Speaker 1: I'm John Murphy. Steve Tasker is co hosting. Where Steve's

5
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: at this house down the road in east or I'm

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: at my home in Archbark Radio only today. Hello, Steve,

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: how you doing today? Doing good? Murph doing really good?

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: I uh hello. We had a little family event this morning.

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: Most most of you you won't nobody appreciate except me,

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: I guess, but I gotta share it with you. So

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. A couple of weeks ago, I told

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: you a big tree. Now, I have a pond in

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: my backyard and a big tree out there, and this

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: log that had fallen off was just staring at me

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: because there's a project I had to get to. When

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: I finally got to, I chopped that all up and

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: got it cleaned up. But the tree was a little

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: bit scarred by, you know, one of the big branches off,

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and today this morning it blew over. Now the rest

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: of that huge the trees literally three feet in diameter

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: it's huge, and it's now half in half out of

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: my pond. And I have yet another project and I

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: went out and now my chainsaws acting up. I got

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: all kinds of issues over here, Murph, I am. I

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: am neck deep in work and I can't get to

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: it because I got to talk to you for three

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: hours and you refer to this as a family invent

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: at the whole family gather. We've been keeping an eye

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: on the tree. It's been like a couple of days ago.

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: I had I had my camera. I was just sure

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: it was going to blow over. I mean, I'm going

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: to catch it on video. And today we woke up

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: and it had started leaning even further, and sure enough,

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: my wife did get it on video. So hey. Our

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: producer Jay Harris is on the line from his home

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: in Tunnel on the area. He asked, like two minutes ago, hey,

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: is the snow in there? And we said no, and

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: I just looked outside. It's snow and here now Steven Park,

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: it's not snowing here yet. Let's here. I'm like you,

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's it's it's not a nice day, right,

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: It's as we said, snow and here it's chili. It's whatever.

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: It's April twenty first. That's the problem here, Steve. Quite frankly,

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like it's April first or anything.

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: It's April twenty first. We don't need snow like this. Well,

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's forty degrees social distance. Social distancing's

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: easy enough when you when you're stuck inside your house,

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, and the weather's cretty, you can't get outside.

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: I got a yard that nobody will come to. I

49
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: can get outside and do stuff if the weather was nice.

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: And now there's no reason to even to step out

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: of your door. I have not. I will let you

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: know when I don't know. I'm just curious how long

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: it takes for that snowstorm to go from my house

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: to years three and a half miles away. I got

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: my tent flap open so I can see out of

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: my window. Yeah, Steven's in a tent. And is uh,

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: it's that your den? What would you call that room?

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: That's my office? His office? But you put a tenor

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: it is an absolute, isn't It knocks the echo down

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: because the you know, the ceiling is so high, and

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: it's it sounds like I'm in a water tank if

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't have this tent touch to me. So it's Tuesday.

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: We got a good three hour show today. We got

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Charles Davis and the NFL Network coming up at one

65
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,520

Speaker 1: great at that. Yeah, I'm happy for him. CBS a

73

00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: visit at the Senior Bowl and Mobile over several years,

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: and he was great talking about the prospects. He really

82
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: does his homework. I think I'm not mistaken. He was

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: part of the Senior Bowl broadcast on the NFL Network

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,920

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: favorites coming up at one thirty. Ten years ago. He

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: was Buffalo's first round pick. And I'm blown away that

88
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: it was ten years ago. C J. Spiller from Clemson,

89
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite players, coming on the

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: show with Us Live at one thirty today. CJ, just

91
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: on out yesterday, is going in the Clemson University Athletic

92
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Hall him Fame. He is a great guy in a

93
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: pretty good running back. So he had some pretty good

94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: years with the Bills. Yeah, he was. He had trying

95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: to get a very nice career with Buffalo in New Orleans,

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: with Seattle. He was in even with the Jets in

97
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City for a minute too. So it'll be nice

98
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: to listen and catch up with CJ ten years ago.

99
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: Can you believe he was a first round pick ten

100
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: years ago? Wow? You forget about that. The guy's going

101
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: in the Clemson Hall of Fame. They got they got

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: some guys. Yeah, and then Hall of Fame will get

103
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: better as the years moved along too. They really turned

104
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: it up in terms of producing NFL prospects. They got

105
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: some guys lined up to go in that whole fame

106
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: because they've they've been they've been killing it. Yeah, it

107
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: never was a Clemson fan. But one year again at

108
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. And this is probably five or six

109
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: years ago, maybe longer than that. I don't know. Um,

110
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: I think who's our coach? It might have been Rex.

111
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't know when was I don't know whenever, it

112
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: was five or six years at the Senior Bowl. CJ

113
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: had been with the Bills for a few years and

114
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's on the sideline and said

115
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl morning practice, and with him was Debo Sweeney,

116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: his coach, and the coaches. There were several Clemson prospects

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl. And I said, what are you

118
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: doing and he said, Coach Sweeney just said, habina car

119
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: with me. We're driving down to Mobile today. Had to

120
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: be four or five hour drive drove from Clemson, South

121
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Carolina down to Mobile to watch practice that day. It

122
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: was just cool. I thought that there's such a there's

123
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: a real sense of community among those Clemson players and

124
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: CJ's part of it with his coach, Debo Sweeney. It

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: was cool that they came down there to watch some

126
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: of the prospects at the Senior Bowl. I thought that

127
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: was real. I've always been impressed by that. Yeah, Dabo

128
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Sweeney has got a reputation of being a guy that

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: sees the world bigger than his own college football team.

130
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: That's hard to do. He's really respected for that, and

131
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons he's so successful

132
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: at Clemson is because he doesn't let Clemson football getting

133
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: to get in the way of him being a friend,

134
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: a colleague of other coaches, a friend to people in

135
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: and out of Clemson University, and certainly his players, guys

136
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: he has recruited players he has coached obviously um and

137
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: I think that one of the reasons Clemson has been

138
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: so successful under Dabo Sweeney is obviously Dabbo himself, but

139
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: the way he has done it. That little story you

140
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: just told about just saying, hey, let's go, we're getting

141
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: Let's get in the car and drive down there with

142
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: a guy who's you know, not even a part of

143
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: the program anymore, just an alumnus. That's pretty big. And yeah,

144
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: those things go a long way, and they and and

145
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: it really makes people gravitate towards a guy like Dabo,

146
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: and good for him. I think that's the culture he's

147
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: built in Clemson. It's a different type of thing that

148
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: they've built than they built here in Buffalo. Even both

149
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: are effective because both are in different places, different levels

150
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: of football, and they have to be different for that reason.

151
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: But man, I don't know if anybody's doing it better

152
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: than Dabo Sweeney right now. And that's a great little

153
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: story that illustrates why. Yep. We'll talk with CJ about that,

154

Speaker 1: It's look, that's an achievements thirty two of those teams,

164
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: and they are up against the job wise, both now

165
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: in the offseason and particularly in season when they're moving

166
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,280

170
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: talk with Jeff about that at two thirty. Let's face us,

171
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: even don't deny it. Everybody takes equipment guys for granted,

172
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: you know you did, and you probably still do, right,

173
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: not at all. You come on, I'm sure I still

174
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: a good friends with the guys who were the equipment

175
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: people when we were there, Dave Hojnowski and uh and

176
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: Randy Ribbick would he um and they were great, and

177
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: they the stuff they had to do that none of

178
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: us would even really think about. I mean, they got

179
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: to pack everything up loaded, getting they laid it all

180
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: out for us. And you know, one of the things

181
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: about being a professional football and professional sports in general,

182
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: when an athlete shows up to the stadium or to

183
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: wherever even to practice, you know when you're gonna go

184
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: out particularly in football, when it's it's gonna be a

185
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: dog fight and you're gonna you're gonna be physically combating

186
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: another player another person, you really kind of get keyed up,

187
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: and guys get serious. Their personalities change on game day

188
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: and over the game day weekend. My wife will tell

189
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: you there at the times when I was, you know,

190
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: you just come about Friday or Friday or certainly Saturday,

191
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: you kind of start getting this mentality that you're got

192
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: to be different. And the last thing anybody wants to

193
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: deal with when they get to a their game site

194
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: is having the stuff that they want to feel good

195
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: in their uniform and their equipment be wrong. And they

196
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: me Jim, Kelly Thurman, Thomas, Carl, will Garner, Chris Hey.

197
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: You go down the roster of any year you want

198
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: to play in, all forty seven or fifty three guys,

199
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: all of them take it really seriously what their stuff

200
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: needs to be, how it needs to be and get

201
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: it right. And those guys run the balance between the

202
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: rules and what allowed and also the personal relationship of

203
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: getting along with the everybody on a daily basis and

204
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: doing it. They it's a it's a it's a hard balance,

205
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: but it's real. I mean, it's a it's a personal relationship.

206
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Those guys are in the locker room every day. The

207
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: players know them, they are the coaches know them. They

208
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: are on the field with the players and coaches all

209
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the time, so they're part of the family. And they

210
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: take some. They take some real players put pressure on

211
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: them to get it right, to get their stuff right,

212
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's you know, do that every day and

213
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: then worry about all the other stuff you gotta worry

214
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: about about, you know, gatorade and coolers and towels and

215
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: and getting and moved to in front of it. And

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: everybody laughs, like ash, Just listen. They hear it when

217
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: it's not right, and they hear it. And you can

218
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: bet that if if somebody hears it enough, they'll get

219
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: somebody who will do it right, you know. But I mean,

220
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: it's it's a real pressure pack job because multimillion dollar

221
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: athletes who are throwing touchdowns in Super Bowls want it right,

222
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: and the guys who do it better get it right.

223
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: It's pressure on those guys and nobody appreciates them on

224
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: game day because everybody's thinking about other things. But man,

225
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: oh man, Jeff Missouri it's hard to do. It's a

226
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: hard job, and it's it's wide ranging as well, which

227
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: is the amazing part about it is how many things

228
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: they've got on their plate. A lot of people love

229
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: doing it, a lot of it's got to be something

230
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: you love doing. But man, oh man, it gets old fast,

231
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: if you ask me. Jeff Missouri will join us at

232
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: two thirty. The Bills the AFC equipment Staff of the

234
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: talk with Jeff about that. It's pretty good honor. We

235
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: are two days away from the NFL Draft. The Bills

236
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: don't have a first round here, but there will be

237
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: thirty two picks on Thursday night, starting at eight o'clock.

238
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,920

00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: night at seven to cover the Bills action. We don't

240
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: anticipate any action for the Bills in round one. Just

241
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: last week when it was with us, Brendan Being essentially

242
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: said that Brendon Bean said, hey, we're not liked he

243
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: move up in the first round cost too much. But

244
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: second round, third round they have a pick in each

245
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: and maybe moving around. So Friday night, seven o'clock will

246
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: be alive with our draft coverage right here on our

252
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: things after the draft two on Thursday and Friday. You

253
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: can catch said on the Bill's Facebook page and on

254
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: other social media platforms. Now the draft Yesterday, they had

255
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: a dry run of the draft working out some technical issues.

256
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: They had a two round practice session yesterday. Some early

257
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: technical issues including a two and a half in delay

258
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: for the Bengals to make their first pick. Earlier reports

259
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: said the delay was much longer than that. There was

260
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: also an issue with too many people on the call

261
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: not using a mute function. John Elway, the Bronco's president

262
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: of football operations, said no, no big issues. He said

263
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: everything was worked out. That's good, Steve. I'm glad they

264
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: had a couple of issues and worked them out today.

265
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I think that's it. That means should go smoothly Thursday night. Huh, Yeah,

266
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's gonna go smoothly. I mean that it's yeah,

267
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: most of them. There are thirty two guys on the call,

268
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: and some of them didn't know that they were supposed

269
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: to mute their mics, so it sounded like fifty guys

270
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: were talking at the same time. They're kept catching ambient

271
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: noise and all we've all done it. I mean good,

272
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: Can anybody forget to mute or unmute a call? Oh? Right,

273
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: you and I do it every day time, every day. Yeah,

274
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: so yeah, it'll it'll, it's gonna work smoothly. And and

275
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: you know it's easy too. How everybody thinks they run

276
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: this mock draft yesterday and the first thing out of

277
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: it was, hey, right off the top, the Bengals had

278
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: a two minute delay because there's a technical glitche it

279
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: was nothing they did or whatever, and everybody's going high.

280
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: They can't get it right down. Come on, there's gonna

281
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: be a problem. They got these are It's gonna take

282
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: a minute to get it right. That's why they practice it. Yeah,

283
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: that's what practice is about. So it's I'm pretty sure

284
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: guys are shrugging it off as they listen, We'll get

285
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: this right. It's and believe me. When you've got something

286
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: that is important as it is to these general managers,

287
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna make sure it gets done right. They had

288
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: their mock draft yesterday and it's probably good to go

289
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: from here on out for Thursday nights Round one. We're

290
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna get back to the draft at a moment. But

291
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: before we get to that, Seam, I want to talk

292
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: to you a little bit about the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's man,

293
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: the draft two days away. The Jaguars just seemed to

294
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: be imploding, you know, for whatever reason. Tom Coughlin has gone,

295
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: Doug Maron's a head coach, and the Caldwell as the

296
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: general manager. The Buffalo Native. Just a couple of things yesterday.

297
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: First of all, they released Marquise Lee, highly productive and

298
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: a very big draft pick for them a couple of

299
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: years ago, former USC standout wide receiver. I mean, if

300
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't this week, he'd be the number one story

301
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the draft is coming up. And

302
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: then there's the Yannick and Gockway issue with the son

303
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: of owner Shot Khan and Gockway and Tony Khan trading

304
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: tweets yesterday and Gockway told Tony Khan to stop hiding.

305
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: Cohn responded, and Gockway followed up with the claim that

306
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Con told him the Jaguars game against the Chargers was

307
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: his last in a Jaguars uniform. Look, I know it's

308
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: only the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it is troubling to see

309
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: a team with their issues right out in public like that,

310
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: isn't it. I don't I don't understand that team. I

311
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: don't understand the leadership of that team, and I really

312
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: don't understand what's going on down there with the Jaguars. Well,

313
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: it's always a mistake for a team to trade jabs

314
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: with one of its players on social media. Nothing about

315
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: it looks good for the team. And so yeah, I

316
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: agree that you stay out of that. If you're the team.

317
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: To the club, no matter what the player says in

318
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: public or on Twitter or on social media, Instagram, Facebook,

319
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: you name it, the clubs should not respond in any way,

320
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: shape or form to it. Let them let them blow

321
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: howl in the win. But you know, and when you

322
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: engage him, it looks like what this did, it looks

323
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: like it's bad look for the club. Players are unhappy

324
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: all the time. People understand that, But when the club responds.

325
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: It makes him look petty and less than together. Less

326
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: less than together, you know what I'm saying. So I

327
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: agree with you, Murphy. It looks bad. You should never

328
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: respond to that, no matter what your official title is

329
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: with the club. But once you do, because once you do,

330
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: there's no getting out of it. You're it's it's a

331
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: no win for the club. Yeah, a no win for

332
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: the club. I heard our friends at Good Morning NFL

333
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: talk about it today and something I don't know who

334
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: it was, but somebody on that show, the four main people, said, well,

335
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, uh Tony Kahn, the owner's son. He's a

336
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: young guy and he uses social media exclusively and he

337
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: does a lot of this and that's why he's out there.

338
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: And I thought, that's no excuse. I don't care what

339
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: you're in the habit of do. And if you're involved

340
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: in running the team, if you own the team, your

341
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: family owns the team, you kind of just gotta keep

342
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: your mouth shut. I agree with you on that steep,

343
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: don't you. It doesn't do any good. There's nothing to

344
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: be gained by being out there responding to whatever. In

345
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Gotquois saying yeah, because it first of all, it lets

346
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: him know that you took it personal. You know, it

347
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: got to you. Um, this angry player said what he

348
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: said and you didn't like it, and you're gonna you know,

349
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: you can't let it go. Um to me, the club

350
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: needs to have armor plating. You know. You're not not

351
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: thin skin, you know, and that's what this showed. Um. Yeah,

352
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: And Jacksonville's had some rough offseason. It looks it looks

353
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: bad for him, looks rough. They they're struggling to keep

354
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: it together. Their leadership has changed with Tom Coflin being

355
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: being let go. Uh. Now is not the time to

356
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: get into a squabble on social media with a player

357
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: who's disgruntled. Yeah. The other thing was the release of

358
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: Marquis Lee's second round pick in twenty fourteen, thirty ninth overall,

359
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: very talented college career, but he had injuries. He's now

360
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. He was gonna make six point

361
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: two five million in bass salary this year. But I

362
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: always got the feeling watching Marquis Lee and watching him

363
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: struggle again on the field, that he had good days

364
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: out of him and they just you know, he wasn't

365
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: counting a ton against the cap. I just think they

366
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: gave up on him, and maybe he gave up on

367
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: him too early. He only played six games and they

368
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: had three catches uh since signing a contract in March

369
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, missed twenty eighteen season the entire season,

370
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: and played six of the first eight games last year.

371
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: But it's a talent. I mean, I know he's been injured,

372
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: but that's a talent. I wouldn't I wouldn't have get

373
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: him up on him. I don't know, what do you think? Well,

374
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: I think that I think they're trying to change on

375
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: the fly a little bit. I think. And here's the

376
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: thing too, you know, in all of this, I don't

377
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: know what Doug Maroon thinks about all of it. I

378
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: know he didn't say anything, yeah, and I think that's

379
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: an indication of a who And it's funny too, because

380
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: I say, on one hand, you don't reply on social media,

381
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: but certainly somebody in Jacksonville would like to talk to

382
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: to Doug Marone to find out what the plan is

383
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: in general, even Dave Caldwell, you know, come out and say, Okay,

384
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: here's what we're doing. Yeah, we've had some you know

385
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: what I mean, address all these issues in public to

386
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: give some leadership and some direction to your fan base.

387
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: Let them know that no, no no, no, we got this

388
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: and here's why, and that it's that simple, that's your message,

389
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: and we have. It's been like a total black hole

390
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: of information except for the fact that of the moves

391
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: that they've made, and I think that's unusual, and I

392
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: think that's why fan bases and so what's going on

393
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: and they're not getting an answer? Yeah, weird, very weird Jacksonville.

394
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how they how their season

395
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: starts out with all the turmoil going on this offseason.

396
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: All Right, Twitter poll today, two days from the draft.

