1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tester who has been all over her fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role player.

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: See Steve a blimp. We're not even in the spreadit

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: heere of normalcy. Welcome into one, Bills Live a wonderful

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon to the Airhorns. Baby. It's a good day

6
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: to be a Buffalo Bills fan. Because free agency has

7
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: gone off without a hitch. Things we didn't even expect

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: to happen are happening here in Buffalo, New York, in

9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: Western New York. People want to play here instead of

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: for the Los Angeles Rams. What is going on? Welcome

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two. It's not mar And we thought

12
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna be really struggling for stuff to talk about,

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, because free agency will be here. Bills have

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: no cap space. They're gonna do nothing. And you know,

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, my phone starts popping and blowing

16
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: up yesterday and I'm like, really, I go no, I

17
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: thought it was it was somebody making fun about Van Miller.

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: Our old play by play guys like, it's not Vaughan,

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: it is von von Miller is now Buffalo Bill gonna

20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: agree to it and sign this afternoon. We're gon we're

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna try and stream the press conference live. I think

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: they'll be. It might go too late, we might not,

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: we might be off the air by the time it happens.

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: But man oh man, Brownie and I spent all that,

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: we spent the entire bills by the numbers podcasting. What

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: frug How frugal the bills are. How wise they are

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: they spending their money? Right? They don't do that here,

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't do that. Don't do that. Flash,

29
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: We're too smart for that. And then just kidding, home

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: run that's right, Um, unbelievable. We thought it was gonna

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: be so slow. Brownie's watching basketball today, he's not here.

32

Speaker 1: so it's gonna be like, where were you when the

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: von Miller news broke? So I am finishing a workout

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: and I knew Daquan Jones was gonna sign this yesterday evening,

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I just finished my workout. It's gonna

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: end up perfect timing. I'll just come back to one

45
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Bill's drive and be there in case anybody needs anything,

46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: in case he's going to do a press conference, I'll

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: just hang out. So I'm sweaty and I've got my

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: gym clothes on, and so I roll up and then

49
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: I look at my phone and I'm like what. I

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: walk in the building and our social media guy, Zach

51
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Spect is like, von Miller just tagged the Bills in

52
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: an Instagram post. We looked at each other like is

53
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: this happening? And then thirty seconds later, our PR team

54
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: comes downstairs and they're like, we can announce agreed to

55
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: terms with von Miller, which usually we don't announce until

56
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: guys put pen to paper because we know some things

57
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: can happen. We know it's a free agency tampering period.

58
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to come here. So I was a

59
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: little bit surprised. I'm like, I'm glad I'm here right

60
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: now so I can write up the story, we can

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: announce it, we can release everything. So a very exciting

62
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday evening in Buffalo, New York carried into today because

63
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: we'll have some of these guys in the building signing

64
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: their contracts. We have Von Miller who agreed to terms. O. J.

65
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Howard the tight End, also agreed to terms last nine

66
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. We have some reports out

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: there Jordan Phillips with a one year deal and Tim

68
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Settle also with a two year deal. Some of these

69
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: are just reported. They're not officials, as we learned in

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of days with JD. McKissick the running back,

71
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: and they may not happen, but it looks like all

72
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: these are gonna happen. No, no no, that's happened yet. Guys

73
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: haven't got cold feet or gotten a better offer or

74
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: anything like that. So until these guys signing, you know,

75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: nothing's carved in stone. But this is as of now.

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: These guys have all agreed ears reported to and it's

77
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: you know this. We roam around this building now. The

78
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: buildings opened up again, right since the pandemic. We walk

79
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: around the other parts of the building, but it once

80
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: in a while we'll get stuff. They say, don't say

81
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: anything about this, but we got a B and C

82
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: may happen. Okay, that's fine. This was like nothing. I know,

83
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: he has no shock throughout the building. Yes, everybody was like,

84
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: they want Hawaii. So Brandon Bean was up there working

85
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: his magic. We know he's a magician. We know he

86
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: is amazing when it comes to moving around money. Here

87
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: they're kicking it down the road, doing whatever you can

88
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: do to make sure you are under that cap number,

89
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: which I think is why a lot of us thought

90
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: this wasn't going to happen, right because of where the

91
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: bills were at, right, wouldn't have any cap space. And

92
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: then then you got then you heard as well in

93
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: this morning. Unfortunately part of the deal, you know, Cole

94
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Beasley got released. Okay, there's seven point or six point one.

95
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: And then they converted and it's been a reporter. They're

96
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: converted Matt Milano's contract to all bonus because you know,

97
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: you figure Miloney going anywhere, you may as well give

98
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: him the money now, So they did, and he'll play

99
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: for like the veteran minimum during the season as a salary,

100
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: but he gets the money right now, that all goes

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: back onto the cap and now all of a sudden

102
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: they got room and von Miller's contracted it looked by

103
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: it's reported that it's only gonna be seven million on

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: the cap this year, and then it's a six year deal,

105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: so it's all strung out into the future. He does

106
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: get guaranteed money, yes, but they fitted all to the

107
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: cap and presto change Jo von Miller's I mean, incredible, incredible,

108
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: and he said too he you know, it was was

109
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: reported he wanted to play with Josh. You don't want

110
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: to see it because the Josh Allen effect, it is

111
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: a real thing. Just like just like Brandon being after

112
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: dark is a real thing. The Josh Allen effect is

113
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: also a real thing, and we all knew it was

114
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons. Now, I feel like the

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: world woke up after that game, after the two games.

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: After the two games, I mean, you have a perfect game, yeah,

117
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: but virtually a perfect game, it's like, and then you

118
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: take your team and put them in a great position

119
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: on the road to move on to the AFC Championship game,

120
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: and unfortunately they couldn't make it happen. But it was

121
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: also amazing to be at the Combine a couple of

122
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And the way that people talk about that

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: game in the thirteen seconds if you're not attached to

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: the Bills is so differently than we talk about it.

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: We talk about it as yes, it was a great game,

126
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: but we were all so bummed. And you talk to

127
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: analysts about it, you talk to national writers and other

128
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: people in the league, other people on coaching staffs, and

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: their thought process is the Bills are really good. Yes,

130
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: they came in there that their offense was playing like

131
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: it played in those games, absolute perfection against the Patriot,

132
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, a division rival. And then they

133
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: go into Kansas City, which nobody wants any part of

134
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: these days. Because of Mahomes and Tyreek and Jays and

135
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and rightfully so great team, great head coach.

136
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: They're winning games and Josh throws up the performance he

137
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: threw up in that game and answers everything Pat Mahomes

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: does when he has a chance to he finally gets

139
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: to overtime, he never gets the chance. He absolutely lights

140
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: him up. And so we're, you know, all of us

141
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo Bill's land. I mean, you know, Bill's mafia.

142
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: We're all we can't get over the thirteen second thing.

143
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: And I get it. The rest of the league. However,

144
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: what we found out going to this combine, it is like, dude,

145
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: you should be proud of you guys. Are I'm BOLDI yeah?

146
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: And that was kind of taken Aback I was too.

147
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: I was really shocked. Jo the people in the NFL

148
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: are looking at the Bills going those guys are a

149
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: real problem, a real problem. And it starts with Josh.

150
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: And now you got players like von Miller coming out.

151
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: He's a free could sign anywhere. Yeah, if he's willing

152
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: to pay play for whatever a team can afford. He

153
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: just say, hey, you know, can I play for you

154
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: guys this year? And they're like absolutely, we got your

155
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: clear numbers, clear the number right, he could, and he

156
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: he chose to come to Buffalo. I mean, I know,

157
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: the guy's made a pile of money and the Bills

158
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: are paying him a pile. But any team that can

159
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you can get whatever any team can afford, you know it.

160
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: And to have him say, you know, I want to

161
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: I want to go there. I want to see what

162
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: that's like. Um. And it is about Josh, no question.

163
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: It's about the culture that Brandon Bean Sean McDermot have made.

164
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: But it's also about the vibe in Buffalo. Yeah, it's

165
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: about the Bills mafia, about how much the Bills fans

166
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: love their team, The Bills fans love each other. The

167
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Bills fans are for the NFL, not just cheering for

168
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: they're they're donating money to other teams charities. They're all

169
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: about it. They are in it to win it. The

170
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: Bills fans are for the NFL, and they love it

171
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: and they love each other. And that's a different vibe

172
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: than any other city. And players are like, well, you know,

173
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: it's gotta be fun. I want to go there. And

174
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Von Miller shows up, looks for what we've really shows

175
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: up at like two o'clock this afternoon, I know. So

176
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: this will be a busy day here at one Bill's Drive.

180
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: we get off air, we're going to carry those live.

181
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: And I would say it's just an elite day to

182
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: be in Buffalo. It is Saint Patrick's Day. The city

183
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: thrives off of Saint Patrick's Day. It's sunny, it's in

184
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: the sixties. March Madness tournament here. Um, yeah, this isn't

Speaker 1: And you walk in the building today. And in the

188
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: off season, there's some days where nothing is going on,

189
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: not a lot of people are around, but in free

190
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: agency it is busy here. People are in the building.

191
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: We're kind of getting out of these COVID times. Everybody's

192
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: back together. There's no more protocols in the NFL. So

193
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: I'm walking around upstairs to day, going to grab the

194
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: water in our cafeteria, and I run into Ken Dorsey

195
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to him, and I run into a

196
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: couple other the coaches and some of the scouts, and

197
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: everybody was in a great mood today, and for good reason.

