the Tiffany Network. Yea. And

500
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: I love I love my time as CBS. Still love

501
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: those guys over there. It was an awesome company and

502
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: loved it was a privilege to work for him. But

503
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: every year CBS would send every guy on the air

504
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: would send us one of those blue or black blazers

505
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: with the CBS I jacking on right, the CBS eye

506
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: on it, and it was it's a uniform. You'll see

507
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: you watch the Masters and you show the in the

508
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: booth and stuff, and you'll see the guys with the

509
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: CBS blazer on the NFL games when they come on

510
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: pre game and a halftime. They got the blazer on, right. Yeah,

511
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: I've got twenty one of those, right, So I had

512
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: to go through. I went through my closet and gathered

513
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: them all up, you know, shook the dust off of them,

514
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 1: gathered them all up. So and I kind of went

515
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: through my close and kind of purged all you know this,

516
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I've got suits that are older

517
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: than my youngest son, right, who's a college senior. So

518
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, I had some stuff to get rid of.

519
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Nothing like you know, Charlie Chapplin old, but still so

520
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: I did that. That was one of the projects I

521
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: got too. You know, you couldn't do anything outside yesterday.

522
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: Yesterday it was a horrible day out. So I just

Speaker 1: I mean, I cleaned my desk. I mean I was

Speaker 1: I'm great, going crazy, find it stuff to do now.

525
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: And for a long time I wasn't doing anything. I

526
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: was enjoying the time, you know, but now I'm starting to, like, man,

00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: the Athletic dot com today about how are you really

566
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna miss seeing Roger Goodell booed every time he takes

567
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: the podium? Are you really gonna miss players coming up?

568
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: I hung in the commissioner. Are really gonna miss players

569
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: talking about what they're wearing and how they look and

570
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: being in the back room of the green room there

571
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: with your girlfriend and a couple of family members. I

572
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I miss any of that, Steve. I

573
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta admit, I'm way. I'm totally with you,

574
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think too though. You think about

575
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: all the stuff they show, and I'm asking by that,

576
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: what do I want to see? Yeah? You know what

577
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean? What do I really really want to see?

578
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: And I think most of it I want to see

579
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: for me. I don't care about the guys in the

580
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: green room. Those guys know they're gonna get drafted. You

581
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yep, I mean Aaron Rodgers was there.

582
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: He's there, you know he's gonna he knows he's gonna

583
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: get drafted. You don't think Joe Burrow knows he's gonna

584
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: get drafted. To a tag of Ilo is gonna get drafted.

585
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: All these good they all know. When I want to

586
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: know is when this guy when they get down to

587
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: the third round or fourth round, Like I was, Yeah,

588
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: some of these guys don't really know. They think they're

589
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted, but they don't. I want to see

590
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: that reaction because I'll tell you what, it's life changing

591
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of those It was life changing for me.

592
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: It was the com when it was a dream come true.

593
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean a literal dream come true. Not only for me, Murph.

594
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: But for me and my three older brothers and my

595
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: mom and dad, it was a huge moment. And that's

596
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: what I want to see. I want to see those

597
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: guys who don't even care what team they get drafted by,

598
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: and they get a call from somebody like the Buffalo

599
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: Bills or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Denver bront whatever,

600
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, son, you are now You're like

601
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: when I got drafted the guy who was hey you're

602
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: you're a Houston oiler and I I couldn't. Houston instantaneously

603
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: became my all time favorite team now and the same

604
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: with my family. That's what I want to see, and

605
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to do it because nobody knows

606
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: who's gonna get drafted, so he can't really have a

607
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: camera in the fifth round draft pick in Wyoming, you know,

608
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 1: or Idaho you don't. You don't have a camera out there.

609
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, that's what I want to see,

610
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: and I wish they had a way to do it.

611
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever get a chance to though,

612
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: you know what I look forward to as well, and

613
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe they got more time so they'll provide more. I'd

614
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: love draft strategy I'd like to know, you know, how

615
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: each pick one through fifty three impact through the Bills draft.

616
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: And it'd be great. Maybe that's our role, but it'd

617
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: be great if you had somebody to say, oh, they

618
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: picked him, that's a guy that Bills are interested in.

619
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo now has to go to this and you can

620
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: do that for all thirty two teams. Just how a

621
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: team's draft strategy is impacted by the picks that come

622
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: before it, how teams maneuver around the draft. I think

623
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: there's a real need. I guess this goes to see

624
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: in our Twitter responses. I want to see how teams

625
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: will execute remote setup. It will probably be a little

626
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: more difficult this year. It won't be open communication in

627
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: one draft room with the GM shouting out to his

628
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: scouting staff, who do we like? Who's that tackle we like?

629
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: It'll be more, you know, a phone thing, right, I

630
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: mean the way it's set up. And by the way,

631
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Brendan Bean is coming on the show of Us

632
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we'll ask him some of the stuff. He'll

633
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: have his home set up. They've got a mock draft

634
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: coming up this week. Brandon Bean will talk to him

635
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: a little bit about what his draft strategy is going

636
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: to be. But I just think I would like to

637
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: know more about draft strategy for each team, and I

638
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: think we'll get a chance. Look without all that fluff,

639
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: there's a chance to to get some of that. I think, Steve,

640
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: don't you really I agree with you because you think

641
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: about it. Some of these picks, particularly the up high

642
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: where some of those picks have been traded four times,

643
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like there's a mid round,

644
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: mid first round pick, like the Dolphins have got three

645
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: first round picks, It'll be really interesting to see they

646
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: got this pick from this team, by that team got

647
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: the pick from the other team. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,

648
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: so two years ago, the Cincinnati Bengals traded a pick

649
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: that turned into a Cincinnati too part of a Miami

650
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: first round pick that turned into this guy. Right. I mean,

651
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: it's really fun to track some of these picks and

652
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: how particularly the mid to late round picks that get

653
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: thrown in. You know, these picks are thrown into a

654
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: player deal. It'll be really interesting to see and also

655
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: to go back in time and say, Okay, they got

656
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: this player for that pick, or this player and a

657
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: pick for that pick. You know what I'm saying. And

658
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: then say, okay, now today, when we see this team

659
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: use this draft pick, how's that trade stand now? Like?

660
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: What does the trade like? Let me just stick a

661
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: stick a knife in your heart right here, Murph. What

662
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: does the Sammy Watkins trade up for the Bills now

663
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: look four years later? What are those three draft picks

664
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: the Bills gave away look like now in regards to

665
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: what Sammy Watkins has done in his career? You know

666
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yep, stuff like that. It's now time

667
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: to go back in time and know the full ramifications

668
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: of all these trades that you can't get your mind

669
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: around on the draft because there's too many picks involved,

670
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: and there's too many you know, years involved. But now

671
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: to go back and say, okay, here's here's what happened

672
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: on this day in two thousand and seventeen. Now this year,

673
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: all those picks are come to fruition, and here's what

674
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: that trade really meant. Yeah, and man, oh man, I

675
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: think there'd be some people who that would be pulling

676
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: their hair out of the way they got taken in

677
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: those days. And there's time to do it this year too.

678
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this you're gonna enjoy watching this

679
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: year's NFL draft in nine days, Why give us a call?

Speaker 1: to a science, how Steve. It's pretty easy, isn't there.

692
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: It's not rocket science, but I will say I would

693
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: say more of an art form than science. So yeah, yeah,

694
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: happy be with it, Happy to be talking Bills football,

695
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: and the talk will only heat up now nine days

696
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: away from the draft. Oh yeah, I know the Bills

697
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: don't have a first rounder, but I think the draft,

698
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: the draft is gonna be interesting. And we'll talk with

699
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: Dan Shanka of our lads guy did the NFL Draft

700
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. About that, Steve, that'll be good. Yeah,

701
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: And there's still a lot of ton of work to

702
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: be done. I wonder we're gonna ask him, Dan Shuk,

703
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: about how this has hurt his ability to scout these

704
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: guys most of I mean, certainly he may watch film

705
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: and do all that, but I'm probably he takes a

706
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: lot of reports from you know, sites around the country. Right,

707
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: Does he do it all himself? You know? Well? I

708
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: think they have, ay, I know, And we'll talk with

709
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: Dan about it. They have a team of scouts who

710
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: look at film pretty much all year long, go to

711
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: college games in the in the college football season, then

712
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: look at tape in the in the off season, and

713
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: I think they kind of compile their reports. But I'm

714
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: sure they consult with NFL teams, like who you like

715
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: and what are you thinking? I mean in this book?

716
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: Where is it here? I'm trying to do this not

717
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: spelling stuff. I'm want to spell my jelly beans. In

718
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: this book Our Lights Guide to the NFL Draft. They

719
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: have evaluations of more than three hundred players. They have

720
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: a team by team depth chart, which is really key,

721
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: a depth chart for every team in the league. They

722
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: have draft projection, you know who should go first round,

723
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: second round, they have school Index. It's an amazing I've

724
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: been a subscriber for years. Then they keep you in

725
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: the loop with stuff all year long. But this is

726
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: the book, this is the bible, the Guide to the Draft,

727
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: which just arrived in my mailbox, uh yesterday. I believe

728
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Guide to the NFL Draft our led scout.

729
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they kind of run it like they're their

730
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: own NFL team, I think. And we'll talk to Dan

731
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: Chunk about that at two in the meantime, give us

732
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: a call eight h three h five fifty toll free

733
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: one eight five fifty two five fifty filling this sentence

734
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,479
Speaker 1: and complete the sentence. I'll enjoy watching the NFL Draft

735
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: this year because why because A you need the distraction,

736
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: because B the networks will show the draft without all

737
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: the fluff that they normally have. Or is it C

738
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: you want to see how teams will execute remotely. Everybody's

739
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: going to be remotely this year. Let's get to the

740
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems, the

741
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Seth tweets this in man,

742
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: I always enjoyed the draft, but I feel like the

743
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: Bills are going to get two or three key contributors

744
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: this year. Really hoping for AJ Dillon to complement Motors.

745
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Should be interesting to see how the coverage looks to

746
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: AJ Dillon, the big running back from Boston College. By

747
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: the way, our lads has the Bills drafting a defensive

748
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: tackle in the first round, which I found interesting. Yeah,

749
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this though, what do you think

750
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: about this, Murphy, Because the intriguing team in this draft

751
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: is to me is the Miami Dolphins because they have

752
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: a needed quarterback and they have more than enough capital

753
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: to buy any pick in the draft they want, including

754
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: the number one pick if Cincinnati wants to deal it.

755
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: You know. Ye, That to me is a really intriguing team.

756
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: And and the Dolphins with the three picks in the

757
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: first round, Man, oh man, that's a lot. That's a

758
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: lot of capital in this draft. And I think and

759
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: we've seen a trend and I think it'll continue. You're

760
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: gonna see some teams in the top ten move round

761
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it will happen. And that

762
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: means the Dolphins and the teams around them at the top.

763
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: So I think that I you know, mock drafts are

764
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: fun and it's it's cool to think about. It gives

765
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: you a chance to go back and say, oh, they

766
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: think we're gonna pick this defensive tackle. Who is he?

767
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: You know, you're getting a chance to go see the guy.

768
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is it's about the

769
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: trades and the picks and two teams really really want

770
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: that they don't know that they're going to get and

771
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: what they're willing to do to get them. That's what

772
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: the draft is really all about. Our line says the

773
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Bills taking defensive tackle Ross Blaylock out of TCU with

774
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: their first pick. Second round. They have the Dolphins taking

775
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: two a Tagle Violoa in the first round with the

776
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: fifth overall pick, the Dolphins coming back at the eighteenth

777
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: overall pick for an offensive tackle, Austin Jackson of the

778
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: Southern col And they have the third Miami first round

779
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: pick way down at the twenty six, Xavier McKinney, safety

780
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: from Alabama. But who knows, right, they're just guessing it's

781
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: a mock draft. They're just very I mean, and it's

782
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: cool too, because you're right. They do have. I mean,

783
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: it's easy enough to go look at the depth charts

784
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: of you know, of the league and go down and say, yeah, Miami, yeah,

785
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: they need exactly what they're talking. They need a quarterback

786
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: and they would love to get some offensive tackles, you know,

787
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: some offensive linemen to protect the guy they've got right now,

788
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: Julian Davin to their left tackle. They got Eric Flowers

789
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: from the Giants, I believe. So the Dolphins are going

790
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: to go ahead and they probably do need have some

791
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: o line depth problems. So it's fun to go around

792
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: a cross reference this stuff and go back and forth

793
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: between the depth charts and you think of it. But

794
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: then again, you can see with so many moving parts

795
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: to the draft, and if you've got thirty two teams

796
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: each with twenty two players and a certain pool of

797
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: players they're all picking from, man oh man, the permutations

798
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: are impossible to get right. Go back to the tweet

799
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: sheet brought you by Corgan Moving Systems. The official movies

800
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. I'll be watching this year's draft

801
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: to be in the NFL because Tiffany says, for me,

802
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: it's about the young men fulfilling a dream having their

803
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: name called they have a feeling the league through technology

804
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: will still be able to make it a special moment

805
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: for all drafted players. I know our general manager will

806
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: make it happen under unique circumstances. Excited to see it. Yeah,

807
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: it'd be different, though, Steve, Right, we talk about this.

808
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: These players will get drafted and they'll have cameras. What

809
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: did they read dsbhim sending out like fifty camera setups

810
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: to the top plastic, So it takes you through a

811
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: round and a half. But still it won't be the same, right,

812
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it just won't be the same. Some guy

813
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: not to have them march up on the stage. That's

814
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: the moment that many of these But there's some ub

815
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: dreamed of. I'm telling you though, Murph. For me, and

816
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the get off my long guy.

817
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm totally okay with losing a lot of that stuff. Yeah,

818
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't you know, watch it and particularly

819
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: last year and I can't even remember where the draft

820
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: what Dallas wasn't last year? M Yes, all right, so

821
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: they're in Dallas last year and remember they'd call the

822
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: guy's name in the green room. There's like a four

823
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: mile walk through this maze for the guy to finally

824
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: get up on the stage, right, I mean it took

825
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: him forever to get You sit there watching this guy

826
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: walk gets a hat. Okay, that's you know. The highlight

827
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: is somebody handing him a free baseball cap. I don't

828
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: even see that, you know, it's just, you know, there's

829
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: just too much stuff if I don't care about. I

830
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: want to see what's the guy. I want to see

831
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: the guy's highlights, and I want to see why they

832
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play well? And that too, Why does

833
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: that team want him? What did they do last year?

834
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Why do they have him? You know, why are they

835
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: drafting him? And why do they feel like this guy's

836
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: gonna make whatever the Miami Dolphins a better team or

837
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals a better team. I want to know

838
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: why that is. And that's you know, that's what I

839
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: want to see. Scheme, fit, highlights, all that stuff. And

840
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: you know another thing too, Murph, who's he going to replace?

