4
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: from one to three this afternoon. We've all been up

5
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: for quite some time because around six to fifteen, the

6
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: earth was rumbling and rattling, and a lot of people

7
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: thought snowplows ran into their apartments or houses. I thought

8
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: a lightning bolt struck our apartment, and I was looking

9
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: for a mushi. I was ready to go. Yeah, I

10
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: was looking for a mushroom cloud off in the distance.

11
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: It sounded like a very distant but distinct explosion, like

12
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: a TV explosion. I was like, oh my gosh, something

13
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: went off. I thought a gas truck, a gas explosion

14
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: something or a jet crash or something something big and big.

15
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: Boom rumbled and you know everybody, boom shook the house. Everybody.

16
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I was up, man, you you could. I don't know

17
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: if I've been that alive alert away around wake up.

18
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Around six sure, six fifteen, I was still snoozing. I

19
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: was gonna go off. At six thirty six fifteen rolls around.

20
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: Usually I'm a little tired on Monday mornings coming off

21
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: a weekend, and boom, you're awake. I am, I'm not above,

22
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: are not snoozing. I'm gonna point in my life, Maddie

23
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: when I can be a little bit vulnerable here with

24
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: our listeners for a minute there, I was terrified. I

25
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: thought I wanted to say I was out like a light. No,

26
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I was terriff. I was like, I was really like, Wow,

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: that really is because you knew it was something. It

28
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: was not just like the temperature changing in your attic

29
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and the and the board's creaking or something, right, it

30
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: was it was more than that, yes, And I was

31
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: looking at like is the world? Yeah? I was seriously

32
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: looking for the like a smoke plume or something in

33
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: the distance, trying to figure it out. And I gave it.

34
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, I gave it like literally five minutes. So

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: did you get out of bed? Look out there? I

36
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: was not going. Was done. I was done. I'm exhausted

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: right now. I needn't nap. So I was done. And

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: so I gave it like five minutes and then took

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: the phone out, looked at Twitter and found out, yeah,

40
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: everybody it was. I went straight to Twitter, saw it

41
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: wasn't just me. I thought it was an earthquake ends

42
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: up being an earthquake. But I as I was on Twitter,

43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: some people were saying I started to get dressed and

44
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: like kind of get ready for whatever the situation was.

45
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: I stayed in bed for another twenty minutes. What's going on?

46
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: It was like it was like the Quiet Place or something, right,

47
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: the meteors come down and the monsters come out, or Armageddon,

48
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, zombie land, you know all this stuff. You thought,

49
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: what's you know this is? You look the doors and

50
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: keep quiet whatever. Yeah, I was like, well, if I'm

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, you you have your fight

52
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: or flight. I guess I'm just staying in bed. I

53
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: wasn't getting ready to do anything. Yeah, it was. And

54
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I related this two years ago. We

55
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: were in a restaurant having dinner in southern California, in

56
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: San Diego with some friends and a little in a

57
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: small earthquake rumbled through the restaurant in the in the

58
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: area whatever, and and you know they had the pendent

59
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: lights coming down. This one hang from the ceiling and

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: they swung a little bit. I shook a little bit,

61
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: and you know, us like you and me are right now.

62
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: We were like, wow, what was that? Did you? And

63
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: we're looking around like wow, we're you know, we're kind

64
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: of losing our minds a little bit, like wow is

65
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: that the thing? And all the people that were from

66
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: there were like they were like what were you saying?

67
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what I missed that? Yeah? They just went

68
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: right on. They was like they didn't even think about it.

69
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: They were just like nothing. And yeah, today us Buffalonians

70
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: are with our conversation freaking out, freaking out because this

71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. I've been here for over three and

72
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: a half decades. First one, Yeah, I saw a tweet

73
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: that said this is going to register on maybe like

74
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: top five for Buffalo, and the three or four before

75
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: then we're like eighteen hundreds, nineteen twenties, nineteen sixties were

76
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: when other ones happened that were a higher magnitude than

77
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: the three point eight. So, you know, nothing like getting

78
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: your Monday started with a little bit of earthquake action.

79
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo's had it all this year, you know, the snow, now,

80
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: the earthqua what's next. Hopefully we have a nice and

81
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: easy rest of the winter or early spring early spring.

82
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: Good tempts the sun out. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, the

83
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: sun is out in Arizona as Super Bowl Week is

84
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: here for the Chiefs and the Eagles. They all touched

85
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: down in Arizona, and so the events of the Super

86
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 1: Bowl begin for both teams, and it's a full week

87
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: of things for them. I believe media Night opening night

88
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: is tonight, so they will be speaking with several different

89
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: media members. It's the sound bites the videos that you see.

90
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: Really if people just swarmed around each guy for that hour,

91
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: that they get where you're not really even talking about

92
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: the game, you're talking about anything but the game. It

93
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: seems like some crazy questions are thrown their way. You

94
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: have some kid reporters in the crowd and all that.

95
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: So I'll be interested to see some of the best

96
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: questions asked. No, I have not been. I've been on

97
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: both sides of it, obviously, and it's changed over the years.

98
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: When we first did it, it was a little like you.

99
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: It was just it was football people and it was

100
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: the players, and there were ten or twelve podiums and

101
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: then everybody else just kind of standing around. All the guys.

102
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: We're all in our game pants and our jerseys, you know,

103
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: and stuff, which they might be tonight, I don't know.

104
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Now it's a show and there are still the ten

105
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: or fifteen podiums, maybe a few more now and then

106
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: you know, it's just guys standing around and but it's

107
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: not foot it's not per se football media. It's entertainment media.

108
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: And you have comedians there. Yes, they're getting content for

109
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: podcasts and all this other stuff, and it's about everything

110
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: except the game that's coming up on Sunday. Yes, for

111
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: guys who have never been there before. The Chiefs and

112
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles have still got guys from their last super

113
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: you know, super bows, they've been there recently. They'll have

114
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: guys that can kind of give the guys that heads up.

115
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: But you get there and it's the first inkling you

116
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: have that the entire week is about something other than

117
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: the game you're going to play. And that's I think

118
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: it's a real realization weird mindset and mentality that cuts

119
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: down in a different place than you're used to when

120
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: you're preparing for the entire week for this game and

121
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Your entire schedule is anything but ordinary. Nobody

122
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: cares about the game. They do not care that me

123
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: they're talking about they're talking about you know, the Pro

124
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: Bowl and this, you know this other stuff, and you

125
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: know you're where you came from. What you're doing, you

126
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: know what you're doing this week? There is everything except

127
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 1: the game. Is it tough to lock in as a player,

128
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: very distracting and you and the thing too and you've

129
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: seen this too. Are guys here in the room in

130
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: the building, they go through a routine, right, there's the

131
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: routine is thrown out the window. And the energy that

132
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: you usually expend on the on the media obligations that

133
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: you have like open locker room and maybe Wednesday you

134
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: have some of the bigger guys like Josh has to

135
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: speak and stuff on Wednesdays or whatever. Yeah, it is

136
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: used up completely by like Wednesday night, Thursday morning. But

137
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: you still got Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and you're still inundated

138
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: with more media, more media, more attention, more this and

139
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: more that you just get fed up with. It's it's

140
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: a tough tough week for these guys, and you got

141
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: to kind of acclimate yourselves and going knowing that's going

142
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: to be different. Well, these two rosters have been put

143
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: together in very different ways. I saw an NFL article

144
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: that got released today that kind of details, and it's

145
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: been a topic of conversation, I would say over the

146
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: last weeks as people are starting to peek behind the

147
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: curtain of how these teams got build And of course

148
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the people who follow those teams know better than us,

149
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: but people who work in the NFL who are not

150
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl anymore, this is our week to

151
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: kind of look at these rosters and you know, compare

152
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: and contrast. Would what would you like the Bills to

153
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: have that the Chiefs and the Eagles have? And so

154
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: this article kind of details how the Eagles kind of

155
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: have put their roster together, and how gms of yesterday

156
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: are very different than gms of today, and how it's

157
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: really a win now mindset, and maybe draft picks aren't

158
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: as important as they as they have been in the past,

159
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: and it's important to find people and use your capital

160
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: in terms of money and salary cap through free agency

161
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: rather than the draft. We saw the La Rams do it.

162
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: They won a Super Bowl this year and didn't even

163
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs. Is that worth it? That's

164
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: a good question. So kind of details how the Eagles

165
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: traded for some really good talent and then you look

166
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs and they have a lot of rookies

167
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: that are playing meaningful minutes and meaningful snaps on their roster.

168
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: I think it's five of their eight rookies have really

169
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: contributed to this roster this season. So we'll get into

170
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of that today and also compare the

171
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: Bills to that. I looked at where all all of

172
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the starters on the depth chart if you go to

173
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: the team's website for the Eagles, the Chiefs, and the

174
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Bills where they were drafted. So we'll get into that

175
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: later in the show to kind of compare, okay, first

176
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: round picks, you know, fourth and beyond. Can we draw

177
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: anything from this? Is it similar across the board? We

178
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: also had a mock draft watch that went out on Friday,

179
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: so we'll also look into who's being mocked to the

180
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Bills at that number twenty seven spot. It's honestly kind

181
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: of all over the board. Because free agency hasn't hit yet,

182
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: that's when it starts to come together a little bit.

183
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: So don't don't spoil it. I know, I know you

184
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: have that's crazy. I know you have a take. I

185
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: know you have a take. Yeah, I mean I get it.

186
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: It's fun and we all get to because it's fun

187
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: because you know what, we all have a voice. We'll

188
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: have an opinion and people people are ready to list

189
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: my opinion in your opinion or just as battle as

190
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: each other, just like somebody we don't you know, somebody

191
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: who doesn't even know whether the balls stuffed are blown up.

192
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Their opinions just as valid, you know, because there's so

193
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: much we don't know right now about what's going to

194
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: happen the draft. And I'll say it again, there's a

195
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: couple of teams they don't even have a head coach yet. Yes,

196
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: so I mean, what are we you know, it's hard?

197
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: Why are we going? Why are we talking about this today?

198
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: It's fun and it's Monday, and it's Monday, the week

199
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, and the Bills unfortunately aren't in

200
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: it this season. Pro Bowl happened this weekend that wrapped

201
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: up with the Flag football game on Sunday. I was

202
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: talking about on Thursday night how I tuned into all

203
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: of the skills challenges and really like that, did not

204
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: tune in at all. On Sunday, I was busy doing

205
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,359
Speaker 1: other things, didn't put the game on. But the NFC

206
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: one with I think the scores thirty five to thirty three,

207
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: and that's factoring in the score leading into that game.