198
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the weather does so much to people here,

199
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: but Von Miller is also going to do so much

200
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: to people here. And you could tell it in the

201
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: coaching staff. You could tell people were excited, people were

202
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: happy to be around, people were happy to see the

203
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: buzz in the building today. We're gonna do whatever we

204
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: can as well. I mean, the timing this may not

205
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: work out. We go off the air at three, so

206
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and carry. Everything's gonna start. We hope

207
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,319

00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,320

209
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: roster of new guys. They're all online and we're gonna

210
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: try and we'd like to get some of them on

211
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: the show, but the timing just never works for us

212
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: because you know, we're in the mid afternoon, so sometimes

213

215
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,880

Speaker 1: You got the NCAA tournament in town. Free agency has

224
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: descended on Buffalo like it hasn't for a long time.

225
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: And you've also got you know, a guy who's in

00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: he's just yeah, it's a pretty good day to be

229
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. Yeah, no bad days in Buffalo. I'm

230
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: starting in right now, starting the trend go, no bad

231
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: days in Buffalo. It's a good day today because we've

232
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: got Von Miller who has agreed to terms on a

233
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: six year deal with the Buffalo Bills, and he will

234
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: be such an important piece to this defensive line. This

235
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: is somebody who will show up and make an impact immediately.

236
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: He enters his eleventh season as an NFL player, has

237
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen and a half sacks in his career.

238
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: He leads all players since two eleven when he came

239
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: into the league with sacks. That is a huge number.

240
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: He had a career high eighteen and a half in

241
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: two and twelve. This guy is a two time Super

242
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Bowl champion. He was a Super Bowl MVP. He's been

243
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: a three time First team All Pro, has made the

244
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl eight different times. The accolades for this players

245
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: are out of this world. He's a Hall of Fame

246
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: caliber player. And to think about him coming into the

247
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: Bills locker room, coming into the defensive line room, getting

248
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: to mentor players like Greg Russoau, Boogie Basham aj Epanessa,

249
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking this is going to pay off

250
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: in so many different ways than just how he performs

251
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: on the field. And Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison did

252
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: a wonderful job Tills helping guys like Greg Russou and

253
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham in his first in their first seasons in

254
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: the NFL so important. They brought so much leadership to Buffalo.

255
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: And we're not sure what's going to happen with those

256
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: two yet, but von Miller is just going to help

257
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: with that. Jerry Hughes is an all time Bill ten

258
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: years on the edge. He came here with the trade

259
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: and has been a fixture on the defense ever since

260
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: and has put up some some really really good numbers

261
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Has been a great guy, has been

262
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a tuning a leader, all of that, no question about it.

263
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: It'd be awesome if he could come back also on

264
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: today as well. One of the guys that signed a

265
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: one year deal O J. Howard, the tight end coming

266
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: over his twenty seven. He's six six, two fifty one,

267
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: very hydrady. We talked, Brownie, and I talked about it

268
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: all the time, Maddie. The Bills have a thing for

269
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: guys with physical traits. OJ Howard is a walking pro

270
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: football player. He gets off the bus. The other teams

271
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: like going, oh my gosh, look at that guy, um,

272
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: And that's at the NFL level. He's He's one of

273
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: those guys. He came out in the draft and was

274
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: a spectacular physical specimen. And now he's moving on getting

275
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: into his second contract in the National Football League. Gotten

276
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: a one year deal from the Bills and here we go.

277
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: He along with Roger Saffold, I mean, I got the

278
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: round up here if you if you want to recap

279
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: real quick, Jake coumero Isaam McKenzie, Mitch Moore's Siran Neo,

280
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: all these guys resigned with the Bills and restructured the

281
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: new guys. OJ Howard, Roger Saffold, de Quan Jones, Tim Settle,

282
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: and of course now today von Miller. Pretty good group

283
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: and it's going to be really fun to see these

284
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: guys start to go out and take the field and

285
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: watch him playing press. And then in the midst of that,

286
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: we also had some coaching news this week earlier. Mike

287
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: Schula is now on the Bill's staff as the team's

288
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: senior offensive assistant, and Eric Washington was promoted to the

289
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: senior defense is defensive assistant. He is also the defensive

290
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: line coach, which he has done the two seasons prior.

291
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: So a lot of moving, a lot of shifting here

292
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: on the roster over the last week and down the

293
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: road as well. I mean, Brandon Bean is not done

294
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: with things. We'll see Brandon Bean make moves over the

295
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: next week or so. Even beyond that, He's going to

296
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: try and find the players that fit on this roster,

297
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: the players that fit within this culture, and the players

298
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: who can take this team to the next level, which

299
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: is the Super Bowl. Yeah, and it's it's gonna be

300
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: fun to watch there. They still have some work to do.

301
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: Their roster's not completely fleshed out as right now. As

302
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: we mentioned to Cole Beasley being released. Not think about this, Maddie,

303
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: and I know you were an athlete. The team gave

304
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: him every opportunity to go out and find out what

305
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: he was worth and tried to trade him so that

306
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: he could make his seven point one two million or

307
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: two point seven point two five or whatever was million

308
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: on the way he had signed the deal with the

309
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: Bills in the last three years, last year of a

310
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: four year deal. No no takers because I think maybe,

311
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: and maybe this too, that the market out there knew that. Listen,

312
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to release the guy. So we'll just

313
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: wait until we don't have to give you anything up

314
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: for him, and we'll get into those bidding wars knowing

315
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: this as well. He probably won't make over seven million

316
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: dollars with another team. He may make significantly less than that.

317
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: He may make more good and good for him, bless

318
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: his heart if he can. Yeah, but if he goes

319
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: out there and doesn't like like it on the open

320
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: market and the Bills have us and you know, the

321
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: Bills have got a space for him, giving him the

322
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: chance to go out and seek a trade to a

323
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: team of his choice, and you know, not releasing him

324
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: until the absolute absolutely had to that tells him everything

325
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: that they love the guy. Bills Mafia loves the guy.

326
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: He's dependable, you can count on the guy. He made

327
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: clutch catches. He's a tremendously difficult matchup for defenses, particularly

328
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: in man coverage. He's a really good player. And you

329
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: know this, He's gonna be playing somewhere in this next year.

330
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: It's not out of the question for me to think

331
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: the Bills might give him a chance to come back

332
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: if he wants to. That'd be awesome if he did.

333
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: And he was so important for Josh Allen's growth. Yeah,

334
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: when he came to the Bills. I mean, he was

335
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's security blank so many different ways. He was

336
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: that dump off target where okay, I can't hit one,

337
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: two or three, let me hit my check down and

338
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley is right there. He did such a good

339
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: job of helping Josh Allen grow. John Brown is another

340
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: name that I think of important wide receivers and Josh

341
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: Allen's growth in those first couple of seasons. And Colbeasley

342
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: saw career high numbers when he was in Buffalo. He

343
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: did so many great things for this team. He is

344
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: so talented in his position. When he was in Buffalo,

345
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: his slot numbers compared to other slot receivers were super high.

346
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean the way he runs his routes, the way

347
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: he gets in and out of his breaks. He is

348
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: a really, really, really talented wide receiver. And if he's

349
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: on in Buffalo next season, he's going to make an

350
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: impact on whatever team he goes to, because that guy

351
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: is someone who's a veteran, who's someone who knows an offense,

352
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: who can talk to a quarterback in ways that wide

353
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: receivers can't because he does have that quarterback in him.

354
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: His dad was a coach for a long time, so

355
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: he's someone who through and through is just kind of

356
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: bleeds football and I think was very helpful to Josh Allen. Yeah,

357
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: we asked the other day what everybody's favorite move was,

358
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, for the Bills in this offseason, the free agency,

359
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: we were a day late. Um, a day early because

360
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there's a new move that the people

361
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: need to evaluate. This this also too, and not for nothing,

362
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump off this because we're also

363
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: we're also enamored with with what they've done in free

364
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: agencies so far, particularly with this Von Miller thing. They

365
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: still have nine picks in the draft. That's upcoming, and

366
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: every time you sign a guy, particularly got the guys

367
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: they have the two defensive tackles was Settled and Jones

368
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: and now von Miller. Three defensive linemen to begin with

369
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: Daquan Jones to him Settled von Miller. You know, they

370
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: got Roger Saffold up front. They resigned Mitch Morrise, so

371
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: they got those guys. You know, both lines kind of

372
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: started to bolster. Now you gotta start thinking about Okay, now,

373
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now, we really don't need an edge

374
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: rusher in this draft. Now, could use a corner, maybe

375
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: a wide, big time wide out those free that frees

376
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: up those spots. You know what I'm saying. Jamison Williams

377
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: is out there, and I don't know. Do you think

378
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams lasts to the Bills or do you you

379
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Where do you think he falls

380
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: into draft? He may be for those of you who

381
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: don't know, he's a tremendous player recovering from an ACL

382
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: injury right now. If he didn't have that injury, he

383
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: would be a top ten pick. He might be the

384
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: first guy off, I mean, first wide receiver off at

385
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: least or one of the first two that's how good

386
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: he's big fasts who he's like young Julio Jones, Right,

387
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean he's just this guy, right, but he's coming

388
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: off a big time injury, and acl Bills are picking

389
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty five, may get a guy like that, may get

390
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a guy like that. But then if it's not him,

391
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: there are other guys like see, like Chrystal Lavy, like

392
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Trailan Burkes. There's other wide receivers in the NFL draft

393
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: pool that are possibilities to pick, and they may go corner.

394
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: So many corners, right, I've been tracking these mock drafts,

395
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: and it is it has been corner, wide receiver or

396
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. And I think we're not going to see

397
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: too many defensive linemen anymore after what the Bills have

398
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: done in free agency. I mean they could if one

399
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: falls to them, if there's a surprise guy you never know.

