1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, a little Steve a blimp. We're

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: not even in the straged bear of normalcy here drop

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: kicking us into a Thursday. Here we are, Chris Brown,

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: Steve task One, Bills Live is the show. Here with

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: you until three o'clock. The next couple of hours of

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: draft talk. We'll be neck deep in it. As Steve

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: likes to say, as we are one week away, Bah

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: come out, one week away from the NFL Draft. We've

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: all been waiting anxiously anticipating this edition of the draft,

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: and the waiting will go on longer once again because

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: the Bills will be picking awfully late round one, which

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: is a good thing. Means you're coming off a good

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: season in most cases. Brandon being addressed to me yesterday

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: did not close the door on any possible option that

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: being up down or yeah, I don't know, can you

18
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: go sideways? I guess you could take the pick next year.

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Believe me, there nobody knows what the Bills are going

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: at picking at twenty five. I've been thinking about all

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about a way too much actually just

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: between you and me. But you get into this spot

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: here in these drafts, and it's right around where the

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: just ahead of where the Bills are picking, like from

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: twenty maybe eighteen through their end of the first round.

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some moves in there, right because you

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: get outside of the top fifteen picks, and then you've

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: got like four or five guys that everybody has his

29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: first round picks, and then the rest of the guys

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: that fill out the first round or guys like yeah,

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: maybe a second round, maybe in late first you know,

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: third round or whatever. You're getting close to reach status

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: on your board. You're gonna make be one of those

34
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: teams and it's gonna be like the infamous mal Kibers

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: like that. I think this guy's a missing that I had.

36
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: This is a reach for me, boy. This guy was

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna go late in the second, maybe even an early third,

38
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: and here they are in the first round, right exactly.

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: You have no idea over there. They nobody wants to

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: make a pick and have the pundits no matter how

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: ill informed they are or how they don't want to

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: hear it. So when you get down to like fifteen

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: to twenty, teams are really on the phone a lot,

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be exacerbated this year because

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: all these teams have double picks, so they're gonna have

46
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: already gonna have one like finger quote safe pick already done, right,

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: if not two, and so you know, getting the second

48
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: guy is a luxury at anyway. So these other teams

49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: that don't have one, or they're picking late, depending on

50
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: how they fall up above them, we're gonna be like, oh,

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: if we don't get him now, we're not getting If

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: we don't get like the Bills, if we don't get

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: this corner now, we're not getting one. And there is

54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: a drop off at corner. And so the top four,

55
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I think the Bills it's going to be a really

56
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: interesting second half of that first round, not just because

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: the Bills are picking in the middle of the second

58
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: half of the round, but because all these other teams

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: are either going to be trying to get back in

60
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: there where they've been out or all of that. So

61
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really intrigued. I just there's no way that

62
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: the draft order remains what it is today in the

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: first round. And if you're a Bills fan, you want

64
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: as many quarterbacks as possible going in front of Buffalo

65
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: at twenty five, because all that's gonna do is push

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: more of that talent that's not playing quarterback down to Buffalo,

67
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: which means there's a better chance they get somebody they want,

68
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: like at twenty five. Yeah, you want all the positions

69
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: that Buffalo or is you know, are really deep in

70
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: to go. You know, quarterback, they want quarterbacks to go.

71
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Tight ends would be a good one. You can take

72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: all the tight ends you want. Defensive lineman maybe unless

73
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: you get an edge rusher and one of those edge

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: dressers that drops, okay, or defensive lineman, there might be

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that have a possibility of being there.

76
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: Not a twenty five though, you know what I mean.

77
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Brownie's right. You want all these jamokes to get picked

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: high so that one really good guy drops to twenty

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: five where the Bills or at least within shouting distance

80
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: or the Bills will throw in a third round or

81
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: and go up and get him, or a fifth or

82
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: four or five or Yeah, that would be nice. And

83
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: we heard Brandon being say it yesterday. He does not

84
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: have thirty two players with first round grades. Now, this

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: is not uncommon. Most teams in general, just about every

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: single year have somewhere between having been in draft rooms before,

87
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I would say somewhere between eighteen to twenty five players

88
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: with first round grades, depending on the year. Obviously, that

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: will differ from team to team. One team might have eighteen,

90
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: one team might have twenty two, one team might have

91
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: twenty eight. But more often than not, it does not

92
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: number thirty two. And that's what sparks the movement that

93
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Steve's talking about, because if if you're holding pick twenty two,

94
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: you got eighteen guys with first round grades, and it's

95
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: looking like none of those eighteen are going to be

96
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: there by the time you get to twenty two, you're

97
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: looking to move out. And Brandon laid out that very

98
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: scenario yesterday, said, We're getting down to twenty five and

99
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: all our guys with first round grades are gone. I'm

100
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: at twenty five, I'm still seven picks away from round two.

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm moving out. I'm not taking a second round you there.

102
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: They rate these draft prospects. They don't rate them. They

103
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: do rate them against each other, obviously, but they also

104
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: rate them a gout. They transpose these talented young guys,

105
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: They transpose their skill sets and their abilities and their traits,

106
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: all the measurables and the plus the intangibles that they've

107
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of interviewed these guys to find out about and

108
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: all the background work they've done on them. They take

109
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: their whole package and they also transpose it onto what

110
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: they look like as a pro. How does this receiver

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: transposed to our guy, Steph Diggs? Is he's good? That's

112
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: that's where they get graded. They don't just rank them

113
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: amongst themselves. They rank them against NFL caliber players, not

114
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: against dental students from Vanderbilt who they've been playing against. That.

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: I don't care if you've been getting fourteen hundred yards

116
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: every season against you know, a Kentucky football team or

117
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: a University of Kansas, a basketball school. You know, I

118
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: want to know how that kid looks when he goes

119
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: into an NFL locker room. Is he gonna look like

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: an NFL player? Is he gonna act? Is he gonna jump, run, catch, block,

121
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: tackle like an NFL that's the grade. So that's why

122
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: thirty two guys may get drafted in the first round,

123
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: but ten to twelve of them don't belong there physically. Yeah,

124
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: and that's a hard thing to do. Now, you got guys,

125
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: that's all they do. So they're pretty good at or

126
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: they try to be. But that's why. Two, it's at

127
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: an exact science. And then the reason the numbers vary

128
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 1: from team to team. One team might have twenty players

129
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: with first round grades, another team might have twenty three.

130
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: The reason those grades vary is they're not grading them

131
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: on how good an NFL player they can be. That

132
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: is part of the evaluation. They're also grading them based

133
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: on their fit for their team. Yeah, for their roster.

134
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: How does this guy fit the Bills? Yeah, you know,

135
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: if you've got a guy that's a dynamic outside linebacker

136
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: in a three to four scheme, he might not be

137
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: a fit for the Bills for three defense. So his

138
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: grade may suffer as a result. So there might be

139
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: teams like the Steelers love the guy. He's a top

140
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: twenty pick for us. For the Bill, he might be

141
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: a late second rounder because the fit isn't there. He

142
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: has to learn a new position and that's end. It's

143
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: more of a projection. So you're not seeing him in

144
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: that role in your scheme that you play on your team,

145
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: for instance, And I'm not gonna bash anybody, but I

146
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: will bash. The Jets have more first round grades on

147
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: players in their draft pool than the Bills do because

148
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: there's more guys on the draft board of this year's

149
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: draft that can make the Jets roster. You're not going

150
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: to draft a guy in the first round that has

151
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: no shot at making your team. There's a lot more

152
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: guys in this draft pool that cannot make the Bills

153
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: roster than there are that can't make the Jets roster

154
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: because they just have more holes in their roster. So

155
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: the Jets can say, listen, there's a there's guy. There's

156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: two or three guys at eight positions who have a

157
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: good shot at either being a starter or first or

158
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: backup on our squad that'll make the fifty three man.

159
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: We don't have to think about bringing a guy up

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: like Isaiah Hodgins or Marquest Stevenson who will probably be

161
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: practice squad players for them. Those guys are gonna be

162
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man for other teams. That's the evaluation.

163
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: That's why teams differ in their grading of these players.

164
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: They're looking at their roster and other teams are looking

165
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: at a different roster, so it varies from team to team,

166
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: and that's and so as you think about at thirty

167
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: two teams, that's about ten gazillion moving parts that you

168
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: got to kind of wade through to see where this

169
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: guy's gonna get picked and where the other guy's gonna

170
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: get picked. Is he gonna be there at twenty five

171
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills or the Jet's gonna take him

172
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: at fifteen or sixteen. It's a it's a real problem,

173
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: and it's a hard it's a hard group of you know,

174
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: pile of data to go through. It's also hard to

175
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: wait that long at pick twenty five and hold your water,

176
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: be patient, let the draft come to you as a

177
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,840

189
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: from this end of it. It's like festivals. I mean,

190
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: let's go. It's a three day festival and we're gonna

191
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: chew it up and taste it savorite favorite and swallow

192
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: it and take another sip and savor that and talk

193
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: about all thirty two two it's just and now leading

194
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: up to it, it's like, oh gosh, I haven't really

195
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: talk about this tight end from Texas A and m

196
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: I don't want to know. I'm just I'm done with that, okay,

197
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: but still gotta do it though. It is fun. Yeah,

198
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: I gotta say it is fun. Bills fans get this,

199
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: may maybe more so than any of the Bills and

200
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: any other fan base, because, you know, because of the

201
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Mafia thing and because, like we say, Bills, the relationship

202
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: between Bills and their fans and their friends and their

203
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: fan base is more like family. I mean, the fans

204
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: love each other, they love the team, the Bills love

205
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: the fans. That it's all one big, happy fans. So

206
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: it's fun for me in that respect because you get

207
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: another member of the family and you don't know who

208
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: it is, like the birth of a new baby. Who

209
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: is our new brother, our little player, our son's favorite player.

210
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: Who's it gonna be? And it's a blast. It's an

211
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: absolute blast. I love it. There's just nothing like it.

212
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: And think about this, Josh Allen's no different. Von Miller's

213
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: no different. They don't even know who this guy's gonna be,

214
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: and yet two days later he canna walk in. He's

215
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: a full fledged siblings. It's pretty unbelievable to think about

216
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a guys you're gonna get to know,

217
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: and it's like it's like automatic, like lifetime friend. Yeah.

218
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of von Miller, will have some comments from him

219
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: here shortly as he addressed the media yesterday. We ran

220
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: out of time on the show yesterday to bring you

221
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: some of his comments. Will bring those two in a

222
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: few minutes. One of the funnier ones, though, that he

223
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: made yesterday when he was addressed in the media was

224
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: how big the other defensive ends are on the roster.