208
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: So NFC goes home with a little bit more money

209
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: in their pockets compared to the AFC. Tasker, Did you

210
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: watch any of this? No? No, but you didn't. You

211
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: did watch a formal former Pro Bowl game? Right? I

212
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: went back. Yes, it popped up on my timeline, okay,

213
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 1: and it was somebody going, hey, remember this, this is

214
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: look at this game compared to like the game that

215
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: I called on a radio a couple of years ago

216
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: when it was in Orlando, and and these things that

217
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: they're doing now, it's not a game. It's you know,

218
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: it's flag football, seven on seven. It's uh, you know,

219
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: Ti ta kick tac toe, you know, the water balloom toss, dodgeball,

220
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: longest drive, you know, all that stuff's going on, and

221
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: it's not even a football game except and this is

222
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: the closest thing, was the seven on seven flag football.

223
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: And I went back and somebody put on the nineteen

224
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: ninety three Pro Bowl, which you know, I was in

225
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: with a bunch of guys, and it was unbelievable. In

226
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: the fifteen minute highlight thing that it was. It's kind

227
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: of extensive. There was twenty five penalty that weren't penalties

228
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: then that would be now, oh god, like bad hits

229
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: real game. Yeah, we had like gotten that Stever's getting

230
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: hung out and getting laid out by by safeties and stuff.

231
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I was like, what are we dumb?

232
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: We've got here's some of it. It was. It was idiotic.

233
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: I look back at It's like, what were we doing there?

234
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: You go, and it was I mean, yeah, that's yeah,

235
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: I made that tackle there. So I just crazy stuff.

236
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: You know, guys just you know, getting laid out and

237
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: um quarterback Steve Young, Dan Marino, Troy Aikman, um, all

238
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: the you know Hall of Fame guys everywhere. And Marino

239
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: you just gave a high five of your watching on MSG.

240
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: You've got blood rolling down your elbow. It was yeah,

241
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: I do. It was yeah. So it was rough. So

242
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: I I was looking at these guys. Marino like throws

243
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: this ball, he gets batted in the air and after

244
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: he throws the balls to getting tipped backwards out of

245
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: the you know, it's how to play. I think it

246
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: was Ricky Jackson of the Saints just two hand Jackson

247
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: in the chest, boom and just lays him out. This

248
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: is you know, Marino, I'm like, what is this bowl?

249
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: It's the Pro Bowl. These guys are just just waxing

250
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: each other. We were done, We were so stupid. Now

251
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: it's a flag football game. Fast forward to twenty three.

252
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: It's a flag football game. It's literally flag football. And

253
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, and why were guys playing so hard back then?

254
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Was it for the ten grand? Winner takes home ten K,

255
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: loser takes home five. No, No, loser takes home five,

256
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: ten K, winner takes home twenty, So it was the

257
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: ten ten grand difference, okay, And I remember thinking this,

258
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: we really need to win this game because you know,

259
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: I brought the whole family and the you know people,

260
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: the whole you know, I had the whole fam damnily.

261
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I got a break even on the trip.

262
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: I really you know it shoving right. And this was

263
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: back when most of like maybe half those rosters, we're

264
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: probably making seven figures and I was nowhere near that.

265
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a long weekend in Vegas

266
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: for most of these guys. They were having for that money,

267
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: they were having fun. And I'm telling you what I was.

268
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I didn't remember it being that intense. I really didn't,

269
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: and I was looking at it by comparison. It's crazy.

270
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: Brought you back, right, I got, I had a couple

271
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: of injur I got, I got my finger broke. I

272
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: think of my finger got broken in that game, actually,

273
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure, um one of that one of

274
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: the other ones. But it was crazy to think about.

275
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: And then you see this and when I get it

276
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: to the stuff they're doing now, it's kind of, you know,

277
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: in some ways, and I don't want to take this

278
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: wrong way. In some ways, it's better because it gets

279
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: a chance for you because they have so many cameras

280
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: and so much access with the media that you can

281
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: get to a chance to see these guys interact between themselves,

282
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: like on their sideline. That's one thing that I heard

283
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: people say, you know, not having a helmet on, it's

284
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: you see more of the personality and a flag football game,

285
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: and really and you see more of the personality from

286
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: guys that are defensive lineman and offensive linemen. So that's

287
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: what people enjoyed. I was listening to Good Morning Football

288
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: when I was getting ready this morning, and that's one

289
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: takeaway that they had was that was fun to see

290
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: the personality without helmets. I agree. I agree with that.

291
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: So the game ends, I saw this on Twitter. The

292
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: NFC is up thirty five to thirty three. So the

293
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: score is that high because you already have a fixed

294
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: score going into it based on the skills challenges. So

295
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: the AFC was up twenty one to fifteen. So the

296
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: NFC was really going to have to put on a

297
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: show in the flag football game. They ended up doing so.

298
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: So I think there's like forty one seconds left on

299
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: the clock and Kirk Cousins, I think they're within they're

300
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And I can't remember the exact

301
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: rules for flag football, but I think within the ten

302
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: yard line you can't you can't run, or maybe it's

303
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: within the ones. You get into the red zone, you

304
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: can't run the ball. And so Kirk Cousins starts to

305
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: kneel down, and Peyton Manning is saying, that's a penalty

306
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: because that's a rushing attempt. You can't rush. You're too

307
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: close to the goal line, so you cannot have a

308
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: rushing attempt. So Peyton Manning is yelling, you know, it's

309
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: a penalty. It's a penalty. It's a penalty. There's still

310
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: time on the clock. The game is not over, and

311
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: I guess the ref told Kirk Cousins that he could

312
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: kneel down. So Peyton was very upset about the way

313
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: that the game ended. And Justin Jefferson is waving goodbye

314
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: to the AFC and Peyton just looks pissed by Manning

315
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: gets dumped with water. He's celebrating. He has some offhand

316
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: comment about how he's, you know, he's the better coach

317
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: to the two brothers, something something to that degree. But

318
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: Peyton was not pleased. That is hilarious. That is hilarious.

319
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: It makes sense, but well, what are you gonna do?

320
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: You know? That's right, that's right, yep. So that's a

321
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: rap on the twenty twenty three Pro Bowl games. We

322
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: had seven guys in the Pro Bowl. Dawson Ox caught

323
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: a two point conversion. I saw, Um, there's a clip

324
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: that I saw on Twitter two of Treyvon Diggs and

325
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs guarding each other. The ball did not go

326
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs's way. Step funny to see him jawing at

327
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: each other. Yes, Steph threw an interception to his brother

328
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: so it was there, it is right there through it

329
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: and it goes the other way for it. He threw

330
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: a pick six to his brother. That's hilarious. I can

331
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: see that. I have three older brothers. I can't imagine

332
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: a worse scenario. And then I didn't. I didn't catch

333
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 1: up on the best catch, but Stefon Diggs was voted

334
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: to go on to the final round the best catch.

335
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: It was him and i'm on Ross Saint Brown, and

336
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I guess Stefon Diggs and Treyvon Diggs they kind of

337
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Steph must have been like, hey, help me out. I

338
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: want you to help me out for the best catch

339
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: for the finale here, and I guess it was a disaster.

340
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't good at all compared to Aman Ross Saint Brown.

341
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: He had I don't know who he had with him,

342
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: but his catches were way better than Stefon Diggs. So

343
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: a'm and Ross Saint Brown ends up winning that, and

344
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: I guess Steph was pissed with where Trayvon was throwing

345
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: the ball. So it looks like these two didn't even

346
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: practice it, and maybe maybe they didn't. You know, they're

347
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: two professional NFL players, so do they really need to practice,

348
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: UM throwing a ball in the air to a point

349
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: where Steph can catch it. So as Steff is in

350
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: the air, he jumps off this tiny little trampoline to

351
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: like land into a mat, and Treyvon's throwing the ball

352
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: up and Steff is like in the air, pissed off

353
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: at his brother for where the ball is being placed.

354
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: So they're just like arguing, like two brothers would That

355
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: is great. That is great? Yeah, so not good? Not good.

356
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: The one in the pool was way better, Steph. That

357
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: that was great. Um, but aman Ross Saint Brown ended

358
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: up winning best Catch. But I I enjoyed that facet

359
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl. Did not watch flag football games.

360
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: UM caught up on some of that on Twitter. So right,

361
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: let's see, we'll see what it's like next year or

362
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: one of this. I wonder. Yeah, I mean they're probably

363
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna keep it up and you know, do

364
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: something and tweak it and say more of this less

365
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: of that. So I heard some players say, you know,

366
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: we like this format, we like it. But then Josh

367
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: Jacobs came out and said it was stupid that he

368
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: didn't like it. So you're you're not gonna please everybody, right,

369
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: you're not gonna please everybody. But it seemed like overall

370
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: from what I heard and saw on Twitter. If you're

371
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: watching on MSG, you're watching Aman Ross Saint Brown jump

372
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: over the Lion's mascot to make a catch, pretty epic

373
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: for the best catch. And then you have Snoop Dogg

374
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: being a part of the judging, so that was really cool.

375
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: There were some pictures of Snoop and Stefan Diggs next

376
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: to each other, so those those are cool things where

377
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: he had some of the stars, Treyvon Diggs's son Aidan Diggs,

378
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: who we've seen kind of all over the place. He

379
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: was there, the Jets kid Johnny who does the ice

380
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: cream thing after they won. It's Johnny, I got some

381
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: more ice cream. If you saw that at all during

382
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: the season, anytime the Jets won, he would get ice cream.

383
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: So they were doing the gritty on the sidelines. So

384
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: it seemed like it was kind of like the who's

385
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: who of the sports world provised me about it. It

386
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: looked like the entire stadium was packed. It looked like

387
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: the entire was packed. It looked like it. I don't

388
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: know if it was or not. I was like, people

389
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: are actually like it's a flag football game. I think

390
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: seeing kids like aiden digs on the sideline. I feel

391
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: like this format. Look at the look at the stands.

392
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: It is pretty It's crowded, completely full all the way around.

393
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: They're playing on a fifty yard field. The middle fifty

394
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: yards of the game of the field is where they're

395
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: playing twenty down to between the two twenty five yard lines,

396
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: and it's packed the whole the whole stadium is full.

397
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: Yeah for this, that's pretty wild. I was in. I

398
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: feel like this format is four kids, you know, Yeah,

399
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: kids can really get involved with this and like it.

400
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: Not that they can't with the regular football game, but

401
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: you're doing cool things like you're doing best catch, you're

402
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: doing kick tack toe, you're doing water balloons, you're doing dodgeball,

403
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: and then you're doing flag football, which a lot of

404
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: kids play flag football. Yeah, it's certainly it might be

405
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: kind of like a let's do this to help grow

406
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the game. Right now, I get it, And it's because

407
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: you k see kids see the pros doing stuff like this,

408
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: and there is something with having your helmet off smiles.

