Praying for the tables, my friends, because 9 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills have reached an extension with the eighty 10 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: ninth pick of the twenty twenty two NFL Draft, four years, 11 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: fifty million, homegrown. He ain't going anywhere, my man. Terrell 12 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: Bernard linebacker Taylor Boom. 13 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: Boom, NFL Networks, Kyle Brandt waking us up on a 14 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 3: Friday afternoon task. 15 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: And if you're wondering why he's so excited about an 16 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: inside linebacker extended, he's Terrell Bernard's the guy that Kyle 17 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: Brandt announced in the in the draft. I think what 18 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: city was it. It was in Detroit? Was it? Or 19 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: or Chicago or Field somewhere. So Kyle brand is the 20 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: guy who announced Buffalo's draft pick that year, and he 21 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: had today he has. He was wearing the exact same 22 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: outfit that he wore when he and he was waving 23 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: a chicken wing. While when he announced get. 24 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 4: A chicken wing, he's in He's in York. I guess 25 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 4: he was in New York. 26 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Get in New York City. 27 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: I thought he was in LA for a second. Yeah, 28 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 3: you gotta go find a chicken wing. 29 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: There ain't no chicken wings in LA. But yeah, guys. 30 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: So that's why Brandt was so stoked up about Terrell 31 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: Bernard getting extended, because he's the guy that announced the 32 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: pick back in the day twenty twenty two. 33 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: I love that and I love that however, that went 34 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: down with with our staff to reach out to Kyle 35 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: Brandt and figure out, okay, you can, you can announce 36 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: this and then we will go with our information. I 37 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: love when a partnership like that happens, and such an 38 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 3: exciting day for Trell Bernard and for the Bills. We 39 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: are amidst free agency frenzy. The league year has not 40 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 3: started yet. That's on March twelfth, but ahead of March twelfth, 41 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 3: a lot of teams are moving things around to become 42 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: cap compliant. They're extending guys, releasing guys, and we are 43 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: starting to see what Buffalo's roster is going to look like, 44 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: not just this season, but for the next several seasons. 45 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: As Terrell Bernard is the next player to be extended 46 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: by the Buffalo Bills. It was Khalil Shakir first, and 47 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 3: here we are with our middle linebacker in Terrell Bernard 48 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: agreed to terms on a four year contract extension that 49 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: keeps him in Buffalo through the twenty twenty nine season. 50 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's an awesome to hear. And I say this, 51 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm half for Buddy Kyle. If you're making the pick 52 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: for a team and the guy turns out to be 53 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: you kind of feel like some ownership, right, You kind 54 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: of feel like, yes, my guy, that's my guy. Right, 55 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm the guy who you know, announced all he did 56 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: was announce it. I mean, somebody told you what to say, 57 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: but still you're the guy in the public eye saying, 58 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: all right, the Bills are taking this guy. And three 59 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: years later that guy gets extended and he's the dude. 60 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. I could imagine in the way 61 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: I would feel if I'd have been the guy that 62 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: picked you know whoever. 63 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would feel that way as well. Bernard 64 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: in his third season last year, I mean did a 65 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: lot of things for Buffalo. One of the most important 66 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: things I think he did on and off the field 67 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: was that he was selected by his teammates as just 68 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 3: one of two captains for Buffalo's roster last season. It 69 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 3: was him and Josh Allen. He's become one of the 70 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: most influential voices inside of the locker room. We heard 71 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: at the end of the season into the playoffs, inklings 72 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: of these speeches that Treell Bernard was giving inside the 73 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: locker room ahead of games, and how he really captured 74 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: the attention of the entire defense and the team. Just 75 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: in his third season, this guy is already taking big 76 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: steps forward to being a vocal leader. That doesn't always 77 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: come easy for a player, but with him coming out 78 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: of Baylor, and I remember looking at his tape and 79 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: reading about him, and the one thing that stuck out 80 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: was he may be undersized, but this guy is a 81 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: leader through in through, and that's what he's proven to 82 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: be in Buffalo in just three years. 83 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he doesn't have like it's not one of 84 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: those guys that's on team like, he's not Dion. You 85 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: know Dion's on all the social media makes everybody loves him, 86 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: and rightly so, he's he's more quiet. But inside the 87 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: building here and even when you hear guys like Brandon 88 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Being and Sean McDermott talk about players, there are certain 89 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: players that kind of have this level of deep respect 90 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: and importance in the words that the coach and the 91 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: GM and other players talk about. And Terrell is certainly 92 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: one of those guys. His emergence last year and his 93 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: first year as a starter was eye opening. Yeah, it was. 94 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: It was really amazing, and so that in and of 95 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: itself kind of set us up to expect him to 96 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: be this in this position. But having said that, I 97 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: don't think they're done. I mean I was. I'm a 98 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: little surprised they had, you know, because they were, you know, 99 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: as of yesterday, were eight million over. This may save 100 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: them some money on the cap with the way they're structured, 101 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: with the way it's structured, but there are other guys 102 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: as well that are in line. Who knows who they're 103 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: going to be. And plus when you start thinking about 104 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: getting cap compliant and all the guys they could restructure 105 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: and we can go back and look at it again 106 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: but I mean you're looking at Dion and Josh and 107 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: all these guys that are the bigger contracts. They can 108 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: clear some money if they so desire, if that's in 109 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: their plan. Like I said yesterday, we don't know they 110 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: know they're playing. We don't know they're playing. You know, 111 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: we don't know how they feel about all these guys. 112 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: So with all of that being said, you know, this 113 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: is just one more step in getting compliant. Yesterday, as 114 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: of this morning, the Bills are still eight point four 115 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: over the cap. So that's thirty first in the league. 116 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: So everybody's getting close. And eight million is you know, 117 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: that's nothing really, but you know the contracts are. It's 118 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: Josh Vaughan, ed Dion, Matt Mulano, Dawson Knox, Greg Russeau. 119 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: You know, all those guys are up. Grousseau is one 120 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: of those that's like he's the last year his cap 121 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: hit is exactly what his number is. You'd think, oh, 122 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: that's a guy that you could give the money. Now, 123 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: give him the money now his his salary, now that 124 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna payhim week by week, just give it to 125 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: him now. But he's not going anywhere. You can give 126 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: him that money now and save all that money on 127 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: the cap and Ben Presto chang Jo. Now you go 128 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: from being eight million eight eight and a half over 129 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: the cap, and just with doing Rousseau, you could be 130 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: six million under with one. And then you know, you 131 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: go down the list. Knox, Milano, Dawkins, Ed Vaughan and 132 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: Josh Vaughn will get you under the cap himself if 133 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: you if you just released him. So they've got some well, 134 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: I say they've got space. They got eight eight million 135 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: over the cap. But you see the math when you 136 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: see when you start looking at the it starts to 137 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: be evident what they're gonna do and how far and 138 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: how big is swing they're gonna take in free agency, 139 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: in the draft where their assets are gonna be allocated, 140 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: where they're gonna go heavy defense, in the draft where 141 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna make Are they gonna make a big swing 142 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: for a guy like Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati, Miles Garrett, 143 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: you know there's a you know, you know the guys 144 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: we've flirted with for ten years, like Khalil Mack, you 145 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean, He's been available a couple of 146 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: different times, and everybody's like bringing back to Buffalo. Because 147 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: it's ub grad man, this is I can't remember. I 148 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: guess it's because we have space and because we've seen this, 149 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: this is this is a lot more fun of an 150 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: off seat. Yeah, it's a much more fun off season 151 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: than it was last year. 152 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 5: Right. 153 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: Remember last year we were all dressed in black and 154 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, in sackcloth and ash.

His teammates look up to him. He's somebody 174 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: who makes big plays in the big moments. He can 175 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: drop into coverage and pick off a passer, or he 176 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: can and go and sack the quarterback. We've seen Bernard 177 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 3: do that several times. You want a player like that 178 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: on your team for several seasons in the future. He's 179 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: had back to back seasons of one hundred tackles at 180 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: least one hundred tackles, and last year he had some 181 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 3: huge games with game changing plays. Let's go back to 182 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: Buffalo's AFC Divisional game against the Baltimore Ravens. In the 183 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, he had a forced fumble that helped seal 184 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: Buffalo's victory in that game. And then in Week eleven 185 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: against the Kansas City Chiefs, with just over a minute 186 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: left on the clock, Bernard picked off Patrick Mahomes to 187 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 3: secure that victory. He's shown up in big moments and 188 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: the stats weren't as crazy as they were during the 189 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three season when he really flashed, but he 190 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: was a dependable player in some big games for Buffalo 191 00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: this past season. 192 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: Right Yeah, And it's like I said yesterday, and you 193 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: find out what they really think when they have to 194 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: take an action, right and the bills extending Bernard tells 195 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: you everything you need to know about what they think 196 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: of him. That's when you know what they think about 197 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: the guy. They're not just saying it because he's their 198 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: captain and they got to make nice for the locker 199 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: room and that kind of thing. They extended him. 200 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not going to pay somebody that much money 201 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: to make nice. 202 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: It's this time of year when you really find out 203 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: who they love, who's important to them, and who they 204 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: really have faith in as a good player and all 205 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: the things they look for. Extending these guys says it all. 206 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: And it's also going to happen when when they get 207 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: to the draft, what we really We're going to find 208 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: out what they really think of these guys too. 209 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: And I think the extensions that come in bunches around 210 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 3: this time of the season and even into the summer 211 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 3: is so cool because you get a look into who 212 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 3: the foundational pieces of the team are going to be 213 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: in the next several seasons. We're now kind of churning 214 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 3: into some turning over, turning into some new faces. Dion 215 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 3: is still a part of this roster and will be 216 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 3: for a long time, and same as Josh Allen, but 217 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 3: guys like Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde are no longer 218 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 3: on this team, and Tremaine Edmunds and Trey White. Those 219 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: were guys who used to be looked at as foundational 220 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: pieces to this roster. And now we're moving into a 221 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: different era of Khalil Shakir, of Terrell Bernard. Will see 222 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: what's in the cards for a Christian Benford and a 223 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: Greg Russo. But you're starting to see the guys who 224 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: the coaches really believe in and look to his leaders. 225 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's gonna be fun to see them 226 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: put this together again last year. Maybe we'll use this 227 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: as a topic at some point, Maddie that you got 228 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: to ask how much how much faith has and how 229 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: much of a longer leash. And it has Brandon being 230 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: given himself in this roster ban and certainly you can 231 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: you can point to things where you'd think maybe they 232 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: should have done better. Kyrie Elams continues to languish on 233 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: the bench, and Rousseau and the and aj Apanessa and 234 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: Oliver they're good players, but they're not game wreckers. They're 235 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: still everybody still wants to add to Miles Garrett or 236 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson or Max Crosby before he extended, you know, 237 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: so you know, certainly Brandon Bean has had his critics, 238 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: but man o man when they when they put it 239 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: together a roster last year and they with all the 240 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: the beloved veterans they released, and everybody's like, they can't 241 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: do it, They're not gonna be And then Sean McDermott 242 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: steps into the picture and maximize all this, and they 243 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: go to the AFC Championship game and they're like they're 244 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: thirteen and four again with a throwaway loss at the 245 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: end of the season. It's like that they said, yeah, yeah, 246 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: hold my beer. That it really is how much I'm 247 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: interested to know what most Bills fans I know. There's 248 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: there's on both ends of the spectrum. They're like, I 249 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: always thought Brandon Bean was the best gym in the NFL, 250 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: and there's some who the guy's an idiot. He can't 251 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: do anything right, and it's McDermott that's saving him, or 252 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: vice versa. Mcdermot's an idiot and Brandon Bean is saving him. 253 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: One of the two. We always have both ends of 254 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: the spectrum. But I'd like to know what most Bills 255 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: fans think about how good a job these guys have done. 256 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: There's only one other team that's even in the stratosphere 257 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: consistent for consistency over their tenure as GM head coach. 