225
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: He's six three and he looks like a shrimp next

226
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: to Greg Russo and aj Epenesa. I mean, these guys

227
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: are like towering over him, Like Greg's like a head

228
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: taller than him. He's just like, I know what I've

229
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: learned things and tricks of the trade over the years,

230
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: being a six three pass rushaurant. How to beat six

231
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: six three hund ten pound guys. He goes, So, I

232
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: have a lot that I can pour into them. But

233
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: they're already big, you know, so what they can do

234
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: against six six offensive tackles, the task won't be as

235
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: difficult at least as Vaughan Seeson. But Von has been successful.

236
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be just fine. Other NFL news, First,

237
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: there is Bill's news as they have added a veteran

238
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: offensive lineman to their roster. David Kessenberry has signed a

239
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: one year contract with the Bills. Came in today past

240
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: his physical, signed on the dotted line one year contract

241
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: for him. Started all seventeen games for the Titans last

242
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: year at right tackle. Has also had some time at guard,

243
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: so a guard tackle position flexibility there. So reunites with

244
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: former Titans teammate Roger Saffold. They played on that same

245
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: offensive line together last year, and I believe he's thirty

246
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: one and we'll turn thirty two before the season starts.

247
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: That seems like a really solid signing. Tall, long guy,

248
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, six to five thing, he's got like thirty

249
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: five and a half inch arms. That really seems like

250
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: a solid signing to me. And I didn't played very well.

251
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: Like physical measurables, they're pretty high end, like just tall, long,

252
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, classic tackles just well. He fits right in

253
00:13:52,320 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: with Tommy Doyle and Spencer Brown and Dawkins and he

254
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: started a seventeen game started last year for playoffs six five, three,

255
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: ten for the number one seed playoff team last year.

256
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: In the former sixth round pick of the Texas of

257
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans back in twenty thirteen, actually missed a

258
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: couple of seasons because he was battling non Hodgkins lymphoma

259
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: and then came back from that. I think he got

260
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: like a Comeback Player of the Year award or something,

261
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: come back from cancer. You know, tip your hat to

262
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: somebody like to restart an NFL career that's doing something

263
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: that sounds like a dog. Yeah. So then he lashed

264
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: on with the Titans after that, which is where he's

265
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: been ever since. And you know stepped right into the

266
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: starting lineup full time last year. He had started six

267
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: games the previous season in twenty twenty, so he was

268
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: more of a spots starter in twenty twenty. But after

269
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: their two tackles, you know, Lawan got hurt and Jack

270
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Conklin signed as a free agent with Cleveland, so you

271
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: know they had an opening and they plugged him right

272
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: in and played all seventeen games. So he's the latest

273
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: addition to Buffalo's offensive line. So that happened earlier today.

274
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: Other NFL news and notes, as the world turns in

275
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: the wide receiver market. Yesterday we told you live on

276
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: the air as it was happening that Deebo Samuel wanted

277
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: out of San Francisco. So I was floating the question, Steve.

278
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: With the receiver market ballooning an average annual salary, guys

279
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: that are coming up for a contract are going to

280
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: be looking to get hand at paid. Deebo Samuel's one

281
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: he wants out. What about AJ Brown? What about Terry

282
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: McLaurin and Washington Well GM For the Tennessee Titans, John

283
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: Robinson had his pre draft press conference today. He was

284
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: asked about the future of AJ Brown in this receiver

285
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: market that has seen a sharp spike in average annual salary.

286
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: This was his response, I do not foresee Aj Brown

287
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: being traded. When he was asked about Brown's desire for

288
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: a new deal, John Robinson said, we've had some discussions

289
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: with him and his representatives. We're working through that. We've

290
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: made it public how we feel about Aj We want

291
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: him to be a part of this football team. So

292
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: it sounds as though Tennessee was proactive in maintaining and

293
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: nurturing the relationship there. And it looks like in due

294
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: time he will get paid. Yeah, and it's all going

295
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: to come down to the relationship. Now. He's that statement,

296
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: and when you read it, I mean, it sounds like

297
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: he's playing it close to the vest. He's not. I mean,

298
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: he is not a Brandon Bean type of general. Well,

299
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: he also said they don't want to negotiate the contract

300
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: in public, so get we heard. That's fine. I would

301
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: be interested to hear Aj Brown speak to the subject,

302
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: see what the vibe is from him, because I'm certain

303
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: there's no doubt Mike Vrabel's over there. Tell him, tell

304
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: him the GM going. You listen, you can't let that

305
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: guy out the door. We gotta have him, and you

306
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: think about who else that Bryan Tannehills gonna throw. Here's

307
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, they got Robert Woods, but he's

308
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: not a number one, right, they gotta have him. A. J.

309
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: Brown is a stud by any measure, by any measure

310
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: of football measure. That guy is a guy, big, strong, fast,

311
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: route runner, catches it, all of it, He's all of it.

312
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: You can't let him walk, but she may have to

313
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: pay him. Thirty million dollars and the quarterbacks only making

314
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: twenty four this year. Now this, now, I will say this,

315
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: the Titans are probably moving on from Tannehill after this year,

316
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: especially if they don't go very far um because there's

317
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: an out in that contract to get out from under it,

318
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: and it comes up next year. So it's make or

319
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: break for Tannehill. About this though, twenty five million dollars

320
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: for Tannehill, that's yeah, that's market this year. That's next year, yeah,

321
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: next year. I don't know what it is they can

322
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: get out from under it next year. I don't know.

323
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: If you get out from under twenty five million, that's

324
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: a bargain. Well, you know what I mean? Seems now

325
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: I'll have to look it up. I think he comes

326
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: in and he's even less if he's less than thirty

327
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: at Tannehill the way he's you don't get out from

328
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: under that contract you extended at that number. If you can,

329
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what, do you like him that much? Well? No,

330
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: but for that twenty nine this year, sorry, he's twenty

331
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty nine this year, twenty seven next year. They can

332
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: get out of the deal after this year. They're not

333
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: gonna get out from under that deal. That's cheap it is.

334
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: He was listen, they were the one also going to

335
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: be thirty five. I get it. They were the one

336
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: seed this last year. They're gonna let him see the

337
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: end of that contract, or I think they will. They'll

338
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: let him see the end of that contract. Because of this,

339
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: that gives him two years to find his replacements to

340
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: just like a deadline of six months, you know what

341
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean. I think they could draft a quarterback. I

342
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: think they could this year. I think they might not.

343
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: Not in round one. Well, they don't have the first

344
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: round pick. Yeah, I don't think they may. Yes, I

345
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: bet bet you they do. But and I get it.

346
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's jokes to be made about. Yeah, they

347
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: could get a sixth rounder that would be you know

348
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: the reason, Ryan Tannehill. But that's not true. Um, I

349
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: just think they're gonna not only do they like the

350
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: contract Tannehill's playing under, I think they'll push it to

351
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: the limit of keeping him in house while they try

352
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: and replace him at the end of it. The reason

353
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to get cut this year is because

354
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: his dead cap figure this year nine zillion dollars fifty

355
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: seven point four million dollars, but it goes down to

356
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: eighteen point eight next year, which when you see the

357
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: dead cap that people have incurred to get rid of quarterbacks.

358
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: But that's not that's not Tannehill. Listen, think about it,

359
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: they're not They're not aching to get rid of Ryan tannel.

360
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: They were the one because they don't have anything better, right,

361
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: But they were the one seed six months ago. Yeah. Yeah,

362
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: and I gutly winning anything with that guy. I don't

363
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: think you are. Well that's that's leave that as a

364
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: be that as it may. You're still a really good

365
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: football team. You're not gonna upset the apple cart until

366
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: you have somebody better. And I Ryan Tanniel's making comment

367
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: money commensurate with what he's done get particularly given the

368
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: team success. He's fine, They're not going anywhere, Ryan Tann

369
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: and he gives them over the next two years, this

370
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: year and next year a chance to try and find

371
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: somebody who can play quarterback. Yeah, at least as good

372
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: as he can. So, I you know, Tennessee sitting at

373
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: a place where their quarterback is actually pretty good because

374
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: you're not. They're not like they're not thinking like you know,

375
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: Cleveland has been over the last six months, and they

376
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: finally trade for that guy and then get rid of

377
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: the other guy, the forty nine ers for two years,

378
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: ever since they went to the Super Bowl the first

379
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: time and lost, they've been trying to get rid of

380
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and trade him. Yeah, you know, there's all

381
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: these team and you know Carolina, Yes, okay, I mean

382
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: you got all these seems New Orleans now they've got

383
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: Jamis back in the house. But you know, so they're not.

384
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee's doing fine as long as they got the guy

385
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: handing the ball off instead of trying to carry the ball,

386
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: carry the weight of the team on his shoulder. So yeah,

387
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: j Brown is a pay him more than Tannehill because

388
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's quite frankly he's better at his position. Yeah,

389
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones at eight three five fifty one,

390
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty, where we are

00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: talking with you about the bills first three picks. What

392
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: positions do you want to come out of the first

00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: two days of the draft with for the Bills. Give

Speaker 1: and day two, in no particular order. Necessarily, if you

396
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: have round one, two three preference, feel free to list

397
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: them on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live or

398
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: tell us on the phone at eight three five fifty.

399
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: But we lead off today with John and Boston. What

400
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: do you got for us? John, you're on one Bills Live.

401
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Here you doing, guys? All right? So um school thought

402
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: here we got some late a bunch of late round graphs.

403
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: We got what a twenty five a second rounder, and

404
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: what are our needs? Well? First off, guys, at the

405
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: end of the day, we need a cornerback and offensive

406
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: lineman and a receiver. So riddle mean this like this

407
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: is just shooting from the half and I watch you

408
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: guys all the time, but I'm making this. So we

409
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: give up next year's first rounder, and we give up

410
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: everything after the twenty fifth in our second round, and

411
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: we move up, so we get a one, two three pick,

412
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: and we take Sauce at like third for first round

413
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: next year, and I like our four, four, fourth, fifth,

414
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: sixth round whatever it is, and then we grab in

415
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: alignment and a receiver in a second and third. Thanks

416
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: the Spook for thought. Yeah, I'm I just don't know

417
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: if this is the year to go into the top five,

418
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: because this is a draft that's somewhat devoid of true

419
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: elite talent. I mean, yeah, Sauce Gardner is one of

420
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: the best corners in the traction. They've got two corners

421
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: that are better than everybody, So if you get in

422
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: the top five, you're probably gonna get one of those.

423
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: But you're talking about giving away the one thirty one,

424
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: sixty eight, one eighty five, the two or three and

425
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: the two thirty one plus the one next year and

426
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the one next year, which should get into the top five.