841
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Where's that? What happened to that guy? You know, all

842
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: that stuff is more interesting to me than seeing the

843
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: guy hugged Roger Goodell. I agree, and believe me. Between

844
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: ESPN and the joint work with NFL Network and more

845
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: than enough experts to immediately almost analyze the pick, how

846
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: the guy fits in, why they chose him, you know

847
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's the kind of thing i'd be

848
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: looking for. Yeah, how this guy fit into their plans

849
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: and how will they use him? Basically? Right, Yeah, yeah,

850
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: And that's It's kind of a weird thing. I've never

851
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: really thought about it before, but these guys all come

852
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: into the league, and guys are gonna get ejected out

853
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: of the league because of these new players coming in.

854
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Um it changes the landscape for a lot of guys.

855
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: And as happy as one guy is to get drafted

856
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: by that team, there's another guy who's gonna lose his

857
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: job because of it. Yep, all right, we got a break.

858
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: We're back with more on One Bill's Live, presented by

859
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: Klaida Health. Steve's at home. I'm at home. This is

860
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Ready. Welcome back, One Bill Drive, John Murphy,

861
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. We're coming to you from our homes again today.

862
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: Steve the tweet sheet and answered to our question about

863
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: the draft. What are you looking forward to in the draft?

864
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: Let me let me know what people have said. What

865
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: do you got in your tweets from sipping the kool Lady,

866
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: he says, I'm intrigued to see how the board falls

867
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: and just how Bean attacks this year's draft. Not having

868
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 1: glaring holes in the starting roster like in past years,

869
00:42:55,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: it should prove to be more than interesting for me. Strategies.

870
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: What you said, Murphy, you're talking about draft strategy. And

871
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: of course we've talked a lot about this offseason about

872
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: how this is a different year for Brandon Being and

873
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. They're not trying to rebuild one side of

874
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: the football or tear down the roster or get their

875
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: financial house in order. They're literally trying to fill in

876
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: and just top off their roster with some guys that

877
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: contribute in key spots. They've got enough talent on the

878
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: roster now to start the season and go and but

879
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: you know what they're really looking to do with some

880
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: unexpected help, maybe from a backup running back, or from

881
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle or an offensive lineman, or from edge

882
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: rusher or defensive tackle, or just somebody who jumps off

883
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: the board that athletically can give them a boost. You know.

884
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: So it is a different year for Brandon Being and

885
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and you know he sipping the kool. Ai

886
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: refers to that and his tweets said, you know, I

887
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: just want to see who they can get and how

888
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: the strategy will work. So that's pretty interesting. Also, this

889
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: would probably be a good Twitter pall between now and

890
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: next Thursday if the Bills were to get a starter

891
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: this year out of this year's draft. In other words,

892
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: somebody get fifty four or maybe third rounder or later

893
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: in the draft, at what position would that come? I

894
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: can see an offensive line starter, can't you? Yeah, won't

895
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: most likely? Yeah, Or I could see him. I could

896
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: see it be in a corner, you know, if if

897
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: they got a guy at fifty four and you know

898
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, E. J. Gaines, doesn't you know, play as

899
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: well as his kid or the young kids got too

900
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: much potential and he's just too good athletically to get

901
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: keep off the field. I could see that happening too,

902
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: you know. Other than that, Yeah, I mean that's that's hard.

903
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it would happen anyplace else. Sounds like

904
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll. Yeah, what was your other tweet? Sat?

905
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: What did you have from? Kylie says, I want to

906
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: see how teams actually execute the remote set up. This

907
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: is a huge change for everyone not being in the

908
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: draft room and instead being on a zoom call. I

909
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: wonder how well this will work out and maybe be

910
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: an advanced addition or option to the draft in future years. Yeah,

911
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: certainly desperate. You know, you've you referred to that book

912
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot, Murph the Genius of Desperation. Yeah,

913
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we're at with the draft, right.

914
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're desperate to get as much as you

915
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: can and filter as much as you can through your

916
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: little portal in the technology, you know, into the internet

917
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: to get to your gm M or the GM vice versa.

918
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: Desperate people come up with desperate solutions that are crazy

919
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: and hairbrained, but a lot of times they are innovative

920
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: and kind of sheer genius in the way they work. Yeah,

921
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: I've read that NFL teams are playing in the league

922
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: really is planning on having a separate line like a

923
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: phone line connection all thirty two teams for trades. Trades

924
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: would be difficult, you know, trades would be difficult with

925
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: the information they has to be passed back and forth

926
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: in a timely fashion. I mean, you you know you're

927
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: not how much. Oh yeah, twelve minutes between picks in

928
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: the first round. Trades to be difficult to get all

929
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: that information going back and forth to get confirmation from

930
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: the league. And they set up a different full line.

931
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: But that maybe that will mean fewer trades during the

932
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: draft this year. I don't know. You know, it almost

933
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: seems like you need like one of the old bell

934
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: operators to be in there. And she goes, I have

935
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: a call from Cincinnati. Yes, to Cincinnati and Detroit. Let's

936
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, conference those calls in and you know you're

937
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: now in the with vice president of trades, you know,

938
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: and get those calls conference stand with a switch old switchboard.

939
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: But that's what it'll take, right, both teams getting on

940
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: the line with the and I don't it won't be

941
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell doing that. Well, it'll be some whoever vice press.

942
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: It might be Troy Vincent or whoever, some you know

943
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: person is who does the trades and finalizes them. He'll say, yeah, okay,

944
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: I got it on both ends. Yes, I got it. Okay,

945
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: that deal is done. You're in Cincinnati. You're now on

946
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: the clock, not Miami, right yeah, And then then they

947
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: then the guy picks up the phone, says, Hey, Roger,

948
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: here's what happened. You know. That's that really is to

949
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: me the scariest part about the whole shooting match. There's

950
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: a couple of tricky things. We'll talk with Trey Wingo

951
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: about him when we return. Train is gonna host the

952
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: NFL Draft coverage on ESPN and NFL Network next week.

953
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: He's also currently the host of Golikin Wingo on ESPRAN

954
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: Radio and ESPN two. Trey Wingo when we return One

955
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: Hour of the Books two to come stick around. One

956
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health Radio only from our homes.

957
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio, Hills Radio Network, Sports Update

958
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: MP dates from One Bills Live. It looks like the

959
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals are gonna keep that number one draft pick,

960
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, Bengals coach, told The Dan Patrick Show to

961
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: yesterday he does not see a scenario where Cincinnati would

962
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: trade away the top pick. Doesn't look that way, he said.

963
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: They've been brief clusters. Is speculation that teams like the

964
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins with three first rounders, put off the Bengals

965
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: of package that would be in exchange for Joe Burrow

966
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: Bengals coach kind of threw cold water on that. Burrow

967
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: understands that they'll be tast to overcome whether he will

968
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: be tasked to overcome when he comes into the league.

969
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: During a radio interview today, the Harmer LSU quarterback I've

970
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: projected number one fix posessed about playing for a franchise

971
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: that has not had recent success. Whatever team I go to,

972
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: Burrow said, it's going to be a challenge to begin in.

973
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: The Bengals haven't made the playoffs since twenty fifteen, and

974
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: they won just two games last year. They went two

975
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: and fourteen. The Carolina Panther has made Christian McCaffrey at

976
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: the highest paid running back in NFL history. Yesterday signed

977
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: a four year extension averaging sixteen million dollars per year.

978
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott had been the league's highest

979
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: paid running back at fifteen million dollars a year. The

980
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: NFL and the NFL Players Association has finalized plans for

981
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: modified offseason workout rules to govern it the off season.

982
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: It'll start next Monday, including for the Buffalo Bills. The

983
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: rules state no team is required to participate in a

984
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: virtual period, which is defined his running from April twentieth

985
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: to May fifteen. Former Lions defensive tackle Snack Harrison says

986
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: he didn't want to play in Detroit. Said he was

987
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: helped bent on getting out of the Motor City. Lions

988
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: traded for him a couple of years ago in October

989
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: sent a fifth round pick to the Giants. He said

990
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: he was angry and was looking to move on on

991
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: the veteran defensive lineman as a free agent. The National

992
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: Hockeyeas has extended itself quarantine recommendation for players and staff

993
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: to April thirtieth, the third such extension, and the Tour

00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: de France has been postponed after weeks of holding out

995
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: hope the Tour would be able to go ahead. His plan,

996
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: the world's most famous secting race was added to the

1005
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: to have our old buddy Tray Wingo on the line. Hello, Tredy,

1006
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: thanks coming, I'm with us today. Oh Murph Tasker, how

1007
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: are you guys? Great to see you guys. Great, We

1008
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: miss you. We don't talk you on a weekly basis anymore.

1009
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: That was fun when we had you on there. We

1010
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 1: should do that more often. I'm all about it. Let's

1011
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: do Congratulations on being the host of the esp and

1012
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: NFL Network coverage. What you know, what was the biggest

1013
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: surprise for you when you started to kind of get

1014
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 1: your mind around what's going to happen and what work

1015
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: have you guys already done? Thanks? You know, for me,

1016
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: nothing is really gonna change. I mean, I've been doing

1017
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: our coverage since all three days since Philly in twenty seventeen.

1018
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: But obviously, with circumstances with the NFL Network, we're just

1019
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: incorporating a lot of those guys into our broadcast for

1020
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: this year. And I'm quite frankly thrilled because so many

1021
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: of those guys. You guys know how incestuous this business is.

1022
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean, half the guys at an NFL nottework used

1023
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: to work here. Half our guys here used to work there.

1024
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we sort of all go back and forth.

1025
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: For example, Daniel Jeremiah used to sit in our NFL

1026
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: meetings when he was working with Chris Mortenson helping get

1027
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: things going, and Rich used to work here, and Michael

1028
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: used to work here. And I've known Kurt Warner forever.

1029
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: So for me, it's just doing the same thing, just

1030
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: having more things at our disposal, and I think that's

1031
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: going to make the draft so much fun this year.

1032
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: What do you think will be different for viewers? Trey?

1033
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: Certainly we know there won't be handshakes with the commissioners

1034
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: and walking out on stage, But what do you think

1035
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: viewers will see or maybe won't see this year in

1036
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: the draft? Yeah, the simplest answer to that question is

1037
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: what's going to be different for the viewers everything? Just

1038
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: to put it in perspective, like last year in Nashville,

1039
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: we had over six hundred and fifty thousand people downtown

1040
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: at the end of Broadway, a little arrey called rock

1041
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: Bottom over three days and it was nuts and it

1042
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: was great. And you know, the year before that, we

1043
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: had over three hundred thousand and doallusand the year before

1044
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: that we had over two hundred thousand in Philadelphia, So

1045
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: that part of it is going to be completely different.

1046
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, just the logistics of it. I'm gonna be

1047
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: by myself in the studio tossing to Roger Goodell in

1048
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: his basement in Westchester making the picts, and then Lewis

1049
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: and Booger McFarland and mel kiper Junior. We'll all be

1050
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: on a remote and we'll bring in Daniel Jeremiah from

1051
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: his home and Michael Irvin and Kurt Warner. I mean,

1052
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: it is going to be it's going to be a

1053
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: tribute to modern technology than everything else, and I think

1054
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the biggest challenge. And just understanding as

1055
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: we're all doing this now, I'm gonna look at the

1056
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: way you're doing your show here. It's just a different reality.

1057
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: And the draft is always a mess, right, It's always

1058
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of bumpy and crazy and fun, and this is

1059
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: just gonna be another way. It's gonna be bumpy, crazy

1060
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: and fun. How or who's gonna technical direct then? I mean,

1061
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna have fifty cameras at different locations, are you

1062
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: just gonna let let the software do it, and just

1063
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: whoever's talking the loudest gets the screen. Yeah, how about this, Steve.

1064
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: Suddenly the most important person on every NFL team is

1065
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: their IT guy. Yeah, this is the general manager, more

1066
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: than the VP of player personnel, more than the scouts,

1067
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: more than the head coach. Am I connected? Can I

1068
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: get these things in? Look, it's gonna be crazy, right.

1069
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: All thirty two teams have at least four or five

1070
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: remote situations for them. We have cameras with fifty eight

1071
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: players set up remotely wherever they're going to be to

1072
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: get their reactions when they're drafted. We have our people,

1073
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: Susie Colbert is going to be remotely doing interviews of

1074
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: for us. I mean this is a tribute to technology.

1075
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: Like ten years ago, this would not have been possible.

1076
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: I would have all been on landlines, have been you know,

1077
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: full screen graphics and phones. But with Zoom and all

1078
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: the other apps that we have and Skype and everything else,

1079
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the way this is gonna be because

1080
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: it's the way it has to be this year. With

1081
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: Trey Wingo, the host of Goal I Can Wingo on ESPN,

1082
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: the host of Draft coverage next week. Tray, Steve and

1083
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: I were talking over the first hour about this this

1084
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: new way to cover the Draft. Some viewers, I think

1085
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: Steve and I would fall into this category, might like

1086
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: it without all the pluf and you know, the red

1087
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: carpet arrivals and the suits the players are wearing, and

1088
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: the and the green room shots. And even though Huggins

1089
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: of the commissioner, it might be more football oriented, huh

1090
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: you see that happening? Maybe, well, yeah, absolutely, but it's funny.

1091
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: Like from the NFL's perspective, outside of the super Bowl,

1092
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: the biggest fan engagement event they host is the Draft.

1093
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, a couple of years ago in Dallas, I

1094
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: was walking out to the from our hotel to get

1095
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 1: to the set and I met three people from Scotland

1096
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: who had flown in. They were deciding whether or not

1097
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: they wanted to come to the super Bowl the Draft.

1098
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: They flew in from Scotland just to hang out at

1099
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: part of the Draft. And I mean, the weird I know,

1100
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: that's nuts, but the weird thing about it is like,

1101
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: for example, the super Bowl is really a one day event.