258 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: Only one. This is Kansas City, which is unfortunate for 259 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: us because they're in the same conference. We bang our 260 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: heads against that pole every year. But I'd be interested 261 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: to see how many. 262 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: I mean, they're up there and wins. They're up there 263 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 3: in playoff performances. They're ranked top three in several defensive 264 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: statistical categories. You look at offense, they're right there as well. 265 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: Josh Allen has crazy stats that pop off the page 266 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: since he's been here in Buffalo. You take a step 267 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: back and you think about what happened in twenty seventeen 268 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: when they walk through these doors, and it happened quickly, 269 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 3: them churning the roster into a playoff contending roster, saying 270 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 3: bye to some big pieces on the team, drafting a 271 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: quarterback and then filling out your roster from there, and 272 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: then it's just been let's go get the big one. 273 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: That's right. They've been within striking distance of the super 274 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Bowl every single year since two thousand and well, nineteen 275 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: they did it. In eighteen they or nineteen they got 276 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: to the playoffs with Josh and lost in Houston, and 277 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: they kept going and going and going on, and every 278 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: other team in the league has dipped. They missed the playoffs, 279 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: not one playoff games. They're They're one of a list 280 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: of two teams that have been right there every single 281 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs in their conference. At the top 282 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: of it, I'd be interested to know how much faith 283 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: even though we don't know their plan, We don't know 284 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: what the roster's gonna look like until it's done, we 285 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: don't know what their draft board looks like, how much 286 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: faith people have in Bean McDermott at this point. 287 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: I remember last off season when some of these releases happened, 288 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 3: and it did seem doom and gloom for Buffalo, and 289 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: people were calling in and people were commenting on Brandon 290 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: Bean and Sean McDermott and showing their anger and frustration 291 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 3: for what the team, what they thought the team was 292 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: gonna be. And I remember just saying, let's let's let's 293 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: trust that they know what they're doing, because they're in 294 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: these positions for a reason. And look what happened last year. 295 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 3: Now this year, you got some room to work with 296 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: and let's take a step forward. 297 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, that's a that's the thing that you really 298 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: feel like they certainly got it done last year when 299 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: they when they released all the veterans and the club 300 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: looked decimated at the leadership, you know, with all the 301 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: guys that had kind of helped drag the franchise out 302 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: of the out of the drought years and and those 303 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: got you know, pull your hide and Tredeavius, Tremaine Edmonds 304 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: was gone at that point. But you know, Mitch Morse 305 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: and you got you have to think and wow, it's 306 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough, yeah, you know, and they just 307 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: seemed like they had so much further to go this year. 308 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's a little bit we're being a little 309 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: bit too complacent as I think, Wow, it'll be easier 310 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: this year. Right, It's probably wrong to think that. It's 311 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: probably wrong to think that even on our part. But 312 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: and certainly there's gonna be those out there and say, well, 313 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: it wasn't them. They got lucky. They drafted Josh, and 314 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: Josh has done it, you know what I mean. Josh 315 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: is dragon and he has I mean, the guy was 316 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: m v P this year and should have been MVP 317 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: last year. So all of that stuff goes into the mix. 318 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: But they've got to you know, you look at the GM, 319 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: the head coach, the quarterback, the owner even and what's 320 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: going on across the street extending these guys. It's really 321 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: it's really intriguing to me, what you know, how much 322 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: cachet they've they've accumulated. Certainly Bill's mafia loves these guys. 323 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: I mean, what's not to love. But there's always there's always, 324 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, the cranky few. But this is and I 325 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: think that's where we're at. It's this this offseason seems easy. 326 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: That's really kind of what we're talking about. Right last year, man, 327 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: it was like, oh my gosh, how were we gonna 328 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: feel the team? What are we gonna do? 329 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: Are we gonna make it? 330 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna stink, And all of a sudden, you know, 331 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: they go thirteen and four and get to the AFC 332 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: Championship again. It's I'm I got a lot of faith 333 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: in these guys, I really do, But man, oh man, 334 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: I wish I knew. I wish I knew the next 335 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: couple of steps that they were going to take. And 336 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: I wish I knew that these guys that are getting 337 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: released now and all these really good players, Yeah, I 338 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: wish which ones are we going to have a shot? 339 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 3: Right? 340 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 4: Well, let's dive into that. 341 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 3: Let's go around the NFL presented by clyde to Health, 342 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 3: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. The news continues. 343 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 3: According to Adam Schefter, Washington has informed two time Pro 344 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 3: Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen that. 345 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 4: He is being released. 346 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: Sources to a handful of teams have expressed interest in Alan, 347 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 3: but they anticipated his release and felt that they could 348 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: sign him to a more desirable deal. By releasing Alan, 349 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 3: Washington saves over sixteen million dollars in cap space. They 350 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: were not planning to extend his contract, and Allan was 351 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: entering the final year of his deal with no more 352 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: guarantee money in a base salary at fifteen and a 353 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 3: half million. Allen missed nine games last season with a 354 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 3: torn left pectoral injury, but did make a comeback, playing 355 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 3: in the final two regular season games as well as 356 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: the playoffs. He is thirty years old, has played his 357 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 3: entire seven year career with the Commanders and has told 358 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: forty one sacks in one hundred and four games. It's 359 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: a defensive tackle who's a big name in this league. 360 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 3: We'll see what teams are interested, maybe if Buffalo is 361 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 3: in the mix as well. 362 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm certainly these all these guys that you know, 363 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: never there's a multiple Pro Bowl or released, a lot 364 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: of teams are going to be interested. He's thirty or 365 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: he's going to be thirty, maybe even thirty one this season, 366 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's something you got to take 367 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: into consideration. But the Bills, you know, they've got three 368 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: really important player, you know, defensive linemen who you know 369 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: are no longer on the roster. That's that's the thing, 370 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: and that's Jordan Phillips, Austin Johnson, Quinton Jefferson and Dwayne Smoot. 371 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 4: You gotta fill out those. 372 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: Missagents, So you got to do something. You gotta fill 373 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: those pieces out and if you can, I don't nothing, 374 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: no disrespect to the guys we have. We love and 375 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: respect all these guys I just mentioned. But if you 376 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: can upgrade, that's Brandon Bean's got to try. 377 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaking of upgrading, there's another defensive end who's available. 378 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 3: The Bengals are granting star defensive end Trey Hendrickson permission 379 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 3: to seek a trade. This came out right after we 380 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 3: went off air yesterday. Hendrickson led the team with seventeen 381 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: and a half, led the league with seventeen and a 382 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 3: half sacks last year, and was selected as first team 383 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: All Pro. He also had seventeen and a half in 384 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty three season. Hendrickson told Adam Schefter, It's 385 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: been an honor and a privilege to represent Cincinnati over 386 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 3: the last four years. I love this city and organization. 387 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: I appreciate the privilege of now being allowed to explore 388 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: my options. The pass rusher is thirty years old and 389 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 3: has had more than thirteen sacks at least thirteen and 390 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: four out of the last five seasons. 391 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 4: Talk about production. 392 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: In eight years in the league, he's totaled seventy seven 393 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: sacks and has played in one hundred and ten games. 394 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: Hendrickson started his career in New Orleans, and spent the 395 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 3: last four seasons in Cincinnati. This is a name that 396 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: has been at the top of the league in terms 397 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 3: of production getting to the quarterback over the last five seasons. 398 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been incredibly productive. The only downside of these 399 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: thirty all. 400 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: These guys were talking about are. 401 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: Like, that's what it is. It's a real thing. The 402 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: age factor Father time is absolutely undefeated in the NFL, 403 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: and how fast Father Time shows up is a question 404 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: of what the end of these guys' careers are going 405 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: to look like. Trey Henderson's had seventeen and a half 406 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: sacks in twenty three, seventeen and a half sacks in 407 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: twenty four, and this is twenty twenty five. Even if 408 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: he falls off, he's gonna have what twelve, it's another twelve, Yeah, 409 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: it's Yeah, he's a really intriguing guy. 410 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 3: But how much does a player like that command? 411 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: Yes, and how long do you have to pay him? 412 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: How and do you have to pay him past the 413 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: time when Father time does show up? Yeah, that's the problem. 414 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: So that's I I'll say this though too. I was 415 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: thinking about this today. Maddie. Buffalo is in a unique 416 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: spot where we're kind of for all of most of us. 417 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: It's unfamiliar territory. It really is kind of an attractive 418 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: free agent landing spot because they got a shot. You know, 419 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a shot at it. Yeah, you're gonna 420 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: have a shot at it. 421 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 3: You're a team that's contending for the super Bowl. All 422 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 3: these players that are being released that are seeking a trade, 423 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 3: they want to go to a team that's a contender. 424 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: We are a contender, and we have a great locker 425 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: room culture. And that's talked about amongst different teams, amongst 426 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: different NFL players. It's not cliche, it's a truth. I've 427 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: had conversations with guys who who are becoming free agents 428 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 3: who have said, this is the best culture I've played for. 429 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 3: It's the best time I've had inside of a locker room. 430 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 3: So that that speaks volumes to to guys who are 431 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 3: exploring their options and exploring what team they might want 432 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: to play for. Yeah, you're also going to play for 433 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 3: a quarterback in Josh Allen like, right, you're really awesome. 434 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: You're going to play on some nationally televised games. You're 435 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: going to be in the midst of the playoff run 436 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: from beginning an it to end. You're gonna have you 437 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: feel like you're really gonna have a shot to go 438 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: deep in the playoffs and be part of a team 439 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: that's got that's got a chance to win a ring 440 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: in a championship. That's that's a real thing as well, 441 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: particularly for the guys who, like we're talking about thirty 442 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: years old, they made some cash. 443 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: They they've been Yeah. 444 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: They've got their second contract, They've they've got a nest 445 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: egg to go out and pull the rip cord and 446 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: just live on a golf course somewhere if they want. 447 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 3: Give it my offer the next two seasons. 448 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: But I don't have a championship. This might be my 449 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: best chance chance. 