28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: you have all these analysts who are respected by a

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: lot amongst the NFL release what they're hearing from all

30
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: thirty two teams, from anonymous NFL execs and coaches and scouts,

31
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: and there's a lot to chew on in some of

32
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: these articles. Steve, it's been fun to watch the Twitter

33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: timeline today, the ex timeline, as every other tweet seems

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: to be some rumors out there or this NFL analyst

35
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: is saying this, the final mock drafts are being released, like,

36
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: give it all to me, I will read through everything.

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, it's and some of it too.

38
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: We've seen this happen in the past, where guys start

39
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: to like like Shadoor Sanders is the topic of the day,

40
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: somebody you know said something really bad about his personal interview,

41
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Some anonymous assistant coach on some anonymous team who said

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: something horrific about Shadoor Sanders that we're all supposed to say, Wow,

43
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't like him anymore, right, not so much because

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: you hear that stuff and some of it's just plain

45
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: not true. There I said it. We had this campfire

46
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: meeting there, we had all these all the office workers

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: we're in there. I mean, listen, you bet the guy

48
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: who said that they're gonna pick it, they're gonna pick him.

49
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: It's the same thing where teams put out videos or

50
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: you can bet, like tonight or tomorrow, something's gonna come

51
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: out about one of the top players about like something bad,

52
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: like they committed a crime or an assault, or their

53
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: girlfriend's matt you know whatever, something worse than that. Laramie

54
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: Tunsell comes in. You remember they somebody put out a

55
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: video of Laramie Tunsell in a gas mask doing smoking

56
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: weed with a gas mask. And now it's like and

57
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: he felt and you know, now the guys, you know,

58
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame type caliber bat left tackle. The

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: guy's I don't believing he's and he's his reputation is stellar.

60
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: He's a dude. Something they'll do it. They'll do it.

61
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Teams will do anything for the guy they want.

62
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: In the first round, John Butler, former Buffalo Bill's general manager.

63
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: They would he would come out and they'd have the

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: big luncheon where the media would come in and talk

65
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: to John about the draft coming up. Is a live thing,

66
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't recorded or streamed, you know, back in the day.

67
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: And they would all talk to him about, Hey, what

68
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: about this guy? What about this guy? And John would

69
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: talk about all these guys, all these guys, all these guys.

70
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: He would never talk about the guy they actually took. Ever,

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: they never spoke his name, just in passing, never spoke.

72
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: That's the way it works. They don't want anybody to know.

73
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: So when they get some assistant coach coming out saying

74
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: it's the worst personal interview he's ever seen with shad

75
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Or Sanders, I don't know. I don't know.

76
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: Smoke and Mirror's time, baby. Well, we've got a jam

77
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: packed show today because coming up at about one twenty

00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: running back, Ray Davis is going to join us here

79
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: in the studio. We had a bunch of members from

80
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: our video team go out and follow him in California.

81
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: That's going to be part of an embedded episode that's

82
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: released tonight. It's gonna be an awesome episode. That covers

83
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: a lot of our players in the offseason, what they

84
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: were up to, who they were seeing, what they were doing,

85
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: and a lot in the lead up to this NFL Draft.

86
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: So that's coming up at one twenty. At two o'clock,

87
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: we will dive into mock Draft Watch. I'm gonna tell

88
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: you who the favorite position groups were, the favorite players

89
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: were being mocked to Buffalo at number thirty, and then

90
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: tell you a couple my favorite names in the first, second,

91
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: and third rounds. And then we've got a topic for

92
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: you today as well, what would be the ideal scenario

93
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: for the Bills in the twenty twenty five draft. We

94
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: want to know your thoughts, so you can tweet at

95
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: us or give us a call at eight h three,

96
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: five point fifty. But let's get into the around the NFL.

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: It's presented by Clyde Health, the official healthcare system of

98
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. Because there there's just a lot happening

99
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: right now, as we said, and it starts off with

100
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: let me try and pull this up. It starts off

101
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: with the fact that you already spoke about it, Shudor Sanders.

102
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: Several several people have things to say about this core

103
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: and some of it is nice and some of it

104
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: is not so nice. And the not so nice part

105
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: is the part that's been all over social media this morning.

106
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: And this comes from an article by NFL network insider

107
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: Tom Pellisero. He released the article yesterday or this morning.

108
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was, but he ranked the

109
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: top eighteen quarterback prospects. And it wasn't by watching tape.

110
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: It wasn't by going to every single pro day to

111
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: watch these guys. It was what NFL execs, scouts and

112
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: coaches had to say about the quarterbacks in this year's

113
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: draft class. So I want to go through and run

114
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: down where these guys. Where these guys land? And his

115
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: top five look like this. Cam Ward from Miami is

116
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: number one, Shardor Sanders from Colorado's number two, Jackson Dart

117
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: from Mississippi is number three, Jaln Milroe from Alabama number four,

118
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: Tyler Schuck from Louisville is number five. What everyone is

119
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: discussing out of this article are some of these quotes. Now,

120
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: there are positives and negatives to each quarterback, and it's

121
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: how you see that quarterback. Teams may love a guy,

122
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: teams may not like a guy. It depends on how

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: you see that quarterback fitting in into your building, whether

124
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: that's in the first round, the third round, or beyond.

125
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: So we're going to get into this a little bit

126
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: more later, but Ray Davis is here right now, so

127
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: we want to bring him in right now and discuss

128
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: his off season, what he's been up to, and the

129
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: fact that we have an awesome series called it Embedded

130
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360

Speaker 2: the off season when a lot of people escape and

156
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: take some time off. Their time off is going on

157
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: the road with a lot of these players to discover

158
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: who they are in their hometowns, which I think is

159
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: when you get the best sense and feel for who

160
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: our players are as human beings, how they were raised.

161
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: They're great families that bring them up, they're friends that

162
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: have watched them since they were in pee wee football,

163
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: and you get these awesome stories from these guys. So

164
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: we're excited to have Ray on with us. He's actually

165
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: going to do something first and then he's going to

166
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: come on with us. So sorry for bouncing around today.

167
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of moving parts in this show.

168
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,479
Speaker 2: So we'll get back to what we were talking about originally,

169
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: which was the news of the day, And.

170
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this stuff about shad Or Sanders.

171
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: And so I wanted to read the quote that you

172
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: had alluded to earlier. But it's from one long time

173
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: NFL assistant coach. This is on his time with Sanders,

174
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: and the quote goes the worst formal interview I've ever

175
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: been in in my life. He's so entitled, he takes

176
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: unnecessary sacks, he never plays on time, he has horrible

177
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: body language, he blames his teammates. But the biggest thing

178
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: is he's not that good. This grinds my gears because Steve,

179
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: we were in this place about a year ago, a

180
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: little over a year ago, when almost a year ago,

181
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: I should say, I'm forgetting my timeline. When Josh Allen,

182
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: some anonymous NFL source said that he was overrated.

183
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Well they put it out there. It was a thing

184
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: they did too. They put out to one hundred players

185
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL and they said, you know who's the

186
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: most overrated guy. Well, the most highly rated guy in

187
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: the league was Josh, who didn't win the MVP, and

188
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: the only guy that any of them knew was Josh.

189
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: So they all said, well, not all of them. Thirteen

190
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: of them said Josh, so they all had you know,

191
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: eighty seven guys had different opinion than they thought about Josh.

192
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: So yeah, that you're right, we're kind of a victim

193
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: of the cocher.

194
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: It was the Jeremy Fowler article and it said, immense talent,

195
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: but he makes a lot of mistakes. He's underdeveloped at

196
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: winning at the line of scrimmage, tends to lock onto

197
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: targets more of a thrower than a precise passer, forces

198
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: throws into traffic. And then what did Josh Allen do

199
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: that year? Josh Allen went on to win the MVP.

200
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: So I don't like when execs decide to do this

201
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: and they don't put their name next to it. If

202
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: you have an opinion about a player, put your name

203
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: next to it.

204
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing too. And this guy, this assistant coach,

205
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: I guess it, said an NFC assistant coach. He won't

206
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: say that to anybody unless he gets telling. And he says,

207
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the truth, but I'm not. You don't

208
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: put my name on it because I don't want our

209
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: information to get out there, and I don't want them

210
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: to know what our team thinks about it, so they

211
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: don't get the information unless they agree to keep it anonymous.

212
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: This is a Jeremy Fowler piece that was put out there,

213
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: so I get all of that. And sometimes if you

214
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: want the real truth, you've got to tell them you can,

215
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: they'll do it anonymously.

216
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: I just think it's an easy way to get off

217
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: the hook. I don't like when you don't tie your

218
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: name to something. If you're gonna say it, tie your

219
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: name to it. And I know this is the only

220
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: way that you're going to get these types of quotes

221
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: if you can do it an honestly. But why try

222
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: and stick your hand into into something that's messy and

223
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: continue and you mess it up yourself. This is a

224
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: player's future online.

225
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: And I know this triggers a lot of people in

226
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: our end of the business are like just up in

227
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: arms over somebody saying this about a player. I'm this

228
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me at all, whether it's true or not.

229
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Whether the guy's either throwing the smoke screen for Jeremy Foul.

230
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: I think it's Jeremy Foul. Tom Pelisaro, I'm sorry not

231
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler, it was Tom Pelisaro, whether they're throwing the

232
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: smoke screen at Tom Pelisaro, whether the guy's a relationship

233
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: with Pelisara says, hey, I want you to put this

234
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: out anonymously. I'm telling this is what I and Pelisaro

235
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: did it because he owes the guy. Stuff like that happens.

236
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: This doesn't trigger me at all like it does some people,

237
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: because for most part, I grew up in the locker room,

238
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: and I've heard coaches talk about players, and I've heard

239
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: players talk about players. You better have some thick skin.