1102
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you get there one or two nights beforehand,

1103
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: but when you do the draft, you can sort of

1104
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: have this three day experience and sort of spread it

1105
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: out a little more. So that's where the sort of

1106
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: draft has become. I'll there forget sitting next to Roger

1107
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: the Commissioner before the twenty seventeen Draft in philadelph because

1108
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: the last two years we've been at Chicago and the

1109
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: first couple rounds have been indoors, and then day three

1110
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: was outdoors, and Philly was the first year decided to

1111
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: do everything outdoors, and we were all so curious about

1112
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: how it was going to work set up at the

1113
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Art Museum there, and as the crowd started swelling

1114
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: in to have over one hundred thousand people down there

1115
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: for Thursday night, Roger looked at me and said, Trey,

1116
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: I think we've outgrown indoor events forever. You know. He

1117
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: sort of was right. Now. Obviously, it's completely different this year,

1118
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: and we were supposed to be in Las Vegas and

1119
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: we're actually gonna have shots of the strip in Las

1120
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: Vegas as part of the telecast. But I think that

1121
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: the NFL would love to your point, it will be

1122
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: more football centric, Murph. But I think as far as

1123
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: an event, the NFL would would is looking forward to

1124
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 1: getting back to what it has been the last couple

1125
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: of years. Yeah, and there's no question. Murph and I

1126
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: were looking at each other sideways, going, man, how big

1127
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 1: was it gonna be in Vegas? You're talking about boats

1128
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: and moats and you know, we're being ferry to us

1129
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: and they show girls and oh yeah, you know, I mean,

1130
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: goodness great, it was. Really it was gonna be a

1131
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the biggest spectacle of any maybe even

1132
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. I mean it was, it was gonna be enormous.

1133
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: It was. Look it was. I was the joke we said,

1134
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: last year is last year we were in nash Vegas.

1135
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: We're going to top it by going to Las Vegas

1136
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: this year. So uh yeah. It's interesting what they're gonna

1137
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: do because Cleveland has promised next year, and then there's

1138
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: an empty year, and then there's Arrowhead. So I think

1139
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: my guess is Vegas would probably get the year that's empty,

1140
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: which would be twenty twenty two, and it's going to

1141
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: be an arrowhead in twenty twenty three. That's just speculation,

1142
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: but so much was invested by the NFL in Las

1143
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: Vegas and the city of Las Vegas and putting this

1144
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: thing together that I would have to believe there's gonna

1145
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: be a make good or a mulligan there for them.

1146
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: But trade le from ESPN Hey trade. The league is

1147
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: putting together plans to host a what they're calling a

1148
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: draft a thon to benefit COVID nineteen relief efforts. Do

1149
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: you know much about that and how that might work

1150
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: next week? I don't have a ton of details, but

1151
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: I know that rich Eisen is going to be heavily

1152
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: involved in that. And listen, we're all in this because

1153
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: of that. And it's I think it's a really good

1154
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: idea that the NFL is taking this sort of opportunity

1155
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: to use a showcase event and make sure we understand

1156
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: because you know, there's been a lot of people, I

1157
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: don't say a lot of people. There have been some

1158
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: people wondering, how are you going to do this? With

1159
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: this going on across the world. And I was especially

1160
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: in this country right now, and I was curious what

1161
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: the reaction was going to be. Was there going to

1162
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 1: be a lot of blowback for the NFL going forward

1163
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: with free agency and seeing these players signing all these

1164
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: deals and everything else going on, with so many people

1165
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: struggling with the economic as well as the health fallout

1166
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: of the coronavirus pandemic. And I think people are just

1167
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: thirsty for something, you know. I think they're just looking

1168
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: for something. Like the only thing I can equate this

1169
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: too from a sports perspective was nine to eleven. How

1170
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: everything gets shut down after nine to eleven, And then

1171
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: it was sporting events that sort of helped us make

1172
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: us feel like things were okay again. The first game

1173
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: in New York between the Braves and the Mets of

1174
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: the World Series. After that and after a week off,

1175
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: the NFL resuming and it was like, Okay, okay, things

1176
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be all right. They're gonna be back together again.

1177
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: And we just don't have that right now because of obviously,

1178
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: the thing that sports does is it brings so many

1179
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: people together in an enclosed arena, and that's what we're

1180
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: trying to avoid. So that's what's made this difficult. I

1181
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: think people would love to have something to hang onto,

1182
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: and I think the NFL is gonna be proven that

1183
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: it was okay to do this when this was going on,

1184
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: because people are just looking for something, an outlet to

1185
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: get away from the thing that is everywhere right there.

1186
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: You can't get around it, no matter whether you're going

1187
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: to the grocery store and wearing a mask or turning

1188
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: on the TV and listening to news. It'll, I think,

1189
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: for three days. It's going to give people a chance

1190
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: to just go, oh, let's talk about this now, right,

1191
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: And I agree with it is going to be a

1192
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: welcome distraction, but the fun of it is and I

1193
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: don't want to you know, this is my favorite question

1194
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: these days. All right, so everything's coming along, okay, Trey Wingo,

1195
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: you're the host. What is the absolute worst case scenario?

1196
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: Is it like, is it a botched trade where the

1197
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: phone goes down before they can finalize it? Is it?

1198
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: Is it a power outage? Is it a massive miscommunication

1199
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: where we thought, hey said this, we thought that the

1200
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: phone went down? Is it? You know what? What's the

1201
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: you know this could go bad? Right? I guess I

1202
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: would answer that question and you would be astutely aware

1203
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: of this. The thing that we're not planning for table

1204
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty seven, Steve Than, things did not go

1205
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: as planned that day when the power went out of

1206
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: the Superdome, and you guys did a great job adjusting,

1207
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: and you in particular were tremendous in that. So, I mean,

1208
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's the that's the thing that I guess

1209
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: would be the worst case scenario, But that happens every

1210
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: year of the draft. People forget in two thousand and three,

1211
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings didn't get their picking on time and they

1212
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: were passed over in the first round and they had

1213
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: to scramble to get their picking on time before the

1214
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: next team jumped in to get ahead of them. Then

1215
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: we had the second year in Chicago. We're right before

1216
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsil is gonna be picked. Uh, some agent or

1217
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,959
Speaker 1: pseudo agent posted video from smoking weed and a gas mask.

1218
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, but it is always sort of a train wreck,

1219
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, he is. That's sort

1220
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: of the appeal of the thing. So yeah, I mean,

1221
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's the worst case scenario. But it's also

1222
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: like all right, strap end, boys, because here we go.

1223
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Do you know how competitive it these NFL teams are? Tree,

1224
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Is there any opportunity for a really smart, really technologically

1225
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: advanced team to sort of take advantage of the way

1226
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: things will be next week? What do you think? Well,

1227
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting because we had a big pre draft meeting

1228
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: last week and one of the people that was on

1229
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: the call was basically saying, the NFL is telling is

1230
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: into all uber competitive guys, right, yeah, what's going on.

1231
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: You're trying to win. And we had one person that

1232
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: was saying, the NFL is telling these guys don't try

1233
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: and gain the system because if you get caught, we

1234
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: will come down hard on you, because again it's supposed

1235
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: to be only one person in every facility, and we

1236
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: don't want and this was the example they brought up.

1237
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: We don't want to find out that later on the

1238
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: owner was downstairs and the general manager was hiding out

1239
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: at his bathroom upstairs. Information to it right. Literally, that

1240
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: was one of the scenarios that was discussed, and like,

1241
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: don't do this. So I think two things. One I

1242
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: think they're trying to nip that in the bud and

1243
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: the other thing, and they've said this, they're going to

1244
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: be a little more lenient for technical difficulties because if

1245
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: a trade or something doesn't come in exactly in on time,

1246
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 1: normally in the past it would be like fine, moving

1247
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: on to the next team. There's going to be a

1248
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: little more wiggle room. And I think that one of

1249
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the sort of safety nets they're taking along these lines,

1250
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,479
Speaker 1: is that, along with everything else that's going on, there's

1251
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: going to be one dedicated line for all thirty two

1252
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: teams the entire time on the draft, like a conference call.

1253
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: So if they can say, hey, we're having a technical

1254
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: difficulty here, this is what we're trying to work out,

1255
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: bear with us, that's a failsafe. What my question is this,

1256
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: And I know they're not calling Roger Goodell himself, who

1257
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 1: at the League office is in charge? I mean, they've

1258
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: got a war room in the League office just that

1259
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: would rival any of the teams, if not more so,

1260
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: who's at the League office saying Okay, we've got a

1261
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: trade and I'm and they're going to execute the trade

1262
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: for the teams and then let Roger know that kind

1263
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: of thing of what the You know that usually is

1264
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: done behind the scenes by executives and officers in the

1265
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: league who astably aren't able to be together either. So

1266
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: what's the logistical way that works and where are those

1267
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: people going to be and how their phone lines work?

1268
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: You know, that's a great question. I'm assuming it's going

1269
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: to be very similar as everyone else. I don't have

1270
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: any more information about that, but much to your point,

1271
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: those are always people behind the scenes that you weren't

1272
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: that weren't seeing anyway, And I think in some virtual

1273
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: way that's going to be the same scenario. I just

1274
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: don't know how that's all going to play off, Right

1275
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Live a Trade Wingo, host of Golik and Wingo on

1276
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio ESPN two. You'll be hosting NFL Draft coverage

1277
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: next weekend, Trey. We've been Steve, and I've said a

1278
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: couple of times, this might not be a bad year

1279
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: for the Bills not to have a first rounder with

1280
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: all the uncertainty about the draft. In fact, they might

1281
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: be a little bit more comfortable waiting until pick number

1282
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: fifty four to select with their purse pick. What do

1283
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: you think of that scenario? Yeah, you know, I mean, basically,

1284
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: you have to think of yourself as as Stefan Diggs

1285
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: as our first round pick. Much in the same A

1286
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, the Dallas Cowboys traded away a

1287
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: first round pick to get him Maara Cooper, and it

1288
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: certainly helped their offense. Since that time, they've been the

1289
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: best third down offense in football. And they finally got him.

1290
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Resigned to that big deal as they wait and try

1291
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: to get the Dak Prescott deal done. But that's if

1292
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: you're the Bills. You have to say, Stefen Diggs is

1293
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: our first round pick and he's in his mid twenties

1294
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: or twenty six twenty seven years old. You've seen him

1295
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: be explosive to me for the Bills, Like, this is

1296
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: a big year for Josh Allen, right, I mean it's

1297
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: your number three. You have what I think is a

1298
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: really good tight end of Dawson Knox. You have Cole

1299
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Beasley who can catch things over the middle. You have

1300
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: two guys that can burn the lid off the top

1301
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: of the defense, and Allan John Brown and Stefan Diggs.

1302
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: So this is the year for Josh Allen to make

1303
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: the quantum leap. Look, he played much better last year

1304
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: and obviously got them into the and was great until

1305
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: the second half of that game when Haywire a little

1306
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: bit in the fourth quarter there. But this is the

1307
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: year for Josh to be everything they wanted him to be,

1308
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: and they're providing him with a lot of those weapons

1309
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: around him now for that to happen. Yeah, it seems

1310
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: that Gutta roster put together this really strong and particularly

1311
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: their defensive side of the ball. They were top three

1312
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: defense last year, and they've replaced Check Lawson and Jordan

1313
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Phillips with some quality guys that are coming in. But really,

1314
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: and I agree with you from the outside looking in

1315
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: and even from the inside looking out, this season once

1316
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: again is about a young quarterback developing and how far

1317
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: he can take them. This team goes as far as

1318
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will take them. I agree, And he's funny.

1319
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this a lot on our show

1320
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: this morning. I wonder what it's like for teams in

1321
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: the afcast right now, knowing that you know, Voldemort has

1322
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: left the building, right, I mean, for lack of a

1323
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: better term, you know Darth Vader, you know who could

1324
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: always hold up the division and just choked up with

1325
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: his hand there. I mean, give me a sense of

1326
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: like what the Bills fans are thinking. I mean, literally,

1327
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: let's be honest, this has been the Patriots division. If

1328
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: they're not owning it, they're leasing with an option to buy.

1329
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: And they still may be very good, but half the

1330
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: reason they've been very good for all those years is

1331
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: now wearing an eyepatch and swinging a sword in Tampa Bay. So,

1332
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean, what has been the reaction like in Buffalo

1333
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: about oh thank God, Like is it like we finally

1334
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: realistically have a chance now more than ever. Well, Murf

1335
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: and I are at different ends of the spectrum. I'm

1336
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: pretty sure that Bill Belichick is not in the fetal

1337
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: position in a dark closet wishing for it all to

1338
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: go away, and Murf is more on the lines of

1339
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: thinking that Tom Brady was the be all, end all

1340
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: of the reason they were successful for all those years,

1341
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: and so somewhere in the middle is probably the truth.

1342
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking that the Patriots aren't going anywhere and

1343
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady will probably make the PA the Box a

1344
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: playoff team. Yeah. You know, it's interesting because Buffalo played

1345
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots last year two games as well as they

1346
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: could have played them. They didn't find a way to

1347
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: win in either of those games, but they played them

1348
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: as I mean, those were one possession, one score games

1349
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and they were really two vastly different games,

1350
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: right because in the game in New England, late Josh

1351
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: Allen came up with two ridiculous plays and there was

1352
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: not much in between. And in the first game, Man

1353
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense just beat up those guys and it

1354
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: was a special team's play more than anything else that

1355
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: really turned the tide in that game early on. So

1356
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, I just I'm not counting out the Patriots

1357
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, but it has to

1358
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: feel a little different in sense like at least we

1359
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: feel like there's more of an opportunity to make that

1360
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: next step though, Live with Trey Wingo a couple of

1361
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: minutes left with Trey. He's with the ESPN, been with

1362
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: him for Lon since nineteen ninety seven. Hey, Trey around

1363
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. Just your thoughts on the Patriots and what

1364
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: they do without Tom Brady? Are they really gonna go

1365
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: with Jared Stidham or Hoyer? Is their guy? Well? It's interesting,

1366
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: right because a lot of people said, how could they

1367
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: let this happen? And how could they not have a plan?

1368
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: And my reaction has been, why do you think they

1369
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: don't have a plan? I mean, as soon as Brady

1370
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: went into the season without a contract, and he said

1371
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: it when he was on Howard Stern, by the way,

1372
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: a sentence I never would have heard when New England.

1373
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I got Brady on Howard Sterne show, experiencing his best

1374
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: life right now and everything's completely differently. You know, as

1375
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: soon as they started the season without a contract, I

1376
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, they're both planning to potentially go their

1377
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: own separate ways. And if that's the case, then you

1378
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: have to believe that the Patriots believed in what they

1379
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: had because they had no idea about who was going

1380
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: to be available and who was going to be there

1381
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: for him, So on some level they had to believe

1382
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: that Jared Stidham is going to be that guy. Now, dude,

1383
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 1: is that right? I had no idea, but I think

1384
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: that's the plan going in and whatever's going to happen

1385
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: after that would be the second part of this plan.

1386
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: But I think the first part of this plan has

1387
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: always been all right. We drafted stid him in the

1388
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: fourth round for a reason. Lewis Verdi was sitting right

1389
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: next to me when they drafted him last year. He

1390
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: loved that pick then, and I think that he's going

1391
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: to be the guy going so forward. Yeah, it's interesting

1392
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 1: too because I'm kind of I was completely wrong about

1393
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I knew that he didn't have a contract,

1394
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: but I knew that there were strong personal relationships at

1395
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: work at the top of New England with Robert Krafft,

1396
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, and I just thought there's

1397
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,879
Speaker 1: just no way they wouldn't work it out. And then ultimately,

1398
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: obviously it did not work out. And so me, if

1399
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm wrong again, I really think that they've got a

1400
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: plan that may or may not include Jared sid him.