450 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 3: Maybe I'd be willing to take a little less to 451 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 3: go get one. 452 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: That's right. What's that worth to me? Do I put 453 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: Buffalo on that list just because of that? Maybe? So 454 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: that's that's something that that hasn't I mean, listen, listen, 455 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo you know takes its share of slings and arrows 456 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: from the national media and all that, but it's a 457 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: real thing. The culture here and the and the winning 458 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: makes up for a long dark winter, you know. Yeah, 459 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm I think that's a real thing. So some of 460 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: these players are putting Buffalo on the list just because 461 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: they know they're going to have a shot at it. 462 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: That's something that's not always the case, right, I mean. 463 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: According to Tom Pellisero, Brown's defensive end Miles Garrett recently 464 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: requested a meeting with Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam, who declined 465 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 3: to speak to Garrett. The star pass rusher he requested 466 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 3: to be traded, but as of now, Cleveland is not 467 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 3: letting that happen. Mike Garrifolo also reported that ownership told 468 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 3: Garrett if he wants to discuss his future with the team, 469 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: he needs to talk to general manager Andrew Berry. Haslam 470 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 3: didn't want Garrett going around Berry, whom the owner trusts 471 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 3: to attempt to get a deal done. Garrett has spent 472 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: the last eight seasons with Cleveland his entire NFL career, 473 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 3: and in those eight seasons, the Browns have had just 474 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 3: two winning seasons. Garrett has played with nine different quarterbacks 475 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 3: who've had at least five starts. This guy's given his 476 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 3: all for this team. He's been a standout pass rusher 477 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: in the NFL in so many seasons. He's one of 478 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 3: the top pass rushing stars in this league and when 479 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 3: a guy like that, you know, is like, all right, 480 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: I've done my time here. I want to go win somewhere. 481 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: The quarterback deal here is not clear. Deshaun Watson is 482 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: rehabbing for a huge injury. You've got a top pick, 483 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 3: but what are you gonna do with that? It'll be 484 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 3: interesting to see what happens. Or if Andrew Berry is 485 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 3: just putting up this front right now saying we're not 486 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 3: gonna let it happen because he wants the asking prices 487 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: to go up right. 488 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: And that's the thing too. You can look there's two 489 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: ways to look at it. Is the owner wrong for 490 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: not taking the meeting, or is he right for saying, listen, 491 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: I I the GM handles it. 492 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: I can understand that. 493 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can understand it in this case, and 494 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: I get it. Miles Garrett is an absolutely premiere, top 495 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: notch player in the NFL, and it does say something 496 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: the owner would take the meeting, But there is also 497 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: a dynamic between the owner and the GM where the 498 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: GM's got to have the respect and trust of the owner. Yes, 499 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: and if the owner's saying, yeah, I'm gonna meet with 500 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: this guy because you're not doing the job, or in 501 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: some way, shape or form that optics. Yeah, yeah, it's 502 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: not good optics. I get it. I'm sure it doesn't 503 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: make Miles Garrett that happy. It probably makes him dig in. 504 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: But if the Browns and in all of when it's 505 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: all sudden done, if the Browns are sitting there saying 506 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: lest we are not absolutely going to trade him, he 507 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: can hold out all of that, He'll do well, all 508 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: of that stuff, we're still seeing, we're still not gonna 509 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: trade you. Then then that that's where they're at. Yeah, 510 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm I get it that Jimmy has them said now 511 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm not taking that meeting because you got to go 512 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: through the GM that. I get it. And there's if 513 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: that's a reason fans are always staying to guesh. I 514 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: hope the owner doesn't meddle, you know. I hope the 515 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,239 Speaker 1: guy can stay out of the draft from do all 516 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: that stuff and don't meddle in what what the player 517 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: and the players and the coaches and stay out of 518 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: the football stuff. Well, this is him doing that, and 519 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: he's taking some criticism for it because it's whatever because 520 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: the was no because he said no. Yeah, So I'm yeah, 521 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm kind of on the side of rare side of 522 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy hasl on this just Hey, work it out. 523 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: Dion Dawkins was on Good Morning Football this morning. If 524 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: you missed it, he talked about Miles Garrett. I feel 525 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 3: like anytime Dawkins has been on camera around a camera, 526 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 3: he's been talking about, Hey, we want Miles Garrett. 527 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 4: I want him with us. 528 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 3: So on Good Morning Football, he said, I want Miles 529 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 3: with us. I know the fear he brings to playing 530 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: against him. It would be a drastic game changer if 531 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 3: we had him on our team. The guys next to 532 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: him and the guys who practice against him will get better, 533 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: and then ended saying it's like going from a Benz 534 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 3: to a Bentley. So Buffalo's roster is doing their due 535 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 3: diligence by putting it out there to national media and 536 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: anybody who will listen that the players want Miles Garrett 537 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 3: on the team. 538 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that. Yeah, good player, good player. Better 539 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: players make you better. Great players make you great. You 540 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: become a great player in this league not just because 541 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: of your production, but because of who you are as 542 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: a person as well. I'm sure the Dion and Garrett 543 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: have probably interacted in the Pro Bowl and all those 544 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: the you know, off the field stuff and social settings. 545 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, everybody's always pulling for that. You know, Let's 546 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: get us a great player because the guy can really 547 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: go and it helps your team. Everybody's on board with that. 548 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: It's a wait and see right now because as of 549 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: this moment, Miles Garrett is not available. We'll see if 550 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: that changes over the next few weeks. We're going to 551 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 3: take a break and return answering some of your calls 552 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 3: here on One Bill's Live or presented by Clyde Health 553 00:29:46,280 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: on Buffalo Bills Radio. What's up, everybody, We're back on 554 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 3: One Bill's Live talking about all these defensive linemen who 555 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 3: have become available, requesting trades, being released, maybe not being 556 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 3: granted permission to seek a trade just yet. But there's 557 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 3: some names out there that we've been talking about, and 558 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 3: there's some names in the draft too. We'll get into 559 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: that later in the show. But we're going to go 560 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 3: to the phone lines here. Tom from the West Side 561 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: is joining us now, Tom, how are you doing? 562 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,479 Speaker 5: Hey, Ketto's good afternoon. Listen first of all, to answer 563 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 5: Steve's question and being a McDermot, I trust and it's 564 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 5: a trickle down theory. It's the one case where trickle 565 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 5: down theory actually works. Okay, now, players like Devontae Adams, 566 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 5: he don't want to come here, he wants to play 567 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 5: for a West Coast team, so he's off the board. 568 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 5: But for somebody like say a Trey Hendrickson or a 569 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 5: Miles Garrett, what would you you asked everybody to put 570 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 5: on their GM hat the other day, what would you 571 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 5: be willing to give up in order to acquire trade 572 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 5: hendricks or a Miles Garrett? Because you're going to have 573 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 5: to prime away from Cleveland, So what would you be 574 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 5: willing to offer? And could we afford it? 575 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: Well, you can probably fit him under the cap. Yeah, somehow, 576 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: some way. It'd be big. It be a big number, 577 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: no question. I don't know how long you'd want to 578 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: what do you call? I don't know how long you 579 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: want to commit to Miles? 580 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 5: But well I would say two years. It depends on 581 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 5: the age. Well, two years, and I would give them 582 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 5: two years Garrett. I might give them three. 583 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, what they might not sign a three year deal. 584 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: They might want more than that. That's that's the question 585 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: you're really going to have to answer. I don't know, 586 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, i'd give up I give up the thirty 587 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: picked this year, plus whatever whatever else. I'm not I 588 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know that i'd give up multiple firsts, although. 589 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 5: They want they want cash for him too. 590 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that may be true. I get it, But how. 591 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 5: Does that work? How does the cash part of it work? 592 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. I do not know. I think 593 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: you can just you would sacrifice a chunk of your 594 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: cap to give to another team for their cap. They 595 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: think it's that simple. But but for me, Miles Garrett trade, Yeah, 596 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna give number ones, now's the 597 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: time to do it. Give up first round draft picks. 598 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: Because last year it was twenty six or twenty eight, 599 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: this year's thirty. Next year hopefully he'll be thirty two. 600 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: That's give them number ones while you're picking in the 601 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: bottom of five six picks of the draft all these years. 602 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 5: Those well, it's like you guys said, these players want 603 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 5: to come to Buffalo Now. 604 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's gonna say no. Nobody's gonna say no if 605 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: the numbers are in line with it. But you're not 606 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: gonna get Miles Garrett to take twenty million from you 607 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: when he's asking thirty five million. When he's got thirty 608 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: five million from say the Baltimore Ravens or the Philadelphia Eagles. 609 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: You know, will he take less even less money to 610 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: play for those jokers than you? Maybe? So you got 611 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: to you gotta do what it takes. And I don't 612 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: know what that's gonna take. And I don't even know 613 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 1: if it's possible because Cleveland's digging in and so is Miles. 614 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 5: Well at full disclosure, I want what to my job, 615 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 5: and I requested a meeting with the owner, and I 616 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 5: got a meeting with the GM and I got fired. 617 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. That's not everybody's up for that, Okay. 618 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 5: I have a good rest of the joke. 619 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: Tom, Thanks you. Yeah, Trey Hendrickson and Miles Garrett are 620 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: absolutely on the menu. But you know it's market price. 621 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to talk about you gotta find out. 622 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 3: And so for Hendrickson, the pass rusher has one year 623 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: remaining on his current contract, which is scheduled to account 624 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 3: for eighteen point sixty six million in cap space in 625 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, including a fifteen point eight million dollar 626 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 3: base salary. He didn't have any guaranteed money left on 627 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 3: his deal with Cincinnati, so Cincinnati can save sixteen million 628 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 3: dollars in cap space by trading him this offseason. So 629 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 3: we'll see how that works. What they're looking for, whether 630 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 3: that's cash and how much how much a team is 631 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 3: going to pick up or if or if it's cash 632 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 3: plus give me draft picks. 633 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: Cash or players or whatever. Yeah, So that's. 634 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: And that hasn't that hasn't come out yet. We've heard 635 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: for dk Metcalf, the Seahawks want a first and a 636 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 3: third and Metcalf wants upwards of thirty million dollars a year. 637 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: It may be as simple as tap picking up the 638 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: eighteen point six Trey Hendrickson's on the cap four for 639 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: Cincinnati plus two point sixty six million d is dead 640 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: cap to them, give them back their dead cap. 641 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 6: Uh. 642 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's that simple. I don't know, because if they 643 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: trade him, he's off their books, but they still get 644 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: a two point six six million dollar cap hit for 645 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: dead cap. If you pay that dead cap, maybe it's 646 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: free and clear. You get him plus whatever it else 647 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: you have to get to. You got to pay him, 648 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: and you'll probably want to extend him. And I'm with 649 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: I'm with Tom from the East side or West side. 650 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: He's thirty one. Give him till he's thirty three. Give 651 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: him and do what Philadelphia did with Saquon. Give him 652 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: a big chunk for two years. Spread it out, Spread 653 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: it out. If you can make it work. 654 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 3: Let's go over to Gary, who joins us? Now, Gary, 655 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 3: what's up? 656 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 7: Hey guys, how y'all doing doing good? 657 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 4: How are you pretty good? 658 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: Pretty good? 659 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 7: H He was talking about Brandon Bean and a cooking Dermott. 660 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 6: Yes, I've been a Bill fan. 661 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 7: For thirty four years, so you know, I've seen some 662 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 7: lean years, like the rest of the in fans for 663 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 7: a long time, and I don't anybody it's been since 664 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 7: Polling and Levy. I've had as much trust in the 665 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 7: coach of the GM. If that figures out the answer. 