397
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about running back for

398
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. You talk about it. Yesterday The Buffalo News

399
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: called it not it was a glaring need to get

400
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: a running back this weekend. I disagree with that, but

401
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: there's no doubt the Bills would like to. I would

402
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: think add a running back somewhere. And that's the question

403
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: we put you on Twitter today. Here's our Twitter poll question.

404
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: What would you rather do if you were the Bills?

405
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: Would you rather draft a running back this weekend? Would

406
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: you rather trade for Leonard Fournette of the Jacksonville Jaguars

407
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: he's available as well, or see is there no need

408
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: to add a running back at this time? What do

00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: you think? Give us a call eight h three h

Speaker 1: responses on the tweet sheet, or you can vote in

413
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. Five hundred thirty fans have done that

414
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: so far fifty four percent and say have said so far,

415
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: draft a running back? Come on, here it comes this weekend.

416
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: You got the seven picks coming up. Draft a running back?

417
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: Dren't it? Twenty eight percent say trade for Leonard Fournette

418
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars. See a ten percent say no need

419
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: to add a running back at this time. My response team, okay,

420
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: draft a running back, and if you don't, okay, I

421
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: get it. Go ahead and draft a running back. Don't

422
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: do it before the fourth round. That would be my

423
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: response that I guess I would go under other drafted Well,

424
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: draft a running back, but don't do it early. Don't

425
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: do it second or third round. If it's a fourth

426
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: round beyond, Okay, I can handle running back there, But um,

427
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: what do you think, Steve? What would you do about

428
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: a running back for the bill. I've seen Leonard Fournette

429
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: play and he is the beast. If they trade for

430
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, he goes to the top of the depth Chartum.

431
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. I love I

432
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: like Devin Singletary a lot, but better players make you better.

433
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: And Leonard Fournette is a big, big running back who's

434
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: who can hit a home run. So if you're gonna

435
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: get Leonard Fournette, if you can get him for the

436
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: four less than five million bucks a year that he's

437
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: signed for, uh, I say do it. He will make

438
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: you better. Um. And I know a lot of people

439
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: say no, that puts that gives less carries to Devin Singletary. Well,

440
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: less carries for Devin Singletary because you've got a better

441
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: running back is a plus. Um. And I'm totally in

442
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: that kind of mode. And I don't I can't speak

443
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: to I've sat down on a production meeting with Leonard Fournette.

444
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: He seemed very nice. He seems very intelligent. Certainly we've

445
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: seen something from some of the things that have happened

446
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. He's got a wrong personality. But for me,

447
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: I think you put him in the right position and

448
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: the right culture like they have in Buffalo, and he

449
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: could help this football team a lot. I think he's

450
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: a starting caliber running back in the National Football League.

451
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: So if you want to get better running back, you're

452
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay to do it. You're not gonna

453
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: get better at running back drafting a guy in the

454
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: fourth round, at least probably not certainly, you might hit

455
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: a home run and get a guy unexpectedly who's like

456
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: a lot better than everybody thought he was. But I

457
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: know this, Leonard Fournette is a better running back. So

458
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: if you're trying to get better with twenty to twenty

459
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: five million dollars a salary cap space that the Bills

460
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: are walking into this draft with Leonard Fournette gets you better.

461
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: See I'm just screen first. They don't need a home

462
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: run at running back. They need a single. They need

463
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: a base hit single because they have a pretty good

464
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: running back already in Devin Singletary. I would not want

465
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: to pay the price in terms of draft picks trade

466
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette for draft picks, and I would not

467
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: want to pay his salary. I think they're okay at

468
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: run back with that, Let me ask you this. Yeah

469
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: what you said? What what after the fourth round? Yeah?

470
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: Drafty guy? Fourth, fifth or sixth? What if you trade?

471
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: What if you get Leonard Fournette for a fourth rounder?

472
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that's realistic. I don't think you would.

473
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: That's because it's a it's a great deal, right you

474
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: think Leonard Fournett's way better than a fourth rounder? Yeah, okay,

475
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: all right? I think it would take you know, a

476
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: second rounder to get mattered for that. Well, if and

477
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: then you gotta pay him a toun of money if

478
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: nobody's interested and you can get him from fourth, So

479
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: you'd make that deal though, Yeah, okay, as long as

480
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: that's what I would do, I would too. I would too, Yeah,

481
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: obviously I would. What do you think? Give us a call?

482
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: Eight O three five fifty toll free one eight eight

483
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty the bills? What would

484
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: they do? What's the right solution to the running back

485
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: need they have? Here's a call from John and Clarence. John,

486
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: go ahead, you'round the air, hi guys on this one.

487
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: I Steve. Unfortunately, I think I got a side with

488
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Murth because I just don't think four nets. I think

489
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: it'll cost him too much. And I think they can

490
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: get a reasonable backup running back, either through the draft

491
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: or a free agency picked somewhere. I just don't think Fournetts.

492
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be too much. So I

493
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: do think they're going to need some help. I think

494
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is great, but he's a small back and

495
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: he's just played for a very few amount of years,

496
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: and I think he may be one of those guys

497
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: that could get hurt and so you got to have

498
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: something there. But I don't think they need a four

499
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: net type running back as a backup. I think they

500
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: can do just as well with what's out there. Well,

501
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I don't think Leonard Fournette would

502
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: be a backup. I think he'd be the starter. But

503
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't want to pay I

504
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: don't want to give up next year's one and one

505
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: and two to get him. Obviously, we're talking about something

506
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: other than that. If you if it would take a

507
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: third rounder, a third fourth rounder? Fourth rounder? Yes, third rounder? Ah,

508
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: maybe you know what I mean. So I'm I'm kind

509
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: of with you. I don't want to overpay for him,

510
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: but I will say this, if you do get him,

511
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: you're better. Here's the thing. If the other thing the

512
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: cost involved in draft picks and salary money, it's also

513
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: what needs go unfilled if you trade away draft picks

514
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: to get Leonard Fournette, you know what I mean. Look,

515
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: they need I think they need more offensive lineman, young

516
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, young talented offensive line. Maybe if you trade

517
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette, you don't get a chance to do that.

518
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Um I think they can use younger wide receiver. I

519
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: think they need a pass rush specialist. Still, if you

520
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: trade away draft pick second or third rounder in particular,

521
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: you're out of that. You know, that's a cost that

522
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: you're paying to you, you know you. I don't know

523
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: that the need for a running back is as great

524
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: as what it would take to pay for Leonard Fournette.

525
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: Here's a call from J and his car. Hello, Jay,

526
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: you're on the air, Murf Steve, Good afternoon. Listen, guys,

527
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: uh I got to disagree with your murf. You're taking

528
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: a shot to win now you're acquiring Diggs. You're obviously

529
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: opening the window here for a two or three year

530
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: run with a lot of these guys still on the

531
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: rookie contracts. Singletary is one play away from getting hurt.

532
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: Not saying he's gonna, but if he does, excuse me,

533
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: does the cupboards bearer? You need to have another running

534
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: back in here, especially what you got a two year

535
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: deal left. Uh. The economics makes sense because at the

536
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: enp of a two or three year window here, you're

537
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to recalibrate the whole thing. T J. Elden

538
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: is on the roster is a backup. He is a

539
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: viable backup running back. I think, um, yeah, And anybody

540
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: can get hurt, right Stephan Diggs could get hurt them

541
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: where I don't know if that's a I don't know

542
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: if that's a realistic argument. Yeah, you can't. You can't

543
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: bring injuries into it, I mean, because that's all that's

544
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: all speculation. What we don't know is what the what

545
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: the exactly what the Jacksonville Jaguars are asking for and

546
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: who's willing to give whatever. So I think we're all

547
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: in agreement. Forte's a great player, truly a talented player,

548
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: and he's a number one running back. But if you

549
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: have to give too much, again, particularly in the environment

550
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: that the Bills find themselves now, they can afford him

551
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: at five million bucks or it's less than five million

552
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: bucks a year. But what will it take to get him?

553
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: They paid a lot of draft picks to get Stefon Diggs,

554
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: and if they start giving up this year's draft picks

555
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: for him, say if they can get like, can I

556
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: say him? If they can get him for a three

557
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: and a half round draft pick, maybe you do it.

558
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: And with your second and third round draft picks you

559
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: can still get offensive lineman or an offensive lineman and

560
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: an edge rusher. You know, then you know, then you're

561
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: not you're not hamstringing yourself and your ability to get

562
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: some contributors in the draft. But if you give him

563
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: your second rounder, yeah, I don't know, then then you're stuck,

564
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: right So I think that's too much. Leonard. Leonard Fournette's

565
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: better than Devin Singletary. But like everything, if you're gonna

566
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: get him on your team, you're gonna have to pay

567
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot, and you're gonna have to, you know, take

568
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: it from someplace else to get him on the field.

569
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this in a moment. We will

570
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: read some of your tweets from the tweet sheet. We'll

Speaker 1: and from outside Buffalo Toll three at one eight eight

573

Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. What would you rather do?

574
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: Draft a running back, trade for Leonard Fournette, or just

575
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: sit tight? Don't need to add a running back right now?

576
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Give us a call, let us know what you think.

577

582
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: and we've got a pretty good topic going on the

583
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, what would you rather do if you were

584
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: the Bills draft to running back this weekend? Would you

585
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: rather trade for Leonard Fournette Jacksonville or is there no

586
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: need to add a running back at this time? Fifty

587
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: three percent of you say you'd like to see the

588
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: Bills draft of running back. Twenty or thirty percent say

589
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: they should trade for Leonard Fournette. Let's get to some

590
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: of the tweets on the tweet sheet. Brought to you

591
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo

592
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: Bills you already, Steve. Here's Morgan on the tweet sheet says,

593
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: I would say draft a running back, but if they're

594
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: going to wait until round six or seven, I would

595
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: rather they trade that pick for Fournette. Morgan. They're not

596
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: going to get Leonard Fournette for a sixth or seventh

597
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: round pick, right, Steve, I mean that's not realistic. Well,

598
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: anything fourth round or higher, fourth, fifth, or sixth or seventh. Yeah,

599
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: i'd trade for him then, but yeah, not for anything

600
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: above that. I don't think, not at this point. Fourth

601
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: round or worse you mean worse you're lower. Yeah, yeah,

602
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll get them for a six or

603
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: seventh rounder. Let's be realistic. You gotta have some relationship

604
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: to realism here. Yeah, you can get him for seventh

605
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: round pick. Of course you'd like to have Leonard Fournette,

606
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's a I don't think that's realistic,

607
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Jeff says d other Jackson. If Jacksonville was looking to

608
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: unload Fournette for a late round pick six or seven,

609
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: he'd be a great role of the dice for one year.

610
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: But I would still consider drafting a running back if

611
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: the right player is there in the fourth or fifth

612
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: would like to be be the end of the Yelden era.

613
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: It's an era? Is it for t J? Heeldon? And look,

614
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: let me say this, Steven. I want to say this,

615
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: and I've been thinking about it even during the break.

616
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: I guess I hold Devin Singletary in a higher regard

617
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: than most fans and even you, I would think, Steve.

618
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: I think Devin Singletary was really solid and got better

619
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: as last year went along. Played twelve games total at

620
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: the end of the year, but he got better, and

621
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: he was very good in the in the playoff loss

622
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: in Houston. I want to see what Devin Singletary has.

623
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: I think he's a real talent, third round pick. He's

624
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: got some flaws in his game. He needs to get

625
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: better in the passing game and in a blitz pickups.

626
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: But I really think I want to see more Devin Singletary.

627
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: I would not really be interested in doing anything to

628
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: take Devin Singletary or to limit his touches. I really,

629
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I really believe that. I think he's a star in waiting.

630
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. There, I said, okay, yeah, okay, um, he's good,

631
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: very good. I love it. He's got elite vision. Um,

632
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: he makes guys. Miss, I agree with you. Um. He

633
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: had he not had that hamstring injury in Week two

634
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: that kept him out of two, three, four, five and

635
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: six games two, three, four, five and six, Um, he

636
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: would have had a much different season. And he would

637
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: have been the number one back probably earlier in the

638
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: year instead of Frank Gore. But um, and he and

639
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm and I'm not saying cut him. You know, I'm

640
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: not saying not put him on the team. I'm just saying,

641
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: if you've got a better guy, you got a better guy. Um.

642
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: And that's what we're in the business of. I think,

643
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, so, yeah, you get as many

644
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: good players as you can and give him a chance.

645
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's all I'm saying. I like Devin Singletary too,

646
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna let my affection for one player

647
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: hinder me from getting a really good player that will

648
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: help us. It's an option for the Bills to trade

649
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette. Over the last day or two, it's

650
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: reported that Jacksonville has circled back with teams about a trade.

651
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: In Rappaport reported yesterday the jackson had trade talks around

652
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette for more than a month. They circled back

653
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: with teams in the last three days. No takers yet,

654
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: but it looked in Rappaport says it looks like Fournette

655
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be headed out of Jacksonville. Sports Line, which

656
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: is a sports betting site, had odds and which team

657
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: has the best odds of land Fournette and the trade

658
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: before the season. According to sports Line, they say the

659
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: Bills are the favorite to land to Leonard Fournette, former

660
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: fourth round pick at age twenty five. A pretty good

661
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: year last year eleven under two yards two hundred and

662
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: sixty five carries seventy six catches, but he's had issues.

663
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: He's had injury miss half of the twenty eighteen and

664
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: there's questions anyway. I don't know if they're rooted in reality,

665
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: but questions about, you know, his work ethic and his maturity.

666
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: I think i'd want to see some answers to that

667
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: before I traded for him. Steve, Yeah, I think I

668
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: think there's some questions. I think one of the things

669
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: that I would want to know is were his issues

670
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: there because he was unhappy in Jacksonville because of the

671
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: way things were run there and the way things were

672
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: being handled there, whether with his playtime or whether offensive decisions,

673
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: play calling, offensive a lot, whatever it was, position, coach, whatever.

674
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: I want to know why he seemed less than happy

675
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: with how things were going in Jacksonville, and see what

676
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: those answers were. And if the answers were what I

677
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: wanted to hear, then I wouldn't have an issue given

678
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: him the chance. But I'm with you. Certainly it wasn't

679
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,239
Speaker 1: all honky dory there in Jacksonville. But but let's not

680
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: forget the guy who was running things in Jacksonville has

681
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: real reputation for treating players less than how they want

682
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: to be treated. Tom Coughlin almost lost his job in

683
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: New York before he changed tax and then finally got

684
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: a chance to win two Super Bowls with those guys.

685
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: But it was the players who rebelled most native notably

686
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: Michael Strahan and Eli Manning, who said, listen, this ain't

687
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna fly. Tom Coughlin does not listen very well to

688
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: what players say. He doesn't give them the level of

689
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: respect for what they for them knowing what they're doing,

690
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. He's a he's a

691
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: disciplinarian in such a manner that has put puts players off.

692
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: And that's who was in charge when Leonard Fournette came

693
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: in the league. He's not there anymore, and he's sharp.

694
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: He hasn't been there. He hasn't been gone for that long.

695
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: And you're citing ancient history when you talk about these

696
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: problems with the Giant, don't you. I'm just saying, that's

697
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: that's who Tom Coughlin is, and he's running the show

698
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: down there. He's on the practice field every day, or

699
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: he was on the practice field every day. But that's

700
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: when these problems came about with Leonard Fournette was two

701
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: years ago with Tom Coughlin at the Helm. So I

702
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: haven't heard he had you said it yourself. He rushed

703
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: for almost twelve hundred yards this year, So I don't

704
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: know what his problems are this now, but I want

705
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: to hear what they are. Yeah, I would do some investigation.

706
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure the bills will. What else you got some

707
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: you got to tweet? Cheat opened up in front of

708
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: their Steve, Yeah, here we go. Um. I would prefer

709
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: Leonard FOURD And this is from Matt from mout I

710
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: would prefer Leonard Fournette. He's an elite, proven commodity. Josh

711
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: needs game change. Josh Allan needs game changing playmakers all

712
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: around him. Well, I liked I like Leonard Fournette. I've

713
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: already said it. I'd also like um Devin Singletary, but

714
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm not listen. I think Devin's I think Josh's got

715
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: enough weapons on him, whether it's Devin Singletary or Josh Fournette.

716
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean Devin Singletary or Leonard Fournette.

717
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Josh has gotten enough weapons around him. He's gonna have

718
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: to play better, no question about it. Leonard Fournett's a

719
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: different type of back than Devin's Singletary as well. They

720
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: both do a lot of the same things. But Leonard

721
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: Fournette's big, He's he'sible a lot bigger than and than

722
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, So it would be a different type of back.

723
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: But elite proven. Well, he's proven. He might be a

724
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: half a step away from elite. But like again, like

725
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: I said, the atmosphere in Jacksonville, I don't think was

726
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: conducive to his ultimate success emotionally and attitude wise. I

727
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: think he was fighting against it the whole time he

728
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 1: was in Jacksonville, and I want to know the reason

729
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: why before I trade for him and give him five

730
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: million bucks. Malk says, Josh needs game changing playmakers all

731
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: around him. Is the running back a game changing playmaker?

732
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking? We're talking We're talking

733
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: about a league which is de emphasized running backs. The

734
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: Bills have a pretty good one and ran the ball

735
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: of time last year. What are you gonna do? If

736
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: you get Leonard Fournette, you're gonna run it more often.

737
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that they want to do that. I

738
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: don't know they want their offense to look like that.

739
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you if in my opinion, the two best

740
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: running backs last year in the NFL were Derek Derek

741
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: Henry at the end of the season, but also was

742
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: a kid in in the Giants uh sa Quon Barkley

743
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: and McCaffrey down in Carolina. Say Quon Barkley and McCaffrey.

744
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: Neither one was in the playoffs. They both had great years.

745
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: But McCaffrey, I hear you, and I think McCaffrey's great.

746
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: I'd look at him more of a multi purpose back,

747
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, as a receiver and a back I wouldn't

748
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: classify him just as a running back, but go ahead.

749
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, you're right, Murph. Those guys were as

750
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: good as they are as they are along with Derrick

751
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: Henry and Derrick Henry. What in the second half of

752
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: the season, when when Ryan Tannehill took over and started completing,

753
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, seventy percent of his passes, it still was

754
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: more about Ryan Tannehill than it was Devin's. I mean,

755
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Certainly they leaned on him in the playoffs.

756
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: He made some great runs and he was always productive.