240
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: You better have some thick skin Shadu or Sanders. And

241
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, Dion Sanders his dad and everybody's

242
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: all this nepotism thing about you know, Shadur would never

243
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: been a good enough player. I don't know about all that.

244
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I know this. Dion's seen it before, He's like going

245
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: should do it. Don't worry about that. Somebody's always gonna

246
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: should do or should know. Somebody's gonna knock him over, right,

247
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: That's part of what you sign up for as a

248
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: pro athlete. You're in the public eye, and in the

249
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: day and age in which we live, nobody is unscathed

250
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: on social media. So this this is just a draft

251
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: day story that we'll we'll talk about in ten years

252
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: and whether it was true or not, I'm this doesn't

253
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: bother me. This Unfortunately, I'm maybe I'm jaded to this

254
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: kind of world we live in and are end of

255
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: the business where people say stuff like that just to

256
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: get clicks. And let's face it, tom Pella Sero didn't

257
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: lead the story with the stuff about Tyler Shuck. Nobody

258
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: knows who Tyler Shuck is. He's the fifth best quarterback

259
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: in this class from Louisville. We talked about him for

260
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. They're gonna talk about the guy, and they're

261
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna put something out there that gets clicks.

262
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: That's and this and this, this is certainly inflammatory. So people,

263
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: if you want the truth, you got to hide the source.

264
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Whether this is the truth or not is still in question.

265
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: And I don't think Tom Pella Sero dreamed this up.

266
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he got told this point blank. But yeah,

267
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: but but that's just that's the way of the business.

268
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Shador having to sit there now,

269
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: he's got to live through this, and this is going

270
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: to be the topic of conversation, even tomorrow night when

271
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: he's sitting in the green room in Green Bay with

272
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: all those people, you know, with all the other guys.

273
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: This is you know, this is what you got to

274
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: put up with. Yeah, I get it, everybody's up in

275
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: the arms. How could a guy say that anonymously and

276
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: be that inflammatory? Listen, he whoever this NFC assistant coach is,

277
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to. I'm telling you the truth. You

278
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: don't have to print it. It's not his decision to

279
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: put it in print. It's not his decision. But if

280
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: you want the truth, and I'm not gonna I'm not

281
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: gonna tell it to you if you can't attribute it

282
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: to me because I don't want my team to pay

283
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: a price for it, I'll tell it to you, but

284
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: you can't bring it back on us. Now. You can

285
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: do with it what you want, but don't link us

286
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: to it, because we got a draft to do, and

287
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: we got we got a billion dollar entity here trying

288
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: to draft, and we're the defending champions. Maybe then maybe

289
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: it's a Philadelphia Eagle guy. Probably not, but you know

290
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I'll tell you the truth if

291
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: you want it, because you guys are all clamoring for

292
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: the real truth. I'll give it to you, but don't

293
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: you know you can do with it what you want. Now,

294
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: everybody's up in arms because they actually have opinions about

295
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: these guys. Well, not everybody likes shaduor Sanders. Not everybody

296
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: likes Abdul Carter, you know, and this guy Maxwell Harriston

297
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: that's been mocked to the Bills, or you know, Kenneth Grant.

298
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people don't like these kids. They're everywhere.

299
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: So you got to live with it. You gotta live

300
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: with it. I know it's wrong that this Shadueur Sanders

301
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: now on the spotlight. He didn't ask for it. But

302
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: if you want the truth about what people really think,

303
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: that's the if you go behind the curtain of the NFL,

304
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: there's some very unflattering evaluations for these players, very unflattering.

305
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: So I get it. We still don't even know if

306
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: this is true, if the guy actually if the assistant

307
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: coach actually thinks this, or whether this NFC team is

308
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: the number three pick of the draft and they're waiting

309
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: for Shador. That's the truth, So I get it. I mean,

310
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: it's fun and it's but it's clickbait.

311
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 2: It makes me so mad. And you know what, you

312
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: know what I hope happens. I hope Shadoor Sanders goes

313
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: out and proves everybody wrong. I hope you have the

314
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: best rookie season. I hope you get into a starting

315
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: role early and you show everybody what you can do

316
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: at the NFL level. You show off your athleticism, you

317
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: show off your leadership in that locker room, and you

318
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: improve on the things that you need to improve upon.

319
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: That's what I hope for the kid. After reading some

320
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: of these quotes.

321
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: I hope, Yeah, I do too. I hope he turns

322
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, I hope he turns out to be the

323
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: guy that his dad thinks he is. You know, I

324
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: know Dian's very proud of him. I hope he turns

325
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: out to be that guy for his sake. Yeah, I'm

326
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: totally with you, mat Is. Yeah, I don't want to

327
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: cheer against these guys. You know, nobody wants to do that.

328
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: Give me some guys I can get behind.

329
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night and this weekend is one of the biggest

330
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: moments of these young men's lives, and I think that

331
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: should be celebrated. Instead of bringing a guy down. I

332
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: did want to read quickly one positive quote out of

333
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: that article, because, like I said, there's some negative comments,

334
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: but there's also positive comments to go along with each

335
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 2: and every quarterback who's listed. An NFC assistant coach said

336
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: he's got the ability to throw at all three levels,

337
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: good on the ball, out, quick passing game, can move around,

338
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: tough as all get out. He'll take hits and just

339
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: hop up and it doesn't really FaZe him. That's impressive.

340
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: There's obviously things he needs to improve on, just working

341
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 2: progressions and things like that. So I wanted to end

342
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: on a positive note there with Shudhara Sanders, because there

343
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: are people. While people may not like him, are people

344
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: that do like his game. You say this too, a

345
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: part of the thirty two teams here, I'll.

346
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: Say this too. And I'm not throwing anything on Shadu

347
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: or saying how this could go, but let me say this,

348
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: don't underestimate the level of intelligence a young twenty year

349
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: old has, particularly who's been mentored by maybe one of

350
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time in Deon Sanders, his dad.

351
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: So if you go into a team and you say, listen,

352
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: this is not going to be a good spot for you, Shaudor,

353
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: and Dion's telling that you're not. It's not going to

354
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: be a good spot for you. You don't want to

355
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: be drafted by that team. So you need to go

356
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: in there and you need to a do this in

357
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: that interview, do that in that interview. Yet you need

358
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: to blow this interview. That's true.

359
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: Also that part of that.

360
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: They are smart enough to do that, and they know

361
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: exactly how. So if Shador Sanders went into this NFC team,

362
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: whoever it may be, who's within striking distance of picking him,

363
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: which is in the top ten or whatever in the

364
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: first round, a New Orleans team like a New Orleans,

365
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: a Giants team, most of the top ten are AFC

366
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: teams or Chicago, and they're not going to pick a quarterback,

367
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: but certainly Carolina a New Orleans not in Carolina either.

368
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: So it's got to be like it's got to be

369
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: a team like New Orleans. And if Dion goes in

370
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: there and says, listen, you do not want to get

371
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: picked by that team. I don't I know things about him,

372
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: I know the right he goes, you got to blow

373
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: that interview. Certainly, the kids smart enough to do that,

374
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: so that it all that stuff I said about teams,

375
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Yes I could, because we've seen it. John Elway did

376
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: it way back in the day. So I'm not playing

377
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: for the Colts. I will not play for them. Archie

378
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: Manning told the Chargers, do not draft my son. Your

379
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: organization is a bad landing spot for any quarterback. Don't

380
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: draft him. Bo Jackson said, listen, Tampa Bay, you can

381
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: draft me if you want, but I won't play for

382
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: you. You got nothing, and they did, and he did. Players

383
00:20:53,680 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: are smart enough to do that, particularly special ones. You can't.

384
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: You can't make any conclusions about Shador Sanders from this

385
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: article nothing. It could be a smoke screen by the

386
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: NFC hit assistant coach, and it could be Shadoor Sanders

387
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: deliberately going in and messing up that interview. He knows

388
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna get I mean, come on, he's gonna get drafted,

389
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: and it's all about where you land. He's already making

390
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: five million bucks a year. He doesn't. He didn't, you know,

391
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: the first contract, his rookie contracts nothing, it's not important.

392
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: It's his second contract, and his second contract depends on

393
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: where he lands tomorrow.

394
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: Night, and if he falls to a team that's talented.

395
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: That may help a guy out at least even if

396
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: it's not talented.

397
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he's hoping to get all the way to Pittsburgh

398
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: at twenty one. He'll go play for Mike Tomlin. H

399
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: That guy wins nine games every year.

400
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: That team has some pieces, right.

401
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: So you know if he if Shador And believe me,

402
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: his dad was smart enough to do this. So I'm

403
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: thinking his dad's helping him. Say listen, calm down, you

404
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: don't you don't need to ace this. For instance, I'm

405
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: just saying this New Orleans interview, don't worry about it,

406
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: don't waste your time for the Giants. I know that

407
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: the Giants have done a lot of work on Shadur.

408
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Maybe should maybe dial said don't uh huh, don't do it,

409
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: don't do it. I don't. I don't like that, you know,

410
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't like them fit. You don't want to be

411
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: in New York right out of the gate, it's too

412
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: tough or whatever. For whatever reason, I would not put

413
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: it past him to go in and take some of

414
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: these interviews way more seriously and be way more engaged

415
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: than other interviews. Abdul Carter only took four. You can

416
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: take thirty. He took four. These guys are smart enough

417
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: to know where they want to land. And if if

418
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback in the NFL, we all know half

419
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: of it's you, half of it is where you land.

420
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: It's really important you find a spot. I don't know

421
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: if Jaden Daniels is is good. If he doesn't land

422
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: in Washington. You know, there's a lot in this. There's

423
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot in this. And we talked about it at

424
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: link for weeks and we're taking a quarterback. Now, we're

425
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: getting to the point where people are getting desperate. They're

426
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: putting out some stuff to try and sabotage players or

427
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: do this or that. You're trying to get down to

428
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the nitty gritty and all the work's kind of been done.