1401
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: I certainly think they're going to sign another quarterback. There's

1402
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: no question who that is is really going to tell

1403
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: us everything. If it's one of the free agents, like

1404
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: if it's a one year prove a deal with Cam

1405
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Newton or Jamis Winston or if they draft a kid,

1406
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: or if they sign Billy Bag of Donuts, that'll tell

1407
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: us everything we know one way or the other. Everything

1408
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: we need to know one way or the other. Kind

1409
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: of got Billy bag of Donuts? Right, that's true. No,

1410
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: but I've seen this play five times, you know. Right.

1411
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,600
Speaker 1: The thing that's really interesting to me, there's two like

1412
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: crazy scenarios. Right, let's go crazy, like Jamis Winston would

1413
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 1: be crazy scenario. John Brady goes down there, and suddenly

1414
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is the one guy that makes Damis Winson

1415
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 1: turnover a verse because I mean, let's be honest, I mean,

1416
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: outside of that he's everything else you want, but he

1417
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: can't stop doing that. And it's not just the thirty

1418
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: thirty year And I get people are trying to defend

1419
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: him and God bless him, and you know, Chris, God

1420
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: would have had been wonderful saying all the right things

1421
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: about him. But it was just last year. Jameis Winston

1422
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: would probably still be a Tampa Bay buccaneer. Since he

1423
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: came into the league. No one has more turnovers than

1424
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: there's one hundred and eleven I think it is, and

1425
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: he's got twenty plus more than anybody. So it's not

1426
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: just last year. It's a five year window of him

1427
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: not understanding that ball security is paramount to success in

1428
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. So it would be the most Belichickian thing

1429
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 1: ever if he would end up being there. I have

1430
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: no idea if that's going to happen, but you're right,

1431
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 1: they're definitely going to sign another guy. It's not just

1432
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna be Stidhamon lawyer. I'll say this though, if Jameis

1433
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: Winston goes to New England and they win twelve games,

1434
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I will, you know, I may just it'll change me forever. Well.

1435
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: The thing where I have faith in Bill and like

1436
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: the year that Tom served his four game suspension. They

1437
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: were gonna go with Jimmy and he got hurt in

1438
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the third game against Miami, so they had to play

1439
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: that fourth game, which was a Thursday night game with

1440
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette. And what I'll never forget about that game

1441
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: is that Jimmy got hurt in the second half of

1442
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: that game in Miami. On Sunday. They had a home

1443
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: game that Thursday. In three days, they changed the entire office.

1444
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the most check game of all time.

1445
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: In fact, I think in that game they had more

1446
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: design quarterback runs with Jacoby Brissette than they had I

1447
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: think in the last six or seven years, or maybe

1448
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: even more than that with Tom Brady under the helm.

1449
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: To me, that is the most Bill Belichickian thing of

1450
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: all time. He's the AMIBA coach, right. He doesn't say

1451
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: this is my system. He says, what players do I have,

1452
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: and I'm going to make them the most comfortable. And

1453
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: that was to me, the best example of it. And

1454
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: they won that game. Hey, Dade Blessing I have for you.

1455
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask you whether the NFL will play.

1456
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: Nobody knows any answer, but of all the major sports.

1457
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: It's difficult to envision an NFL season without fans, isn't it.

1458
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: I mean, of all the major sports, I'm talking about

1459
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: the top four. The fantasy to play the biggest role

1460
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL more than any other. I just can't

1461
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: imagine what they would look like they have a studio sport,

1462
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: not have fans there. What do you think, Well, it's interesting, right,

1463
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: because I think from a logistics standpoint that football is

1464
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: going to be the most difficult because it has the

1465
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: most people on the roster, especially college football. You know,

1466
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: you're talking about ninety kids and then support staff and

1467
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: coach and all that kind of stuff, and training. With

1468
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, you're talking fifty fifty three players, You're right.

1469
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:17,480
Speaker 1: I like Buffalo is an outlier because the Bill's experience

1470
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: at the game is one of the best in the league.

1471
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: But the other the actual watching of the game sometimes

1472
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 1: more enjoyable than being at the game. The Buffalo is different.

1473
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: But you look at a lot of stadiums around the

1474
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: NFL midway through the regular season, and sometimes those I

1475
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: mean the seats are sold, but they're not filled. The

1476
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: NFL has has created the perfect television sport, and yet

1477
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: really bizarre to have a completely empty spot the way

1478
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: so many people consume the NFL right now. I mean

1479
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: every Sunday, if you're not at a game, you're sitting

1480
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 1: there with the red zone on, plus your favorite team

1481
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: and Twitter open, having an change with everybody about what

1482
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: you're seeing. And the NFL has quite frankly perfected that

1483
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,560
Speaker 1: experience over the last five or six years. So what

1484
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: if you bizarre? Absolutely, but would it be completely out

1485
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: of the realm of I don't like it. I don't

1486
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: think so. I think people. I mean, the HD experience

1487
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: of an NFL game is so far beyond sometimes what

1488
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: you're able to see outside of the communal experience of

1489
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 1: the fans in the stands celebrating it. Yeah, hey, Tray,

1490
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: thanks for this great catching every year. To stay healthy

1491
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: and we'll talk again sometime. Thank you very much. Thanks Trey.

1495
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 1: He's met with the ESPN since nineteen ninety seven. I

1496
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: always like Tray Steve. He's he thinks about things. He

1497
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: knows his stuff, but he gives it some thought too.

1498
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: He's not to know at all, you know what I mean. Yeah,

1499
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: he's great. He's got a grade vibe. He's a great

1500
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: host of Golik and Wingo. Really easy to listen to.

1501
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: You're always really you know, you talked to him like

1502
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,560
Speaker 1: he was on our show. You talk to me, you

1503
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: feel like you know him and you're having a real

1504
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: conversation with somebody. It's a lot of fun. He's always

1505
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: a great guy to talk to. I never met him.

1506
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: If you ever met him face to face, you know

1507
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: what I think, like for a half second, somewhere in

1508
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: my distant past, we have met and that's about it. Yeah,

1509
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to meet him sometime. Thanks to Trey Wingo

1510
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: from ESPN for joining us. I got some thoughts. I mean,

1511
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: he had some good thoughts about the way the draft

1512
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: might go. How will the draft go for you? And

1513
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: why will you enjoy watching this year's draft? That's our

1514
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. I'll enjoy watching this year's NFL draft because

1515
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: what I need the distraction? Well, fifty percent of you

1516
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: say that's the reason. Is it? Because I want to

1517
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: see how teams execute with a remote setup. Twenty seven

1518
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: percent of you say that's the appeal? Is it because

1519
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 1: you want to watch it without losing, without having all

1520
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: the fluff around the draft? Eight percent of you say

1521
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 1: that's why you watch it? Or is there something else?

1522
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: Give us a call, send it a tweet eight oh

1527
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: to Welcome to five presented by Callida Health Radio only today.

1528
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: Just can't get our crew together six right, people that

1529
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: takes put the show on and don't want to put

1530
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: them to work. We don't really want to put them together,

1531
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: so we do radio only and I think it's holding

1532
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: up all right, Steve. I miss being on MSG, and

1533
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I think our MSG fans miss us. But most of

1534
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: them can get us on the radio, right, except for

1535
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: I should say this in Rochester because of an issue

1536
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: in the in the ESPN rochesterday, we are not on

1537
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 1: the radio and Rochester, but we will be on there tomorrow,

1538
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: So don't don't panic if you're not. If you're looking

1539
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: for us in Rochester area, we're on w g R

1540
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, not on in Rochester today. Hello, Steve,

1541
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: are you there? Yeah, I am here. It's just a

1542
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: glitch over in Rochester. Plus, we should also mention of

1543
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: all the things that are happening there every one us.

1544
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: In a while, somebody parachutes in with a with a

1545
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: small criticism about us not being able to talk to

1546
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: the new players they've got, like like Stefan Diggs and

1547
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: the defensive linemen we've got inside. That's the simple fact

1548
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:15,639
Speaker 1: the matter is they're not available to us yet because

1549
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: not all of the well, for instance, first of all,

1550
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: nobody wants us to talk to them until the until

1551
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: it contracts are finalized and nobody can get together to

1552
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: do the physicals and physically sign the contracts. Yet, when

1553
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: that happens, then then we'll get a chance to talk

1554
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: to these guys over the phone around sky. But until

1555
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 1: until all these deals are finalized, which it's unbelievably to

1556
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: think that, like somehow the Steph Diggs trade isn't ever

1557
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: going to be finalized, but it will be, it's just

1558
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: not yet, so we can't talk to these guys yet,

1559
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: and and we will get them we you know, believe me,

1560
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Murph Badgers are pr people about, you know, getting them

1561
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: on the air. Oh I don't I tell Jada Badger,

1562
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Well you Badger, j there for you. Yeah, we're just

1563
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: believe me, we are. We are in their ear, you know,

1564
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: trying to get these guys on because you know, think

1565
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: about it as these are the guys we want to

1566
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: talk to too. So as soon as we can, you know,

1567
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and the rest of these guys, Mario Addison

1568
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: and the like, they're all going to be on our

1569
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: show at some point in the future. But it's shit,

1570
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: we just can't get them yet. It's just we're just

01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: on the air. Let's play What's for Lunch? Steve ever

1592
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: popular What's for Lunch segment of our show where we

1593
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: throw out a issue and you and I debated a

1594
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: little bit. What would you rather do? Basically is the

1595
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: question what's for lunch? What's the biggest reason, the bigger

1596
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: reason that Brady Tom Brady left the Patriots. What was

1597
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: it to distance himself from Bill Belichick? Or is it

1598
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 1: to find another opportunity to win a championship? Tampa Bay

1599
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 1: was his best option to do. So what do you

1600
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 1: think distance from Bill Belichick or to win a championship

1601
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay best reason for Brady to leave New England.

1602
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 1: I will probably take Brady at his word, and that's

1603
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: closely more closely related to the fact that it was

1604
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: just time to distance himself from Bill Belichick. I think

1605
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: he thought it was just time to go away from

1606
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: New England and try a different team. And I think

1607
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay was just the best option at this point.

1608
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: And those two and those two timelines intersected this year,

1609
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay being the team and and this being

1610
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: the year when Tom Brady's contract was up and it

1611
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: was time for him to move on. So I think

1612
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: it's more about getting away from New England than it

1613
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: was about trying to win a championship in Tampa Bay

1614
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: being his best shot. I got a thought on this,

1615
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: but before I get to that, I just I don't

1616
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: want to lose this. What did you say if if

1617
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston goes into England they win twelve games, what

1618
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: did you say, what'll profoundly change me in what way?

1619
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: I think I was gonna say. I was gonna say,

1620
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: I'd like jump off a bridge. But I think they

1621
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: may do you know, it may happen, So I don't

1622
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: want to I want to go there. I don't have

1623
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:48,560
Speaker 1: to jump off a bridge. Yeah, listen, if can you

1624
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: imagine how sick you and I would be, I would

1625
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: be Well, let me ask you. And this goes back

1626
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: to our what's for lunch question? What if Tom Brady

1627
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: goes to Tampa Bay and they win twelve games? I

1628
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: think that's more likely. Actually, oh, I said, oh yeah,

1629
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay is gonna be a really good

1630
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: football team. I think they're gonna be markedly improved. I

1631
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: think he's Tom Brady's gonna give them some leadership and

1632
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: some an incredible guy at the quarterback position. I mean,

1633
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:19,600
Speaker 1: can you imagine, I mean everybody, uh, I mean everybody

1634
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: on that team is gonna like look to him and

1635
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: you know, just give him every bit of the fild

1636
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: of that, and they're gonna they're gonna really really play

1637
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: hard for him. He's gonna they're gonna get an uptick

1638
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 1: from just his being on the team. Forget about how

1639
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: he plays. I just think, um, yeah, I think Tampa

1640
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: Bay is in for a really really big step forward

1641
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah. Now, even though you I agree with

1642
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: you to a certain extent on that, I do not

1643
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,959
Speaker 1: think Brady left Newing them to go win a championship

1644
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. Getting back to where what's for lunch question?

1645
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: I do think he wanted to distance himself from Bill Belichick.

1646
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a negative sense. It

1647
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 1: wasn't like I kind of get away from this guy.

1648
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: I gotta get away from this guy. No, but his

1649
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: contractor was up. He had won so many games in

1650
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: New England and he thought I would like to get

1651
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: away from Belichick and see what I accomplished without him.

1652
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I think in a positive way, that's what the Brady

1653
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: was thinking. And I don't think there's an eternal rift

1654
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 1: or a feud between he and Bill Belichick. I don't

1655
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: think that's the case at all of you, right, I agree?

1656
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 1: I agreed, you know, And like I said, it was just,

1657
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, this particular year, Tampa Bay was the best

1658
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 1: spot for him. It's a great landing spot for him.

1659
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: They've got a pretty good roster put together. In another

1660
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 1: year he might have gone to another team, but it

1661
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: was time for him to leave. It wasn't about this

1662
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 1: wasn't about Tampa Bay, I guess, is my point. This

1663
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: was about Tom Brady leaving New England and the fact

1664
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: that it was Tampa Bay just wash comparison compared to

1665
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: that was just happenstance. Yeah, playing What's for Lunch? You

1669
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: York head coach? Do you have more faith than Joe

1670
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: Judge of the Giants Adam Gayse of the Jets? I

1671
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:04,719
Speaker 1: think I know how you're gonna answer this one, Steve.

1672
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: What do you think? You don't know anything about Joe Judge?

1673
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: Do you? I don't, right, And yeah, I mean I

1674
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: was in He's you know, Hey, he's impressive in a

1675
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: parent press conference. What can I say? And yet, even

1676
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: though he's never been a head coach in the league,

1677
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: I have more faith in him succeeding with the Giants

1678
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: than I do with Adam Gayson the Jets. There, I said,

1679
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: I just don't have any faith. I don't know if

1680
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: I would bet too much money on Adam Gase finishing

1681
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: this upcoming season as the head coach of the Jets.

1682
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 1: That's how little faith I have in Adam Gayson the Jets.