409
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: You get to see the reactions because your kids, you're

410
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: sitting at home going I can do that out of

411
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: my yard. Let's go you know that kind of thing,

412
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: and I'm all about it. I'm all about that stuff.

413
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: It's great. But it is vastly different than anything we've

414
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: ever seen the NFL do, because like a lot of

415
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: pro sports teams, like sports leagues do, they take themselves

416
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: sometimes a little too serious. And this is not that

417
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: it's not serious. This is not fun and they have

418
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: to be serious for so much of the entire year,

419
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, your eighteen week season. It's nice to see

420
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: some of these guys have fun like this. Yeah, and

421
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I was. I remember my mindset when

422
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: I went. It was always a relief to get out.

423
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: There's voice of thrill and a you know, and an

424
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: honor to be out there. But even you know, when

425
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: you've been there for a couple of times, like I went,

426
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: it was great to see the really good players in

427
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: the league and get to know them and get a

428
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: chance to say hello. It was a That was the

429
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: best part about it was, you know, seeing some guys,

430
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: getting better acquainted with some guys and and uh, you know,

431
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: just exchanging pleasantries and talking to them about their about

432
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: their position, about their team, about their season and all

433
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: of that stuff. It's fun. So I thought that was

434
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: the one thing that they got out of this flag

435
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: football thing was that kind of across the team interaction,

436
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: you know, players from different teams being you know, on

437
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: the same team and seeing that how that worked. It

438
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Yeah, I I agree. So the article

439
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: that I was speaking about in the beginning of the show,

440
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: let me get this title here. It's called making Moves.

441
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: So if you had an NFL dot com you can

442
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: see that article. I'm about halfway through it. So Jeffrey Chadia,

443
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: who wrote the article, is actually going to come on

444
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: with us at two o'clock and it goes along with

445
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: our Twitter topic. Our Twitter question today it has to

446
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: do with rosters. How you build a roster, How would

447
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: you rather build a roster? What are facets that you

448
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: like about the Chiefs roster? What do you like about

449
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles roster from how it was built to where

450
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: it's strongest upfront? Is it offensive weapons, quarterbacks? Like, what

451
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: do you like about it? So give it? Give us

452
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: a call at eight o three, five fifty or tweet

453
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: at us. We will discuss that here in the coming segments,

454
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Chadia will be able to chime into that

455
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: conversation with his in depth article about how the Chiefs

456
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: and the Eagles roster kind of came to be and

457
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: now they're on the super Bowl stage. That's what everybody

458
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: wants to do. They want to be able to make

459
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: it to the super Bowl. How do you do that?

460
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Is their right formula for it? Is there is something

461
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: trending in one direction? Is free agency really the move now?

462
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Is the draft really not as important as as much anymore?

463
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: Does it depend year to year with where the draft

464
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: is heavy in certain in certain position groups and all

465
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: of that. So we'll tap into all of that at

466
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: two o'clock, and our question is which super Bowl roster

467
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs Eagles make up would you rather have? And why? Right?

468
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: And the most basic differences are pretty obvious to people

469
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: who paid close attention. The Chiefs have Pat Mahomes who

470
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: signed that five hundred million dollars deal, and they've got

471
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: a lot of contributions from rookies from this year's draft class.

472
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: The Eagles have a quarterback on his rookie deal, and

473
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: they signed a bunch of free agents, so they spent

474
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: their money the other end, you know, and so and

475
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: both of them are in the Super Bowl. Both of

476
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: them were the one seed. Both of them scored up

477
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: to this point of the season, and through the playoffs

478
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: they've scored the exact same number of points. So it's

479
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: interesting to look at to see how teams have done it.

480
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 1: We've seen and we've heard how the window opens up

481
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: for teams if they get a quarterback who's really good

482
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: on his rookie deal and they can really make hay

483
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: during that you have more money to work with right now.

484
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: We have seen with Pat Mahomes Brady in Tampa Bay,

485
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: with Matt Stafford in LA Guys with big contracts being

486
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: able to get it done. It's interesting to think about

487
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: because certainly the Bills are in a spot where they

488
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: just signed their quarterback to an extension. He's not on

489
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: his rookie deal anymore. And they're doing it with some

490
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: and they're also doing it with some key free agents

491
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: that they've signed. And there's some you know, the Chiefs,

492
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: they deal away one of their best wide receivers and

493
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: now their wide receiver room looks really different compared to

494
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: how much they're paying Tyreek Hill versus their wide receiver room. Now,

495
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: I think on Good Morning football. They were talking about

496
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: it today. It was like, there's fifteen million dollars tied

497
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: up in the Chief's current wide receiver room right now,

498
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: compared to what Tyreek Hill is making per year, which

499
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: would have been more than fifteen million. I believe so

500
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: different ways to go about it. You know, you hate

501
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: parting ways with somebody who is one of the biggest

502
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: reasons why you are so good. But if it's for

503
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: the good of the entire roster and you believe there

504
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: are ways that you can get by and make it

505
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: without a key piece, a key figure like Tyreek Hill,

506
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: why not try it? And they proved they could do it.

507
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: They're in the Super Bowl. A lot of people had

508
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: questions going into this season of are the Chiefs gonna

509
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: be as good as they were without a weapon like

510
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. They've proved that they absolutely are. And they

511
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: did it by drafting and they also did it by

512
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: some low budget free agents, which is what Brandon Bean

513
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: said the team is going to have to do this offseason. Yea,

514
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, we sent the Chiefs got

515
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: some real contributions from some rookies, the Bills not so

516
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: much from their rookie class. Some James Cook, Khalil Shakier, Benford,

517
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: and Kayer Elam would be the most prominent rookies that

518
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: did it. But I would say, you know, other teams,

519
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: like particularly the Chiefs got more of a contribution from

520
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: their rookies than you know, with Pacheco and those guys,

521
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: than the Bills did. They didn't, you know, defensively, they

522
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: had some rookies on the field at the corner. So

523
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm it's interesting to think about how these teams fit together.

524
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing proof that no matter how you

525
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: build it, you just got I think you gotta have guys,

526
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: a number of guys whatever sentage where I couldn't tell you,

527
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: but a certain number of guys out playing their money

528
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: that they're getting you know what I mean, they're playing

529
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: better than the market value would have had them playing. Particularly,

530
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: you can get that easier when you've got rookies out

531
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: there who can really contribute athletically and with their skill set.

532
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: So I see where it comes from in the quarterback room,

533
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: where you say, if your quarterbacks on his rookie contract,

534
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: you can really open the window. But it also works

535
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: for other positions too. If you get enough of those

536
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: guys you know, number one wide out, who's a rookie,

537
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: like a Justin Jefferson last year with it with Minnesota,

538
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: all this stuff. If you can get really prominent players

539
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: out playing their salary, that's when you start to I

540
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: think your windows really open. Then yeah. This article Making

541
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: Moves also goes into a quote that somebody within the

542
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: Rams front office had where they talk about dealing away,

543
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: trading away their first round picks, and how because they

544
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: did that that allowed them to focus a lot more

545
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: on the middle of the draft. The quote explained, you know,

546
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: you do so much to prepare for the top half

547
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: of the NFL draft, your first and second, your third

548
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: round pick probably, but by trading away your first round pick,

549
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: that frees up a lot of time to focus on

550
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: maybe your second, third, fourth, and fifth rounders, to really

551
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: try and hit on the meat, the meat and potatoes

552
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: of the draft. I thought that was a really interesting

553
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: thing to say and an idea to have. Not having

554
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: to worry about a first round maybe you are going

555
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: to get more out of the middle tier guys if

556
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: you get that right. It's so tough. You know, you

557
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: could draft a first rounder, but is that first rounder

558
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: going to develop under your coaching staff. Are they going

559
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: to make the impact you need within the time that

560
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: you allow them to be on the roster and to

561
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: grow into what you want them to grow into. I

562
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: think it's fascinating. I wish there was something that this

563
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: goes into analytics. I wish there was a way to

564
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: measure and determine based on where you're drafted, what position

565
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: you play, and your stats in your first three seasons

566
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: to basically say if you were a bust or not,

567
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: and it didn't have to be It doesn't have to

568
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: be a bust or not, but maybe on a scale

569
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: of being a bust or not a bust at all.

570
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: I think that would be really interesting because you always

571
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: look at these players who were drafted in their first

572
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: three years as they kind of gear toward a second deal,

573
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: and you're wondering, now, some people are obvious busts and

574
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: some people are are definitely not bus But where does

575
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: it fall on this scale? And how could you rank

576
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: general managers and scouting departments based on where they fall

577
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: on the scale every single season are some way above,

578
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: others are alive to in the middle all. I don't

579
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: think so. I've heard a lot of when you look

580
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: at all these teams in their histories. We gotta go

581
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: to break here. But the philosophy these days in the

582
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 1: NFL is get as many draft picks as you can

583
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: because everybody bats about the same. If you can bat

584
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: like three hundred, get three out of ten starters or

585
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: great pay pro bowlers, you're knocking it out of the park.

586
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Most people can get three contributors, but not great players.

587
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: But if you can get that many, you're great. But

588
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: everybody's batting about the same because they're all talking about

589
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: the same pool of players, and nobody knows how good

590
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be. And you spread it out

591
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: over thirty two teams, everybody gets about the same amount

592
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: of players, so it's really hard to outperform unless you,

593
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, kind of hit it lucky one year. But

594
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: the philosophy then means, well, if you bat that three

595
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: hundred like everybody bats, but you've got twenty picks and

596
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: everybody else has got seven, you're gonna get like you know,

597
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna get six guys instead of three, So it's

598
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: a bigger dip. So get as many draft picks as

599
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: you can because you can find guys like Matt Milano

600
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: in the fifth round or Brock Purty is mister irrelevant.

601
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: You can find these guys that are like, Wow, this guy's,

602
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, pretty good Christian Benford Joys a seventh round

603
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: draft picks, So you can find guys like that out there,

604
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: but you've got to have a lot of picks to

605
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: make those percentages work. Yeah, it's interesting. I think you

606
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: could talk about this forever, At least I could with Well,

607
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about so many factors, so many factors. Yeah,

608
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it for the next three months

609
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: because the draft is not until the end of April.

610
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: April twenty seventh is that day. But we're not even

611
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl yet. Maybe we need to slow

612
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: our role. So we're gonna take a break, cool off here.

613
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to get into our

614
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. What super Bowl roster would you rather have?

615
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: What makeup would you rather have? And why? Give us

616
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: a call here eight three, five fifty or tweet at us.