400
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon being drafted to defensive linemen in the

401
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: first and second round last season. He probably didn't even

402
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: think the offensive lineman in the second, in the third

403
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: and fourth, right, so yeah, he'll And I think we've

404
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: said a ton. The philosophy is seems to be I

405
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: said what the philosophy was about free agency yesterday and

406
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: Von Miller signing blew it out of the water. So

407
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: I think the draft philosophy is they want to take

408
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: the best player out there. And that's what Brandon has

409
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: said since he's walked in the door here. It's use

410
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: free agency for your needs. Then you go to the

411
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: draft and you can want things. You don't have to

412
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: be filling holes anymore. Jameson Williams drops and they really

413
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: like him. Someone else drops a really great corner that

414
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: they expected to go higher because maybe the run on

415
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: corner starts later in the first round than expected. Then

416
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: they have the luxury to go and get that guy

417
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: because Von Miller's on your roster. Because the interior defensive

418
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: line is welcoming some new faces to the group because

419
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: you have a veteran in Roger Staffold coming to the

420
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's where they like to build first. Sean

421
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: and Brandon love having strength in the trenches. They believe

422
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: that's what you need to have talented to be able

423
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: to win football games. That's the most important thing. And

424
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: I agree with him. You gotta win up front on

425
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. If you can do it,

426
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: at least hold your own and let you, and then

427
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: it makes your skill guys better, makes the guys further

428
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: away from the ball better because you can hold the

429
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And I so I agree with that completely.

430
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: And they've been drafting guys on both sides of the

431
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: ball virtually the last three or four years, all the

432
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: entire time they've been here. I don't think that's gonna change.

433
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: It may not change. They may continue to go D

434
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: line O line, and I'm okay with it because you

435
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: can get wide receivers in this draft in the third

436
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: fourth round that are really quality contributors right out of

437
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: the gate. Just unwrap them out of the package and

438
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: they can be used. So with the emergence of Gabriel

439
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: Davis this last year late in the season, this year,

440
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: you gotta think he's gonna show up and be a

441
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: guy who holds it down. So definitely, there's no urgent

442
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: positional emergency that the Bills have to address on the

443
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: wide receiver side of it. Corner. They may be a

444
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: little light, but they got guys. You know, it'll be

445
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens at that cornerback position between

446
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: now and the NFL. I think there's gonna be let

447
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: me ask you this, do you think with Turdevious White,

448
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson sitting there, and Tarin Johnson, do you think

449
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: the starting cornerbacks are on the roster right now? Both

450
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: of them? They could be. They very well could be.

451
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson acquitted himself extremely well last year, and when

452
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: when Trey came out, there wasn't that drop off that

453
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: everybody talked about that there was going to be. Dane

454
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: Jackson held his own. The safeties held their own to

455
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: be able to help out a younger player like Dane Jackson.

456
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: The defense as a whole helped out a player like

457
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, and their numbers didn't fall off. They still

458
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: were the best defense in the NFL without Tradevious White.

459
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: That's big to lose a player like Tredevious White and

460
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: still remained the best NFL team on defense. They were slipped.

461
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: They were statistically the best defense in the NFL last year.

462
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: And it's territing. We talked about a lot, Maddie, because

463
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: you go back and look at it, and they were

464
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: never I mean, they had They had some really good

465
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: performances throughout the year. They shut a couple of teams

466
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: out in the first third of the season, and you know,

467
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: just had some really dominant performances. But they really were

468
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: an unspectacular kind of defense. You see these old Pittsburgh

469
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: stealer teams and the Seattle Seahawks old team they'd make

470
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: they were spectacle. They were suffocating spectacular sacks, interceptions, turnover

471
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: sacks again, more sacks, tackles for loss fumbles. They were

472
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they were crushing teams the Bills were. It

473
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: wasn't like that. It's like you look at the end

474
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: of the game, they're like, wow, is that pretty good

475
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: defensive performance. They only scored, well, they only scored seventeen points,

476
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: and you look at it's like, wow, they you know,

477
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: compared to everybody else, they did really well. And there

478
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: was never there weren't those handful of signature defensive plays

479
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: for these games throughout the season. So there's the Bills

480
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: are the number one defensive league. It certainly never felt

481
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: like that for Bills fans, you know what I mean.

482
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: Certainly they were proud of the defense. They love the

483
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: guys and all that, but it never felt like there

484
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: was a defense that you were going to go out

485
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: and gloat over. Right. Yeah, it's a strange place to be. Yeah,

486
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: I agree, and with these additions that will see to

487
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 1: this roster. On defense specifically, I expect this group to

488
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: take a step forward next season. If Tardavious White is

489
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: back and healthy, I expect the corners to take a

490
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: step forward. Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. I mean those

491
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: two have been together for so long. How could you

492
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: not take another step forward? Right? I totally think this team,

493
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: and specifically talking about the defense, can do things that

494
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: they didn't do this past season because of players like

495
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: Von Miller now being added to the roster, because of

496
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: maybe a new corner coming to the team. I mean,

497
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: our linebackers, our next level talent that can do things

498
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: that you're token linebacker cannot do in the NFL the

499
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: era of positionless players. Matt Milano is someone who is

500
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: a safety that transitioned to linebacker and he can be

501
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: a coverage linebacker when needed to. Tremaine Edmonds has arms

502
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: the size of a tree, right, and he can cover

503
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: in ways like other players can't. I the physical traits

504
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: of this defense, the guys that they're bringing onto this team,

505
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator that they have. I think about this

506
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: all the time. Leslie Frasier was in nineteen eighty five

507
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bear. Yeah, the best defense in the NFL if

508
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: you look at a single season in history. Yeah, and

509
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: coming from Chicago, I mean, that's all that my dad

510
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: would talk about. And when I got the job with

511
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, one of the first things he said

512
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: was Leslie Fraser's the defensive coordinator there, you know that. Yeah,

513
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: And he lived through being a part of the best

514
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: defense and he has definitely applied so many of those

515
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: things to this defense. Yeah. And it's it's a it's

516
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: even a different world they live in. It's it was

517
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: a different game back in nineteen eighty five. Five. I

518
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: mean the eighty five is the year I came out.

519
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: I was drafted in eighty five, and the league has changed.

520
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: It's changed during my career now and in the years

521
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: and three decades, four decades since then. The league is

522
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: very different. And Leslie's been in it every step of

523
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: the way, adapted in so many ways for his age

524
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to be able to adapt the way that he has

525
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: to how the NFL game looks right now, especially on defense,

526
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: with how you need to morph and to evolve and

527
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: to change to be able to stop guys like Joe Burrow,

528
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes. These are quarterbacks that, yes, you

529
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: did have mobile quarterbacks back then, but you didn't really

530
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: have that combination of mobile quarterbacks with the arm strength

531
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: that we're seeing now today. Yeah, it's a different world.

532
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: And the Bills defense, even in today's NFL is a

533
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: little I think it's a little different than everybody else.

534
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: They only go with two lineback Their base defense is

535
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: nickel defense. Yes, three corners on the field. Terren Johnson

536
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: in the slot with Trey and it was Levi Wallace

537
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: now as Dane Jackson or whoever it's going to be,

538
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: and the two safeties, and they rush four almost always.

539
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: They don't rush five, they don't rush six, they don't

540
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: rush they rush four. And that's one of the reasons

541
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: why maybe their sack totals aren't way up there. They've

542
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: got if you if you talk okay with that, you

543
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: talk to the analytics people, and the Bills pass rushers

544
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: win a lot, but there's only four of them and

545
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: the quarter you know, the quarterback either bobs out or

546
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: gets it or gets rid of the ball fast and

547
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: as long as the ball, if the ball's in the air.

548
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: The Bills have got a chance at it because their

549
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: secondary is stellar. That's the two safeties. The first two

550
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: guys Sean McDermott signed Poyer and Hide back in nine.

551
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen is a free agents are still there and

552
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: they've been the biggest difference I think on this defense.

553
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 1: And now safeties are so important when you're playing them.

554
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's everybody's following suit, everybody's try Tyranne Matthews still out

555
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: there waiting for a safety contract. All these teams are

556
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: signing safeties, trading for safeties. It's become one of the

557
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: premier positions in the secondary. Certainly corners are big, but

558
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: safeties now teams are really investing in them, and it's

559
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: something we haven't seen for during my time. In the

560
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: end of this thirty five forty years, certainly they appreciated

561
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: great safeties Ed Reid, Troy, Paul Amalu, but those guys

562
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: stood out. Now. Tyrann Matthew is a huge commodity. You know,

563
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, you get trade two ones for him, and

564
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: he's kind of a hybrid safety type of guy. There's

565
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: all these safeties out there that have been making a

566
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: difference and I The Bills seem to have been just

567
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: ahead of that in twenty seventeen when they got Polar

568
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: and Hide. Ever since they got those guys, with the

569
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: exception of two years ago, well now two years ago

570
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, where the defense was like sixteenth in the league.

571
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Every other year their top five yea, and they do it.

572
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 1: They're not getting fifty five sixty sacks again a year,

573
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: they're getting like forty. They're okay pass rushers, but the

574
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: second so yeah, right, maybe that'll change it. Those numbers

575
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: may go up next season. Think about it. They signed

576
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: the two safeties and their first draft pick was Trey

577
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: Trey White, and all of them they got the top

578
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: five defense every single year except for exept for the

579
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty year when Josh was absolutely going bananas. So

580
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, Leslie Fraser, Sean McDermott, and Brandon Bean really

581
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: deserve a lot of credit maybe for being out ahead

582
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: of that curve, because we're seeing teams chase him now

583
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: and for good reason. Um, the Bills were there a

584
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: little bit last year, but certainly they're gonna be there

585
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: this year. They're gonna they're one of those teams that

586
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: people are looking at going Man's circle, that one on

587
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: the on the schedule it used to be and we

588
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: all we've all lived it. We all do it. Everybody.

