18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: to him if you see him. I, on the other hand,

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: am not the hoops junkie that Brownie Brownie is. He's

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: a hoops junkie. He's a big Saint John's fan because

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: he's a Long Island kid, you know. So anyway, So, I,

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: on the other hand, have not watched a single solitary

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: moment of college basketball all season at all ever not.

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even remember a highlight that. I

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: can't name a single player. I don't know who's good.

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: I know nothing except I looked at the bracket and

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: here it is. Let's go. We were up.

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: This is how all of this started. We were up

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: at lunch, eating lunch, and we talked with our good

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 4: friend Brandon.

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Branda Being comes by and we were.

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: Talking, you know, are you going to the games? You know,

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: who do you got? And then Steve goes, I haven't

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: watched any college basketball this year. I don't have a

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: dog in the fights. And so then Being and I

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: we both have Arizona winning, winning at all, and Taskers

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: like I don't have a bracket. So I'm like, we

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: have to here we go. I'm gonna do a bracket

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: air live. Now. I know games are like beginning and starting.

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: In a minute, but it's okay. They're gonna start in

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes. They tip it off at one.

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: Thirty, right one thirty in Buffalo, all right, So so

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: we're gonna go to bracket and do Steve Tasker's bracket

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: live on air. He filled out the first round to

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 4: get it started.

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I have not seen a single solid I have nothing

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: but history to guide me. And I'm I'm an old dude,

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: so I know things, but I have not seen anything

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: anybody play. I don't know who's good. I don't know

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: who's having it down yere, I don't know. You know

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: all the blue blood's and college I know all those,

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they're any good.

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: This year, I filled out two brackets. I've got Arizona

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: winning in both my brackets I tried and one the

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 4: other I really didn't try. And are you going off

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: of vibes or do you want do you want some help?

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Because there's I'll take them once I get deep. All

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: takes them out. Okay, first round, I can do it.

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: In the first round.

60
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: Games tipped off at twelve fifteen. To see you in

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: Ohio State is currently happening right now.

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: Well, I've already picked that.

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: Troy Nebraska is going on, and then the next game.

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I have picked in the in the coming up on

65
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: the air, in that like literally the five between Duffer

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: and Marty's last break and the top of the hour,

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: so the last ten minutes I have filled out the

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: first round without even knowing anything. So it's totally totally

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, okay, free of any Okay, I thought I

70
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: didn't even know games kicked off at twelve feet.

71
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: I thought, it's okay, the games aren't over yet. The

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: games aren't over right.

73
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: So here we go.

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: We're going We're going with the East first.

75
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: East first, and you start with the number one seed

76
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: to do all right, I've got this just in I

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't really. The only time I really have questions is

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: when an eight meets a nine. Yeah, everything else. I

79
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: took the favorite in every single game around the first

80
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: round because I have seen it when I was growing

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: up back in margyr and it wasn't that long ago.

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: The fun part of March Madness was the upsets. It

83
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: was Valpraiso beaten, Valpraiso, Valpraiso winning against whoever it was

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: they beat in the.

85
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: North Carolina Arizona got upset.

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: That was the fun part. That to me now is

87
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: a dinosaur. I think because of Nil and because of

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: the distillation process of talent recruiting money the whole thing.

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I think, good players go to the better schools and

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: it filters down through the ranks. So there's really I

91
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: don't think there's much much room for upsets like there

92
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: used to be.

93
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: I'm buying.

94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: Plus it makes it easy because I don't know anything

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 1: about anybody, So I'm just I took the higher seed

96
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: in every first round game. I got Duke over Siena.

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: I got Ohio State over TCU, which is an eight

98
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: over a nine, which is, you know, it's tough. Then

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: I got Saint John's over Northern Iowa. By the way,

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: I got recruited by Northern Iowa back in the day.

101
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: All right, So I got Kansas over cal Baptist. I

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: got Louisville over South Florida, Michigan State over North Dakota State,

103
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: U c l A over UCF, Yukon over Furman. Those

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: are all to me, that's easy, with the exception of

105
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State TCU. But I took Ohio State because they

106
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: were I trusted the committee.

107
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: What can I say, you trusted the eighth seed.

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: I trusted the committee and they're in their seedings.

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: Ohio State's a big name too.

110
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: That's right, and that's yeah the big I'm a big

111
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: ten guy. I mean I went, well, I am a

112
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: big ten guy because I went to Northwestern and they're

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: in the Big ten. True. Most of the time. They're

114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: really good at sports at Northwestern outside of the sports

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: you hear about outside of football and basketball. So that's

116
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: that's what's going. And this is, by the way, this

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: is obviously for entertainment purposes only because I don't I

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: don't have any dog in this fight. TCU is beating

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State thirty nine to twenty four at the half.

120
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I'm already out.

121
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 4: Okay, let's move to the west or the south.

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Let's go south, the south or do you want.

123
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: To complete the east?

124
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: No, I don't do No, let's go around the first

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: round first. Let's go all the way through the first

126
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: round first. All right, here we go, because these games

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: are gonna happen here pretty quick. All right, from the

128
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: east going. I'm sorry the south bracket. The number one

129
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: seed is Florida. I took them over Pray View A

130
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: and M. Even though I've seen Prairie View A and

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: M over the years in this tournament. No, but I've

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: heard that that name has been in this tournament seemingly

133
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: every year for decades. So it was no, it wasn't

134
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: just a wave of the pen, although it's a wave

135
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: of the pen. Florida is gonna beat him? Uh, Clemson

136
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: over Iowa. Tough for me to do that because of

137
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: the Big ten thing. But Clemson was a higher seed.

138
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm staying disciplined.

139
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: Clemson's inn eight, Iowa was a nine.

140
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: Right. So then then I took Vanderbilt over McNeese State.

141
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: I took Nebraska. I'm also I also grew up in

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: listen to this, mad girl. I grew up in the

143
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: middle of Big eight country. Do you know what Big

144
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: eight is?

145
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: Enlightened me?

146
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: It used to be. It's what the Big twelve used

147
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, it was eight schools Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa State, Kansas,

148
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Who was it? Who is the other Colorado? No,

149
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't Yeah, Colorado or Colorado State. I think it

150
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: was called miss Missouri, Colorado and somebody else. There you go,

151
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: that's that's that's why I picked Nebraska back in the

152
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: old days that that used to be in the Big Eight.

153
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Then I took, of course U n C over VCU.

154
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: I took Illinois, I took Saint Mary's over Texas A

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: and M. And I took Houston over Idaho. So there

156
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: you go.

157
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,240

177
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: You can see the bracket on the on the screen.

178
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Although that's my my handwriting on the side, so beautiful. Yeah,

179
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: he is legible.

180
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: All right, Okay, So now we're going second round the East.

181
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: So you got you got Duke versus Ohio State.

182
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: Duke's gonna move on.

00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: Duke's gonna move on the one see, and.

184
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure I get this in written in ink.

185
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: So Duke's gonna move on. Then you got all right?

186
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: So here it is Kansas is kind of my team.

Speaker 4: Saint John's over Kansas.

188
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: I grew over, I grew up and my wife is

Speaker 1: a Kansas Alumo missoo, I'm taking Kansas, yuck.

190
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: I took Saint John's.

191
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: That's the first time I have gone against the seeding. No,

192
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: it isn't Kansas. There you go, I'm on it. It's

193
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm staying disciplined.

194
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: Okay.

195
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: I decided, Uh Louisville, Bueville, Michigan State, Michigan State. Am

196
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: I looking at here? What I think?

197
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: Uh? You got a six versus a three? Give me

198
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: the three Michigan Michigan State's winning Michigan State. Then we

199
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: got u c LA over Yukon.

200
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: A couple of those are Yukon's are two seeds. They're

201
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna go on, They're gonna move on Yukon. Florida is

202
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna take Clemson.

203
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 4: I must have accidentally picked furman On in the first

204
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: round against Yukon. You do, and it's locked in already.

205
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: That's on you, that's on me.

206
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 4: Okay. So you have you have Yukon moving on against UCLA.

207
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Right, and then I've got Florida over Clemson, and I'm

208
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: gonna take go against my big twelve reason go Vandy, Okay.

209
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: Vandy over Nebraska. So you're choosing a five over four.

210
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeap, and I'm gonna take and I'm gonna take.

211
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 4: North Carolina against Illinois. Okay, So you're choosing a six

212
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 4: over three?

213
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Am I really you are, sir? I don't know anything

214
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: about this bracket today.

215
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 4: Okay, Well hold on. When you get in a little

216
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 4: tiff and you.

217
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Don't know, well, I just thought I didn't realize we

218
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: were down in that kind of seeding. I kind of

219
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: let me hit you with I kind of ignored the

220
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: seating there for a hot man.

221
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

222
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: There's something called the trapezoid of excellence that I like

223
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: to use when I'm struggling, and so it shows you

224
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: the pace of play and a net rating, and it's

225
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: adjusted for the opponent. So it's a good way to

226
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: see how fast teams play and how successful they are.

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: And there's a trapezoid of excellence, which means you are

228
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: one of the best teams in the NC DOUBLEA, and

229
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: so in the Trapezoid of Excellence this year Duke, Iowa State, Gonzaga, Arizona,

230
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: and Michigan. And then you can see all these teams

231
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: scattered about this graph. You can look it up on

232
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: Twitter or on x if you're listening right now. Ryan

233
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: Hammer is the guy who does it. I like to

234
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: see it because you can see the teams that play

235
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 4: really really fast, and some of these fast teams that

236
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: really push pace a play, can sometimes dictate what happens

237
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: in a game. For example, we have Georgia playing against

238
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 4: Saint Louis and eight versus a nine seed in Buffalo

239
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: later tonight, and both teams play really fast. Saint Louis

240
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: is a little bit more efficient, but Georgia is one

241
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 4: of the fastest teams in the NC DOUBLEA this year,

242
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 4: right next to Alabama, the fastest paced team. So that's

243
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: kind of how I like to weigh my decisions, is

244
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: by looking at the trapazoid of excellence.

245
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: That sounds really it is.