429
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Now they know the guy, so they got opinions and

430
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: nobody is a consensus ever, So whatever disagreements there are,

431
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: whatever things they find out, I think it's really intriguing

432
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: as to how much Shudeur Sanders knows exactly who that was.

433
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: It said that we will know what happens. They planned

434
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: it on Thursday night. We will know. We are hours

435
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: away from this answer. Whether he goes in the first

436
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: round where he goes in the first round, or if

437
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: Sanders falls out of the first round. We got to

438
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: take a break because when we returned second you're running back.

439
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 2: Ray Davis is joining the show next on One Bill's Live,

440
00:23:53,240 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: represented by Colyde Health the un Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

441
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: back to you One Bill's Live. Mattie Glad Longso, Steve Tasker,

442
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: and we are now joined by second year Bill's running

443
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 2: back Ray Davis. Ray, Welcome to the show. You're back

444
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: for off season workouts. What's it like being back in

445
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: this building with your guys.

446
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 3: It feels fun. You know, first of all, thank you

447
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: for having me. It feels fun to be able to

448
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: see the guys and just have fun all over again

449
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: and lift and then you know, go do things in

450
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: terms of off the field, going to dinner and playing golf,

451
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: like you're just developing that chemistry in that brotherhood. So

452
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: it's definitely it's a good time because I was pretty

453
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: bored in the off season.

454
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: And it's funny too because now after tomorrow, you're no

455
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: longer a rookie. I mean, you've been around a calendar year.

456
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: You know, the draft happens now does it sit different with.

457
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: I try to ask the guys like I'm a second year.

458
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: They say, no, it doesn't count until you play your

459
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 3: third game. Second, I'm still technically a rookie.

460
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Their eyes on year experience. Yeah, I get it. But

461
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: it does feel I think for most guys because now

462
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: after this draft, you will have seen everything there is

463
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: to see for you. You know, all the milestones and

464
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: the first of this and first of that, first OTA's

465
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: first mini camp. Now it's going to be everything's gonna

466
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: be happening for the second time, and there's gonna be

467
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: guys who were just like you in the door. So

468
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like, oh, okay, now I've seen it.

469
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I get it kind of thing, right, Yeah, yeah.

470
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's definitely being in the position I am

471
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: now and then being in the position I was a

472
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 3: year ago. As you know, completely the three sixty. You know,

473
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: when you don't know where you're going, you don't know

474
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: where you're gonna be, that the outcome is something where

475
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: you're just like, somebody, please draft me, Somebody, just give

476
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 3: me that opportunity. And then now being in the position

477
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 3: it's about it's time to get better now, I did

478
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: everything I did Year one? How do I take that

479
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: step and become a better person and a better player?

480
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: Year two?

481
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: Time to get better?

482
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: Now?

483
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: I remember we were like two weeks removed from the season.

484
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: I was fucking down the hallway and who do I

485
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: see but Ray Davis already back in the building. I

486
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: looked at you and I was like, why are you here?

487
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: But Ray was here to continue to work and develop.

488
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: And I think I said, that says a lot about

489
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: who you are as a player and a person. Why

490
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: did you decide to come back so early and be

491
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: in this building?

492
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: You know, it was an opportunity to get around the

493
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: straight staff and get around the training staff and just

494
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: put a plan together to see, Okay, what are things

495
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: we need to get better at, things that we are

496
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: good at and we can improve. And that was always

497
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. When the season ended, you know, obviously,

498
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: take a little bit of time off, gather what happened.

499
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: But at the same time, let's come in and let's

500
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: start this journey. Now, start putting in this work. So

501
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: then when it's time to finish painting that picture before

502
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: the season starts, we feel good, we feel comfortable. We

503
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: could take that big, deep breath and just enjoy the season.

504
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: So you got this off season and the first thing

505
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: out of the box, you're gonna be on this embedded

506
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: You have some cameras follow you. I went back to

507
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: San Francisco, back home, spend some time at your middle school.

508
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: Had some how was that experience getting letting the camera

509
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: crew follow you around?

510
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: I loved it. I love being around the camera crew.

511
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 3: Those those three guys were amazing.

512
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're the guys in the building all Yes,

513
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: it's not like they were strangers either, right, Yeah.

514
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 3: They were amazing. Just to have them with my family,

515
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: have them just join my journey, you know, being a

516
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: part of something that I grew up in in my environment.

517
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: So it was pretty cool to have them there. Pretty

518
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: cool to have the cameras and the kids. It was

519
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: the kids, and the kids just loved it. And Josh

520
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: came through answer in the face time. And I think

521
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: that's what you that's what you live for. You live

522
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: to see smiles on other kids' faces because they're seeing

523
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 3: some of their idols and they're seeing where they could

524
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: be in a couple of years.

525
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 2: If you're watching on MSG right now, you're seeing the

526
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: scenes from this embedded episode at school with Ray Ray.

527
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: As you recall the scenes from this episode and how

528
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: the team followed you, what are you most excited to

529
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 2: show Bill's Mafia through this embedded episode?

530
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 3: Really just you know where I came from, coming from

531
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 3: San Francisco, coming from the inner city, you know, and

532
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: just seeing the things that I went through, the child

533
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: and tribulations that I faced, but also seeing the people

534
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: that was with me during that journey, right, you know

535
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: the saying it takes a village to raise someone, and

536
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 3: that's just entirely what my whole story is about. It

537
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 3: took a lot of different faces, a lot of different

538
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 3: people to help me be where I'm at today. And

539
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: to see some of those people get camera time for

540
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: them to express and tell their stories about what they

541
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 3: saw when I was younger. I think that that's the

542
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 3: best part, is to go home and see people who

543
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: haven't seen me in years, but was able to feel

544
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: like they were a part of it because they helped

545
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: me get to where I was at.

546
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: So it's funny too, you guys. You know, you get

547
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: a chance to go back to your little community and

548
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: they they know you play for the Buffalo Bills, and

549
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: you play for Sean McDermott and Josh Allen. You're taking

550
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: handoffs from Josh catching passes. They don't want to know

551
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: what he's right, so you it's become a thing we

552
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: saw Keon doing. Now do you FaceTime Josh right on

553
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: the spot? And guy picks up?

554
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: I was shocked. They were like, who's the most famous

555
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: person on your phone? I'm like, I'm pretty sure it

556
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 3: might be Josh and and they're like, cal, I'm like,

557
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll answer, and then he answered. I

558
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: was even shocked, but I was grateful. You know, Josh

559
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: is such a great person, and I think he shares

560
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: the same thing that me and Keon. We want to

561
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 3: put smiles on people's faces, and we know when they

562
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: see somebody like that, it's definitely exciting.

563
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 2: Ray looking back on your rookie season, I remember just

564
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: reflecting on this season in the weeks after the twenty

565
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: twenty four season and mentioning that you had six total

566
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: touchdowns in your rookie year. That's a productive season. And

567
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: I know there's work to build on and you want

568
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: to improve in certain categories, but looking back on what

569
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: you did in that first year in the NFL, What

570
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: were you happy about? What were you most surprised about?

571
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: For me, the season it went well. You know, there

572
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: were things I can continue to get better at. There

573
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 3: was things that I felt that I did do well at.

574
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: But I think the whole reason I had a successful

575
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 3: season is really just my room. You know, entirely the

576
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 3: team itself, but my room. Being in a room with

577
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: James and Tye and Frank. Those are guys who pushed

578
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: me each and every day to become a better player.

579
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: You know, it was a competitive room, but we also

580
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: were you know, teaching each other things that we didn't

581
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 3: necessarily know about each other. You know, There's things that

582
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: I wanted to get better at. There's things ty I

583
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 3: wanted to get better at. James and Frank right, and

584
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: we're always communicative. We're always saying, hey, you know, maybe

585
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 3: you could do this or in the game, maybe read

586
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 3: it different. It was never no hatred towards each other.

587
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: It was I want to see you grow. I want

588
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: to see you become the best player you can. So

589
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: that throughout my whole rookie year was just guys telling me,

590
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: take your time, enjoy your rookie year. There's gonna have

591
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: there's gonna be mistakes. You're not gonna be perfect, but

592
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna have some good, good moments that you're gonna

593
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: be proud of. And there were some moments I felt

594
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: proud of.

595
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: And running back room is a little different than other

596
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: spots because, like an offensive line, you got five guys

597
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 1: that are gonna play, and they're gonna play in their

598
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: spot and they left. You know, Osirius Torrens is gonna

599
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: be the right guard. He's gonna be the right guard

600
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: every play. You Andy, you and Tye and James. You

601
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: are interchangeable at the same spot, so you're all in.

602
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: They'll call different plays for each of you, but you

603
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: all play the exact same spot and you you spell

604
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: each other. It comes off. You go on. You have

605
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: a package of plays that are yours. He has a

606
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: package of plays that are his. But you're playing the

607
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: same position and depending on what happens, I mean, you're

608
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: all doing the exact same assignment. It's a different kind

609
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: of room than the wide receiver room or the dB

610
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: room or something like that. It's and explain to us

611
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of the nuance of that. How you

612
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: really do got to know each other?