427
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's getting okay. If you're gonna get here,

428
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: hold on, that's not enough to get you there. And

429
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: the whole reason why is the Bills are going to

430
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: be expected to be just as good a team this

431
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: coming year. If not better. And so Houston's not doing

432
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: that deal with you because they know they're gonna be

433
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: picking at the bottom of the first round. It's not

434
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: a top half of the round, first round pick that

435
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: you're giving them next year, because everybody expects the Bills

436
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: to be right back challenging for the Super Bowl. Well,

437
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: you're talking, all right, So you pick up the phone

438
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: and you get Then you get the five pick because

439
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: the Jets aren't gonna trade with you because they hate you.

440
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna Brand's gonna call his buddy Joe Shane and

441
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: get you still not get to the number five, and

442
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna give him six draft picks, six draft picks.

443
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: He wants to give him the one, the four, or five, six,

444
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: and seven, which really don't add up to anything next years.

445
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean those three, those four picks in rounds five

446
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: through seven, I mean they add up to maybe one

447
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: hundred trade value points. And even your pick at twenty

448
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: five is only worth like seven twenty, right, and you're

449
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: trying to get all the way up to a pick

450
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: to towards seventeen hundred point. You're gett up to a

451
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: top five pick with a team that's gonna be in

452
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: the top five of the league next year, you're gonna be.

453
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna give him what's next year? Another twenty five

454
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: number twenty five first round pick next year for all

455
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: of that for a top five pick. I don't think

456
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. I don't think any of those two. Mate, Detroit, No,

457
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: they're not doing it. If the Bills trade up Jacksonville,

458
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: give you the number one pick pick, and you're gonna

459
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: not happen, it's not happening. There aren't enough elite players

460
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: in this draft to justify moving up there. That's why

461
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: all these teams in the top ten they can't move out.

462
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: They can't find anybody willing to come up that high

463
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: because it's not the top of the draft is not

464
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: riddled with sure fire, can't miss prospects. I'll say this,

465
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: especially at the quarterback. I'll say this just for the

466
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: sake of argument. John from Boston appreciate the call. I

467
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: would think it would be more likely to call a

468
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: team like the New York Giants and say, if you

469
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: can pay Jordan Poyer and you want to pay Tremaine Edmonds,

470
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: we'll give you those two guys and let us have

471
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: your all let's see, what is the seventh pick. Both

472
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: those guys for the seventh pick, you got two starting

473
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: contributors to really good players. I want more if I'm

474
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, I want more back than the seventh pick. Okay,

475
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: we'll get the asking for the fifth All Pro safety

476
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: and a Pro Bowl linebacker. You all you're giving me

477
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: the seventh pick. At the hell out of here, I'm

478
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: up the phone. Okay, Well that's doing That's where we're

479
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: getting in the realm of lamb. I know, but that's

480
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about. Yeah, I don't you're not

481
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: doing that. You're you big contributors on your on a

482
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: number one defense. To move up that that's what it's

483
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: going to take to move up that high. Right, that's

484
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: what we're talking I mean, not quite that much, but yeah,

485
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. Right, Um, I just don't

486
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: think this is a year where people make those seismic

487
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: moves up the board for anybody. And I think if

488
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: the Bills trade up, if they go any higher than twenty,

489
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: I'll be surprised. I really want it. Gets back to

490
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: what I was saying. They're at twenty five and all

491
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: those moves you can get you're gonna get down into

492
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: the teams, and teams are gonna start thinking about jumping

493
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: up there, because those are the quality players that have

494
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: two things. Production, they've they've shown that they're really good,

495
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: their medicals are, they're healthy players, they got energy, they

496
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: got all that, and they got physical traits. At the

497
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: next level, they're gonna they're gonna be a physical guy

498
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: who can step into a big, big time NFL locker

499
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: rooms say I'm here those three things that've got to happen,

500
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: and you run out of those around ten or fifteen

501
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: spots in the draft in the first round. Everybody else

502
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: may have one or the other, or a combination of

503
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: the two of the three, but they don't have all

504
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: of them. And just to give people an idea, just

505
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: for the Bills to move from twenty five up to

506
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: twenty five spots, you would have to give up your

507
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: one this year and your three at pick eighty nine

508
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: just to move up five spots in the bottom half

509
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: a round one. It's at a premium. First round picks

510
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: are at a premium. So that's why I really don't

511
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: see them moving any higher than that this year. In fact,

512
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: it's probably more likely they move out and down. Then

513
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: they go up in round one. Anyway, Round two, round three,

514
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: it's a different ball game because the cost of doing

515
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: business isn't as steep. We have to take a break here.

516
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a little it's earlier than I thought

517
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: it was. I'm looking at the other clock. But we'll

518
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: take a break here. Anyway. What we're talking about with

519
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: you is buff Fellows top three picks twenty five fifty

520

Speaker 1: So we promised you some comments from Bill's newest pass,

530
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: Rucer Von Miller, signed in free agency. Obviously, he's here

531
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: at the offseason conditioning program, which continued today. I gotta

532
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: tell you our office, we're pretty lucky. We sit at

533
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: the end of the field house in Little Cubeville and

534
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: we've got a little alcove in there where we sit

535
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: keeps better than his. But yeah and yeah, and uh,

536
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: we can hear everything going on in the field house,

537
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the conditioning that they're doing

538
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: with the strength and conditioning staff led by Eric Siano,

539
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: one of the best in the business. And uh, he

540
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: makes it very competitive for them on purpose. So he'll

541
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: break guys off into different teams. And they were being

542
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: put through an obstacle course of sorts today and you know,

543
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: you got guys cheering guys on and it's conditioning slash

544
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: competition where they're like they're running through an obstacles where

545
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: they carry weights and jump and they do all this stuff.

546
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's basically like a pe class. Yeah,

547
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: but you got some world class competitors doing. Yeah. But

548
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: I get fired up just watching. I was shouting down

549
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: the field, let's go. They're like, they're just I love it.

550
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: They're frothing at the mouth because they gotta win for

551
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, for some apparent reason that we don't know about.

552
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: Yea um. But in any event, Vaughan has been very

553
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: impressed with what he's seen here in the building, not

554
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: only amongst teammates. So after just a couple of days

555
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: of being around his new teammates here in the locker room,

556
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: around the coaching staff, in the classroom, these are his

557
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: initial reactions to being part of the Bills organization. The

558
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: collection of guys, the collection of personalities is nothing like

559
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: I've ever been on. And you know, I was with

560
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: the Rams last year and it was like the Pro

561
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: Bowl every day. He got talented guys all around from

562
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, Cooper Cup, Matthew Stafford.

563
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: I had Odell Beckham right across. This locker room was

564
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: right across from and we had a great locker room there.

565
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: This locker room is great, man. Everybody's uh, it kind

566
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: of has like a college vibe here at the facility.

567
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: Facility is great here, whenever we're here at work is great.

568
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, just when you walk outside, it's just I'm

569
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: still getting used to, you know, to win and and

570
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: being in Buffalo. But everybody that I talked to, everybody

571
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: that talked to that we were here from big cities,

572
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: they love it. They they they they grow this love

573
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: for the city, they grow this love for the snow

574
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: and the win, and um, I'm hoping that would be me,

575
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: but I haven't got there yet. Well, when we're here

576
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: at the facility, it's, uh, you know, it's it's a

577
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: dream and you know, it just reminds me of why

578
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: I made the decision to come right to the Buffalo Bills.

579
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: So pretty good early impressions thus far. I think it's

580
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: the you know, he's been on teams before. Obviously, he's

581
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: been on two different teams Denver the Rams last two

582
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: World Championships and won two Super Bowls. If he can

583
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl with Buffalo, would be the first

584
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: player ever to win a Super Bowl with three different

585
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: NFL franchises. Right. Third, Matt Millan did it, did it.

586
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 1: And there was some other guy that I had never

587
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: heard of who was actually did it. Matt was with

588
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: the Raiders, Redskins, Niners, Niners, And there was one other

589
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: guy whose name I did not recognize. And but you're right, Wow,

590
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: guys have done. It's elite company. It's elite company now. Yeah,

591
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: so he's been around the block. The guy's a very

592
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: good player and knows what he's doing, and certainly all

593
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: of us here in Western New York can relate to

594
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: the him dropping down in this actual couple of weeks

595
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: that he's here in Buffalo for this kind of weather,

596
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: it's like, oh gosh, just stop. Um, it's the worst

597
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: weather of the year. So he know him, he recognizes

598
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: it as such. Yeah, rightfully. So he got a lot

599
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: of early in late season snow in Denver too, They

600
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: get a lot of early snow. They get a lot

601
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: of I grew up out there near there, a couple

602
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: hours away. Um, they get about three hundred and thirty

603
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: days of sunshine. Though in between that not a lot

604
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: as not as much gray as we get and that

605
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: and it's colder there as well at times. Yeah it

606
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: does because yeah um. Vaughan also confirmed that he has

607
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: he is at peace with his decision to sign with

608
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: the Bills. For those of you that saw his a

609
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: vlog which is a video blog, uh, he was kind of,

610
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, really wrestling with it for a time when

611
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: he was out in the Bahamas on vacation and his

612
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: agent was calling him and he was kind of saying, oh, well,

613
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: let's see what the money is and do I want

614
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: to do that? And blah blah blah, and then he

615
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: ultimately decides on Buffalo and he confirmed that he is

616
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: now at peace with his decision. I got here and um,

617
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, I sat down with all the guys, man,

618
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: I just I felt that peace, and I felt like

619
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: this was the place. Um, you know, Bill's mafia went

620
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: crazy like brod. He's the type of fans that I

621
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: own to play for. Um being you know, sitting down

622
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: with with with Brandon being, oh my god, like he's

623
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: he's an incredible you know Jim and um, you know,

624
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: talking to him and I just felt like everybody was

625
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: telling him me the truth. I didn't feel like, um,

626
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: people were lying to me to get here. I felt

627
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: like everybody that I talked to, you know, they genuinely

628
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: wanted me here. It was it was genuinely a purpose

629
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: for me to be here. Um. I genuinely felt love

630
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: from the organization organization. I genuinely felt wanted from everybody,

631
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: not just uh, you know Digs or Josh Allen, but

632
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: from the coaches, to the fans to everybody. And you know,

633
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: being here for the start of OTA is this is

634
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: definitely put me at peace. And I'm excited to go

635
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go win another I'm ready to go

636
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl for the Buffalo Bills. I'm ready

637
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: to see Bills Mafia go crazy. I'm ready to build

638
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: the special relationships with all the with all the workers

639
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: here and everybody that makes this this thing go. And

640
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm super excited to be a Buffalo be

641
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: so pretty cool. Um. And the other thing that I

642
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: found interesting is he basically said, I'm thirty three, but

643
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: I don't feel thirty three. He goes and I don't

644
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: look like thirty three, and I would venture to say

645
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: that's probably accurate for the average thirty three year old.