246
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: Hard to locate the teams on the trapezoid of excellence

247
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 4: because sometimes there's like five logos on top of each other. Right,

248
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: But that's what I used. And then there's also something

249
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: called the Ken Palm rankings, and those are a measure

250
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency ratings, and historically those teams

251
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: have pretty much had deep runs in March Madness. It's

252
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: not it's not all true, but it kind of shows

253
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 4: you what teams are really good offensively and defensively. How

254
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: that measures out. I'm just helping you, Okay, all right,

255
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 4: but you said you're gonna choose North Carolina over Illinois.

256
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: It's six over three.

257
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: I am, and I'm taking Also, I'm taking Saint Mary's

258
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: over Texas A and oh no, I'm sorry, Houston. I'm

259
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: taking Houston over Saint Mary's. Okay, in the second round,

260
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: so all these teams.

261
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: Taking a two over seven, All right, we're bouncing.

262
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: We're going to go to the west the West. Arizona

263
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: will advance over Villanova, I will I'll take Wisconsin. Well, no,

264
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I'll take.

265
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: Wisconsin against Arkansas. I think that's good choice. That's a

266
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: four over five. Ye Arkansas is pretty good. They're they're

267
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: a faster team too.

268
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: And I think Gonzaga is gonna beat my pick. So

269
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go.

270
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: Gonzo Gonzo over three over six.

271
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm taking Purdue over Miami.

272
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: Produce a slower team, but they got some bigs.

273
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna Yeah, I see it.

274
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: They always have it.

275
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: They're just outside the trapezoid of excellence.

276
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: Look at you? So all right then, all turning him

277
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: into a basketball fan, moves on Midwest bracket.

278
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: In the Midwest against against Georgia, they okay, yep. And

279
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: then Texas Le's see what is it?

280
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: You have Texas against Alabama. Alabama's a four, Texas Tech

281
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: is a five.

282
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: That's tough one.

283
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: Alabama is the fastest paced team in the n C

284
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: Double A. Where that on the trapezoid, you see it

285
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: all the way in the corner over here, Yeah, over there,

286
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 4: Texas Tech will have a plan for that, though. Texas

287
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: Tech is is in the middle in terms of pace

288
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: and they're about the same efficiency.

289
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it that.

290
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: I chose Alabama because I think Alabama.

291
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: What if Texas Tech walks them down?

292
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: That could happen. Then you've got to go into the

293
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: Ken Palms ringk you like that.

294
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm going Texas Tech.

295
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: You're just a five over four.

296
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: They strike me as a disciplined team from a million

297
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: miles away. I'm not knowing anything about anything. That's what

298
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. All right, Virginia is gonna beat Tennessee.

299
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: All right, shot to the heart over here.

300
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then uh, Iowa State, Well, Iowa State over Kentucky. Yeah,

301
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Kentucky's a seven.

302
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: That's Iowa States in the Trapezoid of excellence.

303
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: All right, we may stick with Iowa State for a minute.

304
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: There we go. All right, all right, we're down to

305
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen.

306
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: Bounce back to the East.

307
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Now we're going to go to the East and the

308
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Elite eight. Duke got Duke over Kansas.

309
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: Kansas. Duke's considered one of the best teams. It's like

310
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 4: Duke in Arizona this year.

311
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Are the two teams they are very good on the

312
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: trapezoid of excellence. Tell them I'm going to take Duke

313
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,080

Speaker 1: Danny Manning was winning the national championship with Larry Brown

317
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: as their coach. There was the day man that was

318
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,960

352
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: Duke is by itself. I'll take Duke because of the

353
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: Trapezoid of excellence.

354
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so glad I turned you onto the trap.

355
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: And then Florida Houston, Houston, the two seed, Florida the one,

356
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: all right, Houston, Slida, Florida playing down down.

357
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: Okay, down there, Florida's just outside of the trapzoid of excellent.

358
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 4: And then Houston, Houston, I honestly can't find them. Oh

359
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 4: I see them.

360
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: Where are they? They?

361
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: They're over here, they're looking. They're the same line. But

362
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: Florida's way faster paced. And if you're looking at ten palms,

363
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 4: Florida is ranked fourth and Houston is ranked fifth, They're

364
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: gonna have a.

365
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: Great it's gonna be a barn burner.

366
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: Florida averages one hundred and twenty five offensive ragning is

367
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: one twenty five point five for Florida. For Houston, it's

368
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: like a point less at one twenty four point eight.

369
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: This is offensive efficiency rating and their defensive efficiency rating

370
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: is about the same too much.

371
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: So here's what you have to do. Now, here's what

372
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: you have to do. Take it. Take it from an

373
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: experience bracketologist who's never done anything and hasn't watched it down,

374
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: watched it, washed it down. I haven't watched it down

375
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: of basketball, no extra points nothing. Okay, Uh, Houston came

376
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: through Saint Mary's and u n C. Florida came through

377
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: Vandy and Clemson. I'm gonna take Florida going with the

378
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: one seed because of the trip they had to go through.

379
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: All right, so I've got Duke in Florida coming out

380
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: of the East, South, the West.

381
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 4: The West, Purdue Arizona.

382
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: Side, Arizona is. Oh, they're pretty good. They're inside the

383
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: trapezoid of excellence. Arizona advances.

384
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: Yep. They're considered one of the teams who could win

385
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 4: it all.

386
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Michigan and Ohio State for

387
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: the final spot in the final four.

388
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 4: Michigan and Ohio.

389
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: No not Iowa Iowa State. I'm sorry, whoa scar tissue?

390
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Iowa State?

391
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 4: Iowa State A one versus A two.

392
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: Again, Michigan's up in oh and they're both in the

393
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: trapezoid of excellence.

394
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: Yep, could be a really really good game.

395
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: Michigan is faster and more efficient. Barely, I'm gonna take Michigan.

396
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate that I'm doing that. But

397
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: then again, my experience tells me that, Yeah, I don't

398
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: want to get in I don't want to get into politics.

399
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: But my big ten tells me if Michigan wants to

400
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: win it, they'll just cheat and win it like they

401
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: did for football a few years ago. Wow, right with

402
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: that whole thing.

403
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 4: It's a hot take.

404
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's spillage over into the basketball.

405
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: Is that Michigan's in Buffalo though riding with the Buffalo team,

406
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: Michigan's playing in Buffalo.

407
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: Let's go yeah, I'm all about it. So it's Arizona, Michigan,

408
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: Florida Duke.

409
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 4: Okay, final full.

410
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I'll take Arizona over Michigan.

411
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: Okay, I like that. And then you've got Duke in Florida.

412
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: I just miss I was almost root the wrong thing,

413
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: all right, and Florida Duke. I'm taking Florida. I think

414
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be a new, a new down.

415
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: Wow, my my sec vibes could not like.

416
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: I think the winner. I think the winner will be Duke.

417
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: No, it's Florida Arizona Florida.

418
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Against Arizona, Florida, Arizona. One of them begins with an A,

419
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: the other ends.

420
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: With an A.

421
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 4: The Arizona also ends with an A.

422
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Arizona. That's it. The two a's in Arizona.

423
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 4: I'm taking Arizona A A plus that.

424
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: And I'll put a plus before Arizona and I'll put

425
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: a plus after.

426
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 4: And if you ask Tasker, why did you choose Arizona,

427
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 4: he will tell you because it has two a's. There

428
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: we go, make it makes sense.

429
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: Mark it down. I'm already losing on my first round

430
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State pick. But there you go.

431
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: That's a live cracket from Steve Tasker.

432
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put that. I'll put this down. And the

433
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: Trapezoid of excellence came in handy, you know, came in handy.

434
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: I like to help when I can't call my experience.

435
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: Also with how this tournament has gone in the past,

436
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: I really believe that though the ni L has taken

437
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: the Cinderella stories out of the NCAA tournament.

438
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when you're doing a bracket, it's harder. I

439
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 4: don't it's hard for me to pick upsets. I mean

440
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 4: you you you kind of root for it. You root

441
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 4: for the Cinderella story. You root for an upset early on.

442
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,239
Speaker 4: And it's fun to watch a team who shouldn't win

443
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: win a couple of games.

444
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: That's how Butler got on the map. In basketball, they

445
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: had years ago, and I'm I'm man, I'm delving into

446
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: something I only remember. I don't know anything. They they

447
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: had guys on their team that had played together all

448
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: four years they had senior upperclassmen, and all the other

449
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: schools were those you know, one and done's, and they

450
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: had some freshman's and a lot of sophomores playing and

451
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: not a and then and Butler got all the way

452
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: to the final four and the whole thing because they

453
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: were a group of guys who were better than the

454
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: some of their parts, and they'd played together for four

455
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: years and they kind of hung together, you know that

456
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And it worked. It worked, so Butler's

457
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Butler gets on the map.

458
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: Team work.

459
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it was great. We went. Yeah, and I've

460
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: been to a I've been to a game in but

461
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: a couple of games in Butler Fielding. Yes, really cool,

462
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: really joint.

463
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: I considered Butler as a school early and a lot

464
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: of people from Chicago that went.

465
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: To be oh yeah yeah. So down in Indianapolis is

466
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: not too far from Chicago.

467
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: If you are heading to the March Madness games in

468
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,920

00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: Tip Yeah, it's kind of tip into like ten minutes.

471
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: We're mixing basketball and football terms because that's how our brains.

472
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna getting minutes.

473
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 4: Tip off is said for ten minutes. So at one

474
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: thirty you got eleventh ranked, eleventh seeded South Florida taken

475
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 4: on the sixth seed Louisville. And then at four oh five,

476
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: rounding out the first session, North Dakota State fourteen seed

477
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: against third seed Michigan State, and kicking it off tonight

478
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 4: in the second session at seven ten, you got sixteen

479
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 4: seeded Howard against the number one seed Michigan and the

480
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: late night game. Everybody the night cap, who's gonna stay

481
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 4: up late for this one? Kudos to you. I'll be

482
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 4: in bed. Uh Saint Louis number nine seed taken on

483
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 4: eight seeded Georgia. That will be a pretty good game,

484
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 4: I think. Uh. So, the winners of Howard Michigan will

485
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: play the winners of the Saint Louis and Georgia game

486
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 4: on the midwest side of the bracket, and the winners

487
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: of the US and Louisville game will play against the

488
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: winners of the North Dakota State and Michigan State game

489
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 4: on the east side of the bracket. And the Bills

490
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: have a little bit of a tie here to Michigan

491
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: because Joe Brady and Brandon Bean stopped by Michigan's practice

492
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 4: on Wednesday afternoon, so the Bills are giving them some

493
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 4: good vibes as Michigan begins their dance in the tournament tonight.