757
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: But Ryan Tannehill was the difference in the offense in Tennessee,

758
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: and that allowed Derrick Henry to take off. So I'm

759
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: with you, Murph. The running back spot is big, it's

760
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: it's it's important, but it's not the difference maker for

761
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: an offense. The quarterback spot is, yeah, and he's got playmakers.

762
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: Does he have enough? We're gonna find out. We're gonna

763
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: take a break, we're gonna come back with more and

764
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: more discussion about this on the phones, and we'll get

765
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet. What would you rather do

766
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: if you were the Bills, would you rather draft a

767
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: running back? Make a trade for Leonard Fournette or leave

768
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: it alone. You know they got enough, don't need to

769
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: add a running back At this night, Full Night's Open,

Speaker 1: fifty goal free from Outside Buffalo one eight eight by

772
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. So here we

773
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: go talking about running backs today on the show, it

774
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: is one Bills, John Murphy and Steve Tasker. A couple

775
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: of days before the draft, what would you do if

776
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: you were the Bills about running back? Is it a

777
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: glaring need? Should they draft one? Should they trade for

778
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette? Do they not even have to worry about it?

779
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call from Joe in Rochester. Hello, Joe,

780
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. Go ahead a little

781
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: murf Hello, Steve, thank you for taking that call. Sure, sure, hey, guys.

782
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: I have a very strong opinion on this issue. And

783
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: it's a very simple answer. And that answer is you

784
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: draft Jonathan Taylor at number fifty four overall in the

785
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: second round. And the reason is this kid is will

786
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: be a bell Cow player. His collegian production was off

787
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: the chart, and he instantly solved that running back issue,

788
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: and you're a first round talent in the second round.

789
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: Not only does he help your offense, he certainly helps

790
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: your defense by keeping the defense off the fields. He

791
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: will help him ball control. And you talk about complimentary football.

792
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is your guy number fifty four overall. You're

793
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 1: talking about Jonathan Taylor from Wisconsin, right, Yes, sir, Steve,

794
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: that's correct. Yeah. What do you think about Jonathan Taylor?

795
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: The fact that he carried the ball nine hundred times

796
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin? Do you think that bothered that Bobby at all?

797
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: You know, he has a lot of you know, he certainly,

798
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: but but I look at the productivity is off the chart,

799
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: and I also look at you know, DeAndre Swift will

800
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: be off the board. JK. Dobbins probably off the board.

801
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: This kid Taylor will fall into your lap at fifty

802
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: four overall and you pull the trigger, no question, he's sure.

803
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a legitimate second round talent. You share

804
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: somebody and the bill's gotta wait if they wait till

805
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: fifth before that's two thirds of the way through the

806
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: second round. You think he'll be there. I think you

807
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: will be there, Murph, And I think that's your guy,

808
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: no question, Because he instantly helps your team immediately. It's

809
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: what we really need as a compliment to single theory.

810
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: You know, we need two guys, and Taylor is your guy.

811
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 1: He will be a bell cow player. All right, that's cool.

812
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: I agree. I'll tell you this though. I know his

813
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: production was off the charts, but if you give me

814
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: the ball nine hundred times, I'm going to gain a

815
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: thousand yards too. So you know, I'm so he carried

816
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: it three hundred times a year for three years at Wisconsin.

817
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: I think I'm trying to remember the scouting report and

818
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the down You say that, wow, that's

819
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 1: really good. Well it is, but you know, running backs

820
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: only got so much life in him, and to use

821
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: it all up. It was conson and the big ten

822
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: maybe a problem, but his and if you're going to

823
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: give it to him three hundred times, the kid better

824
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: get a lot of yards. It was conson. He better

825
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: get a lot of yards at Division one football if

826
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna dominate or play really well to

827
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: the next level. So he's certainly among the guys you

828
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: got to think. If he's there, certainly he's on your

829
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: list to take. And of course, if Swift or Dobbins

830
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: is there. Obviously they're the same guy. And obviously Joe

831
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: from Rochester thinks if Swift or Dobbin are there, they're

832
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: even better grabbed than this guy. So we'll see, we'll see.

833
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would go number fifty four

834
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: running back. I think there might be another position that

835
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: I'd rather get a guy at. But you know we're

836
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: talking running back. So there you go. If you want

837
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: to grab the guy at fifty four taken, would you

838
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: trade the set that pick fifty four for Leonard Fournette

839
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: and you're gonna tell me that this guy's Jonathan Tayner's

840
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: going to be better than Leonard Fournette. I don't know.

841
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: I'd have to see that. I don't think the Bills

842
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: are desperate for a running back. I've said that, but

843
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: nobody's listening, not even you, was talking about running back.

844
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about all this stuff, right, I mean,

845
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: you're right right running backs down the list for me?

846
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: Me too, I have said I have said not that

847
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, so why did you put the Twitter poll out?

848
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: But I've said this, They're gonna get a guy. How

849
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: they get him. We'll tell you about how they're gonna

850
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 1: use me if they draft him at fourth round, fifth round,

851
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: sixth round, Like you're like, you're saying, Murph, he's not

852
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: gonna play in front of Devin Singletary. If they get

853
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: him at fifty four, he may. Yeah. And even if

854
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: they drafted, they don't need to have somebody playing in

855
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: front of Devin Singletary. They have other needs. They have

856
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: other needs they can address at fifty four or earlier

857
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: in the second round. That's what I'm saying. Let's go

858
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: to a Tom in Schenectady. Hello time, welcome to the show.

859
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello, how are you great? Great?

860
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: Thank you. I can pull the trigger and make the trade,

861
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: maybe your third pick, maybe a sixth and maybe something

862
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: next year per format. Grab that Carol Taylor, that linebacker

863
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: out of Tennessee, the kid. The kid missed a couple

864
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: of games. He's under the radar, but he can come

865
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: from both sides, so he can spell Hughes and Addison.

866
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: Fournetts hasn't had a bulk of carries over his career.

867
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,479
Speaker 1: Probably got fresh legs and look on a bad team.

868
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: He put up sixteen hundred yards to offense. He could

869
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: be your bell cow and that'll save singletary bird a

870
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: few years and lbar through change of pace kind of

871
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: back and with the ball, who knows what kind office

872
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: he might go with. Put him both on the field

873
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: at the same time for this type of So give

874
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 1: me the price you're willing to pay for Leonard Fournette again.

875
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: Say that again. I'm saying maybe a third this year

876
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: in a six that Cutton to entice them, because they're

877
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: gonna be getting offers from these other schools current out

878
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: of the schools, give you other jeeves that, um, we're

879
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna be willing to go for it. And you know

880
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: now now you've got three solid running backs. You know

881
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm the team, and if one goes down unfortunately, then

882
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: you you still got two solid running backs in there.

883
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: And if they want another one, throw in us. I

884
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: don't know will picks next year? Yeah, okay, all right,

885
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: So I think a third and a six this year

886
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: is a little too much for Leonard Fournette, although you're

887
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: getting a starting running back. If I'll tell you this, though, Murph,

888
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: if they give a third and six for a Leonard Fournette,

889
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: he's he's the guy. You have to give him the ball.

890
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: You have to put him in on first and second

891
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: and third down, and Devin Singletary does exactly what he

892
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: did at the beginning of this last year. He's the

893
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: compliment back now, I don't I don't have a problem

894
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: doing that, except for the fact that that's a lot

895
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: of draft capital to pay and a big nut to

896
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: pay a running back four four point seven million bucks,

897
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: so he had better be really good for a third

898
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: to sixth and the money. I don't think they need.

899
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: They're not in desperate need of a running back. But

900
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: I've said that now a number of times, and I've

901
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: repeated in the number of times. All Right, we're gonna

902
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: break here, we come back. We've got a special guest,

903
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: one of our favorites, Charles Davis from NFL Network. We'll

904
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: ask about this running back question. We'll ask him a

905
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: round a variety of topics. Charles Davis from NFL Network

906
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,920

Speaker 1: Denver Broncos director of football Operations. He says the I

924
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: Department in his group were heroes in the run up

925
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: to the draft. They went through a drive run of

926
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: the draft yesterday, a two round practice session. Some early

927
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: technical issues, including the two and a half minute delay,

928
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: but it all worked out. Jacksonville Jaguars ready to part

929
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: ways with wide receiver Marquis League. He's battled injuries throughout

930
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: his career. Former second round pick turned twenty eight year

932

933
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: and Goquay frustrated over the fact that the Jaguars said

934
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,800

935
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,239

Speaker 1: team's senior vice president of football operation, DeAndre Hopkins, Telensports

937
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: illustrated he had no relationship at all with head coach

938
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien during their six years together with the Houston Texans.

939
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: Hopkins was traded to the Arizona Cardinals a couple of

940
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: months ago, and he told the magazine he knew he

941
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: had to get out of the situation. And Tom Brady

942
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: was spotted working out at a closed Tampa park. A

943
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: park official asked him, what's going on while you're working out,

944
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: and then realize it was Brady. Florida currently under stay

945
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: at home orders, so recreational activity outdoors is permitted as

946
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,080

955
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: Charles Davis, John Murphy, Here was Steve Taster. Thanks coming

956
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 1: on with us today. Thanks for having me, guys, Hope

957
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: you're doing well. And uh, I gotta kick out of

958
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: that security guard at the park. I'm just imagining him

959
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: were coming up on Tom Brady and realizing it. And

960
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: when I see Brady work out. You guys have seen

961
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: the tapes. He often has on a helmet and shoulder

962
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: pads when he's going through drills. So I can't imagine

963
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: if if he was dressed like that, if the guy

964
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: rolled up to him like what kind of nutcases out here?

965
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: In a helmet and oh hey, Charles, let me let

966
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: me congratulate you on your on your new gig with CBS.

967
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna love working for that company I did.

968
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: It was fun and congratulations on that. What do you

969
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: know about the schedule for this offseason? Was CBS is

970
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: gonna have you do? If anything? And and are you

971
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to that? Steve? I'm you know, as they say,

972
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: until everything is absolutely official, you know, nothing's official. So

973
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,479
Speaker 1: if it does go in that direction, I'm ecstatic about

974
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: the opportunity and a chance to do that if it

975
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: needs we get to that final part, which you know,

976
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: we're hoping we'll find out something the next week or so.

977
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: But so far about scheduling, I think everyone's in the

978
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: same spot. I think you guys are probably just like us.

979
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: We're all trying to figure it out right. We don't

980
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: know exactly what model schedule will be operating under. Because

981
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: you know, John, Steve, do you guys know from all

982
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: of your experience coaches, organizations they have schedules that they said,

983
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: but in situations like this they usually have a plan

984
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: at B, C, D and E. We're just not sure

985
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: which one we're going to operate under. Good point, you

986
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: do though, that you'll be doing the Path through the

987
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: Draft on NFL Network tomorrow and or today and tomorrow.

988
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: What's that show all about? And what's left to be

989
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: said about this draft just two days from now, Charles,

990
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: that's a great point. I love the second part of

991
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: your question. What's left to be said? I think a

992
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: lot of it is still rehashing and all of us

993
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, I know, what's going to come

994
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: down the pipe. You know, we're all, look, let's let's

995
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: just be honest about it. All of us as humans,

996
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: especially in the job we're in, we want to have

997
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: the information before anyone else does. We want to be

998
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: able to impart it out there because we're the ones

999
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: who seem to be closest to it and are operating.

1000
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: We're in it and we don't know. I mean, that's

1001
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: that's the best part about it. That right now is

1002
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot of smoke. We don't know the rumors, we

1003
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know if this is right. It's too dropping. Is

1004
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: justin Herbert coming up. It's God and Love going to

1005
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: go in the first round because Jalen Hurt sneak in.

1006
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: That's just the quarterbacks. Then we came to figure out

1007
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: which receivers number one, will we get six in the

1008
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: first round, will we have the rip of offensive tackle.

1009
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: We're rehashing all of that, but each day, some hot

1010
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: rumor comes through that may take us make us have

1011
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: a different look at how we're how we're talking about

1012
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: this draft so far. So those are types of things

1013
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: we'll be doing. So I can't wait to see it

1014
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: all come to Fruition and Ursday night. Probably we can't

1015
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: get here fast enough forever. Yeah right, let me talk

1016
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: about the latest wild rumor. The Giants are actually having

1017
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: virtual meetings with quarterbacks after they've got Daniel Jones in

1018
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: the room. What do you think is there anything to

1019
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: be made of the Giants flirting with that In the

1020
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: top five? I think, Steve, I think that it's Max

1021
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: of New England, New England, New England. And what I

1022
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: mean by that is, look at number three Detroit, they're

1023
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: ruled by New England guys GM and head coach for

1024
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: the Giants David Getleman, the GMS of Massachusetts Guy and

1025
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: Joe Judge came from the Patriots. And then at number

1026
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,959
Speaker 1: five Brian Flores is running the Dolphins as the head coach.

1027
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is those guys have learned

1028
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: in the past that you do quarterback work in every

1029
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: single draft, on all the top quarterbacks, because you never

1030
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: know down the road if there's a chance to acquire one.

1031
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: You may get ready for him in the playoffs. You

1032
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: may do ever. And this smacks of Joe Judge in

1033
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: his New England background, working his way through all the

1034
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks. And if someone is crazy enough in the

1035
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: league to think they're actually flirting with one, maybe they'll

1036
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: come up and make a big offer to get into

1037
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: four to try and get someone that they want. I

1038
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: can't imagine why you would even think that, but who knows.

1039
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 1: In this league, you definitely know what's going to happen.

1040
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: But it feels to me like you're doing more homework

1041
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: than he's doing anything else. Live on the Line with

1042
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: NFL Network canalyst Charles Davis, Charles, what do you think

1043
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: will happen with the early quarterbacks? Not Borrow, but with

1044
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: Tua and with Herbert? Are the Dolphins locked into getting

1045
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: tour or do they have something else in mind? At

1046
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: five thirty things? Yeah, good, good question. John. If you

1047
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: would ask me this probably four months ago, three months ago,

1048
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: probably would have said, I'm leaning hard towards Tuah in

1049
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. You know, I think you're

1050
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: reading the same things I'm reading. You're talking the same

1051
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: people I mean, we're talking to similar people. It seems

1052
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of momentum for Justine Herbert to

1053
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: be that so called And I'm doing air quotes right now.

1054
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: Safe choice at quarterback because of the injuries. And isn't

1055
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: it interesting for all of us that it's Miami that

1056
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: has to make a decision on a quarterback with an

1057
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: injury history and a quarterback with no injury history. And

1058
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: the last time they chose Dante Culpepper and not Drew Brees.

1059
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: Will will history repeat itself? Will they get it right

1060
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: this time? Who knows? But I am in a firm bok.

1061
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm a firm belief that the Dolphins are going to

1062
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: pick a quarterback with their first pick. I don't care

1063
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: what other noises out there that they can wait, they

1064
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: can go to next year. Can you imagine them going

1065
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: to the podium after this draft and now so they're

1066
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: their fan base that they decided to wait till next

1067
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: year to get a quarterback. I can't even Yeah, what

1068
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: about what would happen if Trevor Lawrence was in this draft?

1069
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that we'd be beating the boo, We'd be

1070
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: beaten the table. Or Trevor Lawrence or Joe Burrow. That's

1071
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: what we'd be talking right now. Tooa would be in

1072
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: that same conversation to me without the injury history. But

1073
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: I've got to put it in there because it happened,

1074
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: right we know the injuries are there, so I'm not

1075
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna play the hypothetical. What if he wasn't injured, doesn't matter.

1076
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: He was injured. We would be fighting it out between

1077
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: Burrow and Trevor Lawrence, and we'd be on Burrow for

1078
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: what he did last season and Lawrence for what we

1079
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: expect him to be because of his gifted how gifted

1080
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: he is as a thrower. I was lucky enough last

1081
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: summer to watch in shorts Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert

1082
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: throw next each other with about twenty other top quarterbacks

1083
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: around the country. I'm not saying twenty in the drafts,

1084
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: staying around the country, and it was easily a difference

1085
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: with those two throwing the ball at where I was

1086
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: as compared to everyone else. So if you think Herbert

1087
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: can throw the football by the way, I thought Lawrence

1088
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,959
Speaker 1: threw it better. So this is what you're getting coming

1089
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: along the kid who looks more like the prototypical quarterback

1090
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: with size. That's what the fight would be, whether you

1091
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: like Burrow and which would you got there or Lawrence?

1092
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: As you're betting on the come with Charles Davis from

1093
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: NFL Network. Charles, did you spend time at the Senior Bowl?

1094
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: He did the broadcast right, the game broadcast. Yeah, yeah,

1095
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: I was looking yeah, Lucky spend the week down in

1096
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: good old feel Who from the Senior Bowl are you

1097
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: looking at, particularly in this week in the draft? I mean,

1098
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: who do you think it would be the standout player

1099
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: from the Senior Bowl that will be the earliest drafted

1100
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: player this weekend? Well, I think Herbert probably will be. Justin. Herbert,

1101
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback out of Oregon. He surprised all of us

1102
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: and came to the Senior Bowl. I think a lot

1103
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: of us thought he wouldn't be there, but he showed

1104
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: up and went through the week. He felt like he

1105
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: had some questions to answer, and he had a very

1106
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: good week at the Senior Bowl, culminating with being you know,

1107
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: game MVP etter. So give him the credit for showing up.

1108
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: A lot of the top guys, you know they're gonna say, hey,

1109
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't need to and I don't fight them on that.

1110
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: But for Justin Herbert, he heard the whispers. He knew

1111
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: that people were saying, Hey, your leaderships in question, your consistency,

1112
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: your accuracy, what's this, what's that? And he showed up

1113
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: and put it all on display for an entire week.

1114
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: So I think day he will probably be the highest

1115
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: guy drafted. I'm gonna give you a guy that's a

1116
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: little bit off the radar because he's a defensive tackle

1117
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: and we don't talk about it much, but I thought

1118
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: he had a very good week at the senior ball

1119
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: Mesta Von Hamilton from Ohio State. I thought he was excellent.

1120
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: Darren was terrific in the ball game. So keep an

1121
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: eye out for a guy like that, probably going Day two,

1122
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: which is rounds two and three, and we'll add to

1123
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: someone's lineup coming out. But again, we didn't talk about

1124
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: it much because he wasn't a quarterback or receiver or whatever.

1125
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that I've got my eye on. Now.