613
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we we all bring different styles and

614
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: techniques to the game, right. You know, James is quick

615
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: and as a slasher and ties a bruiser, and you

616
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: know I could be a bruiser and I could be

617
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: a slasher too, So we all have three different elements

618
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: to our game. But I think that's the good thing

619
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 3: about it. You don't necessarily know what that next person

620
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: is gonna do. You know, you don't know if that

621
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: person's gonna take a toss, you know if this guy's

622
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: gonna be an inside zone outside zone. You know that

623
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: there's so many different combinations to all our games. And

624
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: I think that's the great thing about being a running

625
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: back is you can't just be one dimensional, right, you

626
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: have to be You have to be able to provide

627
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: a different versatility that anybody else necessarily can a receiver,

628
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: quarterback hold lime. You have to be able to do

629
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 3: many different things. So for all of us to have

630
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 3: different traits in our game and to go out there

631
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: and just enjoy it and play our respective way and

632
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: then be able to spell each other. You can't act

633
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: for no better running back by committee than you know,

634
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: having James and Tie myself Ray.

635
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: I always say, a rookie season is hard for players

636
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: in so many different ways. You're learning an offense, you're

637
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: learning a defense, but even more than that, you go

638
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: through your final season in college football, then you train

639
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: for the Combine, then you hit the Combine, then you're

640
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: working out for teams ahead of the draft, you get drafted,

641
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: and then you go through your rookie mini camp, OTA's

642
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: training camp, and then the NFL season. You really don't

643
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: get a long break until you hit that first off

644
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: season after your rookie year. How is it finally having

645
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: an off season?

646
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: I hit the rookie want three times. I'll be honest,

647
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: I'll be the first to admit I hit the rookie

648
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 3: want three times. And like you said, it's just a

649
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: long process, and it's an enjoy process, but it's long

650
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: going from bowl games to prepping for, you know, another

651
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: bowl game, prepping for combine, prepping for all these different things,

652
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: and getting ready for this season. So it's the love

653
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: of the game of knowing you're going to be able

654
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: to keep playing football a month after month after month,

655
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: but then finally having that time off or able to

656
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: spend time with family, give your body a rest. But

657
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: you don't want to give yourself too much time, because

658
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: then you know, you feel like you're just a potato

659
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: on a couch, right, stay active.

660
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so most people know that. You know, once the

661
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: season's over, you come back and you know it's that

662
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: fateful day of locker clean out and the season's over,

663
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: whether you win it all or don't. But what happens

664
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: also is they give you like an exit interview. They

665
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: tell you, all right, Ray, here's here's what we think,

666
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: and how did that go for you after your rookie year.

667
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean you obviously you know you were probably welcomed

668
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: the information. Say what do you think I need to

669
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: work on? What do you want me to do to

670
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: get better? Because it helps you keep your job. First

671
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 1: of all, what was that like for you? And how

672
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: that what they tell you about what your off season,

673
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: what they wanted it to look.

674
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 4: Like it was.

675
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's very transparent. You know, it's never wrong

676
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: to take constructive criticism, and you know there's things that

677
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: I could have done well throughout the season and be

678
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 3: consistent and you know, just continue to be that player

679
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: that they wanted me to be each and every week. Right,

680
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: So the conversation really was just to come back and

681
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 3: be ready. You know, my plate could grow, my plate

682
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 3: cannot grow. And it's about being ready and having that

683
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: ability where when you're whin, it's your time go out

684
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: there and play your game and be yourself. That's kind

685
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: of what I'm saying is be you with us, right, like,

686
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: be yourself, enjoy the moment, and however you play, however

687
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 3: you bring the athletic ability to the team, we're going

688
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 3: to be able to embrace it and try to get

689
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: it out there and to the public.

690
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: Right.

691
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: So, my conversation was very it was very transparent. I

692
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 3: enjoyed it. I loved it, and you know, I love Skip,

693
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: I love Joe because those guys are very upfront and

694
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: they know I could be a good player and they

695
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: know the things I need to continue to get.

696
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: Skipper and Joe.

697
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: Brady, Yes, they're great guys. Ray, going back to the

698
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: embedded episode and some scenes that we'll see tonight as

699
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 2: it's released at seven o'clock, you are big with Big

700
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 2: Brothers and Big Sis. That is important to you. Can

701
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: you explain why it's so important to you and what

702
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: that organization means to you.

703
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: It's huge to me. When I was younger, I didn't

704
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 3: necessarily live a kid's life. I went through some struggles

705
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 3: and when Big Brothers, Big Sisters was put in my

706
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: life and I was having the opportunity to be around

707
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: Patrick Dally, which was my big at that time, I

708
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: got to be a kid. I got to have fun.

709
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 3: I got to do the things that an eight year old,

710
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: nine and ten year old should be doing at that age, right,

711
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 3: going to batting cage, is, arcade, games, et cetera, etc.

712
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: So understanding how big mentorship is and understanding that having

713
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: someone there to provide comfort is monumental for a kid

714
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 3: who's young and even when you get to your teenage, right,

715
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 3: you got to understand that sometimes it could be not

716
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 3: someone who's your family member who's very supportive. It could

717
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 3: be someone who just wants to see you grow, who

718
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: has necessarily no strings attached to you, but they just

719
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 3: want to see you become the person you need to become.

720
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Right.

721
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: So, being part of the Big Brrous Big Sisters was

722
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: so big to me and I'm pushing it extremely out

723
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: there because to have people join Big Brothers Big Sisters,

724
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: we need bigs. Bigs are so monumental to littles because

725
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: they just see a consistent face, a consistent presence of

726
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: someone who just wants to spend two three hours with them.

727
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's not the hard to go and be

728
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: there for somebody, because ten twenty years later, me and

729
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: Patrick didn't think I'd be in an NFL, right, we

730
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 3: didn't think we have the ability to be spokesman for

731
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 3: big brothers, big sisters. And I want to see that

732
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 3: same journey, if not better with another child and another

733
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: big right, Like someone could be a doctor or a lawyer.

734
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: There are so many outcomes, not necessarily just being an

735
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 3: NFL player, Like go and change someone's life and let

736
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: them change your life. I got to give a speech

737
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: at a wedding at ten, you know, like imagine that, right,

738
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: Like I got to go on my first flight with

739
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: someone who wasn't a family member. I got to just

740
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: do things that I wish I was able to do

741
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 3: with a family member at that time, but I was

742
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: able to do with somebody who was a mentor who

743
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 3: wanted to see me grow.

744
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: You said you got to give a speech at a

745
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: wedding at ten. It's easy to see you are a

746
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 2: natural in front of the microphone, and you have been

747
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: at award ceremonies you do a lot of stuff with

748
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: big brothers, big sisters. Do we see you being an

749
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: analyst or an on air personality in your future as

750
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: you play in the NFL as well.

751
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: That's the goal. That's why I got that degree from Vanderbilt.

752
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: I got communicator, I got the Communicator Studies degree. And

753
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to do sports analysts, always to do

754
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 3: sports commentating. I would love to work on ESPN somedays

755
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: Sports Center. Right now, I'm starting slow. I want to

756
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 3: be able to get a podcast out there and just

757
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 3: have people listening to just some free game, free advice,

758
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's about sports, but it's about life anything.

759
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 3: Just being able to just kind of give my two

760
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 3: cents and you know, paint out a blueprint of in

761
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 3: my eyes, how to become successful through adversity.

762
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: All right, Ray, one more question for you before we

763
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 2: let you go. Now that you're back in the building,

764
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: there's a buzz about the players being back. We feel

765
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: it when you guys are here, and there's so many

766
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 2: familiar faces back in this building, some new ones as well,

767
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: which will be a great addition to this year's roster.

768
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: Why are you excited about this upcoming season?

769
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: I'm excited because we got some guys who want to

770
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 3: come in and compete, who want to win, and you know,

771
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: who want to hoist the trophy at the end of

772
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: the season.

773
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: Right.

774
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: So when everybody has the same goal, has the same mindset,

775
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: that's when you know, okay, we can be successful, right.

776
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 3: And I think the guys that they added are huge pieces.

777
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: The guys that we already have and has building are

778
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 3: huge pieces. Now it's about just putting this painting together

779
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: and making sure it's the best Percasso painting that anybody's

780
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 3: ever seen, right. And then at the end of the day,

781
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 3: you know, whatever the season entails is whatever it entails.

782
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: But I think we got the right guys in the

783
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 3: locker room, the right guys in this building, and the

784
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: right staff.

785
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: Ray, you can come on the show anytime you want

786
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,440

805

Speaker 2: Greg Russo. You also get a look at what Christian

806
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: Benford's hometown looks like, as well as Spencer Brown. So

807
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: it's a jam packed episode full some really good stuff

808
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: that's going to come out tonight at seven o'clock. We

809
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: win I get back to around the NFL because there's

810
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: a couple of things we haven't talked about yet that

811
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: are important to what's going on in the next couple

812
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: months and in the next couple weeks the Pro Football

813
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame Game has been announced. Steve. Preseason football

814
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 2: will kick off not in August this year, but in July,

815
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 2: July thirty first, to be exact. The Lions and Chargers

816
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 2: will meet in Kendon, Ohio to face each other on NBC.

817
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 2: So pencil that in that means schedule release is just

818
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: a few weeks away. We get through the NFL Draft,

819
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: and then it's like a couple weeks later we find

820
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: out the schedule. So that's something to keep in the

821
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 2: back of your minds. As we know this preseason game.

822
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: In just a few weeks, we will know Buffalo's preseason

823
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: games as well. Another item we have to talk about

824
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: because it could affect what happens on draft weekend. Falcons

825
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: general manager Terry Fontano said that quarterback Kirk Cousins is

826
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: in the building for the start of offseason and workouts.

827
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 2: Fontana said the draft would provide more clarity on a

828
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: potential trade, but it's not accurate that they've asked teams

829
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: to pay upwards of twenty or more million dollars of Cousins'

830
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: salary for the deal. According to Diana Russini of the Athletic.

831
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Vikings could all look

832
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: to trade for Cousins during the draft. Questions remain regarding

833
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: cousins play after his twenty twenty four campaign. In his

834
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 2: first season with Atlanta, the quarterback led the NFL with

835
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: sixteen interceptions and had just eighteen passing touchdowns in fourteen games.