646
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: He does not look Three's right, he's yoked up and

647
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: as Brandon Bean said, you put on his film from

648
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: last year, he's bending that edge and causing problems. And

649
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: I think they expect that to happen here too. The

650
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: thing that Vaughan said that was most interesting. He intends

651
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 1: to play out his full contract. It's a six year deal,

652
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: so for him, we're talking thirty nine. I think you

653
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: got to come in with that. I think he got

654
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: to come in with that, and he did. I mean

655
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: it's interesting too, you said this, he came in he

656
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't like one hundred percent sure about this

657
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's kind of waffling a little bit. He

658
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: lands in Buffalo and it is what it is, and

659
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, comes over and then I think

660
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: it's a testament. I think Bill's fans will see this.

661
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: He sat down with Brandon being he was like, wow, okay, yeah,

662
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: I get okay, I get it. You know, the closer

663
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, Sean McDermott, the guys in the locker room,

664
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: they absolutely sold him. And I think that's something that

665
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: other players have said. When you hear a guy like

666
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: Von Miller said when he says I don't know that sure,

667
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: you figure when the guy gets here. Before he gets here,

668
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: he's decided. And it kind of probably was that way

669
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: for Von but he was like, I don't know, Am

670
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: I really gonna do that? Am I really gonna do this?

671
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: And he sat down and he got sold immediately by

672
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: the people, by the attitude, by the vibe in the building,

673
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: And I think that speaks well for the organization. I

674
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: think I'm sure Bills fans love hearing it. Yeah. Vaughan

675
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: also gave his impressions at least the early ones. Granted

676
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: he hasn't seen these guys up close and personal play football,

677
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: but he he's watching some film. I know he likes

678
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: what he've seen out of Ed Oliver on tape. But

679
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: here is von on his impressions of his new defensive

680
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: line teammates and being a resource for them in terms

681
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: of paying his knowledge forward to younger players. I'm an

682
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: open book and then I'm gonna force some of my

683
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: chapters on them. So I'm gonna force some of the

684
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: stuff that I that I know on them. Um, it's

685
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: just little things that I greg. You know, these guys

686
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: are huge, Like I'm six, you know, I'm six three,

687
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: Like these guys are huge. Just things that I've learned

688
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: of in my career that have helped me, you know,

689
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: a battle with six six six, three hundred pound guys,

690
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: and these guys are already huge. So it's just a

691
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: little stuff like that that that I introduced to those

692
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: guys to you know, help it, you know, help their

693
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: their development out. You know, Um, these are the guys man.

694
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: And you know I said when Shack and Shane Ray,

695
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: you know they left the Broncos, like I'm not you know,

696
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't have any more kids. You know, I'm not

697
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: about to coach anybody else. But you know, the longer

698
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: you play, you know, that's just how that's just how

699
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: it develops. You know, the longer you play, Um, you

700
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: gotta pay that the information for it. And it's just

701
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: my way of giving back to a game that has

702
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: given so much to me. You gotta pay this knowledge.

703
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: You gotta pay the knowledge for DeMarcus where did it

704
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: for me? Elvis Doomerville, Sean Phillips, And you know, wherever

705
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: I go, I'm already I'm already in that role right

706
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: before I walk into like Home. Yeah, DeMarcus Ware and

707
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: Elvis Duomerville are pretty two pretty good guys to learn from,

708
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: I would say, which he did at a very young

709
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: age up in Denver before Duomerville eventually went to Baltimore

710
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: and DeMarcus Ware retired. But that's a common thing that

711
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: I don't think fans here too much about, the whole

712
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: paid forward mindset that goes from established players to up

713
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: and coming plays. The only reason you're paying it forward

714
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: is because someone paid it forward to you, right, and

715
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: you almost feel obligated to kind of. It's almost like

716
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: an honor. The shields kind of thing, right, isn't It

717
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: isn't how that is for players? Yeah? Yes, And also

718
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to walk into a place like

719
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: that and not remember you were the same guy, just

720
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: not that long ago. As long as your career is,

721
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: you can it's not that hard to remember back to

722
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: what it was like when you were a young guy,

723
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: and you wish you kind of think about what you

724
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: wish those guys and how they would treat you and

725
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: what they would tell you and what would have helped you,

726
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: and plus when you get to know him personally, you

727
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: do want to help them. And so it's pretty common

728
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: for that to happen. Doesn't happen always, and some guys

729
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: aren't gifted with the ability to teach it. And some

730
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: of the greatest players ever find it hard to teach

731
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: because so much what do they do comes from their

732
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: own intellect, comes from their own creativity and their own thing,

733
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: And how do you teach that, right, So, some great

734
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: players aren't as good a coaches as some guys who

735
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: were guys who had to really work hard at getting there.

736
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: They can all offer you something, though, and I think

737
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, von Miller certainly as intelligent as

738
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: he is, has an idea of his place in the

739
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: history of the game and how much he can help

740
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: young guys and if they're willing to listen, being willing

741
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: to help. Yeah, And I mean, I remember when Troy

742
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: Vincent was here for the short time he was a

743
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill, and he talked a long time about that,

744
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: Like he had guys young, you know, as a young corner.

745
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: He had veteran corners pouring into him, you know, both

746
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: in Miami and Philadelphia. And he said, when you have

747
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: somebody pour it into you, you feel obligated to return

748
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: that in kind when it's your time to pass it on.

749
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: And he said, that's just the way. You're not only

750
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: respect the shield, but you're honoring the game. You heard

751
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: Von say it, I'm honoring the game that's given me

752
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: so much. I mean, this guy's got enough generational wealth

753
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: for his great grand kids by the end of this contract,

754
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact he's probably already made a

755
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in his career. He's gonna make another

756
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: hundred if he gets to the end of the contract. Yeah,

757
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you're fortunate help somebody else have similar success,

758
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: especially if it means your team is going to be

759
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: better on the field. Yeah. I don't want to say

760
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: it's like this some sort of code or whatever, but

761
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: it's just a natural human thing to think and be.

762
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: It's a human, natural human behavior. When you get to

763
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: know guys and be friends with him, you want the

764
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: best for them, and if you can offer them something

765
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: to make that happen, you do. It's that's simple. Yeah,

766
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: we will take a break here. When we come back,

767
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: we'll see if there are some thoughts on the tweet

768
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: sheet or if you need to give us a call.

769
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: Eight O three oh five fifty. You let us know

770
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: what three positions you would like to see the Bills

771
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: addressed with their first three picks on day one and

772
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: two of the draft. Open line for you at eight

773
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: O three oh five fifty. We're back in a moment

774
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's line presented by Allied to Health.

775
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. So he wanted to pass along

776
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: to you something you may have missed. Our good friend

777
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football, Kyle Brandt and his cohorts on

778
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: the program were assessing the outlook for some teams that

779
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: have made some definitive improvements to their roster for the

780
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: upcoming twenty twenty two season, talking about the Raiders, a

781
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: couple other teams in the AFC, Denver, Broncos, among others.

782
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: And then they came to the Dolphins and the expectations

783
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: for Tua and the Dolphins in twenty twenty two, and

784
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt told everybody, while what they've done, they've done

785
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: is great, when the schedule comes out, they better be

786
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: mindful of two particular dates on the schedule. Here is Kyle,

787
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: and then schedule is gonna come out a couple of weeks,

788
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: sometime around second week and May usually drips. And if

789
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: you were a Miami Dolphins player, fan, owner of coach,

790
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: when it comes out, you print it and you scan

791
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: your finger down to the three letters b UF. When

792
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: are we playing the Bills? And are we even playing

793
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: them when we consider what we've done over the last

794
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: few years, even playing them? They have a Josh Allen

795
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: problem for Miami, a huge one. Bring this up over

796
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: the last three seasons. Here's the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills,

797
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: who's in their division. What he has done against the Dolphins.

798
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: He's six and oh they have the average margin of

799
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: victory is staggering. You don't see that in professional football.

800
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 1: That is not the high. That's the average. So there's

801
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: some that are way more than that. It would put

802
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: out and to be you know, Bill's minus eighteen, that

803
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: would be the spread realistically, eighteen to two, pure unadulterated

804
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: ass whooping every single time. So if you are Mike

805
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: McDaniel or two or Tyreek or anybody, you're like, we

806
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: gotta take care of this Bill's problem quick, because what's happening,

807
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: what will happen in these division plays is do you

808
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: get Allan and the Bills become to the Dolphins what

809
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: Brady and the Patriots were to the Bills, what Rogers

810
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: and the Packers are to the Bears. If Josh Shown

811
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: wants to run in the stands at Hard Rock and

812
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: say I own you all my bleep in life, he's

813
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: on his way there, so we could say playoff wild card,

814
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: get there first. Thing's bleeping first, Mammy. That guy has

815
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: to stop terrorizing you. Can you keep it close? Can

816
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: you beat him? Can you even beat him on your

817
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: home field. I don't want to bully the Dolphins here.

818
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: These are just facts. This is objectively a problem. So

819
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: I can say their expectations are wild card. Great maybe,

820
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: and I think that's realistic. But first things, I don't

821
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: care if it's Week one or week fifteen when you

822
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: first play Buffalo. You got show up for that game

823
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: or we're not gonna talk about you're not relevant. You

824
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: can handle business your own division. And they get hammered.

825
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: I can't even say the word destroyed, hammered, the hammered.

826
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: They get the hammered by Buffalo, And there it is.

827
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: He's not wrong. Yeah, there, he's a dropped pass away

828
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: from being undefeated against that team. Seven and one in

829
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: his career. He's seven or one of his career. And

830
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: the Charles Clay in his rookie season when he literally

831
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: that was in twenty eighteen, in Week seventeen on a

832
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: sixteen game Scares, the last game of the year. He

833
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: literally put the entire squad on his shoulders and was

834
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: dropped Charles Clay passed away from beating him. Yet that

835
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: was the Kiko Alonso circling game. Yeah, screw turned him

836
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: into the field like a quirk. He did it twice

837
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: and just um, that's the only loss he took in

838
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: a game where he absolutely dominated. In a loss, that's

839
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: the only bright spot seventeen. In that game, if Charles

840
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: Clay catches that pass goes into the end zone, they

841
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: win the football game. And he last played against the Dolphins. Yeah,

842
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: so that right there is uh, he's right. If you're

843
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins Bills fans can unfortunately relate to that stretch

844
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: of history in their own in this own franchise and

845
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: what it was. But man, oh man, he's right. The

846
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins gotta be looking up here a Buffalo going that

847
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: guy's a problem. Yeah. I quote tweeted Kyle's post and

848
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, you're hang on Kyle up here. We

849
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: call that the Who's Your Daddy? Game? Because Josh Allen

850
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: is their daddy. He is. And then somebody else tweeted

851
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, proud owner of the Miami Jolph, it's the

852
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: same thing, And he's right, it's the exact same thing

853
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers has done to the Chicago Bears and

854
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions throughout his career. The Dolphins got a

855
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: problem here in Buffalo, and it's you know, it's problem

856
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: number seventeen. So we'll see. Yeah. I just can't wait.

