00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Plany of draft questions to get to a little off

8
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the wall questions as well. We'll try to answer those

9
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: as best we can. But before we get into football

10
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: and stuff, I have to tell you this story, mannie.

11
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 1: So we see the news reports on the National news

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: about the person arrested by the FEDS in connection with

13
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the leaked government documents that you found their way onto cyberspace,

14
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: and so they raided this Massachusetts home, pull out this

15
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: guy who works for the National Guard and he's twenty

16
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: one years old. And so my wife and I are

17
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: watching this on the news and I could just you know,

18
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: when you're sitting with your spouse and you could just

19
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: see their blood boiling in their head, like just going

20
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: right up to the top. So she's getting I could

21
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: tell she's getting annoyed by this story. With more, as

22
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: more and more of the facts are being relayed by

23
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: the reporter. First of all, the guys twenty one years old.

24
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: The alleged offender is twenty one years old. My wife

25
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: looks at me and she goes, how the hell does

26
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: a guy working for the National Guard, like he's not

27
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: even at the Pentagon, how does that guy have access

28
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: to this kind of material? And I'm thinking to myself,

29
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: you know what you're under, right, because I don't know

30
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: what the hell I was doing when I was twenty

31
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: one years old. This guy's got access to government documents, Like,

32
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on? I was trying to

33
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: stay in college when I was twenty one years old.

34
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I was trying to find every excuse in the book

35
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: to do a victory lap or two, but my parents

36
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: didn't want me to do that. So so here's the

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: best part. So then they put a head shot up

38
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: of the of the alleged offender, and you know, it's

39
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old kid. He's got a uniform on,

40
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: but you know he's twenty one. And his head shot

41
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: and I could say this because I used to have

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: one myself. The dude's got a full blown unibrow. And

43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: so my wife looks at me. She's so now she's

44
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: just angry and she's just spouting off, and she goes,

45
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: this kid can't even manscape properly, and he's got access

46
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: to government documents. What is going on? What is going

47
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: on at the Pentagon that they're letting this kid, twenty

48
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: one year old unibrow have access to government files that

49
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: he's apparently allegedly put on a video gaming app and

50
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: spread to the entire world. And I mean, it's not funny,

51
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: but when she busted out the unibrow comment, I had

52
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: to laugh. The kid also looks like he's twelve years old. Yeah,

53
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: like he's not even shaven yet. How does that guy

54
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: have access to that stuff? I mean, I'm sure we'll

55
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: find out more. And I didn't get a chance to

56
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: read the New York Times Report, which is my newspaper

57
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: or choice for stuff like this, but holy cow, Like

58
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: the best part is the kid had to know the

59
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: jig was up because he changed his phone like three

60
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: days ago. Whoops. And you know, maybe he learned that

61
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady, who during deflate Gate, when he was

62
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: asked for his phone by the NFL, destroyed it. This

63
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: is the perfect time for Steve Tasker to go, what

64
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: are we doing? Exactly? What are we doing? So yeah,

65
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean I had to laugh this morning when she's

66
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: like that. The kid doesn't even manscape properly. We've got

67
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: access to it was great. It was a good line.

68
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Uh sad commentary on the state of affairs in our country.

69
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: Most twenty one year olds are not mature enough. Come on, right,

70
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: I was not. I was concerned about where I was

71
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: going to go for a pop after school. I was,

72
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, I was worried about, you know, where, where

73
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: can we get ten cent wings? Like That's what I

74
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: was worried about myself, because I've been ten cent wings

75
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: in a long time. But um, that was my main concern.

76
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: And you know, who were the Knicks playing? You know

77
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: that's like that, that's what I worried about. This guy's

78
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: got access to that. So I couldn't believe it. No,

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. Half the time, I'm like,

80
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: you don't have all your ducks in a row in

81
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: your life usually till like about twenty eight thirty, you know,

82
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and then things are no offense mannie. But then things

83
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: are starting to get you know, lined up, and I

84
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: think you're an example of that, like you got your

85
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: stuff together, yeah, and you're right in that range, you know,

86
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: But twenty one, No way, Jose, No, no freaking way.

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: I would even say twenty five. I had no idea

88
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: what I was doing. Here we are Yeah, yeah, you

89
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: know what, you're probably write about that because like you know,

90
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: you're you're just starting, you're starting to figure it out.

91
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, like, how does that guy have access to

92
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: that stuff? It blew my mind when when they found

93
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: out how old the guy was, Like, I guess I

94
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been surprised when they said, you know, this

95
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: was spread through a video gaming app. I'm like, all right,

96
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: it's a young person. But then twenty one, Like wow,

97
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: So that one shook me a little bit. Um, and

98
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: then you look at I'm like this guy out? What where? When? Why? So? Yeah,

99
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: just a crazy story and just wanted to kind of

100
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: relate that because it made me laugh this morning. It

101
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: was pretty funny. Um, do you you don't have a dog?

102
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: Do you no dogs? Um? I grew up with dogs.

103
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: I love dogs. Yeah, I want to get a dog

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: really badly, but my spouse is not ready to get

105
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: a dog. Okay, too much, too much time too much effort,

106
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: too much money. But I think I'll be able to

107
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: convince him down the road when there's kids in the picture.

108
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: My kids used to call me mister No because I

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: would say no to a lot of things, backyard trampoline, pets,

110
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, you finally break down and you

111
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: get the pet. Well, now we're already on our second dog,

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: and I've already made it well known on this show

113
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: that that dog is not smart. She's not She's a sweetheart,

114
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: but she's not smart. Um. And now she's like she's

115
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: like a given inch take a mile kind of dog.

116
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: And so we've had issues with her and keeping her

117
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: in the crate, breaks out of the crate, and you know,

118
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: now it's to the point where she's breaking out of

119
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: the crate and she's injuring herself, like she's cutting up

120
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: her muzzle and stuff. So we've decided, okay, let's get

121
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: rid of that crate. And we got like industrial strength crate,

122
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: like it's Fort Knox, and we tried to do the

123
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: weaning kind of thing that they tell you to do.

124
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: You leave the house for five minutes and then you

125
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: come back to kind of reinforce. Hey, when we leave

126
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: we're actually coming back, and then you spread it out

127
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: to ten minutes fifty you know, et cetera, et cetera,

128
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: et cetera. So we were doing this like last weekend,

129
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: not working at all. So now we've come to the

130
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: point where when we leave the house now we put

131
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: a little thing in there for her, like a little

132
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: toy that she's got to figure out to get the

133
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: treat and whatnot, you know, kind of buy some time,

134
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: put her in her place, and then we leave the

135
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: door open now. So now she's got free run of

136
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the place pretty much. So I try to close our

137
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: bedroom doors upstairs to keep her out of rooms and stuff.

138
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: We didn't leave our bedroom door closed yesterday. So I

139
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: come home now usually when I come home, usually when

140
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: I come home, she meets me at the door because, yeah, hey,

141
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: who's here, what's going on? I opened the door, no

142
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: sign of the dog. I was like, oh boy. So

143
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: I go into our office where her crate is. She's

144
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: not hanging out in there, and then all of a sudden,

145
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: I hear this thump upstairs. She was in our bed

146
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: like just to the pillows, you know, kicking back. She's

147
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: got run of it. She's got free un like weekended.

148
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Bernie's like her house not yours. Well, I'm quickly becoming

149
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: aware of that. I just so. And I know our

150
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: listening audience. A lot of times they'll send me and

151
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Steve suggestions when we have dog issues because we both

152
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: have dogs. But I've pretty much given up. I don't

153
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: need any solutions to this. I'm just kind of letting

154
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: it ride and just hoping she doesn't destroy anything. And

155
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I've got a sign on the front door that basically

156
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: says do not ring the doorbell or not because that

157
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: she freaks on that and she's jumping all over the place.

158
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: She scratched up my window sill with her claws. I

159
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: had to restain all of that. She destroyed my six

160
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: panel door, I had to replace that, and staying that so,

161
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: I basically determined in the last two weekends, I spent

162
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: about ten hours on projects that are completely and totally

163
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the responsibility of the dog's nefarious actions that I wouldn't

164
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: have had to do had it not been for me.

165
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: But you still love the dogs, right, Well, she's a sweetie.

166
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: But I know I'm not helping you in your negotiations

167
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: with your spouse. But only yeah, but so make sure

168
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: you find the right rescue. I guess what is the

169
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: lesson to be learned there? All right, so NFL stuff,

170
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting, Maddie that we're seeing a minor flurry

171
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: of signings here right before the draft. Nobody major, but

172
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: there are some. There's a little flurious signings here as

173
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: we get closer to the draft. I often wonder if

174
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: this is more a realization on the team's part that

175
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: based on the draft capitol we have, we're probably not

176
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: even going to get A and B, even though we

177
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: might be able to land C and D. So let's

178
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: take care of this positional need now so we're not

179
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: hard up in the draft to kind of reach for

180
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: somebody we don't want to reach for. And we saw

181
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: the Browns signed former Bill's draft choice Marquis Goodwin to

182
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: a one year deal. He was playing in Seattle last year,

183
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: still kicking around the league. He signs a one year

184
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: deal in Cleveland. And then we saw the pass rusher

185
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Bud Dupree. He was talking to the Steelers for like

186
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: two weeks and he's a former Steelers, former draft picker.

187
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: The Steelers played in Tennessee the last couple of years.

188
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: A lot of injuries and they offer him a two

189
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: year deal. He says, no, I don't want that, and

190
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: he signs with Atlanta for a one year deal. He

191
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: wants to get back into free agency next year. And

192
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Maddie, Atlanta is loading up the defense.

193
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Who They signed a ton of people in free agency.

194
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: And you know some name guys, and I mean Jesse

195
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Bates the big money deal, four years, sixty four million,

196
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: David An Yamada. They do the trade with New England

197
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: for John U Smith, Mac Collins, Calais Campbell, Scottie Miller

198
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: from Tampa, they trade for Jeff Okuda and now they

199
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: signed Bud Dupree today. I mean, look out, that defense

200
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: is going to be locked and loaded in the NFC South.

201
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: So and that's a wide open division as we know,

202
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: because Brady's out of there, Drew Brees is long gone.