836
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 2: The Falcons eventually moved on from Cousins to rookie Michael

837
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: Pennock Junior down the stretch, and Pennix will be the

838
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: starter for the twenty twenty five season. Cousins is going

839
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 2: to be thirty seven before the start of the twenty

840
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: twenty five season and will be approaching his fourteenth NFL season.

841
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 2: So something to follow here. Who knows if Cousins will

842
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: be a part of the Falcons roster after we get

843
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 2: through this draft.

844
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it is intriguing because what it basically

845
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: means is, for those of you who don't follow this stuff,

846
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: they're paying Kirk Cousins twenty seven million dollars money and

847
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a backup. Now, twenty seven million dollars

848
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: is a lot of money for us, but for NFL

849
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's good money, but not for

850
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback. It's it's mid range. So the Falcons very

851
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: well could keep kirk Cousins around and let him back

852
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: up that it could possibly have. He's guaranteed the money.

853
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: That's the problem. They can't cut him. So other teams

854
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: and kirk Cousins, as we all know, he's a serviceable

855
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the National Football League. He's not dynamic,

856
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: he's not elite by any stretch, but he's not gonna

857
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 1: be back. But by the same token matage you heard

858
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: just Matt Mattie just say, you know, eighteen TDS sixteen

859
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: in ors, it's not great. And he was never the

860
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: elite quarterback, never has been the elite quarterback. And he's

861
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: going into the year fourteen. So is he gonna decline

862
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: even further and not be a serviceable starting quarterback? That's

863
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: the question. But there are teams desperate for it. Right

864
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna play somewhere. He's either going to back somebody

865
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 1: up in Atlanta or he's going to be on another team.

866
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: And draft day is the most volatble time of the

867
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: year for rosters, even like final cutdown day. Isn't this

868
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: volatile because now you've got really good players changing teams.

869
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: Now Kirk Cousins is maybe not a really good player,

870
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: but he's a good player and at plays a position

871
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: that you got to have. So this is really interesting.

872
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: Can we have not? And we talked about it yesterday.

873
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: There's been zero movement in the first round this year,

874
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: which is very unusual leading up to the draft.

875
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 3: I'm since.

876
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: On draft Day, if if Kirk Cousins is part of

877
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: your little pile of poker chips over here, he might

878
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: get pushed to the center of the table and put

879
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: out there. So it's interesting to think about because Atlanta

880
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: does have a guy, you know, Mike Pennix. They think,

881
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna go with him. They're not going

882
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: to draft a guy. So it's really intriguing how Kirk

883
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: Cousins does this. And you talk about a guy who

884
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: has been an absolute PhD rem Brandt for the business

885
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: of football, Kirk Cousins and his teammates Cousin, Kirk Cousins

886
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: hasn't made an amount everest of money being just a

887
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: guy at quarterback. And I'm not saying that as a

888
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: disparaging mark. He hasn't been ever been considered as any

889
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: kind of MVP candidate. He got drafted after RG three.

890
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: He was a fourth rounder. RG three was was a

891
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: top pick in the draft. He hung in there, backed

892
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: RG three up guy his chance and played passable football

893
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: and a roster that was better than he was won

894
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: some games played through his four year deal with the Redskins.

895
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: Got franchised, so he pulled out a ton of money

896
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: out of the franchise tag, made another franchise TAG did that,

897
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: became a free agent, and then has been hitting home

898
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: runs free agent on the free agent market ever since

899
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: for fourteen years. So kirk Cousins has hit a financial

900
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: home run already in the National Football League. He's going

901
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 1: to get another twenty seven million this year no matter

902
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: who he plays for. The guy's been brilliant in the

903
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: business end of the football. In fact, he's been better

904
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: at that than he has been on the field. He's

905
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: been pretty good on the field. So this is one

906
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: of the issues in this draft off the field and

907
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: away from the draft prospects that may force teams into

908
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: a movement on the draft board. A guy like kirk

909
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Cousins at that position at this point of his career

910
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: where he got teams, and I think you were right, Maddie.

911
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: The Steelers should be thinking about this with the Aaron

912
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers stuff and all of the the and what were

913
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: the other team of the Cleveland Browns, and he could

914
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: go back to the Vikings. Yeah, you know this is

915
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: if he's gonna back up somebody for twenty seven million dollars.

916
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: And like I said, twenty seven million dollars is a

917
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: lot of money for all of us, but it's it's

918
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: just okay money. And if you've got a guy on

919
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: a rookie deal at quarterback like Mike Pennix Junior or

920
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy in Minnesota, you're you're spending the same money

921
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: as if they were reversed. Let him go, let him

922
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: bring him back. So it's the money is not the

923
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: killer here. It's a fourteen year career of being just

924
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: a good guy, not an elite guy, and it's only

925
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: for one year.

926
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 2: It's a really good backup option for a team that

927
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 2: is not entirely sure about their starting quarterback.

928
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: Right right, Plus the quarterback that you're bringing him in,

929
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: Like if JJ McCarthy all of a sudden says I

930
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: don't know kirked pretty good. I don't know if I

931
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want him in to build.

932
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, he's making twenty seven million dollars. Somebody's gonna say, well,

933
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're gona bring a twenty seven million

934
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: dollars quarterback in here. You're gonna lean towards him and

935
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: not me, You know that kind of stuff. You might,

936
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: it might some feelings might get hurt. But I think

937
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: that's if you bring back to Minnesota. JJ McCarthy and

938
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins know each other. So that's because they played

939
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: together last year two years ago. Or no, No, they

940
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: didn't know because J J. Jamison. Wow, they don't know.

941
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: See I was I fooled myself into thing and JJ

942
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: McCarthy and the Cousins knew each other. But McCarthy was

943
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: a rookie last year. Cousins was already gone.

944
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: Wow, I gotta that.

945
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 1: That put a little, a little pebble into the calm

946
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: waters of my mind.

947
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: I've got ripples, mind blown.

948
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: My mind's kind of blown a little bit. Yeah, I

949
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: don't know, though, I Cousins is not a threat to anybody.

950
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: He's not a threat to anybody. He can plague and

951
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: take some snaff but he's gonna be. He may be

952
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: this guy, that eighteen TD sixteen interception guy. He's never

953
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: been elite, but he is an NFL quarterback.

954
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: He had that one thirteen and four season with the

955
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 2: Vikings in twenty twenty two where he had twenty nine touchdowns.

956
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 2: His career high was thirty five in twenty twenty. Put

957
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: together some numbers, but.

958
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's one of the most intriguing.

959
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's one of the most intriguing stories

960
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: away from the draft. Prospects on the rosters now that

961
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: could force movement tomorrow tomorrow, and that's why we brought

962
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: it up today. It's really interesting and it's flying around

963
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: because Kirk Cousins does move the needle for some teams.

964
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: He wouldn't move the needle for a lot of them,

965
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: but he does for enough of them.

966
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 2: Again, this is the closest we've gotten to the draft

967
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: without any trades involving first round picks since nineteen sixty seven.

968
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 2: That's according to ESPN research. We're gonna take a break

969
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 2: because when we return Mock Draft watch time, it's here.

970
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm revealing the favorite positions and favorite players mock to

971
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: the Bills at number thirty. I've tracked more than one

972
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty. We're crunching the numbers. Next on One

973
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: Bills Live, Don't Go Anywhere. We're presented by Clyde Health,

974
00:49:28,000 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 2: the on Buffalo Bills Radio.

975
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by called Lyda Health.

976
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: Welcome into our number two of one Bills Live on

977
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: this Wednesday afternoon. I Matti Glab joined by Bill's Wall

978
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 2: of Famer Steve Tasker. Tomorrow is the twenty twenty five

979
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 2: NFL Draft. We have made it. The Bills will be

980
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: on the clock with the thirtieth overall pick. We'll see

981
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 2: if they stick and pick or if they decide to

982
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: move up or move down. It'll be fascinating to see

983
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 2: what they decide to do because Brandon Bean told media

984
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 2: yesterday that he does not have thirty first round grades

985
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: on players. Does a player follow them or do they

986
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: decide to move That's the big question here. As we

987
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: sit less than forty eight hours out from the NFL Draft,

988
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: we wanted to tell you guys about the mock draft

989
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 2: watch that I have been doing since January. I have

990
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: one more that's coming out tomorrow Mock Draft Watch ten

991
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 2: point zero, but we wanted to tally the numbers ahead

992
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: of the final Mock Draft Watch, so I've tracked more

993
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: than one hundred and twenty one. Twenty four is the

994
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 2: exact number. Tasker started at the end of January and

995
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 2: we are still going strong. And with that, I keep

996
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 2: an Excel spreadsheet so that we can track who are

997
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 2: the favorite names, who are the favorite position groups, and

998
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 2: even divide it up by month. So I wanted to

999
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: run the list to you and see what you thought.

1000
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: So favorite players mock to Buffalo at number thirty. This

1001
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: should come to note. Yes, as no surprise to you guys,

1002
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: because I have talked about this over the last few guy.

1003
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: This guy has become part of the family, whether he

1004
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: wants to be or not. Yeah, which means probably there's

1005
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 1: no chance he's gone. He's gone by, but we'll see.

1006
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 2: Last year, the favorite names were Adni Mitchell and Brian

1007
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 2: Thomas Junior. We did not draft either of those players.