666 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 7: I remember all the lean years, all the stupid mistate choices, 667 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 7: a draft kicks, all that EJ Manual, JP Lassman. I 668 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 7: knew those weren't going to work out when they drafted them, 669 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 7: and I didn't even want Josh all that. I trusted 670 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 7: them and I was wrong and they were right. How 671 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 7: can you go against them? Yeah, they've missed a few, 672 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 7: but everybody does. They're probably hit about three hundred. If 673 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 7: you're hit three hundred. Drafting, you're doing well. 674 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: Well, maybe maybe not as well as you'd like. Not 675 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: in baseball, that's true, but not in the draft. And 676 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: they've I think the thing about the that that gives 677 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: you hope for the Bills, the thing that sets them apart. Yeah, 678 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: everybody misses on high draft picks, and maybe you can 679 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 1: make the case that they miss on more high draft 680 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: picks than most people, although they're not. They haven't completely 681 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: missed on a bunch of them. But they they haven't 682 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: got any game wreckers picking twenty eight, thirty and all 683 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: that stuff. But they have hit on tremendous players in 684 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: the fourth, fifth, sixth rounds, seventh rounds, rookie free agent 685 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: that that's what really tilts. That's what really tilts it 686 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: in favor of McBean. I guess you can. 687 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 7: That's why I look at all the drafticcks. I don't 688 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 7: look at this the first round of you guys. I mean, 689 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 7: their their player development is through the roof. They're retaining 690 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 7: the right players when they need to, at least they 691 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 7: attempt to. The Oh, by the way, the consistent winning 692 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 7: that helps. So yeah, I'm good. I trust them. One 693 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 7: last year and they they released all those players. Look, 694 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 7: I didn't even flinch. I knew they had had a 695 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 7: plan and I trust them on well, thank god for 696 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 7: them because I remember seventeen years not making a playoffs. 697 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 3: Guys appreciate the call. 698 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: Gary, Thanks, that's good stuff. Yeah, And I think that's 699 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 1: where most Bills fans are, maybe not as they can't 700 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: go back as far and say I trusted when you 701 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: took Josh Allen or all that stuff. 702 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 4: And he even said I didn't. 703 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 3: I didn't like Josh. 704 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 4: Allen, but I trusted them. 705 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you get a guy Josh was number 706 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: seven overall, when you get a number seven guy who 707 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: you know is on a trajectory to go to the 708 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: Hall of be a first ballot guy that really smooths 709 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: over a lot of warts. And like I said, you know, 710 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: you can you can point at their draft. You know 711 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: they got Rousseau, Ed Oliver and Epinez on the front 712 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: line and they're they're good players, but they're not they're 713 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: not Miles Garrett good. But Miles Garrett was taken like 714 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: number one. Yeah, these guys were taking Philly's seven. 715 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 3: I know Ed Oliver was up there. But it's not 716 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 3: like every single season that the Bills are have an 717 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 3: opportunity to pick top ten. That just doesn't happen, and 718 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 3: you don't always have these draft classes that are. 719 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 4: Just deep in the position group. 720 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 3: That you need them to be deep in, that can 721 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 3: come off the board at thirty and be a starter 722 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 3: in their first or second season and be a big 723 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 3: difference maker. Yes, the coaching and the development is a 724 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 3: big part of that, but I think we've seen that 725 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 3: for a lot of players who have developed into something 726 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 3: special in Buffalo. I look at it James Cook, who 727 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 3: who had to wait for his turn at Georgia and 728 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 3: didn't have crazy numbers at Georgia, but had the potential, 729 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 3: and you fit them into a system here and in 730 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 3: just a few years he's having historical position or historical 731 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 3: season for a running back position in Buffalo. 732 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: Right. That's you know, that's you got to pick. And 733 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: they've done a fantastic job. I think of deciding who 734 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: they're going to extend and who they're going to make, 735 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, a part of And that's why that's part 736 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: of the reason I'm talking about I wish I knew 737 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: their planned. What do they feel about James Cook as 738 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: a running back? If James Cook had the year he 739 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: had as a pass rusher, we would be looking for 740 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: his extension the moment he was eligible for it, right, right, 741 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: But he's a running back. That makes a difference. How 742 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: big a difference that makes We're going to find out. 743 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: We're going to find out. 744 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to find out about what they think 745 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 3: about We've already found out about Terrell Bernard and Khalil Shaki. 746 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: Who's the next person that gets extended? It's coming soon, 747 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 3: because you've got you've got a week or so, not 748 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: even a week or so. You've got less than a 749 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 3: week before March twelfth. Then, and according to the number 750 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 3: that you said, eight and a half, the bills still 751 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 3: have some some. 752 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 4: Space to clear. 753 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 3: Whether that happens in an extension where you can move 754 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 3: some money around, or whether that happens in releasing. 755 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 4: Some of these players. 756 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 3: All right, let's go back to the film mines Michael 757 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 3: and Williamsville now joins us. 758 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 4: How are you doing Michael? 759 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 6: Good? 760 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 5: Guys, how are you doing good? Yeah? 761 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 6: My issue is, uh, first off, I'm gonna I'm gonna 762 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 6: speak about what Steve and you talked about with with 763 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 6: the U with the ownership. Miles Garrett not in the interview. 764 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 6: In my opinion, the reality is, if you want to 765 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 6: keep Miles Garrett UH with Cleveland, then you need to 766 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 6: be upfront with him, and I think that what he 767 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 6: wanted is to talk to the ownership about what direction 768 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 6: they're looking to go in. I'm not a Cleveland fan. 769 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 6: IM a Bills fan, and I'd love to see him 770 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 6: in Buffalo. But my biggest issue is I think that 771 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 6: Jimmy has whom is the worst owner in professional football 772 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 6: next to I can't think of his name, but the 773 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 6: guy from the guy from Carolina, who's the second worst? Yeah, 774 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,280 Speaker 6: David Tepper, Yeah Tepper. I'm sorry, but my issue there 775 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 6: is the ownership in the NFL is different than ownership 776 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 6: in certain businesses. 777 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 5: You know, you both know that. 778 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 6: And the fact that the Bunny is substantially large, then 779 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 6: I believe the ownership should step in and not worry 780 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 6: about what the GM says, because the owner is going 781 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 6: to the GM is going to ask the owner what 782 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 6: to do. So why not the why why not having 783 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 6: Jimmy Haslin take the meeting with Miles Garrett and let 784 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 6: him know where uh the direction of the team is 785 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 6: if they want to keep them. That's my that's my opinion. 786 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get yep, I get it. I'll say this 787 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: to You're right, football and pro pro sports is a 788 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: different is a different industry than say, uh oh, I 789 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: don't know. You pick your industry like a sales job 790 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: or a lawyer, doctor or whatever, because the guys, right, okay, yeah, 791 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 1: like me auto sales. 792 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I ran businesses. Excuse me, I ran businesses. 793 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Here's the thing, most business says. Most businesses 794 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: don't have employees who are absolutely positively one hundred percent 795 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,280 Speaker 1: going to get physically injured doing their job, without question, 796 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: without exception. That changes the equation in a lot of 797 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: respects from doctor, lawyer, and ownership of another business other businesses. 798 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: There is some risk, like in construction that once in 799 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: a while you'll get a guy that hasn't on the 800 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: job accident. Of course that happens. But in football, absolutely 801 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: positively one hundred percent of the guys that you hire 802 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: to play professional football are going to get injured physically hurt. 803 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: Some of them bad, some of them like Damar Hamlin, 804 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: some of them like Darryl Stingley, some of them like 805 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Everett. That risk is out there and it is 806 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: it's it's going to be that or something not as 807 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: bad as that, or you know, there's been one death 808 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 1: in the National Football League's history and that was back 809 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: in the sixties. So the risk is there that that 810 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: changes the equation for the guys who actually strap on 811 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: a helmet. If you're not gonna take that meeting, you can. 812 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: I get the idea. I get Listen, there's protocols and 813 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: you got to go to see the GM. I understand 814 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: all that, and the players understand it too. But let 815 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: me tell you something that changes something. That changes something. 816 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: Because that guy, Miles Garrett for six years or so, 817 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: howeverywhere long it was six years or so, has played 818 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: for nobody but the Cleveland Browns, and he has done 819 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: a lot and risked a lot physically. You paid him well, absolutely, 820 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: but for a lot of guys, that physical part of 821 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: it changes the equation. If you're not gonna sit down, 822 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: if you refuse to sit down and talk with him, 823 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: you better have a really good reason because that guys 824 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: will take that personally. 825 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 3: And maybe the details, more details will come out about 826 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 3: this meeting that Haslam said no to, and what the 827 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 3: meeting was supposed to be about. What was it going 828 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 3: to be about the trade request or was it going 829 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 3: to be about Hey, tell me your plan for this team, 830 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 3: because I want to try and make sense of what's 831 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 3: gonna happen in the next several seasons at the quarterback 832 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 3: position and other positions. We got to take a break, 833 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 3: but when we return, there's another pass rusher who just 834 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 3: got released. It's a pretty big name. We'll tell you 835 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 3: about it. And coming up at two o'clock, Tyler Brooke 836 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 3: from the thirty third team joins us on One Bills Live. 837 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 3: We're presented by Clytehealth on Buffalo Bills Radio. 838 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 4: All right, we're back here on One Bill's Live. 839 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 3: I told you another pass rusher is becoming available, according 840 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 3: to reports. The reports are saying Titans are releasing pass 841 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 3: rushing pass rusher Harold Landry today. Landry has had some 842 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 3: productive seasons in Tennessee. He's played six years in the league, 843 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 3: all with the Titans, and in the last three seasons 844 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 3: has had at least nine sacks twelve and twenty twenty one, 845 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 3: ten and a half in twenty twenty three and nine 846 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. He did not play in twenty 847 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 3: twenty two due to a torn acl tasker. 848 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's mad over this week. Yeah, he's a just 849 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: sack guy. He's he's twenty eight, so he's a little 850 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: younger than the guys we've been talking about. He's played 851 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: all seventeen games this last season, had nine sacks in 852 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:37,760 Speaker 1: seventeen games. He's a good player. He's a really good player. 853 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: He's uh six two to two hundred and fifty pound guy, 854 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: so he's a little he's on the undersized thing. He's 855 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of like an outside well outside linebacker 856 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,439 Speaker 1: like Von millerkicker. But he has been productive and he's 857 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: going to be available as well. He's been to one 858 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in his career. So there you have it. 859 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 3: Boston college guy, our coaching Ztavilove's Boston. 860 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,959 Speaker 1: That's true. He has probably played. He was there when 861 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: he was with Tennessee. Of course, when Mike Vrabel was 862 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: the head coach there too, so there might be some 863 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: interest from Vrabel to bring him into New England. Good 864 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: points I even more and more. You forget that it's 865 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 1: not we tend to think Buffalo lives in a vacuum. Here. 866 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna lose these players. How are we going to 867 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: do this? And you forget all these other teams, some 868 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 1: of them are in dire straits, are in much worse 869 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: position than the Bills are, and there all these players 870 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: are going to be flooding the market. So there's gonna 871 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: be a chance for Buffalo to refurbish its roster in 872 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: short order in free agency. It's gonna be really interesting 873 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 1: to see which guys they really really like. Harold Landry, though, 874 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: is a guy that's played at a high level, a 875 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: high level. His best year was a ten or a 876 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 1: twelve sacked season in twenty twenty one, then he blew 877 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: as acl then the year after, coming back in twenty 878 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: twenty three at ten and a half and nine last year, 879 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 1: so he's he's been productive. Whether he fits in or 880 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: how he fits in, what his skill set is, I 881 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 1: don't watch film on him. I don't know. But the 882 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: Bills will have a file on him and they'll have 883 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: an opinion, but once again, we don't know what that 884 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: opinion is. 885 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 3: And get this, he was teammates with Matt Milano. Really, 886 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 3: Harold Landry was drafted in twenty eighteen. Matt Milano was 887 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,759 Speaker 3: drafted in twenty seventeen, so they overlapped for several seasons, 888 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,760 Speaker 3: two seasons anyway. 889 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting, that's interesting. Yeah, lots happened since then, 890 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 1: but that'll be interest. It's just one more name that 891 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: goes into the stew And the problem now is he 892 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: wore number fifty eight for He wore number fifty eight 893 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,320 Speaker 1: for Tennessee, and we've got a fifty eight here in Buffalo. 894 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 1: So we'll see if me and Milano can come to 895 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: an agreement. If they do end up being teammates again, oh. 896 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 3: My gosh, that would be awesome. I'm trying to count 897 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 3: how many seasons they overlapped for. I think it's one, two, three. 