494
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 4: At seven ten. Michigan went thirty one in three during

495
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 4: the season. May is their head coach. He's in his

496
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: second season with the team. They're known for having an

497
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 4: aggressive defense, good size and depth off the charts if

498
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 4: you want to go into March. Depth is something that

499
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: you gotta have and you gotta be successful with. They

500
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: have a big on their team, a die Mara is

501
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: their big seven to three, a junior from Spain. What

502
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 4: would you do if you were seven.

503
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: Three play basketball?

504
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 4: You'd play basketball, that's the easy answer.

505
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeh, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't be a tight end in

506
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: the NFL, that's for sure. May a kick blocker maybe,

507
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: but seven three.

508
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: That story came out a couple maybe a week ago.

509
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 4: The Colts are signing a former basketball player to try

510
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 4: and turn him into a tight end.

511
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: There's some guys out there who have done it. H

512
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: There's some guys out there have done it, some guys

513
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame who've done it.

514
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: So now we've had this discussion before and just sports

515
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: fans have what's the harder transition football into basketball? Basketball?

516
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: In football, they're both very difficult both for it. You

517
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: can't I'm a football guy, and I'd never poop poo

518
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: what hoops asks you to do. Physically, Certainly, football are different,

519
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: and they're completely different animals. If you've got the body

520
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: type to play, it comes more down to you how

521
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: intelligent you are to make that transition. You've got to

522
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: really understand beyond what you can be taught how to compete.

523
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: I think some for some, it's different for every guy.

524
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way you can generalize it. Some

525
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: guys shy away from the physicality of football, particularly if

526
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: they move to the defensive side of the ball, where

527
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: they've got to come up and take a guy down

528
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: when he's when he's trying not to be taken down.

529
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: Some guys don't can't get that mindset of aggression and physicality,

530
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: and certainly a lot of guys don't like getting hit

531
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: the way they are in it's football. In basketball, it

532
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: is such a skill a skill game. I mean, it's

533
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: having a handle on the ball.

534
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 4: Shooting, being tired for the entire game.

535
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: Playing on both playing on both sides of the ball,

536
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: constant motion, constant on the floor, constant ball in play

537
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: instead of a you know, a six second play, drop

538
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: back to the huddle, take a rest. You know, it's

539
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: not anaerobic. It's aerobic. I don't know. I think, I think.

540
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: And also this, if you go to an NBA game,

541
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: we talk about one percenters a lot in football. In

542
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: the NBA, it's a tenth. It's like one percent. It's

543
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: one percent of the one percent. It's the one percent. Yeah,

544
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: it's like the one hundredth of a percent of guys

545
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: that are in the envy.

546
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 5: It is.

547
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: The distillation process to get into the NBA is staggering, staggering.

548
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: The guys on the thirteenth guy on the bench is

549
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: better than any basketball player you have ever known. They're unbelievable.

550
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: It really is. The distillation process for getting onto an

551
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: NBA roster is incredibly, incredibly taxing. You got to be

552
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: physically gifted enough to do it, committed enough to get there,

553
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: skilled enough, and accomplished enough. It's amazing. So I would

554
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: say it's probably harder to get into the NBA than

555
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: it is the NFL because there are so many different

556
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: ways and at different types of athletes. You can be

557
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: to get in the NFL.

558
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, all different body types. We'll SAME's football.

598
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: free agency. It's died down a little bit, but there's

599
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: still moves happening, still transactions.

600
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah going on. There's still guys out there. I think

601
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: I think the number you know, they're guys are still

602
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: holding out for like four or five million bucks a

603
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: year or something like that on it. But it's not

604
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Then it's gonna start dropping down. You're gonna

605
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: get the veteran minimum or you're not gonna.

606
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: Be working a lot of the people who are going

607
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 4: to earn top dollar next season already.

608
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're done said and done for.

609
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, already spoken for, I should say. But a former

610
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: Bill has found a new home. As we go round

611
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 4: the NFL defensive end, aj Epeness is signing a one

612
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: year deal with the Browns. According to Adam Schefter, it's

613
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: worth up to five million dollars now. Epanessa started his

614
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 4: career with the Bills, spent six years in Buffalo. Was

615
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 4: drafted in the second round of the twenty twenty NFL drafts.

616
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 4: So think back to the COVID years. Epanessa played in

617
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: ninety one games, started in nineteen registered twenty four sacks,

618
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: twenty nine TFLs, fifty three quarterback hits, four interceptions. That

619
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: was Epinessa's calling card was getting his hands up in

620
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: the passing lane, knocking balls down. Twenty one passes defense,

621
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: twenty one pass breakups is what a defensive lineman had.

622
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 4: He was talented at doing so, and then came down

623
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: with four of those and scored one touchdown in his

624
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 4: career with the Bills. Also had five horus fumbles.

625
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: That was an amazing he was. He did that a

626
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: couple of times. Almost went the pick six there we

627
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: were just watching again. He picked off Andy Dalton. This

628
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: is the one against Joe Burry where he knocked it

629
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: down and then or it was knocked down by Dion

630
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Walker and he came in and picked it up, uh,

631
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: intercepted it. He also did it back in maybe maybe

632
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty when he picked off the guy in

633
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: Washington and I can't remember who the quarterback was even

634
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: and took it in for a touchdown as well. I mean,

635
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: aj he's tall and long and that's one of the

636
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, one of the traits the Bills looked for

637
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know with Rousseau and AJ and those guys,

638
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: they had some link on the edges. And of course

639
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: you know now they got Dion Walker down inside, who's

640
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: even taller and longer. So it's one of the things

641
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: they've always looked for in defensive lineman. And AJ that

642
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: was kind of the thing you remember him for, yeah,

643
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: was baton passes down.

644
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 4: Epanessa had two interceptions the last season. I remember talking

645
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 4: to Epine after he had that second interception and saying,

646
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 4: what has gotten into you? Why is this happening so

647
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 4: often for you, so close to the line of scrimmage?

648
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 4: And Epanessa said, this is gonna sound weird, but I

649
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 4: have a funny story. Micah Hide told us we have

650
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 4: to have a nose for the football. He said, when

651
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: I think about Micah Hyde and smell, yes, smell of football,

652
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 4: that's when I've had my interceptions. Believe it if you want.

653
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 4: That's what he told me as to why he came

654
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: down with two interceptions in twenty twenty five, which I

655
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 4: think is absolutely hilarious.

656
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: That sounds like a j and Panessa as an eighty

657
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: year old telling his great grandson you have to smell

658
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: you have to smell the football.

659
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: I have a nose for the football.

660
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: It was great though, and good luck to AJ a

661
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: deal up to five man. I don't know what the

662
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: if he's got any guarantees or if it's a one year.

663
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: It is a one year deal, and obviously some of

664
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: it is incentive laden because you know it's worth up

665
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: to five million. I don't know what the base contract

666
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: is going to be, but there you have it. Yes, hey,

667
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: J laid it on the line for the clubs here

668
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: for six years.

669
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett is now on his team.

670
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: That's true. That is true, or he's on Miles Garrett teams.

671
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: The way that works. You know, he's on the team with.

672
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: Miles Ajvanessa, I'm saying, guys, he's on here.

673
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: Right, he's on Miles team. Miles isn't on his team.

674
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 4: You're right.

675
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way that goes. But yeah, good good

676
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: for him, and congratulations.

677
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 4: We'll stay with the Browns. The Browns have submitted a

678
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: new rule to the twenty twenty six club proposals. They

679
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 4: want to allow teams to trade draft picks five years

680
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 4: out instead of three. Right now, you can only trade

681
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 4: draft picks three years out. The Browns think that's not

682
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 4: enough time to do business. I want to go five

683
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 4: years out. Do you think five years out is a

684
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 4: little crazy or I mean three to me makes sense.

685
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 4: Five seems a little bit far in the future.

686
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: Well, think of what it really means. It means you get,

687
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: basically speaking, fourteen extra draft picks to trade with. But

688
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: those draft picks are highly devalued because of the distance

689
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: into the future. It gives you more chips to push

690
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: to the middle of the table now so you can

691
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: try and win. Now. I don't know, it's not I

692
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: gotta say this, I don't think it's that valuable. Yeah,

693
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: because most gms on look around, they're not there five

694
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: years from now, so you may get a lot of it.

695
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: You may get a lot of that.

696
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 4: It might not be my team in five years. So

697
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna do some business, that's right, And then

698
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 4: you would have new head coaches coming in and GM's

699
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 4: coming in. The set about the fact that you traded

700
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 4: my first round pick.

701
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: That's right, or you get you make that trade or whatever.

702
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: You make trades and you get picks, then you leave

703
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, oh yeah, all those picks

704
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: you traded fourteen years and now we're getting we have

705
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: three firsts this year, and thanks for stopping by. You're

706
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 1: you're already five? Uh yeah?

707
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: Would there be more trades if you could trade five

708
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: years in advance of draft picks? Do you think that

709
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 4: would affect how many trades happen or how how many

710
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 4: deals happen? Yeah? I think so.

711
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: More more capital to trade means means more options. I

712
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: would really be interested in seeing the value chart for

713
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: a pick five years down the road.

714
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 4: It's also really hard to project what a draft class

715
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 4: is going to look like five years out. These kids

716
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 4: aren't even entering college. Oh my gosh, I just did

717
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: that math. Yeah, you're projecting like high school players. Yeah, which, well,

718
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: here scout's watching high school tape.