203
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: So that is a wide open division. And they had

204
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: money under the cap, and I think they're spending all

205
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: of it. Arthur blank Has's got blank checks. And for

206
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: a division like the NFC South to be able to

207
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: make moves like that, to have the money to make

208
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: moves like that, to increase your defense and get better

209
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: significantly just through free agency. You've got a shot. You

210
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: have got shot. Yeah, So there's some of these signings here,

211
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: there and everywhere. There's some resignings to like, you know,

212
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the Niners have a rotational defensive lineman Carry Hide, or

213
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: they resigned him to one year deal. So you're seeing

214
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: these little shoring up of rosters going on here two

215
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: weeks out from the draft. I also wonder too, if

216
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: some of these players in free agency are like, I

217
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: better take what I can get before the draft, because

218
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: once these teams all have draft classes, my services might

219
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: be even less in demand, you know what I mean. Like,

220
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: I think there's some of that too, don't you. Yes,

221
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: if I were a player, I'd want to get signed

222
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: before the draft, And it makes sense the teams are

223
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: trying to do that ahead of the draft in just

224
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks here, trying to get your ducks

225
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: in a row so that by the time that you

226
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: get to the draft, you feel like your team is

227
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: already in a good enough place so that if you

228
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: don't hit on certain positions or certain players, or your

229
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: number one guy is not available when you're on the clock,

230
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: that it's okay. You've got somebody else on the roster

231
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: who who can fill into that position. But I wonder

232
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: over the next two weeks if we're going to start

233
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: to hear because I feel like we're in a point

234
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: now where you start to heal hear rumblings about what

235
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: teams could be doing in the first round more so

236
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: than we have before. We're we're at the point where

237
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: maybe some more trades can happen ahead of the NFL Draft.

238
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: We're at the point where thirty visits, thirty visits are

239
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: coming to a close. People are starting to to to

240
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: get the full picture on on different prospects, or we're

241
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: starting to realize maybe this is where we want to

242
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: go with pick number three or pick number one or two.

243
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see if any of that comes

244
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: out over the next next two weeks that gives you

245
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a better picture of what's going to happen on Night one.

246
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: And then we didn't get a chance to talk about

247
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: this yesterday, Mattie, but the NFL announced the release of

248
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback specific helmet because based on their research, half

249
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: of all quarterback concussions occur when their helmets hit the ground.

250
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: And this new helmet, produced by Vices, which is a

251
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: partner company that works has worked with the NFL for years.

252
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: It's the zero two Matrix QB helmet, and in testing

253
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: they say it performed seven percent better than the most

254
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: popular helmet worn by quarterbacks last season. And I get

255
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, people might be like seven percent. Anything that's

256
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: better is you take it when you're talking about concussions

257
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: and brain injuries, and you know, players have the right

258
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: to choose what helmet they want to wear, but this

259
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: two has got to wear this, right like two Atogo

260
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Ioloa better have this on a pre order already, shouldn't he.

261
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean, for a second there during the season, we

262
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: were all watching these games and seeing two a go

263
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: down game after game and other quarterbacks, and it was like,

264
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: is there a new problem in the NFL? And it's

265
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: always been a problem, but it seemed like it had

266
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: been more than it had been in the past. So

267
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: if I'm him, I'm running to go get that helmet. Yeah,

268
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: because I mean we've taught Steve and I have talked

269
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: about it a bunch, and Steve, you know, knows more

270
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: about concussions than I do. He's had some, but I

271
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: mean he had three. Two I had three in the

272
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: span of like five months, and you have them in

273
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: close proximity, the effects and the after effects are more severe,

274
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: and people are like, wow, he's had an all whole

275
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: offseason to rest and everything, and that's all well and good.

276
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: But if he gets another one in the first month

277
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: of this coming season, you know, that's four in less

278
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: than a calendar year. That's not good, Like, it's really

279
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: really bad. He should get this helmet if it helps

280
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: him even a little bit. And even then, I don't know.

281
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's taken judo lessons so he can fall correctly.

282
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: He should get the helmet too, though you don't. You

283
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: don't want your NFL career to be cut in half

284
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: based on getting concussions or based on the equipment that

285
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: you're wearing on your head that's supposed to be protecting you.

286
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's doing anything and everything he can to

287
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: to be better prepared this season for hopefully less concussions.

288
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: And you look at him and his size and the

289
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: fact that he's had a few in his NFL career

290
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: so far, and you wonder some of these smaller guys

291
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: who are coming into the league, is it going to

292
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: be the same thing for a player like Bryce Young

293
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: who who is facing Yes, he played for a top

294
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: notch school and he faced some big, big guys, but

295
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: now every single team you face has those big, big guys. Yeah,

296
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: and even some of the smaller receivers that we'll be

297
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: talking about today when we have great co sellon with us.

298
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: In the second hour, the show will be going through

299
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: receiver prospects, not necessarily the top of the board ones,

300
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: but maybe some of the guys a little bit later,

301
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: like round two, Round three, Day two receiver prospects are

302
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: the guys were going to hit on with Greg today

303
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: And there are some smaller, diminutive in stature players there.

304
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: And yes, there are more protections, you know, defenseless receiver rules,

305
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: all of that stuff where you can't be hit people

306
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: in the head and neck area. But I would imagine

307
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: that some of those smaller stature guys might be looking

308
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: at this helmet too and say, hey, it's a quarterback helmet.

309
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: When can receivers wear it? Right? And I wonder if

310
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: they're going to expand the reach to let other like

311
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: a player says, hey, I want the quarterback helmet, but

312
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: I play receiver. Can you get it? That's what I'm

313
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: kind of interested in finding out going forward. I was

314
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: listening to a podcast on the way to work. This

315
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: is I'm in the draft prep time in the car,

316
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: so I'm listening to I Love Move the Six with

317
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. They've been releasing episodes almost

318
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: every other day every day. I want to say now

319
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: that we're inching closer to the NFL Draft. And they

320
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: did a podcast yesterday where they did their favorite picks

321
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: at each at each position on Day two. So they

322
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: were talking about the wide receivers that are going to

323
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: be available on Day two, and Daniel Jeremiah starts to

324
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: run through all of these wide receivers, including first round

325
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: guys who are under one hundred and eighty pounds, and

326
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: as he's starting to list names, the list is getting

327
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: longer and longer and longer of guys who are like

328
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: one seventy five or below or below one eighty And

329
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: he says, I cannot remember the last draft where we

330
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: had this many wide receivers that were below one hundred

331
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: and eighty pounds that have been this small, he said,

332
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: in this draft class, it's not going to be easy

333
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: for you to get a big wide receiver because there's

334
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: just so many small guys, right, and if you have

335
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: a small guy who has an injury history in college,

336
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: you really got to vet that out. I mean, there

337
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: are no guarantees in anything. You could have a player

338
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: with a squeaky clean health record in college and then

339
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: he's an injury prone player in the pros. But if

340
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: you have a guy with an injury history in college,

341
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: sometimes personnel evaluators will you know, put a red mark

342
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: on that eval or if it's so bad, they'll put

343
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: him as a as a medical risk, and you know

344
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: they'll sometimes put like a red dot on his card

345
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: or something, and you know his grade will suffer considerably

346
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: because of it. Yeah, you'll wonder how many teams are

347
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: going to shy away from the smaller guys because in

348
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: the end, it's a big man's sport, bigger, faster, stronger.

349
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: They were always going to be exceptions. But one GM

350
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: once told me, Yeah, it's okay to have one or

351
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: two exceptions on your roster, but you don't want to

352
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: have too many because at the end, the end game,

353
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: it's a big man's sport, bigger, faster, or stronger. So

354
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: you can have one or two, but don't have six

355
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: or eight. Remember when we had wide receivers that they

356
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: were dubbed the Blue Smurfs by Sean mcdernand because they

357
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: were all tinier guys. Times of change. We've got some

358
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: bigger guys on our offense. But who knows, maybe they'll

359
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: go after one of those smaller guys in the first

360
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: or second round because there is some good depth there

361
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: in the second round with wide receivers. Yeah, So, as

362
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: we mentioned, we will be talking with senior producer from

363
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: NFL Films, Greg crow Cell, as he's with us through

364
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: the draft on Fridays, so we'll have him this week,

365
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: and as we said, he's gonna be talking to us

366
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: about some of these receiver prospects, maybe more outside of

367
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: round one. So in the event that maybe the Bills

368
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: don't land or receiver talent with their first pick, who

369
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: might they have their eye on come round two or

370
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: round three on Day two of the draft. So we'll

371
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: catch up with Greg in the second hour of the show.

372
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: But the first hour of the show is all you

373
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: with us as it is the OBL Friday fan mail Bag,

374
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: where we are answering your most pressing questions could be

375
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: about the Bills, the draft, the league at large, what's

376
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: going on with the rest of free agency, whatever you

377
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: have in mind, or your general questions about life, We'll

378
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: try those two. I'm not going to pretend to be

379
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: dear Abbey or have all the answers like Oprah or something.

380
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: But if you have those as well, hey, we'll do

381
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: our best and maybe have a little fun with it

382
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: along the way. So let's crack open the mail bag

383
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: now and we begin with Connor has two questions. Question

384
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: number two, we've been talking about this guy. He says,

385
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: do we really think Bean drafts are running back this year?

386
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: Cook has shown he has what it takes in my opinion?

387
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: And two, in Maddie's latest Draft Watch, there was a

388
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: trade up with Seattle to draft Nolan Smith. Why don't

389
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: your guys take on that? As always go Bills? All right?

390
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: So question one, do we really think Bean drafts are

391
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: running back this year? All right? Let's talk about what

392
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: they do have at running back right now. They've got

393
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: James Cook, They've got niham Hines that they've got Damien Harris.

394
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Reggie Gilliam is a fullback. You can put him in

395
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: that room as well. They carried five with Taiwan So

396
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: who did not resign this year as a free agent. Yeah,

397
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: he's still a free agent. Is that somebody that they

398
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: do bring back later? What? I do think there is

399
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: one more spot to fill in the running back room. Yeah,

400
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: where is it going to definitely for training camp, yes, definitely,

401
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: maybe two. I would say two for training camp. Yeah.