898 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 3: They overlapped for three seasons at Boston College outside linebacker 899 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 3: Harold landrym Matt Milano linebacker as well. So these two 900 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 3: have had to have an important connection, a meaningful connection. 901 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 3: So we'll see if Matt Milano chimes it's a conversation 902 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 3: on Twitter and said something about his. 903 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: Former team for the Boston College. 904 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, that's true. 905 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna take a break because coming up next, 906 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 3: we've got Tyler Brooke of the thirty third team joining us. 907 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 3: He just did a seven round mock draft on the 908 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 3: Bills we're gonna talk about some of the top picks 909 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 3: that he thinks would be a good fit in Buffalo 910 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 3: for the twenty twenty five season. Don't Go Anywhere on 911 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 3: One Bills Live were presented by Collide Health on Buffalo 912 00:49:53,520 --> 00:50:11,760 Speaker 3: Bills Radio. 913 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,439 Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by called Lda Health. 914 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 3: What's up, everybody? Welcome into our number two of a 915 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 3: Friday edition of One Bill's Live. The sun is out today, 916 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 3: it's still freezing cold, but hopefully those tempts move on 917 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 3: up soon enough so Steve Tasker can get back on 918 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,399 Speaker 3: the golf course. We were talking about it early before 919 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 3: we went on the show. I said, when are you 920 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 3: gonna start golfing? He said, Maddy, that doesn't usually happen 921 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 3: until the middle of April. 922 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 4: That's soon enough. 923 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 3: Steve Tasker and Maddi glab here giving you guys all 924 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 3: the news because there's certainly a bunch today. And speaking 925 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,839 Speaker 3: of news, we'd like to welcome Tyler Brooke into the conversation. 926 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 4: He's an NFL analyst. 927 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 3: For the thirty third team and Tyler were just days 928 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 3: away from the new league year beginning at four o'clock 929 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 3: on March twelfth, and we're seeing what teams are doing 930 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 3: to become cap compliant. A lot of defensive linemen, a 931 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 3: lot of pass rushers seem like they might be available 932 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 3: for Buffalo. I if that's what you would deem as 933 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 3: a position that Buffalo should go after. But as you 934 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 3: are watching some of these things unfold and seeing these 935 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 3: names that are hitting our timelines, is there anybody that 936 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 3: you think Buffalo should go after that is now available, 937 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,760 Speaker 3: that can get traded or has been released. 938 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 8: I mean, it's a really good question. I think the 939 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,360 Speaker 8: big reason why so many of these names are getting 940 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 8: released is because of how deep the edge class is 941 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 8: and the defensive line class in this twenty twenty five draft. Obviously, 942 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 8: the salary cap is going up, so you know, you 943 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 8: have a little more resources to work with, but all 944 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 8: these teams want to get younger in the trenches. That 945 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 8: being said, I think it actually is a great time 946 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 8: for the Buffalo Bills to be in the market for 947 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 8: maybe an interior disruptor or a pass rusher. You know, 948 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 8: von Miller won't play forever. You know, you just need 949 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 8: some more depth up there. If we saw with the 950 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,919 Speaker 8: Philadelphia Eagles, it's just important to always have as many 951 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,800 Speaker 8: pass rushers and interior defenders as you can. Trey Hendrickson 952 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 8: is a name. I think it makes a lot of sense. 953 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 8: He is looking for a new deal. Imagine that's a 954 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 8: big reason why he wants to be traded. But obviously 955 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,800 Speaker 8: the little league in sacks last year. He's a bigger 956 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 8: guy at two hundred and seventy pounds. 957 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 9: I think he is an extremely disruptive guy. 958 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 8: And then just a new recent name that was just 959 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 8: released by the Tennessee Titans. And Harold Landry is another 960 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 8: guy to keep an eye out. You know, not as 961 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 8: much production since his ACL jury in twenty twenty two, 962 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 8: but definitely a guy to keep an eye out for. 963 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: At thirty one years old, Trey Henderson's cap hits like 964 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 1: eighteen points something. Since what do you think is the 965 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: going right for a guy who's there? They said, Okay, 966 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: go get a trade. You got one year left. You'll 967 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 1: save US sixteen million on the cap if we trade you. 968 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: What's the I mean, what are we looking at is 969 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: compensation for the Bengals in return for Trey Hendrickson, a 970 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 1: guy who is massively important to their defense even though 971 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 1: their defense struggled. 972 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm really glad you asked that question. 973 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 8: I actually just wrote an article about the kind of 974 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 8: trade compensation teams might expect for the Bengals might expect. Obviously, 975 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,280 Speaker 8: you know the fact that they're letting him have permission 976 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,320 Speaker 8: to seek a trade kind of hurts your leverage a 977 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,959 Speaker 8: little bit. But it's also that expiring contract, like you mentioned, 978 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 8: it's significant cap savings for this year. 979 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 9: You do not have to re sign him. 980 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 8: He is getting a bit older, so teams can really 981 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 8: hang that over the Bengals head. So for a team 982 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 8: that once get in that market, like hey, let's take 983 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 8: a swing on the guy that we know will be 984 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 8: at least productive for a couple more years. We know 985 00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 8: we got to extend him, we can use that to 986 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 8: advantage I'm thinking probably a third round pick, maybe a fourth. Obviously, 987 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 8: that's just overall value. You know, you can get a 988 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 8: little more finicky with it if you want to exchange 989 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 8: multiple draft picks, maybe have no player. But if we're 990 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 8: just going a straight pick for a player, I have 991 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 8: about a third round value there. 992 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 3: We're talking about the defensive line, and you said that 993 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 3: this is going to be a deep class for defensive 994 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 3: linemen in the draft, and this is why we're seeing 995 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 3: a lot of teams decide to release some defensive linemen 996 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,320 Speaker 3: that we're due some big time salaries in the twenty 997 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 3: twenty five season. When you look at Buffalo and what 998 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,760 Speaker 3: they're missing and how close they are every single season, 999 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,439 Speaker 3: how do you weigh going after a veteran who could 1000 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 3: maybe produced right now versus a defensive lineman who could 1001 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 3: be available at number thirty for Buffalo. 1002 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,919 Speaker 8: I'm so glad you asked that question, because I really 1003 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,360 Speaker 8: think that thirty spot is kind of the sweet spot 1004 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,920 Speaker 8: for a lot of value in the draft. Right there 1005 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 8: are guys like I'm thinking Kenneth Grant, a defensive tackle 1006 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 8: out of Michigan, or Tyler Williams, another d tackle at 1007 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 8: Ohio State. And then there's some of these, you know, 1008 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,760 Speaker 8: fringe second tier of edge rushers like Donovan Azeraku, Princely 1009 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 8: Uman Miellen. I if I'm in that situation, I think 1010 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,719 Speaker 8: I'm taking the swing in free agency more on a 1011 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 8: corner at the top of this corner class in free agency, 1012 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 8: going after an edge in the draft or a defensive 1013 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 8: lineman trying to stack up in the trenches, and just 1014 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 8: really hoping I can find that swing in free agency 1015 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 8: in the secondary. 1016 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,919 Speaker 1: All right, so you brought it up, give us a name, 1017 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,839 Speaker 1: give us a corner. There's gonna be some dudes out there. 1018 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 1: There always is, and certainly there might be even names 1019 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: in the next few days that we didn't expect to 1020 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:40,760 Speaker 1: be on the market. 1021 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1022 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 8: A name I love that I've done a lot of 1023 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 8: homework on lately is Pulsen and Debo out of the 1024 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,520 Speaker 8: New Orleans Saints. Broke his leg in the middle of 1025 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 8: the year, so you know, there were some questions about 1026 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 8: his health. He's all over social media right now doing 1027 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 8: backflips and posting stuff on the treadmill, going twenty one 1028 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,799 Speaker 8: miles an hour, So clearly this leg is fine. But 1029 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,319 Speaker 8: if if you look at his production over the last 1030 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 8: few seasons, you know, interceptions, tons of pass breakups. He's 1031 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,439 Speaker 8: sticky in man coverage. I really like his skill set. 1032 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 8: So if you're not going after a corner, which I 1033 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 8: imagine we'll talk about in a little bit in the draft, 1034 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 8: and you want to go after free agency, he's at 1035 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 8: the top of my board. Honestly, I am a huge 1036 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 8: fan of a Debo. I think he's really being slept 1037 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,240 Speaker 8: on in this freation class. 1038 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 3: All right, A name to keep an eye on somebody 1039 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 3: that I'm going to go look into. 1040 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 4: Right after we do this interview, I wrote that down, 1041 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 4: Write it down. Yeah, got to remember this for later. 1042 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 3: Well, you had a mock draft that came out, a 1043 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 3: seven round mock for Buffalo. 1044 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 4: I want to go through that round one thirtieth. 1045 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 3: Overall, you have the Bills taking a cornerback, Chavon Revel 1046 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 3: out of East Carolina. Why does that player fit in 1047 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 3: Buffalo's scheme? 1048 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, so I'll give you the caveat that. 1049 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 8: This is all pre combined stuff right with that seven 1050 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 8: round mock draft. But as soon as I wrote this, this 1051 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,320 Speaker 8: is right after the Bills are elimited. What's fresh in 1052 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 8: mind is right, you know, injuries in the secondary and 1053 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 8: how exposed the secondary was because of that lack of 1054 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 8: depth there. I think it's important that when you're playing 1055 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 8: Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs every year that you load 1056 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 8: up on that secondary. So so Vone Revel is a 1057 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 8: guy I really like. Tore his ACL earlier in the year. 1058 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 8: But when you watch his tape from beginning of this 1059 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 8: year and in twenty twenty three, man, you're getting a 1060 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 8: six two sixty three corner with a length super sticky 1061 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 8: in coverage, and I'm always very partial to the cornerbacks 1062 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 8: that aren't afraid to get a little like, you know, 1063 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 8: their nose dirty, right, very competitive, very physical, not afraid 1064 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 8: to help and run support. It's a guy I think 1065 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,479 Speaker 8: brings a lot of length, ball skills, explosiveness, and again 1066 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 8: that tenacity that I just love that makes me think 1067 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 8: he's still a first round pick even with the ACL injury. 1068 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 8: I had not gotten any info from how he did 1069 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 8: it medical evaluations at the combine, but I imagine with an 1070 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 8: ACL he should be ready to go. 1071 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 9: By the beginning of the year. 1072 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and ACL is not the career ender it was 1073 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: decades ago. I mean, those guys so a little bit 1074 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: more of a hiccup as well. But listen, other guys, 1075 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: you've got the bills taken, like fifty six, because the 1076 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 1: first three picks I think are crucial. Obviously the thirtieth pick, 1077 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 1: but fifty six and sixty two very close. Fifty six, 1078 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm taking Xavier Watts, who's a safety out of Notre Dame, 1079 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: who's a really who's been highly touted. 1080 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, thirteen interceptions in two seasons is pretty incredible, right, 1081 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 8: Like ball skills everywhere. He's super explosive, instinctive. I love 1082 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 8: the way he can sometimes bait quarterbacks and make it 1083 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,000 Speaker 8: the wrong decision. And in an NFL league right now, 1084 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 8: where there's not a lot of single high safeties, I 1085 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 8: think he can fill that role. I know I've covered 1086 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 8: the Packers for a lot, and I always think of 1087 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 8: Xavier McKinney and that single high role being able to, 1088 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 8: you know, clean up and come away with all these turnovers. 1089 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 8: That's the kind of guy you're looking at Watts, and 1090 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 8: then you look at how he's developed over the past season. 1091 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 8: His run support is drastically improved. He is super aggressive. 1092 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 8: He has that length trip up guys, but he's not 1093 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 8: going for the trip ups. He's trying to knock your 1094 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 8: head off. And I really appreciate that from a safety. 1095 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 8: That really is that ballhawking kind of free safety. 1096 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 6: Guy. 1097 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 3: Tyler brook of the thirty third team is on with 1098 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 3: us right now and then later in the second round. 1099 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 4: Going through your latest mock draft that. 1100 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 3: You had come out in February before the NFL scouting Combine, 1101 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 3: you have the Bills selecting a defensive line Omar Norman 1102 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:07,240 Speaker 3: lot to tennessee why is he a talented defensive lineman 1103 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:08,120 Speaker 3: in this year's group. 1104 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, like obviously, you know there's probably twenty five to 1105 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 8: thirty defensive linemen in this class, and of all the 1106 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 8: guys I watched, I'm honestly a fan of all of them. 1107 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,040 Speaker 9: That's how good this class is. 1108 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 8: But when I turn on the tape on Ormond lot 1109 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,959 Speaker 8: Omar Norman Lot very stout against the run. 1110 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 9: He does a great job of getting. 