589
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: Every team's schedule comes out and all their fans go

590
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: a win win loss loss, win win. When they get

591
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: down to the Buffalo on the thing, it's an l

592
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna I don't know, tough game, I don't know,

593
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's what we like. That's the one.

594
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's a great spot to be in and

595
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: uh and today it's just one more time when you go, wow,

00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: run before. They really are and the results are evident.

598
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: It's an exciting time to be a Buffalo Bills fan.

612
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: can definitely head to Buffalo Bills dot com, where I'm

613
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: sure they will be streamed as well. The official guys,

614
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: Roger Saffold and de Quan Jones have put pen to

615
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: paper to being a Buffalo Bill reports with Jordan Phillips

616
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: and Tim Settle and Oj Howard and Von Miller have

617
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: agreed to terms. That's the latest here with the Buffalo Bills.

618
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: What's going on here in free agency? Brandon Bean has

619
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: been busy at work. Let's go to the phone lines here.

620
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: We've got Frank and Hamburg on with us. Frank, what

621
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: do you think about some of these moves. I don't

622
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: think we've seen this kind of intervention from a general

623
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: manager since Bill Pollion. I think it's just a credit

624
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: to our current organization. What do you think you can't

625
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't hear what he said? What do you say.

626
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: He said he hasn't seen some of those moves since

627
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: a guy like Bill Pollian. Yeah, that's true. I yeah,

628
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: Bill was more willing to do some moves, no question

629
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: about it. The cornyitis Bennett trade stands out. There were

630
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: others as well. It's a different league now you see

631
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: a lot more general managers with the freedom to go

632
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: out and do these things. I think back in the day,

633
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: ownership was like listen, don't yeah, don't mess with the

634
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: numbers like that, you know, don't upset the applecord. Now

635
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: it's become because the salary cap is in place, because

636
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: they have you know, they have guidelines and they kind

637
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: of have these loopholes that you can jump through if

638
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: you want. I think gms have been empowered by ownership

639
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: more in this day and age to go out and say, okay,

640
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: make something happen. For see if we can win a

641
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: division and get us into the playoffs, and guys are

642
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: doing it. I feel like over the last five years,

643
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: even the last three years, we've seen big players go

644
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: to different teams who we may have thought, you're going

645
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: to retire in this one place, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson,

646
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: I mean so many players are, you know, when they

647
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: want something new, when they want to try to win

648
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl that they maybe haven't yet, are willing

649
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else. I think of the NBA and

650
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: how much drama the NBA is made up of in

651
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: the super teams and guys being traded somewhere, and the

652
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: NFL sometimes shows up in ways like that. Maybe not

653
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: as much, definitely not as much as the NBA. It

654
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have that drama. But I've enjoyed seeing big name

655
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: players test out what it's going to be like with

656
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: a different team rather than staying in one place for

657
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: fifteen seasons. Well you know led By, you know, Tom

658
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: Brady getting out a New England after fifteen or after

659
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: twenty years going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and winning

660
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: one right away. M Peyton Manning leaving Indianapolis. The league

661
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: is starting to get smaller, and as the money and

662
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: as it has grown, and the salary cap has gone

663
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: up and up and up and up, and teams have

664
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: paid guys further and further and further down their roster

665
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: life changing money. Guys are really looking at the fact

666
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: that you know, I got a chance to maybe pick

667
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: a spot here and win a championship. Certainly, there's no guarantees.

668
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean we all know that. I mean, as good

669
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: as you can play, you can still end up with

670
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen seconds that end it for you. That's

671
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: that's the reality of it. So these players didn't know

672
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees of being able to win one, even

673
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: if you pick the right team. But it is becoming

674
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: a little bit like the NBA where you got these

675
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: guys who are friends off the field or you know,

676
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: it becomes yeah, it becomes about relationships. You know, I

677
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: would like to play with him one year. Let's just

678
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: be teammates. You know. Um, that's that is really new.

679
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: That's brand new. It's very cool and kind of exciting

680
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: to see, particularly since the Bills kind of seemed to

681
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: be the eye of that storm with Josh, much like

682
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: Mahomes has been in the in the recent past, much

683
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: like Brady was in New England and the way he

684
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: was when he went to Tampa Bay. Guys wanted to

685
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: sign there, remember that, and it paid off for those guys.

686
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, Lashawn McCoy got one with them, he got

687
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: one with Mahomes. Guys have done it, and it's like, yeah,

688
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: I wonder. You know, guys are sitting there thinking in

689
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: themselves and looking at their you know, their wives and

690
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 1: their kids and their families and their buddies, and let's

691
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: go see if we can do it. It's a it's

692
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: a dynamic that has never existed in the NFL before

693
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: to the extent that it does now. Yeah, it's pretty exciting.

694
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's fun to think about. All Right, we're

695
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: going to take another call. This one is from Curtis

696
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: and Rochester. Curtis, you're not as excited as we are

697
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: about Vaughn huh um. Those kind of prices for aiding

698
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: pass rusher. I understand the sentiment, you know, Super Bowl, Denver,

699
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl with the rounds, we've thirteen seconds away. I

700
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: understand that that's not on paper. These moves are very

701
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: very attractive, Okay, but I don't see it that way.

702
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: I look at it as Okay, defensively, we have knees

703
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: of course, at the cornerback, maybe a pass rusher linebacker. Okay,

704
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: that money we invested in Bob Miller, you know, we

705
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: can get certain players in the draft. Our draft is

706
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: going to be important for us because I don't see

707
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: Bob Miller being here in life for that contract. Okay, Okay,

708
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: I like them. I like them, but you know it

709
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. Okay, thank you, thank you for

710
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: the call, Curtis. All Right, so Steve, I will update

711
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: you on what we're talking about since you couldn't hear

712
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: that phone call. So what Curtis was saying was that

713
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: the numbers for von Miller are a little much, and

714
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: he understands, you know, the super Bowl champion in him

715
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: and why he could be worth that much money because

716
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: of what he's done, because the one hundred and fifteen sacks,

717
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: because of winning two super Bowls, because of being a

718
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. But is von Miller worth what the

719
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: reports are saying he's he's worth. It's a seven million

720
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: dollars cap hit this year. They can afford that, and

721
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: there's it's a six year deal. So you're right, everything

722
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: is kicked down the road to some extent. The rumblings

723
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: are the cap is going to go up and an

724
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: enormous amount this coming year because the new TV deals

725
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: kick in this coming year. That's a good thing. Not

726
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: to forget about it, right, And so the cap may

727
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: go from two o eight to two, like they're saying,

728
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: like two thirty that changes everything for what you can do.

729
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: And if you can get out in front of that, fine,

730
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: and I get it. Vaughan may only have I think

731
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: he's got football left. He had nine and a half

732
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: sacks in the regular season last year, four in the playoffs, which, yeah,

733
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: let's do that again. I know I'll take it. He

734
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: had a bunch of hurries, he had a bunch of pressures,

735
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: he had a bunch of quarterback hits. He's still playing

736
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: at a very high level. The Rams went out and

737
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: got him because he was still killing it for the

738
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. The Rams went out and got it traded

739
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: for him because they need what they wanted to make

740
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: sure they got over the hump. He had two sacks

741
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl this year. The guy can play. Certainly,

742
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna play if he comes in plays

743
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: well this year. If he can just give you two

744
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: to two years and then rotate in and this third

745
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: year and just give you a half a good year,

746
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: that's all you need because the rest of the contract

747
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: can be flushed and he'll walk away with a with

748
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: a big chunk of money that will be really good

749
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: for him, He'll be very happy with his time in Buffalo,

750
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: particularly if they get a chance to win one or

751
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, get a chance swinging another UM Super Bowl.

752
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: It'll all work out like that. The Moneys Right, that's

753
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: exactly right, exactly right. Um he could and that's his plan.

754
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: He's already a Hall of Fame caliber players playing at

755
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: a high level. And I'll say this, guys who I

756
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: know who watched the league and keep track of it,

757
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: most notably the guy we all know who's got two

758
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: hundred sacks. I was on the Tech Sloop with Bruce

759
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: Smith last night and Jim Kelly and Thurman and Darryl

760
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: Talley and all those guys, and Bruce Chiming said, guys,

761
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: he's the guy that closes the game out and brings

762
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: Josh back on to kneel down, and he goes They've

763
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: they've needed that guy for a long time. Von Miller's

764
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: the guy that can come in, sack game over, come

765
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: on in and kneel it down. That's what That's what

766
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: those guys, that's what Bruce thinks to bring me up.

767
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: And I think he's right. You need a guy who's

768
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: an exclamation point at the end of a really good game,

769
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: and Von Miller is the exclamation point. I completely agree,

770
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: A changer for this team, a difference maker for this

771
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: team once he walks into the building here when they

772
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: report in April for workouts and then OTAs and training camp.

773
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see what he's going to do in Buffalo.