402
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: I would say if they draft a running back, it's

403
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: going to be no earlier than round three. That would

404
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: be my assumption, and it might be really late, who knows,

405
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: it could or it could be round six and then

406
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: an undrafted guy. I think those are the possibilities. We

407
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: also saw the report that Latavius Murray, you know, met

408
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: with the Bills free agent visit what have you. So

409
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: it's almost like they're kind of preparing themselves post draft

410
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: if they don't come out of the draft with a

411
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: running back. But I think they'll add one either towards

412
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: the back half of the draft or an undrafted free

413
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: agency with a rookie. Yep, I'm bought in on that.

414
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: I could definitely see them doing that. I think where

415
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: the position group is out right now, you're going to

416
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: add one or two more, and I think one one

417
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: more will be on the roster. Yeah. The second question

418
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith, there was a mock draft in one of

419
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: the mock draft watches that Maddy put together on Buffalo

420
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: bills dot Com that had the Bills trading up I'm

421
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: assuming to pick twenty. Yeah, it was to pick twenty.

422
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: They traded away their third round pick to get up

423
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: to pick twenty. And I want to check and see

424
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: how many times Nolan Smith has been mocked to the

425
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: While you do that, I am going to say that

426
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith is a major talent bendy edge rusher. There

427
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: are some who believe though, that he's too he's too

428
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: light in the pants to be a four three defensive end.

429
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: I think it only goes about two thirty five and

430
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: it's hard to play up on the line at that

431
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: size in a four to three. So a lot of

432
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: people are of the opinion that he is a better

433
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: fit as a three four outside linebacker where you can

434
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: stand him up on the line of scrimmage and have

435
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: him go get the quarterback. And he has shown that

436
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: he does have the athleticism to you know, drop and

437
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: cover in the short areas. Anyway, in the few instances

438
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: where he was asked to do that. But I think

439
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: the only reason that Nolan Smith isn't considered a better

440
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: prospect than say a will Anderson, and some people even

441
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: have Tyree Wilson ahead of him and Lucas van Ness

442
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: is because he's probably only a true scheme fit for

443
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: a three four defense. Now that doesn't mean that some

444
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: team that plays a four three wouldn't fall in love

445
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: with him and say, oh, he'll be fine, but kind

446
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: of think that he's just a little too. I mean,

447
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: he's two hundred and thirty eight pounds and also he's

448
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: six two, so I don't know if that works up

449
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage with your hand on the ground,

450
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: especially against the run and setting the engine everything. Yeah,

451
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: I think he works best. He worked best in a

452
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 1: three four at Georgia, where they would put him up

453
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: on the line and he could go after the quarterback,

454
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: and he did a great job of doing that. But

455
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: I think there's some the techniques and just playing in

456
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: a new defense. He'd be playing in a four three

457
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: defense here really two linebackers on the field because they

458
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: play in Nickels so much, but you'd have to adjust.

459
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: And I look at our defensive line and what we

460
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: have and how we do lack size in certain places

461
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: on the defensive line depending on who's who are the

462
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: four on the line. And I think with a guy

463
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: like Nolan Smith, who is six two and two thirty eight,

464
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: I would want somebody with more size. Greg Russo, he's

465
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: got the height, but he's a He's yeah, he's two

466
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: sixty five. He's got the length, he's got the height.

467
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: You look at Von Miller as well, he's got the height,

468
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: he's got the length as two sixty. Boogie Basham's two

469
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: sixty five, Jack Lawson's two sixty. And even with the

470
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: guys who are two sixty, there are times where they're

471
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: getting pushed around two. So to think about a guy

472
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: who's two thirty eight and is a rookie and who

473
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: knows if he's going to be a starter or whatnot.

474
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're drafting him that high, you would

475
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: obviously want him to play a role on your team

476
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: in his first season. But I see what we have,

477
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: and I see how sometimes it is hard on our

478
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: guys and they are thirty pounds heavier, twenty five pounds

479
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: heavier than Nolan Smith, And I wonder is that going

480
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: to work in the NFL. Is that going to work

481
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: in a four three defense? Who knows? Maybe a team

482
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: really likes what he has on tape and maybe they

483
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: do anticipate getting him to a higher playing weight. Is

484
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: six two gonna push you off that much? I don't know.

485
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: I also I also think, and I know he's on

486
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: the edge, but I also think of somebody like at

487
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: Oliver who's undersized for his position, and how hard it

488
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: has been for him at times, and how he needs

489
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: a true space eater next to him. So I don't

490
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: know if I would trade up to number twenty and

491
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: go get him with the defense that the Bills play. Yeah,

492
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: it's a long way of us saying I don't know

493
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: that he's a scheme fit for what the Bills do.

494
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: So take the mock draft with a grain of salt.

495
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty the number to get on

496
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: board one eight five fifty two five fifty the toll

497
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 1: free number. Got an open line for you there. If

498
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: you've got a question you want to submit for the

499
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: OBL Friday fan mail bag. Jess on the tweet sheet

500
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: asks do you think the Aaron Rodgers to the Jets

501
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: deal is going to happen? I think it probably will.

502
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: But if we're getta handy, are you less sure of

503
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: it happening now than you were a month ago or

504
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: when this all began. This is hard for me because

505
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: I've seen the Jets foul things up in spectacular fashion

506
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: for over forty years, and I believe whether they make

507
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: the trade or don't make the trade, they're still going

508
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: to find a way to screw it up. And Rogers,

509
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: to me, is a polarizing figure. And he look, don't

510
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: get me wrong, supreme talent. I've said many times he

511
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: is the most accurate quarterback I have ever seen in

512
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: my life. With the throws that he can make. He

513
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: is a dynamic talent. But he's also a freaking headcase,

514
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: or as Steve says, he's a wild donkey. So if

515
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: he goes to the team, I think it might be

516
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: great early, but I could just going up in a

517
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: ball of flames. New York media pressure the whole thing,

518
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: and then if it doesn't happen, it's def Con five.

519
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: Like in New York. It's just I can see the papers.

520
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: It would be horrifically spectacular. There is a way to

521
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: screw it up, because all you need to do is

522
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: basically say you know you're him and in hang with

523
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: the Packers long enough, and some other team picks up

524
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: the phone and says, hey, look, if you've had it

525
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: with the Jets and the way they're yanking you around,

526
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: we'll do it for this. What do you say? And

527
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: Brian Gudencous might be just like, screw it, let's do it.

528
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't take much. And we've already heard

529
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: rumors of the forty nine ers calling them up and saying, hey,

530
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: if you're having problems, we'd be happy to talk with you.

531
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: Let us know what it's going to take. And you know,

532
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: maybe Gudencous said, well, yeah, I might get back to you.

533
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: I'll let you know in a week. There's a way

534
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: for the Jets to still screw this up, and as

535
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: long as that possibility exists, I think it could get

536
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: screwed up. We haven't heard much over the last couple

537
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: of weeks, and if we have her any heard anything,

538
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: it's been they're still very far away from making this happen,

539
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: digging their heels in and you gotta stale. And if

540
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: that's the case, all we've heard is this needs to

541
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: happen before the draft because they want draft picks this

542
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: year and next year. They don't just want them all

543
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: next year. We've got two weeks until the draft. People. Yeah,

544
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: are we going to hear much in the next two weeks.

545
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: It hasn't been much at all yet, So deadline, I

546
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Deadlines have a way of making things happen.

547
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: They spur people to action. So when does this probably happen?

548
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: Probably Tuesday or Wednesday before the draft, yea, if it happens, Yeah,

549
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: it's probably Tuesday or Wednesday before the draft. Might even

550
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: be day of Who the heck knows because both sides,

551
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: at least according to the National porters digging their heels in.

552
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up this, I'm not giving up that

553
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: or whatever. Someone's going to blink and whoever it is,

554
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: we'll find out in due course. But we're probably looking

555
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: at Tuesday or Wednesday before the draft when something happens

556
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: and goes down. You remember the Rogers news came out

557
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. What the heck was that

558
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: Rogers news? That schefter broke. It was like moments before

559
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: the first pick and Rogers had some news. What the

560
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: heck was it? Now it was either that he signed

561
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: an extension or it was something else. I'm gonna have

562
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: to go look it up, but I still remember Schefter

563
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: sitting on the set of the draft and it's like, oh,

564
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: we're getting ready for the first pick, and it's like

565
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: the Rogers news machine, you know, tries to steal thunder again.

566
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: It's Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady who like to do that. Yeah,

567
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: we will take a break here, but phone calls next.

568
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,360

585
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: got for us? Jeff, you're on one bills live. Okay, Hi, guys, um,

586
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm wondering how I mean, I'm of the understanding that, uh,

587
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: Sean Sean mcdermot's gonna be calling plays on defense this year? Correct?

588
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: And is he you know, is he you know, locked

589
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: into a four three defense and he locked into you know,

590
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: having five defensive backs on the field. I mean, is

591
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: he gonna have the same defense essentially that Leslie Frasier

592
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: had or are he going to bring something new to

593
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: the table? And uh, and we don't know what they're

594
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: going to draft then or what you know, I mean,

595
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: what's gonna what are they going to be looking at

596
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 1: if it's going to be different? Right, that's my question. Okay,

597
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Jeff, appreciate it. This is Sean

598
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: mcdermot's defense. I mean, Leslie Frasier was running Sean mcdermot's

599
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: defense that he believes in and tried in true fashion.

600
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: And while I don't think it will look exactly the same.

601
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: The core principles and rules of this defense will remain

602
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: the same. That is not changing. There's not going to

603
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: be an overhaul of sorts, and there's good reason for that.

604
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: This defense has been pretty darn good. It's ranked high.

605
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: It's been in the top five against the pass for

606
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: probably four of the last five years and has been

607
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: number one twice. It's been number two in points allowed,

608
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: number one in points allowed in two of the last

609
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: three seasons. So it's been a very successful defense. There

610
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: are some deficiencies. I don't think anybody would debate that,

611
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the reasons why Sean

612
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: McDermott has taken the bull by the horns and he's

613
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna call plays because I think he believes there are

614
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: some ways that he can call it and make it better.

615
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: And Shaun has said when he was speaking at owners meetings,

616
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: when he said that he was going to call the defense,

617
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: he said, you know, everybody has their own style, their

618
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: own pizzazz that they add to a defense, not necessarily

619
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: meaning that they're going to change to a four three

620
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: defense versus or changed two A three four defenses versus

621
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: a four three, but there could be different things that

622
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: we see in this defense that just as more of

623
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott style. He said, Leslie Fraser had his own style.