719
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: Say if you got team a club and you're like

720
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: where you're where the bills are? Josh Allen going into

721
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: his ninth year, right, I think that's right. Yeah, nine,

722
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: you're nine. Five years down the road, he's going to

723
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: go into fourteen year. Fourteen. Want to start stockpiling some

724
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: first so when he's in his fourteenth year, I guess

725
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: if you have two or three ones and you can

726
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: get get a quarterback if you.

727
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 4: Flip it from thinking about your roster rather than thinking

728
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 4: about what's in that draft class in five years. That

729
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 4: makes more sense because it's easier to project your team

730
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: in five years or current players in five years, rather

731
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 4: than names.

732
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: I would love to know why Cleveland wants this in.

733
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what's their reasoning? What what is what is

734
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: holding them back?

735
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 4: They want to get their quarterback. That's why tasker.

736
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: What that doesn't have it?

737
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 4: So what they've been tried for.

738
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: A long time. They picked Johnny Manziel. They get there,

739
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: they get what they They signed Deshaun Wats and don't

740
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: they get what you deserve. You're gonna I'll give you

741
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: four first rounds. You're still going to mess it up.

742
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter how you can trade five down the future.

743
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: If you're gonna pick Johnny Manzel Yeah, dope.

744
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 4: Well, it'll be interesting to see what comes of this

745
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 4: because owners meetings are at the end of March, so

746
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: a lot of this will be talked about when owners

747
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 4: meetings happen at the end of the month. All right.

748
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 4: According to Ian Rappaport, the Vikings are adding some veteran

749
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: quarterback depth to their roster. Carson Wentz one year deal.

750
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 4: Now Wentz played with the Vikings last year, making five starts,

751
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: going two and three in those games through for six touchdowns.

752
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 4: Wentz played through a shoulder injury last season but is

753
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 4: now healthy. Twenty twenty six will mark his eleventh season.

754
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 4: Now he joins an interesting quarterback room because you have

755
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy, the young Buck, and you've got Kyler Murray.

756
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: What is gonna happen to Kyler Murray's career? How much

757
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 4: do they trust JJ McCarthy. Now, if you can remember,

758
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 4: going back to the beginning of last season, all the wait,

759
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 4: let's go two seasons ago. McCarthy missed his rookie year

760
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: due to torn meniscus H so last year was his

761
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 4: first year playing and came out of the gate on fire.

762
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 4: Cooled off. Interceptions were McCarthy's big bugaboo, eleven touchdowns to

763
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 4: twelve interceptions in ten starts. He went six and four

764
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: in those games. But you wonder about that type.

765
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: Of course JJ McCarthy, Kyler Murray, and Carson Wentz. Carson

766
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: Wentz has bounced around the league and has an an

767
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: aside from his first his rookie year when he was

768
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: in Philly, remember this, when he was in the headed

769
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: on an MVP pace that he caught fire blew as

770
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: acl And now I can't even who's the kid that

771
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: took over for him, the quarterback, the one that Super

772
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: Bowl it was?

773
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: The name is that the tip of my tongue? Ye

774
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 4: nick Foles?

775
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Nick Foles? Yeah, I couldn't remember. Nick Foles. Nick Foles

776
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: takes over for him, takes it on the Super Bowl run,

777
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: they win the Super Bowl. Carson Wentz think about this.

778
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is never heard from again. He's about he's

779
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: a total journeyman quarterback after being on pace after a

780
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: first round pick and being on pace to be an

781
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: MVP for a super Bowl winning team.

782
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he played in sixty eight games and

783
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: started in sixty eight with the Eagles.

784
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: Then and he was and so it turns out, you know,

785
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: he you know, something happened between his ears that he

786
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: can't he can't stay on a team. There. There's a

787
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: problem there, somehow, some way. Now Kyler Murray comes and

788
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: has struggled in Arizona, all the whole thing with the

789
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: clause in his contract about playing video games, his commitment,

790
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Now you're putting both those guys on

791
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: a team. Wow, Minnesota is turning in Minnesota is turning

792
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: into the Cleveland Browns.

793
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm very interested to see what happens throughout

794
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 4: the season. Where they're at week one with a quarterback

795
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 4: and where they're at week ten with a quarterback.

796
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Minnesota Vikings like I'm watching Nascar. I'm

797
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: just waiting for the crash.

798
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Either there's gonna be, they're gonna alternate.

799
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 4: We'll see you might see them all right, break time

800
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 4: for us when we return, going back around the NFL,

801
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,839

811
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 4: Walder joining the show, breaking down some of the top

812
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 4: free agency moves that have happened thus far. Talking more

813
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 4: about what's happened in the last week in free agency.

814
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 4: The Panthers are trading veteran quarterback Andy Dalton to the

815
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 4: Eagles in exchange for a twenty twenty seven seventh round pick,

816
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 4: per sources. Now, Dalton joins a quarterback room with Jalen

817
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 4: Hurst and Tanner McKee. McKee was the primary backup last

818
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 4: season for the Eagles, played in a few games. Dalton

819
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 4: will be in his sixteenth NFL season and also on

820
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 4: his sixth team. So some quarterback news as of late

821
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 4: the last few days. Justin Field's also part of that news.

822
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 4: And then yesterday we saw a couple of players announced

823
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 4: that they were retiring two players from the league. Former

824
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 4: Bengals and Cowboys linebacker Logan Wilson took to Instagram to say,

825
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 4: after a lot of thought and prayer, I've decided to

826
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 4: officially retire from the NFL. He went on to thank

827
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 4: the Bengals and Dallas and said he's excited for his

828
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 4: next chapter, saying that they'll have more time with family

829
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 4: and new fitness challenges. And then t Y Hilton, who

830
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: played ten years with the Colts and one with Dallas

831
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 4: last season, was actually in twenty twenty two. So after

832
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 4: being a free agent for the past three seasons, He'll

833
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 4: announced he's hanging up the cleats and also took to

834
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 4: social media to say, after an incredible journey, it's time

835
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 4: for me to retire from the game of football and

836
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: begin a new chapter. He think the Colts, Cowboys and

837
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 4: fans who supported him.

838
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, t Y. He's been out of football for three

839
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: years and only just now decided that's it. And I

840
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know t why. But if you're

841
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna hang out for three years and kind of keep

842
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: the door open, it's hard to let it go, man.

843
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: Some of the guys, it's hard to say you're done

844
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: playing football. And he waited three years to make the decision. Yeah,

845
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: after his last game. Three years not easy. It's hard

846
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: to let it go for some guys.

847
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 4: And Logan Wilson joins a group of players who are

848
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 4: starting to retire earlier in their NFL careers. Wilson played

849
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 4: six years in the NFL, had four straight seasons of

850
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 4: at least one hundred tackles, had seventy tackles last season,

851
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 4: played on two teams with Cincinnati and Dallas.

852
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: It's you can't I say this all the time to Brown.

853
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people kind of roll their

854
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: eyes when I say, you really can't overseell how physically

855
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: taxing the NFL is. And I know the old guys

856
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: always say it's a softer league than it used to be,

857
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: And I get some of it is softer, but it's

858
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: a different it's a different kind of physical than it

859
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: used to be. But it's still very demanding and it

860
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: still hurts to play. And these guys, some of them,

861
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: they get out there and they sign a second contract

862
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: and they see, you know, seven or maybe even eight

863
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: digits in the bank, and they say, you know what,

864
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it anymore. There's a growing

865
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: number of guys who make that decision, and bless their heart,

866
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: they if it's it's it's their decision to make. And

867
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm all for it, because it is not easy to

868
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: strap it on and go out and bang, you know,

869
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: bang heads with guys and throw your body around. So

870
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: more you you said it, Mattie, There's a growing number

871
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: of players who four years, six years, eight years. I

872
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: was drafted with a guy who played offensive line before

873
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: he ever suited up for a single game, sat down

874
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: with the coach and he said, I don't want to play. Wow,

875
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: and gave it up right then. He was a He

876
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: was a he was a mid round it was a

877
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: high first third of the draft draft pick. He said,

878
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: I just don't want to play, and that's it, and

879
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: he never played.

880
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 4: While this business is incredible and it's you know, gives

881
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 4: a lot, it also takes a lot from it.

882
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, it does. And to be okay with that, yeah,

883
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: you gotta be okay with it. And some guys get

884
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: to the point where they look at what the game

885
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: has already given them and then what more could it

886
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: possibly give me? And is it worth me going through

887
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: all this? I remember when I at the end of

888
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: my career, the hard part was getting ready to playing.

889
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: You gotta go out and train, Yeah, you gotta work hard.

890
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: And I you know, by that time, I played thirteen years.

891
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: And you get to the point where you can't even

892
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: train hard because it hurts, you know, your your body

893
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: just screams at you. I get it, man, it's hard,

894
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking, and you just don't want to put yourself

895
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: through it because it so much it's amazing. Don't ever,

896
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: don't ever undersell how much the game asks of these guys,

897
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: and so I'm I've never been one of those old

898
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: guys that's bitter about all the money these young guys make. Man,

899
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: they earn it. To me, they earn it. It's hard.

900
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 4: Guys are already back in the building three weeks weeks

901
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 4: away from when people return for workouts. So it's it's hard.

902
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 4: It's not easy, and you've got to commit a lot

903
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: to it, and you've got to be really, really diligent

904
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 4: and strict with how you live your life and the

905
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,000

00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 4: going on you into college basketball, of course.

931
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 5: I mean I'm not a huge college basketball person anymore,

932
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 5: but yeah, more than one bracket for sure. I gotta

933
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 5: gotta gotta gotta track it all.

934
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 4: Of course, who you got winning it?

935
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I hedged my bets because I don't

936
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about you, So you got you know,

937
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 5: I got a Houston one in Iowa state one. There's

938
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 5: a Gonzaga one.

939
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: There you go.

940
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 3: I like that.

941
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 4: Tasker and I both have Arizona.

942
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: I filled out. I filled out my first bracket on

943
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: the air at the start of the show today. I

944
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: have not watched a single basket of hoops all year

945
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: at all. Nothing. All I know is history, and I

946
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: filled out the bracket on the air here. So yeah,

947
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: there you go. I learned, Yeah, the trapezoid of excess.