774
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: Still needs to put pen to paper here at One

775
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. He's agreed to terms on a six year

776
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: deal with the Bills. Don't go anywhere when we come back,

777
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: a more free agency chatter, more Von Miller talk. This

778
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: is One Bill's a Live presented by Clyde Health on

779
00:42:44,800 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live. It

780
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: is a sunny Thursday afternoon here in Buffalo, Saint Patrick's Day, March, Madness,

781
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: free agency, Von Miller. I mean, you combine these things altogether,

782
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I could think of a

783
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: more perfect day today. It's such a good day. I'm

784
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: not even missing playing golf or anything. I know, you

785
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: have your golf shoes on, though I asked you earlier,

786
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: are you golfing today? That's the thing. The modern golf

787
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: shoes can be worn as a casual footwear, so you

788
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: know I don't have you know, they don't wear the

789
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: old metal spikes anymore, so I can wear these things

790
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: all the time. So whenever a game breaks out, I'm ready. Yeah,

791
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: you're ready to golf at the drop of a hat.

792
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even missing it today though, Man, the von

793
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: Miller stuff that you know. O. J. Howard Sapple, de

794
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Quan Jones, Tim settle. Everybody's signing papers today, a tournament.

795
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: Then the weather spectacular, what I mean, Buffalo is going

796
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: to tease us with this weather, and then this is

797
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: all right, I hope not. Saint Patrick's Day, twenty twenty two.

798
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: Let it be known. It's on a shortlist. Let it

799
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: be known everybody in the world. It's on the shortlist.

800
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: Today goes down in the elite book. All right. We've

801
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: got several callers because of all the moves that the

802
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have made, Brandon Bean has made. Got a

803
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: bunch of players coming in today signing their contracts and

804
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: then later doing press conferences. Hopefully it's before three o'clock.

805
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: We will see. We are still waiting as we approach

806
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: the two o'clock hour. But let's go to Chase in Tennessee.

807
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: I believe what would you like to talk about today? Yeah,

808
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: I would still like to know. Um, oh, how are

809
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: you guys today? I'm sorry, doing good sight? Go ahead,

810
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: get get to your point. You don't have to be nice. No,

811
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: go go after him, Go ahead, man. I still would

812
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: like to know how a guy coming off a torn

813
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: acl And I don't know Dean Jackson's going to cover

814
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey. I still don't get that.

815
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: And let's just say, von Miller, who's gonna be thirty

816
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: three in less than ten days? You know, I mean

817
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: he can easily be doubled, right, So you're you're accounting

818
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: on Greg Rousseaux on the other side. You know, he

819
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't have Aaron Donald playing next to him anymore. Well,

820
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: he didn't have Aaron Donald. He didn't have Aaron Donald

821
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: for ten years in Denver, and he put up Hall

822
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: of Fame numbers there as well. And he put up

823
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: nine and a half sacks in the regular season last year,

824
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: and that was missing a game or two as he

825
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: got acclimated to the Rams scheme of doing things. So listen,

826
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: von Miller's got a lot of football left in him.

827
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: And I understand your thing about the Bills still got

828
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: to get by Kansas City. And I'll tell I'll say

829
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: you this again. The Bills were good enough to beat

830
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs two years ago, not just this last January,

831
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: but two years ago. They beat him in Week five

832
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: last year. This is a team that's good enough to

833
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: beat him now. And believe me, the Chiefs are circling

834
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: the Bills game as well. They want no part of

835
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 1: this roster either, because Josh carved him up last year.

836
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: And it may be that it'll be one of those

837
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: matchups where the Bills have got to score thirty six

838
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: or forty points to win it. But don't think for

839
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: a minute the Bills don't think they can do it.

840
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: Plus a guy like Von Miller, a guy like Turdavious

841
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: White coming back, Dane Jackson, and the safety's poorer and

842
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: hide the defensive secondary of the Bills is way better

843
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: than the defensive secondary of the Kansas City Chiefs, and

844
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: all it takes in a game like that. And you

845
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: know this too, is one play one way or the other,

846
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: a tipped interception, whatever you call, forced fumble, whatever it is.

847
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: And that's how close these games are. So the Bills,

848
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 1: you gotta think like where they're at right now, going

849
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: into Kansas City and any point in history. And you know,

850
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City is sitting there looking like they want no

851
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: part of it either. So both these clubs are at

852
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: the top of the conference. And yeah, it's gonna be

853
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: a tough game even if we had Turnavious Wife and

854
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: j C. Jackson. You know, a guy like jac jack Hill?

855
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,479
Speaker 1: What about him? I mean who? I mean, a guy

856
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: coming off the torn acl Who's gonna stop Tyreek Hill? Who?

857
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: Who stops him? For everybody else? I don't know. He's

858
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: probably the best receiver in the league. Okay, okay, I'll

859
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: give you that. What So, who's so Tyreek Hill is

860
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna carry the Kansas City Chiefs to the super Bowl again?

861
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't last year. Tyreek Hill and Travis

862
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: Kelsey will they didn't last year? Right? I mean they?

863
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can say that Patrick Mahomes

864
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: had the first bad game of his career. Maybe. But

865
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you don't think, if you don't

866
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: think the Bills are good enough to beat the Chiefs,

867
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you're watching that that overtime game in

868
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City's era ahead I don't think you're watching the

869
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: overtime division round. Yeah, Jyreech snapped off a sixty five

870
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. That's good for him. Kelsey had to

871
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: end the thirteen seconds. You can debate all you want

872
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 1: because because nobody in America, it's outside of Travis Kelsey

873
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: thought that Chiefs are gonna win that game with thirteen

874
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: seconds left. But if you don't think the Bills are

875
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: good enough to beat the Chiefs, I don't know what

876
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: to tell you. Certainly they're really good, nobody's denying that.

877
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: But you think the Chiefs want to play the Bills

878
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: every weekend either, well, I mean, you can't play the

879
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: same team every weekend. That's not how it works. I'm saying,

880
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: when it comes down to crunch, time's gonna stop. Travis

881
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: Kelsey and tyree kill the whole You got eleven guys

882
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: doing it. And I'll tell you this. If you don't,

883
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: if you don't think it can happen, here's what you do.

884
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: You go bet your money on the Chiefs then and

885
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: I'll take it all right. Thanks for the called chase.

886
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: We've got to take a break. But I'll let me

887
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: say before we take a break, I mean do not

888
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: count Tredevius White out because he's coming out of an

889
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: ACL injury. This kid is working as hard as possible

890
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: as he can in the training room, probably right now.

891
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: I don't know a harder worker than Tredevius White. He

892
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 1: is the player he is today because of how hard

893
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: he works before practice and after practice. And you better

894
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: believe he's doing that right now in the training room.

895
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: Do not count that player out because I expect him

896
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: to have an amazing season next year, a cl injury

897
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 1: or not. He's in here all the time. Don't don't

898
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: talk bad about train White, right, don't. Yeah, I'll go off.

899
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: He's uh, yeah, he's great, and he's working hard. We

900
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: see him all the time. He's rehabbing here at the stadium,

901
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: off and on. You know, our schedules don't always mesh,

902
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: but you see him out here rehabbing, and I get it.

903
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are still out there with Tyreek Hill and

904
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. I get it. If you don't think the

905
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: Bills can beat him, Okay, that's fine. That doesn't keep

906
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: him from taking a swing at it. Um. I like

907
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 1: our chances. That's all I can say. We can continue

908
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: the conversation on the other side of this break when

909
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: Those Live is presented by Collide Health. On Buffalo Bills

910
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: Radio Buffalo had a Steve Tasker who has been all

911
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: over the fields unique. He was kind of a dual

912
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: role player for you. Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not

913
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: even in the straded fear of normalcy. Both been too.

914
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: One Bills Live Matti Glave alongside Steve Tasker. As we

915
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: approach our second hour of the show, plenty to talk about,

916
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: plenty of moves here in Buffalo during the free agency period.

917
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: We kind of thought, you know, maybe maybe it would

918
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: just be dead here this week. Maybe we wouldn't be

919
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: be rolling up the Brinks truck here, you know, maybe

920
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: wedn we wouldn't even be working today. There's March Madness

921
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: basketball going on. Let's head over to the Key Bank

922
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: Center check it out there. But today is a busy

923
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: day here at One Bills Live, One Bills Drive, and

924
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. The Kwan Jones, Tim Suttle, Von Miller

925
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: in town. I mean, wow, Yeah, we knew that the

926
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: Bills were thin on the defensive line. They lost Mario Addison,

927
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: Jerry who's a free agent, Vernon Butler, all these guys

928
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: that you know aren't here. Harrison Phillips, no less, Justin

929
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: Zimmer is rehabbing. So it's you know, they they were

930
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: light bodies and then all of a sudden they got

931
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: a couple of defensive tackles and you know, the an

932
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: elite pass rusher that won the Super Bowl this last February. Yeah,

933
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: it's a pretty busy day. Brandon Bean is making moves.

934
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: The scouting department is hard at work. They're trying to

935
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: get this team to a play at least they haven't

936
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: been in good amount of years since you were on

937
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: the team in nineteen ninety four January ninety four, so

938
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: it's he has been thirty eight years. Man, it's a

939
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: long long time, long wait, long wait, of course, And

940
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: we have lots of people hanging on the line here

941
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: wanting to talk about the Von Miller news, wanting to

942
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: talk about maybe some other players that the Bills should

943
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,479
Speaker 1: be interested in. So let's go over to Robert from

944
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: West Seneca. Robert, you're on with us now. Do you

945
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: think the Bills should be going after another player who's

946
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: still available? Yeah, I was just I just want to

947
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: say happy Saint Patrick's dating. Also, I was kind of

948
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: curious because I had seen yesterday a post from Isaiah

949
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: McKenzie on Twitter. He had kind of very unique approach

950
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: to recruiting. He tagged Julio Jones in a post thing,

951
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: don't worry, you don't have to play here in the cold,

952
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: just show up on Sundays. And I just wondering what

953
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: you thought about that. And I know there's also some

954
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: rumors about possibly DK Metcalf being available. And another thing

955
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: that I also had mentioned was I love Singletary with

956
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: all my heart. I think he's a great running back.