1683
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: That's true. I think Adam Gase is on is probably

1684
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: on the shortest leash of any coach in the league

1685
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 1: right now, other than perhaps Doug Marone in Jacksonville or

1686
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: maybe even Bill O'Brien. I don't know. I put Adam

1687
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: Gase ahead of both those guys. I would put him

1688
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: ahead of both those guys. I really would. So I

1689
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: agree with you, Murphy. Joe Judge. I see a lot

1690
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: of promise in him. He seems like a real leader,

1691
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: and given his background UM as a special teams coordinator

1692
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: working with a lot of different guys on the roster,

1693
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a kind of like

1694
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: John Harbor on the start he got. So I would

1695
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: say I would agree with you I have. I have

1696
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: high hope for Joe Judge and one more from the

1697
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: NFL for what's for lunch year UM better quarterback career

1698
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: so far, Nick falls hurt, Joe Flacco m interesting, each

1699
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 1: one of them with a Super Bowl win, right Championship win. UM,

1700
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I might say Flacco. Flacco

1701
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: has been sustained his better play, and I'm not saying recently,

1702
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: but he has, you know, not too long ago he

1703
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 1: was he was among the top what six, seven ten

1704
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Joe Flacco was I don't know

1705
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,719
Speaker 1: if nick he was one point the highest paid quarterback

1706
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: in the league right after he won the Super Bowl

1707
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: on a contract year. He was a quarterback that repeatedly

1708
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: got the Baltimore Ravens two and into the playoffs and

1709
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: into the AFC Championship Game. He ran into the Pittsburgh

1710
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: See there's a couple of times in a row. Yeah,

1711
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: I think Joe Flacco would be would be considered to

1712
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: have the better overall career just because of the consistency

1713
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: across the years of his career. Yeah, not recent consistency either, right. Well,

1714
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, the guy he's old, so yeah, I mean,

1715
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 1: but during his the beginning of his career and in

1716
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: his prime, Joe Flacco was a really good quarterback. Now,

1717
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: he was limited, he's not athletic, he wouldn't run around

1718
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I'm telling you, when it came to

1719
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: throw in it, there aren't There weren't too many guys

1720
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:39,600
Speaker 1: in the league at that time that could spin it

1721
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: like Joe Flacco. He could really throw it and throw

1722
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: it accurately. Deep ball. Yeah, all right, there you go.

1723
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 1: What's for lunch? Steve Tasker, John Murphy, We got more

Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

1742
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: I will still watch. I'll enjoy watching the NFL Draft

1743
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: because Bills and Mets fan says, because I'm a Bills fan.

1744
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: That's what we do. It's part of the rhythm of life.

1745
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: Even without a first round pick. I cannot wait for

1746
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: the draft one day closer to the season whatever it

1747
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: will be like. I like that to have an optimistic

1748
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 1: assertion of why you're gonna watch the draft, because that's

1749
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: what we do, that's what we are that time of year,

1750
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 1: and that's what we had. That's what Bills fans do.

1751
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: You're right, and it'll be interesting because I think the

1752
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: fun part of it's gonna it's gonna look different, it's

1753
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna feel different. Uh there was what was it? Uh?

1754
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: Somebody puts out there this is the sixth time in

1755
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: history the Bills have not had a first round draft

1756
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: raft pick. Yeah, and uh, I'm good with it. It'll

1757
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 1: for me, Murph, And I don't know if you feel

1758
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: like this too. I'm I always get a little bit

1759
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: of anxious for the draft, for the for the Bills

1760
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 1: to see who they're gonna pick, if they're gonna go well,

1761
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: if it's gonna go well, and then this year it'll

1762
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 1: be nice not to have that hanging over me. I

1763
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: think I don't. I don't have any skin in a

1764
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,639
Speaker 1: game that's kind of broken, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

1765
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: i'd say this. Since Bean and McDermot started running the

1766
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Bill Draft, I am less anxious and more excited about

1767
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, that's you know what I mean at

1768
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, I don't look for them to

1769
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: make well, let's be honest. I'll be honest here. When

1770
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: they made the big trade up and got Sammy Watkins,

1771
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I was excited. It was this big, splashy move. He

1772
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: was one of the best players available in that draft.

1773
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 1: We didn't know how his career would turn out, but

1774
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't quite sure that that was going to pan

1775
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: out right. The same thing the year before when they

1776
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: moved up in the draft and got EJ. Manuel, who

1777
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, by most calculations should have gone late first

1778
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 1: at the earliest, maybe in the second. The Bills moved

1779
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: way up to get him. Again, I was excited, but

1780
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I was sold on it. And with

1781
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: this group, with Brandon Bean running the draft and Sean

1782
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: McDermott assisting him, and the whole person else they if

1783
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: they have whatever they do in the draft, I pretty

1784
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: much like what they do. You know, I like what

1785
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: they've done so far through three years. Yeah, I mean,

1786
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: there's there's been a lot of fun watching him draft

1787
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 1: and it's even been The reason it's been fun is

1788
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,600
Speaker 1: because the players they've chosen have been a lot of

1789
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: fun to watch play. And they started winning a lot

1790
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: of games because of it. And they've started, you know,

1791
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: getting some Pro Bowl guys, trade White, first team All

1792
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: Pro at a premier position on National Football League. You know,

1793
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: those guys don't fall off trees. And when you can

1794
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 1: draft them and move around and and finagle and trade

1795
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: picks and players and get the guys you want and

1796
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 1: your team improved because of it. Man, that's yeah. I mean,

1797
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: that's storybook, storybook stuff where the draft is concerned because

1798
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, for it, let's let's face it, for all

1799
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: the guys you just mentioned, Murph, it's a lot of

1800
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: times it's not worked out for the Bills. And again,

1801
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: those are big, splashy draft day moves, and they were,

1802
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: they were a story on draft Day in the next day,

1803
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: but then when you think about what they gave up

1804
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 1: and how they got there, and then when you see

1805
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 1: how ej. Manuel or Sammy Watkins careers turned out. You're like, huh,

1806
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 1: that wasn't such a good move. I don't know that

1807
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: they haven't. This group has not really had a premium

1808
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: player that you could say that about. I mean, look

1809
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 1: what they did last year to move up on Friday

1810
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: Night in the second round to get Cody Ford. They

1811
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: had to make some moves. Cody Ford's a starting offensive linement,

1812
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: which is why I think, and again I'm back to

1813
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: my potential twitter ball question, at what position can the

1814
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: Bills get a starter from? And I think it's offensive

1815
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 1: life even at fifty four. Yeah, I think. And also

1816
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of ways to look at it,

1817
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: no question or from the tweet sheet from Ryan, he

1818
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: also chimes in. He goes, I think one of the

1819
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: answers should be because I still like football. It has

1820
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the remote setup or a distraction.

1821
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 1: People just want to see it. And I think that

1822
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: gets back to Bills and Mets fans what you said

1823
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: just a minute ago, Murphy, It's that time of year.

1824
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 1: I want to see the NFL draft. It's it's like

1825
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 1: opening day for baseball, It's like opening day of hockey season.

1826
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: It's like the NHL playoffs. It's in NBA playoffs all October,

1827
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 1: where you get the Major League Baseball. There's certain things

1828
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 1: you look for a certain times of the year, and

1829
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, and we had Trey Wing go on

1830
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:49,520
Speaker 1: a little bit ago, Murph. The NFL Draft has mushroomed

1831
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 1: over the last six or eight years. It's become and

1832
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:59,560
Speaker 1: this huge week long event, and people are starting to

1833
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 1: look for way more than they did in the past. Yeah,

1834
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 1: and we've lost a lot too in the last five

1835
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: weeks or so, right, We've lost the NCAA Tournament this year,

1836
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: We've lost the Masters, We've lost you know, the run

1837
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 1: up to the Derby. We're gonna lose the derby first

1838
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 1: week in May. We've lost a lot. We lost the

1839
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: opening day in baseball, the NBA season, the NHL season.

1840
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: I think fans think I've given up enough, you know,

1841
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 1: And there are more important things going on, and there's

1842
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: health issues and tragedy, real tragedy. But I think overall

1843
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 1: sports fans probably figure I've lost enough. I've given up enough.

1844
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 1: By the way, the Masters, did you watch what they

1845
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 1: did what CBS did this weekend, Steve See they had

1846
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:40,759
Speaker 1: the replay of the twenty nineteen Masters, and on Sunday

1847
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 1: they had Jim Nance kind of talking to Tiger Woods

1848
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,719
Speaker 1: and he talked him right through his round, his championship

1849
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 1: round last year. Yeah, they did the same thing on

1850
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: a different day with Phil Mickelson in two thousand and

1851
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: four when he won his first one, and they talked

1852
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: about how it was his first major and then he

1853
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: had been he's the best player never to win one,

1854
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 1: and they talked through each of the choices that he

1855
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,560
Speaker 1: made on the shots. Ah, that was fun. It was

1856
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a lot of fun. It was good.

1857
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 1: All Right, a break here when we come back heavy

1858
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 1: into the draft with Dan Shaka, NFL general manager for

1859
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,919

Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Mike Brown Cincinnati Bengals had the first overall

1867
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 1: pick and it looks like they are going to keep

1868
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 1: that number one pick. It is expected to be quarterback

1869
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow from LSU. Bengals coach Jack Taylor told The

Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show yesterday he did not see a scenario

1871
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: where Cincinnati would trade the top pick. Meantime, Burrow says

1872
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 1: wherever he winds up, it'll be a challenge. He says

1873
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 1: he's going to be going to a team that has struggle.

1874
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 1: The Bengals haven't made the playoffs since twenty fifteen. They

1875
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 1: were two and fourteen last year, but Joe Burrow says,

1876
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:08,560
Speaker 1: we'd be happy to play for them. Wherever I go,

1877
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: he says it'll be a challenge to begin with. Carolina

1888
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 1: as it is in a normal year. No team is

1889
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,679
Speaker 1: required to hold an offseason program according to the CBA,

1890
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: but if the team decides to hold off season workout

1891
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 1: programs this year, classroom instruction and on field activities that

1893
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,920

Speaker 1: start a schedule on June twenty seventh in Nice in France.

1903
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: And there you go. That's the update from One Bill's Live.

1904
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 1: John Murphy's Steve Tasker joining us right now on the

1905

1909
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,679
Speaker 1: Jay Harris, went to the mailbox today and your book

1910
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: was waiting for me. This made my day, Dan, in

1911
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 1: the time when we need little surprises like this, I'm

1912
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 1: happy to get the book again. Well, good, John, No,

1913
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: that's great. I'm glad that. You know, when we're all

1914
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:04,440
Speaker 1: all in the submarine, I guess you're all in individual submarines.

1915
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of tough, but like this time of year.

1916
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked before that, hey, we're hunkered down

1917
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 1: here for six to seven weeks and heck, I didn't

1918
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: even know there's uh, you know, quarantine going on everywhere

1919
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: because we were in here quarantine anyway, so you know,

1920
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:24,719
Speaker 1: but anyway, but anyway, I hope everybody's well in Buffalo

1921
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 1: and things are getting better, you know, around the world,

1922
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:31,640
Speaker 1: and you know we can get through this. How has

1923
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 1: this year been different to trying to evaluate these guys

1924
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:36,800
Speaker 1: coming out of college because of the quarantine, the coronavirus

1925
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,560
Speaker 1: and the travel restrictions and all the stuff that's going on.

1926
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 1: How has it made it difficult? I'll tell you what, Steve,

1927
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:50,599
Speaker 1: I think. I think this that the toughest part would be, um,

1928
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, getting the verified information on the guys that

1929
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 1: didn't work out at the combine and then of course

1930
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: they didn't have pro days and you'd like to get

1931
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:03,759
Speaker 1: verified information, but um, because we've been fooled on film before.

1932
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:05,680
Speaker 1: You know, you study the film and everything and you'd

1933
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:09,639
Speaker 1: like to but hey, um, you know, on an outstanding player,

1934
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:13,680
Speaker 1: you see him perform well, and you know they they

1935
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,559
Speaker 1: you can you know, I mean we've done it for years.

1936
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,479
Speaker 1: But you know a guy that can he opens up

1937
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 1: and he can run. He gets two strides in five yards.

1938
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,680
Speaker 1: You know he can run, so uh you know. And

1939
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: then also, um, the agents were putting out their their

1940
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: uh workout videos and things and and uh you know

1941
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 1: you can time those guys actually with your own stop

1942
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 1: watching and get a reasonably accurate time on their forties

1943
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 1: and things. But it all comes down to how they

1944
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:50,360
Speaker 1: played the game, you know. And if you've got three

1945
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 1: years of film on the guys, yeah, I mean that

1946
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:54,479
Speaker 1: you got to hang your hat on that and the

1947
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 1: area scouts. So I think that you know, it's tough

1948
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: in one way, but been it simplifies it in another.

1949
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 1: You don't get a minutia of information and you don't

1950
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: get paralysis by analysis. Tell us how that our lads

1951
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: is structured? You you it's you're you're in thirty nine years.

1952
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,719
Speaker 1: Our lads are doing this. You are the NFL general manager.

1953
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 1: How do you do that? You have scouts right that

1954
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 1: that looking players and compiled reports. Yeah, absolutely, we have. Uh,

1955
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 1: We've been a lot of our our lads scouts over

1956
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 1: the years have been scouts there. They're in between jobs.

1957
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:35,879
Speaker 1: They're former coaches that coach positions and at coach positions

1958
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:38,560
Speaker 1: in the league. Um. Back one year we had a

1959
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 1: guy that had four Super Bowl rings do uh he

1960
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: did our mock draft to us. So for him the guy,

1961
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 1: so to our fans that they don't realize the kind

1962
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 1: of uh input that we got from uh, you know

1963
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 1: the scout. Of course. You know, I scouted for twenty

1964
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: some years in the league. We took over our lads

1965
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: from Tom Heffler about I guess fifteen or sixteen years

1966
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 1: ago when my son was he played five sports in

1967
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:05,400
Speaker 1: high school and just the way it worked out. That

1968
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 1: was the one thing that when I was on the

1969
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,760
Speaker 1: road that when I visited with coaches and scouts they

1970
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,439
Speaker 1: really regretted is that they didn't get to see their

1971
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 1: son or daughter, you know, play sports in high school

1972
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 1: things because they were simply busy. Effect one coach, um,

1973
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 1: he had five sons and I think he said he

1974
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 1: only saw one of them play in one college game.

1975
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, they're all pretty good college foot plays.

1976
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: A couple of them or one of them end up

1977
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: playing NFL and the NFL. So yeah, I feel when

1978
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: I had an opportunity, you know, to uh watched my

1979
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: son play sports, and my daughter also, she was a

1980
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: really good soccer player. But then my son played five

1981
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 1: sports and a real big high school. Um, you know,

1982
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to see him. I wanted to see him play,

1983
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 1: and I'm glad I did. And then so and then

1984
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:52,719
Speaker 1: I got to do what I wanted to do, study

1985
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 1: tape and and evaluate players, and then you know, I

1986
01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: got to see my family grow up. Or from our

1987
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 1: lands counting services Dan Steve and our producer Jay Harris

1988
01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 1: make fun of me when they look at this book.