948
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 4: That it needs to help fill out.

949
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 1: Now, so there you go. They probably win now, yeah,

950
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: that's probably seth give it. Give us an idea. What

951
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: has been your first your overall impressions this first wave

952
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: and now into the second wave and third wave of

953
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: free agency? What has struck you more than anything else

954
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: league wide?

955
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 5: What struck me is how fast it went. So I've

956
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 5: been doing this exercise over the last few years where

957
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 5: I grade every major transaction as they as they come in,

958
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 5: and I feel like in over the last few years,

959
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 5: what's happened is I'm only sort of like four or

960
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 5: five signings behind on those first couple of days. Right,

961
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 5: there's a new one comes in, Okay, I'm gonna get

962
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 5: to it, like four or five down the road Day one.

963
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 5: This was like I was in a twenty free agent

964
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 5: signing hole right off the bat, and it was fun

965
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 5: because you know, they all just kept coming in, but

966
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 5: it was it was it was really a blizzard right

967
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 5: at the start, and then even by the end of

968
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 5: week one, that Friday was kind of quiet, and then

969
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 5: we've sort of had a trade a day each each

970
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 5: day this week. But I think the speed with which

971
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 5: it happened is what took me by surprise.

972
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it's really slowed down as of the last

973
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 4: couple weeks. We got some quarterback news here or there.

974
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 4: You mentioned how fast it was. Why was it so

975
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 4: fast this season?

976
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a great question.

977
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

978
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 5: I think you know, ultimately, you've got this market and

979
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 5: everybody has a limited amount of money to spend, and

980
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 5: there's a very limited number of free agents that might

981
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 5: be needle movers for you, and so you just feel like,

982
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 5: if we're going to get this guy, this is the

983
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 5: only moment to do it. And that just pushes up

984
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:46,479
Speaker 5: the timeline every little bit every year, and so once

985
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 5: that happens, I guess it just like reached the sort

986
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 5: of fever pitch at this time.

987
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of the trades, obviously that happened early

988
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: was the DJ Moore trade, Chicago Bears trading DJ here

989
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and the Bills giving up a number two

990
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: to get it. They get a fifth back. But this

991
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: was a trade that at first glance, yeah, DJ Moore

992
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: is a good player, but I don't know if he's

993
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: a second round pick good player, at least at this

994
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: point of his career. But as this for us here

995
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and we always kind of tend to know

996
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: positive spin everything. Obviously for the Bills, but it looked

997
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: like a really expensive price tag for DJ Moore until

998
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the Dominoes started a falling thing. Well

999
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: that's about right.

1000
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 5: Well, listen, I always feel like I come on this

1001
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 5: show and I say a bunch of nice things about

1002
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 5: the Bills, and I feel I always preface that I'm

1003
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 5: not just saying that because the Bills. This is this

1004
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 5: time is the other way. I thought this was a

1005
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 5: really bad trade for Buffalo. I thought there was a

1006
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 5: substantial overpay. DJ Moore is coming off of back to

1007
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 5: back disappointing seasons. There are things you can say, maybe

1008
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams didn't get him a ton of catchable balls,

1009
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 5: the accuracy, all of that. But there's no question two

1010
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 5: years ago he signed this extension for twenty seven and

1011
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 5: a half million dollars per year. Then he had two

1012
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 5: bad years. Now Buffalo is taking that contract. It's a

1013
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 5: cash heavy deal, so they're still paying twenty two and

1014
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 5: a half per year. It's probably gonna end up being

1015
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 5: more than that, because that would only be the case

1016
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 5: to be last the whole way. They gave up a

1017
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 5: two to five swap to get that contract, and then

1018
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 5: they guaranteed. And this is the part that I honestly,

1019
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 5: I'm completely flummoxed by why they guaranteed twenty twenty eight

1020
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 5: money for him when we could be going into twenty

1021
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 5: twenty eight saying, this guy's off of four bad years

1022
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 5: in a row in the worst case scenario, and he's

1023
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 5: got guaranteed money. DJ Moore was a great receiver a

1024
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 5: few years ago. But when we look at our metrics

1025
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 5: this season, you know, this past season one point four

1026
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 5: yards per route run below average in our receive our

1027
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 5: player tracking receiver scores. I understand where Buffalo was right.

1028
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 5: They were in a bit of a tight spot. They

1029
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 5: needed receiving help, But this is an overpay is putting

1030
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 5: it really lightly.

1031
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 4: I think another player that Buffalo signed is Bradley Chubb,

1032
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 4: who will fit into Buffalo's new defense as they switched

1033
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 4: from a four to three to a three to four. Now.

1034
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 4: Chubb is quite familiar with the Bills because he was

1035
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 4: on the Miami Dolphins for the last few years. Signs

1036
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 4: a three year deal with Buffalo. What were your impressions

1037
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 4: of that deal.

1038
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 5: I thought this was a really tough, tough signing too,

1039
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 5: one of maybe one of the worst free agent signings

1040
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 5: of this group. And I like Bradley Chubb. I think

1041
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 5: he's had a really nice career, but you look at

1042
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 5: the numbers since he came back from injury, and he's

1043
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 5: just not been the same guy. Last year he was

1044
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 5: in the fourteenth percentile in past rush win rate at edge.

1045
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 5: That's the rate at which he beats his blocker within

1046
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 5: two and a half seconds. That's a metric he used

1047
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 5: to crush in. He used to be awesome in it,

1048
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 5: Like I always used to have to caveat and say it, like, hey,

1049
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 5: he's always been really good in this, Like he's always

1050
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,720
Speaker 5: outperformed as sacks in this metric, and now he didn't

1051
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 5: have that last year, and so to get the kind

1052
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 5: of money he did, I thought was really surprising to me.

1053
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 5: He got that from Buffalo and they needed an edge

1054
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 5: across from Greg Grusso not questioning that. I just couldn't

1055
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 5: believe that that was the kind of money he got

1056
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 5: after the year he had last year.

1057
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: Give us an idea as well. I mean, I went

1058
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: back your your grades of A plus deals and I

1059
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: was surprised to generalize four out of the top seven

1060
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: moves you had in free agency were offensive linemen, your

1061
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: guy after my own heart. You start with the guys

1062
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: up front and then moved down from there. But you

1063
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: really liked the way the big guys moved around up front.

1064
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: I did they.

1065
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 5: I thought they went cheap this year. So last year

1066
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 5: we had some really big money deals. The guards, like

1067
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about Aaron Banks and Will Fries went for

1068
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 5: huge money. And those were two players that our metrics

1069
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 5: didn't even really like going into last year, and they

1070
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 5: still got a ton of money. Dan Moore got that

1071
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 5: twenty million dollar deal from the Titans. So I'm going

1072
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 5: into this free agency looking at guys like David Edward

1073
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 5: from Buffalo and who I think is a really good

1074
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 5: guard and thinking, wow, he's going to get a ton

1075
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 5: of money, right or Rashid Walker, where I feel like

1076
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 5: maybe we're missing something there, but like again, top tackle

1077
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 5: on the market, he's going to get a ton of money.

1078
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 5: The money came in way lower than we would have expected,

1079
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 5: I think, And I'm not faulting Buffalo for letting Edwards go.

1080
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 5: I think they had to probably choose between McGovern and Edwards,

1081
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 5: and they got a nice deal with McGovern I think,

1082
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 5: so you can understand probably only one could stay. But yeah,

1083
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 5: those deals were Elton Jenkins, I thought, great deal for

1084
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 5: a versatile offensive lineman that can go to Cleveland who

1085
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 5: needs that versatility and hasn't been quite wasn't quite as

1086
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 5: good at center last year, still decent, but has that

1087
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 5: flexibility to play all the way from center to tackle.

1088
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 5: Those ones stood out to me, Like you said, yeah,

1089
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 5: Rashid Walker, David Edwards, there's another one I'm missing in

1090
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 5: there that I think. Oh, Branden Smith, I mean I

1091
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 5: thought was a value for being a tackle for Houston.

1092
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 5: That was a nice little, nice little move that Houston

1093
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 5: did where they got they traded Titus Howard, and I

1094
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 5: would say him and Braden Smith. Maybe they're sort of

1095
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 5: equivalent ish players. They get a pick to pay Bred,

1096
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 5: to pay Braden Smith less money. I like that little

1097
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 5: maneuver for Houston.

1098
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,959
Speaker 4: Talking about the protectors, now, the protectors are protecting quarterbacks,

1099
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 4: and you also have the quarterbacks on your A graded signings.

1100
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 4: One of them was Kyler Murray heading to the Viking

1101
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 4: Vikings and the other one you also had was Malik

1102
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 4: Willis signing with the Dolphins. What will happen in both

1103
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 4: of those quarterback rooms this year as you project with

1104
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 4: these moves.

1105
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 5: Well, I think Kyler Murray I almost certainly will be

1106
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 5: the starter in Minnesota. I mean, especially after they signed

1107
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 5: Carson Wentz. I think that tells you exactly what they

1108
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 5: think about JJ McCarthy Murray. It's just like a slam dunk.

1109
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 5: It's almost like cheating because of the offsets in the

1110
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 5: contract they get to have them for a minimum deal.

1111
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 5: No matter what you think, Kyler Murray and I tend

1112
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 5: to be pretty bullish. I usually like him a little

1113
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 5: bit more than consensus, and I know that he wasn't

1114
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 5: that great last year, but we're not that far removed

1115
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 5: from a Kyler Murray who was like a pretty good

1116
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 5: quarterback above average and QBR just two years ago, and

1117
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 5: then he's obviously got that extra gear in him. That

1118
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one season from Kyler Murray was really incredible.