617
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: We are One Bills Alive. We're presented by Kalida Help.

618
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Radio. We're back here on One Bills Live.

619
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: A Monday afternoon kind of gloomy, kind of not, kind

620
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: of earthquaking, kind of not. We're all good. We're all

621
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: good now of our day Tom Brady. Today he's posing

622
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: in boxers on his Twitter account. I don't know if

623
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: we needed that, but he also announced on Colin Cowhard

624
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: that he's going to begin his broadcasting career in twenty

625
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty four with Fox Sports. So what the heck is

626
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: he going to be doing for the next year hanging

627
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: out and join life playing football? No, I don't think

628
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: he's coming back, but I'm sure people will wonder he

629
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: might not, he might not come back, or should I

630
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: say he might come back? He might might, he might

631
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: mind not, he might. Um, it's not off the table,

632
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: because let's face it, there's some franchises out there that

633
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: would love exactly. They would love having him come in,

634
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. And you know they've got some franchises

635
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: who or you know, still looking for a head coach,

636
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback. He could come back and he

637
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: could play better. I'm still think he's in the top

638
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: half of the league. I would agree with that, and

639
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: in some and if some of his skill set, he's

640
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: the best there's ever been and still is. Like his

641
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: decision making processing all that as good as it can get.

642
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: He's you know, but he's forty five. Yeah, you know.

643
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: The ability that he offers to just come in and

644
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: go versus come in and a ramp up period. I

645
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: think there maybe he could end up coming in a

646
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: train less than ten guys who could do. He could

647
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: come in like the third week of training camp, parachute

648
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: in and be ready by opening day. And that is

649
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: so attractive for so many teams who are looking for

650
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback or who have the roster and they just

651
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: kind of need that guy to just help them move

652
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: down the field. You know, they just need a plug

653
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: in play type of person. They're not looking for a

654
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: franchise guy right now, right, They're just looking for somebody

655
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: to fill that hole for a couple of years. Yeah,

656
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: just just give us a year. Listen. We're like, we're

657
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna draft a quarterback and you're gonna teach

658
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: him for a year and then we're gonna hand it off.

659
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: For instance, we're the Houston Texans, we're gonna draft a

660
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: guy number one overall, or maybe we're whoever. The Chicago

661
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: Bears have the number one overall pick, so they trade

662
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: it to yea they trade it. We're gonna, we're gonna,

663
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: we are going to draft a guy and we don't

664
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: want him to play. We want you to teach him

665
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: how to play for a year, and we'll give you

666
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: a good number to do it. At that point in

667
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: your career versus your early days. How hard is it

668
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: to go through an NFL season once you know it

669
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: so well, once you know it like the back of

670
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: your hand, is it still really hard? Yeah? In fact,

671
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: that's why you quit, not because you can't. It's not

672
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: your mind that goes at your body that gives out,

673
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 1: So you spend instead of spend all your free time

674
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: in the training room. Yes, you spend your time. You know,

675
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: when you're a young rookie, the next day, Monday afternoon,

676
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: you're like going, yeah, it's not so it wasn't so bad,

677
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, And then you know, four or five years in,

678
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: it's like till Wednesday before you start feeling good. And

679
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: then six seven years in it's it's Thursday or Friday.

680
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: And then after you're in there for a decade, you

681
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: can't get ahead of any right, I mean, you just

682
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: you're always hurt. And also with a guy like Brady,

683
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: and it may not be true for him. I know

684
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: it's true for a lot of guys. He has played

685
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: so well and won so many games for so long

686
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: that it's the expectation is to win every game. Yeah,

687
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: and this year was a letdown very much. It was

688
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: weird to watch somebody like him. That's right, put together

689
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: the games that they did. The losses are soul crushing,

690
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: and because you've won so much, the wins aren't as exhilarating. Yeah,

691
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: but the losses are soul crushing. Yeah, because you don't

692
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: it's it's chipping away your ego, it chips away. It's

693
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: just it's soul crushing. Yeah. So you just can't. So

694
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: that wears on you to the point where I just

695
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: don't want to go through anymore. We can't win. We're

696
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: not winning every week like I'm used to, and I'm

697
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: not doing enough to help us, and I hurt, and

698
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: it's so now I get You want me to get

699
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: up at six am in February today and work out

700
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: to get ready for that. I don't know. I don't

701
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: want to do it. It's a big ask. And that's

702
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: what really guys out of the league, because anybody can

703
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: suck it up and play for three hours on a

704
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. But man, oh man, you gotta go through

705
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot to get to that point where you can

706
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: actually even just suit up. You gotta practice, you gotta train,

707
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: You gotta stay fit, you gotta stay healthy. You gotta

708
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: rehab from little injuries. You gotta rehab from the last

709
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: big injuries you had. And you gotta train and lift

710
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: around things that are bothering you now, Like you got

711
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: a bad shoulder, Well, now you can't do these big

712
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: exercises that cut cut your workout in half because it

713
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: works all these muscles. You gotta do this arm like

714
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: this and this arm like this, and you take you know,

715
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: it takes forever to train around your aches and pains,

716
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: so it really wears on you mentally year after year,

717
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: and it gets worse and worse and worse and never

718
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: and and you know in your heart's never gonna get better. Yeah,

719
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: So that's why you know when that's why father you

720
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: hang up the plates. Father time is undefeated, and he

721
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: just because he just wears you out. Well, speaking of quarterbacks,

722
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is one of those guys that there's a

723
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: lot of teams that would probably want him out there

724
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: and he's at the AT and T Pebble Beach ProAm

725
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: this weekend, and Amanda Balionis interviews him and she's like,

726
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: are there any colors that you're liking right now more

727
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: than others? And it's a great way to ask that question,

728
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: and he says, well, there's a lot of Raiders fans here,

729
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

730
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: He ended up winning the Pebble Beach Pro Am. Josh

731
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: Allen finishes fourth behind Aaron Rodgers. Report that the Raiders

732
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: are letting quarterback Derek Carr talk to other teams. That

733
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: will also be interesting. Davante Adams is doing things to

734
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: communicate that he would love to be back with Aaron Rodgers.

735
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: So this picture is not coming together yet, but the

736
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: picture of what could happen during free agency, man, it

737
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: could be an interesting free agency. And then Sean Payton

738
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: is getting introduced as the Broncos head coach. Today, some

739
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: of those coaching vacancies are now getting filled, whether it's

740
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator. Head coach. Cowboys named Brian Schottenheimer

741
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: as their offensive coordinator. So some of these things are

742
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: starting to come together, while some of them are just

743
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: big question marks with Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. I'm

744
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: still having a hard time seen Aaron Rodgers play for

745
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: a team other than Green Babe. But I say it

746
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: all the time, it's hard for great football players to

747
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: end their career with one team and one team only.

748
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning couldn't do it. Philip Rivers couldn't do it.

749
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Aaron Rodgers may do it. Brett

750
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: Farreff couldn't do it. The NFL like the NBA in

751
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: terms of guys wanting to go elsewhere, Joe Montana couldn't

752
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: do it. You know, Marino Kelly did it, Elway did it.

753
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: But there's a ton of you know now, a different age.

754
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: Now it's let me see what I can do without

755
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: this head coach and without without this team a little bit,

756
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: maybe not always, but kind of trying to prove yourself

757
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: with another team. It'll be interesting to see how Aaron

758
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: handles it, because he certainly could choose to stay in

759
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay, but I don't know that. I don't know.

760
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: It's it's really interesting. Green Bay has been through this

761
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: before with Brett Farve, and Aaron was there to watch

762
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: it with front row seat it'll be interesting to see

763
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: the fact that that had on him back then, that

764
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: he remember, does he want to be that guy? And

765
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: maybe he does, you know, maybe it's like, yeah, you

766
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna have this circle around me for

767
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: a next year or two and be in the middle

768
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me, But

769
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: it also wouldn't surprise me if he just sat down

770
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: and said, I'm gonna start as a packer and end

771
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: as a packer. Yeah. Last year he agreed to terms

772
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: or signed a three year, one fifty million dollar contract

773
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: extension that began this season with two further option years.

774
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. It'll be fun to follow that

775
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: and know that we don't have to worry about that

776
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: here and with the bills all right, coming up at

777
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: two o'clock, we got Jeffrey Chadia joining us to discuss

778
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: his article he wrote, Making Moves, which details how teams

779
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: come together nowadays, how it's different than it was in

780
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: the yester years of the NFL. So stick with us

781
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,479
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live. We're presigned by Kalidah Health

782
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills Radio. Clok back into One Bills Live.

783
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: We've got Jeffrey Chadia coming on at two o'clock from

784
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: NFL Network to discuss his article that he wrote about

785
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: how to build a roster in today's NFL, what the

786
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: Eagles have done, what the Chiefs have done. So that'll

787
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: be on in just a few minutes. But we want

788
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: to dip into our tweet sheet. Which Super Bowl roster

789
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs or Eagles? Which make up would you rather have?

790
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: And why? So we've got a couple of responses here.

791
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: Feel free to call us eight three, five fifty or

792
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: tweet at us. Tim says Eagles top lines on both

793
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: sides of the ball gives you a better team success.

794
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: The Eagles were able to be the best team in

795
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: the NFC despite Hurts being injured because their defense held

796
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 1: up and the O line could provide the protection needed.

797
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: What do you think about that, Steve? Yeah, And it

798
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: always starts up front, and I we've been harping on it.

799
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: We do it every couple of years whenever we're our

800
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: offensive line maybe doesn't perform like we want it to.

801
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: Everybody says, well, it always starts up there, and then

802
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: we always all we do. We spend the rest of

803
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: the month talking about wide receivers and running backs and corners, right, so,

804
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: because we tend to take those guys for granted. But yeah,

805
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: if you can dominate both sides of the line of scrimmage,

806
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: you're going to be a really good football team despite

807
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: whatever your quarterback is and not whatever it is, but

808
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,479
Speaker 1: your every quarterback is going to be made to look better.