857
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I I can't wait for the season

858
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: to start. Josh said it the other day. He said,

859
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: it's not it's not that he has felt like he

860
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: needed to be here in Buffalo for these offseason voluntary workouts.

861
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: He wants to be here. That kind of desire I

862
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: think permeates through the roster, and these guys want to

863
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: be here. They want to get this thing rolling. They

864
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: want to get back on the field and start playing.

865
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: And and seventeen in the way he plays against the

866
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins is a big reason why. Let's work in a

867
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: quick phone call here before we go to break, we

868
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: go to Dave in Buffalo. Next, Dave, what do you

869
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's life. Hey, you guys,

870
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: how you guys doing good? Well, let me just say

871
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: one thing. Thank you for that ten o'clock program at

872
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: night on the tevv Oh yeah, well we reack it. Yeah, okay. Um.

873
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: First of all, Buffalo got this twenty fifth pick coming

874
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: and they said that they wanted in a cornerback. But

875
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: what if a cornerback is not there? Would they go

876
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: to the thames on the next best player? Or how

877
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: about the kid running back? Bail? I kind of like him.

878
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see what you guys thought about it. Yeah,

879
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's interesting to say that, Dave, we've been

880
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: Bills by the numbers. Our podcasts coming out later today

881
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: probably and m we're going to talk about that, about

882
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: the possibility the Bills take something other than the corner

883
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: at twenty five. Maybe they're if the top four corners

884
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: are all gone, if there's a no wide receiver that

885
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: they like, there is or is a redundant skill set

886
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: for the players that are left that the Bills already

887
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: have in Isaiah McKenzie and Jamison Crowder. Maybe they don't

888
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: take a wide out all that. What are the possibilities

889
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: that they take a running back? And there's a it's

890
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: a very short list, I think, Brownie and I agree.

891
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: There's probably two guys that you're looking at that maybe

892
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: have a shot at being that guy um for the Bills.

893
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: And one of them is Bruce Hall and the other

894
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: one is a kid from Michigan State third. So those

895
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: are the two guys we think. Now, you might have

896
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: your guy bell that you like, but you might mean

897
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: he didn't mean. Yeah, it might be, but we're we're

898
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: not averse to that. I mean, I'm much more okay

899
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: with it this year than I was last year with

900
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: ATN and um I can't remember the Pittsburgh's um Nai Harris,

901
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm more open to it this year for

902
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: this team than I was last year for that team.

903
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: This year they have fewer holes, their offensive line is

904
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: put together, you know, and if but I'm still on

905
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: the cornerback train. Don't get me wrong. If one of

906
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: those top corners drops or if they can jump up

907
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: and get one, I think that's the move. But that

908
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: doesn't mean but if that doesn't is not available. And

909
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm starting to talk myself into the running back thing,

910
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: which I think is an absolutely one eighty from where

911
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: I've been over the last three or four years. Yeah,

912
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the only reason I think it's a possibility

913
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: is because of what could happen in front of them

914
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: on the board. If if the corners are all gone,

915
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: there's a steep drop off after the top four corners.

916
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: If they can't get one of the top four, that's

917
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: no longer an option. If there's no defensive line value

918
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: because the big defensive tackles, you know, the Georgia kids

919
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: among others, they're all gone. That's not an alternative that

920
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: they can turn to. And then if the wide receiver

921
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: value doesn't line up right, you're really very quickly running

922
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: out of options. And I mean, could you draft a

923
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: safety down there? Sure? Is that something you necessarily want

924
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: to do? I don't think so. You've got young kids

925
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: in the pipeline, You've got two veterans here, So running

926
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: back when you could take the best off the board.

927
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's that, or it's interior offensive line. You can

928
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: get probably one of the best guards in the draft

929
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: basically at that point in round one. So that's why

930
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: it's a possibility. What is the likelihood I would guess

931
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: running back in round one the likelihood is fifteen to

932
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: twenty percent. Yeah, I'm thinking it. There's many there as

933
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys they like way more than any

934
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: of these two running backs we're talking about, And if

935
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: any of those guys are available, that's the guy they take.

936
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: But if if there's a run and they don't jump

937
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: up to take them or whatever like that, Yeah, I

938
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: think running back. I guess what we're saying is running

939
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: back this year, as opposed to last year and the

940
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: years before, running back is much high on the probability

941
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: list then it has been in years past. And I

942
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: think that's about as truthful and generalized as you can

943
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: make it. We got to take a break here because

944
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: when we come back, we're going to get an overview

945
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,760

973
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: people don't realize you've got to rehearse all these camera

974
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: shots and stuff. You've got what you got high school

975
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, high school football players walking in as the

976
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: top picks. I mean, and what's the staging of this

977
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: entire thing? The camera angles and where you can put

978
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: your camp. It's an exhaustive process. I mean, you've already

979
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: got to be out in Vegas. I mean, tell us

980
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: about this run up and how long you've been there

981
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: and what you still have to do before you take

982
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, so a lot of the league itself,

983
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: all the media, you know, NFL Network, ABU, ESP and

984
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: already they're building all the sets. We got some of

985
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: the shots already that we have for our three main locations,

986
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: which for those at no Vegas, we're going to be

987
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: in the fountains. We're actually going to be in the

988
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: fountains at Bellachio, the main theater set which is outside

989
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: the high roller of Ferris Wheel at the Link Hotel,

990
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: and then a bird's eye view of with Ian Rappaport

991
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: that are insider at the Cosmopolitan. So all sets are

992
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: being built, Steve. You know, weather's going to be nice

993
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: and toasty in the nineties, but we expect the full

994
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: packed out with a draft and honestly, no one knows

995
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: what's going to happen at the top, which is the

996
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: best thing that could happen for us. Yeah, I mean

997
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty because there is no consensus. How

998
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: do you build that in in terms of how you

999
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: put this production together, because no longer are you going

1000
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: to be gravitating towards you know, an Andrew Luck or

1001
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: somebody like that who you know is going to be

1002
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 1: the first pick and you can lock on that guy

1003
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: in the green room and stuff like that. How does

1004
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: that change how you put this one together with all

1005
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: the uncertainty surrounding the top five. Yeah, Chris, it's a

1006
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: good question. Honestly, it excites us all. I think, not

1007
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: knowing you know who could be picked one and that'll

1008
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: you know, Domino effected two. There's four or five names

1009
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: I think we've all seen. I know you guys have

1010
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: discussed it and talked about it. Fans and Buffalo and

1011
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: fans in Jacksonville and fans everywhere else have talked about it.

1012
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: That intrigue is what we prepare for. We hope for chaos, trades, movement,

1013
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: teams going up and down, players moving up and down,

1014
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: following the storylines. That's why we watch TV. Right, this

1015
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: is the eightiest reality show TV there is. Going someone

1016
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: argue the NFL is the greatest reality TV show there

1017
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: is and this night is going to be no different. Again,

1018
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: we pride ourselves and giving measured coverage, but not every

1019
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: player is going to be a whole famer. You guys

1020
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: know that, so pick one may not be the best

1021
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: player in this draft and maybe someone else, but we

1022
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: plan on, you know, shifting as we need to. But

1023
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: our preparation we're looking at Monday is prepared for the unexpected.

1024
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: We saw that last year, We've seen that in every draft.

1025
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: So we're ready to go. All our folks on air excited,

1026
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, and hopefully everyone watches. Like I said, eight

1027
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: o'clock eastern Thursday night, Nfilm Network. But we're rare to go.

1028
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: We're prepared and we can't wait to do this. Let

1029
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: me just has some nuts and bolts about what's gonna happen.

1030
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: How many on air talent, how many you know, cast

1031
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: members do you have that are on air? How many

1032
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: cameras are you going to use? And how many locations?

1033
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: So we'll start with the on air guys. The main

1034
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: set at the Bellage on Thursday night, it's going to

1035
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: be Rich Eyes and Daniel Jeremiah or draft analyst Charles

00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Davis and for the tenth in a road Stanford hedgecoach

1037
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,040

00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: be providing our insider information and then Melissa Stark, the

1041
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: newest Sunday Night football reporter on the sidelines. Melissa Stark

1042
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: will be conducting the player interviews on Thursday when the

1043
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: players get selected to the twenty one players that will

1044
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: be in Vegas. The three sets, the biggest sets you

1045
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: know that we talked about is this floating lake set

1046
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 1: on the near the fountains of Bellagio, the main theater

1047
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,320

1052
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,440

00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: that are gonna to watch this draft. We'll connect with

1054

1062
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 1: nfl faan stream. Why wouldn't you just to have Yeah,

1063
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: I think what's been very intriguing in the run up

1064
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: to the draft has been the player for pick trades

1065
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: that we've already seen to a certain degree here you know,

1066
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: the Saints doing some of that most recently, and then

1067
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: you know that the Deebo Samuel thing is sitting out there.

1068
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: There could be other player for pick trades as well.

1069
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: How has that kind of I guess what's the best

1070
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: way to prepare for that kind of stuff that maybe

1071
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: we haven't seen as much of in previous years it's

1072
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: usually picked for pick stuff. It seems as though there's

1073
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: the potential for more player for pick trades going into

1074
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: this year's draft. Yeah, and look, we're we're we'll follow

1075
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: the news as we need to, and we've got the

1076
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: best guys in the business. You know, Ian Rapport's going

1077
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: to be there. Tom Pellisario is actually going to be

1078
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: there in the mornings too for Good Morning Football. We'll

1079
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: be prepared. Chris as as as names and rumor mills

1080
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: come up, the draft buzz. It's like anything else, right,

1081
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: but's what do you believe? What don't you believe? But

1082
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: everything's going to be proven to be true or not

1083
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: once we hit that, you know, once we put the

1084
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: Jags on the clock on Thursday night. So, um, that

1085
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: stuff is good for business, That's what I can say.

1086
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: Cass is good for business. Trades is good for business,

1087
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: especially when we're talking about this event. Um, you know,

1088
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: we want people to be shocked because we're just We're

1089
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: just like any fan in the trucks, right. We want

1090
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: to present the most compelling concept there is. And if

1091
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: a name like that gets traded like a Deebo Samuel

1092
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: or someone else, it's it's it's good for what we're

1093
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: trying to convey, which is that every team is going

1094
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: for this. Only one team gets to get it right.

1095
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: And we've seen examples of teams that we're not very

1096
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: good a couple of years ago that got real close

1097
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: to winning a Super Bowl. So the why not us

1098
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: mentality is not just for the players who played the game,

1099
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: but for us as well. When we're producing an event

1100
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: and your judgment and as you get deeper and deeper

1101
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: into this draft. Certainly everybody kind of watches with bated

1102
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: breath the first couple of rounds. Where's the cutoff point

1103
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: for you guys when you start just kind of roll

1104
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: them along the bottom of the screen and you start

1105
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: still talk about that first round. I guess you know,

1106
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round your people are

1107
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: still talking about those picks. So what's the cutoff for you?