1111 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 8: Extended and disengaging, which is super valuable in run defense defense. 1112 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 8: He also brings quite a bit of juice as a 1113 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 8: pass rusher. You know, he's got a couple moves in 1114 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 8: his bag for an interior defender. His motor is off 1115 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 8: the charts. I really like his upper body strength, and 1116 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 8: I honestly think if they got him that late in. 1117 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 9: Round two, I think that's an absolute steal. I'm a 1118 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 9: huge fan of the skin all. 1119 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 1: Let's get I didn't want to go down through all 1120 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: seven picks, but because because we don't even know because 1121 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 1: compensatory picks haven't been decided on, so we don't know 1122 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 1: exactly where the bills are picking. After this, I want 1123 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,680 Speaker 1: to ask you about this, Miles Garrett thing. Certainly, the 1124 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: ownership turning down the meeting with him is the big 1125 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 1: story of the day, and it looks like both sides, 1126 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 1: both Miles and the Browns, are digging in. The Browns 1127 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: do not want to let this generational guy out the door. 1128 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 1: He wants out the door and is willing to sit 1129 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: out apparently to make it happen. What's it gonna take 1130 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 1: for the Browns to let him go? What's the compensation 1131 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 1: in that draft pick, and what's it gonna take to 1132 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 1: get him back in the door if the Browns do 1133 01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 1: want to keep. 1134 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 8: Him man, That second part of that question is a 1135 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 8: lot harder to answer. I think what I've appreciated about him, 1136 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 8: especially when guys request trades, I think he has been 1137 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 8: extremely transparent about what he wants, what he's looking for, 1138 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 8: and it is straight up to I want to compete 1139 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 8: for a Super Bowl, which is why the Bills make 1140 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 8: a lot of sense for as a target. But someone's 1141 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,360 Speaker 8: gonna need to offer up a heck of a lot. 1142 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 9: This is gonna. 1143 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 8: Probably go into training camp, I imagine. I don't think 1144 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 8: it's gonna be a good situation. It's clearly not about 1145 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 8: the money for Miles, But at the same time, the 1146 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 8: Browns need to get something to return to, you know, 1147 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 8: give up what is likely a first ballot Hall of 1148 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 8: Famer who's still in the prime of his career. I mean, 1149 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 8: this is a sensational pass rusher we're talking about, So 1150 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 8: for someone to take him, I'm imagining it's at least 1151 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 8: a first round pick. And I'm usually one of those 1152 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 8: guys that likes to shy away from, you know, giving 1153 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 8: away such premium draft capital. But this is Miles Garrett 1154 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 8: we're talking about. This is one of the best football 1155 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 8: players at any position in the NFL and a guy 1156 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 8: that can really upgrade and bolster a defense. So I'm 1157 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 8: imagining premium assets. As far as what it's going to 1158 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 8: take to keep them in the building, I would just 1159 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 8: imagine that it requires some significant swings by the Browns 1160 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 8: to show that they want to be a contender. But 1161 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 8: with how the resources are tied up right now, like, 1162 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 8: I just don't see a path forward for that happening. 1163 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Browns are still dealing with that Deshaun Watson 1164 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 3: contract that happened years ago, but everybody still talks about 1165 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 3: it because Watson is still do quite a bit of 1166 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 3: money there. You spoke about a first round pick, maybe 1167 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 3: being the compensation for Miles Garrett. Speaking of first round picks, 1168 01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 3: we heard what Seattle is seeking in trade for Miles 1169 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,920 Speaker 3: Garrett a first and a third. Sorry, DK Metcalf, a 1170 01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 3: first and a third. And DK also wants big time money. 1171 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 3: Do you see something like that happening. That's that's a 1172 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 3: big ask. But I guess Settle, Seattle's owner came out 1173 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,439 Speaker 3: and said, hey, we're talking to several teams right now. 1174 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 8: I think this might drag out a little bit longer 1175 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 8: because from what I would guess is that Seattle's not 1176 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,680 Speaker 8: hearing the compensations that they want to hear. As far 1177 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 8: as the DK return. You know, you can make an argument. 1178 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 8: Let's say I'm trying to trade for DK Metcalf and 1179 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 8: I want to try and undersell his value, like, yeah, 1180 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 8: he's a little bit of distraction, right, he can get 1181 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 8: some unsportsman like penalties, things like that, he has a 1182 01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 8: new contract coming up. There are factors where I don't 1183 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 8: think they're getting first round compensation. I don't think anyone's 1184 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,840 Speaker 8: probably even asked for that. More realistically, I'm imagining that 1185 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 8: it's a third round pick plus a little something. I'm 1186 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,840 Speaker 8: not saying that's a first. I'm not saying that's even 1187 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 8: a second. Maybe it's another Day three pick, maybe it's 1188 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 8: even another player. There have been reports about the Green 1189 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,120 Speaker 8: Bay Packers potentially interested in a DK trade and instead 1190 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 8: of giving up you know, premium draft capital, it might 1191 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 8: be a Day two pick plus one of their young 1192 01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,840 Speaker 8: receivers who's on a rookie deal. It's a very interesting 1193 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 8: situation because you know, he's a very rare type of receiver, right. 1194 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 8: He is a big body dude that can take the 1195 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 8: top over a defense and also just you have body 1196 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 8: control contested catches. There's just not many receivers built like 1197 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 8: DK metcalf, which is why I can understand why seattle't 1198 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 8: want so much in draft compensation. But at the same time, 1199 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 8: like I just don't think they're going to get their 1200 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,120 Speaker 8: return they're hoping for, right. 1201 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's had sixty six catches the last two years, 1202 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: both the exact same number of catches, but he has 1203 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: had a thousand yards. He averages over a thousand yards 1204 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,720 Speaker 1: per season, and you're right, he does bring something to 1205 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 1: the table that not many teams, that a lot of 1206 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 1: teams really want if they don't have it, a big physical, 1207 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 1: number one type receiver who can really really run. There 1208 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: is a market for him, right and yes, and so 1209 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:05,400 Speaker 1: depending if the price comes down, isn't it true that 1210 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 1: even more teams will start to pick up the phone 1211 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: and say, well, if that's the case, then instead of 1212 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 1: being a handful of teams, it's gonna be two handfuls 1213 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: of teams. 1214 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, I mean, because you got to think about it. 1215 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 8: Teams that are going after him want him because of 1216 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 8: his unique play style, right, and there's just simply no 1217 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 8: one like his play style in the draft. There's maybe 1218 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 8: a Day three option like Dante Thornton Junior and a 1219 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 8: Tennessee He was a high weight, speed guy, but obviously 1220 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:29,040 Speaker 8: completely unproven. 1221 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 9: He did not. 1222 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 8: Play a lot for the Volunteers last season. And then 1223 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 8: outside of him, there's some big body guys. They do 1224 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 8: not bring the juice. 1225 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 9: That DK Metcalf brings. 1226 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,680 Speaker 8: So if that asking price goes down, if you're one 1227 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 8: of the thirty one other teams that doesn't have a 1228 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 8: DK Metcalf, you have to be awfully attended to at 1229 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 8: least pick up the phone. 1230 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, definitely, you said you're an indie guy. The 1231 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 3: scouting combine happens in Indie. Now that we're about a 1232 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:55,000 Speaker 3: week removed from the NFL scouting Combine, what were some 1233 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 3: of your biggest takeaways from the combine. 1234 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 8: I mean, one kid that I was just blown away 1235 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 8: with at the podium was Jade Baron, the cornerback out 1236 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,680 Speaker 8: of Texas, which could theoretically be a Bill's target at thirty. 1237 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,440 Speaker 8: I mean, this kid was incredibly instinctive for the Longhorns. 1238 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 8: He's played corner slot safety over his extensive career at Texas, 1239 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 8: but just his podium, you can just tell that this 1240 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 8: kid lives, eats, breathes football, just incredibly high. IQ blown 1241 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 8: away by that more than the athletic testing, And sometimes 1242 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,840 Speaker 8: for us looking on the outside trying to look in, 1243 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 8: it's kind of hard to get that feel for prospects, 1244 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 8: but that podium alone just blew me away. I think 1245 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 8: he'd actually be a pretty nice target for the Bills. 1246 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 8: But the guy that everyone wanted to talk about was 1247 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 8: Shamar Stewart, a guy that was a two hundred and 1248 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 8: ninety pounds edge rusher out of Texas A and M. 1249 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 8: And the whole argument is, well, he doesn't have a 1250 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,560 Speaker 8: lot of production for the Aggies. Right four and a 1251 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 8: half sacks over three seasons. He had one of the 1252 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 8: most historic combines for any edge rusher ever. He dropped, 1253 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 8: you know, over twenty pounds. He went from two ninety 1254 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,120 Speaker 8: to two sixty seven and then posts something like a 1255 01:05:58,160 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 8: forty one inch vertical. 1256 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,120 Speaker 9: Just insane testing all over the words. 1257 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 8: I don't have the numbers right with me, but I 1258 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 8: mean after blowing away at the Senior Bowl and then 1259 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 8: just testing as well as he did, and extremely charismatic 1260 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,000 Speaker 8: guy on the podium, I had seen him as a 1261 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 8: potential pick in the twenties. I think he's pushing top fifteen, 1262 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 8: maybe even top ten, because there's just not a lot 1263 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 8: of guys outside of Miles Garrett that have tested athletically 1264 01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 8: as well as Stewart did. 1265 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 1: At his side. What is the word on why he 1266 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: was so unproductive? I mean I watched some high you 1267 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 1: know his film. 1268 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,439 Speaker 4: He ran four or five nine. 1269 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's looked it up. He's an You're right, he's unbelievable. 1270 01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean they don't. Sometimes you get the idea that 1271 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,080 Speaker 1: they'd be almost better off not trying to block him. 1272 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't seem to be that instinctive. Sometimes he runs 1273 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 1: up the feeling he's not where the ball is. You 1274 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,520 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, just what is the idea? What 1275 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 1: is the word about how NFL teams view his lack 1276 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: of production with all those measurables. 1277 01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 8: So you know, I don't I haven't talked to a 1278 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 8: lot of coaches about Mike Elko's scheme. It is very creative, 1279 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 8: it is very different, and they like to be very multiple. Right, So, 1280 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,280 Speaker 8: because Nick Gorton also transferred from Perdue and was the 1281 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 8: other edg rusher at Texas A M, both of these 1282 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 8: guys were really bulked up and cut significant weight to 1283 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 8: the combine. It almost seemed like they wanted them intentionally 1284 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,840 Speaker 8: big to kind of mush rush contain pockets against dual 1285 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 8: threat quarterbacks to prevent them from escaping, and then helping 1286 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 8: against the run. That seem to be more of the 1287 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 8: priority was pressures and run stopping over actual sax and production. 1288 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 8: Maybe that's an Elko philosophy. It did seem like it 1289 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 8: when I was watching on tape, because you know, I 1290 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 8: watched Nick Scurton at Perdue and that kid, I think 1291 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,880 Speaker 8: double digit sacks for the boiler Makers comes not nearly 1292 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 8: as productive at Texas A and M from a sax standpoint. 1293 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 8: I just imagine that's a defensive scheme standpoint. And I 1294 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 8: did want to point, you know, touch on your note 1295 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 8: about him flying upfield a lot. I totally agree with you. 1296 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 8: It's something I see early in games. But what I 1297 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 8: think is my favorite trade about Shamar Stewart. If you 1298 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 8: watch a game front to back, he learns and he adjusts. 1299 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 8: As he makes mistakes or things aren't going his way, 1300 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 8: he changes his plan of attack, and that is a 1301 01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 8: huge testament to his mental toughness, in my opinion, another 1302 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 8: reason why I'm personally so high on. 1303 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 3: All Right, Tyler, thank you so much for the time 1304 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 3: giving us a little bit of insight to some of 1305 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,439 Speaker 3: these guys that were at the scouting combine, as well 1306 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 3: as some insight into maybe some players who Buffalo could 1307 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,280 Speaker 3: be interested in with a couple of their first picks, 1308 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 3: one in the first round, two in the second round. 1309 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:17,920 Speaker 4: Appreciate you. 1310 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 9: Thanks, Tyler, of course, thanks so much for having me. 1311 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 4: All right. 1312 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,840 Speaker 3: That was Tyler Brooke of the thirty third team and 1313 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 3: NFL analyst. Shamar Stewart is an interesting prospect. We haven't 1314 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 3: gotten to talk about him, at least you and I 1315 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 3: since i've been helping co hosts this week. But he's 1316 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 3: somebody that I've been tracking all these mock drafts and 1317 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,839 Speaker 3: you hear a guy has four and a half sacks 1318 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,720 Speaker 3: in his college career. And then I see him like 1319 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 3: top fifteen, top ten, I'm. 1320 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,719 Speaker 4: Like, what, how is this possible? 