809
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: Your receivers and skill position players are going to be better,

810
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: Your corners and safeties are going to be better if

811
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 1: you can dominate the line of scrimmage, and so, yeah,

812
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter. And that's why Philly plowed through

813
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: the NFC this season, particularly given the fact that the

814
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: NFC has had such poor quarterback play by comparison to

815
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: the AFC, A team built like Philly just plowed through it. Yeah,

816
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 1: if you look at the Eagles offensive line defensive line,

817
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: there are two six rounders on the offensive line, second rounder,

818
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: a third rounder, and a first rounder. And then if

819
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: you look at the Eagles defensive line, you've got two

820
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: first rounders and a third and a fourth rounder. And

821
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: some of those defensive linemen on the Eagles have been

822
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: there for a minute, like Brandon Graham got drafted by

823
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I think a twenty and ten. He's been

824
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: there for a while, and it's cool to have those

825
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: guys who have who are your core group of guys

826
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: who have been there for that long and who have

827
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: seen other Super Bowls. You know, they've threen their first rounders. Yeah,

828
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: they got three first rounders in their front seven, their

829
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: front five, Hassan Reddick, Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham and

830
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: all those guys can really play. Javon Hargrave and Josh Sweat, who's,

831
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a a newer edition and he's

832
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: he's the lowest one of the fourth rounds. So they've

833
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of high guys up in that top

834
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: front five. If you look at our defensive line, you

835
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: have three first rounders in our defensive line. This is

836
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: going off of the depth chart on each team's website,

837
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: So Greg ed Shack. Shack was listed as a starter

838
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: because von Miller was not a part of the starting lineup.

839
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: So interesting. I looked up where all the starters were

840
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: drafted for all three teams, including the Bills, Eagles, Chiefs, Bills.

841
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: So that's where we're going off of. But yeah, I

842
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: think the lines are so important obviously, that's what we

843
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: hear Brandon Bean and we hear Sean McDermott say time

844
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: and time again, when we're in the off season, we're

845
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: looking forward to what a new team is going to

846
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: look like. It's hey, we need to look at the trenches.

847
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: We need to look at our play at the line

848
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. We need to see what the offensive line

849
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: did well. We need to see what the defensive line

850
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,479
Speaker 1: did well, and we need to see what we can fix.

851
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: That's where it always starts with them. And you've seen

852
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 1: a lot of investment through the draft and free agency

853
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: with Von Miller put into the defensive line. I don't

854
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 1: think you've seen that type of quality in the offensive line.

855
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: Not saying that there's a huge drop off in the

856
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: way that the Bill's offensive line plays, but there hasn't

857
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: been the first round picks or the big free agency gets.

858
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: So maybe the pendulum shifts a little bit towards the

859
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: offensive line in the off season since the defensive line

860
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: has been built up with some first rounders. I'll say this,

861
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's exactly the philosophy most NFL teams.

862
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: You I mean, that's it makes good sense when you

863
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: say it the way we're talking about it. But the

864
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: simple fact of the matter is when you get into

865
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: the draft room on that day when you're picking guys,

866
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: you've got a guy over here that's going to be

867
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: a really good professional football player and you can tell

868
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: at all points to that, or a guy that plays

869
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: a position that you need that probably is not going

870
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: to be that good. You've got to get into a

871
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: spot where you can take the better player, no matter

872
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: where he plays. That's what free agency is all about,

873
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: and that's what they'll try to do between now and

874
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, maybe they go after the offensive line

875
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: a little bit more in free agency, or maybe they

876
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: go after the defensive line. Who knows twenty one unrestrictive

877
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: free agents, that's a lot of guys. I think there

878
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: is going to be some movement in free agency for

879
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: this team that starts on March fifteenth, So we are

880
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: less than we're just over a month away from free

881
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 1: agency beginning for the NFL in the league year really

882
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: beginning for the NFL. All right, bright time for us

883
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: when we come back. Jeffrey Chadia from NFL Network is

884
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: joining us to discuss his article making moves don't go anywhere.

885
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: We're one Bill's Live, presented by Khalid to Health. This

886
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on one Bills

887
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,839

888
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,000

00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: welcome NFL Networks Jeffrey Chadia onto the show. He joins

890
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: us via phone at the super Bowl right now in Arizona.

891
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's making his rounds on radios row. So, Jeffrey,

892
00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: thank you so much for taking the time to be

893
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 1: with us today. I'm sure you're super busy there in Arizona,

894
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: no problem. Thank you for having me. So we are

895
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: disgusting discussing roster makeups today on our show. Would you

896
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: rather have the Eagles roster makeup or the Chiefs roster makeup?

897
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: And we're on NFL dot com and I find your

898
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: article and we thought you would be great to have

899
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: on the show to kind of discuss how each rosters

900
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: were built and really how the NFL has changed over

901
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: the last several years in terms of how gms go

902
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: about making that roster. So what led you to want

903
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: to dive really deep into a story like this going

904
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 1: back to the seventies and eighties of how rosters were

905
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: built versus twenty twenty three with how the Eagles and

906
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs got to the Super Bowl with their rosters. Well,

907
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 1: I think it was you look at the Rams winning

908
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: last year with an all that approach. Look what the

909
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: Eagles have done this year where you're back up Squat

910
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: Bowl six. You after trading away your franchise quarterback, you

911
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: have second overall. Look at all the moves that are

912
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: being made in the off season Nile on the trade deadline.

913
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: It just felt as if gms were getting a lot

914
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: more aggressive than what I was used to see him

915
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and so it was nice to have

916
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: that collaborated by the people I spoke to, and you know,

917
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: they ask your question. Yeah, I think that it's scootball.

918
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: Is very intriguing because it is a difference in philosophy.

919
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: Eagles all in super aggressive sign a bunch of people

920
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 1: build around a young quarterback, and the Chiefs obviously having

921
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. And I think it's going to be

922
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: there for fifteen years plus and hopefully you can get

923
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: them back to this game a few more times. It

924
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: seems to be also the formula has been, and it

925
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: sounds perfectly plausible that if you've got a quarterback on

926
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: his rookie deal, the rest of the roster gets built

927
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 1: up and you can win. And that's when your window

928
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: opens up. And the problem comes when that game, when

929
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: you play so well and it becomes you gotta play

930
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you got to pay the quarterback and a

931
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: lot of other guys. How do you keep that window

932
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: open past that? Well, Mahomes is a perfect example. They

933
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: paid him the five hundred on a contract and they

934
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: built the team around him and had success when he

935
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: was in his rookie deal as well. So what's your

936
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: philosophy and what did GMS talk about it? Is there

937
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: a general plan like that or do you just take

938
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: your team what you got and swing big for the roster? Well,

939
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: I think the general consensus, iye guy, was that the

940
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: time is super important here that most of these guys

941
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: feel like if you're in that job nowadays, you've probably

942
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: got two or three years or really get things up

943
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: and running before your owners starts to get impatient. Whereas

944
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: you look back, you know, twenty thirty forty years ago,

945
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: where as you guys have had people there and John

946
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: Butler and you know Bill Polian who did great things.

947
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: They could be in place for like fifteen twenty years

948
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: and know they were going to hire three or four coaches.

949
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: So the first thing these gms know is that we

950
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: have to be buried mindful of who were drafting at quarterback.

951
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are always going to matter. The thing that gms

952
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: don't want to do today is try to reach and

953
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: sell a guy as the franchise quarterback when he's not.

954
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: So you can get Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow,

955
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,919
Speaker 1: you know, hats off to you. But if you're trying

956
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: to turn you know, somebody who's not bad into a

957
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, that's where you can get in trouble with

958
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: building a And you look at the way that the

959
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs were able to get there this season nine. I

960
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting because you have this quarterback, like

961
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: you called the franchise quarterback of course, and you're putting

962
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: all this money into him and you're really building the

963
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: team around him. But just Patrick Mahomes isn't going to

964
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: get you to the super Bowl. You have to have

965
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: other players around him who help you make it to

966
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: that goal, who help you see it all the way through,

967
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,760
Speaker 1: and you may have to part ways with some really

968
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: important players and people along the way, which they had

969
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: to do with Tyreek Hill. So how have you looked

970
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: at how the Chiefs have made their roster specifically this

971
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: year and it working out for them making it all

972
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: the way to the Super Bowl. Well, they did a

973
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: big swing in the other direction when they let Tyreek

974
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: Hill walk go, and it felt like having those draft

975
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: picks that came from that deal with Miami would be

976
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: super important what they wanted to and so that was

977
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: a big step for them, saying we're not going to

978
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: rely on a superstar that spot anymore. We're going to

979
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: try to get solid players who we know our quarterback

980
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: could make better. So that was the first important step

981
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: for them, was understanding that if you're going to have

982
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback who was that talented and that expensive, he

983
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: hadn't make players better for year. And so they did that.

984
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: They drafted well this year. They've gotten a lot of

985
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: production from their drafts. Isaac, if the Checko's been a

986
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: starting running back. Using this as a championship game, you

987
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: had four rookie defensive backs playing. At one point, they

988
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: had a rookie defensive end and George Carloftin's playing, so

989
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: they've succeeded there as well. But they still have to

990
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 1: make big moves here. They have to figure out they're

991
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: going to extend Chris Jones's gonna be thirty year and

992
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: you probably gonna want to twenty five million dollar year contract.

993
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: They have to figure out what they did the left

994
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:48,919
Speaker 1: tackle with or lan La Brown to you who wants

995
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: to be paid twenty million twenty five million dollars a

996
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: year at that position. So they've gotten the first part

997
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: right as far as drafting. The harder part is figuring

998
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: out who to keep and what to pay them. Certainly,

999
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: Mahomes has given them a huge margin of error on

1000
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. You don't take Tyreek

1001
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: Hill off the top of the pile and not feel it.

1002
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: And yet the Chiefs because of Mahomes really being able

1003
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: to spread the football around and Andy Reid as well,

1004
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: But they seem to have the formula for being able

1005
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: to do more with less. And I was saying earlier

1006
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: in the show, isn't that really the secret? If you

1007
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: can find guys that outperformed their contracts, you're ahead of

1008
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: the game. It is and look they they've gotten. Mark

1009
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: was vow the Scantling was a player who had been

1010
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: up and down this year, but he showed up in

1011
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: the championship game. Sky Moore was a player who had

1012
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: an issue, you know, mupping punts earlier this year. He

1013
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: had a big punt return as some championship game I

1014
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: mentioned those rookie defenders that they've been able to mix

1015
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: and match in a way, and this goes to general

1016
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: manager bread Beach as well. He deserves credit for what

1017
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: he's done, but to have identified people who they know

1018
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: can be a part of this culture, who can make

1019
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: plays when they have to. And even my own would

1020
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: tell you that he's taken a step forward in his

1021
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: own growth and realizing that maybe a year or two

1022
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: ago he would call a play and then say, all right,

1023
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: where's Travis at where's Tyreek kat I'm one of those guys,

1024
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: And by not having Tyreek and having to use everybody

1025
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: in the offense, it's made him more patient, were willing

1026
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: to play within the system and made the entire offense

1027
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: better because of it. And then for the Eagles, it's

1028
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: very different. The quarterback situation for them is different. They're

1029
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: able to bank on paying less for their quarterback right

1030
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: now and build via free agency, and also still have

1031
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: some pieces on that roster who have been there for

1032
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: quite some time, who were there in twenty seventeen. This

1033
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: was a team a couple of years ago who wasn't

1034
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: winning many games. They were winning four games, and now

1035
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: they're in the super Bowl. How is their roster turnover

1036
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,919
Speaker 1: over the last few years really different than you see

1037
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: what other NFL teams are doing. Well. I think they

1038
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: would tell you that their philosophy has been, look, we

1039
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: can get we have a good quarterback, a really good

1040
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: quarterback that we believe in Jane and Hurts. But they

1041
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: want to build within the trenches. And so you see

1042
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: that's where they put a lot of their money and

1043
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot of their draft capital was up front and

1044
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: the front seven, the front flour and all the offensive line.