1119
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 5: So I do think that Kyler Murray will be the

1120
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 5: Viking starting quarterback. And just the way that those coaches

1121
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 5: have been able to get what they've been able to

1122
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 5: get out of the players on both sides of the

1123
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 5: ball there, you got to think it makes them at

1124
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 5: least a playoff contender. Malik Willis, It's like I went

1125
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 5: into this offseason thinking I Am not going to be

1126
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 5: a Malik Willis guy. Small sample size, played for a

1127
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 5: great play caller. Yeah, he could barely get on the

1128
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 5: field and Tennessee those are just red flag after red

1129
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 5: flag for me. But then I went back and I

1130
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 5: watched that Baltimore game and watched some you know, his

1131
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 5: three starts in Bay have been unbelievable. And there's the

1132
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 5: way that he is able to i mean throw on

1133
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 5: the run, different arm angles, speed, He's he does take

1134
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 5: a lot of sacks, but he also eludes sacks. I thought, man,

1135
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 5: if you were gonna find a free a franchise quarterback

1136
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 5: and free agency, which is almost impossible to do. Wouldn't

1137
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 5: this be the scenario where it happens like a guy

1138
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 5: who is a decent prospect and then he takes time

1139
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 5: to develop and then he is a really small sample

1140
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 5: of elite success. Wouldn't this be what it looks like?

1141
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem is he may be that guy,

1142
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: but his landing spot looks to be rocky at best.

1143
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Miami is in a total rebuild, no question

1144
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: about it, and they and the structure of his contract,

1145
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: he looks like they're giving him two years. They're going

1146
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: to draft a guy next year after hopefully he plays

1147
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: brilliantly in losing efforts this year, Right, I mean want

1148
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Malik Willis to look great and lose the game, right.

1149
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a rough spot for him to

1150
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: excel in.

1151
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 5: I don't disagree at all. And it obviously got a

1152
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 5: lot harder when they dealt Jalen Wattle, and I can

1153
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 5: I think given the return they had, I can understand that,

1154
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 5: and I'm I would even be in favor of it,

1155
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 5: But there's there's no question that it makes life harder

1156
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 5: on him.

1157
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 4: Right.

1158
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 5: It's like you said, they have two objectives in twenty

1159
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 5: twenty six, find out what you have in Malik Willis,

1160
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 5: develop my week and develop Malik Willis, and then push

1161
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 5: as many resources as you can into twenty twenty seven

1162
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 5: and beyond. And so yeah, it those two things can

1163
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 5: be in conflict. It is harder to develop him when

1164
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 5: you're not surrounding him with talent. There's I don't think

1165
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 5: there's really much question about that, But I think what

1166
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 5: you said is also the key point here. The structure

1167
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 5: of the contract is basically giving them probably two years,

1168
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 5: and so they have to look at Willis with kind

1169
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 5: of grading on a curve. Probably in this first year.

1170
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 5: You kind of got to feel out what kind of

1171
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 5: player do we have here, independent of the surroundings, and

1172
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 5: then if you feel good enough about it, you go

1173
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 5: all in and you bolster the team around him.

1174
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty seven, you also graded some of the

1175
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,959
Speaker 4: trades that happened. We talked about the trade for DJ

1176
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 4: Moore already, but a team that Buffalo plays quite frequently

1177
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 4: in the regular season and in the playoffs are the

1178
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs, and they traded away one of their

1179
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 4: best players in Trent McDuffie, but they got a haul

1180
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 4: in return for McDuffie. They got the Rams' twenty twenty

1181
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 4: six first round pick, which is number twenty nine, twenty

1182
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 4: twenty six to fifth, a twenty twenty six to sixth,

1183
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 4: and a twenty twenty seven third round pick. Why did

1184
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 4: the Chiefs get an a minus for letting one of

1185
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 4: those talented, talented defenders?

1186
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: Go Yeah?

1187
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 5: And I'm a McDuffie fan, so it is hard for

1188
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 5: me to say, yeah, go ahead and trade him. But

1189
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 5: you just look at the history of these kinds of deals.

1190
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 5: It's really hard to be the acquiring team and make

1191
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 5: it worthwhile. I'm not saying that it can't work. We've

1192
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 5: seen examples of it working. But what say take it

1193
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 5: from the Rams perspective. What they are doing is paying

1194
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 5: a one and a three for the right to pay

1195
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 5: market price on Trent McDuffie. And that's where I think

1196
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 5: it's really It gets really hard to sustain a team

1197
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 5: build when you do that. Now, McDuffie he also plays

1198
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 5: a corner, right, It's a very variant position from year

1199
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 5: to year. Now. McDuffie's a great player. He's been very

1200
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 5: consistent and so if you're going to be betting on

1201
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 5: a corner, I think He's exactly the kind of guy

1202
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 5: to do it. And the Rams they're in this limited window,

1203
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 5: so you can also understand it's a little bit easier

1204
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 5: for them to do this. You take it from the

1205
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 5: chiefs perspective though, Does it make them worse than twenty

1206
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:44,439
Speaker 5: twenty six?

1207
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1208
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 5: I think it does. Does it make them better from

1209
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 5: twenty twenty seven and eight and nine and thirty Yes.

1210
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 5: I also think that this does because the value of

1211
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 5: what they can get through a first round pick on

1212
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 5: a cost controlled deal is just so substantial. In Kansas City,

1213
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 5: they have to make choices when it comes to the

1214
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 5: salary cap and the players they have, and they've just

1215
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 5: been able to develop dbs under Steve Spagnolo, and so

1216
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 5: it makes sense for them to sort of take this

1217
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 5: pain and then take the draft capital.

1218
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: What team I mean, you know, out of all the

1219
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: thirty two teams, and they're all in it. Some of

1220
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: them are in it more than others who helped themselves

1221
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: the most. I mean, who's gonna what? You know? Because

1222
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: I get it. A team like Minnesota, who is in

1223
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: a really rough division, they got they got quarterbacks. They're

1224
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: all number one picks at quarterback in the in the division.

1225
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,439
Speaker 1: They're all, you know, so Minnesota may get the most

1226
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: impact if Kyler Murray does indeed become a starter. Is

1227
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, is that kind of the team you're looking at,

1228
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: or is there another team that's off the radar that's

1229
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh wow, look what they did when

1230
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: this is all said.

1231
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 5: I think I think it is Minnesota is the answer

1232
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 5: to that question. It's sort of a boring answer, but

1233
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 5: I think it's I think you're right like it who

1234
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 5: went into this offseason and changed their outlook. I think

1235
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 5: it has to be Minnesota where they're starting. JJ McCarthy.

1236
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 5: I don't think we're looking at them as a as

1237
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 5: a serious playoff team, and now we are, and that's

1238
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 5: despite not doing a heck of a lot else and

1239
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 5: cutting two defensive tackles. I think that they're they're the team.

1240
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 5: I think you know, other teams have added talent, right,

1241
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 5: I think definitely, certainly Vegas and the Titans have added

1242
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 5: a lot of talent. I don't like a lot of

1243
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 5: those deals value wise. I think the Commanders have definitely

1244
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 5: added some added some ability. And you could look at

1245
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 5: a team like the Eagles, which hasn't been been that busy,

1246
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 5: but they added Reek Woollen at this kind of major

1247
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 5: weakness spot. That's another one that kind of jumps out

1248
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 5: to me. But yes, which team improved the most? To me,

1249
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 5: it's Minnesota.

1250
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, so if Minnesota improved the most, which team still

1251
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 4: has the most work left to do?

1252
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 3: Oh?

1253
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 5: Wow, the most work left to do? That's a great question.

1254
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 5: I think Tampa strikes me as a team that you

1255
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 5: can't feel great about how things have gone for them.

1256
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 5: They lose Mike Evans and now you look at that

1257
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 5: roster and they weren't able to win the NFC South

1258
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 5: last year, and you say, what's like, what's really the

1259
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 5: what's really the plan here? That's a that's a tough

1260
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 5: one to me. I think that one they do stand

1261
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 5: out to me off the top of my head. I

1262
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 5: definitely thought the Chargers were going to do more, though

1263
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say they have too much to do. Yeah,

1264
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 5: that's probably the one. Green Bay maybe you would have

1265
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,479
Speaker 5: liked to see a little more. Those are the teams

1266
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 5: I think that jump out jump out to me in

1267
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 5: terms of don't love it so far. Yeah, it's still

1268
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 5: March nineteenth, but you see a lot's gone off the board.

1269
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: You see that. You see these divisions and how they

1270
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: shake out, certainly the NFC North last year with Chicago, Minnesota, Detroit,

1271
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: green Bay, all of those teams right at five hundred.

1272
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Chicago of course eleven and six, who wins it? But

1273
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the other three green Bay's ninety seven and one, the

1274
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: other two Detroit and Minnesota nine and eight, nine and

1275
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: seven one. I mean that division seems like a like

1276
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: a four sided coin flip. And you said it. Green

1277
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: Bay seems to maybe have fallen behind with the tray

1278
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: that Chicago made. Maybe they do use that, Maybe that

1279
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: does give them some some margin of error with the

1280
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: extra draft picks. And you know, they're saying goodbye to

1281
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, who became an afterthought in their passing game.

1282
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: With the emergence of the young receivers, Chicago made made

1283
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 1: length in their lead in this division.

1284
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 5: It's really it's really tight. Detroit another one that hasn't

1285
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 5: really done much this offseason, and so you look at

1286
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 5: them and I wonder what becomes of them. I think

1287
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 5: that Chicago overachieved last year. I believe in Ben Johnson.

1288
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 5: I think that the offense has been incredible. N't one

1289
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 5: thing I liked that Chicago did was they were very

1290
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,839
Speaker 5: fortunate when it came to turnovers on defense. That defense,

1291
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 5: if you looked at if you took it every team's

1292
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 5: non turnover plays, I think they were last in EPA

1293
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 5: per play, So they relied so heavily on turnovers. But

1294
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,560
Speaker 5: they just had a ton of turnover in their secondary.

1295
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 5: Not to use the same word, but they didn't say, oh,

1296
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 5: we're just gonna roll that back again and try to

1297
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 5: get a million picks. That's not realistic. And I thought

1298
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 5: it was smart of them to say, we know we

1299
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 5: need to change something here on that defense. And yeah,

1300
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 5: Green Bay, I still believe in Green Bay because I

1301
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 5: just think that Jordan Love took a pretty big step

1302
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 5: last year. And I do think if they were able

1303
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 5: to rely a little more in the passing game. They

1304
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 5: tend to be, in my opinion, to run heavy considering

1305
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 5: how efficient they are in the passing game. And then

1306
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 5: you get it if you get a hole, if you

1307
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 5: can get Micah Parsons back to where he was and

1308
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 5: he can stay healthy through the end of the year,

1309
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 5: I still think that they're one of these like secondary

1310
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 5: Super Bowl contender teams. I'm still believing in Green Bay

1311
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 5: even though some other things. They also I liked the

1312
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 5: trade that they made dealing with Sean Diary to the Cowboys.