624
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: Everybody has their own style of how they call the plays,

625
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: of how they use certain guys, maybe, of how they're

626
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: blitzing and the type of blitz as they use, things

627
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: like that. But this defense is gonna look very similar

628
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: because it has been, like you said, it has been

629
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: so good. And if you look if you look at

630
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: when Sean McDermott came in, and you look at categories

631
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: like passing, touchdowns allowed, passing yards allowed, interceptions, forced turnovers,

632
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: they rank number one, in number two and almost every

633
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: single category since Sean McDermott walked into Buffalo, right. And

634
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, we heard Ron Rivera say it because he

635
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: was asked at the NFL Combine when he spoke to

636
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: the media there, Hey, you know, Leslie Frasier's not with

637
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: the Bills this year, what do you expect from the defense?

638
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: And Ron Rivera said, well, if Sean's calling it, I

639
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: would expect it to be more aggressive. So the way

640
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: in which the defense is called might change, but the

641
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: scheme itself not going to change. Eight oh three five

642
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty number

643
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: to get on board if you have a question for

644
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: us in the OBL Friday fan mailbag. But let's go

645
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet and International Smith asks does

646
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: bash him add weight and move inside to defensive tackle?

647
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: Also during the championship window, Josh Allen hasn't been paired

648
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: with a first round pick on offense. Will that change

649
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: this year? All right, let's do the first one. Does

650
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: bash him add weight and move inside to defensive tackle?

651
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening, only because of what he

652
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: was asked to do last year, which was get lighter. Ever,

653
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: he came into camp and he said, you know, I'm

654
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: I'm trying to play it under two sixty five for

655
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: the first time in my career. And then we asked him,

656
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 1: where'd you play at last year? He's like two seventy four,

657
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: and I was like, holy cow, we're talking like ten

658
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: twelve pound difference here. They were trying to make him lighter,

659
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: not heavier. Yeah, they have him listed as two seventy four.

660
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: Who knows if they updated that in the last couple

661
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: of seasons, but yeah, if the case was to make

662
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: him lighter, I don't see them then asking him to

663
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: add on a lot of pounds to switch to the inside.

664
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: I think you fill that void. If you believe you

665
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: have a void on the inside, you fill it through

666
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: free agency or the draft, not current guys that are

667
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: on your roster and are playing in different positions. Second question,

668
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hasn't been paired with a first round pick

669
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: on offense. Will that change this year? I think there's

670
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: a chance, but there are no guarantees when you're picking

671
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I mean you could say, oh, yeah, we

672
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: like these two receivers, and we like these two offensive tackles,

673
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: and this tight ends really good. We like those guys.

674
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: What if none of them are on the board when

675
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: you pick at twenty seven and the best value for

676
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: you is a defensive player, Well you're gonna take a

677
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: defensive player. So I think they'd like to do that,

678
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: But the chances of it are a complete roll of

679
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: the dice because you know what's gonna happen in the

680
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: twenty six picks in front of you, and with offensive weapons,

681
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: I feel like teams get excited early on and they

682
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: start taking those players before the late twenties. Who knows

683
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: if these wide receivers will even be available. Yeah, I

684
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: could get really excited about a tight end at twenty

685
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: seven if if the best ones are still available of

686
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: the bunch, I would love that for this offense. That'd

687
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. Yeah, so yeah, it's possible, But you

688
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: got to see what happens in front of them first,

689
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: and that'll probably paint the picture a little bit more

690
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: of actively rick on the mail bag, he asks. Last year,

691
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: Washington running back JD. McKissick agreed to a free agent

692
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: deal with the Bills, then went back to Washington. The

693
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: Commanders released him a few weeks ago. Any chance Brandon

694
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: being signs him, brings him in for training camp? Where

695
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: is he's still upset after the way Washington resigned him. Yeah,

696
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: that was that was not exactly on the level in

697
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: terms of how things go down last year when McKissick

698
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: was pulled back to Washington by the Commanders. But after

699
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: that happened, Brandon being in the personnel department pivoted. They

700
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: drafted James Cook, who has kind of got the exact

701
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: same skill set as a JD. McKissick. You also have

702
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: nihiem Hinz here, which wasn't the case. You know when

703
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: you try to acquire JD. McKissick and free agency. So

704
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: I think the complexion of the running back room is

705
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: such where you could say, we already have a couple

706
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: of people with similar skill sets to j. D. McKissick.

707
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: Probably don't need him. They wanted somebody like Jad McKissick.

708
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: They try to go after him and it didn't work out,

709
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: and then they signed guys that were like him. So

710
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: I think they already have those skills set, that those

711
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: traits that's already on the roster thankfully for this team. Yeah,

712
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: so I don't think they really need to sign him.

713
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. We go to John

714
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Next, John wyguffer Us. You're all one Bill's life. Yeah,

715
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering what the future holds for Cole Beasley.

716
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll stay with the team or let go?

717
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: I'll hang off and listen to your answer. All right,

718
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: thanks John. He is a free agent. He is not

719
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: under contract with the Bills right now, and I think

720
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna turn thirty four this year, if he hasn't

721
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: already yet, he'll turn thirty four the day before the draft.

722
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: And while it was good to see him back, and

723
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: I think he helped in some capacity. I think if

724
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: you look at the makeup of the receivers on the

725
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 1: roster right now, they have options to play the slot

726
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: receiver role, whether you want to put Deonte Hardy in there,

727
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir in there. I think there are players that

728
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: can line up in there and do that or perform

729
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: that role, maybe not in the same way that Cole

730
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: Beasley did. And I think the other thing too, Maddie,

731
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: is I think they're really trying to make a concerted

732
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: effort to get more yards after the catch, and I

733
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: think Beasley was more of a get open, get you

734
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: six or seven yards, maybe move the sticks on a

735
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: third and short and take it from there. There wasn't

736
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: a lot of run after the catch with Beasley. I

737
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: think they're trying to get more from that role in

738
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: that capacity. I think the addition of Beasley to this

739
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: roster this past season was an addition of Hey, we're

740
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: heading into the postseason. There's a void on this roster.

741
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: We need somebody to fill it. We need to trust

742
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: this person that's going to fill this void. Hey, let's

743
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: bring back a player like Cole Beasley who has been

744
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: the security blanket for Josh Allen when he was a

745
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: younger quarterback. I think we're past that time now. And

746
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: I also look at the players and the younger players

747
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: on this roster with the age that Cole Beasley is,

748
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: it's time to pour into those younger players. It's time

749
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: to develop those younger players. It's time for it's time

750
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: to give them a shot to where they can be

751
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: the in the starting slot role on this roster. We

752
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but Pat Orchard Park,

753
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,680

00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. I was just wondering if

764
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: you thought that the six billion dollars for the Washington

765
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: team is a righteous dollar amount, seeing that Buffalo was

766
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: one third of price in the contention of the year

767
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: and Washington seems to struggle. I know they're a larger market,

768
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: but is it really worth six billions? That team really

769
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: worth six billion dollars? Yeah, I just wondered what your

770
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: take on that is? So good, good question, Pat, thanks

771
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: for the call. I'll say this, number one, the value

772
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: of professional sports teams has been skyrocketing. That's number one.

773
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: Number two, Yes, the Washington Commander's franchise routinely is one

774
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: of the top three in terms of total value on

775
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: the Forbes list, so that played a factor in the

776
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: asking price. And the Walton Penner Group just paid four

777
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: point six billion last year for the Denver Bronco, smaller

778
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: market team, And I don't really think it has to

779
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: do with the team's success on the field as much

780
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: as market size, revenue, the amount of money you can

781
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: charge for tickets and all that other stuff. So six

782
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: billion might seem like an exorbitant figure for regular Joe's

783
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: like us, but that's where it's going. There's a lot

784
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: of English Premier League teams in the Soccer league in

785
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: England that have been up for sale in the last

786
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: two years, and they're going for around the same amount

787
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: of money, anywhere from five to seven billion dollars because

788
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: that's the only league in the world. Maybe La Liga

789
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: in a couple of instances in the Spanish league that

790
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: come close to the valuation of NFL teams. So six

791
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: billions a fat number, but it doesn't shock me. I

792
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but no I would because of

793
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: the market size. That's when I saw that number. Oh okay,

794
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: that makes sense for where they're at in the market size.

795
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: With where they're at, it does make you think, though,

796
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: if the bills were to ever be sold down the

797
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: road far to I'm not talking in the next few years,

798
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: but maybe in the next thirty. I'm just making up

799
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: a number here, like, what are teams going to be

800
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: world in the next twenty to thirty years. I mean,

801
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 1: the league is always good about creating new revenue streams

802
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: to add to their value, so I mean, on their

803
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: current track, I mean, it's probably going to be It's

804
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,959
Speaker 1: hard to say where it would be, but I would

805
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: say you're talking probably in the neighborhood of thirty billion

806
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: by then. Gosh, I mean, it's just thirty years from

807
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: say yeah billion with a B. It's bananas. Let's go

808
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: to Mark in West Seneca next. What you got first? Mark? Oh,

809
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: good afternoon, how are you doing today? Good? I just

810
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: wanted to chime in on this talk about tight end

811
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: first round draft pick and what a horrible to me,

812
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: what a horrible idea that is, just because these tight

813
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: ends have are determined to be really good talents. For

814
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: these reasons why I think it's horrible. Number one, we

815
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: already have a really really good tight end who I

816
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: believe could be even ranked higher through the league if

817
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: we use them properly, which I don't believe we do.

818
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: We just gave him a contract, a lucrative contract last year.

819
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: If we go to a second tight end at a

820
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: position where it's pretty well known players developed slower, So

821
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: now we're going to have a guy on the field

822
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: who isn't if we do use them, isn't really developing

823
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: that fast. We're going to have to change the scheme

824
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: of the offense. We've never been a two tight end team,

825
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: and to use it once in a while or something

826
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: as a change of pace. That's not what you draft

827
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: a first round player for. You draft him to be

828
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: on the field all the time, so there's no level

829
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: other than the guy that you possibly would draft being

830
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: a talented guy at his position. Makes any sense to

831
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: draft a tight end number one this year, especially when

832
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: we have needs at what everybody says, wide receiver, need

833
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: at mill linebacker need, offensive linemen. We have possession positions

834
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: we need to fill long before we would even think

835
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: about a tight end in my estimation. So I pray

836
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: that they don't go down that road. Thank you, guys.