1008
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: Kean Coleman was in the mix there though, in the

1009
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: middle of the pack for guys who are getting mocked

1010
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: to Buffalo. But the favorite this season has been the

1011
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: defensive tackle out of Michigan, Kenneth Grant being mocked to

1012
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo twenty two times out of the one twenty four

1013
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 2: that I've tracked, and then the list goes on. Number

1014
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: two is cornerback Maxwell Harriston out of Kentucky. He was

1015
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 2: mocked to Buffalo twelve times. And then there's a tie

1016
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 2: for third place and a tie for fifth place Derek Harmon,

1017
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 2: the defensive tackle out of Oregon, and cornerback Trey Amos

1018
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 2: out of Ole Miss. They were both mocked to Buffalo

1019
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 2: nine times. And then bringing up the rear but not

1020
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: really tied for fifth most is defensive tackle Walter Nolan

1021
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: out of Old Miss, safety Nick emn Worry out of

1022
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 2: South Carolina, and cornerback Chavon Rebel out of East Carolina

1023
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: all mocked to Buffalo seven times. So those are the

1024
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 2: favorite names and how we've tracked them. Looking at favorite

1025
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 2: players by month to see how that changed. Well, Kenneth

1026
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 2: Grant was the favorite player by month in three out

1027
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: of the four months we've tracked mock drafts. Grant was

1028
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 2: the favorite in January, March, and April, the favorite in February.

1029
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 2: Is surprising to me, the favorite name being mocked to

1030
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: the Bills at thirtieth over all in February was a

1031
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 2: wide receiver, Matthew Golden out of Texas. He had his

1032
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 2: moment there with the Bills.

1033
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: That's right, he was there for a minute, for a minute, yeah, that.

1034
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: And then at the bottom at this list, you've got

1035
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: the guy who's really been I've seen lately. Is Trey

1036
00:53:54,680 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: Amos the corner out of Old miss I think that's

1037
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: we've got a shot at that. Trey Amos might be

1038
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: there for the Bills. And if it's not Trey Amos,

1039
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Maxwell Harriston could be there as well. But after we

1040
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: talk about all this and see how this goes, neither

1041
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 1: one of these guys, none of these guys, Kenneth Grant,

1042
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: Trey Amos, Maxwell Harrison, none of them may be on

1043
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: the board when we get there. Kenneth gris kind of

1044
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: the way it.

1045
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 2: Is, right. Kenneth Grant was the favorite in April, being

1046
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: mocked to Buffalo seven times out of the forty six

1047
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 2: I tracked. But number two, like you mentioned, was Trey

1048
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 2: Amos being mocked to Buffalo six times in April out

1049
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 2: of the forty six tract. Then you go over to

1050
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 2: position groups, because that's a big part of this conversation, too,

1051
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 2: is who do the analysts and experts believe Buffalo is

1052
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 2: going to draft regardless of the player, which position group

1053
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,959
Speaker 2: is the favorite, And it was defensive line being mocked

1054
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 2: to the Bills forty six percent of the time. Now,

1055
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 2: if you divvy that up in between defensive tackle and

1056
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 2: edge rusher, defensive tackle was the favorite forty two times

1057
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 2: out of the one twenty four. That's thirty four percent,

1058
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: but really close second place. Cornerback mocked to Buffalo forty

1059
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 2: one times at thirty three percent. And as you go

1060
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: down the list, edge rusher is next fifteen times, and

1061
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 2: then safety and wide receiver tied.

1062
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot in this because if you leave that

1063
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: graphic up that we're looking at defensive tackle and corner,

1064
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: those are you know, is an defensive tackle is a

1065
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 1: need and so is corner plus corner is a money spot.

1066
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: Edge russer. The Bills already just extended you know, aj

1067
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: At Panessa, Rousseau's under contract, Javon Solomon's still here. They

1068
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: got guys that can you can already line up. It's

1069
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: not a need safety. You could say, okay, we need it,

1070
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 1: but that's not a money spot for a first round selection,

1071
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: even if it is at number thirty. Wide receiver is

1072
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: a money spot. And even though the Bills have got

1073
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: a room full and probably a more accomplished room full

1074
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: of wide receivers this year than they did last year

1075
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: when they set a franchise scoring record, wide receiver's still

1076
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: a money position that kind of gets kicked up the

1077
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: priority list even for mock drafters. So the safety and

1078
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. I still think safety is a much

1079
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 1: bigger need or want than wide receiver, but wide receivers

1080
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: just flat out more important. So that's why they're they're

1081
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: mocked almost identical. It's it's really interesting about this. This

1082
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle cornerback, I mean, that's that's been last year,

1083
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: was wide receiver. This year, it's like defensive tackle corner.

1084
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: Let's see it. And then you know they already they

1085
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: just signed a former All Pro corner yesterday who knows

1086
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: the system and fits it.

1087
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: So we'll see. There's mock drafts coming out today and tomorrow,

1088
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 2: so we'll see if that shifts anything. Because a lot

1089
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 2: of these mock drafts were tracked before Trey White signed

1090
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 2: with Buffalo. Now news was out there unofficially that he

1091
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 2: was coming to Buffalo, but he had not signed yet.

1092
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 2: And the last thing I wanted to bring up before

1093
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 2: we get into some favorite names of mine is favorite

1094
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 2: positions by month? Who is the most popular positions heading

1095
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 2: to Buffalo at thirty by month? Defensive tackle owned the

1096
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: first three months of tracking these mock drafts January, February,

1097
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 2: and March, defensive tackle was the most popular position group

1098
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 2: heading to Buffalo at number thirty. But in April, here

1099
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: comes the cornerback position being mocked the most out of

1100
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 2: any other position group at nineteen times compared to defensive

1101
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: tackle at thirteen times out of the forty six tracks.

1102
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: That's because of Bosa Hoyt and Ogunjobie. The signings that

1103
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: they that they made. They did that in March, in

1104
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: mid March and free agency, so they got those guys

1105
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: under contract. So April everybody's like, oh, well, they're not

1106
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: going to take a defensive tackle at all. Well not

1107
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: so fast. So that's you can everything changed when you

1108
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: get these free agent signings and all of that, and

1109
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: then it kind of went back to the norm. Then

1110
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: Kenneth Grant was right back to the top of the

1111
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: list after one month off. It'll be really interesting to

1112
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: see where that guy laand you guys kind of get

1113
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: to know the guy, Like Michael Thomas.

1114
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 2: Junior, I thought, and yeah, Brian Thomas Junior, he's.

1115
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: Going to be a Bill. Brian Thomas Junior, he's going

1116
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: to be a Bill. We thought that for months last year.

1117
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,959
Speaker 1: And he's a Jacksonville Jet and played very well from them,

1118
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: which is why he didn't fall to the Bills.

1119
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: Somebody knew it, and we've seen Kenneth Grant going in

1120
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 2: the early twenties. So it'll just depend on how the

1121
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: board falls, how teams see these players. But now I

1122
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: want to reveal some of my favorite names, all right

1123
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: that could be available for Buffalo in the first round,

1124
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: not saying at thirty they may have to move to

1125
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 2: go grab these guys. And then wanted to reveal some

1126
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 2: names who have become favorites of mine that will be

1127
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 2: available for Buffalo in the second and third round, because

1128
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 2: we've talked at nauseum about these guys who could head

1129
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 2: to Buffalo in the first round. So I want to

1130
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: give some love to some names we might have not

1131
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: talked about as much so in terms of guys that

1132
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 2: could come off the board at thirty or maybe a

1133
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 2: little bit earlier if Buffalo decides to move up in

1134
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 2: the draft. These are guys that I've really enjoyed watching

1135
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: and are on my list his favorites. The first a

1136
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 2: defensive tackle Derek Harmon out of Oregon. He's six four,

1137
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: three hundred and thirteen pounds, had five sacks last season,

1138
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 2: and Harmon is a physically gifted player who knows how

1139
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: to use his strength to cause chaos. He has strong

1140
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 2: hands to control people. Harmon engages to shed blocks and

1141
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 2: disrupts quarterbacks. Harmon is a run stopper, pops into lanes

1142
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 2: and makes sure the play ends right there. His frame

1143
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 2: takes up a lot of space, which frees his edge

1144
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 2: rushers up to go get the quarterback. This is why

1145
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 2: I really like Derek Harmon as a defensive tackle, why

1146
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 2: he was at the top of my list.

1147
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, Derek Harmon a as a

1148
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackle rushes the passer well exactly, and that's you

1149
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: know that he he's I think he's a three down player.

1150
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: We talked to, you know, Brandon Bean said yesterday they

1151
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: kind of put their defensive lineman into buckets where there

1152
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: is a three down player, a two and a half

1153
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: down player, and then you know a two down player.

1154
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Derek Harmer is a three down player to me because

1155
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: he can rush the passer from the inside and that's

1156
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: that would really help the Bills.

1157
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: That's what Brandon Bean said is the guys who are

1158
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: getting paid big time money at the defensive tackle position

1159
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 2: now are players who, yes, they can stop the run,

1160
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 2: but they're players who can act as a pass rusher

1161
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: and knock down the quarterback finish the play. That is

1162
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 2: what's most important. And with Derek Harmon, you see the

1163
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: skill set to play at the defensive tackle position, but

1164
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 2: you also see the skill set for him to go

1165
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 2: rush the passer. Next up on the list will stick

1166
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 2: with defensive line. An edge rusher James Pierce out of

1167
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee six' five, two forty five trades trades. Traits he

1168
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 2: ran a four four to seven at the edge, position

1169
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: had seven and a half sacks last, season first Team ALL.

1170
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Sec he combines a relentless effort with good speed to

1171
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 2: power to get. Home pierce has a good feel and

1172
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: instincts for the. Position he can effectively get off, blocks

1173
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 2: works his way, inside and knows when to pause in

1174
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 2: pursuit as the play, Unfolds pierce's frame and length allows

1175
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 2: him to shed blockers and reach to finish. Tackles he

1176
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 2: has rare traits and size and speed that turned into

1177
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 2: nineteen and a half sacks for him in his three

1178
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: years At. Tennessee the thing About pierce is the bend

1179
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 2: is not necessarily there for. Him he plays more upright

1180
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 2: at that. Position so the question, is can you get

1181
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: a player who can add some strength to his frame

1182
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 2: at two hundred and forty five pounds and learn how

1183
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 2: to bend to play a little bit more fluid at that? Position?