1989
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,800
Speaker 1: There's no pictures in it. It's all copy and I

1990
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:10,360
Speaker 1: think it's like the real deal as far as analysis

1991
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: of these draft picks though, and it's it's there's no

1992
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: pictures at all. It's hard, it's dense, let me put

1993
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 1: it that way. All steak, all steak and no sizzle. Yeah,

1994
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: why do you do it like that? Well, because first

1995
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,680
Speaker 1: of all, I mean you could, you could if you

1996
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: put a picture with every one of those reports ankers.

1997
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:35,680
Speaker 1: We evaluated over a thousand players, so there's like, you know,

1998
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 1: a thousand grades in there on guys and then we

1999
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:43,000
Speaker 1: rode up on three hundred and thirty some players. Uh

2000
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, but um, we just feel like, hey, by now,

2001
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 1: with the way of the internet and everything is you know,

2002
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: if you want to know what a guy looks like,

2003
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,799
Speaker 1: you probably already know, you know, and what the players

2004
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: or to ask you go to our website, OurLives dot

2005
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 1: com and click on on our draft up, click on

2006
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 1: the players uh name there and they can see their

2007
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: picture in a little snippet on the player there too,

2008
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 1: So um, you know, instead of printing and the guy,

2009
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 1: which would make it a lot heavier, you know, if

2010
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,439
Speaker 1: things stop about all the extra inc three hundred pages

2011
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,600
Speaker 1: or thirty three hundred pictures or what have you. But

2012
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: but no, we added actually the cover pictures as oh

2013
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,560
Speaker 1: I guess four or five years ago. We added the

2014
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: colored pictures on the cover and things like that. So um.

2015
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: But but anyway, it's like I said, steak and potatoes. Um.

2016
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,799
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a lot of flash slip pages

2017
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, that's not the guy. The guide

2018
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: is all about the meat of the draft. Well, this

2019
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: every draft is different than the Bills had really what

2020
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 1: seems to be a really productive draft a year ago.

2021
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:54,519
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on some of the guys you

2022
01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 1: had in your draft guide last year that the Bills

2023
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 1: took UH in the early and mid rounds, Like guys

2024
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 1: like uh At Oliver, Cody Ford, Devin Singletary, Dawson Knox.

2025
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,160
Speaker 1: Those four guys were real huge contributors on a team

2026
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,280
Speaker 1: that won ten games, went to the playoffs last year.

2027
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: What are your thrusty and I didn't go back and looking.

2028
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't have the draft guide from last year, But

2029
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: did you get those get it right with those guys

2030
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: or what are your thoughts? Yeah, well I'll tell you

2031
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:20,120
Speaker 1: all yes to do Steve is uh and you go

2032
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 1: to go to the Buffalo bill um UH depth chart

2033
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: on our lads click on you can click on their

2034
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 1: name link and then there are reports right there. So

2035
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 1: but we effect, well, I like, we liked Dawson Knox

2036
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 1: better than most UH analysts out there, and uh um,

2037
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: you know with his because because you know, he was

2038
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: like an afterthought old miss. You know, they had all

2039
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: those other receivers there, and he was a you know,

2040
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 1: a slot tight end kind of guy, a very athletic player,

2041
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: and we liked him. Of course, Cody Ford was a

2042
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: tough nut guy. I thought he would have to go

2043
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:59,639
Speaker 1: inside the guard. Um, but you know, ends up doing

2044
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 1: a nice job at right tackle and everything. Really a

2045
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 1: tough physical kid. Liked him a lot. But again, like

2046
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 1: I said, I and he may eventually go inside the

2047
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: guard I don't know, but but he's done a nice

2048
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:15,679
Speaker 1: job there at right tackle and so he was certainly

2049
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:18,560
Speaker 1: a player we like. Now Singletary, we didn't have he

2050
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: was you know, we had him like a sixth round

2051
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:22,880
Speaker 1: or well, we didn't have him in the third. But

2052
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: our concern there was, you know, he did not run

2053
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:30,719
Speaker 1: a great time. He has great running instincts and really

2054
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: did a nice job this past year great vision all that.

2055
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 1: But we had him. I think we had him in

2056
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 1: the sixth round fifty sixth rounds somewhere in air, as

2057
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,599
Speaker 1: I recall, So we didn't have him in the third.

2058
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: But he's obviously done a real nice job. Of course,

2059
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 1: at Oliver was one of our players that you know,

2060
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot with everybody else in the world liked in

2061
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 1: regards to even though he was not a huge guy,

2062
01:41:56,640 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: the way that the Bills Leslie Frazier the defense ordinator,

2063
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: the way they played him, and and I know they

2064
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 1: really coveted him prior to the draft because you know,

2065
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 1: being an under tackle, that explosive first step, guy that

2066
01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 1: can get up the field, be disruptive, be a chaos

2067
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 1: chaos type player. Um, you know he's a fit there.

2068
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: So um, but but the uh, you know, Buffalo You're

2069
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent, they really did a nice job,

2070
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: um with that first group. And then a guy that

2071
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: uh like, uh, We'll saying Joseph. You know, he's a

2072
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 1: backup guy or maybe he'll be competing with Client for

2073
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 1: that weekside linebacker spot. But you know there's another one

2074
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: that you know came in last year's draft that you

2075
01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 1: know did some good things. Jen Shaka from our Lands.

2076
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:47,599
Speaker 1: Guy did the NFL draft on the line with us.

2077
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:50,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned in the in the draft guide for this year,

2078
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:52,280
Speaker 1: which I have in front of me in the back

2079
01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: of the book. Towards the back of the book, you

2080
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 1: go through all thirty two teams with their depth charts

2081
01:42:56,400 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 1: which is invaluable and their needs and you think, you

2082
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: guys say that the Bills number one need is a

2083
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:04,760
Speaker 1: tight end. I'm quoting here. The Bills have numbers at

2084
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: tight end, but the overall talent is suspect. What do

2085
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,800
Speaker 1: you think in their dead Uh, well, I'll tell you

2086
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 1: We've got one of our scouts, uh is really uh

2087
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: he knows the Bills inside now and uh he's I

2088
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: think he felt like there's more you need more than

2089
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 1: one tight end and in this uh day's NFL. And

2090
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think Tyler Croft he's been you know,

2091
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a journeyman that's been beat up a

2092
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,639
Speaker 1: little bit and things. But then you got maybe two

2093
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:38,759
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is certainly a journeyman. Uh. You know, Sweeney

2094
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:42,840
Speaker 1: came in late in the seventh round last year. But

2095
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 1: I think that another weapon, you know, whether you go

2096
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: two tights and what have you you know, another tight

2097
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:55,679
Speaker 1: end would certainly be warranted for Buffalo. I think that's

2098
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: one reason why we had, you know, had another tie

2099
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: in there. What in this pro date and in this

2100
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:08,719
Speaker 1: pro draft this year. Um, you know, obviously everything centers

2101
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 1: around the top of the draft. What are your thoughts

2102
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: about the two guys to uh Tagafiloa, Joe Burrow, Uh,

2103
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:21,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Uh love all the top quarterbacks, um, even

2104
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 1: James Morgan from a Florida International. Well, yeah, first of all,

2105
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: I guess we'll start with Burrow and and UH really

2106
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:36,599
Speaker 1: like him. Obviously he had that uh spectacular breakout year

2107
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:42,400
Speaker 1: Uh at a program that was absolutely loaded with receivers.

2108
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,759
Speaker 1: And I know, Steve you can appreciate this, but there's

2109
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: probably those receivers and seven of them are under classmen.

2110
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Jefferson came out, but uh, they were

2111
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:59,480
Speaker 1: also they are a bunch of young, really speedy, athletic

2112
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:03,640
Speaker 1: receiver verse and he might not have that good a

2113
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 1: group at Cincinnati when he goes there. And then he

2114
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: had an offensive line, you know that was they won

2115
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:13,799
Speaker 1: the Joe Moore Award, the College award for the offensive

2116
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 1: line of the years. So he did have protection. Although

2117
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 1: he did a real nice job. Whenever there was a breakdown,

2118
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 1: he could move up. And he actually ran a lot

2119
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: better than people think, or he did a lot better

2120
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: than I don't think many people knew he could really

2121
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:32,840
Speaker 1: run that well and be as athletic as he was.

2122
01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: And then but the thing when it comes down to quarterbacks,

2123
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:40,799
Speaker 1: it's between your ears and the snaps you have at

2124
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: anticipation and getting that ball off. You know, Um, yeah,

2125
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: does he have a strong arm. No, But that's the

2126
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Speaker 1: way down the list of things quarterbacks need. I mean, obviously,

2127
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: you know Jim Kelly was there at Buffalo. Everybody talked

2128
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,600
Speaker 1: about Jim's strong arm, but he had it between the

2129
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 1: ears too, you know, and he had that you know,

2130
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 1: he could cut the right through the wind with his

2131
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:05,520
Speaker 1: strong arm and everything, but he knew, he had anticipation,

2132
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 1: he knew where to go with the ball. He could

2133
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 1: he had that quick synapse that I call it where

2134
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: a man you read it and boom you hit it.

2135
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: And that's what Burrow has. Burrow has that ability to

2136
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's his anticipation. I mean he'll whistle that

2137
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: ball right by a cornerback's ear and not even think

2138
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:24,200
Speaker 1: twice about it, you know. I mean he'll just get

2139
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 1: it in there right to the receiver. And other guys

2140
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 1: like Herbert for instance, Herbert is an immensely intelligent guy

2141
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: that he has a little bit of hesitation right now.

2142
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 1: Super Like I said, intelligent wise, you take him in

2143
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: a classroom or what have you. I mean, he is

2144
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be the smartest guy in the room. He'll

2145
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: know everything about biological sciences and all that. But we

2146
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 1: worry a little bit about that synapse that guys like

2147
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: Kelly and Burrow have. Baker Mayfield had it last year.

2148
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: He took a step back to some very poor coach there,

2149
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:03,800
Speaker 1: but they had that snap scare man. They see it

2150
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:06,720
Speaker 1: and they can hit it right now. And there's no

2151
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:11,639
Speaker 1: hesitation in the NFL. Your windows generally aren't that big,

2152
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:14,760
Speaker 1: So you want that anticipation to throw that ball in there.

2153
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:19,360
Speaker 1: And Burto has that. I don't think Herbert does. You know,

2154
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: are released right now. I mean, I don't know if

2155
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 1: that can be developed or if you get out of

2156
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: bed with it, But I kind of leaned to the

2157
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: get out of bed with it. Uh. Just you know, uh,

2158
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 1: and uh an accuracy too, you know, and a quarterback

2159
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 1: gets up in the morning. You know, they can they

2160
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 1: can pick up their socks and you know, and throw

2161
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:39,720
Speaker 1: it right in the old hamper from wherever they're at,

2162
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because they're accurate when they

2163
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:44,720
Speaker 1: get out of bed. But but um uh, and then

2164
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 1: we go to Tuah. Frankly, I wouldn't draft him. I

2165
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 1: would stay away from him. I just I mean I've

2166
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 1: scouted players since like nineteen eighty eight, and um, there's

2167
01:47:57,080 --> 01:48:00,839
Speaker 1: very few that ever, you know, getting the they're injured

2168
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: and has success. You know, Curtis Martin was one, remember

2169
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: him as the Giants in New England. He's in the

2170
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Now, he was always injured at Pittsburgh,

2171
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 1: always injured, Okay, and then but he ends at have

2172
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:14,920
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career. But to h here's a

2173
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,599
Speaker 1: guy that I mean obviously you know the ankles, the hip,

2174
01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: he has, that shoulder, at knees, he had, risk, you

2175
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 1: name it. Unfortunately, he's just one of those guys that

2176
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, a tremendous talent, but he's a chronically injured guy.

2177
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 1: And those guys just don't hold up to the NFL.

2178
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 1: Whether it's a build. I mean, you look at his build.

2179
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 1: He say, Wow, this guy's really strapped. I mean he's,

2180
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, a sick kid and all that, but you know,

2181
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 1: for some reason, he's just you know, he's got a

2182
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 1: lot of injuries all the time, and I just don't

2183
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:50,640
Speaker 1: think he can take a guy up that high, you know,

2184
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: but somebody may. I don't know. We'll see if the

2185
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:57,519
Speaker 1: slide starts, if Miami takes Herbert you know up there,

2186
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: or if you know, Miami goes with another position, um,

2187
01:49:02,360 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 1: with a trade down or what. But they needed quarterbacks,

2188
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 1: so I would think they're gonna go to Herbert and

2189
01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:11,320
Speaker 1: not to Tua so um and then uh, you know Love,

2190
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: we would stay away from Love. I think he's got

2191
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:16,639
Speaker 1: to uh you know, I wouldn't take him the first round.

2192
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 1: I mean I take him the second round. He needs

2193
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:21,759
Speaker 1: a lot of work. Um. You know, people are always

2194
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:24,560
Speaker 1: making excuses for people around him. But you know what

2195
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks make, you know those people around him better.

2196
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 1: And uh, you know I heard scuttle But at the

2197
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl saying, oh man, this guy is really good.

2198
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:36,120
Speaker 1: At the Senior Bowl, dout a dot. Well, I don't

2199
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 1: know what tapes they're looking at, but but he hit

2200
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 1: the five yard outcuts really good and the quick hitches

2201
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 1: and stuff. But gow go look at what he did vertically.

2202
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean he missed wide open targets. I mean he

2203
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 1: couldn't hit a bull in behind with a handful of peas,

2204
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it was just he

2205
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:56,040
Speaker 1: was ugly, you know, so um you know, but you know,

2206
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 1: but he's a developmental guy because he does have talent.

2207
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's got he he can throw the ball,

2208
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,200
Speaker 1: and he's a pretty good athlete and all that stuff.

2209
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 1: But don't tell me this guy's a top ten pick.

2210
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 1: You know, if you do well, you know, I guess

2211
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be feeling something else next year. In Shankin

2212
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:13,720
Speaker 1: from Oarlad's guy to send the lab with this, then,

2213
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how much stock you put in mock draft,

2214
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 1: but you do have one in the book this year.

2215
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: And for the Bills in the second round of fifty four,

2216
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: you've got him going for a defensive tackle. Ross Blacklock

2217
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: of TCU. What can you tell us about Ross Blacklock?