1126
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: The Bills don't have any pressing needs in this draft

1127
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: that they've kind of filled most of the holes, had

1128
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: a really strong roster coming into the offseason. They also

1129
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: it's a good thing because they don't have a first

1130
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: round pick they pick their first pick at number fifty four,

1131
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: Is there a guy you could see perhaps or a

1132
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: value pick that you could come in that the Bills

1133
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: could grab that Maybe that doesn't have the pressure to

1134
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: start right away for the Bills, but down the line

1135
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,479
Speaker 1: could develop into something special. I think, you know, Steve,

1136
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: I think if you look at the running back crop,

1137
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: because as you said, it's not a president that Devin Singletary,

1138
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: who I absolutely loved coming out, and I love him

1139
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: even more now that he's in the league. You know,

1140
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: I think t J. Yelden is a backup right now.

1141
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,959
Speaker 1: But there they there. I think a ton of really

1142
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: good runners in this draft, although we're not going to

1143
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: say it early or or anyone like that, and I

1144
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: don't think that they'll go super high in this draft,

1145
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: but I think maybe maybe two in the first round,

1146
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: more likely one, and then after that we begin the

1147
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: run on running backs. You have one little literation there,

1148
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be a bunch of guys.

1149
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: So if you've got to lock in on a running

1150
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: back at fifty four, I think there'll be a lot

1151
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: of choices in that area, including if you get to

1152
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: the second round, could Adopton Taylor from Wisconsin be there. JK.

1153
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: Dobbins from Ohio State, can makers Florida State? Do you

1154
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: want a bigger plus size model? A? J. Billin from

1155
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: Boston College. I love daf Moss from Utah. There are

1156
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: a lot of injury questions about him if medical clears him.

1157
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: A ton of production at Utah, although he and Jonathan

1158
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: Taylor have a lot on their odometer, a lot of

1159
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: carries during their college career. Hey, yeah, charge, you walked

1160
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: right into our Twitter poll question today. We're asking Bills

1161
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: fans what would you rather do if you were the

1162
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: Bills draft a running back? Would you rather trade for

1163
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, which is talked about a little bit, or

1164
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: is there really no need to add a running back

1165
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: right now? What do you think? I'm always big on

1166
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: adding another runner just because of the nature the position.

1167
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, how many guys get through it unscathed, right,

1168
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: That's why runners. You know, the average NFL career is

1169
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: what three years, let's just call it three. I don't

1170
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: know what the latest number is on that for runners

1171
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: is less than that? You know, too many hits, too

1172
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: many things going on. I would go into the draft

1173
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: and get my own guy. I would not think very

1174
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: hard about trading for Leonard Fournette. He is not the

1175
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: guy that got a top ten pick for Jacksonville. Has

1176
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: not produced to that level. You're gonna have to give

1177
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: up a draft choice, although I think it'd be a

1178
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: late round draft choice in order to get him. I

1179
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: would go ahead and get my own guy and develop

1180
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: him that way. I mean, I have not seen that

1181
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: production to where I'm going, Okay, if I get him, boy,

1182
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm you're getting another question mark. I'd go ahead and

1183
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: draft my own guy and develop him that way. What

1184
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: do you think the problems in Jacksonville with Leonard Formatte?

1185
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Where did they come from? Was it Leonard not being happy?

1186
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Was it something else? Was the way he was used?

1187
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: What do you think the problems were that Leonard Fournette

1188
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: didn't thrive in Jacksonville or didn't seem to. Yeah, I

1189
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: would say there's got to be a combination in not

1190
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: having talked with anyone there, you know, it'd be a

1191
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: little bolly for me to say it's exactly this, but

1192
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: you hear, we read, we you know, when we talk

1193
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: to people all the time, there just seemed to be

1194
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: some dysfunction within all of it, because to me, it

1195
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: can't be an accident that a number of guys have

1196
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: been unhappy there all right, So you can't just immediately say, well,

1197
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: kid didn't work hard, or he was this, or he

1198
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: was that. Look at the number of guys. It's not

1199
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: just Jalen Ramsey forcing his way out of town. You

1200
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: got Yannick and got Way going back and forth with

1201
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the senior vice president of operations about get me out

1202
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: of here, and he's like, we will if we get

1203
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: the right value. And they're doing it on Twitter. You know,

1204
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: a J Boyer was not unhappy to be traded to

1205
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: to be set to Denver. Okay, we've got we've got

1206
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Fournette who who's been unhappy there? I mean, you just

1207
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: go right down the line. You know. That's why you

1208
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: wonder everything that's happening there and what has gone on?

1209
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: Do they do they get a fresh start? Now, if

1210
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: they get a clean sweep, would it be better? So

1211
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: it's gotta go both ways. But I know it's easy

1212
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: to look at it and say the players unhappy, But

1213
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: I think in this case, I think both sides are

1214
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: probably culpable about what's going on. Okay, thanks for that

1215
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: one of the interesting things about this draft the line.

1216
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: A little while back, the Bills drafted Antoine Winfield Senior

1217
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: in the first round, and this year, Antoine Winfield Junior

1218
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: may become the first part of the first father's son

1219
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: duo in NFL history to both be drafted in the

1220
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: first round. Do you think that'll happen for Antoine Winfield

1221
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Junior this year? You know, it wouldn't shock me if

1222
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: it would. It absolutely would not, because when I watched

1223
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield Junior, remember senior, who knows Steve you know

1224
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: him quite well, corner one of the toughest guys you're

1225
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna find. Well Son just just the jeans are exactly

1226
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: the same, except he's much more of a safety and

1227
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: he plays with tremendous instincts. You know, we use those

1228
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: terms sometimes ad nauseum, but he is a ball magnet.

1229
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: He is around it, He diagnoses well, he makes plays.

1230
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: He's a short tackler, and boys, he made some plays

1231
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: over the years for Minnesota to save games back to

1232
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: back years. I believe against Fresno State he made game

1233
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: saving you know, pass breakups and or interceptions. Big play

1234
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: against Penn State this year to preserve a victory down

1235
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: the stretch, although he played well through the higher game.

1236
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: I just love his instincts and when I watch him play,

1237
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: I think of Tymer and Matthew. I think of the

1238
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: honey Badger and how he can be used, how aggressive

1239
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: he is, and how smart he is about how he

1240
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: plays the game and being around the ball. A first

1241
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: round pick would not be out of line for him.

1242
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Some maybe he may get pushed to the second round

1243
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: just based on how this draft may fall, but he's

1244
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: he's got to meet first round talent. He's one of

1245
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: my favorite players in the draft. If you want to

1246
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: succare with Charles Davis, NFL Network Candilis Charles and your

1247
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,439
Speaker 1: latest mock draft, you had the Patriots with the twenty

1248
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: third pick going to quarterback, going with Jordan Love from

1249
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Utah State. Yeah, um, what do they look at him

1250
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: as a development of prospect and going with Stidham? Do

1251
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: you think at quarterback this year? What do you see there? Yeah?

1252
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I would I would say that if they did indeed

1253
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: make that draft. Although I'll be honest with you, John,

1254
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of confidence in that pick

1255
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: because one of we ever seen New England pick a

1256
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: first round quarterback, you know, Garoppolo. Garoppolo was a second

1257
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: round guy. They just spend They just have not spent

1258
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: that kind of capital. And you guys probably saw it

1259
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in one of those you know,

1260
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: virtual pressors, Bill Belichick drolly talking about, yeah, I know,

1261
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: quarterback whatever, but I still a number in Matt Tassel

1262
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: and we want to eleven and five with him, you know,

1263
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: so you know, you know how he is. You're not

1264
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna lend you anything on that, but but often you know,

1265
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: if you're talking about free you're trading. I think Andy

1266
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: Dalton's contract is too big. I think you look at

1267
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, there's no real money there for doing with that.

1268
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Although I think that'd be an intriguing starting point, start

1269
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: over point for him. I don't think Cam Newton fits

1270
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: there at all, you know, and what they're trying to

1271
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: do and how they would run off at So those

1272
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: free agent quarterbacks don't seem to have or trade. The

1273
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: guys you could trade don't seem to really good. So

1274
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: you got to get into the draft. So I kind

1275
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: of gave him Jordan Love. Although I think Peter King,

1276
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: you guys probably saw it yesterday. Had an intriguing New

1277
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: England moves up as two of falls and they get

1278
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: him in thirteen and the trade with San Francisco, So

1279
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: that that would be fun because even though we wouldn't

1280
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: have a full audience there, virtually we'd all go, oh

1281
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: yeah that here in Western New York. Believe me. Yeah, Charles,

1282
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: what do you think the Dolphins have three first round picks?

1283
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: What's your gut feeling you think they'll use all three

1284
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: of them or do you think they'll trade any one

1285
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: or two of them away to parlay into different spots

1286
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: in the top in the first round or in later rounds?

1287
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: Do you think the Dolphins have three first round picks

1288
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Here's how I would

1289
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: handicap it. I think they're gonna have to use one

1290
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: of those first round picks to move up, so they

1291
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: answers no. Off the top, I think they're in their

1292
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: heart of hearts, they would kill to use all three

1293
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: because you know what they need for that team. They

1294
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: need every one of those picks. But if there's a

1295
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and they have to use one of those to

1296
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: make that move, I don't think that they would hesitate

1297
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: to do that. And what I mean by that is

1298
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, Detroit, making that kind of noise

1299
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and then telling you, telling you they'll be telling the Dolphins, Hey,

1300
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I got somebody on the other one. You know, I'm

1301
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna pull the rod. Good. Well, I got Bob Shore

1302
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: going the other line. He'll me, We're gonna tell me.

1303
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what it may turn out to be.

1304
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: But to me, if if if, if they if they

1305
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: were split between two quarterbacks, I don't almost call the

1306
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: bluff and sit at five and use all three of

1307
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: my picks. But I don't know that most people do that.

1308
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: For the most part. You have a quarterback you want

1309
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: and you really shouldn't have any hesitation on it. You

1310
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: not wish you washing, so they may have to use

1311
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: that capital to go up, whether it's for Herbert or

1312
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: for two of them. And Charles. You know what I

1313
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 1: get from our conversation with you today. Yeah, it's gonna

1314
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: be a different draft this weekend. It's gonna be unlike

1315
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: any draft you've ever seen. But you're reminding me today

1316
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: that it's it's gonna be fun even with the differences, Right,

1317
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interesting, fun draft, John, I agree totally.

1318
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: And look, one of my favorite things to do in

1319
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: life is read. Okay, I love to read. If I

1320
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: can just get a book and be left alone. I'm

1321
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: an only child driving. My wife had seen when I

1322
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: get my only child moments. I love to read. So

1323
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Ernie A. Corsi the Great GM with the Giants, and

1324
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, Arnie came up through the ranks with Cleveland

1325
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: and Baltimore and you know all those all those greats

1326
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: back then. He wrote a great book called the GM,

1327
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: and he had a passage in there about the old draft,

1328
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: and I think it was Brown came about. Okay, and

1329
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: in that draft they wanted one of three quarterbacks and

1330
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly who they were, but rank Earl Moral,

1331
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: maybe Rennie Dawson, that crew right to pick before theirs

1332
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: the third quarterback that they would have taken went off

1333
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,439
Speaker 1: the board. And they said and in the book, Rnie,

1334
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: of course, he said, Paul Brown, who was running the draft,

1335
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: And think about an old like speaker phone conference call,

1336
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, people around the table. That's how the draft

1337
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: was run back then. Okay, they had a call into

1338
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: New York or Philly or wherever. The office was at

1339
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: the time, and he said, when the third quarterback went

1340
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: off the board, Paul Brown's head slumped and hit the table,

1341
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: and of course it was Paul Brown, so no one

1342
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: moved right. All the error goes out of the room

1343
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: like you don't even want to breathe. And they said,

1344
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: you can hear this disembodied voice with his head still

1345
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: on the table say, well, I guess we have to

1346
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: take Jim Brown. Right. That doesn't tell you about the draft.

1347
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what does. You can do, all the works,

1348
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 1: you can have, all your hopes, you put everything in it,

1349
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: and sometimes you think the card bounces wrong for you

1350
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: and it turns out to be the greatest pick ever.

1351
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes thinking about he nailed it and the other guy

1352
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: absolutely did. That's the beauty of the draft for us

1353
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: as fans. It's horrible it through the DM if you're

1354
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: the team, if you're the organization, because there are no

1355
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: sure things. But how great is that devastating he had

1356
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 1: to draft Jim Brown and that those quarterbacks. That's a

1357
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: great story and we hope you have a great weekend. Charles.

1358
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for spending time of this today. We appreciate it.

1361
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: up there in the organization and everyone who can hear

1362
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: our voices. Thanks Charles Davis, NFL Network Analysts. You can

1363
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: follow him on Twitter at CFD twenty two. You can

1364
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 1: see him today and Wednesday three pm on NFL Network

1365
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: with NFL Total Access Draft Preview, and then Thursday and

1366
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Friday five pm on NFL Network on the NFL Draft Kickoff.

1367
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: Of course, we think he's moving on to NFL on

1368
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: CBS as a game analyst there. Apparently that's not settled yet.

1369
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: But great story, man, what a great story about them Brown.

1370
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: I've never heard that before. Yes, we've got to take

1371
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: Jim Brown. Can you imagine, I mean, holy Colin, And

1372
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 1: that goes on, Maybe not to that extent, but that

1373
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: kind of thinking goes on every year in the draft. Steven,

1374
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: doesn't it that kind of a resignation. I guess you

1375
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: just you never know. They can't miss guys fumble into

1376
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: what you know aren't hard workers is important to him.

1377
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: The guys who don't have the physical abilities turn into

1378
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: these self motivated guys who get better and better and

1379
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: better and play forever and ever and ever, and they're

1380
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: just turned into legendary players who are just throw ins

1381
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: and uh and that's the beauty of it and the

1382
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: fun of it. Um. I wish we knew all that

1383
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: before the draft started, but we have to wait years

1384
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: and years to have it come to fruition. I bet

1385
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: that scenarios played out a lot right in the Bill's room.

1386
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 1: You know what, fourth rounder comes around and they're like,

1387
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: all right, take take the receiver from Cutstown whatever where

1388
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: it's Cutstown, right, can't you see that happening? Yeah? Yeah,

1389
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: you guys goes to the Hall of Fame from where

1390
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 1: he's from, cots Down. Yeah, go ahead, take him. I

1391
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: guess all right, big enough, Yeah, I grab him and

1392
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,560
Speaker 1: maybe maybe he'll go to the Hall of Fame, I

1393
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Whatever and all these other and it happened

1394
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 1: the other time. That's happened the other time too. What

1395
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: about this kind Thurmantom's eyes had a knee problem. Yeah,

1396
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: it's got a little flag. You know what, Take the

1397
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: other guy, you know? Yeah, yeah, you know, both those

1398
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: guys in the Hall of Fame. It's amazing. Good story

1399
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: from Charles Davis. He's a good man. He was happy

1400
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: to have him on the show with us and again

1401
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: you can catch him today tomorrow three pm on the

1402
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network on their Path or the Draft, and then

1403
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: Draft preview on Thursday and Friday on NFL Network. And

1404
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,560
Speaker 1: I meant what I said. He put me in a

1405
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: great mood about the draft. Steve. Look, we're looking forward

1406
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: to it, but he reminded me with his enthusiasm how

1407
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 1: much fun the draft can be and the unknown part

1408
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: is what makes it interesting. Yeah, and it is gonna

1409
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: be fun. I think there is gonna be some shuffling

1410
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: at the top. I think he's right, Miami, He's got

1411
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: too much collateral not to get the exact guy. They

1412
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: want the guy that they think could be a franchise

1413
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,440
Speaker 1: difference maker for a decade and a half in a quarterback.

1414
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna do whatever it takes to get there. And

1415
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: with three first rounders they can do it. So it'll

1416
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: be fun to see if they feel like that's the guy.

1417
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: Two is the guy and they got to jump up

1418
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: to get him. It'll be fun to listen to that happen.

1419
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,560
Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll today, what would you rather do? What

1420
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: would you prefer if you were the bill? Should they

1421
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: draft a running back? Should they trade for Leonard Fournette.

1422
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Is there any need at all to add a running

1423
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,720
Speaker 1: back at this time. Let's take a phone call or two.

1424
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: We'll go to Andrew in Stafford. Hello, Andrew, you're on

1425
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: the air. Hey John, Hey Steve, but just calling in

1426
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: to weigh on everything. The one issue that was brought

1427
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: up was Jonathan Taylor's workload, um Ladanian Tomlinson coming out

1428
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: as hecu had over nine hundred carries as well, and

1429
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: that worked out pretty well. So I think the workload

1430
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,719
Speaker 1: is just a person basis, Like, I don't think there's

1431
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: like a threshold like, oh, if a running back is

1432
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: over this many carries, he's not going to be productive.

1433
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to get your thoughts John

1434
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: on why you're so anti running back but you're okay

1435
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: with the wide receiver when he would be fighting for

1436
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: a number four physician. I just want to get your

1437
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, because the wide receiver won't be number

1438
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: four for long. Cole Beasley is going to be thirty one.

1439
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 1: John Brown's going to be thirty one, and they're not

1440
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: playing forever. And if if the Bills have a chance

1441
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 1: to get a tall it's got to be the right

1442
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: kind of receiver, a tall, long wide receiver and Adam

1443
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: in the second round and keep them around for a while.

1444
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: That's why I'm for it. I think in Devin Singletary,

1445
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: you have the running back for the next five years.

1446
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I really do that. That's the difference to me, Steve,

1447
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 1: would you like the wigh in on that? I don't know.

1448
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to ways to guy on the pick

1449
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: number fifty four for a guy who's gonna be covering

1450
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: kicks for twelve games this season and maybe get in

1451
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: on three offensive plays a game. I think you want

1452
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: more out of that. I don't think there's any question.

1453
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: At some point they're gonna have to get young, but

1454
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: that's at that spot. But by the same token, they've

1455
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: got a young Stefan Diggs, they can resign up. And

1456
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: you know, they got both John Brown and Cole Beasley

1457
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: in the same year, and if they end up losing

1458
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: one or both of them, they'll have the money to

1459
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: get another one on a free agent market or draft one.

1460
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think I want to spend a draft

1461
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: pick at fifty four for a guy who is who's

1462
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: not going to be in a position to get on

1463
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: the field if you can develop them. Look, I know

1464
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: you know that they trade for Stefan Diggs, and I

1465
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: agree with it. They're striking now. The windows open now.