1313
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 5: I thought they were they got a good deal to

1314
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 5: get a fourth round pick.

1315
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 4: Out of that. Yeah, Matt Lafuller really good coach as well,

1316
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't be surprised if the Packers are one

1317
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 4: of the last teams standing when it's all said and done,

1318
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 4: if they can get Parsons back to being healthy and

1319
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 4: effective when it comes to getting after the quarterback. But Seth,

1320
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 4: we want to thank you for the time. Thanks for

1321
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 4: kind of breaking down the first couple waves of free

1322
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 4: agency as things have died down, but still over a

1323
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 4: month left before the NFL Draft, so we're going to

1324
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 4: see some other free agents get picked up in the

1325
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 4: next couple of weeks as teams kind of prepare themselves

1326
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 4: for that first round.

1327
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Seth.

1328
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 4: All right, that was Seth Walder, ESPN national NFL analysts

1329
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 4: who just joined the show and helped us make sense

1330
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 4: of everything that's happened. What he said at the beginning

1331
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 4: about how fast it's been, how fast the first wave

1332
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 4: kind of came and went. It did seem like it

1333
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 4: was really fast and crazy because you and I were

1334
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 4: on air when the legal tampering period started, and it was,

1335
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 4: you know, one hundred and twenty miles per hour, These

1336
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 4: these transactions agreeing to terms. We're happening left and right,

1337
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,799
Speaker 4: and then as soon as the new league year begins,

1338
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 4: it becomes official. And then after that week was over,

1339
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 4: it kind of fizzled out a little bit. And it's

1340
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 4: been quiet here in Buffalo too, So we're part of

1341
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 4: that quietness. If we were a team who was still

1342
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 4: signing people, you know, a couple people a week, I

1343
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 4: would probably say something different. But the Bills made a

1344
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 4: few moves and we there's probably gonna be more moves

1345
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 4: that happened before the NFL Draft at the end of April.

1346
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 4: But it's it's been quiet here in past two It's.

1347
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Interesting too, because part of the you know, you get

1348
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the urgency, you know, like we said, the third of

1349
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: the league turned over head coaches this year, and some

1350
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 1: of them even gms and the whole kitten kaboodle, right,

1351
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of change going on around the league,

1352
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: and one out of every three teams has a new

1353
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: head coach, new philosophy, new leadership, the whole, the whole thing.

1354
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: So you get that there would be a sense of

1355
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: urgency in some of these deals. What we don't ever

1356
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: find out is why the sense of urgency was there.

1357
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: Was it because somebody else was bidding on the thing too?

1358
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do hear about that, and there have been

1359
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: other things, like with the Max Crosby it was the

1360
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys, and then you find

1361
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: out that the Ravens back out of the Crosby trayed

1362
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,640
Speaker 1: because they got their medical people didn't like it. And

1363
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys doctor was in on the reference for the

1364
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: scans that they got and the Cowboy doctor didn't like

1365
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: it either. So you hear some of that going on

1366
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: where there's a couple of teams involved in the race

1367
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: to get these players. But when push comes to shove,

1368
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: it seems like, I mean, I don't know, was anybody

1369
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: else interested in DJ more than the Bills?

1370
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 3: Was?

1371
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, was anybody not pounding on Kyler Murray's door?

1372
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 1: Imagine for a quarterback, right, Malik Willis. You know, there's

1373
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: gotta be teams, teams interested in him, and I'm, in fact,

1374
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm shocked I didn't hear anything from the Pittsburgh Steelers

1375
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: knocking on Malik Willis's door, all of that stuff going on.

1376
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: You never know why the sense of urgency is to

1377
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: get that thing done, get it reported, because nothing happens

1378
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: for three days anyway, because that's when that's when it

1379
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: opens up. So, just like what happened with Baltimore, when

1380
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: a team can say you didn't pass the physical, the

1381
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: deals off, none of these deals are permanent until Wednesday

1382
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: or whatever that, you know, Wednesday at four when the

1383
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 1: free agency begins. So I don't get the you know,

1384
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: shoe that drops because none of it's yeah, because there's

1385
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: always room for as Baltimore proved. I don't know this

1386
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: teem's like racing to get that guy, like because you

1387
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: get that feeling because you sense that the marketplace is

1388
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: hot for the guy. And then the Bills trade for

1389
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: DJ Moore and half the people are saying, yeah, it's

1390
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: a pretty good trade, and another half of like Seth Walter,

1391
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: is like when I hate that deal. Buffalo got fleeed.

1392
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: No way, if it wasn't gonna be Buffalo, was it

1393
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: gonna be someplace else? Somebody else? You know, That's the

1394
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: thing this, You never know the whole story. I guess

1395
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: because you know, but I don't get this, Like you said,

1396
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty miles an hour. We got to

1397
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: get this deal in even though it won't even take

1398
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: place and for three days. But it's always that way.

1399
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's only gotten worse in terms

1400
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 4: of get it done. Now? What have you done for

1401
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 4: me lately? Because of the era we live in with

1402
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 4: social media. I think that's and just everything happens, you know,

1403
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:53,440
Speaker 4: at your fingertips.

1404
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to know now, I need to know.

1405
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 4: Now, tell me the information now, and you can get

1406
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 4: the information. We have self truths and Internet and.

1407
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Instant gratification is a real thing people want to know.

1408
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: And I'm just I like the way the league has

1409
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: evolved in this offseason stuff because now the league has

1410
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: really become to realize that this is all These are

1411
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: all tent pole events that I mean, for goodness sakes,

1412
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 1: the Combine is a tent pole event. It's there's a

1413
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: radio row now for Combine. We're there, the team is there,

1414
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 1: colleges are there, that the whole thing is there. So

1415
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I get how the league is divvying out this information,

1416
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, one month at a time, and you know

1417
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: there's stuff we can hang our hat on. As as

1418
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 1: a radio show, It's like we're looking now, we're looking

1419
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: forward to the draft and Pro Days and all of that.

1420
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: It's I get how they divvy out that information, but

1421
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 1: we still never get everything we want to get.

1422
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 4: First game of the Men's a n c DOAA Tournament

1423
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 4: went final Ohio State TCU eight versus nine did or Frogs.

1424
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: My bracket is busted.

1425
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 4: Bracket is busted.

1426
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: My bracket is busted after one game? What are we doing?

1427
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: How does that happen?

1428
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 4: We got to take a break. When we return, dipping

1429
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 4: into the tweet sheet, answering your response is reading your responses?

1430
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 4: I should say to our question, which Bills off season

1431
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 4: decision or signing will have the biggest impact. We're tapping

1432
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 4: into that. Next on One Bill's Live. Well back to

1433
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 4: One Bills Live. We're here to say that Steve Tasker's

1434
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 4: perfect bracket is already busted.

1435
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: No longer perfect after one game.

1436
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 4: It was perfect when we met. Come on, man, decided

1437
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:06,440
Speaker 4: to pick eight Ohios.

1438
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: That's what I get for not watching a single moment

1439
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: of college basketball.

1440
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 4: It happens. Maybe next year it does happen. Wisconsin five

1441
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 4: seed is playing a high point number twelve. High point

1442
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 4: is down by two points at half forty one to

1443
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 4: thirty nine. Who I'm sure Wisconsin's feeling feeling like they

1444
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 4: got to turn it up in the second half else

1445
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 4: But we'll dip back into some football talk. Our topic

1446
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 4: for you today which Bill's offseason decision or signing will

1447
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 4: have the biggest impact. Let's go to the tweet sheet

1448
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 4: from Ken Ken saying, I think signing DJ Moore is big,

1449
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 4: so major focus can be on defense. The wide receiver

1450
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,640
Speaker 4: room is not as desperate right now, needs attention, but

1451
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 4: less urgent. I agree with the fact that, you know,

1452
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 4: I could see the Bills choosing another wide receiver, whether

1453
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 4: that's you know, at the end of free agency or

1454
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 4: in the draft, or still doing both, to continue to

1455
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 4: add firepower to that room and really make it competitive

1456
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 4: this offseason. And Dj Moore, I'm pretty excited about it now.

1457
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 4: From Chicago, I watch a lot of Bears games. I

1458
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 4: don't like that he didn't have a great last season.

1459
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 4: But Tasker and I were talking about this before the show,

1460
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 4: and Tasker was was spitting some facts. You know, it

1461
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 4: makes sense that Moore wasn't as big of a part

1462
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 4: of the game plan last year because they decided to

1463
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 4: go with some of the younger players and really lean

1464
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 4: on their future. That was Colston Lovelin, that was Luther Burden.

1465
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 4: They also got a lot out of some wide receivers

1466
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 4: who signed smaller deals like alaminases A Kias had some

1467
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 4: great games for the Bears. Is not Bears anymore, but

1468
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 4: Colson Lovelin rookie tight end, really shined and him and

1469
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams have have started to create an incredible relationship.

1470
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: To young field. Two young receivers, Luther Burden and Real

1471
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: Madoonza both caught you know, about the same number of

1472
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: passes as more a little few less. More had fifty.

1473
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,679
Speaker 1: Luther Burton had forty seven, Real madunones they had forty four.

1474
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: And they all had you know, within the same twenty

1475
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: five yards of production throughout the season, almost the same

1476
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: average per catch. I mean it was they were all

1477
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: identical except Luther Burton only had two touchdowns and the

1478
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: other two, Dj Moore and Roal Madoney both had six touchdowns.

1479
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: They were all kind of the same guy. And if

1480
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: you've got two young guys doing that and Dj Moore's

1481
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,720
Speaker 1: making twenty twenty four and a half million. DJ Moore ghosts, right,

1482
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: So I get why the Bears were letting him go.