957
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: He's very shifty. I'm a fan of shifty running backs,

958
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: but I think he'd be a great backup. I'm still

959
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 1: looking for that start running back. Yeah, what do you think, Steve,

960
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: you want to start with Julio and there? Yeah, I

961
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: don't know if anything's gonna happen with Julio Jones. I

962
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: don't even know if if he's going to be available

963
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: or yeah, or DK either. I heard some rumblings about

964
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: DK as well, and the Seattle Seahawks seem to be

965
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: moving in a different direction and who's pulling the trigger

966
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: there may give guys like DK Metcalf a chance to

967
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: sit up and say, you know what, how about just

968
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: getting me out of here while you redo this quarterback thing.

969
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's a really good thrower, and DK Metcalf knows it.

970
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he knows how good Drew Locke's going

971
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: to be or anybody else who they've got. So yeah,

972
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: that for Julio Jones and those guys moving around. Maybe

973
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf. I'm not gonna say never because I said

974
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen with von Miller or a guy

975
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: like Chandler Jones or any of that stuff. And yet

976
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: here we are today with Von Miller being a Buffalo

977
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: Bill other than that with Devin Singletary. Yet they're gonna

978
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: get another body in. They're gonna bring another wide receiver in.

979
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: And I heard somebody say today, maybe it was sal today, said, hey, listen,

980
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: it gives you an idea of what they're looking for

981
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: in a running back. And I don't know that that's

982
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: completely true. Certainly Dk Metcalf has a skill set. The

983
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: Bills would cove it. A guy who can catch the

984
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield and give you a little

985
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: something with speed. But I think the Bills are just

986
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: looking to find the best possible player at that spot

987
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: and maybe the most versatile player at that spot, but

988
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: also the best player at that spot that they can

989
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: get for the cheapest amount of money. I don't think

990
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: it's a position that the Bills, you know, put a lot,

991
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: a great deal of financial value on. But Kissing agreed

992
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: to a deal that was what seven million a year

993
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: or a two year deal for seven million fourteen million

994
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: or something like that. Two years for fourteen million something

995
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: like that. That's that's a big number. And I think

996
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: that's more of what it says about the Buffalo Bills

997
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: more so than the skill set that DK brings to

998
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: the table. I think you're right. If they're gonna get

999
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: a guy, they're gonna get a guy that can come

1000
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: in and compete, to start and to take snaps and

1001
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: earn snaps in the backfield, just like Devin did over

1002
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: Zack Moss last year. Yeah. Like I know, they gave

1003
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady like Leonard for Nutt and so many of

1004
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,479
Speaker 1: these good you know, like Green Bays got to start

1005
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 1: running back and then I'm just looking for that big,

1006
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: big stud running back. I feel like that's all we're missing.

1007
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: I Mean, the run game was so crucial even back

1008
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: in the nineties, like when the Giants came and you thought,

1009
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, we are a past having you know, powerhouse

1010
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: offensive Giants came and just ran down our throats. And

1011
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: I feel like the rue game is so important to

1012
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: establish just you got to have balance. You can't a

1013
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: pass first always team. It's never gonna work. I mean

1014
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: it can nebe once or twice. But I don't know.

1015
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: I just I feel like as far as like longevity

1016
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: and everything, like to ask you won a constant. Well,

1017
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing I think, Robert, and I think it's

1018
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: a different league than when I played in the nineties

1019
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: and the eighties. It's just different. It's a much more

1020
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: throwing league. The Bills. You know, if every team, just

1021
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: about every team in the league throws way more than

1022
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: they pass, significantly more statistically and situationally, every time they

1023
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 1: throw it more than they run it. Now there's certain

1024
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: their aberrations to that. Certain teams will do less of that.

1025
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: Like you get a team like the Baltimore Ravens with

1026
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: the running quarterback or the Tennessee Titans with a singular

1027
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: talented running back like Derrick Henry. But I think one

1028
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: of the reasons the Bills did not run the ball

1029
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: as much last year. And I'll tell you this too,

1030
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: and you can get your mind around this. It's easy enough.

1031
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: If the Bill is going to run the football more,

1032
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: that means Josh Allen's gonna throw it less. I don't

1033
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: know if that's the best way to win games. But

1034
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: one of the problems the Bills had running the football

1035
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: a year ago, in my opinion, was the fact that

1036
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line was continually shuffled every single week of

1037
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: the regular season. They never started a game. They didn't

1038
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: start more than two games with the same five at

1039
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: any stretch through the first fifteen weeks of the season.

1040
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: Only until the game in New England where they lost

1041
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: Ike Buttker to an achilles. They plugged Ryan Bates in,

1042
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: moved Darryl Williams down to guard, and threw Spencer Brown

1043
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: back into the mix along with Dion Dawkins. They went Dawkins, Bates, Morse, Williams,

1044
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: Brown for the rest of the way through the playoffs,

1045
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Devin Singletary started to

1046
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: run the ball. Well, that's no coincidence to me. In

1047
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: my opinion. The offensive line had more to do with

1048
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: the lack of success of the running game than Devin Singletary,

1049
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: Zach Moss or Matt Brida. I'll still I'll die on

1050
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: that hill. Yeah. So I'm because every time you see

1051
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Sequon Barkley go down, all of a sudden,

1052
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: the Giants pull out some guy and he can play.

1053
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: And the Denver Broncos have a guy go down, and

1054
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they pull out a guy that

1055
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: he can really play. You know that all these teams loose,

1056
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, Zeke Elliott goes down, and all of a

1057
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: sudden they got Marcus Pollard. I think it's not Marcus,

1058
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: but Pollard goes in and he's playing as well as

1059
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: Zeke ever did. And they're doing it for ten percent

1060
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: of the money. So I yes, great running backs awesome,

1061
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: But for every great running back, there's three guys that

1062
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: could give you ninety percent of that production for ten

1063
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: percent of the price. And that's what I think is

1064
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: the smart way to go. If you want to run

1065
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: the ball, better get a better offensive line. And I

1066
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: think you know the Bills are trying to do that. Robert,

1067
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: I think dropped off a little bit earlier. Then Sorry

1068
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: are bad, but good points that you bring up important

1069
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: topics to talk about. Two I agree on on the

1070
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver end. I mean, you look at free agency,

1071
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: you look at the knees that the Buffalo Bills have,

1072
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: and yes, you could argue that there is a need

1073
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: now a wide receiver with the Bills releasing Cole Beasley,

1074
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: But I think you have your heavy hitters already in

1075
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room. So I don't see them spending

1076
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: any money that they don't need to spend, like above

1077
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: what they need to spend on a wide receiver. And

1078
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: who knows how much Julio Jones would have been. Who

1079
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: knows how much some of these other wide receivers who

1080
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: are still available will be. I think they're gonna want

1081
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: to get a deal if they do get a wide

1082
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: receiver in free agency, because you have Stefan Diggs, you

1083
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 1: you have Gabriel Davis, you have Isaaiah Mackenzie. You have

1084
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, who of course is a tight end, but

1085
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: is a pass catching tight end and he's going to

1086
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: be on the field this next season. Maybe you get

1087
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in the draft. I don't think that's

1088
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: a huge need for them in free agency to you know,

1089
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: sign a huge name. I just don't see that happening

1090
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: of Some of it comes down Mattie too to what

1091
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: do they think of Isaiah Hodgens, guy they have on

1092
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: their roster. I know Jake Humero is always active on

1093
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: game day because of special teams mostly, but he takes

1094
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: offensive snaps every single game. He's a great blocker. He

1095
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: saw him last year catch a couple of passes. He

1096
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Josh put one just out of his reach in the

1097
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: New England game. In New England, he was gonna have

1098
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. So they trust him, and a lot

1099
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: of what they might be thinking at free agent wide

1100
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: receiver may have a lot to do with Hodgens and

1101
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Kumerow standing there waiting to get in. And also Mark

1102
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: has Marquess Stevenson who is also in the mix. Soe

1103
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: role is on offense and special teams this next year.

1104
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the group they had on the

1105
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: field last year with Emmanuel Sanders, Gabe Davis, Cole Beasley,

1106
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, it's hard to get on the field. So

1107
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: as good as Mark Quest Stevenson might have been, or

1108
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: as good as Isaiah Hodgins might have been, as good

1109
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: as Kumarro might have been. It's hard to get break

1110
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: in there and get significant snaps away from any of

1111
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: those guys, particularly when Gabe Davis is sitting there waiting

1112
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: to get on the field. So those guys may be

1113
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: good enough to play, and they just couldn't find a

1114
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: spot on the Bill's ross Russ here, I don't know,

1115
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying they are, but that may have

1116
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: that opinion, and depending the Bills coaching staff about those

1117
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: young players, may have something to do with why they

1118
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: haven't pulled the trigger on a free agent wide receiver yet.

1119
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: And certainly there's nothing keeping them from draft in one

1120
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: because this draft, like the last two or three or four,

1121
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: is deep again in wide receivers. A lot of people

1122
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: think can step right in and contribute. And a lot

1123
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: of people talk about if you talk about players coming

1124
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: out of the draft and even look down the road

1125
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: a few years, because of how the college game is

1126
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,439
Speaker 1: played now and because of the quarterbacks that you're seeing

1127
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: in the college game, they expect it to be heavy

1128
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: at wide receiver for plenty of years down the road.