2218
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: Tremendous guy. He's a will be a super rotate guy

2219
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:37,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills with that, Oliver Latou and you know

2220
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:42,519
Speaker 1: Butler who just got signed Quinton Jefferson. You know, hey,

2221
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,439
Speaker 1: you got you know, we don't even talked about Harrison

2222
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,880
Speaker 1: Phillips in there. And Vincent Taylor's got some talent, but

2223
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 1: I think that you know, um, here's a guy that

2224
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 1: could play a defensive end in a pinch, play the

2225
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:57,800
Speaker 1: run and inside. He'd be an excellent rotate player to

2226
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 1: keep those other guys fresh. And he's very active with

2227
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:05,679
Speaker 1: his hands. He's got quick feed plays low to the ground,

2228
01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 1: he can get leverage back. He's got good vision inside. Um,

2229
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, I just call it interior instincts, and he

2230
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 1: has that. And the other thing is the Bills are

2231
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to keep their fingers crossed because I don't

2232
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 1: know if he'll be there, you know, aft before I

2233
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:29,519
Speaker 1: think that, you know, he is well liked in the

2234
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: around the league, but strange things have happened. I think

2235
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: he may go a little earlier than that. But if

2236
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 1: he's there, I think the Bills scoop him up. Yeah.

2237
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,160
Speaker 1: This and this also, of course, as we get closer

2238
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: to this draft, It's been said from the very beginning,

2239
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 1: at the very early stages, this draft is deep, deep,

2240
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:50,680
Speaker 1: deep and wide receivers. You've got Jerry Judy C. D

2241
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: Lamb or top tier guys. And how many guys do

2242
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:58,719
Speaker 1: you think in this draft at wide receiver are guys

2243
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,880
Speaker 1: that are gonna come in and we'll maybe either if

2244
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 1: not starting on the field this season in the NFL,

2245
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 1: will be the first guy in on the rotation in there.

2246
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 1: How many of those guys are there in this draft? Well,

2247
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:16,600
Speaker 1: there's a I mean, I think there's probably eight to

2248
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:22,280
Speaker 1: nine receivers. They've got first round grades. Okay, whether you

2249
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: know it's even Claypool later or Higgins, I think guys

2250
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 1: if but it's like anything else, Steve, you gotta get

2251
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:33,240
Speaker 1: in the right scheme. And some of the guys don't

2252
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 1: have experience by multiple alignment receivers. They they're they're not

2253
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're either vertical guys or they might run

2254
01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 1: the quick slants. Some aren't always uh, you know, in

2255
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 1: the intermediate route guys that they've got a lot learned

2256
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot about NFL receiving play. And I think the

2257
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 1: quicker guys, like I think Judy, he's gonna go in.

2258
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 1: He's a great route runner. He's gonna learn stuff really

2259
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 1: quickly because of the way they do things at Alabama.

2260
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:01,719
Speaker 1: I think rugs the same way. I think that Lamb

2261
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 1: will probably be an outstanding talent, will get it once

2262
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 1: he gets the hang of it the NFL system. But

2263
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't have to run a lot of

2264
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:14,960
Speaker 1: different type of routes from a different alignments at Oklahoma.

2265
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 1: But when they throw his ball through the ball his way,

2266
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean he could make a play, make that circus catch,

2267
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 1: he could lay out, he could do, he'd go after

2268
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:25,639
Speaker 1: that ball. He attackled his hands with the high point.

2269
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 1: So I mean he did a lot of good things.

2270
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 1: Mems is a talent a guy that's a very talented

2271
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 1: guy that is sended throughout the year and then into

2272
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:37,679
Speaker 1: the All Star Games get some really good good things

2273
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:41,920
Speaker 1: there and a good sized guy. And then on top

2274
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:44,760
Speaker 1: of it all, he had a great combine workout. And

2275
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:46,200
Speaker 1: that's what you'd like to see a guy that has

2276
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: a really good career and then knock it out at

2277
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:51,720
Speaker 1: the combine and then he'd go, Hey, my suspicions are confirmed.

2278
01:53:51,840 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 1: So but Jefferson from LSU another talented guy. In my

2279
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 1: heart of hearts, certainly at one time I wanted to

2280
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: see Claypool go to the Bills because here's a guy

2281
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:07,120
Speaker 1: that could care less about cold and snow, you know

2282
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. Being a Canadian, he would relish. Infact,

2283
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 1: he'd probably be mad if he gets drafted by a

2284
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:17,679
Speaker 1: warm weather team. You know. And he's a big physical

2285
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 1: guy that is a tremendous athlete that could be that

2286
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 1: multiple alignment receiver like a you know, okay, we've got

2287
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 1: Dawson there at tight end, but you know, here's a

2288
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 1: big two hundred forty pound wide receiver just got really

2289
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 1: good feet that you could stick as a tight end

2290
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: going down and maybe gets covered too, you know, split

2291
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:42,840
Speaker 1: those two safeties and and take it over the top.

2292
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he'll he'll the matchup with him with being

2293
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 1: six four and chains and long arms will be incredible.

2294
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:54,520
Speaker 1: So um, but I think that um, you know there

2295
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:58,440
Speaker 1: and then Higgins, he'll have things to learn. But again,

2296
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: here's a guy that's a instantly talented from Clemson. Iyok

2297
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: from Arizona stayed. He had some course surgery the last

2298
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,680
Speaker 1: two le I guess it was. So he's probably gonna

2299
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 1: be a pup to start with. But he can really

2300
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 1: when he catches that ball, he can really return after

2301
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:18,040
Speaker 1: he catches it. And he been in a pro style

2302
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:22,400
Speaker 1: system and taught by pro style coaches there Arizona State

2303
01:55:22,520 --> 01:55:24,880
Speaker 1: under HERM Edwards, So I think he might, you know,

2304
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 1: catch on. And then Pettman and his dad of course

2305
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:29,880
Speaker 1: played in the NFL and they run some even though

2306
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 1: it was a air raid system out there. He's been

2307
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 1: around pro style office, so he might be able to

2308
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: pick things up. So I think he just depends on

2309
01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:39,720
Speaker 1: the player, how, you know, and if they've been in

2310
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 1: a pro style system already and um, you know where

2311
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:46,960
Speaker 1: what they're asked to do early. Hey, before I let

2312
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 1: you go down, I want to ask you about a

2313
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 1: guy that was brought up by a listener of ours

2314
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He says, Virginia cornerback Brights Fall, if he

2315
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 1: was not injured, would be a first rounder and he

2316
01:55:56,120 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: could be available to the Bills with a second or

2317
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,480
Speaker 1: maybe even a third rounder. What do you have an

2318
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 1: ankle injury? Hunt that has held him back a little bit. Yeah,

2319
01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:05,240
Speaker 1: he had surgery and everything, but he is a very

2320
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 1: talented guy. He's a big, big corner and uh, now

2321
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:12,400
Speaker 1: that's a guy that hey, you could take um, you

2322
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 1: know and and stick him on pup and then because

2323
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:19,080
Speaker 1: he'll he had it about mid season or toward the end,

2324
01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:22,560
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. Oh, I guess you'd say five eighths

2325
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: of a way through the season. Um. But he is

2326
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 1: a very talented guy. He's very smart. Hey, I'd love

2327
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 1: to see Leslie Frazier coach, and Leslie does such a

2328
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 1: great job with defense, give backs and everything. Uh, I

2329
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,960
Speaker 1: would love to see him, you know, land there and uh,

2330
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 1: but he's probably you know, I don't know if he'll

2331
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,560
Speaker 1: be there at eighty six, but he might be. And um,

2332
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:48,040
Speaker 1: but he would definitely be somebody that the bills, you know,

2333
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 1: would would fit into what they're trying to do. Again.

2334
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 1: Our Lands guide to the twenty twenty NFL Draft still available, right,

2335
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 1: you probably still get him mailed with somebody in the

2336
01:56:57,800 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 1: next week and a half, I would think, huh, absolutely, John.

2337
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 1: And what we've done this year, because of the coronavirus,

2338
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 1: uh and all that stuff, we've actually added a PDF

2339
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,320
Speaker 1: copy that people can get Now they can order, you know,

2342
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:21,080
Speaker 1: they order, you know, so uh at the hard copy

2343
01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 1: and then and then uh, you know, excuse me, the

2344
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 1: digital copy and um, but then they can still get

2345
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 1: their hard copy. We send them out twice a day.

2346
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll know why. A lot of people wait

2347
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 1: the last manage to get them but every year, but

2348

2359
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 1: saying that you know why because now I'm looking at

2360
01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: Andy thinking, you know, I got a lot of work

Speaker 1: to do the next weekend. Hand I won't read it

2362
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:16,960
Speaker 1: cover to cover, but I certainly will spend a lot

2363
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 1: of time with it. The way I use those things

2364
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 1: is I wait to somebody mentioned the kid's name to me,

2365
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:23,600
Speaker 1: and then I go look at look it up, see

2366
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 1: what are they what's what our Lives really says, because

2370
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 1: So I'm that's the way I use it as it's

2371
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: like a dictionary. You look get a word and you

2372
01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:42,680

2375
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 1: on the currently on the roster, including kind of where

2376
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:53,680
Speaker 1: they came from, how old they are, and then the

2377
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 1: team's needs below that. So even on draft day, Draft weekend,

2378
01:58:57,920 --> 01:58:59,680
Speaker 1: team picked somebody, you thinkure out, how did I plug

2379
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 1: them in this group? And it's really valuable. It's really valuable.

2397
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 1: We're asking Bills fans why are they will enjoy watching

2398
01:59:57,160 --> 01:59:59,720
Speaker 1: this year's NFL draft? Is it because you need a distraction?

2399
02:00:00,120 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Forty nine percent of you? Almost half of you say

2400
02:00:02,080 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 1: that's the reason. Why Is it because you want to

2401
02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 1: see how teams execute with the remote set up? Nobody's

2402
02:00:08,080 --> 02:00:09,800
Speaker 1: in their draft room, how they gonna do that? Twenty

2403
02:00:09,840 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 1: seven percent say that would be the reason to watch.

2404
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Is it going to be because there won't be so

2405
02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:16,920
Speaker 1: much fluff? Right, It'll be football. There won't be players

2406
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:20,520
Speaker 1: in suits, with families in green rooms, crossing moats on boats.

2407
02:00:21,200 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 1: Nine percent of you say that's the reason fifteen percent say,

2408
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:25,640
Speaker 1: is something else. Let's talk about it. Give us a

2409
02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 1: call eight o three five fifty toll free one eight

2410
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:31,680
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. The NFL Draft

2411
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:35,480
Speaker 1: coming up nine days away. This is coming Steve from

2412
02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:39,840
Speaker 1: Darren Rovell, writer about the business of sports. He says

2413
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:45,120
Speaker 1: NFL has sent out a draft prospects and their marketers

2414
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:50,320
Speaker 1: a memo about what players can and cannot be eating,

2415
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:54,320
Speaker 1: drinking when they're drafted. Players if they're brought, if they're

2416
02:00:54,440 --> 02:00:56,360
Speaker 1: drinking out of a soda can well, being shown on

2417
02:00:56,480 --> 02:00:59,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast cannot be Coca Cola. If they're eating candy,

2418
02:00:59,680 --> 02:01:02,080
Speaker 1: it can not be a Reese's peanut butter cup. The

2419
02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Action networked where Darren Rovell says the NFL says, even

2420
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 1: though the players will be featured on the telecasts, there

2421
02:01:08,200 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: not signed contracts, their appearance is property in the NFL.

2422
02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:13,760
Speaker 1: To me, this is a good sign. This means that

2423
02:01:13,840 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 1: the NFL has not lost, has not forgotten its mission,

2424
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:21,320
Speaker 1: which is to grab every nickel on the table. Right. Well,

2425
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Well, yeah, but think about it though,

2426
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean you can, I can understand where they're coming from.

2427
02:01:26,080 --> 02:01:28,240
Speaker 1: You got these guys that are on NFL broadcast, and

2428
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:33,320
Speaker 1: you've got these companies like Pepsi and who's the other thing,

2429
02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 1: Snickers or whatever, paying the millions of millions of bucks,

2430
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:38,000
Speaker 1: and then you're given free advertising to every all of

2431
02:01:38,040 --> 02:01:42,400
Speaker 1: their competitors that that's not gonna fly. So they're not

2432
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 1: even in the NFL yet. I mean, it's the moment

2433
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:47,040
Speaker 1: when they're drafted. I don't know. They cannot. They cannot

2434
02:01:47,080 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 1: wear logos of any brand on a shirt other than

2435
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: league partners like Nike, Adidas, under Armor, or New Era.

2436
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:56,080
Speaker 1: And I'm going on from the story. The clothing is

2437
02:01:56,120 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: expected to be clean, free of liberal or hate speech,

2438
02:02:00,160 --> 02:02:03,480
Speaker 1: cannot make a political statement, References to alcohol drugs are

2439
02:02:03,480 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 1: gambling prohibited as well. I don't know, I get it,

2440
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I know why they're doing it. Just a little weird, right,

2441
02:02:11,320 --> 02:02:13,720
Speaker 1: That's the world we live in. Where what can I say? Yeah,

2442
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:18,800
Speaker 1: it is weird because now it's because guys in in

2443
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 1: other years have monetized their draft day. Baker Mayfield was

2444
02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 1: one of them. Correct, didn't he have his own draft

2445
02:02:26,840 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 1: sponsored draft day party? So you know that to me

2446
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:33,600
Speaker 1: is word it all began. You get these players that

2447
02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 1: are smart enough for smarter than you know, than guys

2448
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 1: have been in the past, and they've they've got some

2449
02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:41,040
Speaker 1: quality people working for him and shows them how to

2450
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:42,960
Speaker 1: make some money. None of this money they're getting from

2451
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: this draft is guaranteed. You know, they're not. These guys

2452
02:02:46,920 --> 02:02:50,000
Speaker 1: aren't making life changing money yet and if they can

2453
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:53,120
Speaker 1: believe listen, a couple of hundred grand for doing something

2454
02:02:53,200 --> 02:02:56,000
Speaker 1: like that. It's worth it to these kids, right So,

2455
02:02:56,480 --> 02:02:59,600
Speaker 1: and it's not new. Last year ESPN told the agents

2456
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: they would not take a home feed from a player

2457
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 1: who was drafted if there were a sponsor or logo

2458
02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:07,280
Speaker 1: in the camera's path. The differences this year, nobody will

2459
02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 1: be anywhere first round especially, there's no more green room, right.

2460
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:12,840
Speaker 1: Players will be at their homes, all of them right

2461
02:03:13,600 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: right now. Here's the thing too, I would imagine and

2462
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 1: maybe it says so in the in the article, Um,

2463
02:03:19,800 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 1: the league would probably send them a little package, you

2464
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:25,800
Speaker 1: know of approved some gear, Yeah, some approved stuff that

2465
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:29,000
Speaker 1: they can use and wear and whatever. So believe me,

2466
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that's I used to say it all the time when

2467
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:34,600
Speaker 1: I was playing Murph. The best part about pro football

2468
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 1: is all the free stuff. And it's already started for

2469
02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:40,120
Speaker 1: these draft picks. I think it's a good sign. Like

2470
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I said, it means the league is not forgotten how

2471
02:03:42,320 --> 02:03:46,480
Speaker 1: important it is clothing, food, drinks. Let's take your call.