837
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good argument. Mark, I get

838
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I will say this because you know

839
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: a name that we have thrown around here on the

840
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: show a lot, as the kid from Georgia, Darnell Washington,

841
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: who is an absolute athletic freak at about almost six seven,

842
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five pounds, and the general consensus

843
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: is he could be there at twenty seven. Now there

844
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: seems to be a little more doubt that he will

845
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: be super talented kid. You're concerned about time on the field,

846
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 1: changing the offense. The Bill's use of twelve personnel last

847
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: season increased, not to the point where is their most

848
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: popular formation. But I think if you have a player

849
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: like Darnell Washington on your roster, you would play more

850
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: two tight end sets. But this guy unquestionably would help

851
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: you in the run game immediately. And number two, I

852
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: think he would make your red zone offense almost unstoppable. Yeah,

853
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: just lining him and Dawson knocks up two receivers out

854
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: wide in a back in the backfield and Josh at quarterback.

855
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, have luck, good luck cover and all that,

856
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: and it could just be a power run. You know.

857
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: You line them up on either side of the formation,

858
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: you bring Washington over to the other side right next

859
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: to Dawson, knocks you overloaded over there, and you run

860
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: Josh behind them on a quarterback sweep. I mean, you're

861
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: winning with that kid. So I think there are a

862
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: lot of arguments for him. You made some pretty good

863
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: arguments against it. I just know that Brandon Being historically

864
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: in Round one looks for elite athletic traits players that

865
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: have rare measurables, whether it's speed, height, weight, you know,

866
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: leaping ability, whatever it is. This guy's got all of

867
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: them in spades. So to me, he fits the elite

868
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: athletic trade profile that Brandon Being usually looks for. They

869
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: brought a guy onto the roster last year in Oj Howard.

870
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: He did not end up making the final roster. But

871
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: you bring a guy like that and with the intention

872
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: to run more twelve personnel. Yeah, they did that last season.

873
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: They did not have an Oj Howard type player. I'm

874
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: more speaking to how he played in college football. I

875
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: know he dealt with a lot of injuries, but they

876
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: added him with the intention to do more twelve personnel.

877
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: You have one of the best tight end classes that

878
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: you've had in a long long time. These are first

879
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: round picks. They do not need to develop too much

880
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: because they're going to be able to go in and

881
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: play right away because they have those first round grades,

882
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: because of what they did in college football, because of

883
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: the immeasurables, because of their size. Why wouldn't you want

884
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: to have that on the field. Give Josh Allen another

885
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: guy to throw too, Give Josh Allen more protection. That

886
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: diversifies this offense immensely. Oh and also what about the

887
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: opposing defenses. It is so hard to match up against

888
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: tight ends in this league, really good tight ends. You

889
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: put two really good tight ends on the field at

890
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: the same time. That spells out trouble for an opposing defense, well,

891
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: because you're more unpredictable with a guy that can block

892
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: in the run game and you know, make some catches

893
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and somebody like Darnell Washington does

894
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: that one statistic to throw at you. Last year, in

895
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, the Bills ranked second in the league in

896
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: yards per carry and fourth in the league in yards

897
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: per play. So, I mean it's there's been some success

898
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: there and it was without ideal personnel on the field.

899
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: So if you get a guy that you think can

900
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: make a difference in that area and you feel you

901
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: can take that personnel grouping to the next level in

902
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: the next iteration of your offense, I think you're probably

903
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: gonna at least consider it. We got to take a

904
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: break here because our number two on a Friday belongs

905
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: to the one and only Greg Cosell, senior producer from

906
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: NFL Films. We're going to talk receivers with him some

907
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: of the prospects that are more likely to be found

908
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: day two, rounds two and three when we come back

909
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live presented by Kalata Health, It's

910
00:51:49,239 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. These One Bill's Live presented by Call

911
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: Light of Health. We have a reservation for one at

912
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: two pm on Friday, and it belongs to senior producer

913
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: from NFL Films, Greg Cosel, who joins us now to

914
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: talk receivers. And maybe half of this group will not

915
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: be hearing their name called until day two. We'll get

916
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: into that in just to second. But Greg, good to

917
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: have you. You're ready to roll here? Well, yeah, they

918
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: told me Mandy was on, so I decided to wear

919
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 1: a collared shirt. Oh yeah, looking good. Let's begin with

920
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: guys that we're kind of expecting to go a little

921
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: bit earlier. I know we've talked to you in the

922
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: past about Jordan Addison, the pit player who transfers to

923
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: USC and, oh, by the way, makes it like one

924
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,479
Speaker 1: point two million in name, image and likeness money while

925
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: he's out there in California. Good move there business wise.

926
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: But here's the prevailing question that I hear more than

927
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: anything Greg, about all of these receivers that may not

928
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: be that big in stature. How is this guy gonna

929
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: do against press and the bigger corners in the league.

930
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: So let's tackle that with Jordan Addison's skill set specifically. Yeah,

931
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 1: and I think generally though, just as a quick comment, Brownie,

932
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: I think the league has evolved into offensively is you

933
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: see a lot more motion, a lot more formation variation

934
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: to try to get smaller receivers in terms of weight

935
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: away from press coverage. But I would say that he

936
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: did a very good job, specifically with Addison, defeating press

937
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: coverage when he did face it, he did it with

938
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: short area quickness, he did it with burst. He did

939
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: not allow press to disrupt his route timing. Now that's

940
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: college football, of course, in the Pac twelve, but that's

941
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: all we have to go on. So the point is

942
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: is he had a plan, and I think the first

943
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: thing you have to have is a plan of how

944
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: you're going to go about beating it, because you can't

945
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: just line up and say, g I'm going to run

946
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: through it. But a lot of these guys are going

947
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: to play in different splits. Tighter splits tend to often

948
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: mitigate against press coverage. Motion gives you free access more

949
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: often than not, and I think that's what you're seeing

950
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: in the league as a whole. He had that incredible

951
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: year with Pitt than transferred to USC numbers were not

952
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: the same. Was he used in a different way at

953
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 1: USC versus Pitt. And how do you see maybe one

954
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 1: of those years teams should pick apart that and try

955
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: and use that with him in his first year in

956
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: his NFL career. Yeah, man, I don't think that'll be

957
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: a big issue. You know, obviously he did have He

958
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: was clearly the number one target at Pitt when Kenny

959
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: Pickett was there, and he won the Bullet Nicoff Award

960
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: as the nation's top receiver. The way that the offense

961
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: was at USC was a little different. They you know,

962
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: with a lot more better receivers throughout, so the numbers

963
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: were not there. But I think you have to look

964
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: at the player. I mean, and it's interesting what Brownie

965
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: said because Addison may not be big, but I think

966
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: he plays bigger than his size. I think he aggressively

967
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: attacks the ball in the air. He made tough, contested

968
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: catches that demanded not only concentration but body control on

969
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: strong hands. He's really smooth and fluid. While he's not

970
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: a burner, I think because he knows how to run routes,

971
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: he can be a vertical dimension. So to me, he

972
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: can run multiple routes at all three levels. You can

973
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: use them on screens, you can use them on jet reverses.

974
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: He'll play in the slot as well, so he has

975
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: inside outside versatility. Okay, let's go from one receiver who's

976
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: diminutive in stature to another, Josh Downs down at North Carolina,

977
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: who I thought, you know, nobody can catch this guy? Yeah?

978
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: Or fine, you know, he's like he'll shake you out

979
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: of your shoes in a phone booth kind of. That's

980
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: his short area quickness. It's very impressive. Yeah. But you

981
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: hear a lot of people say slot only, and again

982
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: we're coming back to the size issue. And I mean

983
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: he's maxed out. He's not even five nine, No, he's

984
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: five nine one seventy one. And I think that slot

985
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: only becomes a function and of team and scheme. You know.

986
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: I think if he was on the Chiefs, he wouldn't

987
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: be slot only because of the way they use their receivers.

988
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: So I think that becomes team and scheme. Um. But

989
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: you you are one hundred percent right, brownie. This guy

990
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: is explosive. He's twitchy, he's sudden in his movement. He's

991
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: terrific run after catch. He's a great accelerator. He can

992
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: stop and start instantly. He needs space. And that's that's

993
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: the key thing here is you know you talked about press.

994
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: You're not going to put him in situations for the

995
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: most part where he's likely to be pressed. You know,

996
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: he's not going to be the boundary X, the single

997
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: receiver to the short side of the field. He's not

998
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: going to be that guy. That guy often gets pressed.

999
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: So you want to give him free access. You want

1000
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: to have him catch the ball on the move, so

1001
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: the run after catch traits, which are really high level,

1002
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: can be utilized. I mean, this guy goes from zero

1003
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: to sixty in a heartbeat. He's really good in the

1004
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: open field. So you want to give him space. That's

1005
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: how you want to use realize him in the context

1006
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: of your offense. And then a guy like Jalen Hyatt.

1007
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: He's six feet tall, one seventy six. He was a

1008
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: first team All American last season, really lit it up

1009
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: for Tennessee last years when he put his best tape

1010
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: together win off against Alabama, and that Alabama game, he

1011
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: was incredible, had several touchdowns in that game. But you

1012
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: look at a player like him and you see what

1013
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: he did at Tennessee and it was like he had

1014
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: a few routes that were his go to routes. How

1015
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: does that translate in the NFL? Yeah, man, you know,

1016
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: that's a great question because that question is being talked

1017
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: about with Hendon Hooker as well, because that was almost

1018
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: a pure air raid offense, which was that no huddle

1019
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: fest tempo. Those really wide splits you know, very often

1020
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: you saw on each side of the formation two wide

1021
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: receivers outside the numbers. So those with that kind of formation,

1022
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: you're not pressed, so we had free access. He is

1023
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: clearly explosive vertically. He's got accelerating, deep speed and he's

1024
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: got such a gliding feel to his movement. So I

1025
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: know that he only ran a four four at the

1026
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: combine where people were talking about him running a four

1027
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: to three, not that four four is slow, But there's

1028
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: no question on tape he plays fast vertically, and that's

1029
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: every team wants that kind of speed because it changes

1030
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: how defenses play. Now, there are certain things you did

1031
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: not see on tape due to the nature of that offense,

1032
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: and then you start getting into the projection part. He

1033
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: did not face press coverage. He did not really run

1034
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: after catch because when he caught the ball, run after

1035
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: catch to me is not catching the ball when you're

1036
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: wide open and there's no one in front of you.