1466
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: But you can't just ignore what happens after the twenty

1467
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty season. There are more seasons to come. Why not

1468
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: spend twenty twenty and develop a receiver? Right, use the

1469
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: guy a little bit, I guess, maybe have a cover kicks,

1470
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: run down field and cover kicks, but use him as

1471
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: a developmental prospect. There's nothing wrong with that second round guy.

1472
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. Second round guy for a developmental seems

1473
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: like a waste to me. I don't think so my

1474
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 1: third round guy can spend a year developing a second

1475
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: round guy. I need him on the field, and you

1476
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: know this year there's just no way he's going to

1477
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: get there. So I don't know, that's just a difference philosophy,

1478
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 1: But certainly, Murph, if you got a guy and like

1479
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: we're laughing about a minute ago, yeah, if it turns

1480
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: into an Andre Read type of guy, you get, he's raw,

1481
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: got some ability, but every year he gets better and better,

1482
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: and in the second or third year he's on the field,

1483
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's a he's a pro bowler

1484
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,640
Speaker 1: and then after that he's an All pro. Yeah you

1485
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: can't you want to take yeah, take the second round

1486
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: or and use him on a guy like that. Call

1487
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: here from marking Tonawanda. Hello Mark around the ear, Hey

1488
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: guys for having me on um Steve. You mentioned to

1489
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,640
Speaker 1: Charles Davis that, you know, four nets productions down just

1490
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: last year, he was sixth the NFL and toll yards

1491
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 1: and the guys ahead of him were McCaffrey, guys like

1492
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Chubb and Henry. If you get that kind of production,

1493
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: you know, from a late round draft pick as a GM,

1494
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: you're considered an absolute genius. You know. So he was

1495
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: even fourth in average yards per game in the NFL

1496
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: last year. If it took a fourth or a fifth

1497
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: round pick, do you mean to tell me that's not

1498
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: something the Bills should not jump at immediately. I just

1499
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: think that's a that's a win win. Well, yeah, Mark,

1500
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm the guy that's with you. I'm I'm the one

1501
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: that's totally If you can get him for a fourth rounder,

1502
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: I say do it, and I'm kind of with you.

1503
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I was surprised Charles Davis kind of poop pooed his

1504
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: production I thought he had a really good year last year,

1505
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of on the other side of it.

1506
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: I think if you can get Fournette for the right

1507
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: price getting now certainly, we've talked about it already too,

1508
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:21,759
Speaker 1: and Charles Davis alluded to this. Guys are jumping shipping

1509
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, in Gockway once out a boy, ye got out.

1510
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: All these guys are kind of like, really happy to

1511
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,600
Speaker 1: be leaving Jacksonville. So I'm kind of with you. It

1512
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: might not be Leonard Fournette's fault, but let's check it

1513
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: out to make sure it's not. But I'm with you.

1514
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: I think Leonard Fournette is a guy who could really

1515
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: play and for a mid to late round draft pick,

1516
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: I make that deal all day long. Oh you don't,

1517
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: sometime go ahead. I'm sorry, No, I just think I

1518
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: just think it would be a steal. I just I

1519
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: love what the team is doing. And uh no, I'm

1520
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna hang up to listen. Thanks trip me on, guys, Okay,

1521
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: thanks coming on. You know one thing about Jacksonville, We've

1522
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: talked about them a little bit today, and we got

1523
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 1: to get to a break here because I got a

1524
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: guest coming up. But don't discount the the Doug Marone

1525
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: factor here, Steve and I just was thinking about how

1526
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: fortunate the Bills are that Doug Marona New Year's Eve

1527
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: and what twentys is fifteen, twenty fourteen, going to fifteen

1528
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: decided to pull the plug, you know what I mean?

1529
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: And yes, we had to get through two years of

1530
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: Russ or of Rex to get to uh to Sean McDermott,

1531
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: but people be bolting out of Buffalo. I think if

1532
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: Marona had stayed much longer, don't you think people would

1533
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: have been thrown in a line at the airport of

1534
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: players leaving? I really do. It was, yeah, it was yeah.

1535
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: When you win, you win. When you win, everything kind

1536
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: of gets washed under the you know, everything seems bearable,

1537
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: even the worst things being bearable. But when you don't,

1538
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what kind of guy you are. Guys

1539
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: are gonna win out and that's that's just the way

1540
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: of it. And whether you likable or not irrelevant if

1541
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: you can't win. Got a breakcare when we returned the

1570
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: As a little kid, you write them down on the

1571
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: sheet of paper and do you hope that you can

1572
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: fulfill them? To now, to sit here and see that

1573
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: one of those drinks and goals that I wrote down

1574
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 1: as a six and seven year old, it's starting to

1575
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: come to fulfillment. I mean I'm really lost for words.

1576
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: And like you said, I ran track here too as well. Yeah,

1577
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: a track start there. I told Steve the story earlier

1578
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: on our show, and I don't know, you may not

1579
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 1: even remember, TJ, but I was always impressed. Maybe five six,

1580
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: seven years ago, I was at the Senior Bowl covering

1581
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: then you showed up with Coach Swinney and I said

1582
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: to you, what are you guys doing here? I mean

1583
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: you were an NFL player, and you said, Coach Twinney

1584
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: just wanted to see all his Clemson players were making

1585
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: out at the Senior Bowl and he said, hopping the

1586
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: car and there we are, and you came down the

1587
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: visit and told me something about the culture of that

1588
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Clemson program and what coach Swine's put together there. Huh.

1589
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: That's that's that's just who he is. I mean, he

1590
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: always cares about his players. It's not just about coming

1591
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: here and playing four or five years from him. I

1592
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: think to me, really, when he signed the company at Clemson,

1593
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: it's really a lifetime contract. And I think he shows

1594
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 1: that due the way that he stays in contact with

1595
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: his former players and he wants guys to come back

1596
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: and be involved in the program. And you know, just

1597
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: that happened to you know that senior day at the

1598
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. He asked me to to tag along with him,

1599
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: and I didn't have anything going out, so I said sure.

1600
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: So I was able to join him and kind of

1601
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 1: get it from a coach's view. I was telling him, Murphy,

1602
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: there's some guys in the Clemson Hall of Fame, right,

1603
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's not it's not East Nowhere State.

1604
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,759
Speaker 1: I mean that we know him now now that Davil

1605
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: Sweeney has taken over. They built this culture and they're

1606
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: always contending for the national championship. But even years ago,

1607
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: they've got some guys in there that were pretty special.

1608
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: Now you're among them, it's got to make it feel

1609
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: really good. It does, and you know, we just obviously

1610
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: we just had Brian Dawkins going to the Pro Football

1611
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, first Clemson player to do that. So,

1612
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, when you talk about, you know, guys that

1613
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: they're played in this program, that they kind of laid

1614
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: the foundation, I always tell people, I'm just standing. I'm

1615
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 1: just very looking to be able to stand on the

1616
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: shoulders of guys that helped build this program to what

1617
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: we see it there is today. Maybe you could argue,

1618
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: and maybe you wouldn't argue it, but it could be

1619
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: argued you're one of the building bar churchs. He yet

1620
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: read a piece in USA Today a while ago that said,

1621
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 1: really Clemson's resurgence in the world of college football began

1622
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: when they recruited you, when they signed you to go there.

1623
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: Do you feel that you've got something going there? It

1624
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: comes in Well, I mean, that's fun that you had,

1625
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: because I've just done an interview yesterday and they asked

1626
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: the same question and honestly, I tell people all the time.

1627
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't never really sit back and really

1628
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: think about that. I guess as you get older, and

1629
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: as I get older, probably if you asked me, probably

1630
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: twenty years from now, my actually could be different. But me,

1631
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: to me, I'm just happy that I'll just a part

1632
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: to be. It's like Duldon House, I was just one

1633
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 1: of those bricks and I'll just happen to be a

1634
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: part of the foundation. And you know, like you said,

1635
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: it's great for people to talk about. But to me,

1636
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,560
Speaker 1: I honestly don't really sitting around and think about that.

1637
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: I was one of the guys. But you know, obviously

1638
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 1: that stuff could change. Here twenty years when I'm up

1639
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: more in age and I kind of sit back and

1640
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: really reflect on my career, my answers could totally be

1641
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: different or just like every every college kid. And you know,

1642
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: and I remember when I was way back in the

1643
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 1: others last century, when I was in college, but there

1644
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: was a time when you thought, man, maybe Clemson isn't

1645
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the place for me. You know, you had been there,

1646
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: and you know, as a young kid, when you when

1647
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: you come out of high school and you go to college,

1648
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: you think you go to the right place, you hope

1649
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: you make the right decision, you agonize over it, but

1650
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: it's not always exactly and well it's never exactly like

1651
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: you envisioned it to be. And you had some doubts

1652
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: when you were Clemson early on, right, I did. After

1653
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: my freshman year, I definitely thought about transferring back down

1654
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: into Florida, and really, to be honest, what you see

1655
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 1: and I kind of just let my emotions get the

1656
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: best of me, just because after that ball game, I

1657
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 1: kind of didn't like how the way that transpired going

1658
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: to get you know, obviously played check and there was,

1659
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, one of the worst rush defense

1660
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: and me and my counterpartner, James Davis, only touched the

1661
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: ball like seven or nine times between the both of us,

1662
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: between the both of us, and I was just frustrated

1663
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: and I just felt And then you got Florida right

1664
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: there that was getting ready to play for a national championship,

1665
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,600
Speaker 1: and you know, they right there in my backyard. So

1666
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: like you said, as a young kid, you start all

1667
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 1: those things started questioning you. But really I was always

1668
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: told never let you know, never make a decision based

1669
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: off your emotions or the emotion that you're going through

1670
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: at the time. So once I let the smoke clear,

1671
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: I figured, you know, once I made that vow to

1672
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: come to clubs, and it was best for me to

1673
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: just say not let my emotions get the best of

1674
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 1: me and make a terrible decision. C J. Spiller's going

1675
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: into the clubs in the university. I've got a call

1676
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 1: of fame this year, ninth overall pick in the twenty

1677
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: ten draft the Buffalo Bills. What do you recall about

1678
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: the night you were drafted? CJ? Drafted ninth overall? What

1679
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,759
Speaker 1: was that night late for you? It was exciting, anxious,

1680
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: to be honest, and I just remember riding up to

1681
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: Radio Hall, being in the car with one of my

1682
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 1: out of various centers. I mean, never in my wildnest dreams,

1683
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: I'd ever thought I'd be able to sit literally two

1684
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: feet away from Bearshon, one of the greatest running backs

1685
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: to ever play the game, and to Bill to sit

1686
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: in that car ride and kind of just pick his

1687
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: brain about different things about how I take care of

1688
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: his body, you know, what to expect at the next level.

1689
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: That was really a highlight of my day. And then obviously,

1690
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: once you know, I got there and sat there in

1691
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 1: the green room and see my phone and that seven

1692
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: one six area code showed up. I knew I was

1693
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: going to Upstate New York to be a Buffalo deal.

1694
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 1: What were some of your favorite moments about being a

1695
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill? I know you spent five years here, what

1696
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 1: were some of the fondest memories? You have to be honest,

1697
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: it was it was the fans. It was the fans

1698
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: that made the experience wonderful. Obviously, you know, we didn't,

1699
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,679
Speaker 1: you know, have the success like we wanted as teams,

1700
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 1: but the fans support that we had each and every game,

1701
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: both home and a way that kind of blew me away.

1702
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 1: It kind of really made me feel like at home

1703
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: because it reminded me so much a clipson of that

1704
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: fan base that we have here. So to me, it

1705
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: was the fans. And then that year that we kind

1706
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: of started off I think five and old. Literally people

1707
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: talk about the buzz in the city. Literally, as a player,

1708
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: you can feel the buzzs in the city. I just

1709
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: wish we could have just finished that season on the

1710
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,640
Speaker 1: right note. I just think at the time, we had

1711
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: a young team and we didn't understand how to handle success.

1712
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: You know, compared to when you guys played Steve, y'all

1713
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: guys knew y'all had a better and group, y'all knew

1714
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 1: how to handle success. I think we were so young

1715
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: we didn't know how to handle that success at the time.

1716
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: But it was the fans and just my teammates and

1717
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: having guys like John being able to talk to him.

1718
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was I mean, it made my time

1719
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:32,719
Speaker 1: that Buffalo really worth the worth the time with c J. Spiller,

1720
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 1: former Bill's first round draft and TJ got to ask

1721
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: you about some of the Clemson prospects coming out in

1722
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 1: this year's draft and help us understand Isaiah Simmons. What

1723
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: is he? A safety? A linebacker? And I know he's good,

1724
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 1: but where were he playing the league? You think? I

1725
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 1: think he can play wherever the defensive coordinator want him

1726
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, he just that type of athlete.

1727
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you get the guy at that side that

1728
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: ran the forty that he ran at the combine. I mean,

1729
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: young guys don't walk around this earth every day. So

1730
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: whoever as him gonna get a special talent. And I

1731
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: think the special thing about Clemson guys is that they

1732
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: don't get caught up into the hype. You know, obviously

1733
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 1: there's a big moment for them, but at the same time,

1734
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 1: we understand as players that there's still a lot of

1735
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: work that has to be that has to be put in,

1736
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: And I think those guys gonna understand that. And whatever

1737
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: team they go to, they're gonna get a winner. They're

1738
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,839
Speaker 1: gonna get a hard worker, a guy that's very humble.

1739
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: I think he can He's gonna be able to take

1740
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: that organization to a whole another levels. So I'm excited

1741
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: to see where our guys end up at. Well, one

1742
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: of the things you got a chance to do. You

1743
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: played for Buffalo for five years. You also got a

1744
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: chance to play with Drew Brees, hall of Famer down

1745
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: in New Orleans and now you're you're probably a really

1746
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 1: close watcher of Clemson football. So you got Trevor Lawrence.

1747
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: There is gonna come out next year. You've played with

1748
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and Drew Brees. You see this

1749
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 1: young college kid who man, Yeah, I don't know how

1750
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: you describe him. What are your thoughts about those two?

1751
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 1: How what Trevor Lawrence is gonna look like? And deep,

1752
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm like everybody, it's not my life to live. But

1753
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence gotta be looking side. It's going. Man, I

1754
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to Why do I What

1755
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 1: more do I have to do and Clemson to prove

1756
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: I can play in the NFL? And what kind of

1757
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 1: risk is he taken? But by the same token, he's

1758
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 1: got to want to play. Yeah, I think, like you said, Steve,

1759
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 1: I think it's just that competitive. I think it's all

1760
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: in athletes. I mean, obviously, you know it's always a

1761
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 1: risk when you play this game of football every time

1762
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:22,560
Speaker 1: you step on the field, and he understands that, and

1763
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: they'll do everything to make sure that he has his

1764
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: insurance policy and all that stuff. But I think he

1765
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: just want to have a chance to just come back

1766
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: and grow as a player. Obviously, you know he can't

1767
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: come out just because he was a true sophomore. So

1768
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 1: he'll come out, he'll put up, he'll do that said

1769
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: things he need to do to get better as a quarterback.

1770
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure some some thrills that he'll probably like

1771
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 1: to that championship game that he'll love to take back.

1772
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: So he doesn't want to continue to prove as a player.

1773
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, whoever gets him next year,

1774
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: I promise he turns that organization to winning right away.

1775
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he just has that winning edge I can.

1776
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 1: I've never seen a guy that can just stay so

1777
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: composed but don't matter what's going on throughout the game,

1778
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: he just stays to himself and these goals out there

1779
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: and executed. And as you know, your quarterback, he's the leader.

1780
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,600
Speaker 1: And when he's when you're as a teammate, when you

1781
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,600
Speaker 1: see the quarterback have that type of belief that we

1782
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: can win any game at any moment, non't matter what

1783
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,639
Speaker 1: the circumstances is. I think that's the volume of his character.

1784
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not gonna put him up the

1785
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: Paris Dow or Drew Brees because that's a that's a

1786
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: different animal and that's a different, you know, type of talent.

1787
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: But I think if he continue to do the things

1788
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,440
Speaker 1: that he do, he can definitely have a long successful

1789
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: NFL career. And c J Bills fans, I want to

1790
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: know what you're up to now. You told me you

1791
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:33,560
Speaker 1: live by Clemson right in that party South Carolina. But

1792
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: what do you do for living well? I love about

1793
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: coups and obviously I just I just got selected on

1794
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: the Board of directors what i IPTATE, which is our

1795
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 1: big organization, a fundraise, an organization here that we have

1796
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: at the university. So I'm the youngest one on that.

1797
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Definitely an honor to be on that because you're talking

1798
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: about some of the old time guys that have been

1799
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 1: around this program and drown out of university for years.

1800
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: So for me to be even to sit amongst that group,

1801
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it truly is an honor. And then I

1802
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: help out help coach a track team at a local

1803
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: high school here. Kind of been doing that from like

1804
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: last three or four years, and you know, that's been

1805
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: very fun and challenging just because of you know, you're

1806
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: dealing with young kids, and I think sometimes as as

1807
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: now I'm what I'm saying, as coaches, you kind of

1808
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: want to see yourself into another individual, but you kind

1809
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: of just have to let them grow. So it's been fun.

1810
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 1: And then it's been that c J. I ask you,

1811
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 1: I know, it's like coaching high school kids. How many

1812
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: of them challenge you think they can out run the

1813
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: old man. So that's that's still happening because I know

1814
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,560
Speaker 1: they do well. You know, see if I have to

1815
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: nip that in the Bud Earth, I said, just twisted.

1816
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: Now I'm still the teacher. Maybe have to last these

1817
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: shoes and how to show them every now and then

1818
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 1: I get one of that they can challenge in and

1819
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: how to get out there, you know, show them that

1820
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 1: they I might be thirty two, but I still got

1821
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 1: this will still you will still can turn over. That's great,

1822

1828
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,760

1836
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller was even great. I've always liked CJ.

1837

1839
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 1: Great college football player, and a pretty good pro as well.

1840
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about running backs and our twitter Paul, what

1841
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: would you rather do if you were the Bills draft

1842
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: running back? Trade for Lenon Fournette. No need to add

1843
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: a running back at this time? Let us know. Here's

1844
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: Nick in Rochester. Hello, Nick, you're on the air with us. Hi, guys,

1845
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Um sure, I don't think the

1846
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: fifty fourth should be a running back, and I'll tell

1847
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: you why. The position that's still a need as I

1848
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:11,320
Speaker 1: view it is cornerback. I believe bringing in Greg Norman

1849
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 1: was done for a reason. Josh Norman, Yeah, Matt. I

1850
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: hope that Jalen Johnson or even a Bryce Hall who's

1851
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,560
Speaker 1: fully recovered, or even possibly a Camp Dansler will be

1852
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 1: available at that fifty fourth pick. I have a funny

1853
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 1: feeling the Bills will in fact draft Eno Benjamin, running

1854
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: back out of Arizona State, probably in the fourth round.