2472
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Robert in Toronto. Hello, Robert, you're on the air with us.

2473
02:03:48,720 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead. I really like the interview with Dan Chunka.

2474
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: There um wasn't sure about at the end and being

2475
02:03:59,560 --> 02:04:02,720
Speaker 1: there at fifty four, and I know he liked a

2476
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:05,800
Speaker 1: few other receivers. Did you get the impression that he

2477
02:04:05,880 --> 02:04:08,360
Speaker 1: thought Claypool would be there at fifty four or the

2478
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Bills would have to trade up if they wanted to

2479
02:04:10,120 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 1: get him. You know, I thought about that. I did

2480
02:04:12,920 --> 02:04:16,000
Speaker 1: not ask. But he's got Claypool going early in the

2481
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:17,960
Speaker 1: second round in their mock draft. Now I don't know

2482
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 1: how much how much stock they put in their mock draft,

2483
02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 1: but he's got him going pretty early. He's got Claypool

2484
02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:26,840
Speaker 1: as one of one, three, four seven receivers who belong

2485
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:29,200
Speaker 1: in the first round. Will he be there at fifty four?

2486
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 1: He could be, Yeah, he could be. I don't think

2487
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Dan Shunka believed he would be. And I think he

2488
02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's going by what he sees

2489
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:39,600
Speaker 1: on his in his draft prospective prospectives and I don't

2490
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:41,760
Speaker 1: think he believes that Chase Claypool be at the Bills

2491
02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:44,840
Speaker 1: at fifty four. I think, guys, i'd like to see

2492
02:04:44,880 --> 02:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the Bills. That's the one guy i'd I see the

2493
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Bills go up to get. And I think it'd be

2494
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:51,120
Speaker 1: worth it if they did get him, you know, and

2495
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:55,400
Speaker 1: I like him. We've been enamored with Chase Claypool since

2496
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:58,600
Speaker 1: the moment he ran a sub four five forty at

2497
02:04:58,640 --> 02:05:01,440
Speaker 1: the Combine at two hundred thirty pounds. That was a

2498
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 1: difference maker for me. Robert. Let me say this though,

2499
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:06,480
Speaker 1: I'd love it if he failed to the Bills, and

2500
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:08,760
Speaker 1: it would be awfully tempting to get him. Go up

2501
02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:11,400
Speaker 1: and get him, give up a draft pick, capital or

2502
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:13,680
Speaker 1: maybe even the player to go get him. I don't

2503
02:05:13,720 --> 02:05:15,240
Speaker 1: know about that. I don't know if I do that,

2504
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 1: they don't. You know, the trade of Diggs means they

2505
02:05:18,240 --> 02:05:21,160
Speaker 1: do not need a receiver desperately as they did before

2506
02:05:21,200 --> 02:05:23,280
Speaker 1: they got Digs, and so I would be reluctant to

2507
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 1: give up much of anything to move up in the

2508
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:28,360
Speaker 1: draft to get Chase Cleaypool. Good call, though, thanks for calling.

2509
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:32,200
Speaker 1: You're Steve calling from New Jersey. Hello Steve, go ahead, Hello,

2510
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:35,760
Speaker 1: thank you. I was excited about the addition of digs

2511
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:39,919
Speaker 1: to the offense in the same way that maybe Lofton

2512
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:47,040
Speaker 1: accentuated the possibilities for everyone when James Lofton joined the club. Also,

2513
02:05:47,320 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 1: I would like to thank Steve for mentioning join up.

2514
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:55,200
Speaker 1: That's a concept that I think is very important in

2515
02:05:56,600 --> 02:06:01,240
Speaker 1: how this Bills team is being orchestrated and run and managed. Um.

2516
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:04,320
Speaker 1: There's a man who wrote the Inner Game. He wrote

2517
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:09,200
Speaker 1: his name is Monte Roberts. He wrote the man he's

2518
02:06:09,200 --> 02:06:11,840
Speaker 1: a man who listens to horses, and it talks about

2519
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:14,760
Speaker 1: join up and how important that is in terms of

2520
02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:18,880
Speaker 1: playing as a group. Anyway, I want to congratulate you

2521
02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:21,960
Speaker 1: and see what your comments are regarding thank you. What's

2522
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:23,720
Speaker 1: he talking about join up? See what is it? I

2523
02:06:23,800 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 1: think that's when I said it's about leadership. We were

2524
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:29,040
Speaker 1: talking about last week when you know, it was not

2525
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:31,560
Speaker 1: about getting guys that follows you guys to join it.

2526
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:35,000
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's where you know leadership really

2527
02:06:35,040 --> 02:06:37,160
Speaker 1: works its best is when the guys you're trying to

2528
02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:39,960
Speaker 1: get to follow you feel like you're in it with him.

2529
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:42,600
Speaker 1: That's kind of the concept He's taught he's referring to,

2530
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:45,600
Speaker 1: and he's right. When we got James Lofton onto the

2531
02:06:45,640 --> 02:06:49,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills late in the nineteen eighty nine season, I

2532
02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:51,320
Speaker 1: think he was on the team the last four games.

2533
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 1: I think he got in the last three games. He

2534
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:56,840
Speaker 1: got on the field a little bit for us, and

2535
02:06:57,320 --> 02:07:01,240
Speaker 1: also in the playoff game. And James changed the dynamic

2536
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:06,200
Speaker 1: of the room in a great way, and Andre became better.

2537
02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:09,840
Speaker 1: James contributed in a big way. Don Beebe became better,

2538
02:07:09,960 --> 02:07:15,760
Speaker 1: I became better, and our production skyrocket. And the next

2539
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 1: four years that he was on the team, we were

2540
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. You know, when Lufton came steve

2541
02:07:20,760 --> 02:07:23,120
Speaker 1: to the Bills, what was that nineteen eighty nine. He

2542
02:07:23,240 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: didn't come in with a bunch of Super Bowl rings

2543
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:27,480
Speaker 1: on his finger, right, So what did he bring? What

2544
02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: was the important thing he brought to the Bills Back then?

2545
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:34,800
Speaker 1: He was a veteran receiver who had already you know,

2546
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 1: earned his earned a reputation as being a really big

2547
02:07:39,040 --> 02:07:41,760
Speaker 1: play guy. He was very fast. He was he was

2548
02:07:41,840 --> 02:07:44,840
Speaker 1: six two and a half sixty three and a big

2549
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:48,000
Speaker 1: bodied receiver with a lot of speed. And he was

2550
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:53,760
Speaker 1: a true outside receiver that was really going to put

2551
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:57,000
Speaker 1: pressure on the defense, and that his presence and his

2552
02:07:57,120 --> 02:08:00,800
Speaker 1: abilities that were well documented before he got there, gave

2553
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 1: us something. The only question we got when we got

2554
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:04,760
Speaker 1: James was he'd have something left. He was like an

2555
02:08:04,840 --> 02:08:08,000
Speaker 1: eight nine year veteran, and sure enough, and not only

2556
02:08:08,040 --> 02:08:10,160
Speaker 1: did to have something left, he was a huge contributor.

2557
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:13,560
Speaker 1: That was a big pickup. It was huge, and he

2558
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:15,400
Speaker 1: was ikey had to come in and work out. He

2559
02:08:15,520 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 1: worked out on a Tuesday in the middle of the season,

2560
02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:22,640
Speaker 1: and our our wide receiver coach rest his soul was

2561
02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:27,160
Speaker 1: Nick Nikolau, who had coached James in in Oakland or

2562
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:31,480
Speaker 1: was La with the Raiders and Al Davis had fired him,

2563
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:36,320
Speaker 1: and Nick came to Buffalo the next season, and then

2564
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:39,560
Speaker 1: subsequently James was available and Nick knew him and brought

2565
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:43,600
Speaker 1: him in and gave him a glowing recommendation to Marv

2566
02:08:43,680 --> 02:08:45,520
Speaker 1: and that's what did it, and sure enough it was

2567
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:47,600
Speaker 1: the right move for our team. Do you see any

2568
02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: parallel the Stefan Diggs. He's loft him was thirty three

2569
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:54,800
Speaker 1: when he came to the Villas. Digs is twenty six. Yeah,

2570
02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: I do, I do. He's a guy that's that's gonna

2571
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:03,520
Speaker 1: tilt the field. John Brown was the number one guy.

2572
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley gave him some problems. But to have a

2573
02:09:06,120 --> 02:09:10,200
Speaker 1: third guy now, who's a handful, you know. I think

2574
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 1: the beneficiary is gonna be a guy like Cole Beasley.

2575
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna get matchups that he wouldn't have gotten this

2576
02:09:16,320 --> 02:09:18,600
Speaker 1: last year. John Brown is not gonna be a guy

2577
02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna have to beat double teams from from Matthew

2578
02:09:23,040 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Slater and Stefan Gilmore against the Patriots. He's gonna be

2579
02:09:26,960 --> 02:09:32,560
Speaker 1: singled up at times. The real question, there's no question

2580
02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Diggs is gonna bring a huge, huge difference as to

2581
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:39,800
Speaker 1: how defense has perceived the Bills offense. That's the real question.

2582
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:42,960
Speaker 1: And I think Diggs is the perfect antidote for that.

2583
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:46,640
Speaker 1: So I'm I think it's a great analogy with James

2584
02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Lofton back in the late eighties and then through the

2585
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:51,840
Speaker 1: nineties and Steph Diggs. This year, all right, you gotta

2586
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:55,480
Speaker 1: Break one Bills Live presented by Kalidah Health. We're radio

2587
02:09:55,560 --> 02:10:05,240
Speaker 1: only today. This is Buffalo Bills Radio at that time

2588
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,320
Speaker 1: already happen to do. What have we learned? It has

2589
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:10,640
Speaker 1: brought to you by Skywork, the official construction equipment rental

2590
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:12,640
Speaker 1: company in the Buffalo Bills. We had Trey Wingle on

2591
02:10:12,720 --> 02:10:15,920
Speaker 1: the show from ESPN. He will host their NFL Draft

2592
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:19,280
Speaker 1: coverage nine days away. Trey Wingo, we asked him how

2593
02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 1: different this draft it is gonna be for viewers this year.

2594
02:10:21,800 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. I'm gonna be by myself in

2595
02:10:25,480 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 1: the studio tossing to Roger Goodell in his basement in

2596
02:10:30,160 --> 02:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Westchester making the picts, and then Lewis and Booker McFarland

2597
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:39,440
Speaker 1: and mel kiper Junior will all be on him remote.

2598
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:42,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be a tribute to modern technology than

2599
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:44,200
Speaker 1: everything else, and I think that's going to be the

2600
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:47,560
Speaker 1: biggest challenge. And just understanding as we're all doing this now,

2601
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the way you're doing your show here.

2602
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 1: It's just a different reality. And the draft is always

2603
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:55,480
Speaker 1: a mess, right, It's always kind of bumpy and crazy

2604
02:10:55,560 --> 02:10:57,120
Speaker 1: and fun, and this is just gonna be another way.

2605
02:10:57,160 --> 02:11:00,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bumpy, crazy and fun to be crazy,

2606
02:11:00,720 --> 02:11:03,280
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Also on the show today, Dan Shanka,

2607
02:11:03,400 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 1: we hit him on earlier this hour, the general manager

2608
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:08,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL and portion of our land scounting services.

2609
02:11:08,880 --> 02:11:11,600
Speaker 1: They think our land scounting services. They think the Bill's

2610
02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:13,760
Speaker 1: biggest need is the draft. A tight end this year

2611
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 1: is what Dan Shaka said about that you need more

2612
02:11:17,600 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 1: than one tight end. And in this day's NFL. And

2613
02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think Tyler Croft, he's been you know,

2614
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:27,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of a journeyman that's been beat up a

2615
02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 1: little bit and thanks for the thing you got. Maybe two.

2616
02:11:30,280 --> 02:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is certainly a journeyman. You know, Sweeney came

2617
02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: in late in the seventh round last year. But I

2618
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:44,320
Speaker 1: think that another weapon, you know, whether you go two

2619
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:47,600
Speaker 1: tights and what have you. You know, another tight end

2620
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:53,080
Speaker 1: would certainly be warranted for Buffalo. I guess what, Steve,

2621
02:11:53,160 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's not where I would go if

2622
02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:56,800
Speaker 1: I were the Bills. What do you think, No, I don't.

2623
02:11:56,840 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so either. I think they like the

2624
02:11:58,640 --> 02:12:01,720
Speaker 1: crew they've got and was facing when. I don't think

2625
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:04,280
Speaker 1: they need more pass catchers in there. I think their

2626
02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 1: philosophy has been a tight end. Can I do it?

2627
02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:11,440
Speaker 1: Not by committee so much, but have specialist specialized guys

2628
02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:14,040
Speaker 1: come in, blockers like Lee Smith, guys in the running game.

2629
02:12:14,640 --> 02:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox would be an every down guy who can

2630
02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 1: do a little bit of everything. And of course Tyler

2631
02:12:18,600 --> 02:12:20,360
Speaker 1: Craft is a receiving type of guy, so it'll be

2632
02:12:20,360 --> 02:12:22,160
Speaker 1: interesting to see how they do it. But I'm with you,

2633
02:12:22,720 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm thinking tight ends a little further down

2634
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 1: my list than maybe our lads is. Yeah, you know

2635
02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:29,720
Speaker 1: what we're gonna have to do, see before the draft

2636
02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:31,800
Speaker 1: eight nine days away. Now we're gonna have to pick

2637
02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:34,520
Speaker 1: at least a position they'll go with with fifty four, Right,

2638
02:12:34,560 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna be up for that. I don't

2639
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:38,960
Speaker 1: want to hear it. Now. I'll try. I'll come up

2640
02:12:38,960 --> 02:12:41,240
Speaker 1: with something. We're just guessing. We're just try. I can

2641
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:45,080
Speaker 1: name all the positions. Tomorrow show, we'll get a guy

2642
02:12:45,080 --> 02:12:47,040
Speaker 1: who can name them all too. We hope Brandon Bean

2643
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:49,080
Speaker 1: will join us at one o'clock tomorrow. The Bills general

2644
02:12:49,120 --> 02:12:52,240
Speaker 1: manager is less minute preparations for the draft and what

2645
02:12:52,320 --> 02:12:55,280
Speaker 1: a draft will be. And Dane Brugler, who writes for