1184
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Right he got. It he's got to be able to

1185
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: get around the corner and also hold up in the run.

1186
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Game only he weighs less than two hundred and fifty,

1187
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Pounds but as you, said he's, Long he's got a

1188
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of length and can get off the. Edge the

1189
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: guy's really, fast so he runs a sub four five

1190
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: forty at two hundred and fifty pounds or just shy of.

1191
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: It he's gonna be an immediate impact, PLAYER i. Think

1192
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: but he may be only like a a one down

1193
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: player and that'll be third. Down but that's. It if

1194
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: you get him and then you can get, another you,

1195
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: know run stuffer up. Front but you, know if you

1196
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: can get a run stuff for you know or, whatever

1197
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: so that you can put him in there on other

1198
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: downs and he doesn't have to do so much in

1199
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: the run, game you might give that a. Shot but

1200
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: that's that's the word on, him and he. WILL i

1201
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: think he will be available for The bills at. THIRTY

1202
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: i think he got a chance of actually getting that.

1203
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: Guy and that's a player who the coaching staff has to.

1204
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 2: Believe we like the traits, here we like what he,

1205
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: offers but we believe we can add to his toolbox another.

1206
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Thing it's the thing we've been talking about With shchudo Or,

1207
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: sanders when they sit down with him and look him

1208
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: in the eye and ask him some serious questions about his,

1209
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: life about what his philosophy, is what he likes about,

1210
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: football what he doesn't like about. Football if, that if

1211
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 1: he impresses in that, atmosphere that could that could sell

1212
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: him to The. Bills he's if he's got THE dna

1213
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: that they talk about so, much that could be a

1214
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: real difference maker for. Him if he sits down and

1215
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: sells The bills coaching staff on who and what he can,

1216
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: be not just who and what he.

1217
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 2: Is let's round out the list of first round players

1218
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 2: that are my. Favorites two. Cornerbacks i've spoken about this

1219
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: cornerback for about a month, now and a month ago

1220
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 2: he was somebody who was flying off the board in the.

1221
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 2: Teens now recently has fallen in terms of his draft

1222
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: stock for a couple of reasons THAT i don't think

1223
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:05,560

1241
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 2: knock the ball. Away.

1242
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah he's six to almost two hundred pounds and like you,

1243
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: Said maddie it he plays a position like he was

1244
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: really like it's his, spot like it's his. Wheelhouse he sees.

1245
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: It he's. Confident now this is is? THIS i don't know.

1246
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: That he's not the guy that hasn't had some injury.

1247
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 2: Issues he didn't finish the season last, year played in

1248
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 2: six games and missed some time with a foot. Injury

1249
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 2: so that's one of the knocks on. Him and he

1250
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: did not run a.

1251
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: Forty that's, why and that's why teams are hesitant ABOUT

1252
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: i think that's the only reason they're they're hesitant about

1253
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: him is because of that question of can he hold

1254
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: up even at that, size can he hold up at

1255
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: the position for pro for a real pro pro, Career

1256
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna pick a guy high like that you.

1257
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: WANT i have confidence you can get to a second

1258
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: contract and be productive for years to. Come you, don't you,

1259
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: know that's kind of what you're hoping. For but if

1260
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: you get, him and even if he only plays three

1261
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: years for, you if he plays at that high, level

1262
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: maybe you take that.

1263
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Shot and then the final cornerback THAT i think could

1264
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 2: be available For buffalo in the first round or maybe

1265
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 2: early in the second round if they decide to trade

1266
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 2: out Is Ole miss Cornerback Trey. AMOS i have really

1267
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 2: fallen in love with his. Tape another, tall big corner

1268
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 2: six to one one ninety five RAN a four four.

1269
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 2: Three this guy has, speed three interceptions last. Season had

1270
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: his best season last. Year ALL Sec First, team, physical

1271
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 2: tall and fast cornerback who can win AGAINST sec wide.

1272
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Receivers amos uses his size and strength to crowd receivers

1273
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 2: at the catch. Point amos has cat like reflexes to

1274
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 2: get his hands on. Balls really good route recognition from,

1275
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 2: him which allows him to play fast and break up.

1276
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 2: Passes amos can play zone or. Press amos is more

1277
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 2: natural in, zone which he can let himself read and.

1278
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 2: React uses those instincts in zone. COVERAGE i think in

1279
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 2: THE nfl today you need, height, speed and the willingness

1280
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 2: to not back down from a. Fight that's needed at

1281
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 2: the cornerback. Position and you get that With Tray. Amos

1282
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 2: standing tall at six' to one and one hundred and ninety,

1283
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: Five pounds amos has the physicality and instincts to get

1284
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 2: involved in a lot. Of plays you're getting SOMEONE who

1285
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 2: i think can play in multiple positions in terms of zone,

1286
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 2: and PRESS and i think he can grow in his

1287
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 2: fluidity at the.

1288
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Next, level yeah he is very tall and, very fast

1289
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: two pretty good traits for A corner he does seem

1290
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: to have that what, You, said maddie that little competitive

1291
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: edge that he Likes to he's a little bit of,

1292
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: a yeah not going to back down. For him he's a.

1293
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Spark guy he likes, the competition he likes the one on,

1294
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: one challenge and he seems to have the right attitude

1295
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: to play. That spot, SO yeah i got a tall

1296
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: guy six,' to two just under two hundred pounds at

1297
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety five and he. Runs extremely, Well

1298
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 1: SO yeah i'm i like. HIM as well i would

1299
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: be really Happy with Will Johnson or trey Amos if

1300
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: the bill's got down to picking a corner.

1301
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 2: At that spot And if the bills decide to move

1302
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 2: out of, the first round if they believe their board

1303
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 2: is getting wiped and they just got to Move out

1304
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 2: because amos is, Off the board johnson's, Off The, Board Derek,

1305
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 2: Harmon Kenneth. Grant james pierce we got to get out

1306
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 2: of here because it's. Not worth it here are SOME

1307
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 2: names that i think would be Great additions, to buffalo's

1308
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 2: roster and the second and the third round is where these.

1309
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 2: Guys are projected we'll start. With cornerback first there's a

1310
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 2: Cornerback Out, Of Notre, dame benjamin morrison who has some

1311
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 2: off the charts type of traits with the way he.

1312
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 2: Plays the position six to zero. One ninety, three so

1313
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 2: again tall. AND big corner i like tall and big

1314
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 2: corner for what they're going up against. In the league. Nine,

1315
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 2: Career interceptions now morrison did miss the final six final

1316
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 2: ten games of the season with. A hip injury he only.

1317
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Played In six if morrison finished out his, ENTIRE last

1318
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: season i think he would have been projected as a.

1319
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 2: First Round cornerback because morrison plays with strong hands and

1320
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 2: body control to get leverage on routes, over wide receiver which.

1321
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 2: Turns into interceptions morrison does not give up a play,

1322
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 2: until it's over especially on. The deep routes. That's his

1323
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 2: specialty makes knocking those balls away. Look Very easy when

1324
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 2: morrison is, near the ball he does a great job

1325
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: of going for it and has wide. Receiver like hands

1326
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 2: if YOU'RE watching on, msg right now you. Can see

1327
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 2: it morrison provides sticky coverage and he has, an athletic

1328
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 2: frame can run routes for these wide, receiver WIDE receivers

1329
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 2: and i think is really. Good off coverage it seems

1330
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: like the foundation is there. For this corner with his

1331
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: ability to track balls and. Knock them down you wonder

1332
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 2: about how that versatility can change at. The next level

1333
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 2: and he's shown that he can have seasons. With great

1334
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 2: production morrison had six interceptions during. His, freshman year.

1335
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah and he's he's, uses good technique seems to be

1336
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: confident in. What he does, he's you know he's one

1337
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: of THOSE guys that i don't know he just even

1340
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,840

1341
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: yeah he's not gonna rise. To. The challenge dude that's

1342
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: a great attitude as part of, that position's makeup and

1343
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: that's why, he's you, know he's right he's thinking you're

1344
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: thinking about him in the late first to mid second round.

1345
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: Pick at corner he's he plays like an elite corner at,

1346
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: the college levels and, the question is, like you said

1347
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:56,840

01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 1: The thing too when he Was Playing. At notre dame

1375
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: you see him making a lot of tackles in, the

1376
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: run game not only up, in the box like coming

1377
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 1: up as a blitzer, off the edge but also coming

1378
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: up from the second deep in the secondary making places.

1379
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 2: Of the line magnet.

1380
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: To, the football yeah, he finds it which always gives,

1381
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 1: you the idea particularly when he comes, from the secondary

1382
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: that he sees it way. Before it happens, he recognizes it,

1383
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: that he, plays you know, between his ears and that's

1384
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: what that. Safety spot, is so yeah He is an

1385
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: he's a really really. Good safety prospect And if the

1386
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: bills get to the play point where they're looking for

1387
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: a guy and you know one of the like the

1388
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the defensive end and the, defensive tackler

1389
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: gone all that safety is that this IS a guy

1390
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: i think that would really Compete to start day One.

1391
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:16,919
Speaker 1: For the bills he's got that kind of. Anticipation in athleticism.