1037
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: Run after catches when you actually have to break down

1038
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: and beat people, whether through shiftiness, elusiveness, or competitiveness or toughness.

1039
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: He would catch the ball, there'd be nobody there and

1040
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: he would just run. So that to me, he's not

1041
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: run after catch, but pure speed, explosive vertical ability, that's

1042
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: what he has, all right. So moving along to another guy,

1043
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: diminutive in stature, Tyler Scott at Cincinnati, largely seen as

1044
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: a Day two prospect. The guy is fast. He ran

1045
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: AAU track as a high school kid. So what can

1046
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 1: we say about him and where does his size factor

1047
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: into his game, either as a positive or negative. Well,

1048
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: he's one hundred and seventy seven pounds, and again he's

1049
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: another guy who's vertical speed and explosiveness shows up on tape,

1050
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: and that's that's where you start. But I thought there

1051
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: was a little more to this kid. I thought that

1052
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: this kid had a sense of how to run some routes.

1053
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: I thought he worked the middle of the field. I

1054
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: thought he tracked the ball really well. You know, again,

1055
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: he fits today's NFL. You have the tunnel screen the

1056
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: bubble screens, the screens, the jet sweeps. You know, obviously

1057
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: he's thin framed like the other guys as well. Yeah,

1058
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and that's what you get with, you know, with these guys.

1059
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: But you're talking speed and vertical ability. Uh, you know,

1060
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: I really liked his tape. Now, he lined up pretty

1061
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: much outside the numbers on almost every play. So now

1062
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: obviously you're going to have to teach him different splits,

1063
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: different different places to line up within your formation. But

1064
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: that's somewhat common with college, where a lot of guys

1065
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: do not move around, a lot of receivers line up

1066
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: in one place pretty much consistently. And I know he

1067
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: had success, you know as a return man as well.

1068
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: What did you watch any return tape or you just

1069
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: watch receiver tape right now? I just watched his receiver tape. Okay,

1070
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: fair enough. So then there's Marvin Mims Junior out of Oklahoma,

1071
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and he's got more average size five eleven one eighty three.

1072
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: But the thing about him what stands out is his

1073
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: ability to make and create explosive plays. Because he ran

1074
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: a four to three eight. This guy is fast on tape.

1075
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: What's his potential in the NFL? Yeah, I mean, I

1076
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: think he's essentially similar. I mean, he's a smooth, fluid,

1077
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: vertical receiver. You want to get him the ball on

1078
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the move, so you want movement routes like go routes,

1079
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: seam routes, crossers overs. I mean, that's what Marvin Mims is.

1080
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: He can line up outside, he can line up in

1081
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: the slot. I think he's mentally tough. I think he's competitive.

1082
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,479
Speaker 1: I think he worked the middle of the field really well.

1083
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: He did that much more in twenty twenty and twenty

1084
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: twenty one than he did in twenty twenty two, where

1085
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: they had a different offense. But you know, he probably

1086
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: lacks the physical frame to work consistently between the numbers

1087
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: and inside the hashes. Another guy that's probably more of

1088
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: a space receiver. You know, he's probably a slot or

1089
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: a Z meaning off the ball. You know, get him

1090
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: in motion, get him free access, maximize his accelerating speed.

1091
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: What the question becomes two three years down the road,

1092
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: can he be more than that? We'll see, you know,

1093
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: you don't really know the answer to that. One of

1094
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: the things that was really interesting this year watching his

1095
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: tape is he caught a lot of long touchdowns that

1096
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: came on bust by the defense. So he was just

1097
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: running totally free, right, And that's another guy that offers

1098
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: some return experience. He did some punt reti at Oklahoma

1099
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: as well. Jaden Reid a little bit bulkier. I mean,

1100
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: it's crazy that we're saying one eighty seven is one

1101
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: of the bigger guys of the guys we've talked about here.

1102
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: But there he is. Jaden Reid five almost five eleven,

1103
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: one eighty seven, you know, transferred from Central Michigan or

1104
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Western Michigan to Michigan State and you know, had a

1105
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: big twenty twenty one season, didn't quite match it last

1106
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: year due to an injury and some other things. But

1107
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: what can you say about this guy and how might

1108
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: he be different, if at all, from some of the others.

1109
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: I guess brown he better go on a diet to

1110
01:03:54,880 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: get down to like one in eighty And you know,

1111
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I think that the thing that he brings that I

1112
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: think is really good is run after catch, you know,

1113
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: because this guy's naturally quick. That shows up both as

1114
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: a route runner and run after catch, and that I

1115
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: think is where you know, you really see what he is.

1116
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: He's very elusive in space, He's got to make you

1117
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: miss ability. You know, he had a terrific year in

1118
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one twenty twenty two. You know, when a

1119
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: guy has a lesser year, it's not necessarily a function.

1120
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: He didn't lose his traits. You know, their offense as

1121
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: a whole was just not as good in twenty twenty

1122
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: two as it was in twenty twenty one. You know,

1123
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: the questions you might have about him is can he

1124
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: catch through contact? You know still you know he's still

1125
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: one eighty seven, that's not two hundred, so but he

1126
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: certainly can run by people at times. He did that

1127
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: in college, so we'll see, you know, but he's he's

1128
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: another guy that has returned ability. But he does have

1129
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: good play speed. I think there's a vertical dimension to

1130
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: his game. He did run away from college corners. So

1131
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, everybody we're talking about, we're talking about, as

1132
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: you said, guys who are lighter, quicker, faster vertical ability.

1133
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: You know, that's you know, there's always a place for

1134
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: vertical receivers. As you guys know in the NFL, Greg

1135
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about all these receivers, a lot of them

1136
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 1: being more day two picks rather than Day one picks.

1137
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: Do you believe that there could be some depth there

1138
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills to go after at Day one if

1139
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: they choose to go after a wide receiver. Do you

1140
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: think that depth really lives in the second round there? Well,

1141
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: I think Maddie that this year, I would say, based

1142
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: on tape study and also based on conversations I've had

1143
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: with some wide receivers coaches in the league, I don't

1144
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: think they view any receiver this year as being that

1145
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: true alpha dog in the sense of, you know, with

1146
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, So now it gets in the eye of

1147
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: the beholder. Probably the guy that's really fascinating is the

1148
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: first on this list that people are seeing, Jackson Smith Nijigba,

1149
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: who did not really play much in twenty twenty two,

1150
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: but in twenty twenty one, one hundred and four of

1151
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: his one hundred and thirteen targets came out of the slot.

1152
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: But he's almost six one in one ninety six, so

1153
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: he's not a small little slot receiver. And I'm not

1154
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: going to make an apples to apples comparison to Justin Jefferson,

1155
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: but that's what people talked about when Justin Jefferson came

1156
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: out of LSU he had something like ninety eight percent

1157
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: of his targets in his last year in college came

1158
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: out of the slot. And obviously we know he's done

1159
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: a little bit better in the NFL and lines up

1160
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: all over, and I think Smith Najigba at almost six

1161
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: to one and almost two hundred pounds does not have

1162
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: to be a slot only receiver in the NFL. And

1163
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: then Greg, you know, with all of these smaller in

1164
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: stature receivers, is this just the beginning of a wave

1165
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: of what we're going to see in the years or

1166
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: would you call this year an anomaly because there are

1167
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: no alpha dogs? It just seems like there's an inordinate

1168
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: number Yeah, smurf receivers this year. Yeah, I don't think

1169
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: we know the answer to that, but I think that,

1170
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, Brownie, because of the way NFL

1171
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: offense is sort of evolved. I mean, look at jaylen

1172
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Waddle in Miami. You know, you guys are very familiar

1173
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: with him, obviously, you know, I think the way offense

1174
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: has evolved with more formation, variation, more motion, guys lining

1175
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: up in different spots, including the backfield. I think the idea, look,

1176
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: everybody wants big and fast, but there's not. You know,

1177
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: you don't always get big and fast, Brownie. You know,

1178
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: everybody wants a lot of things. It doesn't always work

1179
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: in terms of traits and attributes. So I think smaller

1180
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: receivers there's an absolute place for them, and it becomes

1181
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: a function of the team and the scheme, and you're

1182
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: seeing more and more teams have to do these kinds

1183
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: of things schematically because you have to play with who's available,

1184
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: and not every six six two six three receiver is

1185
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: as good a prospect as some smaller receivers. You talked

1186
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: about the fact that there aren't really any alpha dogs,

1187
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: at least in the wide receiver class in this draft class,

1188
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: and we've heard that a lot too. Where the Bills

1189
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: sit at number twenty seven, do you believe there's a

1190
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: value position there that the Bills could go after at

1191
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven that might still be available, Well, Mannie, I

1192
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: think there's always someone to take that you're going to

1193
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 1: feel good about. And I think this year, more than ever,

1194
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be I of the beholder. I think

1195
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: this is the year, Maddie where a team could have

1196
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: a player fifteenth on their board and another team could

1197
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: have the same player forty fifth on their board. I

1198
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: think that's the way this draft is. So in terms

1199
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: of obviously the Bills are going to have their list

1200
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: of players that they would love to take a twenty seven.

1201
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get to twenty seven and all those players

1202
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: are gone. Sometimes you get to twenty seven and you

1203
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: know one or two of the most players are still there.

1204
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: You don't know that till it plays out. You try

1205
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: to figure that out in advance, and you try to

1206
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: have a strategy. Hey, if all the guys we want

1207
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: are gone, do we think of trading out? You know,

1208
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: because ultimately, you know, sometimes I feel like with each

1209
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: passing year, and I could be dead wrong that you know,

1210
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: everybody talks about value. This to me is an odd

1211
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: year for value because so many players will be in

1212
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: the eye of the beholder. And the reality is, as

1213
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: we all know, teams always talk about value and best

1214
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: player are available. But you've got a phil needs that's

1215
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the bottom line. You know, if you don't if you

1216
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: don't have players at certain positions. You guys know this.

1217
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: The coaches are limited in what they can do from

1218
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: a schematic and tactical standpoint, So it's always nice to say,

1219
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 1: let's draft the best player available, But you've got a

1220
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: phil needs. You have to line up with players on Sunday.