1129
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Just because of that. That's what's in right now in

1130
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: college football is these different type of versatile wide receivers

1131
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: who can be used in the slot and who can

1132
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: then also be a deep threat and are really quick,

1133
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: and some of them are really tall, some of them

1134
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: are smaller. But wide receiver is a position that you're

1135
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: going to be able to get in the draft for

1136
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. When you talk to Draft Alice,

1137
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: when you talked to I think I had a conversation

1138
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: with Cynthia Freeland at the Combine about this, and she,

1139
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, said, don't worry. Wide receivers are going to

1140
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: be there this year. They were there last year, they

1141
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: were there the year before, They're going to be there

1142
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: next year. It's just what we're seeing translate in the

1143
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: college football game right now. It used to be when

1144
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: I when I was a kid way back in you know,

1145
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the dark ages, that the teams were running wishbone, you know,

1146
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they were running triple option. It was a

1147
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: it was a college was a running game, and the

1148
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: NFL was a little bit along the lines of that.

1149
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: And all the really good athletes, if they wanted to play,

1150
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: they wanted to play running back because that's the only

1151
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: place you could get your hands on the football. Nobody

1152
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: threw the football enough to give a guy enough to

1153
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: make it interesting enough to go out and he's gonna

1154
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: get at least, you know, was he gonna get three

1155
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: targets a game? Maybe, So nobody wanted to play that

1156
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: game that position when they were growing up as kids.

1157
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: Then you know, they started getting seven on seven games,

1158
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: and more and more kids wanted to play quarterback, and

1159
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: so you get better athletes, bigger athletes. Guys who would

1160
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: have been tight ends in the past are playing quarterback.

1161
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: You get better arms, guys who can see it better,

1162
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: just more options. And so teams, begrudgingly and little by

1163
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: little started throwing it a little more at lower levels,

1164
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more at lower levels. More and more

1165
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: major college teams said, all right, we got a guy,

1166
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: We'll just throw it a little bit. We got a guy.

1167
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: So a few more of those teams did it, and

1168
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: then when they saw those guys on TV, younger kids

1169
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: started coming up expecting to be able to throw the football.

1170
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: So it expanded and expanded down through the ranks, and

1171
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: now you've got great athletes saying, I'm gonna play wide out.

1172
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: That's the money, that's the money. Spot. Don't I'm gonna

1173
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: get more hands, I'm gonna get my hands on the

1174
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: ball more in space at wide out than I am

1175
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: at running back because you know, they're not running it

1176
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: that much. Plus I won't get you know, my leg's broken.

1177
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: So the game has evolved through you know, the media

1178
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: attention of teams being able to throw the football, the

1179
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: concepts getting better, it's better coached, is better coached at

1180
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: lower levels. Kids are getting better coached at lower levels

1181
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: to be more polished at the next level. And so

1182
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: now the result and the current moment in history is

1183
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: that every Power five school has got guys that are

1184
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: athletic enough to play at the pro level. The question

1185
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: is are they football smart enough? Are they skilled enough?

1186
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Are they polished enough at route running and concepts and

1187
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: all of the things at the higher levels of football demand.

1188
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: Are they good enough at that? That's really the only

1189
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: thing that keeps them in or out of the NFL. Yeah,

1190
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: we have talked about everywhere. Yeah, how many years in

1191
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: a row have we said, oh, this draft class is

1192
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: stacked out wide receiver. The last three years we've been

1193
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: saying it. We're gonna say it for more years to come.

1194
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: We should announce that Tim Settle has signed his contract

1195
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: with the Bills. It's a two year deal. He's a

1196
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: defensive tackle going into his fourth season. He's played in

1197
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: sixty three games, has had seven sacks in his career,

1198
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: twelve TFLs and twelve quarterback hits. He had five sacks

1199
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and was drafted by Washington in the

1200
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: fifth round of the twenty eighteen NFL drafts. He comes

1201
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,919
Speaker 1: from Virginia Tech Is where he played collegiately. It's also

1202
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: being reported as well Ryan Bates, who finished the season

1203
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, and he was the swing tackle,

1204
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: the swing guard, this backup center. He could play all

1205
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: five spots and he finished the season at left guard

1206
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. He's meeting with the Vikings. Per

1207
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: league league source. Bates has a right of first refusal

1208
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: tender by the Bills, so the Bills would not be

1209
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: compensated if they don't match an offer sheet by this

1210
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Vikings or any other team that Bates is speaking to.

1211
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: So Bates speaking to the Vikings. He's a restricted free agent,

1212
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: and that's in the wake of Tim Settle, defensive tackle,

1213
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 1: signing a two year deal with the Bills. Yep, so

1214
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: good things note here, as pieces continue to shift as

1215
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: guys continue to be added to the Bill's roster. And

1216
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I also wanted to bring up the point that Robert

1217
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: made about a running back in Buffalo and trying to

1218
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: hit a home run there and liking Singletary but wanting

1219
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: something different. Here's my two cents on it. Josh Allen

1220
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: is going to throw the ball. That is what the

1221
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Bills are known for, that is what wins them games.

1222
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: We have Stephan Diggs on the roster. That's the bread

1223
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: and butter right there. Why are you going to mess

1224
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 1: a good thing up? Devin Singletary was a huge help

1225
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: to the offense when the offensive line saw consistency. Like

1226
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: you said, Steve, over the last four weeks of the

1227
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season, let me pull up the stat here.

1228
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: The Bills ranked second in rushing yards per game. One

1229
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one point eight is what they averaged

1230
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: per game from weeks fourteen through eighteen. Yes, Josh Allen

1231
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: did carry so that load, but Devin Singletary was scoring

1232
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown after rushing touchdown and had big numbers in

1233
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:10,479
Speaker 1: terms of yard in terms of his rushing yards per game,

1234
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: and his yards per carry was pretty up there. If

1235
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: I can remember. So I think Devin Singletary works in

1236
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: this offense. I don't think you're ever going to draft

1237
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: that guy who's gonna be your number one and the

1238
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: most important piece of the offense, because that is not

1239
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills are. If you have a different

1240
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: type of quarterback here, sure go go draft Dereck Henry

1241
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: and make that the biggest part of your offense. But

1242
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: that's not Buffalo. And that's not going to happen in

1243
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo because what running back who wants twenty carries the

1244
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: game is going to come here? None? None. Maybe that's

1245
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: what Jad McKissick was was thinking. He's thinking that they're

1246
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: throwing team. He's not gonna, you know, for the same money,

1247
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get at least a chance to contribute more

1248
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: so than running back that would playing for Buffalo. And

1249
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: I and I said that too when I was, when

1250
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: I was, you know, answering the questions about, you know,

1251
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: getting a new running back. Every time you run the football,

1252
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: it's a you take the ball out of the hands.

1253
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: He the best player on your team, that's josh Um.

1254
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: He's not getting a chance to get a chunky yardage.

1255
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: He's not getting at a chance to getting one of

1256
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: the guys who can run after the catch. So to me, running, yes,

1257
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to run it. It's always going to

1258
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: be a part of the NFL. But at this point

1259
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: in history, the entire league is about throwing the football.

1260
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: Nobody if it was about running it, nobody'd be looking

1261
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,879
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson, nobody'd be looking to trade for Russell Wilson,

1262
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 1: nobody'd be looking for Tom Brady to come out of retirement. Yeah,

1263
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: nobody would. Yeah, it's so it's a throwing league, there's all.

1264
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: There's no two ways about it. It's a throwing league.

1265
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that you've got a team like Tennessee,

1266
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: and you've got a team like Baltimore, and you've got

1267
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 1: a team like the Indianapolis Colts who run it predominantly.

1268
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Um even the San Francisco forty nine ers. They run it,

1269
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: and they run it well, and they run it into

1270
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: unique fashion. But they do it with play. They got

1271
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: to play action and all of that. And you look

1272
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: at the team, you know, you look at the you

1273
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: look at what they think is holding them back. It's

1274
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Yeah, so they need that guy. When you've

1275
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: got it. You got to you gotta exploit it, you

1276
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: gotta flaunt that. You know, there might be an air

1277
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: again in the future where we're running the football becomes

1278
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: the thing again. But it is not right now. It's

1279
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: not right, and I'm not saying it's not important. Plus

1280
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: it makes things so much easier when you can run

1281
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: it at will. But if you can run it at will,

1282
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see um you have in the Tennessee Titaness,

1283
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 1: even the Tennessee tight just throw the football a lot. Yeah,

1284
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: so and the run game opens up the passing game

1285
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: so so many times. You know, that's how offenses work.

1286
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: You can't just have one thing all the time. You

1287
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: can be predominantly good at one thing, but you've got

1288
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: to support it with something else. Yeah. The more ways

1289
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: you can win a football game offensively, the more successful

1290
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: you're going to be. If and that's the way the

1291
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: Bills have been. I mean, then the last month of

1292
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: the season, you mentioned they were running the football really well,

1293
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: but also Josh was throwing it really well, and the

1294
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: defense was playing, you know, really well at the end,

1295
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: and you know that's when you're Bills could beat you

1296
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: with Isaiah McKenzie they could beat you with Steph Diggs.

1297
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary was playing really well. Dawson Knox was catching

1298
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Whatever matchup you gave the Buffalo Bills offensively,

1299
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: they were going to exploit it and and that's why

1300
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: they were winning. So you know, certainly, if you got

1301
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: a run game, that's one more way you can beat

1302
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: a team when they take something else away. Yeah, I agree,

1303
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us. When we come back,

1304
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: we may hear from some of these players shortly. I

1305
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: would expect Tim Settle might be right around the corner

1306
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: because he just signed his contract. He's looking extra good

1307
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: in a suit and a tie. Let me say he

1308
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: dressed up to sign his contract with the Bills. Don't

1309
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: go anywhere. One Bills Live is presented by Clyde Help

1310
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live.