1108
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: And how will you handle as you get deeper and

1109
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: deeper into it? And only like the guy's family and

1110
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: friends understand this guy from South Dakota just got you

1111
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Where's the cutoff for you about it?

1112
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,479
Speaker 1: When it becomes more of a list rather than an event.

1113
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: So we pride ourselves Steven pretty much doing pick pick

1114
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: by pick for pick up until through the fourth round Saturday.

1115
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: Day three coverage is when we start to pivot a

1116
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: little bit, whether we get a head coach interview, whether

1117
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: we're coming to do other segments from other locations. A

1118
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: couple of things I wanted to note for Day three.

1119
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, we started having a little more fun. Our

1120
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: stump the truck segment has been pretty viral over the

1121
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: last several years, or basically our honor announcers, test the

1122
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: production staff of what video they've gotten ready for as

1123
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: we get prepared for the draft with over six hundred

1124
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: players and almost two thousand video clips, to see if

1125
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: we have it in the truck, and then be remiss

1126
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: if I didn't bring up second year, we're going to

1127
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: do Run rich Run, you know, raising money for Saint Jude's,

1128
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: which is an incredible charity. Richards running that actually this

1129
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: weekend at the Rose Bowl. We'll air that on Saturday,

1130
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: day three of the Draft at Able thirtieth one until

1131
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: Network at some point later in the afternoon. So those

1132
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: are the points where we pivot, Steve, but I think

1133
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: it's important to just, you know, once we get to

1134
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: that point in the draft, it is important to give

1135
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: context and what does this all mean? And what does

1136
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: this mean for the clubs now that they have the players?

1137
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: How will it you translates on the field. So that's

1138
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: when we start to pivot, and Charlie, you kind of

1139
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: led me into the last question that I had for you,

1140
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: which was the gargantuan stumped the truck contest, because it

1141
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: really has been turned into a competition between the guys

1142
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: on set and the guys in the truck. How much

1143
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: is how much of a run up up is there

1144
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: now between your guys in the truck and the guys

1145
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: on set? I mean, is there outright trash talking? I

1146
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: mean how competitive does this thing get? It's a healthy rivalry.

1147
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: But remember it's not just guys on set. We open

1148
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: it up on Twitter and social for fans. I invite

1149
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: those fans and jack stump the truck. Do you feel

1150
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: like you can stump us? We have what I think

1151
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: is some of the best people in the business getting

1152
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: ready here. It is a titanic task that's tough to say,

1153
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: to get this many video clips of this many players.

1154
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: So we are challenging. The gauntlet is laid down right now.

1155
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Do you can you give us some challenge anybody to

1156
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: try to stump the truck? Yeah? Because there's there's you know,

1157
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: over a thousand guys in the pool, right, I mean,

1158
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: there's there's a huge number of college athletes that are

1159
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: this year, yeah, eligible for the draft. And this is

1160
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: like the post pandemic year, right where all the juniors

1161
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: went back to school, and now you got the whole

1162
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: senior class and the junior class, so you got six

1163
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: year seniors, right, so what's the what's the number do

1164
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: you think? What's the number of the ballpark? Figure? How

1165
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: many guys you think you've got a handle on. I

1166
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: think we have over six hundred, which is a pretty

1167
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: healthy number. Um, I think we're gonna be fine. I

1168
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna be stumped. I mean, my favorite one,

1169
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I forgot the name of the player. I forgot the

1170
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: name of the player, but it was someone brought it up.

1171
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: And then did we have the footage? And it was

1172
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: video shot I think from like a phone through a

1173
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: chain link fence. But we had it so we couldn't

1174
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: get Oh, is that counts? Hey? If you see the

1175
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: gauntlet is being dropped guys, Buffalo trying to stump us,

1176
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: I dare you. I love it. Phone phone footage through

1177
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: a chain link. Hey, it's footage, but any kind of

1178
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: footage counts. A win is a win. Footage counts. A

1179
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: win is a win? Is Charlie? That is awesome? Thank

1180
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: you so much. Well, we look forward to us, senior guys.

1181
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: Coverage will be clued to it wall to wall, obviously,

1182
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: because we get to work after the Bills make their pick,

1183
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: so it's more watching than actually working. Here for us

1184
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: because we only got to worry about one pick around,

1185
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: not every single one like you guys do. So good

1186
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: luck putting it all together out there in Vegas, and

1187
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: good luck on the tables as well. Appreciate you guys

1188
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: always do. Thanks. All right, that's Charlie joining us. He

1189
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: is the NFL Vice President and executive producer working the

1190
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. He is the guy that's calling the shots

1191
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: for the eighth year now. And I get some people

1192
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: who think about it. You and I are in the business,

1193
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: so we kind of understand the absolutely gargantuan effort that

1194
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: it takes, and a huge team effort, a crew that

1195
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: goes out there and puts this on. You've got cameraman,

1196
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: You've got you know, guys who are just in for

1197
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: the draft. You know they're just paying him to come

1198
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: in to work for the draft. Guys already out there

1199
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: building stuff. You got carpenters, all these a scaffold stages

1200
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: and ys a business out there and they've done this before,

1201
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: but to do it for a three day shot where

1202
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: you got it's not like a three hour football game.

1203
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: It's like a six hour football game three nights in

1204
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: a row. And the logistics that it takes to get

1205
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: out there, the camera shots, all the moving part that

1206
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: have to be in place. And you know they got

1207
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: these words the information alone. Yeah, the information. Forget about

1208
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: the research and getting the things all put together, like

1209
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: picking a name out of a hat as a college

1210
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: athlete and then having footage of him, like he said,

1211
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta you scour every place and they

1212
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: come up with phone footage. Have you watched something the

1213
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: truck It is so it's great, it's the best. Oh

1214
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: my god, it's the best. So it really is a

1215
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: gargantean effort, and it's a testament to the power and

1216
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: the popularity of the National Football League that they're draft

1217
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: what used to be held in a conference room in

1218
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: a hotel with guys on phones. Yeah. Two. Then it

1219
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: went to the remember the hotel in New York, and

1220
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: they had people. Fans were in the balconies, the giants

1221
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: and jet fans were in the balconies. And then they

1222
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: got then they started taking it on the road, and

1223
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's a traveling literally, it's a

1224
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: traveling circus. They got guys this year that are coming

1225
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: in across the pond. They have a floating set they

1226
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: got at the Bellaggio and the draft picks are floating

1227
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: on a barge across the water to the stage. For

1228
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: those people that are not familiar with it, the Bellagio

1229
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: fountain area is where they have what my kids used

1230
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: to call the dancing water. My sister used to live

1231
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: out in North Las Vegas, so we would go out

1232
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: and visit, and sometimes the cheapest place to stay in

1233
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: a hotel will be right on the strip. My kids

1234
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: were little, we used to take them out. They say, oh,

1235
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: let's go see the dancing water because they have like

1236
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a water show set to music

1237
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: in the fountain in front of the Bellagio. I should

1238
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: have asked, Charlie, I'm just thinking of this. Now. Are

1239
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: they gonna be shooting off water spouts after every guy

1240
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: comes by in the barge? Like? What are they gonna

1241
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: need a wet suit? What are we doing? Think about this,

1242
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: Think about and I get it's Vegas, so they're kind

1243
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: of on board with this. If you had that thing

1244
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: and like it like it has been Chicago, Philly, Cleveland,

1245
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: all the places that it has been, the public and

1246
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: the governmental the local governmental coop operation that you gotta

1247
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: get have cops, you gotta have a security, you gotta

1248
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: have insurance, you know, for you know, the guys building it,

1249
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: the people standing there, the stands, the grand stands, the

1250
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: crowd control. Oh my gosh, and this is all for

1251
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: like reality TV. The NFL's off its rocker. I mean,

1252
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, unbelievable. Yeah, it never ceases to grow. It's like,

1253
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's like Godzilla in the movies. He's that's

1254
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. NFL is Godzilla. I don't know, he's just

1255
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: walking around more like King Kong. It's just out there

1256
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: stomping on buildings and everything else is tiny, but plowing

1257
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: through cities. Yeah, you're right, and it's you know, and

1258
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: now it descends on Vegas, who you know, and it's

1259
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: the city draft. It's really it's one of the cities

1260
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: that is built for this kind of thing. They should

1261
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: have the draft a couple of years ago, as we remember,

1262
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: but the pandemic put the kavash on that. And you know,

1263
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell is doing it in his leather recliner, calling

1264
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: out picks and got virtual fans on the screen that

1265
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: he's telling, hey, come on, let's get going. It's your pick.

1266
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: You're on the clock. You remember that two years ago?

1267
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: Think about how think about this? Even for Roger Goodell.

1268
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna feel so good for him to walk out

1269
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: on that stage and get booted. Yeah, it'll be great.

1270
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: He'll welcome it. He'll be like, ah, yes, this is

1271
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: the old guy an hour back, back, the old time,

1272
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: right especially back. Come on, give it to me. But

Speaker 1: we go to the phones and we go to Mitchell

01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. Hey, how's it going guys? Good? Good?

1286
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's actually funny. I called in today. I

1287
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: didn't know that was the question, but that's actually I

1288
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: have the answer. I have my answer. Okay, So I'm

1289
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: big on the idea of cornerback and I've been getting

1290
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: whoever is the cornerback that we think can be a

1291
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, a starter and impact player just like today

1292
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: this white um And then you know the reason I

1293
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: want that. You know, it would be good at the

1294
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: start of the season. You know, you let Davias some heel.

1295
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: You know if if heels not fully healed, that you've

1296
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: got some more time, you know, and then you get

1297
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: another impact player on the defense. But also just long

1298
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: term wise, you know, you sit back and look at like,

1299
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, the fantastic job that being done with developing

1300
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: this team, and you look at the guys who are

1301
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: signed the foreseeable future. If we were to draft a cornerback,

1302
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, we have both defending both cornerbacks

1303
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: signed for the preceiable future. We have Van Miller and

1304
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Greg Russo signed for the foreseeable future. We have Stefan

1305
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Diggs Deon Doc and Spencer Brown, Mitch Moore, Josh Allen

1306
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: like those are that those positions are all the most

1307
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: important spots of the football field. And we have all

1308
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: those positions signed for a long time, and all we

1309
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: would have to do, you know, it's you know, extend

1310
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: guys like player Edmonds and Oliver and you look at

1311
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: you look at our team and I personally think that's doable,

1312
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: and you look at our whole entire team, and man,

1313
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's pretty outstanding to see that we're

1314
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: in this position to start off with, where you know,

1315
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: we have to extend only a handful of further players

1316
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: and we've got all the key positions signed here for

1317
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: the next few years. And then on top of that,

1318
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,639
Speaker 1: you know, if we were to draft a superstar cornerback,

1319
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm not too into the studying for

1320
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: who's the better player in the draft, but I know

1321
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: that Derek Stanley Junior and a Moud Gardener it seems

1322
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: to be the two guys that are the real superstars.