1321 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 3: But he said he had a good Senior Bowl performance 1322 01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,280 Speaker 3: and tested like crazy, but. 1323 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 1: His measurables and really crazy. And you look at me. 1324 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 1: You get the guy gets off the bus and it's like, wow, 1325 01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 1: look at that guy, right, I mean I see you. Yeah, 1326 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,400 Speaker 1: And he can run faster than everybody. He's bigger than everybody, 1327 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:09,200 Speaker 1: he jumps higher than everybody. He's got a big personality. 1328 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 1: I guess I don't I didn't know that about him, 1329 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 1: but he's he's seductive in what you can see on paper. 1330 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 1: On the field, he like I said earlier, he just 1331 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 1: he was running around out there. He never made any plays, 1332 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: but he was always running around and you know, he 1333 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,720 Speaker 1: was always you know, disrupting things a little bit. Yeah, 1334 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,719 Speaker 1: that was probably the biggest. Yeah, he never made the play. 1335 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: He might have chased the guy off or whatever. He 1336 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: might have blown up an offensive tackle or got you know, 1337 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 1: shot the gap, but he you know, he didn't have 1338 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,160 Speaker 1: any tackles. You had four sacks and three you know 1339 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 1: you can you can fall over into four sacks, you know. 1340 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,719 Speaker 1: I mean somebody will chase the guy into your arms 1341 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 1: four times over three years. It's really weird to think 1342 01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,320 Speaker 1: about a guy who is as gifted as he seems 1343 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 1: to be not able to think his way to the 1344 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 1: quarterback once in a while. 1345 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the measurables are six five, two hundred 1346 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 3: and sixty seven pounds and you run a four five nine. 1347 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,240 Speaker 1: That is, there's no offensive lineman in college football that 1348 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:18,400 Speaker 1: can keep up with you, no way. And he still 1349 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 1: couldn't get to the quarterback and get the guy on 1350 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:20,679 Speaker 1: the ground. 1351 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 3: And you've got teams thinking in the NFL with those traits, 1352 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,599 Speaker 3: I can turn you into something. Oh yeah, our scheme 1353 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,080 Speaker 3: will work for you. I think it was an interesting 1354 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 3: point by by Tired to point out that, hey, maybe 1355 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 3: it was a scheme thing. 1356 01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:38,040 Speaker 4: With Texas A and M. 1357 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 3: Because Nick Gordon also was put on some weight when 1358 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,600 Speaker 3: he transferred from Purdue to Texas A and M. And 1359 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 3: maybe that's just what their defensive line coach and their 1360 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 3: defensive coordinator wanted out of their edge rushers. 1361 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,120 Speaker 1: I think that's something to that. I'll listen to that analogy, 1362 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,640 Speaker 1: and that's that's about the only explanation there would be 1363 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,320 Speaker 1: is you know, he's playing in a scheme that asked 1364 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: him to do things that weren't and what Tyler said 1365 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,639 Speaker 1: about him, and when you watch his film from front. 1366 01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:10,600 Speaker 4: To back, he adjusts. 1367 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: He you can see his wheels churning during the game 1368 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 1: and making adjustments to what they're doing against him. So 1369 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,479 Speaker 1: that's all good stuff. And who knows that, you know, 1370 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,639 Speaker 1: he may end up being you know, Miles Garrett, right, 1371 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 1: but he's got along. He's got some some things to prove, 1372 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,640 Speaker 1: no question about it. And there's got to be some 1373 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,320 Speaker 1: kernel of something that was going on either at Texas 1374 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 1: A and M or with him that is keeping kept 1375 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,000 Speaker 1: him from being as productive as you would like to 1376 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:42,680 Speaker 1: see see him. 1377 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 3: B Yeah, some of his strengths. If you go to 1378 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,440 Speaker 3: NFL dot com. I love doing this with these prospects. 1379 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,160 Speaker 3: If you just look them up, it'll go to their 1380 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 3: Combine scouting profile and you can see their measurables. You 1381 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 3: can see how they test it at the combine if 1382 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 3: they decided to test, and then you have these NFL 1383 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 3: analysts who do an overview, who say their strengths and 1384 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 3: their weaknesses. Some of the strengths for Shamar Stewart is 1385 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 3: carved from granted with a rare combo of size, length, 1386 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,479 Speaker 3: and explosiveness, first step burst and good ben to create 1387 01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 3: danger in the gaps. But then some of the weaknesses 1388 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,879 Speaker 3: are puzzling. Lack of career production relative to his traits 1389 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 3: allows blockers into his frame, diminishing his length. So we'll 1390 01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 3: see what happens. I don't think he's not going to 1391 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 3: be available. 1392 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:31,600 Speaker 4: At thirty for Buffalo. 1393 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 3: It seems like he's flown up the draft boards since 1394 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,400 Speaker 3: he's tested at the Combine and I've seen into the 1395 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 3: teens and around ten being mocked to different teams. 1396 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,759 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see where he finally does fall 1397 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 1: and what kind of professional player he's going to be. 1398 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 1: He's I mean one thing about it. If he is, 1399 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,680 Speaker 1: if he's the same guy in the pros as he 1400 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: is in college, he'll play on six teams because everybody 1401 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:01,600 Speaker 1: think I can fix him. I can fix him, I 1402 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 1: can fix him. But if he turns into what he 1403 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,559 Speaker 1: what it looks like he could be, and he fulfills 1404 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:11,600 Speaker 1: all this potential he'll be a He'll go to a team, 1405 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,679 Speaker 1: they'll draft him, he'll play there for ten or twelve years, 1406 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: and he'll go straight into their Hall of Fame Hall 1407 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 1: of Fame. That's where he's at. That's what you're looking at. 1408 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 6: Now. 1409 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,559 Speaker 1: It's a little different these days with free agency. I mean, 1410 01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,360 Speaker 1: he may, you know, want to walk and want to 1411 01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,639 Speaker 1: test it, but man, man, that that kind of guy 1412 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,840 Speaker 1: you don't let out of your building. That that's kind 1413 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,439 Speaker 1: of the that's kind of the spectrum of where he's 1414 01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: going to fall as a pro. He's going to get 1415 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:39,679 Speaker 1: multiple opportunities with his athleticism. Yeah, but if he doesn't 1416 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: need multiple opportunities and he hits a home run with 1417 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,639 Speaker 1: the first team that picks him, good for his it's 1418 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,879 Speaker 1: gonna be and he's going to have an absolutely amazing 1419 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 1: All Pro Pro Bowl type of year season and career. 1420 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,840 Speaker 3: Shamar Stewart I don't think has been mocked to the 1421 01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 3: Bills at all. And I'm talking like early mock drafts 1422 01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,519 Speaker 3: before Combine results came out. 1423 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:01,679 Speaker 4: I'm not seeing his name. 1424 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 3: So we've got a mock Draft watch coming out on Saturday. 1425 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 3: It's Mock Draft three point zero. Mock Draft Watch three 1426 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:12,080 Speaker 3: point zero. Just to give you a little teaser before 1427 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 3: we go to break. I've tracked forty five mock drafts 1428 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,920 Speaker 3: so far, and of those forty five, defensive line is 1429 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 3: the favorite position. Defensive tackle is the favorite if you're 1430 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 3: looking at interior or edge rusher. Fifteen defensive tackles have 1431 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 3: been mocked to Buffalo, and over around twenty five defensive 1432 01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 3: linemen not different defensive lineman. 1433 01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,200 Speaker 4: A defensive lineman. 1434 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,240 Speaker 3: Has been mocked to Buffalo around twenty five times with 1435 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:47,640 Speaker 3: their first round pick. The favorite name so far. And 1436 01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,719 Speaker 3: I've seen this kind of change as the scouting combine 1437 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 3: has come and gone. But right now, Kenneth Grant, the 1438 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 3: defensive tackle out of Michigan, is the favorite name for Buffalo. 1439 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 3: We're going to dig in to this, I think on 1440 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 3: Monday's show, but kind of dig into some of these 1441 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,200 Speaker 3: defensive linemen that have been mocked to Buffalo several times. 1442 01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, And if and if the if the 1443 01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,559 Speaker 1: Bill's trade for Trey Hendrickson or Miles Garrett, all the 1444 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 1: mock draps change. 1445 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 3: You're so right, It changes so quickly, and it really 1446 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 3: does change after free agency because then then you really see, Okay, 1447 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,280 Speaker 3: where do they need to fill in the holes on 1448 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:32,160 Speaker 3: this roster before the team comes together for mini camps 1449 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:32,960 Speaker 3: beginning in May. 1450 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 4: Break time for us. 1451 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 3: When we return, we're head into the tweet sheet Friday 1452 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,800 Speaker 3: fan mail bag.

If 1460 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 3: you have any questions for us surrounding the draft or 1461 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 3: free agency, you will go first from Stimpy. What do 1462 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,839 Speaker 3: you think the Bill's plans are for kayr Elam. 1463 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 1: It's a great question. 1464 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 4: It is a great ques. 1465 01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 1: It's a great question, and there's a lot of questions 1466 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 1: we don't know in this building. You know, what has 1467 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 1: been his whole what has been holding him back? We 1468 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 1: thought once it might be the coaching staff that you know, 1469 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,000 Speaker 1: he just needed a fresh set of eyes and you 1470 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,479 Speaker 1: know they need to coach him a little differently. Maybe 1471 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,240 Speaker 1: it was he wasn't a scheme fit. You can take 1472 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 1: your pick, but something keeps him off the field. Certainly 1473 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,120 Speaker 1: he's he gets a couple, he got a couple of penalties, 1474 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,679 Speaker 1: even this highlight we're looking at with his Pittsburgh Steelers game, 1475 01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,920 Speaker 1: Remember he had two penalties in this same drive and 1476 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: then ends up picking it off in the end zone 1477 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 1: in a playoff game. And that's been indicative of his career, 1478 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,640 Speaker 1: a little bit of a roller coaster, the word has 1479 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 1: And he's and I from my experience with him and 1480 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 1: speaking to him, so it's just an outstanding guy. Yeah, 1481 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 1: just a great guy. And he works very hard. You 1482 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: see him out here working. So what is keeping him 1483 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 1: off the field? I couldn't tell you. Perhaps the Bills 1484 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 1: can package him and market him in a way that 1485 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,719 Speaker 1: makes him maybe to have a better start or better 1486 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 1: finished to his rookie contract someplace else. But as of now, 1487 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 1: he's still a Buffalo Bill and I don't know why. 1488 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what their plan is or what they 1489 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 1: think about him. That's another one of those aspects of 1490 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,360 Speaker 1: the roster that we don't know their plan because we 1491 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,200 Speaker 1: don't know their evaluation of their own players. 1492 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 3: I want it for him, whether it's going to be 1493 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,360 Speaker 3: here or whether it's going to be elsewhere, because, like 1494 01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,280 Speaker 3: you said, Tasker talking to him, interacting with him, getting 1495 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,960 Speaker 3: to know him since he was drafted by the Bills, 1496 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 3: just a great young man and somebody who in the 1497 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 3: locker room when I'm in there, he's watched film, he's 1498 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 3: talking to his teammates. It just seems like he's got 1499 01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,439 Speaker 3: a great, great relationship with the other defensive backs, which 1500 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 3: can be a hard thing to do when when you 1501 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 3: get drafted in the first round and you think you're 1502 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 3: going to be a starter and then it hasn't worked 1503 01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,160 Speaker 3: out for you the last couple of seasons to see 1504 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 3: other guys kind of take your spot and be like, nah, man, 1505 01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 3: I'm not going to hang out with them, Like this 1506 01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 3: is my job and this was my job. It's not 1507 01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 3: my job anymore. But I think he's done a great 1508 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 3: job at forming those relationships. So I really admire him 1509 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 3: for what he's done with that. And then just I 1510 01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,919 Speaker 3: think he has a great outlook in a great mindset 1511 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,720 Speaker 3: on the outside of just you know, my time will 1512 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 3: come when it comes, and I want to be ready 1513 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,640 Speaker 3: when that moment happens. Unfortunately in the playoffs what we 1514 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 3: saw from him wasn't what we had been used to 1515 01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 3: seeing when his number was called. 1516 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:50,160 Speaker 4: In the past. 1517 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a difficult guy not to cheer for when 1518 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 1: you get around get to know him and see him 1519 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 1: in and around the building with his teammates and that 1520 01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 1: kind of thing. He's really hard not to cheer for him. 1521 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,559 Speaker 1: But you know, a number one draft, a first round 1522 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 1: draft pick who is a healthy scratch when the team 1523 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 1: is fully healthy and ready to go. He's a healthy 1524 01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 1: scratch that's difficult to reconcile. Maybe you can convince other 1525 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,640 Speaker 1: teams that he'd be better in their building and use 1526 01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 1: him as part of a trade package. We've had tons 1527 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,800 Speaker 1: of fans and tons of people on social media saying 1528 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,320 Speaker 1: that's what they should do. You know, do the guy 1529 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 1: a favor, give him a fresh start with another team. 1530 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 1: And also his athleticism, which is still very elite, Yes, 1531 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 1: is enticing for other teams to give him a shot 1532 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: in their system. So there is that. But I but 1533 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: like I said, he falls into the he's the wheelhouse 1534 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,559 Speaker 1: of We don't know what the Bills think about their 1535 01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 1: own players, let alone what they think about all these 1536 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 1: free agents. And we're gonna have to wait until they 1537 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:41,599 Speaker 1: take action. 