1392
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 2: Everybody has Been Talking, about shamar stewart the defensive Lineman

1393
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 2: OUT of TEXAS a and m who's projected to go

1394
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 2: somewhere in. The first round has these incredible traits but

1395
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,480
Speaker 2: only had four and a half sacks in. His, collegiate

1396
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 2: career well there was a defensive lineman lining up next

1397
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 2: To HIM on Texas a. And m's roster he's. A

1398
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 2: Defensive tackle chamar, turner six' three two hundred and ninety

1399
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: pounds had ten, sacks in His CAREER second team all sec,

1400
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 2: in Twenty twenty three and turner is fun to watch

1401
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 2: his first step quickness and packs a lot of. Power

1402
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 2: in his punch turner has violent hands and a violent

1403
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 2: rip move with the way he gets. OFF of his

1404
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 2: blocks a high effort type of player who you. Want

1405
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 2: on your roster he's going to find a way to

1406
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 2: get a round blockers when. A play is extended scratch

1407
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 2: clawbite type of effort. Shows up on tape turner also

1408
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 2: offers flexibility to a defense because he Lined UP all

1409
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 2: over texas a, and m's defensive front but mostly. Played

1410
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 2: a three tech these are the type of traits that

1411
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,759
Speaker 2: you want out. Of a defensive tackle playing the defensive

1412
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 2: tackle position. Is hard to, do it's. Not easy it

1413
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 2: hurts but this is a guy who has the effort

1414
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 2: and the aggressiveness in his play style and OFFERS you

1415
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 2: flexibility that i think COULD help at an nfl level

1416
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 2: with The way that the bills. Rotate, their defensive, Line yeah.

1417
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: And exactly i'd have a hard time getting this guy

1418
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,799
Speaker 1: at number thirty because he's a little undersized. For a defensive,

1419
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: tackle he's you know, Under three hundred pounds but, depending

1420
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: on his versatility how he, handles the personal interviews that

1421
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 1: kind of stuff he's definitely a good enough athlete TO play. At,

1422
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: the nfl level now he may be a defensive end.

1423
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Type in the pros he.

1424
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,480
Speaker 2: Started there when he moved. To the tackle position.

1425
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: And if you find out because You TALK to THE

1426
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: texas A and. Mp and i haven't but if You

1427
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: FIND call THE texas a and m people, and he,

1428
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: say why you know why was? He playing, down inside

1429
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 1: they say because. We needed, him to you know. We

1430
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: didn't have anybody he was better than any of the.

1431
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Bigger guys we. Had he handled. It so that's different

1432
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: if you move down because the, team needs. You to

1433
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: that's awesome if you move down because you can't play

1434
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: outside and you, can only. Play inside that's different so

1435
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: there's different reasons why he wasn't playing. Maybe at the

1436
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: end and if you can, find that stuff out it

1437
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: helps you evaluate him, because at six three two ninety

1438
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: he's built to play. Outside at, this level but man

1439
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: HE'S an athlete AND i like what i see and

1440
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: like he gets after the run just as much as

1441
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: he tries. To rush the passer he's. Really Good at

1442
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: it i'm, i'm taking you're right he's going to Be

1443

Speaker 1: a player that it's like. A, third round projection yeah

1444
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be a player that's in the rotation

1445
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: and even make a handful of. Plays during, the year, You.

Speaker 5: WITH the predraft work maddie i think in, Terms of

1558
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 5: an Ideal scenario i'd. LIKE what steve typically says i

1559
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 5: can't Go, wrong with drafting the. BIGS especially in round

1560
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:36,679
Speaker 5: one i Think There's Enough cornerback Talent morrison jacob parrish

1561
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 5: that i'd. Be very happy with that in round two

1562
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 5: if they Go with a couple of bigs with. Their

1563
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 5: other two high picks and then we're two. Quick questions

1564
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 5: For you guys if the bills were going, to only

1565
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 5: draft one receiver do you think they'd be More likely

1566
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:57,919
Speaker 5: to draft the speedzer Or More of a. Mccollins special

1567
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 5: teams type player and with, regards to third tight end

1568
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 5: do you think they Would Be interested in, a LEAs

1569
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 5: smith type guy a big guy that would allow more

1570
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 5: flexibility instead, of going sixth offensive lineman more of a.

1571
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 5: Hybrid blocker and, Receiving threat thank.

1572
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 1: You question thank, good, question, first of all yeah yeah

1573
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: once you go down to the draft for a wide,

1574
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: out mccollins or you know one of those guys that's

1575
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: a special, teams guy or whatever. IT'S it's going to

1576
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: be i don't know that they'll get too far down

1577
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: in the weeds about which kind of guy he is

1578
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: as more much as he's going to play in the,

1579
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: league for a long time and we'll use him, the

1580
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: way he's best at whether it's a speedster or whether

1581
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 1: it's a big body dude who can. BLOCK in the

1582
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: run game i don't think they'll go into the week when

1583
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: they get in, the fourth and, fifth round they'll just

1584
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 1: say this guy is going to play for A. Long

1585
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: time in the nfl we're going to take him more so. Than,

1586
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be well, he'll be, in the league

1587
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: for sure but this guy kind of does more of

1588
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 1: what we want him to. DO or what we need i.

1589
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: DON'T think that'll be it i think they'll take the

1590
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: player who's gonna play the best AND the longest in

1591
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: the nfl at whatever role, he is at. WIDE out

1592
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: third tight end. I see What You, mean you Got Dawson.

1593
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 1: Knox you got dalton. Kincaid those two guys are knox

1594
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: is A little. More gritty than kincaid is but the

1595
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 1: next guys that you want. A different guy than that

1596
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: I could see that. AND i'd listen to it i

1597
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: don't think you need a draft one unless there's a

1598
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: one who's. Really really good at it you can get

1599
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: those guys in free agency and pay. Them about, the

1600
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: SAME money you. KNOW they're i don't know, i don't

1601
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: want to simplify. But it's like A front. They're a,

1602
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: frustrated o lineman you know they're. That kind of tight

1603
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: end so you can get those guys. And, They'll be

1604
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: Out there yeah. I'm and i'm with you at. The

1605
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: top of the draft get the, guys that are. Genetically different,

1606
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: because they're rare they're rare.

1607
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 2: And if the teams that we play against it and

1608
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 2: the playoffs get the, Players who are genetically different i'm. Gonna,

1609
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 2: BE huffing And Puffing okay i know brandon bean is

1610
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 2: going to do a, great JOB in this draft and

1611
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 2: i can't wait to see who he decides Is the

1612
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 2: right pick. For buffalo at number thirty but it's always

1613
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 2: when you see some gifted players go to teams you,

1614
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 2: know you're, gonna play, against it's like oh man that's.

1615
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Gonna be, a hard matchup all right let's go back

1616
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 2: To the Phone. Lines, To, Rick, In, California Hey, rick hey.

1617
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 4: Maddie hey steve thank you so.

1618
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 2: Much.

1619
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 4: For, Taking my call sure yeah so, In my ideal,

1620
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,520
Speaker 4: Scenario here i'll be honest i'm gonna be highly disappointed

1621
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 4: if we take. Any offensive DRAFTS tomorrow night the reason

1622
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 4: i say that is we know that the offense is

1623
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 4: good and. That old saying. Is true it's not broke don't.

1624
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 2: Fix it.

1625
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 4: Right right now we're good we need this little help

1626
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 4: on the. Defensive side of the ball, so my ideal

1627
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 4: scenario is, we need two edge, rushers we need two,

1628
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 4: tackles we need two safeties we. Need two corners at

1629
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 4: least everything. Else could be depth pieces i'm, Not too

1630
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 4: worried about that but anybody that we need for the

1631
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 4: offensive side. OF the Ball At all I believe brandon

1632
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 4: bean and sean McDermott will know, that come final cut

1633
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 4: day we could have our pick of the litter around

1634
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 4: the league of who we think could help us right

1635
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 4: then and there on the offensive side of the. Ball

1636
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 4: should we need, it so that being said if we

1637
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 4: don't concentrate everything tomorrow on the, defensive SIDE of the

1638
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 4: ball then i think we're going to be having a

1639
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 4: more of an uphill battle as it. Comes to the

1640
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 4: depth pieces so just take care of. THE line first

1641
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 4: and foremost i hope they get, three edges and three

1642
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 4: tackles tell you. The truth of my. Opinion THAT would

1643
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 4: be great but i. Want every all ten picks if,

1644
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 4: we have all ten picks everything on the defensive side of,

1645
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 4: the ball and for offense wait until the cut down

1646
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 4: day and then take their pick of the litter whoever

1647
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 4: could help. Us with the best price?

1648
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: What do? You guys, think all right We yeah it's

1649
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: easy to that's what.

1650
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 2: The mock drafters are, saying You get that. Defense, so

1651
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 2: i'm with.

1652
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: YOU yeah nobody's gonna complain i think it'll be it'll.

1653
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: Be rare if that happens obviously a lot of these

1654
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: don't do it because you get down to the bottom

1655
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: of the draft and this. Guy guys, ARE sitting there it's,

1656
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: like i don't you know we already got two of.

1657
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Them or one of. Them let's not get another. But

1658
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 1: they've Done It before they took kyrie elam in the

1659
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: first thinking he was going to, be a really Good

1660
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 1: Player and they took. Christian benford in. The sixth they'll

1661
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 1: do it and they might take some of these defensive

1662
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: linemen in the fifth, and sixth round as well or

1663
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: wherever they are at the bottom of the at. The bottom,

1664
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 1: of their, picks so that's. YOU know perfectly a possibility i.

1665
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: Don't think there's any question you gotta think that they're,

1666
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 1: going to be leaning. Defense PARTICULARLY at the top and

1667
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 1: i wouldn't surprise me if they got, the, first three

1668
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: picks thirtieth. Fifty sixth and sixty second if, indeed they

1669
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: do pick those that would all three. Of, those would

1670
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: be defenders.

1671
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 2: Now if there's just a wide receiver or an offensive

1672
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,720