1855
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: They might have to do some magic beaning in the

1856
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: third round, but that's probably going to be the running

1857
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: back that they will draft. But I do believe strongly

1858
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 1: that the positions still A need not want is cornerback,

1859
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, just from a overall athletic ability alone, I

1860
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 1: think that's they're they're most vulnerable at that spot. And

1861
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:03,360
Speaker 1: outside of Levi Wallace, even the rookie they had from

1862
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,559
Speaker 1: the University of Buffalo last year at cam Lewis, he's

1863
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: not up to speed. But I think cornerback so they

1864
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 1: can have the next Trey White. I'm that team secured

1865
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:15,799
Speaker 1: the kid will be able to learn from Josh Norman

1866
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,640
Speaker 1: and compete with Levi Wallace. And I think that's the

1867
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 1: pick they're gonna make at fifty four this year. Not

1868
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: a bad observation, I gotta tell you, Nick. And let's

1869
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: look at the cornerback ranks for the Bills. Turdavious White

1870
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: and Levi Wallace and Josh Norman, and they brought back E. J. Gaines.

1871
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: They do have cam Lewis, they do have Sir and

1872
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:36,280
Speaker 1: Neil and Taren Johnson. But I don't know, Steve. I

1873
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 1: think we're at the point in the NFL now, Steve

1874
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: Tasker interested in getting you on this. I think we're

1875
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,720
Speaker 1: at the point where we should when we make up

1876
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,680
Speaker 1: depth charts, we should we should have three cornerbacks on

1877
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:48,640
Speaker 1: the starting unit, you know what I mean, because that

1878
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 1: third cornerback will play more than your third lineback, and

1879
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: you might as well think of it like that, and

1880
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: you might as well get as many quarterbacks as you can.

1881
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 1: I think I think that wasn't a bad observation by

1882
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: the caller, Nick, What do you think? I agree with him?

1883
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,960
Speaker 1: Three corners is your base defense these days? Yeah, if

1884
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 1: five dbs is your base defense, and certainly you can,

1885
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, go from that. You still need to have

1886
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: defensive alignments where you have four dbs and all of

1887
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 1: that and all the different scenarios and configurations you have.

1888
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:21,160
Speaker 1: But your base defense bait really is the three corners,

1889
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 1: two safeties, because most teams come out in a three

1890
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 1: wide set, and even if they're not in the three wide,

1891
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 1: they're tight end or running back is split to the slot.

1892
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree with you. You can never have

1893
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: too many of them. And I've been over the last

1894
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,600
Speaker 1: year and a half have been convinced that coverage is

1895
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: more important than than pressure. We saw it last year

1896
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 1: with the Bill's defense sacks was not their calling card,

1897
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 1: but coverage was. And their past defense was tops in

1898
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 1: the league, not the very top, but one of the

1899
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 1: top three in the league. They were really good against

1900
01:33:57,479 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 1: the past and it wasn't because they were getting sack

1901
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 1: after sack after sack. They struggled in the first half

1902
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 1: of the season. They ended up in the top ten,

1903
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 1: number ten in sacks, but coverage was the key. So

1904
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 1: I think if you're gonna be that way as a defense,

1905
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 1: I think it starts in the back end rather than

1906
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: the front end. And I would agree. I would agree

1907
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 1: with Nick. Fifty four is a perfect spot to grab

1908
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 1: a corner if there's a really good one there, and

1909
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be I wouldn't be shocked at all if

1910
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 1: they did it. You know, you know you ever do this, Steve,

1911
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just nuts. Every once in a while, I'll

1912
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:30,800
Speaker 1: come across some numbers like from last year and it

1913
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: just kind of hits me again the observation that I

1914
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 1: had and I stumbled upon these numbers today. Bills gave

1915
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,800
Speaker 1: up sixteen point two points per game last year. That's

1916
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 1: almost nothing. Second in the NFL. Bills only allowed twenty

1917
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 1: five points in the game once last season. The lowest

1918
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Their calling card was defense and a

1919
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 1: little bit of edge. You know, if they get a

1920
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:52,759
Speaker 1: little bit better on offense. If you're giving up sixteen

1921
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 1: points a game, I'm not gonna say it'll be easy

1922
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 1: to win double digit games, but it's certainly within reach.

1923
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 1: If you give up sixteen points a game. Come on, yeah,

1924
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 1: could you imagine? I mean, that's yeah, you can't even

1925
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 1: that's even you can't even set that as a goal. Realistically,

1926
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:14,760
Speaker 1: the goal is like twenty twenty. Most teams are like,

1927
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,679
Speaker 1: all right, listen, if you can give up twenty points

1928
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 1: a game in the NFL, you're gonna win a lot

1929
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:23,000
Speaker 1: of games. Bills gave up sixteen. That's big, and it's huge,

1930
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:26,439
Speaker 1: and that's that was the That's what this team was

1931
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 1: last year was a really solid defense and an offense

1932
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 1: that did just enough. In particular, when they stopped turning

1933
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 1: it over after the first five weeks of the season,

1934
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: they got to be really tough to beat. And as

1935
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: much as they struggled to score points on offense, they

1936
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 1: didn't struggle really in time of possession for the most part.

1937
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 1: I mean it didn't really dominate time of possession, but

1938
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 1: they held their own and when you do that with

1939
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,599
Speaker 1: a defense like the Bills have, you know, complimentary football

1940
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 1: wins a lot of games. And that's what happened last year.

1941
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 1: They scored enough at the right time, and they had

1942
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback who made plays at a timely fashion, and

1943
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 1: their defense picked up whatever slack there was. And that's

1944
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: that's what you know. That's what the Bills were last year.

1945
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 1: That's also, by the way, Murder, that's also why they

1946
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 1: were ousted in the first round. They need more from

1947
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,640
Speaker 1: the offense. Yeah, it wasn't the sixteen they were given up.

1948
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: It was the eighteen they were scoring again, that's right.

1949
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 1: That's right. Hey, we're talking about the draft two days

1950
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: away and our Twitter pull today. What would you rather

1951
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 1: do if you were the Bills draft a running back,

1952
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: make a trade for Leonard Fournette, or don't bother no

1953
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:32,680
Speaker 1: need to add a running back at this time. We

1954
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 1: will continue the discussion in the third and final hour

1955
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 1: of the show. We will start next hour's discussion with

1956
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:40,879

01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 1: the time of season and the type of game, and

1970
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 1: the Bills were number one in the NFL. Jeff Missouri,

1971
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:26,760
Speaker 1: the Bills equipment director, will join us live on the

1972
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: line in about thirty minutes. Just heard C. J. Spiller.

1973
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: He has been told that he's going into the Clemson

1974
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 1: found A Department Hall of Fame this year, one of

1975
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:37,680
Speaker 1: eight new members of the program. Spiller being honored for

1976
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: his great career as a college football player and played.

1977
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 1: Finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting in two thousand

1978
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 1: and nine. Unanimous all American and ACC MVP. He was

1979
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 1: also an All American and track during his Clemson career.

1980
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 1: It was ten years ago when C. J. Spiller was

1981
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills first round draft pick. Spiller played eight

1982
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL five with the Buffalo Bills, and

1983
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: he's now in the Clemson University. Call him fame around

1984
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: the league. GMS held their mock draft yesterday, testing out

1985
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 1: the technology and things once smoothly, it is said. John

1986
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,799
Speaker 1: Elway of the Denver Broncos, their president of football operations,

1987
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 1: says his team's IT department set it up so that

1988
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 1: there really were no problems a dry run of the

1989
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 1: draft yesterday two round practice session. Some early technical issues

1990
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: included a two and a half minute delaying for the

1991
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 1: Bengals making the first pick, but there was also an

1992
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: issue with too many people on a call and not

1993
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 1: using the mute function, but always says things eventually were

1994
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 1: even doubt. Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Marquise Lee.

1995
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:35,479
Speaker 1: He was due to make six point two five million

1996
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: dollars this year, only played in six games and then

1997
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:40,479
Speaker 1: three catches last year. Did not play at all in

1998
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight game with an injury Jannick Cockway of the

1999
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars increased his talk about being traded. He's got a

2000
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 1: Twitter war going on with the son of Jaguars owner

2001
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: Tony Khan, the son, and he says he reiterated his

2002
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: demand for a trade, which is very interesting. And then

2003
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:04,080
Speaker 1: a virus pandemic's impact on the sports industry will be

2004
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,680
Speaker 1: felt for years to come. That's according to two new

2005
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: projections from a sports marketing agency, Two Circles. They say

2006
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:13,839
Speaker 1: only fifty three of the major sports events originally scheduled

2007
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:17,040
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty are likely to take place this calendar year.

2008
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,679
Speaker 1: There you go, that's the update from one Bill's life.

2009
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 1: What do they know, Steve, It's a survey. It did

2010
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: not no, you know what I mean. That's good, compiled

2011
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 1: some numbers, so okay, thank you for that. I don't know.

2012
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't look. I'm not saying the NFL will play,

2013
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: but the way the league is moving full steam ahead

2014
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:38,800
Speaker 1: with the draft this week and the last week or

2015
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: two makes me believe that when the time is right,

2016
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,639
Speaker 1: probably mid to late summer, the NFL will move full

2017
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 1: speed ahead with some kind of a football season. It's

2018
01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: just my gut, I have no inside information on that.

2019
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they'll

2020
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 1: start slow, but by that time they'll probably be able

2021
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: to have closed training camps, you know, with no fans.

2022
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: They'll probably have testing in place for you know, many

2023
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: people as they need to have to get it going,

2024
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 1: and they'll be some distancing going on to keep the

2025
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:16,680
Speaker 1: teams as closed off as they can during the time

2026
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 1: that they're in training camp and all out, and they'll

2027
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: try and get the season offense as quickly as they

2028
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 1: can and on time. And what that'll look like has

2029
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 1: yet to be determined, but yeah, I'm with you. I

2030
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:29,800
Speaker 1: think they will move ahead until something absolutely brings a

2031
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,400
Speaker 1: hole to it, which you know, obviously it could. But

2032
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: if they can, they will. You know that's the truth. Yep.

2033
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:39,840
Speaker 1: All right, our Twitter pull today, what would you do rather?

2034
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:41,639
Speaker 1: What would you rather do if you were the Bills?

2035
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: As far as the draft in two days? Running back

2036
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 1: question here? Would you draft a running back? Would you

2037
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 1: trade for Jacksonville's Leonard Fournette or is there no need

2038
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,600
Speaker 1: to add a running back at this time? Let us

2039
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 1: know what you think. Eighth three, five fifty the number

2040
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 1: to call toll free from outside Buffalo one eight five

2041
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,080
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Good response on the Twitter. But

2042
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: we got almost eighteen hundred votes in so far and

2043
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:05,760
Speaker 1: fifty one percent just over half say if you were

2044
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 1: the Bills, you would draft for a running back, thirty

2045
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 1: percent say you should trade for Leonard Fournette, and just

2046
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 1: ten percent say there's no need to add a running

2047
01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: back at this time. Phone nine's open eight three five

2048
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 1: fifteen toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

2049
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: five fifty. We'll get to the tweet sheen in a moment.

2050
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Let's take a few phone calls here though. Let's go

2051
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: to Jim and Virginia. Hello, Jim, welcome, you're on the

2052
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 1: air with this. Yeah, hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.

2053
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:39,639
Speaker 1: Running Back, I don't think is necessarily the most needed

2054
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 1: one position that I really haven't heard anything about all

2055
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: through the off season, and that's a replacement for the

2056
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 1: one man game. I have to think. I listen to

2057
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: you earlier with Brandon Bean this week where he might

2058
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: be trying to trade up between that thirty five and

2059
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 1: forty position and Zach Bond. I would love to see

2060
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: him in Buffalo. He's a talented player, I think right now,

2061
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 1: and see if I get I want to get you

2062
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:12,560
Speaker 1: on them this. I'm guessing the Bill's view a J.

2063
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: Klein as a replacement for Lorenzo Alexander, although I wouldn't

2064
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 1: look for him to get the kind of snaps that

2065
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 1: Lorenzo was getting. Lorenzo was kind of a jack of

2066
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: all trades all over the defense, and I don't know

2067
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 1: that he would be if Klein is up for that.

2068
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 1: But as far as you know, when you're lined up

2069
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:30,880
Speaker 1: in a four three defense, yeah, I can see a J.

2070
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: Klein playing that outside linebacker spot. What do you think see? Yeah,

2071
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,840
Speaker 1: it's a good call by Jim. Yeah, because they are

2072
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna miss Lorenzo. But I think we've talked about the

2073
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 1: fact that they'll probably replace his production with more than

2074
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 1: one guy. They'll ask guys to overlap with what he did.

2075
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 1: Now he played a lot of special teams. Certainly they

2076
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,839
Speaker 1: can find a guy to be even a core special

2077
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: teams guy that will play only special teams or ninety

2078
01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 1: percent of his snap will be on special teams, and

2079
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: then have a guy take over for whatever snaps at

2080
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: linebacker Lorenzo took. So you're right, there's only one kind

2081
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:11,000
Speaker 1: of Lorenzo Alexander type of guy, and instead of trying

2082
01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:15,040
Speaker 1: to replace him one for one, they'll replace him two

2083
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: halves for one, So I'll get two guys to contribute

2084
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:23,639
Speaker 1: and and do what Lorenzo did. You're right, he's hard

2085
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 1: to replace, and I think it's going to be important

2086
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 1: for them that production and his leadership, I think is

2087
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: also something they've got to look to replace. Yeah, the

2088
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 1: leadership will have to come from some other place. But look,

2089
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 1: I think what you're saying if I don't think the

2090
01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 1: Bills are going to look for every down player there,

2091
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 1: and I think they'll, for instance, if it's a J. Klein,

2092
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:43,600
Speaker 1: they'll have him play when again when they're lined up

2093
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 1: in a four three and have somebody else played, like

2094
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,560
Speaker 1: on the defensive line like Lorenzo was doing this. You

2095
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 1: know many times he lined up over the center or

2096
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, an interior defensive life position. They'll get somebody else,

2097
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 1: probably a D lineman to do that. Jim mentioned Zach Bond.

2098
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: He is regarded as a second a second rounder for sure,

2099
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:05,680
Speaker 1: maybe a third rounder. Wisconsin outside linebacker six two, two

2100
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:08,560
Speaker 1: thirty eight pounds, a second team All American and a

2101
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 1: good player. I've heard a lot of good things about

2102
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 1: him likely to be there, I don't know, could be

2103
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 1: there at fifty four, and maybe someone who would get

2104
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: the Bill's interest. They haven't said anything about him publicly,

2105
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 1: they haven't been linked to him, which doesn't mean a thing,

2106
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, they might be keeping it really quiet.

2107
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:27,439
Speaker 1: That that might point the arrow towards Zack Vaughan more

2108
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:31,760
Speaker 1: than anything, the fact that they haven't talked about him. Right, Yeah,

2109
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 1: he may be the guy they're pointing to and saying, hey,

2110
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: keep it quiet. This is our guy they don't want

2111
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 1: anybody know. But then again, it could be that like, Noah,

2112
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 1: we don't want that guy. So yeah, you're right that

2113
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 1: just because he hasn't been linked to them or pointed

2114
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:48,679
Speaker 1: to by the Bills themselves, doesn't mean anything. A second

2115
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: call from Tom and let come on a hello Tim,

2116
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 1: you're on the air, Hi, guys. Before I get to

2117
01:44:54,400 --> 01:45:00,080
Speaker 1: my player thing. I just wondered with the NFL and

2118
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:05,320
Speaker 1: TV contract claims such a big part, do you think

2119
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: they could afford to lose the month of September as

2120
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 1: far as playing in the games but not playing in

2121
01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: front of fans because TV makes up so much of

2122
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:18,560
Speaker 1: their money. And then my other point is Chase Carpool.

2123
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll be a pool fifty four? Do

2124
01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 1: you think they'd have to move up to about forty Yeah,

2125
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool. Let's deal with the first question first. What

2126
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 1: was the number I had last week? See, fifteen percent

2127
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 1: of NFL revenue comes from ticket sales and the bulk

2128
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: of it is TV. Yeah, they could play they could

2129
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 1: play just games on TV. I do think you'd be

2130
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:40,920
Speaker 1: lacking something and it's not ideal, but that could happen.

2131
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would rule that out, you know,

2132
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 1: see right, and it's it becomes a competitive advantage as well,

2133
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: because if you're playing a month of the season without fans,

2134
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 1: any teams with home games would lose the advantage they

2135
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: get from the home field. And then when the game's

2136
01:45:55,200 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 1: kicked back on, maybe you've got a team that had

2137
01:45:57,120 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 1: three home games in one away or vice versa, and

2138
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 1: they gain an advantage or disadvantage. By the rest of

2139
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: their games, their opponents would get home field advantage and

2140
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 1: they would would not have had the chance to do that.

2141
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's as big an issue that

2142
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:17,759
Speaker 1: would keep the league from doing that because the issues

2143
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: that would make that force the league into playing without

2144
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:25,080
Speaker 1: fans are bigger than home field advantage. So it's a possibility,

2145
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:32,760
Speaker 1: and that would keep the television partners happy, and to

2146
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,679
Speaker 1: begin with, it would make the Hey, the ratings would

2147
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:37,639
Speaker 1: be that much higher because there'd be that many people

2148
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: watching the game who would actually would have been in

2149
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 1: the stadium. You know those people are gonna tune in. Yeah,

2150
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 1: those sixty three thousand and would be around the corner

2151
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: here in Notchard Park could be sixty three thousand people

2152
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 1: on their sofa watching the game, right, Yeah, that's right,

2153
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,120
Speaker 1: So you'd get you know, the numbers would be Yeah,

2154
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 1: the numbers would be higher at least locally. And doctor

2155
01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:01,400
Speaker 1: Fauci of the President's Task Force has mentioned, you know,

2156
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:03,680
Speaker 1: playing games without fans, but again it's early and we

2157
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Now. Your second question was about Chase Claypool. Look,

2158
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 1: when I have this scenario of and yeah, like somebody

2159
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: asked me, why would you add a receiver that won't

2160
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,639
Speaker 1: playbi the fourth and not get a running back? Because

2161
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,519
Speaker 1: I think Chase Claypool might have what it takes to

2162
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 1: be a really good player for this team or somebody

2163
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 1: else in the NFL. I think his length is unmatched.