1483
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that it wasn't a philosophical shift that

1484
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,639
Speaker 1: caused that kind of, you know, statistical change. We'll see

1485
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: where the Bears are this next year, and certainly they

1486
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: feel like they're going to take a you know, a

1487
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: step forward. I'm not sure, though, it's really interesting. I

1488
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: like the Bills got better with DJ Moore. I just

1489
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. He's just better than even

1490
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: in a down year. Last year, he was number two

1491
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: on the Bills. He so, I'm he had fifty catches

1492
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: and the bill through the bill through the the season.

1493
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Last year, he would have fallen only behind Shakir. He

1494
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: would have been ahead of every other receiver on the

1495
01:20:55,360 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: lea on the on the roster, including Kincaid. He would

1496
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: have been behind Shakir and yards wise, he was ahead

1497
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: of everybody as well except for Shakira, and he was

1498
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: almost there. He had more touchdowns. DJ Moore is just

1499
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: better than the bottom the group behind Khalil Shakira, and

1500
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: he plays a different position. Khalil's a slot guy. DJ

1501
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: Moore is an outside guy. The Bills got better, and

1502
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: you can say they overpaid for him, and I don't

1503
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: think they did because of the market. You had to

1504
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: pay that to get that guy.

1505
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:31,799
Speaker 4: It's expensive to get wide received.

1506
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 1: You had to pay that to get that guy. And

1507
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get better right away, that's how you

1508
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: do it. Maybe the twenty sixth pick of the draft.

1509
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: In this year's draft, you could get a guy who's

1510
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: that good. Which guys are going to be If you

1511
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: ask ten people, they're gonna give you ten different names.

1512
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 4: YEA.

1513
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: DJ Moore is a known commodity. I like that, the

1514
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: stuff that he's got going on off the field, tas

1515
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: he's the right kind of guy. He showed up who's

1516
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:03,600
Speaker 1: been an iron man the last couple of years. He

1517
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: hasn't missed a game in five years. I think the

1518
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Bills got and I always use this phrase, but it

1519
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 1: scratched a really good itch for Buffalo's roster getting him. Yeah,

1520
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: certainly a second round pick is big, but I'm man,

1521
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: they needed a guy like DJ Moore.

1522
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 4: More has had no less than six touchdowns in the

1523
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 4: last four seasons, so he's been productive when his number

1524
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 4: is called, when he's in the red zone, and when

1525
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 4: he's separating from people twenty yards down the field to score.

1526
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what he looks like in a

1527
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 4: Joe Brady offense. Knowing those two also I have had

1528
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 4: time together prior to now being on the bills together,

1529
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 4: Greg said, this is easy. It's Jim Leonard for me.

1530
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 4: No more passive defense waiting for mistakes. Now we can dictate.

1531
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 4: And we heard from Jim Leonard maybe a month ago

1532
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 4: now weeks ago, and learned a little bit about what

1533
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 4: his system is going to be about, and we really

1534
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 4: understood quickly that this is going to be an aggressive

1535
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 4: style of defense. They want to dictate what the offense

1536
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 4: is doing. They want to get after the quarterback, and

1537
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 4: they want to play together sound football and be as

1538
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 4: multiple as possible. When you hear about all that it's

1539
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 4: going to be, it'll be a tough defense to learn

1540
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 4: because Jim Leonard is known for being a very, very

1541
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 4: very smart player. What they did in Denver with their

1542
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 4: defense that was a multiple defense that seem pretty intricate,

1543
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,520
Speaker 4: and they posted some incredible numbers and really affected quarterbacks.

1544
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 4: You would guess Jim Leonard is going to want to

1545
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 4: do a lot of similar things in Buffalo. I'm really

1546
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 4: eager to see what that looks like once these guys

1547
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 4: get out in the field and we can start to

1548
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,959
Speaker 4: see them actually participate in football activities.

1549
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is gonna be. There's gonna be a transition.

1550
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it all off season and into

1551
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: training camp and all the way through the preseason, all

1552
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 1: the way up to the regular season, and probably the

1553
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 1: into the regular season about how hard it's gonna be

1554
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: to adjust to a completely new defensive philosophy. Now they're

1555
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of new players on the roster,

1556
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: and it's part of the deal as an NFL coach

1557
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: these days, on any staff you go to is to

1558
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: you include and acclimate new players. It happens every year

1559
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: because of free agency. As we've been going through these

1560
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: last week or two, you know you're gonna have new

1561
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,600
Speaker 1: players every year and you've got to get them up

1562
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:38,640
Speaker 1: to speed as quickly as possible. So that's part of

1563
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 1: the deal as an NFL staff. But that's gonna be

1564
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 1: the conversation, how hard is it gonna be to get

1565
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: these guys to play a new defense like its second nature.

1566
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of reps, It takes a lot

1567
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:53,679
Speaker 1: of effort. It takes a lot of mental scholastic effort,

1568
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 1: film watching, communication, conversations between players off the field about

1569
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 1: what they're thinking, you know, all that stuff, and they

1570
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: don't even know which guys are gonna make the team yet,

1571
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: so they have miles and miles to go. And Jim

1572
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: Leonard played safety. He was a cerebral safety, he was

1573
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: a communicator, He was a guy that elevated the guys

1574
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: around him. He probably expects his safeties to do the same. Yeah,

1575
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: so let's start there, and you start from the ground up.

1576
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 4: When you're learning a new defense and you have several

1577
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 4: players together learning that new defense for the first time,

1578
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 4: it takes a lot of commitment. You gotta sit down

1579
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 4: and you got to say we're in this together. And

1580
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 4: I think it takes a lot of extra time. It's

1581
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 4: what happens outside of the meeting room, happens what happens

1582
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 4: outside of the practices. I mean, these guys have to

1583
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 4: be committed to know this playbook and know this defense

1584
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 4: like the back of their hand. By the time Week

1585
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 4: one starts in.

1586
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: September, that's going to be the conversation. Yeah, I'm excited,

1587
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:02,919
Speaker 1: get acclimated guys.

1588
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 4: Good luck. It'll be fun. I can't wait to see

1589
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 4: how it comes together. We're gonna take a break when

1590
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 4: we return finishing out answering your responses to our topic.

1591
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 4: Next on One Goes Live, We're back here on one

1592
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 4: Bill's Live answering this question which Bill's offseason decision or

1593
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 4: signing will have the biggest impact to Andrew says, well,

1594
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 4: we know our offense is always produced, so my focus

1595
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 4: will be on the defense, and with CJ. Gardner Johnson,

1596
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,719
Speaker 4: we're going to see a lot more grit from that position.

1597
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 4: He's going to be a difference maker, no question, and

1598
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 4: our young safeties can learn from him, especially Jordan Hancock.

1599
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what CJ. Gardner Johnson can do

1600
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 4: for Buffalo. Now, I played for two teams last year

1601
01:26:54,280 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 4: Chicago and Houston. Ten starts had two interceptions. Now the

1602
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 4: year before that, in twenty twenty four had six. He

1603
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 4: definitely brings a lot of firepower to the defense. He's

1604
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,799
Speaker 4: the type of player where he said during his press conference,

1605
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 4: he was like, if we're down seven to nothing, I

1606
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 4: want to make a play and give the ball back

1607
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 4: to my quarterback. I get mad when we're losing, So

1608
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun to watch him.

1609
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, It's he does play, and he's got that

1610
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: reputation for being a chippy guy. Bill's defense has not

1611
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:31,759
Speaker 1: had that over the last larger part of a decade.

1612
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,719
Speaker 1: And when you bring up Hancock, it's it'll be interesting

1613
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: to see if we learn more. And he was a

1614
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: rookie last year, and you always kind of give a

1615
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: pass to guys who are in their rookie season because

1616
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: you know they're just too much going on for them

1617
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: to take it all in a lot of times, particularly

1618
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: a guy at that position who's trying to learn everything

1619
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 1: about the defense and carve out a personal life for

1620
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: himself in a new city, just getting parachuting in as

1621
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: a draft pick. It's not easy. So in the second

1622
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: year you expect a little more from the game. Maybe

1623
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: you get some information from him about, you know, where

1624
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: his game is at now, what held him back last year?

1625
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, are we gonna see Hancock on the field

1626
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: a little more? And will guys like Gardner Johnson help

1627
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 1: him do that? Will guys like Cole Bishop help him

1628
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: do that? It'll be fun to It'll be fun to

1629
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: watch the young guys watch guys like Chauncey Gardner or

1630
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson to see what they do, that's how you

1631
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: do it, that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

1632
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun.

1633
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 4: And remember Jordan Hancock started his career with the Bills

1634
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 4: and the question was what what position is Hancock in

1635
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,799
Speaker 4: a play? Is he going to be a nickel cornerback?

1636
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 4: Is he going to be a safety? He was listed

1637
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,160
Speaker 4: as a dB and then he ended up taking some

1638
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,679
Speaker 4: snaps at safety toward the end of the season, filling

1639
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,600
Speaker 4: in for guys who are injured. So it'll also be

1640
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 4: interesting to see kind of he fits in Jim Leonard's defense.

1641
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 4: You know, new head coaching, Joe Brady, new defensive coordinator.

1642
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: What do they do with them now? The defensive The

1643
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: coaching staff will get these guys, they'll look at them,

1644
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 1: they'll watch them play, they'll give them things to do,

1645
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: and they'll see how he's doing this really well. We'll

1646
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: see if he can do something else really well. And

1647
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: if they do that really well, and it's like, oh,

1648
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: we can do a couple of things really well. Let's

1649
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 1: see if you can do a third thing really well,

1650
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: they'll give them all this stuff, and they'll put those

1651
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: guys on the field and craft a defensive scheme around

1652
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,680
Speaker 1: what everybody does well. And when they can do that,

1653
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 1: because it takes a while, when they can do that,

1654
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: then we'll see, we'll see.

1655
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 4: All right, enjoy the games the rest of the day.

1656
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 4: We're going to check back in on Steve Taspas bracket

1657
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 4: tomorrow on one Bill's Live See If from one to

1658
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 4: three DA