1045
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: But then they're also very Howie Roseman, their GM was

1046
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: also very shrewd in the moves he made. Um. You

1047
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: know that once trade was you know, five years ago,

1048
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: trading a franchise quarterback he drafted second overall would have

1049
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: been heresy, but he made that move. He ended up

1050
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: getting some extra picks out of it. He turn those

1051
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: picks into opportunities to trade up to draft DeVante Smith,

1052
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: to make a deal to pick up a J. Brown,

1053
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: and those players have been huge for this team. So

1054
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: really a lot of ways, I think they're operating with

1055
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: the mindset that's very similar to the to the Rams,

1056
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: which is it's great to have draft picks, it's great

1057
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: to have, you know, a franchise quarterback and if you

1058
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: can get one, but really, until you actually make moves,

1059
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: the names don't really matter. How you got the players

1060
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter as much as getting their right three guys

1061
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: in your room. I think that's been their mindset. It

1062
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: may now be great for them next year, but next

1063
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: year is a long way off. We've been talking here

1064
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: about how this Gate week goes and how out of

1065
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: the ordinary it'll be for both these teams, and both

1066
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: these teams have been here recently, so, as Maddie said,

1067
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: both of them have veterans of what this week will

1068
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: be like, starting tonight with media Day, media Night. But

1069
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: when you break this game down, you really start with

1070
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts on his rookie contract, trying

1071
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: to do something very difficult to do as a dual

1072
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: threat quarterback and then Mahomes, who's really been the bell

1073
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: cow for the entire league for his entire career as

1074
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: a starter. I think both teams. I mean, you got

1075
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: to start with those two guys. If you're going to

1076
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: handicap this game, do you do? And really, you're right,

1077
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a contrast style there, and that the

1078
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: Eagles don't need Jan Hurts to play great to win

1079
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: this game. I think the Chiefs Duke. But the Chiefs

1080
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: have had multiple games this year where my home has

1081
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: had to really lift them on his shoulders and get

1082
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: them to the finish line. And that's a testament to

1083
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: his ability. But it's also the way that they are

1084
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: built to play football. They are asking a lot of him.

1085
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: I think in that last game he was like ninety

1086
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: one percent of their offense against the Banks, and so

1087
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: you don't have that same kind of disparity, which hurts,

1088
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: and so I root for both of the guys. I

1089
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,479
Speaker 1: live in Kansas City. I followed Patrick without his career.

1090
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: He's an amazing player. I don't put anything past him.

1091
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: You know, the way he played with that ankle sprain

1092
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: on the boot side of it. I think Jenn Hurts

1093
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: is emblematic of where the league is going to have

1094
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: to deal with the quarterback position because so many guys

1095
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: in college play the way he plays, and when you

1096
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: can threaten the defense with your arm and your legs,

1097
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: it's a huge weapon to have. Jeffrey, one final question

1098
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: for us before we let us let you go. This

1099
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: article that you wrote and the way that teams are

1100
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: operating and how they build their roster from year to year.

1101
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Do you think this says anything or is for shadowing

1102
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: anything about the way that the NFL is headed in

1103
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: the future in terms of making a roster. I think

1104
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna see more teams doing what Philadelphia is doing.

1105
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, what the Chiefs have been able to do

1106
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: with my homes is great, but they have the homes.

1107
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: They don't have the luxury of being able to do

1108
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: out having to go out there and do what the

1109
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: Rams did the Eagles have to do. But I think

1110
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: really the window of operating for any team is now changed.

1111
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: You know. I used to people would talk about the

1112
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 1: Ravens and Lamar Jackson and they would say, well, he's

1113
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: not going to be able to play at that level

1114
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: when he's, you know, ten years down the road. How

1115
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: did he gonna be able to focus all these hits.

1116
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: But Ravens aren't worried about ten years. They're about five

1117
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: years and you have past five years, so figure it out.

1118
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: And so I think more teams are operated with that

1119
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: mind sets, that you have a great athlete, a great

1120
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: guy who can run and use his legs to make

1121
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: plays for you. Let's use him as best as we

1122
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: can to see what happens in the dust settles. Jeffrey,

1123
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: thank you so much for taking the time out of

1124
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: your day to be with us here on one Bill's

1125
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Live Enjoy Arizona. Thank you, Thank you so much, appreciate it.

1126
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeffrey. All right, that was Jeffrey Chadia of

1127
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: NFL Network. He's a writer and appears on air for

1128
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: them as well. You can check that article out at

1129
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: nfl dot com called Making Moves. It's a pretty long one,

1130
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: but it is definitely a good read. Some good insight

1131
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: there as well as to what he thinks the NFL

1132
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: is going to be, how it's going to evolve over

1133
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: the next several years. And I think he's right. You're

1134
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: not always going to hit on a Patrick Mahomes or

1135
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the draft, and ways to compete with

1136
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: teams who do have a Patrick Mahomes and a Josh

1137
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Allen is by maybe dealing away, trading away some of

1138
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: those high picks that you have for players that you

1139
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: know can come in and win right away. Yeah, and

1140
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: it's because you're playing at such a high level with

1141
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: those guys. I mean, the Bills didn't reach their ultimate

1142
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: gold this year in their draft in twenty seventh in

1143
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: the first round. So you're gonna have to make do

1144
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: with less of a choice than you did when you

1145
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: drafted Josh Allen, when you drafted Tremaine Edmonds and all

1146
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: those guys. So if you've got to make those picks count,

1147
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and it's easier to do when you've seen the guy

1148
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: play in the NFL already. Yeah, So a lot of teams,

1149
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: it's less of a gamble. It's just less of a gamble.

1150
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Not only do you understand that the guy's playing against

1151
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: NFL teams, he's also playing in a system that you

1152
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: understand and get and you can compare and contrast some

1153
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: free agents with others because he's doing exactly what we

1154
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: would have him do in our system, and he's doing

1155
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: it really well, let's get that guy. This guy may

1156
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: be able to do it, but we're not really sure

1157
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: because they're using him in a different way than we would.

1158
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: So we don't have to take a chance on that guy.

1159
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: But we can go get this guy. There's plenty of

1160
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: opportunities like that out there and it's just less of

1161
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: a risk. And there's the floor is raised at the

1162
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: point where you go through free agency to a point

1163
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: where it's it's never going to be that high when

1164
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: you aft kids out of college because there's so many

1165
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: unknowns for them. Yeah, and we've heard Brandon Bean say

1166
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: when he's asked about this topic, and it was a

1167
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: really hot topic for the LA Rams following that season,

1168
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: following their Super Bowl season, when they said whatever with

1169
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: the picks, we'll get guys in free agency. We'll trade

1170
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: our first round picks, will trade whatever to go get

1171
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: guys in free agency. They did it and they won

1172
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. This season didn't work out so well

1173
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: for them. They did have injuries as well. But when

1174
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has been asked about that topic, it's been

1175
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: we want to be good not just one year, we

1176
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: want to be good for multiple years. But I think

1177
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: within that conversation. Not that I think Brandon Bean is

1178
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: spot on with that. You do want to be good

1179
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: for multiple years. You don't want to be a one

1180
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: and done type of team. But I wonder if he

1181
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: has an amount of years in his mind. And I

1182
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: say this to what Jeffrey said to us about you know,

1183
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: the lifespan of an NFL player is not going to

1184
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: be fifteen years anymore, or is even gonna you know,

1185
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: it's I'll say that, I don't know. That's a good question.

1186
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: It is we want to be good for more than

1187
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: a year? Is that five to seven years in his mind?

1188
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: Can you really think ten plus years now in the

1189
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: NFL to be good over that time span? I do

1190
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: based on the way that Josh Allen plays as a quarterback,

1191
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: and based on the way that guys are now retiring

1192
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: earlier and more often. Some of them are retiring earlier

1193
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: and more often some of them are sticking around longer

1194
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: than ever, like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and Ben

1195
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers quarterbacks who stand who are guys

1196
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: that can throw it like Josh has big arm if

1197
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: if he so desires, he can stop running and play

1198
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: a long time and and expand his skill set into

1199
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: being more of a pocket passer of Philip Rivers or

1200
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger or any of the other guys we've mentioned,

1201
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and those guys. He still has the ability

1202
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: to move and be slippery in the pocket, and he

1203
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have to incorporate that into his game. We saw

1204
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: in the last few games of this season against New England,

1205
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: against Miami and against Cincinnati, he didn't run very much

1206
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: at all and they won two of those games. And

1207
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: there were certain times in the season this year as

1208
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: well where he didn't run very much and they were

1209
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: winning games. So here's the bottom line, though, was really this,

1210
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: whether he plays like that at or not, the league

1211
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: protects them like they never have before. So guys like

1212
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly and Dan Marino and Boomer Assize and back

1213
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: in the nineties in the early two thousands, those guys

1214
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: were not protected the way these guys are, and they

1215
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: take full advantage of it. You slide, you're not going

1216
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to take a hit. You get out of boundary, you're

1217
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: not gonna get that extra hit where you get pushed

1218
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: and go right into the bench area and take the

1219
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: table out. You know, it's easier to be safer to

1220
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: play the position now. And indeed, most of the quarterback

1221
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: injuries we see, including Josh, happen in the pocket. Ye

1222
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: because they can slide anywhere they want and they're ever

1223
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna take a hit. So that's where most of the

1224
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: problems happen with these guys. So yeah, I think you

1225
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: can these guys. Can You can't count on ten years

1226
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: with these guys, I would, you know, I would disagree

1227
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: with that. No, I think you can count on them. Certainly.

1228
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: They do take a risk when they run it, and

1229
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: we've seen Josh take some massive hits, but we can

1230
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: all we've also seen him avoid them if he wants

1231
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: if he's if he wants to, and the game itself

1232
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: will take that away from him and say, listen, I'm

1233
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: had it. I don't want to do that anymore, and

1234
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: he won't have to. Yeah. I also think about it

1235
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: in terms of like contracts as well. You know, you

1236
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: we're looking at some of the guys who were drafted

1237
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: under Brandon being in his first NFL draft coming up

1238
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: on time to get a second, second, second contract. Are

1239
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: you going to be a part of the team anymore?