2164
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the type of receiver they don't have

2165
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 1: with even Diggs and John Brown and Cole Beasley. So yeah,

2166
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 1: I think if he's there at fifty four, or maybe

2167
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 1: if you got to go get him in the top forty,

2168
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 1: I would be interesting. I'll be really interested to see

2169
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 1: where Claypool goals. And I'll tell you to seven. I'm

2170
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna admit it now, two days before the director, I'm

2171
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:45,680
Speaker 1: root for him to wear one of those helmets with

2172
01:47:45,720 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 1: a little buffalo on the side as the late jumper. Yeah,

2173
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:50,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. With the way they're set at

2174
01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver right now, I would be I wouldn't be

2175
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 1: up for having him trade up to get him. But

2176
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:57,720
Speaker 1: if he does fall to fifty four, I don't have

2177
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,560
Speaker 1: a problem with him taking him. I don't want to

2178
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 1: trade up to get him, but I'll certainly draft him

2179
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:06,479
Speaker 1: if he's there. I'm kind of I'm kind of that's

2180
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 1: a lukewarm endorsement. Yeah, he's okay, we'll take them. Yeah,

2181
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not up for getting a guy at

2182
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 1: fifty four is not going to get on the field.

2183
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: That's all there is too And Chase Claypool will not

2184
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 1: get on the field for the Bills. If they draft

2185
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 1: him this year, he may get on the field a

2186
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 1: handful of snaps a game. If that this year? Yeah

2187
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,639
Speaker 1: this year? Uh well, I don't know if I agree

2188
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 1: with that. But I also even if I did agree

2189
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: with it, I'd say, oh yeah, what about next year? Look,

2190
01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: you got it's not just about this year. I know

2191
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 1: they're loading up, they got digs, they gave up this

2192
01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 1: year's first round or to get a player who will

2193
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 1: contribute this year. I do think and look they've said it.

2194
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 1: They haven't said it recently, but beinga McDermott have said,

2195
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 1: we're trying to build a sustaining thing here that will

2196
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 1: be good every year, competitive every year. I think drafting

2197
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: like that will be a smart way to do it.

2198
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 1: But maybe I'll maybe I'm wrong, I could be wrong.

2199
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I can set wrong too. Your your silence when

2200
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 1: too long, Steve. Now, I think, yeah, next year, Yeah,

2201
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 1: next year's next year. Um, there's there's a million things

2202
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:10,040
Speaker 1: that are gonna happen between now and next year, and

2203
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 1: want of them. Maybe you get an even better receiver

2204
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 1: than Chase Claypool. So I'm not I'm not thinking that

2205
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 1: he's the savior next year. So I want a guy

2206
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 1: that's gonna help us this year and next year. I'm

2207
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: not looking for a savior. I'm looking for a player

2208
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:28,760
Speaker 1: me too. But I want guys gonna play this year

2209
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 1: and next year, not just getting when when everybody else

2210
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:36,599
Speaker 1: gets bad. He's good enough. Tom Ye has another comment

2211
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 1: to me, Yes, with Claypool's size, couldn't he also sometimes

2212
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: come in as a second tight end? Yeah, and that

2213
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot of that goes to, you know, how you

2214
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 1: use tight ends. I mean they use detax tight ends

2215
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: all the time. Every team does, sure. I mean, what's

2216
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 1: the difference between a detax tight end and the slot receiver.

2217
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't ask Chase Claypool to come into being an

2218
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 1: effective blocker, you know. And they do have couple of

2219
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 1: tight ends, so you'd want to play too. But yeah,

2220
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:04,680
Speaker 1: that could happen. That's here's what happens if you're if

2221
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:07,599
Speaker 1: you're going three wide, and what it happens is when

2222
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 1: you start detaching your tight ends. It's a question mark.

2223
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:14,519
Speaker 1: It's a question that you're asking the defense, do you

2224
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:16,599
Speaker 1: think that tight end is good enough to beat your

2225
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 1: linebacker when you move him out in demand to mand coverage,

2226
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, and then if we go three wide and

2227
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:24,760
Speaker 1: you still have that linebacker, you're going to have to

2228
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 1: go zone because your linebacker for sure is not going

2229
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 1: to be able to cover our Cole Beasley. If you don't,

2230
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,080
Speaker 1: are you going to cover him with a running back,

2231
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 1: with a safety or a corner. In short, a tight

2232
01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:41,640
Speaker 1: end like Chase Claypool versus a third wide receiver or

2233
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:44,400
Speaker 1: another tight end. It all depends on how a defense

2234
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 1: answers that personnel combination. No matter where you put all

2235
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:49,680
Speaker 1: those guys and where you move them and shift them.

2236
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 1: That's what an offensive coordinator does. He shifts guys around

2237
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 1: with different personnel combinations and says, well, when we've got

2238
01:50:57,720 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool on the field and he's the only tight

2239
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:04,880
Speaker 1: end quote on the field along with Cole Beasley, John

2240
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 1: Brown and Stephan Diggs, and we got Chase Claypool, they're

2241
01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:12,519
Speaker 1: treating him like a tight end. So we'll split him

2242
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:14,599
Speaker 1: out go with a four wide look, and now we've

2243
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 1: got him one on one with a fat linebacker who

2244
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 1: can't stay with him. So that's our win. So then

2245
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 1: you put some plays in with Chase Claypool as your

2246
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,880
Speaker 1: number one option. If the defense does that for you.

2247
01:51:27,479 --> 01:51:29,800
Speaker 1: But if they don't and they send a guy out

2248
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:32,320
Speaker 1: there who's just they don't change. They only got four

2249
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 1: dbs on the field, and they covered Chase Claypool with

2250
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: a really athletic linebacker, well then you got a problem.

2251
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:39,600
Speaker 1: He's either got to come off the field or you

2252
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 1: got to put a guy like Lee Smith on there

2253
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 1: to push that guy around in the run game. So

2254
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking at. Yeah, Chase Claypool could be

2255
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 1: lined up anywhere you want. He's got a lot of size.

2256
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 1: But if he lines up as a tight end, sooner

2257
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 1: or later, he's got a man up in block, a

2258
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,719
Speaker 1: big guy. If he can do that, fine, If he can't,

2259
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,000
Speaker 1: well then he can't. You can't play him at tight end.

2260
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:02,879
Speaker 1: And it's a joke. They call here from Mike and Pittsford.

2261
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,920
Speaker 1: Hello Mike, you're on the ear. Hey guys, I agree

2262
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: with you Steven Claypool, by the way, about limited snaps,

2263
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 1: probably a special teamer. But I wanted to call and

2264
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:15,040
Speaker 1: talk about the two the running back situations and make

2265
01:52:15,120 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 1: two points come. I'm not sure you've mentioned yet or not,

2266
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: but Burnette is in his fifth year option, so he's

2267
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 1: a free agent after this upcoming season, so that's why

2268
01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:28,720
Speaker 1: he's kind of come in a little cheap. What I've

2269
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: heard and read online, I don't know how if this

2270
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,240
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent, but they're saying he can be

2271
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: picked up for a fifth round pick, and but you're

2272
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna lose him at the end of the year. And

2273
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 1: he's really been I would say, other Lanster being his

2274
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:44,320
Speaker 1: best year, it's been kind of an underachiever for a

2275
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 1: number four overall pick. The second point I wanted to

2276
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: make though, is with the character the running back position.

2277
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:54,760
Speaker 1: I agree with an earlier caller regarding Jonathan Taylor, and

2278
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is, and I've mentioned this

2279
01:52:57,360 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 1: to you guys before, but the thing the build those

2280
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 1: needs in their offense are more big play capability, quick

2281
01:53:05,479 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: strike trying took up a touchdown a game where you,

2282
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, make a big play on it. They got

2283
01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 1: dig so that'll help in that end, but they need

2284
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 1: a running back who can do that. You know, between

2285
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 1: the two of those two guys, men get one touchdown

2286
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:22,800
Speaker 1: like that a game, that'd be huge. If you look

2287
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: at the offense they had last year, one of the

2288
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 1: issues was that touchdowns didn't come that way, and most

2289
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:33,880
Speaker 1: of the touchdowns they scored were on long drives, and

2290
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 1: those are tough to h to score on and to

2291
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 1: be an offense where you can put up, you know,

2292
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:44,360
Speaker 1: more than twenty points of games on long drives like that, So,

2293
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,560
Speaker 1: especially the way the bills were set up. But you

2294
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:51,160
Speaker 1: add a guy and you look at Jonathan Taylor's numbers,

2295
01:53:51,439 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 1: That guy has scored a ton of touchdowns in college

2296
01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: and they're they're not like two yard plunges. They're long

2297
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,960
Speaker 1: runs that he's mapped off and went to distance. The

2298
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:04,759
Speaker 1: other thing I think is interesting though, these people talking

2299
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,800
Speaker 1: about how many miles he has on him. He's a

2300
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: three year guy, and by the way, he's averaged in

2301
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: those three year years two thousand yards this season. That's unbelievable.

2302
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 1: But that being said, but back in the day when

2303
01:54:19,080 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 1: guy's like OJ Simpson played four years and Archie Griffin

2304
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 1: and every other back who played for four years in

2305
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:28,640
Speaker 1: college and had just as many carries when it was

2306
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:33,240
Speaker 1: a run oriented college football game. And the same look

2307
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:36,040
Speaker 1: at Singletary, how many carries did he have in his career?

2308
01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 1: So you know, I think there's a point to be considered,

2309
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 1: But I don't understand why Taylor's not getting more loved.

2310
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:46,120
Speaker 1: When you look at that guy's numbers, they're sequon Berkeley

2311
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 1: type numbers and probably even better including his speech interesting

2312
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:54,920
Speaker 1: good points. Mike steve Any thoughts on that sounds good

2313
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, I don't have a problem with it,

2314
01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 1: certainly since since he's going to come in and everybody

2315
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: says he's gonna be um well a complimentary back to

2316
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary, or maybe he takes over at halfway

2317
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: through the season because he's being productive. Um, I have

2318
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 1: a problem with it. If he's a good player, let's

2319
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 1: grab him. If he's there at fifty four. What do

2320
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 1: you think, Murph about the Leonard Fournette story. He's gonna

2321
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:19,800
Speaker 1: come very cheaply, but only for a one year deal

2322
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:22,480
Speaker 1: because he runs out. What do you think, Well, again,

2323
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:24,880
Speaker 1: that impacts how much you want to give up for him,

2324
01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm not talking about salary, I'm talking

2325
01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:30,080
Speaker 1: about draft picks. I guess the fourth rounder would be

2326
01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 1: the upper limit of how far I'd go to get

2327
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. And I wouldn't break my back doing it either.

2328
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:37,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if i'd give him the fourth

2329
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 1: rounder for a one year, but a fifth I would

2330
01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 1: one year, a one year, prove it deal on for

2331
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 1: Leonard Fourtt Fournette at running back, a position that's very

2332
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:50,480
Speaker 1: easy to replace on the open market, either in the

2333
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 1: draft or in free agency. You don't have to spend

2334
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 1: a ton to get one on your roster in the draft.

2335
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:58,040
Speaker 1: You get him for a fifth round draft pick for

2336
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:01,280
Speaker 1: one year, a year when he would be highly motivated

2337
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:04,760
Speaker 1: to get another contract from a team. Might be, might

2338
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: be a pretty valuable fifth round draft pick. Might be,

2339
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 1: might be I'm not ruling it out. There's a call

2340
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:17,160
Speaker 1: from Mark in Buffalo, Hi, Mark around the ear running

2341
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:21,360
Speaker 1: a couple of running makes get eggers than we don't

2342
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 1: hate nobody. What's your question? What if everybody gets injured? Yeah, yeah,

2343
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: I start learning fun. Then we don't have no one

2344
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: to deck him up. M right, that'd be a problem.

2345
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna find somebody to do that. They'll

2346
01:56:39,160 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 1: they'll find somebody. Where are you gonna get him? And

2347
01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:42,800
Speaker 1: who's it gonna be is the real question. There's no

2348
01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: question they're gonna have another guy on the roster when

2349
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 1: training camp breaks. Uh t j Yelden's there. Christian Wade.

2350
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 1: Is there a guy they either draft or Christian or

2351
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:55,240
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette will be there. And also there'll be another

2352
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 1: one or two guys on top of that that will

2353
01:56:57,200 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 1: be in training camp with his club. So they'll have

2354
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:03,440
Speaker 1: some rookie free agents that don't get drafted signed as

2355
01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 1: running backs or some guys off the off the street

2356
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: as free agents from NFL teams that will be on

2357
01:57:09,280 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 1: the roster when training camp open. So they'll have enough

2358
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 1: bodies to put on the field. Um, but how and

2359
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 1: who they get them and how much they have to

2360
01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:21,080
Speaker 1: give up to get those guys and who they are

2361
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:23,920
Speaker 1: is really the question. One more call, Sean, is on

2362
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:27,280
Speaker 1: the line show where you're calling from? I'm calling from

2363
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 1: King Ferry, New York, King Ferry. I've never heard of that.

2364
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 1: Where is that? My my call? It is south of

2365
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 1: Auburn between all Um Yaaco Lake. What's that bya Wasco Lake?

2366
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah you got it? Yeah, between Kuga and Ouasco closer

2367
01:57:47,360 --> 01:57:50,200
Speaker 1: to k But yeah, you got it. So hey, what's

2368
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 1: on your mind today, Sean? Running back? Um? You know

2369
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:58,760
Speaker 1: I like Zach Moss in the draft. There's a there's

2370
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,640
Speaker 1: a lot there is pretty deep. It looks like at

2371
01:58:01,760 --> 01:58:04,240
Speaker 1: running back. Um, I was wondering if you guys know

2372
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: if freedman m Atlanta Falcons running back, if he's still

2373
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,960
Speaker 1: a free agent last I knew he was. I think

2374
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:15,480
Speaker 1: if they didn't want to go running back, he would

2375
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 1: be really good in the free agent acquisition. UM. I

2376
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,080
Speaker 1: know he's had a little bit of an injury as

2377
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 1: of late, but he's he's been a real productive back

2378
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Omar Ballas is another one I've seen.

2379
01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys seen him out of

2380
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:37,720
Speaker 1: Arkansas State. In terms of wide receiver, that guy is amazing.

2381
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 1: Michael Orvin says he's just got a natural passing hands

2382
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 1: some people. So you're definitely in the market for a

2383
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:46,840
Speaker 1: running back for the Bill, Sean, is that what you're

2384
01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:51,640
Speaker 1: telling us? Well, no, well I'm I'm I'm saying I

2385
01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 1: won't mind seeing a running back if it's a good

2386
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 1: running back, you know, like, uh, definitely I want mine

2387
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:01,600
Speaker 1: seeing like third round, own, fourth round. I think third,

2388
01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 1: fourth round for a good running back. If you just

2389
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:08,680
Speaker 1: want like a backup, maybe a developmental guy that you

2390
01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 1: can just plug in there to take some snaps away

2391
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 1: from Singletary. Along with what I see as more of

2392
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 1: a wide receiver back in um, who's the other guy

2393
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:23,400
Speaker 1: we have there, Art, Yeah, Yelbin. I mean I look

2394
01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:25,840
Speaker 1: at him as more of a wide receiving frat. I

2395
01:59:25,960 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: think he should honestly be on the field more. I

2396
01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: think we got Patrick Marco for another one more season,

2397
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:36,480
Speaker 1: and I think Yelban was productive out of the backfield.

2398
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 1: He might even have played some of that slot the

2399
01:59:40,240 --> 01:59:43,800
Speaker 1: DeMarco played in some of those offensive sets. And Steve

2400
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on all of this, Well, yeah, I agree

2401
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:49,520
Speaker 1: with Yeah. I don't know enough about Omar Ballas or

2402
01:59:49,600 --> 01:59:52,760
Speaker 1: Zach Moss. Antonio Freeman I guess from the Atlanta Falcons

2403
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:54,920
Speaker 1: is who you're talking about. He's like the two guys

2404
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:56,720
Speaker 1: and I can't even remember their names from the Houston

2405
01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:59,000
Speaker 1: Texas that they both released both their running backs in

2406
01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:02,880
Speaker 1: the same day, and both those guys that a thousand

2407
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 1: yards this last year. Running backs on the free agent

2408
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 1: market in the NFL, you can get guys who have

2409
02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 1: proven that they can get it done. In the NFL,

2410
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:12,760
Speaker 1: the question is do they have something left in the tank?

2411
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:15,840
Speaker 1: What do you have to do to sign them? Certainly

2412
02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:17,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some guys available in the draft, and

2413
02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:21,600
Speaker 1: my point I guess overall Murph is don't worry that

2414
02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary standing there by himself or with t J.

2415
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Yelden and that's all they've got. There are a ton

2416
02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 1: of guys that they can sign at running back who

2417
02:00:32,280 --> 02:00:36,640
Speaker 1: will be quality guys, proven guys, and guys with upside

2418
02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:40,760
Speaker 1: as well available before they get into training camp. But

2419
02:00:40,840 --> 02:00:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm with a lot of these people, that's the one

2420
02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:45,200
Speaker 1: place where you just don't have enough guys who we

2421
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:47,840
Speaker 1: know who they are, either as a draft pick with

2422
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:50,760
Speaker 1: qualities that we can look at or veteran free agents

2423
02:00:50,800 --> 02:00:53,160
Speaker 1: who we can go back and watch film of. None

2424
02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 1: of us know who it's gonna be, and to me,

2425
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 1: that gives Bill's fans a little bit of anst about

2426
02:00:57,640 --> 02:00:59,400
Speaker 1: who that is gonna because he's gonna be on the field,

2427
02:00:59,400 --> 02:01:02,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch him carry the football for Devin Singletary

2428
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:04,520
Speaker 1: when he takes you know, when he takes a breeder

2429
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:07,560
Speaker 1: or maybe in place of Devin's Singletary, whoever it may be.