1221
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Last one I've got for you, Greg. You told us

1222
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: in previous conversations that you're big on Jonathan Mingo. Are

1223
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: there any other Are there any other guys that have

1224
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: kind of made your eye, made your eyebrows go up

1225
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: on your forehead in the time that you've watched film

1226
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: at the receiver position. Anybody else that caught your eye?

1227
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Maybe not to the degree of Mingo, but you say, oh,

1228
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: I kind of like what that guy has to offer

1229
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 1: anywhere in the draft. H Well, this guy I think

1230
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: will be gone before Mingo. But I love Zay Flowers.

1231
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: And again, who knows, you know, maybe he maybe he

1232
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: be gone, maybe he won't be gone. Um, but Zay

1233
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: Flowers is a receiver that I really liked on tape.

1234
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of some of the other receivers

1235
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: in this draft because I've seen, unfortunately, not unfortunately fortunately,

1236
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I've seen so many of them that I'm just trying

1237
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: to think of the names. I'm trying to I'm gonna

1238
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking. Oh, I tell you, receiver I really really

1239
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 1: liked um and he's different Xavier Hutchinson from Iowa State.

1240
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: I really liked his tape a lot um. You have

1241
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: to know what he is. I'll give you a great example.

1242
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: If I said to you Keenan Allen, you'd say he's

1243
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 1: a really good receiver when you yeah, okay, he was

1244
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: a third round pick. Now, Keenan Allen is a certain

1245
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: kind of receiver. You're not going to compare Keenan Allen

1246
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,759
Speaker 1: to Justin Jefferson or Jamaar Chase. He's not a burner,

1247
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,799
Speaker 1: he's not a vertical receiver. But he's a really really

1248
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: good receiver that is really good at what he is.

1249
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 1: Xavier Hutchinson to me, is very much like that. He's

1250
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: got good size, about six two two oh three, big

1251
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: time volume target Iowa State. He's very smooth, it catches everything.

1252
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: He was a receiver I really liked. Okay, he's expected

1253
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: to go late day two, early day three according to

1254
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: some projections that I've seen. We'll see if he goes

1255
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: higher based on that ringing endorsement from Greg Cos. We'll

1256
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: see what kind of bump. That doesn't mean he's gonna

1257
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: go higher. You don't believe it or not. Once in

1258
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: a while, it doesn't work out the way I see it. Right, Well,

1259
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see how the Cosell bump works here now

1260
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: now that we will stick that on the social media

1261
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: and see what happens. See if you can get much

1262
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: and send some love from some other teams NFL come

1263
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 1: Draft night on day two or three. Well, we'll see

1264
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: what happens. Hey, I got one right last year with

1265
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: James Cook for you guys. Yeah, listen, Greg, Thanks as always,

1266
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with your next Friday. All right, guys,

1267
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks all right. That's Greg co Sale, senior

1268
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 1: producer from NFL Films, also co host of ESPN's NFL

1269
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: Matchup Show. I always like to pick his brain a

1270
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: little bit because he watches. He has somebody that catches

1271
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 1: his eye. Well, now I'm gonna go watch. Yeah, I'm

1272
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: gonna go watch Javier Hunchons. Didn't see if he does

1273
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 1: leak Keenan Allen. But yeah, he's projected as a late

1274
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: day two, early day three pick. Ran a four or

1275
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: five three forty, so it makes sense that he's thinking

1276
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. He's kind of a possession type receiver, but

1277
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: he's got size. He's six two two oh three. He's

1278
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: like Gabe Davis big. So the more that I hear

1279
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: about some of the receivers that could be available on

1280
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: day two and what they could turn into in terms

1281
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: of potential and they're ceiling, the more that I'm down with.

1282
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: All Right, maybe maybe receiver on day two sounds like

1283
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: a good a good place for the Bills to go after,

1284
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: since some of these Day one guys might not be available,

1285
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: or maybe they don't have the grades. Maybe the Bills

1286
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: don't have the high grades on some of those guys

1287
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: that other teams might. Yeah, I'll be interested to see.

1288
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be broken up if they don't

1289
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 1: get a receiver round one, because I think there is

1290
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,839
Speaker 1: enough value on day two where you can still address

1291
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: it and get somebody that can hopefully help you sooner

1292
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: rather than later. It's Obel Fan Mailbag Friday. We're gonna

1293
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: go back to the phones here and squeeze a call

1294
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: in before the break. Tom and Buffalo has been waiting patiently.

1295
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: What do you got for his? Tom? Yeah, thank you

1296
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 1: folks for taking my call. But yeah, just about improving

1297
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 1: the defense. I still believe, strong believe that defense still lens.

1298
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: You could he would talk to Bruce Smiths about that

1299
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: about it to win games like that, and that's I

1300
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: respect that. Tom. What was the final score of the

1301
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year? Oh, I don't remember, but and

1302
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 1: maybe saved like von moorf like the last four games

1303
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,719
Speaker 1: this season into the playoffs something like that. I'm thinking, Yeah,

1304
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: he definitely would have helped if he was healthy. That's

1305
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: why they got him in the first place, right. And Look,

1306
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: the defense is gonna look a little bit different, as

1307
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: we were discussing earlier, and thanks for the call, Tom,

1308
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: We're up against the break here. The defense is going

1309
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: to look different because you're gonna have a different person

1310
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: calling it, just like the offense looked a little bit

1311
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: different last year with Ken Dorsey calling it. Will it

1312
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: be better? I think that's the goal. We'll see what happens. Yeah,

1313
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have your different wrinkles to it. Hopefully you

1314
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: have the health there. That's something that the defense was

1315
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: missing out on this past season. Hopefully that's there for

1316
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: the entirety of the season because they got into their

1317
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: depth this past year. Yeah, we have to take a

1318
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: break here. More of your questions from the obl fan

1319
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 1: for a mailbag and if we have time. Maybe a

1320
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: little NFL true false coming up next year with Chris Brown,

1321
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Maddie glab One, Bills Live. We'll catch in a few minutes,

1322
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: all right. A couple more questions to answer from the

1323
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: obl fan Friday mail bag. Hef A asks, what's the

1324
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: plan on replacing Edmund's position? Are we drafting high? There?

1325
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: Are we rolling with the guys we have? I think

1326
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: it's both. The answer is both, yep. They're probably gonna

1327
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: draft somebody and then that person will compete with the

1328
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: guys that are on the roster, namely Tyrell Dotson into

1329
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: Rol Bernard. It's gonna go I think so too. Brandon

1330
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: Bean said to give we need to give those guys

1331
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: a chance. They've earned it, and I could see them

1332
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: drafting a guy too. There's some good linebackers there. The

1333
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: question is when? Yeah, when end of day one or

1334
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: are you gonna go day two? Yeah? Because, as we

1335
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: have said on the show many times, there is a

1336
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 1: perceived drop off in talent after the top three. After

1337
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: Trenton Simpson, there is a noticeable drop to the next

1338
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: tier in terms of off the ball middle linebacker candidates.

1339
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: Not saying you can't find them, but they're fewer and

1340
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: further between in terms of coming in and competing for

1341
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: a role like that. Early on, RT asked, with the

1342
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: first pick, do we address need or do we take

1343
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: the best player available? Well, in an ideal world, you

1344
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: do both. You know you got a player to need

1345
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: position and the value fits, well, then it's easy swing

1346
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: away and just take the guy. That doesn't happen all

1347
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: that often, especially when you're picking a twenty seven. So

1348
01:16:54,960 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean's philosophy has been bpa overneed, because if you

1349
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 1: just pick for need, sometimes you'll reach if the value

1350
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 1: is not right. And that's not a place you want

1351
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: to be because not only are you not helping your

1352
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: team by getting the best player you can, you're also

1353
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: probably not helping the position of need because that player

1354
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: can't fill the void that you're hoping a first or

1355
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: a second round pick should fill in year one because

1356
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: they don't fit the value and can't meet the expectations. Yeah,

1357
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: and that's how you get in trouble. And if that's

1358
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 1: the case, I mean, I could see them trading out

1359
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: of the first round if they don't believe there's really

1360
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: a best player available for them at that point. If

1361
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: they don't believe. Hey, these are the the five guys

1362
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: that could go as we close out the first round.

1363
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Those five guys, they don't fit here. We don't have

1364
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: a first round grade on them. It's not a need

1365
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: for us. We don't need to fill this position. We've

1366
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: already got a got enough depth. Maybe we should trade back. Yeah,

1367
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting all so to see if any teams

1368
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 1: tried to trade up into the end of the first

1369
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: round to go after a quarterback, depending on where Hendon

1370
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Hooker goes. Yeah, and the more we're hearing, like the

1371
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: latest rumors now or that the Indianapolis Colts have Will

1372
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: Levis ahead of Anthony Richardson on their board and they

1373
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: pick fourth. If will Levis is going four, you know,

1374
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: when Anthony Richardson's probably not getting out of the top eight.

1375
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: Does that push Hooker up the board too? I think

1376
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: it does. I've seen it in mock drafts. I mean,

1377
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 1: I think he could go inside the top twenty. Now

1378
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: if the run on the first four is that early,

1379
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? If all four were gone

1380
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: on the top ten, heck, Tennessee at eleven could take

1381
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker. Yeah, a kid playing just on the other

1382
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: side of the state. You'd be pulling people in by

1383
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: the truckload to Tennessee Titans games with Hendon Hooker as

1384
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:54,600
Speaker 1: your quarterback, even if he can't play until November. From Hansel,

1385
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen was an apple, what kind of apple

1386
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: would he be? Well, I mean he's let's see, he

1387
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: comes from a farming family, but I don't think they

1388
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: do apples. They do. They do almonds, right, cantalope, cantelope,

1389
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: So what the hell? We might as well make him

1390
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: a snapdragon, right. I was gonna say snapdragon apple because

1391
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: he's got that dragon in him. Yep, he does, no

1392
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: question about it, all right. That was a creative question

1393
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: from Capazzi. Any predictions on which running back ends up

1394
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: RB one on Buffalo's roster um, that's a good question.