1240
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Are you not? So it's kind of like not necessarily

1241
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: changing of the guard, but you're starting to see or

1242
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you may start to see some fresh bodies in here

1243
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: who don't look like that core group. Sure, you're going

1244
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: to keep you know, a few guys around that are

1245
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,839
Speaker 1: your locker room guys as long as you can, because

1246
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: you can afford them and because they're really important to

1247
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 1: the team. But you wonder also the ten to five

1248
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: to ten year conversation of can you be good, can

1249
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 1: you be steady for that long? Can you be contending

1250
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: for Super Bowls that long? Just because of contracts and

1251
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: how those work nowadays and how sure you may sign

1252
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: a guide to a long term contract, but when he

1253
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: gets to year five, year seven, where are the outs

1254
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: in there? Now? You're seeing people want to want to

1255
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: move and want to try somewhere else if it hasn't

1256
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: worked out for the beginning of their career. So it's

1257
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really interesting to see how this or

1258
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: traverses over the course of Josh's career, over the course

1259
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow mahomes, as they get deeper into these

1260
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: big contracts that they've signed. Joe Joe Burrow's going to

1261
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: sign a massive deal this offseason. I mean, they're gonna

1262
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: sign him to an extra Jackson Jackson is a great one.

1263
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert to a Tongablo is going to come up

1264
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:26,759
Speaker 1: for a contract pretty soon. We've seen Kyler, Murray, Deshaun Watson,

1265
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,600
Speaker 1: all these guys signed massive deals and not all of

1266
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: them have been well received. Yeah, so it comes down

1267
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: to and we've we've heard it even on our tweet

1268
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: sheet today where people, well listen, if you know, forget

1269
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 1: the roster build up. If I've got Mahomes, I'm good. Yeah,

1270
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 1: but there's only one of him, There's only one of Job.

1271
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: There's like a handful of these guys that are difference makers.

1272
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: You got to build a roster around those guys too.

1273
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: You got to have somebody there, all of us. We're

1274
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: counting the Chiefs out. If they didn't have their offensive

1275
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: linemen back in there, and they got them, you know,

1276
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: uh it was Cincinnati who didn't have their offensive line

1277
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: that lost the game. So you've got them put good

1278
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: guys around the around these great quarterbacks. I know it

1279
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: seems easy, but to get to the super Bowl and

1280
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: win it, you you got to be hitting. Like it's

1281
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: like Philadelphia seems to be doing right now. They're they're

1282
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: great offensive defensive line, Their secondaries are playing lights out.

1283
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Their offenses are built around these guys that can really

1284
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: make plays. I mean, they're hitting on all cylinders. You

1285
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: got to do that, and they they put all they

1286
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: put their eggs into that basket this last year with

1287
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: all these free agents. They got a ton of free

1288
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: agents coming up, and they're they're gonna be vastly changed

1289
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: next year. A little bit allah the la Rams this year.

1290
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: So they you know that you've got to be playing

1291
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: at that level to get there, and that the way

1292
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: they've built these rosters speaks to their the way they

1293
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: did it, you know, it's a kind of tight window

1294
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: around these quarterbacks that you know have been so great. Yeah,

1295
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: the Eagles were four and eleven in twenty twenty. Now

1296
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: they're heading to the super Bowl in twenty twenty two,

1297
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. The year twenty twenty two season,

1298
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: so turnover quick, and they made it happen really quick.

1299
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: One thing that I also think about a lot with

1300
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: the importance of a quarterback and the importance of developing

1301
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, a rookie quarterback in his first three

1302
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: years and thinking about, you know, your your top three

1303
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: items that you have to have in thinking about where

1304
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: would I rank things? Would you rather have in your

1305
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: first three years the same offensive coordinator or would you

1306
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: rather have really good weapons to throw too? What is

1307
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: more important in a quarterback in his first three seasons

1308
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: in trying to get him on the trajectory that you

1309
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: got 's that's kind of where I go. But if

1310
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you have if you have a Stephan Diggs and you

1311
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: have somebody else also a great wide receiver two on

1312
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: the other side, maybe it's a Gabe Davis, what's more important?

1313
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: I think you could also you could see both sides,

1314
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: and I sure sure people would would go both ways

1315
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: with that argument. Look at the Jets and look at

1316
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: the Bears, two young quarterbacks, nobody around well, actually the

1317
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 1: Jets have pretty good players around him. The Bears do not.

1318
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: And somebody like I always think about with this conversation,

1319
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not good anymore because of the way

1320
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: this player's career has unfolded. But Baker Mayfield in his

1321
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: first three years in the NFL, none none of this saint,

1322
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: no continuity, no coaching turnover, offensive coordinator turnover. And I

1323
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: looked to Josh and his career that he's been able

1324
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: to have, and there was continuity there. It's got to

1325
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: be so imimportant. And one of the reasons it was because, well,

1326
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: it's a little chicken of the egg. Josh was being productive.

1327
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: It was getting better all the time. Yeah, remember back

1328
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: and Josh's rookie year. We all saw it, you know,

1329
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Bills fans were all about it. There were all the

1330
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: doubters out there, with all the haters that Bills fans

1331
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: love to hate back, but they just said that Josh

1332
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: and Allen will never be any good. He's never gonna

1333
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 1: be any good at a quarterback in the YadA YadA, YadA.

1334
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: And then Bills fans watched him week by week get

1335
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: better and you could see tangible differences from week to

1336
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 1: week about how he was playing better and better, just

1337
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: vast improvement. And he did have a long way to go,

1338
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 1: but he covered some ground in his first year that

1339
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: was really something. And that has to do with Brian

1340
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: day Bole, Sean McDermott, you know, you know, Ken Dorsey,

1341
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: all of those guys and the stability that was around

1342
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 1: him and the same message that he got and his

1343
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: progress allowed him to keep those coaches because they were

1344
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: having just enough success to hang in there with this

1345
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 1: coaching staff and saying, hey, we're making some progress, we're

1346
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: doing good, we're winning him and in his second year,

1347
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: after a six and ten start, then they go to

1348
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs and now we're You're off and running. They've

1349
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 1: had enough success, they're going to keep it on and

1350
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: he and then the next year they were they were

1351
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: the toast of the NFL. It was great. It got

1352
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: to the a FC championship game, so that you know,

1353
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of the chicken of the egg.

1354
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: Great player, certainly, but the coaching and stability gave him

1355
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: a chance to improve to a point where they start

1356
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: winning games and then he could kind of own a

1357
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: little bit more of it himself. Yeah, it's coaching really

1358
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: makes a difference. Take it from an old Coaching makes

1359
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,759
Speaker 1: a difference, It really does. So as good as Josh

1360
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 1: is and as bad as we perceive a guy like

1361
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield to have been with Cleveland, could it have

1362
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: been different if he had that continuity in my first

1363
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: three year A big way killer in college football? So good,

1364
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: and you you always wonder, I always wonder about things

1365
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: like that. Jalen Hurts is a good conversation too. He

1366
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: gets drafted in twenty twenty, comes into the NFL in

1367
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty a second round pick, and Nick Sirianni head

1368
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: coach for the Eagles in twenty twenty one. So you see,

1369
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: you wonder where that relationship is going to go. He's

1370
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:11,839
Speaker 1: in the early days of his career as a quarterback,

1371
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni as a head coach. So it's always a

1372
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: full picture of Sure drafting matters, sure free agency matters,

1373
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: but you also have to have the right guys above

1374
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: you to be able to coach you and develop you,

1375
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,720

1376
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: coming into the NFL, who haven't who haven't played in

1377
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: a professional league before and need that coaching, need a

1378
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 1: little bit of hand holding in that first year. We're

1379
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: gonna take a break. When we come back, we're going

01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 1: happy with the guy who has been mocked to the

1382
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills four times. Out of the fourteen mock drafts

1383
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: that we've tracked. There's gonna be one hundred soon enough.

1384

Speaker 1: We're at fourteen right now, so hear more about this

1385

01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: We're presented by Clyde Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio

1387
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: for in the final hour of our show here today,

1388
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about mock drafts because it's never

1389
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: too early to talk about mock draft. It's gonna have

1390
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: theme song for mock draft. This is gonna be this season, right,

1391
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: mock draft season. I'll be tracking them until we are

1392
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: on the clock. Basically, I've only tracked fourteen so far,

1393
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: but I remember the last one we usually do, and

1394
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: I usually talk about here on One Bills Live before

1395
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: the draft. I'm in the one hundreds by then, so

1396
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: I have a nice Excel spreadsheet. Get to nerd out.

1397
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite topics all year. I

1398
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: love talking about the draft. I love looking at guys.

1399
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: I love dreaming about where the Buffalo Bills could go

1400
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: with that number twenty seventh pick. So if you guys

1401
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: head to our website Buffalo Bills dot com. On Friday morning,

1402
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,679
Speaker 1: we were last we release east our first mock draft watch.

1403
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: So tracked fourteen so far, and of those fourteen, you

1404
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: might ask Maddie, where are the Buffalo Bill is gonna

1405
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,560
Speaker 1: go who's been the Buffalo Bills the most. That's right. No,

1406
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: it's not a wide receiver. No, no, it's not an

1407
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:24,600
Speaker 1: offensive line, dumb, it is a running back. Do you

1408
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: think the Bills should go running back at number twenty seven? Well,

1409
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 1: four times, four out of the fourteen say the Bills

1410
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: are going to draft a running back. Three out of

1411
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: the fourteen say defensive back or corner, two wide receiver,

1412
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 1: two interior offensive linemen, and then you gotta tackle. You

1413
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: got a linebacker and you got a defensive end. So

1414
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: what do you think about those statistics? Tasker, They're not

1415
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna take it. They're not gonna take bi Sean Robinson

1416
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: in the first round. That's the guy. That's the guy

1417
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: they're talking about, the big Texas running back. Yeah, it's he.

1418
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: He's as good as it gets in this draft, no

1419
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: question about it. Four took all four we're running back.

1420
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: We're Bijon Robinson too. The four that were draft the

1421
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: four mock drafts that we have that took running backs,

1422
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,799
Speaker 1: they were all the same guy. Yep. So he's really good.