2430
02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:09,240
Speaker 1: We don't know who that is going to be yet,

2431
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:10,840
Speaker 1: and I think all of us have a different theories

2432
02:01:10,880 --> 02:01:12,920
Speaker 1: to where he's going to come from. Lamar Miller and

2433
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:15,320
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde are the two Houston guys. Right, you're thinking

2434
02:01:15,320 --> 02:01:18,080
Speaker 1: to write that down, so I don't, yeah, write it down. Hey,

2457
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:41,560

2458
02:02:41,640 --> 02:02:45,680
Speaker 1: competitive throughout our colleagues and equipment steps around the league

2459
02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 1: for sure. So congratulations. How do there's a point system right?

2460
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:53,960
Speaker 1: And there? How they how does that work? Because most

2461
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 1: people don't realize that there are strict rules and regulations

2462
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,800
Speaker 1: for what even like the Caps guys were on the

2463
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: eye lines of the shoes, the jackets, all that stuff

2464
02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:05,320
Speaker 1: has to be right and you get points for and

2465
02:03:05,440 --> 02:03:09,680
Speaker 1: against yourself if somebody's in the right or wrong uniform. Yeah.

2466
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:12,839
Speaker 1: So pretty much it starts right away in the offseason

2467
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 1: the training program with their training hat and basically like, um,

2468
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:22,440
Speaker 1: you get points for pretty much, you know, your head coach, quarterback,

2469
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:25,800
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, you know, guys wearing the right headwear to

2470
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 1: practices and on the sidelines, and you know, we make

2471
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:31,280

2473
02:03:35,680 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 1: the certain programs with the crucial catch and salute to

2474
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:41,480
Speaker 1: service that we have to constantly switch out and make

2475
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: sure guys are wearing the right hats on the sideline,

2476
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, press conferences, and you know, we're super lucky

2477
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:51,160
Speaker 1: that with coach McDermott and the you know, the players

2478
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:54,880
Speaker 1: are always super accommodating wearing you know, the right the

2479
02:03:55,040 --> 02:03:58,480
Speaker 1: right product for us, and so yeah, you get points,

2480
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:01,320
Speaker 1: and you know, we kind of get an update throughout

2481
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:03,800
Speaker 1: the year, especially with you know, our reps in talent

2482
02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 1: with new era, Ike and Kyle kind of give us

2483
02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 1: a little heads of like, hey, this is where you

2484
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 1: guys are at. So then you know, we kind of

2485
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:13,160
Speaker 1: knew like midway through the season and we had a

2486
02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 1: solid chance at getting the belt this year. So we, uh,

2487
02:04:17,280 --> 02:04:20,280
Speaker 1: my staff and I want pretty hard and UM did

2488
02:04:20,320 --> 02:04:24,320
Speaker 1: a great job with it. Jeff Mazerich is director of

2489
02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:27,680
Speaker 1: equipment Operations for the Buffalo Bills. Jeff, it's always impressed

2490
02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:31,920
Speaker 1: me how your group works UM in such a quick manner.

2491
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean you got to see it to believe it.

2492
02:04:33,680 --> 02:04:36,680
Speaker 1: After a road game, how quickly you guys get everybody,

2493
02:04:37,080 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, get everybody's equipment packed and get all the

2494
02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 1: equipment packed and get them loaded into trucks. It's it's

2495
02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:45,480
Speaker 1: kind of a it's pretty amazing to see that happen.

2496
02:04:45,560 --> 02:04:47,840
Speaker 1: And I know you you take great pride in that. Right.

2497
02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:49,520
Speaker 1: The coach wants to be on that plane coming home

2498
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 1: as quick as he can. Yeah, for sure. I mean

2499
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: I think as soon as Usually it's within an hour

2500
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:57,880
Speaker 1: is what coach likes to be out of the locker

2501
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: room on a visiting when we're on the road. And

2502
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 1: I think this year we did it an under fifty minutes, um,

2503
02:05:03,760 --> 02:05:07,400
Speaker 1: getting everything packed up. Um. And my staff, my my

2504
02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:12,280
Speaker 1: group of assistants are phenomenal. We all work together super hard. Um.

2505
02:05:13,040 --> 02:05:15,320
Speaker 1: And then we have a lot of help to not

2506
02:05:15,520 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: just my staff, but you know, like the trainers, the

2507
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 1: video guys, um, you know, the broadcasting crew. Those guys

2508
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:24,240
Speaker 1: are always you know, in a hurry getting stuff, you know,

2509
02:05:24,280 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 1: a getting stuff done. But uh, and I'll start a

2510
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 1: trucking company as well. But like I said, we just

2511
02:05:29,240 --> 02:05:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of grind it out and get it done.

2512
02:05:32,240 --> 02:05:34,920
Speaker 1: And um, most of the credit goes to to my

2513
02:05:35,240 --> 02:05:38,400
Speaker 1: my staff of assistants. Can you use the name of

2514
02:05:38,440 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 1: those assistants. Jeff, can you run down the name of

2515
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:45,080
Speaker 1: the crew there, the assistant Jeff, Yeah, the assistant directors

2516
02:05:45,360 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Haws, and then equipment assistants Austin Scobell and Corey Rublin,

2517
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:54,400
Speaker 1: and then um our full season in turns, Nick Prince

2518
02:05:56,040 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 1: and those guys will get a piece of the belt too,

2519
02:05:57,840 --> 02:06:01,760
Speaker 1: right right, they know for sure we'll get uh, we'll

2520
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:04,000
Speaker 1: have it in the office. And Scobes is, uh, he's

2521
02:06:04,040 --> 02:06:05,680
Speaker 1: going to get the first one to have the first

2522
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 1: picture with it because he, uh, he did most of

2523
02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the work at one point. There's a few times even

2524
02:06:11,400 --> 02:06:14,360
Speaker 1: our new Arabbs saw one of the home games a

2525
02:06:14,440 --> 02:06:16,320
Speaker 1: couple of guys weren't wearing the right hats, and he

2526
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:19,160
Speaker 1: went up to them and switched them out on the sidelines. So,

2527
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 1: like I said, we all take great pride in what

2528
02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: we do. And um, yeah, it's been it's been pretty cool.

2529
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:29,520
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of text messages from players

2530
02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:32,840
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, coach and Brandon and so it's

2531
02:06:32,880 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 1: been it's been pretty cool. A few days. Yeah, I

2532
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:38,120
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, are you gonna treat the belt like

2533
02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:40,040
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup. You gotta gotta give it to one

2534
02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:41,800
Speaker 1: of your staff. Guys, they can wear the belt out

2535
02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:44,040
Speaker 1: for a night, you know, and have have. I guess

2536
02:06:44,080 --> 02:06:46,120
Speaker 1: we can't really, they can't really go out anywhere because

2537
02:06:46,160 --> 02:06:48,320
Speaker 1: of the because of the quarantine. But do you pass

2538
02:06:48,360 --> 02:06:50,240
Speaker 1: it around? Let them take it home, show their families

2539
02:06:50,280 --> 02:06:53,760
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, Oh for sure. Yeah. I mean, um,

2540
02:06:54,240 --> 02:06:56,280
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten the belt yet. I'm hoping to get

2541
02:06:56,320 --> 02:06:59,640
Speaker 1: it soon. Um, but we'll definitely pass it around. Take

2542
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:02,720
Speaker 1: some pictures. Uh, you know, good coach, get a picture

2543
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:05,000
Speaker 1: with coaching and Josh, because I mean, like I said,

2544
02:07:05,040 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 1: the players you know, and our coaching staff and the

2545
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:12,200
Speaker 1: guys are just everyone just works together. And um, it's

2546
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, the war as much as there's It is

2547
02:07:15,080 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 1: mine and my staff who won the belt last year. Um, shoot,

2548
02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:25,120
Speaker 1: I want to say Kansas City. I think I'm not

2549
02:07:25,240 --> 02:07:27,480
Speaker 1: too sure, but I mean we're gonna repeat so it

2550
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 1: doesn't you know. We're I gotta ask you. You can

2551
02:07:31,880 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 1: up in Western New York. You're a native here. Give

2552
02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:36,160
Speaker 1: us a little quick history of your background. Where did

2553
02:07:36,200 --> 02:07:39,360
Speaker 1: you grow up and how long you've been with the Bills. Um, yes,

2554
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 1: I grew up in West Seneca. I went to Saint

2555
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Francis for high school and I've been with the clubs

2556
02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:46,960
Speaker 1: and this will be my twenty fourth year. I've been

2557
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:50,320
Speaker 1: there since I was sixteen, working my way up. Actually

2558
02:07:50,480 --> 02:07:53,440
Speaker 1: was on the road trip your final game in Green

2559
02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Bay when you get the boot, Hee's going to help

02:07:56,040 --> 02:08:00,520
Speaker 1: you with equipment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew. I knew

2561
02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:02,440
Speaker 1: you were there the last couple of years in my career,

2562
02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:06,320
Speaker 1: and uh, he'd been there a long time. Yeah, it worked.

2563
02:08:06,320 --> 02:08:08,120
Speaker 1: You know. I just worked as a ball boy starting

2564
02:08:08,160 --> 02:08:10,480
Speaker 1: when I was young and just kind of, you know,

2565
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:13,800
Speaker 1: worked my way up. It's a help of all the

2566
02:08:14,040 --> 02:08:17,040
Speaker 1: interns and my assistant, you know, to get where're at now.

2567
02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Is is pretty it's a pretty cool. It's a pretty

2568
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:22,800
Speaker 1: cool thing for sure, especially being the hometown. Jeff, let

2569
02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 1: me run something by it. I need your personal opinion

2570
02:08:25,240 --> 02:08:27,120
Speaker 1: on this. It is an area of expertise for you.

2571
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:29,760
Speaker 1: I had a friend who was fired or no, it

2572
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:32,040
Speaker 1: wasn't fired. He left as head coach of the NBA

2573
02:08:32,120 --> 02:08:34,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers a month or so ago, and about a

2574
02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,120
Speaker 1: week later, one of his former players, they're going to

2575
02:08:37,200 --> 02:08:39,640
Speaker 1: start him. He's a rookie, took off his warm ups

2576
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:42,240
Speaker 1: and did not have a jersey on, and we had

2577
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 1: some people in our little department there saying, well, somebody's

2578
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 1: got to be in charge of that, and I saw,

2579
02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:48,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I think it's I think it's okay

2580
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:51,000
Speaker 1: to ask players to put the uniform on. Right? Is

2581
02:08:51,040 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 1: that too much to ask? What's your opinion? Is it

2582
02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:56,760
Speaker 1: up to you? To me, it really upsets me because

2583
02:08:57,600 --> 02:09:00,320
Speaker 1: it's just indicative of the way the Cavaliers treat every thing. Right.

2584
02:09:00,360 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 1: It's like, oh whatever, Oh I don't have my jersey

2585
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:04,960
Speaker 1: and okay, I won't start. That's not the equipment guy's fault,

2586
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:08,560
Speaker 1: is it. Um. I mean, to a certain extent, as

2587
02:09:08,600 --> 02:09:10,480
Speaker 1: long as you know, if he had it in his locker,

2588
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:13,640
Speaker 1: then you know he should award. But you know, and

2589
02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: I think most of you guys have seen like um

2590
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:18,360
Speaker 1: like for games, like most of the we put most

2591
02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:21,120
Speaker 1: probably ninety five percent of the jerseys on the pads

2592
02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:24,920
Speaker 1: um before the guys you know, get to the locker room.

2593
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:27,120
Speaker 1: So we wouldn't have that issue with games. But there's

2594
02:09:27,120 --> 02:09:29,880
Speaker 1: been times where you know, guys come up to walk

2595
02:09:29,920 --> 02:09:33,280
Speaker 1: through a practice without their T shirt or their jersey on,

2596
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:35,520
Speaker 1: and you know coach sends them in for sure. I mean,

2597
02:09:35,560 --> 02:09:39,920
Speaker 1: that's you know, like you know, coach, you know, with accountability.

2598
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:42,840
Speaker 1: It's all comes down to accountability and um our guys,

2599
02:09:42,880 --> 02:09:44,960
Speaker 1: our players. You know, we don't ever have to worry

2600
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:49,520
Speaker 1: about that with our guys for sure. Good Bye. Hey, Jeff,

2601
02:09:49,560 --> 02:09:51,280
Speaker 1: can get go ahead and see if I'm sorry. Yeah,

2602
02:09:51,280 --> 02:09:53,240
Speaker 1: nobody forgets their jersey. It's hard to do that in

2603
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, no question, Jeff. Congratulations to you and to

2604
02:09:57,400 --> 02:09:59,320
Speaker 1: your crew, your whole staff. That's a kind of a

2605
02:09:59,400 --> 02:10:01,200
Speaker 1: need of ward. Do me a favor if we ever

2606
02:10:01,240 --> 02:10:03,000
Speaker 1: get back to normal, which we will someday. You got

2607
02:10:03,040 --> 02:10:04,640
Speaker 1: to bring the belt into our studio so we can

2608
02:10:04,680 --> 02:10:07,240
Speaker 1: show people what it looks like. Oh for sure, we

2609
02:10:07,360 --> 02:10:09,840
Speaker 1: totally will. I appreciate it, and thank you guys. I'm

2610
02:10:09,880 --> 02:10:12,800
Speaker 1: hoping you and your families are doing well. Thanks Jeff.

2611
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Congratulations again, all right, boys, I appreciate it. Thanks Jeff.

2612
02:10:17,240 --> 02:10:19,920

2613
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 1: Bills are the AFC Equipment Staff of the Year, as

2614
02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 1: presented by New Era. I guess I didn't realize there's

2615
02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 1: point systems and somebody's keeping track. Steve not an armis

2616
02:10:29,040 --> 02:10:34,720
Speaker 1: ary man. Wait, guys, got his hat leaning the wrong way.

2617
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:37,680
Speaker 1: It goes, it goes a long way, and it extends

2618
02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:39,720
Speaker 1: into the TV side of it as well. I mean

2619
02:10:39,840 --> 02:10:42,440
Speaker 1: I was standing there trying to keep warm one day

2620
02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:45,000
Speaker 1: during the one of the games that I did, and

2621
02:10:45,200 --> 02:10:48,880
Speaker 1: I got a phone call because the parka that I

2622
02:10:49,040 --> 02:10:53,080
Speaker 1: had on the CBS gave to me had the label

2623
02:10:53,760 --> 02:10:57,040
Speaker 1: of the wrong company on it. And they called me

2624
02:10:57,040 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 1: and said, hey, listen. So I had to put a

2625
02:10:58,640 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 1: piece of black tape over the logo on my park

2626
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:04,640
Speaker 1: before we get go on the air. So they have

2627
02:11:04,760 --> 02:11:06,680
Speaker 1: people in the press box. All they do is observe

2628
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 1: that stuff, and I got busted. I can't wait to

2629
02:11:10,640 --> 02:11:13,320
Speaker 1: get back to the NFL. That kind of stuff, that

2630
02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:16,600
Speaker 1: kind of important stuff. Yeah, taking a break and we're

2631
02:11:16,640 --> 02:11:18,920
Speaker 1: coming back. One Bill's Live presented by Colott of Health

2632
02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Radio Only. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. What have we

2633
02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:34,400
Speaker 1: learned is brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction

2634
02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:37,400
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. We had Charles

2635
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Davis on the show from the NFL Network. He's going

2636
02:11:40,320 --> 02:11:44,360
Speaker 1: to host an NFL Draft preview special in about ten

2637
02:11:44,440 --> 02:11:47,440
Speaker 1: minutes on the NFL Network. We asked him our question

2638
02:11:47,480 --> 02:11:49,120
Speaker 1: of to day, how would he go about adding a

2639
02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:51,240
Speaker 1: running back for the Bill's roster. Here's what he said.

2640
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm always big on adding another runner just because of

2641
02:11:54,760 --> 02:11:58,680
Speaker 1: the nature position. You know, how many guys get through

2642
02:11:58,720 --> 02:12:02,240
Speaker 1: it unscabed, right, That's why runners. You know, the average

2643
02:12:02,440 --> 02:12:05,440
Speaker 1: NFL career is what three years, let's just call it three.

2644
02:12:05,480 --> 02:12:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what the latest number is on that

2645
02:12:07,880 --> 02:12:10,440
Speaker 1: for runners is less than that. You know, too many hits,

2646
02:12:10,520 --> 02:12:12,960
Speaker 1: too many things going on. I would go into the

2647
02:12:13,120 --> 02:12:16,120
Speaker 1: draft and get my own guy. I would not think

2648
02:12:16,280 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 1: very hard about trading for Leonard Fournette. He is not

2649
02:12:19,320 --> 02:12:22,000
Speaker 1: the guy that would get a top ten pick, where

2650
02:12:22,080 --> 02:12:26,320
Speaker 1: jacksually has not produced to that level. Well there you go,

2651
02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:28,480
Speaker 1: and I kind of agree with Charles Davis. But fifty

2652
02:12:28,520 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 1: one percent of our respondents on the Twitter poll said

2653
02:12:31,080 --> 02:12:33,919
Speaker 1: draft a running back, thirty percent said trade for Fournette.

2654
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:37,040
Speaker 1: At nineteen hundred votes in, it was an interesting discussion today.

2655
02:12:37,080 --> 02:12:44,200
Speaker 1: See yeah, it was. Hey, tomorrow's show should be good tomorrow,

2656
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:47,560
Speaker 1: not that today's wasn't tomorrow. Today's show was pretty good too. Tomorrow.

2657
02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:49,480
Speaker 1: Terall Owens t O will be on with us and

2658
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:52,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Clark from The Ringer joined just Steve, are you there? Yeah,

2659
02:12:52,680 --> 02:12:55,480
Speaker 1: I am now. I was surprised, not surprised, because everybody's

2660
02:12:55,480 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 1: got their own plan about how the bills should attack

2661
02:12:57,280 --> 02:12:59,040
Speaker 1: the running back spot, where they get the guy, how

2662
02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:01,400
Speaker 1: much they should spend, where he's going to be available,

2663
02:13:01,480 --> 02:13:05,440
Speaker 1: which guy. For some reason, everybody turned into a GM today.

2664
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:06,920
Speaker 1: I loved it, and I loved the calls we got,

2665
02:13:07,040 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 1: and I love to hear in their plans. Some of

2666
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:10,000
Speaker 1: them are pretty good, and we'll see which one of

2667
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,360
Speaker 1: them drank, because somebody's got to be right. So that's

2668
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:13,920
Speaker 1: how you know you're getting close to the draft. Our