1311
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: We've been taking plenty of phone calls from our listeners.

1312
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 1: Everybody's excited about the moves that the Bills have been

1313
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: making over the last twenty four hours, and maybe we'll

1314
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: make over the next twenty four to forty eight hours.

1315
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: We don't know what remains for Brandon Bean and the

1316
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Scouts here with the Bills. You never know what's going

1317
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 1: to happen. Latest thing that Ryan Bates the swing guard

1318
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: and the back up to Mitch Morrise. He backs up

1319
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: all five positions. Yeah, he finished the season. Left guard

1320
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: is talking to the Vikings today. He's a restricted free agent.

1321
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 1: So the Vikings make him an offer and the Bills

1322
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: decide not to match it. He will go as a

1323
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: free agent. So we'll see what the how that comes

1324
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: out up in Minnesota with Ryan Bates. Harrison Phillips. Virson

1325
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Phillips is already there. You know, he's probably giving glowing

1326
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: reports about Bates and how he's you know, what kind

1327
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: of teammate he is, So it'll be interesting to see

1328
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: most Definitely, we've got a couple more callers hanging on

1329
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: the line. We will get to them before maybe Tim

1330
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Settle joins us here. We are getting weird that he's

1331
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,719
Speaker 1: coming to the podium right now, so we will wait

1332
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: to grab the phone calls in case we go right

1333
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: to Tim Settle. He already signed his contract with the Bills,

1334
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: a two year deal. He comes to the Bills from Washington.

1335
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 1: Had five sacks in twenty twenty five TFLs and seven

1336
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: quarterback hits so defensive tackle, defensive tackle. Yes, fourth season

1337
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So as we're seeing the Bills are

1338
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: loading up on the offensive line and on the defensive line.

1339
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we're that shocked. No, we're not. Listen,

1340
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. Let's see what he sounds like.

1341
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's pitch it to Tim Settle giving his

1342
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:28,720
Speaker 1: introductory press conference as one of the new Buffalo Bills players.

1343
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, obviously four years of Washington, you probably didn't

1344
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: the play of time you get just is that what

1345
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: got a part of the decision to want to get

1346
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: out of there and go somewhere fresh. I feel like

1347
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: it signed to hay that step you know, uh, you know, uh,

1348
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: being behind the guys, I was behind you know that.

1349
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: I felt like that was getting me ready for it.

1350
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Times like this, you know, you know, play player role,

1351
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, do what you gotta do, tell us your time.

1352
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: And I feel like it was time for me to

1353
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: fifty chapter signs of the new book. When he frustrated there, No,

1354
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: it's all I all love there, It's all love, you know.

1355
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: I love the coaches, I love the organization, I love

1356
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: I love Washington. It's a time for there was a

1357
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: time for a new new book, new chapter. Why do you?

1358
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Why not? But um, this the atmosphere, you know, this

1359
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: this who this team is, the energy, their brain, you know,

1360
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: the family is welcoming. You know. I feel like when

1361
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: it came down and picking a decision, it was kind

1362
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,400

1375
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: from your perspective, how is among the NFL players, how

1376
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:26,000

1379
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 1: tell every week they want to win. It's a winning

1380
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,360

01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: feel the intensity, especially during the game where fans can

1469
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: do so. Virginia a similar to ask, yes, yes, I

1470
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: feel I feel the energy to vibe. But I played

01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: here a few times and it's been the same every time,

1472
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 1: and I do not like it, but like I like

1473
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: it being on the team. So people gotta deal with that.

1474
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I don't gotta deal with it anymore. Ylistically,

01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Gold, look at some of your highlights. I

1476
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,000

Speaker 1: looks like you were even were rushing with at the

1478
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: point I team off. Yet is that you kind of

1479
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: like hang your hat on that your versatility? Good? Do

1482
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: about what you can do. You gotta be able to

1483
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: do it all. You know, this is a this is

1484
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: an NFL's a new generation. Everybody could play everything. Everybody

1485
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: could rush, everybody can stop the run. You gotta be

1486
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 1: able to do it all. And you gotta be a

1487
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: jack of ball trades. And uh, if I give I'll

1488
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: play the one zero, two, three, four, five, six, seventy

1489
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: always to ten. I don't get whatever they need me

1490
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: to play, whatever they need me to play, I'm gonna

1491
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: do it. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to ball.

1492
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have a lot of questions. I

1493
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: ain't gonna question nothing. I'm just ready to play. Out

1494
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,560
Speaker 1: of college. What key emimating seem that you had to

1495
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: work on game get to this one? This uh this mindset,

1496
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 1: mindset for a for uh, this confident mentality, it's, uh,

1497
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 1: you gotta have you gotta have the mentality, and you

1498
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: gotta have a confidence of being dominant. To be able

1499
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: to keep up with being dominant, you gotta think it

1500
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: to to do it. So that's that that thing alone

1501
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: I learned. I learned soon I got in the NFL.

1502
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: You got to have confidence. Confidence is key. You got

1503
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: to almost sound cocky, but not cocky, you know. But

1504
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: that's that's that's how, that's why I go off of confidence.

1505
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: And I don't think nobody is on the same level

1506
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 1: as me. If at anything, that's just my confidence level.

1507
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 1: Did you meet von yet and you know you shot?

1508
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: Like I think the agreements the one day, you kind

1509
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,719
Speaker 1: of come into a situation and then that happens. Future

1538
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: new book. We're going on a new book. And my

1539
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: family loved it here. It's very welcoming, it's very family oriented.

1540
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: It's uh and it's a winning culture. UH. And this

1541
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 1: outside of footballs is love and you know that's what

1542
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: we want. It's comforting. That's all you could ask for

1543
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: the organization. Obviously for you, you're on the defensive side

1544
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: of things, and you know you talked about the relationships

1545
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 1: and the connections you've already made here. We've heard a

1546
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: lot of these last couple of months about this Josh,

1547
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: and I want to fact and how people want to

1548
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: play with joshing that factor off into your decision. Uh.

1549
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know what he's capable of.

1550
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:40,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't like ten percent was like, yeah, God, I

1551
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: just know what he's capable of doing. Uh, I don't know.

1552
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: It's I don't know. This is a team. I don't

1553
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: have to worry about the offense. Whatever they're gonna do it.

1554
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna be competing against offense. But I know what

1555
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: he's capable of doing. Uh. But that's I leave that

1556
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: up to him. He played offense, You play offense. You

1557
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 1: know I got a defense. This is all it is.

1558
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: They play, They get paid the play offense. I get

1559
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: play to play defense. So however it is, Josh, allen up. Look,

1560
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna be leaning on your shoulder. Uh. This

1561
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: is how you're gonna be leaving the RS if you

1562
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: need us at one point in time. But I just

1563
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: know he's he's a winner. He's just gonna win. He's

1564
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna get it done. Do you remember about playing here

1565
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:20,759
Speaker 1: in this past year, It's like we lost, we lost bad.

1566
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: I just how how I know? I noticed that the

1567
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: momentum here gets up and once it's going hit, you

1568
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,600
Speaker 1: better call it tim ard or somebody better play like

1569
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: they got a hamstring or something. Very score fifty five

1570
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: points because this is a team. It's now field snow,

1571
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: it's not no filter. You're gonna score. Tell you score

1572
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 1: one hundred points. And then you got the team. You

1573
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: got relentless defense, you got corners, you got safeties, you

1574
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: got linebackers. It's like, wow, I don't know what to

1575
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: look at us. This is like a it's like a

1576
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: food bar for like a like a candy pantry or

1577
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: something that you get all, you get all little bit

1578
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: to everything. It's I'm still singing it in. It's still

1579
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: it's a realm. I'm still shocked. This is a real moment.

1580
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: Go Buffalo, man, I want hard No, I don't know, man,

1581
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,920

1582
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: a part of this. I don't understand I played at

1583
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 1: three or eight, three or seven. That's the typically my

1584
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 1: playing with my rookie Yard came into a little around

1585
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: three twenty. But I got all the way down at

1586
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: three hundred by the end of the season. This I

1587
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 1: like playing under three ten. I love everything about this

1588
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:41,280

1593
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: not in terms of guests or people. We've had on

1594

1596
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Tim Settle. He just signed a two year

1597

Speaker 1: NFL career. Man. I loved his energy. I loved what

1599
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: he had to say. He seems so excited to be

1600
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,759
Speaker 1: playing on this defensive line. I get it too, because

1601
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: every every new player that comes to a new team,

1602
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,160

Speaker 1: ready to get started and you know here in Buffalo

1604
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: with Tim Settle is no different, particularly since you know

1605
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: he lands in town after agreeing to terms, and then

1606
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: after he agreed to terms, the team signs you know,

1607
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 1: one of the top pass rushers in the league as

1608
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: a free agent to play alongside of him. He gave

1612
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: when the Bills beat the Redskins. He knows the energy

1613
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: of a home crowd. He's played. He's a former teammate

1614
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:19,879
Speaker 1: of Tremaine Edmonds. He had at the beginning of the interview.

1615

Speaker 1: Ti thir Tim the third on his lap, who was

1617
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: not interested in hanging out, so he got down after

1618
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 1: a minute. But just yeah, that's the kind of energy

1619
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: you'd like to see. It's it's all over the league.

1620
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: We're no different. The Bills have got a lot of

1621
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 1: reasons to be optimistic. Everybody's optimistic at this time of year.

1622