1423
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: I've read that he could be going earlier than twenty

1424
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: seven because he's so good and once he gets to

1425
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 1: showcase that in pro days and in the combined, teams

1426
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: may have him go up on their draft board. Don't

1427
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: necessarily think the Bills will need a running back, but

1428
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:42,719
Speaker 1: you know, if you go by the game of best

1429
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: available and we're gonna choose best available, if he's best available,

1430
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: maybe they go there. Maybe he had an eighteen, So

1431
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: you know, don't think about a running back and what

1432
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: running back would work on this roster. And I look

1433
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: to a guy like James Cook, somebody who can be

1434
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 1: a run back and somebody who can also pose as

1435
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and being involved in the passing game

1436
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: end of things, screen passes, line up as a wide receiver,

1437
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: whatever you name it. Somebody who is going to be

1438
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 1: versatile to this offense. We have somebody on that roster already.

1439
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: His name is James Cook, so be Jean Robinson's stats

1440
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: eighteen rushing touchdowns last season, eleven rushing touchdowns before both

1441
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: those seasons. Goes over a thousand rushing yards, a couple

1442
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards as well, three hundred and fourteen to

1443
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: be exact last season receiving yards to receiving touchdowns. If

1444
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: you go to the draft network, and you read up

1445
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: on this guy. The top reasons to buy in his athleticism, explosiveness, elusiveness, speed,

1446
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: prototype build ability to positively to positively affect the passing game,

1447
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: receiving and blocking, so he can't do both those things.

1448
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: Top reasons for concern running with power, injury concern. So

1449
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: this guy is a junior two twenty six feet, big guy,

1450
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: big running back. You said it there, Yeah, that's what

1451
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,600
Speaker 1: they It's the kind of guy. He's built like the

1452
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: guy they wanted Zach Moss to be and never worked

1453
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: out and wasn't and Zach Moss had crazy stats at Utah.

1454
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: That's right, So we'll see about that. I don't think

1455
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna be more likely. Um,

1456
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: somebody like the interior offensive lineman Cody Mock from North

1457
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: Dakota State. That's your early favorite. I think it's my

1458
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: early favorite. Yes, Or it could be the safety from

1459
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: Alabamadon Brian Branch. Yeah, he plays safety at Alabama. He's

1460
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:50,720
Speaker 1: uh could play safety and slot corner. Um. And you know,

1461
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: with what's going on with Jordan Poora, they may need

1462
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: to fill that with a guy who's got ball skills

1463
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: and some size um we'll see. So Branch was mocked

1464
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: to the Bills twice, thus the second favorite next to

1465
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson. And if you look at his statistics, he's

1466
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 1: also a junior, had two interceptions this past season, has

1467
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: only had four interceptions in his career, has had twenty

1468
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:23,759
Speaker 1: seven passes defense over his three year career, four sacks

1469
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: and nineteen and a half TFLs. And if you look

1470
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 1: at his draft profile on the Draft Network, reasons to

1471
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: buy in versatile defender, high level run defender, high football

1472
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 1: IQ top reasons for concern, ball production and manned coverage.

1473
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:45,600
Speaker 1: He's six feet one nine three comes out of Alabama,

1474
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: so he can you know he can it. He doesn't

1475
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: exactly fit the scheme because he's more of a he's

1476
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 1: not really a box or yeah, slot guy. He can

1477
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: play boxing guy, but he's not really a free safety

1478
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: kind of guy, guy who drops back into deep coverage.

1479
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: And that hence his ball skills weren't put to any use.

1480
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,719
Speaker 1: If he does indeed have him, that's why you didn't

1481
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: get a chance to see that, because he was he

1482
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 1: was playing the slot corner supporting the run, or he's

1483
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: playing in the box as a safety supporting the run.

1484
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: So it's uh, yeah, it's an unknown a little bit

1485
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: for him, but he is regarded as a really really

1486
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: smart football player and makes a lot of plays on

1487
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 1: the physical side of the game. But that's what I'm thinking.

1488
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a guy like Cody Mock the interior

1489
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,639
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, or a guy like Dion Branch the defensive back.

1490
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: There's also in one of the mock drafts I looked

1491
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: at out of they also got the Bills taking Dion Banks,

1492
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: who's a cornerback out of Maryland, in the second round.

1493
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: After they take Cody Mock at number one, at number

1494
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: twenty seven overall. At fifty nine overall, the Bills take

1495
01:22:55,680 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: Deontay Banks, a corner out of Maryland, So I I

1496
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know what that either. Yeah, it's interesting. It is

1497
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 1: other names that you'll see. There are two wide receivers

1498
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: in this crop of mock draft watches, the mock drafts

1499
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,480
Speaker 1: that we tracked in our mock draft watch, Jordan Addison

1500
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: out of USC, Parker Washington out of Penn State. Another cornerback,

1501
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: Cam Smith out of South Carolina. You're seeing if you're

1502
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: watching on MSG, you're looking at our wide receiver prospects lists.

1503
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: Forty six Jalen Hyatt out of Tennessee. You guys know

1504
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:42,919
Speaker 1: my Tennessee connection, this kid who he's a great wide receiver.

1505
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: Toward the end of the season when Tennessee started to

1506
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,480
Speaker 1: win a lot of games when they had their quarterback

1507
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: with them. Their quarterback got injured at the end of

1508
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: the season and their playoff hopes kind of went down

1509
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: the drain because they didn't look like they were the

1510
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 1: same team. But Jalen Hyatt went off. I think he

1511
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: had a game with four touchdowns, but he posted some

1512
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: really good stats. He seems like a great wide receiver

1513
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: somebody who whoever gets them, he could be an impact

1514
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 1: player from day one. But you see Jordan Addison, who

1515
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: is mocked to the Buffalo Bills, is above Jalen Hyatt

1516
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:21,600
Speaker 1: and the other one Parker Washington See. I don't know

1517
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: if he is upon that list, but he's from Penn's state.

1518
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 1: So those are some early guesses at who the Buffalo

1519
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Bills may take with that twenty seventh pick. Overall, a

1520
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,480
Speaker 1: couple of linebackers in there as well, which I thought interesting.

1521
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 1: You know that could be somewhere that the Bills may

1522
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 1: want to go if Tremaine Edmonds is no longer a

1523
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: part of the Bills, he's a free agent, so we'll

1524
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: see what happens with that situation. An offensive tackle also

1525
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 1: mocked to the Bills out of Georgia, Broderick Jones. If

1526
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: you know anything about SEC teams, they have big players

1527
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: all around upfront, defensive line and offensive line. Also a

1528
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: defensive end. Mel Kiper's mock draft, he mocked Derek Hall

1529
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills out of Auburn. He's also an

1530
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:17,839
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, so maybe he was thinking about Tremaine Edmonds

1531
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 1: not being on the roster anymore. They have that also

1532
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 1: from South Carolina. Another cornerback, Cam Smith, who a lot

1533
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: of people are saying he's a Day one contributor. He'll

1534
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: be on the field. He's a really good town, high talent,

1535
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,840
Speaker 1: well sought after talent, So you can be a Day

1536
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: one contributor has been called. So a lot of the

1537
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: thing about it, you get even into twenty seven, even

1538
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: though you know we're sitting here not picking in the

1539
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: top five or top ten, and like we all know

1540
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: the reasons for it. To take a long nap and

1541
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: then you wake up and it's still not our turn

1542
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: to the draft. The good thing about it is in

1543
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: this first round you will get a player who is

1544
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: really going to look the part. He's gonna be big, fast,

1545
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: strong and skilled, and he's going to have probably be

1546
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: a really productive player. So it'll be fun to see

1547
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:12,639
Speaker 1: who it's going to be at whatever position. And even

1548
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 1: from right now, or particularly from right now, the roster

1549
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: is going to be very different when free agency closes.

1550
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 1: So free agency will open, I believe March seventeenth and

1551
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: the thirteenth they can start talking to people, and the

1552
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: fifteenth that opens for real, and so it'll be interesting

1553
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,759
Speaker 1: to see how the roster changes during that time because

1554
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: we may really need a corner, or we may really

1555
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,760
Speaker 1: need you know, we may really need some other guys,

1556
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: very obvious. So yeah, it's gonna be the roster will

1557
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: be much it will have much fewer holes than it

1558
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: does right now. In our minds, most definitely this is

1559
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: this is the time when people are just trying. It's

1560
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: truly a guess right now, because you don't know what's

1561
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,760
Speaker 1: going to happen in free agency. When we come back

1562
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: from break, I will tell you what the date was

1563
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: of when the first person got Kayer Elam right, how

1564
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: early that happened, and if his name became a popular

1565
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 1: name after free agency. So stick with us here on

1566
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: one Bills Live or presented by Clyda Health. This is

1567
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio, all right, closing things out here on

1568
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon. I said I'd let you know when the

1569
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: first time Kayer Elam was mocked to the Buffalo Bills.

1570
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: When the first time that happened, guys, that was January

1571
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: twenty seventh. Okay, we've only tracked fourteen mock drafts. Somebody

1572
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: already got it. Somebody already got it right last year

1573
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 1: within the first within the first eight that I tracked,

1574
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: they already had Kayer Elam. Wow. So what does that say?

1575
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Somebody who gotta we gotta find out who got it

1576
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 1: right and go back. The guy who got it right

1577
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: first was Luke Easterling of USA Today's Sports the Draft Wire.

1578
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: We've already tracked his so far he got it right

1579
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:31,759
Speaker 1: last year. Let me pull up this year's strike can quickly.

1580
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Luke Easterling. So, Luke Easterling on January twenty sixth, he

1581
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: mocked us be Jean Robinson. Oh no, he's one of

1582
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 1: those guys. Kier Elam ended up being one of the

1583
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: most mocked Buffalo Bills to the Buffalo Bills, one of

1584
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 1: the let me just quarterbacks to the Buffalo Bills, mocked

1585
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 1: to the Bills ten times, and toward the end, when

1586
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 1: we got to the end of April, he was one

1587
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: of many corners that started to be mocked to the

1588
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. It wasn't just always kyr Elam. Trent McDuffie

1589
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: was the favorite. He's a Kansas City chief. They traded

1590
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: up to get him, so it's hard to anticipate that

1591
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: interesting as an interesting things. Maddie glab tracking the mock

1592
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: draft so you don't have to yep, which means me too.

1593
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: So I'm glad put him on by vocals and get

1594
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,919
Speaker 1: to work as long as Yeah, no more Bijean Robinson

1595
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 1: for me, though, we're done. We're done Bijean Robinson. No.

1596
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's a great, great player and whatever team

1597
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 1: he goes to, it could be really good because they

1598
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: got a player like him. All Right, that's gonna do

1599
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: it for us today. Tomorrow, Chris Brown will be back

1600
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: in this chair and Cynthia Freeland is going to be

1601
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,080
Speaker 1: on the show. I'm so jealous that you guys are

1602
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: going to talk to her. Well, it'll be great. Super

1603
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Bowl Week continues. All right, we'll see you guys tomorrow