1323
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: You know, I get that. You know, maybe we would

1324
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: have to move up in the draft, but you know,

1325
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we can get a superstar,

1326
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: an impact player that could be on the opposite side

1327
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: of Trevious White come next season, in the next couple

1328
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 1: of years. You know that just I feel like that

1329
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: could make such a huge impacting team. And given the

1330
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: position we're in right now, where we got we got,

1331
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: we got a team that's competing for the Super Bowl.

1332
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: To throw that on top of it would just be

1333
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: fantastic in our opinion, So appreciate the call. Yeah, thanks.

1334
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: I will say this, I think everybody, to a man

1335
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: or a woman, would prefer that the Bills supplement the

1336
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: cornerback position, and the sooner the better. But I think

1337
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: what we what we sometimes forget, is that the value

1338
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: has to line up with where they're picking. Some people

1339
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: are like, I don't care. I don't care if the

1340
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: value matches up or not. Just get a corner right,

1341
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: And that's that's not the route to success in the

1342
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. You will make a mistake if you do that.

1343
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm sure if Brandon Bean had his druthers,

1344
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: he'd tell you what position he'd prefer to take a

1345
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty five to best help his football team if he

1346
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: knew he could get a guy that fit the value. Like,

1347
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: let's just say, all things being equal, every position on

1348
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: your board has a player horizontally lining up with every

1349
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: player at every other position on the board. So you

1350
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,600
Speaker 1: could pick any one of these positions. Every one of

1351
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: these guys that you have ranked similarly are available, what

1352
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: position do you take? And I would bet corner is

1353
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: one of the first two out of his mouth if

1354
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: you ask me. You know, all things literally being equal.

1355
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: But as we know, that doesn't happen in a draft

1356
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,600
Speaker 1: because you got thirty one other teams trying to do

1357
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. So as much as we all

1358
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 1: might want a corner in round one, if the guys

1359
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: that fit the value are all off the board, the

1360
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: bills are not taking a corner in round one, because

1361
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: that's just the way it works. And you think about

1362
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: it too, and we talk about how shallow they are there.

1363
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I was looking at they've got you know, they've got

1364
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: eight corners on the roster right now, eight and a

1365
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are like eight. Yeah, they do. Starts

1366
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: with Elijah Griffin, undrafted kid last year right, six foot

1367
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: one seventy five out of USC, Tim Harris, who's six

1368
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: one two oh five, second year out of what out

1369
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: of Virginia. Dane Jackson, Tarren Johnson, cam Lewis five nine

1370
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: three he's from the UB kid Nick McLeod six last

1371
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: year notre Dame Sir Rand Neil special Teams guy just resigned,

1372
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: and Tradevious White. So they've got all these guys all

1373
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: the way from Tradevious White, Surrand Neil, Nick McLeod, cam Lewis,

1374
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson, Dane Jackson, Tim Harrison, Elijah Griffin. All those

1375
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: guys are on the roster right now, right and not

1376
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: for nothing, Dane Jackson played really well. You could do

1377
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot worse than Dane Jackson as your number two corner. Yes,

1378
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: and he was playing opposite Levi Wallace. Um. You just

1379
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: you're they're not bereft of talent now, Certainly those guys

1380
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: all have their own skill sets, and you know they've

1381
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: got all these things. I think the only guy that

1382
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 1: the Bill's coaching staff hasn't seen up close and personal

1383
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: would be Tim Harris, the guy they just signed. But

1384
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, they've got some guys over there, so it's

1385
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: not a finger quotes positional emergency unless they feel like

1386
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: none of those guys can play. And I know for

1387
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: a fourth they know Dane Jackson. I think they were

1388
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: really pleased with how he came in and played last year.

1389
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: He made fun of my bromance last year. You were

1390
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: right now I gotta tell you you were at the

1391
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: beginning of it. Was it you were teasing me. Well,

1392
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: you called Dawson Knox and I called Dane Jackson, so right,

1393
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: we were both right. Yeah, I know, you know every

1394
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: once in a while, the blind squirrel. We were both right.

1395
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 1: We said those two, those were the guys who are

1396
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna have the breakout years. And certainly Dane Jackson had

1397
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: happened up. It happened out of necessity, right, Knox was

1398
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: just flat out. Knox just came in and place. Yeah,

1399
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: but it's true. I mean, you've got to really, um,

1400
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: we'renn have to do that exercise again coming up a

1401
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: training camp. I hope we're writing again because there were

1402
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: two things for the roster. It was was really good.

1403
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones, though, and joining us

1404
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: now is Gary in Lancaster. Gary, what do you got

1405
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: for us your on one deals live? Well, I was

1406
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,799
Speaker 1: talking about twenty five. We have the best general manager

1407
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: that can be going to draft, and he knows the

1408
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 1: whole draft, the whole der, not just number one. We

1409
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: always talk about Number one. Being's drafts have been solid.

1410
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: He knows how to work what he wants and we

1411
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of draft choices. So his position on

1412
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: his draft is going to be very powerful because he

1413
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: can decide a lot of stuff. He can move up

1414
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: and move down, trade picks. He's an ass He's done it,

1415
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: and then I think they'll continue to do it. I'm

1416
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 1: not going to project what he's going to do, but

1417
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be fantastic. He's done great. Yeah,

1418
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I get what you need saying, Gary,

1419
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. You know, it's hard to make

1420
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: chicken salad out of chicken poop. He now, Brandon is

1421
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna find some guys, no question, but he's if

1422
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: he want to move up and down in the draft,

1423
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to have partners to do it. If

1424
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna pick great guys, there has to be somebody

1425
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: on the board who is a great guy. And there's

1426
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: no guarantee that any of them will be. We had

1427
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: this conversation yesterday the top the six guys, the six

1428
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: players who were picked one through six in the twenty

1429
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: eighteen draft. If you took all six of them, not

1430
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,560
Speaker 1: one team in the NFL would trade Josh Allen for

1431
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: all six of those picks. Nobody would, so you just

1432
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: don't know what you're getting. And while Brandon Bean is

1433
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: a very good general manager, he's only got so many

1434
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: things to work with at the point of the draft

1435
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: where he's picking, and with the assets he's got, with

1436
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: the cap room he's got, with the roster he's got,

1437
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: so as good as he is, he's gonna maximize it,

1438
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: no question. But there's only you know, I don't want

1439
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: to put our expectations through the roof either and say

1440
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: if he you know, he's absolutely gonna because it's gonna

1441
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: be hard. Yeah, it's gonna be difficult to do from

1442
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: from the twenty fifth pick, then the fifty seventh pick,

1443
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: then the eighty ninth pick, then one third. You know,

1444
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:00,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to find guy and they're gonna be

1445
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 1: some guys out there, sure, and there's gonna be guys

1446
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: they miss on, but there's also gonna be some guys

1447
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: that are really good players that the Bills have no

1448
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: business drafting. You know, I don't want I don't care.

1449
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: If a quarterback is gonna be a really solid starter

1450
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL, we don't need him. You know, I

1451
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: don't need another tight end with some traits we got

1452
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and now O. J. Howard. We've got some guys. Yeah.

1453
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,799
Speaker 1: So as good as Brandon Being is a general manager,

1454
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: he's so good, there's not too many holes in this roster.

1455
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to pick a guy out of

1456
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: this group of guys coming out that's gonna be like, Wow,

1457
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: I can't believe we plugged him in and look at him.

1458
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Go he's not There's not gonna be a place for

1459
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: him to go. Who's he gonna beat out if he can? Awesome?

1460
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: But even the guy they pick at twenty five is

1461
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna struggle to do that no matter where they put him,

1462
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: no matter what position they pick. The kid they pick

1463
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: a position number twenty five is going to struggle to

1464
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: jump on the field and go right away. The only

1465
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: place we can see it happening is if they get

1466
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: one of those corners that may happen. That's the only

1467
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 1: place you can see see it. Every other places like oh,

1468
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna step in front of Matt Milano,

1469
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: pour your hide. Yeah, come on, it's hard. But as

1470
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: good as Being is, okay, that's great. We may never

1471
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 1: know how good this draft is because it'll be three

1472
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: years before one of those guys can actually get on

1473
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the field and play. Yeah, it's hard man. It's good

1474
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: when your roster is that good, though, isn't it well?

1475
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: And that's because he is so good? Yeah, break time

1476
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: for us here when we come back, more of your

1477
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 1: phone calls and some thoughts from the tweet sheet with

1478
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: the top three picks. What positions would you like to

1479
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: see the Bill's address with first, second, and third round selections?

1480
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: You let us know and we'll hit the tweet sheet next.

1481
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health,

1482
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here on One

1483
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live, and it is time to check in with

1484
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, which, as you know, is brought to

1485
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1486
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. And leading us off on the

1487
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet is Jeremy, who, when asked, which positions do

1488
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: you want the Bills to address with their first three

1489
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: picks as corner, then a corner, and then I would

1490
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: have to roll the dice and say corner with our

1491
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 1: defensive front now and tight ends going five wide, tight

1492
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: ends going four wide. Often that position is beyond crucial

1493
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: keep drafting them until you have a tray two point zero.

1494
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: And we were talking about this earlier in the week, Steve.

1495
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: You know, you see the ballooning value of the wide

1496
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: receiver position. More teams are going to be drafting more

1497
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: cheap labor wide receivers. You're gonna be flooding offenses as

1498
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: more teams rely on quarterbacks to go for wide. Any

1499
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: more corners on your roster to cover these guys because

1500
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,600
Speaker 1: more and more rosters now, Steve, we did this on

1501
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: our Bill by the Numbers show last last offseason, how

1502
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 1: more and more rosters. It's no longer five receivers on

1503
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: your active roster, it's six. And then there were seven

1504
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: teams last year that carried seven receivers on their fifty

1505
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: three man roster. You got seven receivers on that other roster.

1506
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Even if they've only got six active, you still got

1507
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: to have more guys active on defensive corner. You got

1508
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: to combat the four wide sets the teams could come with.

1509
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. You gotta go out there at

1510
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: least with those guys out there, because if you come

1511
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,879
Speaker 1: out one day and all you've got three corners active

1512
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 1: or even four corners active, you better have a safety

1513
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: that can cover. Yeah, you gotta have somebody that can

1514
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: line up and take somebody out of the out of

1515
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: the mix. It's it's a problem, and teams have got

1516
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: to combat the depth of wide receiver that offensives are

1517
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: unfurling in the NFL. You gotta match it defensively. You

1518
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: gotta have guys that can cover guys up or have

1519
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: the best pass rush known to man. Right, and those

1520
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: and just just in, corners are easier to find than

1521
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: pass rushers because the figgles physical traits well are more prevalent.