1395
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: I think it's Cook, but I think Harris is a

1396
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 1: one B, so I think it shakes out. They do

1397
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: two different things. So I think that's why you have

1398
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,560
Speaker 1: a one and a one B. James Cook and is

1399
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: a very different running back than Damien Harris, and there's

1400
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: needs for both of those guys in different scenarios, in

1401
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 1: different down in distance scenarios. So yeah, I think that's

1402
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the way. It probably shakes out ed asks where does

1403
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle fit in the offensive line mix? He's coming

1404
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: off an injury. Yeah, I don't know if there's any

1405
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,600
Speaker 1: player I've seen more this offseason than Tommy Doyle. That

1406
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: guy is put in the work to come back from

1407
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: the ACL injury that he suffered in Week three last

1408
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: year in Miami. He actually played the last two or

1409
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: three series of the game with the torn ACL because

1410
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: the Bills had no other lineman to put on the field.

1411
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: There was no one available to replace him. But he's

1412
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 1: looked good out here, you know, just kind of watching

1413
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: him do his rehab and stuff. So hopefully he's on

1414
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: schedule with everything. Maybe we get an update from the

1415
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: Bills in the next week or two on how he's doing.

1416
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: But I think he falls into that offensive tackle competition mix.

1417
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: I see him if he can't compete for his starting

1418
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: job at right tackle with Spencer Brown, I see him

1419
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: competing with David Questenberry for the swing tackle job, you know,

1420
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: first tackle off the bench in case of an injury. Yeah,

1421
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: wherever he fits in whatever opportunity he's given, that kid

1422
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: deserves a chance to fight for starting spot or that

1423
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: swing tackle role for or based on the work that

1424
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: he's put in, based on how much Brownie and I

1425
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: have seen him around here this offseason. He's gone nowhere.

1426
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: The only place he has gone is to the gym

1427
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: to workout. Yeah home one Bills drive workout train home,

1428
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: and he's done that pretty much throughout the winter here.

1429
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: Even before that, during the seat latter stages of the season,

1430
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 1: you know, after surgery and he had had enough time

1431
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: to get cleared to start doing things. We saw him

1432
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: here even in the latter stages of last season getting

1433
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: started on his rehabilitation, and he's a lot further ahead

1434
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: now than where he was back then. He's out here

1435
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: pushing sleds and stuff, which is exciting to see Jack.

1436
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: If the Bills do not elect to take a tight

1437
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: end at twenty seven or the Big three, I'm guessing

1438
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: receivers are gone in a relatively deep class who could

1439
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:49,600
Speaker 1: or maybe he's say in the Big three tight end

1440
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: it ends in a relatively deep class who could be

1441
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: an option to tight end in round two, three or four.

1442
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Bills have an obvious need at the position behind eighty eight.

1443
01:21:58,120 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 1: They need someone, but I don't know if they'll get

1444
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity at twenty seven with all their other priorities,

1445
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: there will be options. I mean, Sam Laporta is a

1446
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: guy from Iowa who figures to be in the round

1447
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: two round three discussion, So I think that's a candidate

1448
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: to consider. Tucker Craft is another player, Coda Yep Luke's schoonmaker,

1449
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: right Michigan kid. There were reports out there that he

1450
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: was having a pre draft visit with the Bills. Zach

1451
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: Koontz from Old Dominion as another player that I've heard

1452
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: his name mentioned, not with the Bills, but Day two guys. Yeah,

1453
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of I mean, basically, they're saying

1454
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: this is the best tight end class in a decade,

1455
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: so there are going to be players that can be had.

1456
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: They were talking about upwards of five tight ends going

1457
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: in the top fifty picks. That is highly uncommon in

1458
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: this day in age in the NFL. Are probably any

1459
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,040
Speaker 1: day in age in the NFL. That speaks to a

1460
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: deep class. So you've got candidates through the first three

1461
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: or four rounds that can probably serve your team in

1462
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: some capacity in their rookie season. Brenton Strange is another

1463
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: kid from Penn State who's getting a lot of buzz

1464
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: here late you know, almost six four, two fifty three,

1465
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: more of a possession type guy, but can block in

1466
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: the run game as well. So yeah, there's a lot

1467
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,560
Speaker 1: of options out there. I mean, even the kid from Alabama,

1468
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: that Cameron Lattu. They're not thinking he's gonna go until

1469
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: day three, like late four, round five. That kid's got

1470
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: some chops too, So there are a lot of options.

1471
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Even the Purdue kid paying Durham. He's a Day three pick,

1472
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: but he's got some nice tape. So there'll be plenty

1473
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 1: of options beyond round one at the tight end position

1474
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: this year in particular. Also to go along with the

1475
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: tight ends, this is just an all name tight end class.

1476
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Like you read these names on these guys and you're

1477
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: like you are a tight end, like Luke Musgrave, Yeah,

1478
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: Luke Schoonmaker, Tucker Craft, that's tight end. Zach Coon could

1479
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: also be a country singer, Tucker. I know some of

1480
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: these guys. Are you country singer? Are you tight end?

1481
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: What are you? What are you? Um? Let's quickly get

1482
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: to a little NFL True false presented by Patron Tequila,

1483
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: the official tequila of the Buffalo Bills. Question number one,

1484
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: Maddie now more than ever quarterback Lamar Jackson needs an agent,

1485
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: true or false? That is five hunder true five h.

1486
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,879
Speaker 1: He needs an agent so badly. He's losing out on millions.

1487
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you compare him to other quarterbacks who were

1488
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 1: in his draft class, and you compare him to how

1489
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: much those quarterbacks have made, and there's a significant drop

1490
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: off in how much he hasn't made compared to a

1491
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: guy like Josh Allen. Even so, I feel bad for

1492
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: him because he's losing out on millions. I would say

1493
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: true as well. He's got an know that he's losing

1494
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: this battle right now that he's been franchise tagged. Now

1495
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: he's talking about maybe not signing it, and I'm just like,

1496
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 1: we are you gonna lose more money? That's another thirty

1497
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: two million out the door, I know. So I think

1498
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 1: he just needs some professional advice. I understand he's committed

1499
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: to what he believes his value is and I get it,

1500
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: but you can't lose more money now You've already you're

1501
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: already behind in the earning potential because you've lost two

1502
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: years that you're never going to get back. He's kind

1503
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 1: of like the Levion Bell situation at running back at

1504
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Question number two, The Cowboys offense will

1505
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 1: struggle without offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. I think they've got

1506
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: guys on their offense, so this is a wait and

1507
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: see for me, so I guess I'll say false. They've

1508
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,560
Speaker 1: got some names. I think they've got enough talent to

1509
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: be able to put good things together regardless of who's

1510
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: calling who's calling the plays. I'm gonna say true only

1511
01:25:54,880 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: because the hiring to replace him was Brian Schottenheimer. And look,

1512
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: Brian Shohnenheimer had some measure of success in this league

1513
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator, but I think he's too much.

1514
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: He's too common or too much like head coach Mike McCarthy,

1515
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: And because of that, I don't think there's going to

1516
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: be enough innovation in this offense this year. Part of

1517
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: the reason that Kellen Moore went elsewhere was because he

1518
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: butted heads too much with Mike McCarthy. The bottom line, though,

1519
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: was the offense was pretty dang good now without Kellen

1520
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: Moore there, and now with the Chargers, He's probably gonna

1521
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: make the Chargers offense better. But I don't know if

1522
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:38,759
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer thinks differently enough to have a discerning voice

1523
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: in the room to sway Mike McCarthy to more advanced scheming,

1524
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, I think the Cowboys may pay for that.

1525
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say true. That is NFL true false.

1526
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Petron Tequila, the official tequila of

1527
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Maddie and I take a break here,

1528
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: but we're back to close things up for the week

1529
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: in a second. Here on One Bills Live, present by

1530
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 1: Colloid of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, back,

1531
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 1: we are here on One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Maddie

1532
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 1: glab with you. And as we get closer and closer, Maddie,

1533
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite position that you would like

1534
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: to see the Bills fill in round one? Like we're

1535
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: just talking personal preference here, ideal Maddie glab world, the Bills,

1536
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: you pick a guy at this position in round one?

1537
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: Or maybe you don't? Do you not? Do you not care?

1538
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: Can I dodge the question and say I think I

1539
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: want to trade out a first round? Wow? Okay, yeah,

1540
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: that's totally fine. I think I think I would like

1541
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 1: to trade out of the first round. And what is

1542
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: your main aim there? Is it just because you don't

1543
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be anything there. You want to get

1544
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: draft capital, what's your impetus. I don't think there's going

1545
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: to be a lot there for the Bills at twenty seven.

1546
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: At that point, based on all the mock drafts that

1547
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 1: I've scoured, I think positions that the Bills might be

1548
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,639
Speaker 1: interested in value positions I will say, could be gone

1549
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: by then. So I am of the team trade down

1550
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: into the second round, maybe earlier in the second round

1551
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: you get a pick versus where they were at, and

1552
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe you go after a linebacker there. I think a

1553
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 1: linebacker in the second round makes more sense than the

1554
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 1: first round. Okay, what about you. I want to see

1555
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: a linebacker get addressed. I'm a big Drew Sanders fan,

1556
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: and I think he is worth the twenty seventh pick,

1557
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 1: and I think there's a good chance that he will

1558
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 1: be there now. My value in the Bills value you

1559
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: could be completely different, and they may choose to go

1560
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,720
Speaker 1: back just like you suggest, even if you're going back

1561
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: six or six to eight spots. I mean, as long

1562
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: as you have enough prospects to fill the gap from

1563
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: where you're going to where you're ending up, you can

1564
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: justify it. But I I don't know. I'd be biting

1565
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:12,719
Speaker 1: my fingernails every minute waiting to hope he's still there.

1566
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 1: Kind of deal I don't. I don't do well in

1567
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 1: those scenarios where I have no control over what's going

1568
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: on before I get control again, So that would be

1569
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: very hard for me. But if the value doesn't match up,

1570
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: I get it. I just think he's worth that value

1571
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: only because in my mind, he can play two positions.

1572
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 1: He can play off the ball linebacker and run your defense,

1573
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: and then when you get in like third and fifteen,

1574
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 1: he can go up on the line and be a

1575
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: pass rush and then you just put Terrell Bernard on

1576
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: the field or something to play coverage linebacker, which is

1577
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: something that Terrell Bernard does very well. That's it for us.

1578
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,640
Speaker 1: You guys have a great weekend. The weather here in

1579
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,600