1522
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: And let's not forget this. I mean, Tom Brady kind

1523
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: of proved that if you have a quarterback that can

1524
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: process stuff quickly enough, you can defeat any pass rushing

1525
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: no matter how good it is. You just get the

1526
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: ball out in two second. Everybody's doing it now, balls

1527
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: out in two So that can even neutralize the pass

1528
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: rush to a certain extent. If you got a good

1529
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: enough quarterbacks, you better have corner. And also the pass

1530
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: rush is neutralized by a guy like josh Adam, Lamar, Jackson,

1531
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. All these guys that can run at all

1532
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: and extend, they just extend to play so that even

1533
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: if the pressure gets there and a half a second,

1534
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: they can't tackle the guy. So the play's going off anyway.

1535
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: So if you've got corners that can cover up, that's

1536
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: when you got a chance. And the Bills have proven

1537
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: it time and time again their defense and we've said

1538
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: it time. They had the number one defense in the

1539
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: league last year and it was unspectacular. It's just hard

1540
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:57,560
Speaker 1: to move the ball against. It was just really it

1541
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: was everything. Every every series was a grind for these offenses.

1542
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, no big plays or very few big big plays,

1543
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just like, okay, here we go.

1544
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta put together a ten plate twelve

1545
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 1: plate drive to get anything out of it. That's the philosophy.

1546
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser does a great job with it. And when

1547
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: you got an offense that is as potent as the Bills,

1548
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,759
Speaker 1: that's pretty good complimentary football. I was just thinking about

1549
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bills last year went defensive and

1550
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: defensive end last year. You imagine if they go a

1551
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,839
Speaker 1: corner corner this year. I mean, I think it's highly unlikely,

1552
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: but stranger things have happened. That'd be pretty wild. Yeah,

1553
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: wouldn't ever be nuts yeah, Mary Joe on the tweet

1554
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: sheet says one cornerback, two wide receiver, three offensive alignement.

1555
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: I could live with that. Yeah, I could live with that. Yeah.

1556
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: Here is here's a one cornerback, two wide receiver, three

1557
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: cornerback or go wide receiver, cornerback, cornerback. Okay, you know

1558
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: I yeah, I'm yes, Mary Joe, very nice. I don't mind.

1559
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I don't mind those picks at all. Robert not only

1560
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: picks positions, he's picking players. Josh Williams cornerback in the

1561
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 1: first round. Wow, wide receiver Johan Dotson in the second

1562
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: he ain't gonna be there. And then third round punter

1563
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Matt Ariza, the punt god. I think that might be

1564
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: a little early, not terribly early. You get him, but

1565
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 1: you get him. Yeah. I mean, Josh Williams is a

1566
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: physical marvel, but I don't know that he's considered a

1567
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 1: first round draft choice. I think he's a very raw

1568
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: talent with unbelievable athletic ability. Think about it, though, I mean,

1569
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: this is this is a team that loves their ability

1570
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: to develop players. That's true. I don't deny that for

1571
01:21:55,360 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: a second. I will say that he's not gonna be

1572
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: a first round pick. I just don't think we'll see

1573
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean that, Yeah, I get it, I get it.

1574
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm i'm I'm typing him up right now because he's

1575
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: he's a second day pick, he'll probably be the third rounder.

1576
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: He's the Fayetteville State kid. Um. They have a wide

1577
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: receiver there that's gonna go in the first two days,

1578
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Tilbert. And they've got a corner that's gonna go

1579
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: in the first two days Josh Williams. He's almost six three,

1580
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 1: one ninety five. He runs a four to five, so

1581
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: I mean physical gifts. Yes, little raw gonna need some work.

1582
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, you want to draft him in the third round.

1583
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: I'll listen to that. First round is a little premature.

1584
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: M Robert or sorry, we just did Robert Daniel On

1585
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: the tweet, Chet says, running back, cornerback, linebacker in that order.

1586
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: We need a three down running back, so defenses have

1587
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: to worry about out our run game, not just our

1588
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: passing game. We will never win a Super Bowl without

1589
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: the two go bills. I will say this. Coach McDermott

1590
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: does believe in having balance, not in terms of being

1591
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: fifty fifty run pass, but in terms of being able

1592
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: to do both things within the scope of your offer.

1593
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: If you can run your offense in a way that

1594
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: gives the defense the you know, and you're productive enough

1595
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: to give the defense pause on every play whatever the

1596
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: play down and distance is the defense things. They could

1597
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: run it here and be successful. If we're not on it,

1598
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,600
Speaker 1: that's a problem. That's where you want to be. And

1599
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: then you can just drop back and throw it and

1600
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 1: if you can hand it off whenever you want or whatever.

1601
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: But you've got to be productive enough in the running

1602
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 1: game too, And it's a it's a hard balance. We

1603
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: talked about it last year and we've seen it. Football

1604
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 1: fans know what I'm talking about. You see these teams

1605
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 1: run it and they're really good at it. And the

1606
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: question becomes always this, well, if you're running it so good,

1607
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 1: why are you stopping? Why you know, let's run it.

1608
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: And then he said, well, that's fine, except you're taking

1609
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: the ball. For a team like Buffalo, you're taking the

1610
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: ball out of your best player's hands. And Josh Allen,

1611
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: now you don't get now, Steph Diggs isn't involved. Now,

1612
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting these six or four to six

1613
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: yard runs every time we hand it off that's great,

1614
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: but we're not scoring enough points, you know, or Josh

1615
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: is only thrown for one hundred and sixty five yards

1616
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown. You know, it changes the way your offense looks,

1617
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: and then when you really need it, you don't have it.

1618
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Your your offense isn't your passing offense isn't developed enough

1619
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: because it's lack of use in games. It's not developed

1620
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: enough to carry you through in any given day. You

1621
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's not well oiled enough and

1622
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: used enough and versatile enough because you haven't you just

1623
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: don't use it that much. I think there's there's a

1624
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: little bit of that balance in there where you know,

1625
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: a productive running game, that's awesome, but sooner or later

1626
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: you're in third and eight. Now you got to throw

1627
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 1: it and you haven't thrown it in six downs. Maybe

1628
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: instead of saying balance, the word is capability. I think

1629
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: coach mcderremt wants the capability of not only being able

1630
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: to throw the football over the yard, but to run

1631
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 1: it when he wants to run it. That's all. That's

1632
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: all he's really looking for. I want my offense to

1633
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: score it. Will that's well, yeah, And I'm sure he

1634
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: would run one and that's it's hard to do. I mean,

1635
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 1: let's jump back to the phone's real quick and we

1636
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: go to Dan in Lewiston next. What do you got

1637
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 1: for us? Dan, Yes, gentlemen, I think it's a no brainer.

1638
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 1: We have to get a running back. Steve, I can't.

1639
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't understand you how you could say, being with

1640
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas all those years, who was a multa down

1641
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: running back who could run and catch that breeze. Hall

1642
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: couldn't do the same for us, Cercading Walker could couldn't

1643
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 1: do the tape for us Jack Hellen is gonna be

1644
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: killed if he has to run for eight hundred yards.

1645
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: But next year, that's right, I'll tell you this. I'll

1646
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 1: tell you this, Dan, And thanks for the call. These

1647
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 1: two guys were talking about Breece Hall and Kenneth Walker.

1648
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: The third they know Thurman Thomas, so that's number one.

1649
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: That's number one. Secondly, Thurman played what's coming up on

1650
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. The game is different than it isn't it.

1651
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 1: And while Thurman I believe was a good enough player

1652
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: to play, could have played today. He could play in

1653
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: any ear, He could play be as good as he

1654
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,600
Speaker 1: was then today, I do. I do believe that the

1655
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: game is different, and almost every team in the National

1656
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Football League throws way more than they passed, and there

1657
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: are reasons for it. The rules are slant slanted that

1658
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: way the past defensive what the defense is allowed to

1659
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 1: do in the passing game is limited, far beyond what

1660
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: it was back when when I played decades ago and

1661
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: when Thurman played. It's just a different football game. And

1662
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. If you can run the football,

1663
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: and I've said it too on this show. If you

1664
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: can run the football like like Tennessee Titans or whatever,

1665
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: if you can run it that way, all you're it's

1666
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: there is no defense for it. But the simple fact

1667
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 1: of the matter is in the NFL, every team has

1668
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 1: a run defense that can stand up to that at

1669
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: some point. It's just it's scheme rather than physical ability.

1670
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: You get they can stop the run. Teams are really

1671
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: good at it. They know how to do it, they

1672
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: know how to have gap integrity. So that's why the

1673
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: game is different. Now they stop the run as a

1674
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: matter of course, and then they get after the passer.

1675
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: So I get what you're saying, and I'm not saying

1676
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 1: we don't like running back. That's good. We can take

1677
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: a running back, but I think this roster, the way

1678
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: it's constructed, I think a top notch corner would do

1679
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 1: more good than a running back at that not to

1680
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: mention the fact that analytic data has proven that teams

1681
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: that throw more on first down score more points. I mean,

1682
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: they don't even run on first down anymore. Throwing on

1683
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 1: first down is better. It just changes the value of

1684
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: the running back position. Steve and I got to take

1685
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: a break back to close it up next year on

1686
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:13,760
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Stay tuned. All right, A couple of

1687
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 1: more thoughts on the tweet sheet as we wrap things

1688
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:19,879
Speaker 1: up today. Top three positions you'd like to see addressed

1689
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: with the Bills. Top three picks from Mark guard, running

1690
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: back and corner, wide receiver, tight end in safety two

1691
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: somewhere else in the draft. Okay, well, just run down

1692
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 1: the whole list. Nick says, I'd love to see the

1693
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 1: Bills go after first wide receiver, second cornerback or vice

1694
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: versa third linebacker. Double up on all would be great.

1695
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather see our running backs just get more touches

1696
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: than drafting another with a beefed up O line. I

1697
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 1: believe in Motor Moss and Duke Johnson Go Bills. Yeah.

1698
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 1: I like yeah, it's a it's a well thought out process.

1699
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: You're still you don't know what's gonna happen. You get

1700
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,720
Speaker 1: down to the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds. You

1701
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: never know what position you're gonna get because guys stand

1702
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 1: out when they get down to that point. If you

1703
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: want to know more about the running back prospects, tune

1704
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: back in here tomorrow. We're our good friend Greg Cosell

1705
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: will be joining us. We're going over the running back

1706
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: prospects and his film breakdowns of guys beyond Bruce Hall

1707
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 1: and Kenneth Walker. The third. We'll also have Maddy joining

1708

Speaker 1: us with a mock draft watch. We'll see it one