1538 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,680 Speaker 3: And it's also interesting because when he was drafted. When 1539 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,840 Speaker 3: Kyer Elan was drafted, Elan was known as being like 1540 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 3: a pressman corner, somebody who's gonna get up to the 1541 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,760 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, bump the guy, have some tight coverage. 1542 01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 3: And you see this man coverage thinging becoming a bigger 1543 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,640 Speaker 3: part of the conversation as to the Bills played in 1544 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,200 Speaker 3: more of it this past season. Are they going to 1545 01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,759 Speaker 3: continue to do that in the twenty twenty five season 1546 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,440 Speaker 3: against quarterbacks where the ball is coming out so quickly. 1547 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:14,120 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we'll have to wait and see. But he 1548 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 1: asked us, what do we think the plans are for 1549 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,600 Speaker 1: Kyrie Eedam. We do not know. 1550 01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have literally no idea. 1551 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:23,400 Speaker 1: It's a really, really good question. 1552 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,639 Speaker 3: And then just before we move on to the next question, 1553 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:29,560 Speaker 3: I pulled up Brandon Bean's press conference transcript from the 1554 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 3: season ending press conference right after they lost. He was 1555 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 3: asked about Elam and Bean said the special team's piece 1556 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:41,640 Speaker 3: of this hurts from that standpoint of his of what 1557 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,840 Speaker 3: happened for him this past season, he said, I'd say 1558 01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 3: Jimarcus was a more valuable asset on special teams with 1559 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,400 Speaker 3: the numbers. Once you decided that your starters were Christian 1560 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,320 Speaker 3: and Rasoul, JaMarcus. 1561 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,680 Speaker 4: Was playing a lot of roles, was playing a backup. 1562 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,160 Speaker 3: Nickel role at the time with Cam Lewis, and you 1563 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,080 Speaker 3: can only put so many guys up on the roster. 1564 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 3: I know it's frustrating for Kye. I think there has 1565 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,720 Speaker 3: been a lot of frustration there for him. He's been 1566 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,679 Speaker 3: a pro. He's handled it well. It's definitely not how 1567 01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 3: he envisioned it the day we drafted him, or how 1568 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 3: we envisioned it. So we'll see what happens with Kyrie. 1569 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 4: Elam and with the bills. 1570 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,720 Speaker 3: What the plans are moving forward from j Mad on 1571 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,759 Speaker 3: our Friday fan mail bag, how is it that teams 1572 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:31,160 Speaker 3: are making trades even though they won't take place until 1573 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 3: next week. I thought they had to wait until the 1574 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:34,759 Speaker 3: tampering period. 1575 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Trades are different than free agency, right. Trades are guys 1576 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:41,840 Speaker 1: that are under contract for now until the end of 1577 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,200 Speaker 1: the league year. At least. Probably here is in advance, 1578 01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:47,519 Speaker 1: so they can trade guys anytime they want. Doing so 1579 01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:49,920 Speaker 1: before free agency it's or before the new league year 1580 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 1: comes has different cap implications. Than waiting till after Yes, 1581 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 1: so they wanted to get some of these trades done. 1582 01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 1: But they're perfectly able to trade up until the end 1583 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,360 Speaker 1: of the league year if it makes sense for them financially. 1584 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 1: This is not free agency. This is trades guys who 1585 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 1: are actually on the teams and the teams doing business 1586 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 1: as usual. Uh. Free agents are guys who are not 1587 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,559 Speaker 1: on teams. That's it's that simple. 1588 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,679 Speaker 3: And when you release a player, that player can go 1589 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:22,479 Speaker 3: find a different team. 1590 01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,760 Speaker 1: That's if you release and some of the team you 1591 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,519 Speaker 1: see some of these places that they've released, long time 1592 01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:31,639 Speaker 1: veterans that are beloved, they release them. That allows them 1593 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 1: to get out in front of free agency. Now that 1594 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 1: they've been released, they're no longer on the club. There 1595 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: are free agent right now. Most of the free agents 1596 01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about the still tied up with they don't 1597 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 1: become a free agent until Tuesday or Thursday or whatever 1598 01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,719 Speaker 1: it is. You know what Tuesday the tampering. You can't 1599 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,519 Speaker 1: talk to those guys because their contract has not run 1600 01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,680 Speaker 1: out until next week. So when that does that, then 1601 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 1: they are free agents. But you see it coming, you 1602 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:02,160 Speaker 1: know who they're going to be. That's the difference teams 1603 01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 1: can trade guys under contract at any point the free agencies. 1604 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,920 Speaker 1: The free agents don't become free agents until next week. 1605 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 1: Their contract's not up. They're still technically under contract, so 1606 01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:14,760 Speaker 1: that's why you can't talk to them. 1607 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, legal negotiating period begins March tenth, which is Monday. 1608 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:23,160 Speaker 3: New League year is Wednesday, March twelfth, at four o'clock 1609 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 3: when all those things become official. Now, when the negotiating 1610 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,960 Speaker 3: period starts, we're gonna see a lot of things on 1611 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:35,240 Speaker 3: Twitter because agents are coming out to say, hey, so 1612 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,640 Speaker 3: and so is going here, or we're having talks. 1613 01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:39,760 Speaker 4: With with this team. 1614 01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,200 Speaker 3: But none of that can become official from a club 1615 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:46,880 Speaker 3: standpoint until that four o'clock yea time on March twelve. 1616 01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:51,240 Speaker 1: I thinks nothing's official until they sign it. 1617 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 4: Until they sign it. 1618 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, they got to have physicals, they got to come 1619 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:54,839 Speaker 3: to buildings. 1620 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:56,680 Speaker 1: Yes, we'll have in this tampering period. You know what 1621 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:58,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna get guys to say, yeah, we've 1622 01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:02,160 Speaker 1: agreed to terms with this guy. Like at twelve oh one, 1623 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 1: they're going to say we've agreed to terms, Like, oh, 1624 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 1: it took you all of sixty seconds to get the 1625 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,559 Speaker 1: details here out, they'll be a little bit of that. 1626 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 1: But even so they can say all that, none of 1627 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 1: it's official until they actually sign the contract, which won't 1628 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,519 Speaker 1: be able to happen until the fourteenth. 1629 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 3: From Nuba, what's the number one position the Bills are 1630 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 3: looking at right now? 1631 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,679 Speaker 1: They've got defensive linemen that they don't have. They need 1632 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 1: more guys on that, and they need safeties and defensive 1633 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 1: backs right now. Those are the ones where they've got 1634 01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 1: kind of the finger quotes positional emergencies. They don't have 1635 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 1: enough guys and they don't have enough proven guys at 1636 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,479 Speaker 1: the NFL level or prospects at the NFL level to 1637 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 1: fill out a roster. They got sixty guys signed, but 1638 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 1: they don't have enough guys at certain position to even 1639 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:52,760 Speaker 1: field a team. So that's where they're looking at. Defensive line, 1640 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 1: I think in the secondary. 1641 01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, offensive line, you're you've got all your starters coming back, 1642 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 3: so you your golden there. But defensive line, if you 1643 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:05,679 Speaker 3: look down a chart, there's several defensive tackles that are 1644 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,639 Speaker 3: becoming free agents in just a few days, and Buffalo 1645 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,080 Speaker 3: has to figure out do we want to resigns on 1646 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 3: these players? Do we want to look elsewhere. So we'll 1647 01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,719 Speaker 3: see also for current players who are on this roster 1648 01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 3: who maybe won't be in a few days next week, 1649 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:25,600 Speaker 3: who gets resigned by Buffalo. There's got to be a 1650 01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 3: few of those guys. I think the number is twelve 1651 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 3: free agents that the Bills have. Last year it was 1652 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,439 Speaker 3: in the twenties, so definitely a smaller number this year. 1653 01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,560 Speaker 4: So we're gonna see a roster. 1654 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,040 Speaker 3: That looks a little bit more similar to last year 1655 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:41,479 Speaker 3: compared to the year before last. 1656 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,640 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting too, because you see these guys that 1657 01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:46,879 Speaker 1: are we're looking at the graphic now, Austin Johnson, Quentin Jefferson, 1658 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:53,799 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, Dwayne Smoot. Those are all defensive linemen. Nothing 1659 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,599 Speaker 1: says those guys won't sign back with Buffalo at whatever 1660 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 1: number they need to sign back at, but they are 1661 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:07,120 Speaker 1: also free to sign with other teams. So yeah, and 1662 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:11,759 Speaker 1: the Bills this same list on other teams. The Bills 1663 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,760 Speaker 1: have full access to those lists as well, and they're 1664 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna have files on what they think about all those guys, 1665 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 1: and if they think player A from the team on 1666 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,880 Speaker 1: the West Coast is better than their player, they will 1667 01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,800 Speaker 1: reach out to that guy and try and sign him 1668 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:29,880 Speaker 1: for the exact same money or less. Right. So that's 1669 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 1: that's the job. I mean, that's the job of Brandon 1670 01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,840 Speaker 1: Bean and all the scouts, the pro personnel that they have. 1671 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,760 Speaker 1: This is pro personnel week as you get close to 1672 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,360 Speaker 1: this free agency thing they've got. That's what when you 1673 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,880 Speaker 1: hear those guys talk about, that's what they do. They 1674 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 1: scour all thirty one other teams for guys they like 1675 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:50,680 Speaker 1: and what they think about them, and they have a 1676 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,200 Speaker 1: file on them, and they and they have an evaluation 1677 01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,439 Speaker 1: of them and they hopefully some point we talked to 1678 01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 1: that guy three years ago when he was coming out 1679 01:26:58,240 --> 01:26:58,639 Speaker 1: in the draft. 1680 01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 3: Here's the big you've been watching him here three years. 1681 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: Here's the video. All of that stuff goes on. So 1682 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 1: those guys are their nose to the grindstone these days. 1683 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,360 Speaker 3: I ran into one of our scouts in the cafeteria 1684 01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 3: this morning. I said, how you holding up right now? 1685 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:15,599 Speaker 4: He said, I am. 1686 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:19,799 Speaker 3: So busy and it's going to continue through the NFL. 1687 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,679 Speaker 1: Dress their heart keep going, guys, job, this. 1688 01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,240 Speaker 4: Is this is busy season for them. Man oh man. 1689 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:30,599 Speaker 3: They work so hard. They do such an incredible job. 1690 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 3: I cannot imagine the hours you clock being an NFL 1691 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 3: scout similar to being an NFL coach. All right, coming 1692 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,840 Speaker 3: up next, we are closing up shop for the week 1693 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 3: here at One Bill's Live. We're presenting Cloud Health on 1694 01:27:43,520 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills Radio. We're back here on one Bill's Live 1695 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,919 Speaker 3: talking about our Friday fan mailbag. Have a couple questions 1696 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 3: we have yet to answer, so let's dive into him. 1697 01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,640 Speaker 3: From Henry saying, I want the Bills to have a 1698 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 3: potentially better backup quarterback than Mike White. Draft a late 1699 01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 3: round quarterback, perhaps someone like Curtis Rourke coming off injury, 1700 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,320 Speaker 3: who can be on IR most of the year and 1701 01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:27,080 Speaker 3: not take a roster spot. A cheap, cost controlled young 1702 01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:28,800 Speaker 3: QB thoughts. 1703 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm yes, I'm all forgetting a bag of footballs to 1704 01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback because if Josh goes down, everything's 1705 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 1: done anyway, because nobody's going to replace him. You can't 1706 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 1: even come close. So if Josh Allen gets injured, I 1707 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:46,719 Speaker 1: don't care who plays quarter You could, yeah, it doesn't 1708 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:50,559 Speaker 1: matter if it's Mitch Trubisky or case Keenum or Kyle 1709 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 1: Allen or go down the list. But don't forget this. 1710 01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 1: The backup quarterback's job in the NFL, particularly on this 1711 01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 1: NFL team, is to help number seventeen play his absolute best. 1712 01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 1: If this kid you're talking about, what was his name, 1713 01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,840 Speaker 1: Curtis Rourke. If Curtis Rourke can help Josh Allen play 1714 01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:16,240 Speaker 1: his best, he's in. And I don't care if you 1715 01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 1: pay him five million or fifty bucks. The guy he's in. 1716 01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 1: That's the job. Help Josh play well. If Josh is 1717 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,040 Speaker 1: out of the game, nobody cares who your backup is. 1718 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,639 Speaker 1: It is absolutely irrelevant. You ain't winning the games, you're 1719 01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,400 Speaker 1: not going to this playoffs, you're not winning the super 1720 01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:33,400 Speaker 1: it's all done. He may play well and you might 1721 01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,040 Speaker 1: get Hey, look at this guy that no nobody cares. 1722 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,920 Speaker 1: So you're right. If Curtis Rurke can help Josh Allen 1723 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,800 Speaker 1: play better, he's in. But that's what the job is. 1724 01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 3: The quarterback room is a sacred place and you gotta 1725 01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:49,639 Speaker 3: fit the vibes with Josh Allen. All Right, that's gonna 1726 01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 3: do it for us for this week. Thanks for tuning 1727 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 3: into One Bills Live. We'll be back on Monday talking 1728 01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:55,719 Speaker 3: about a mock draft. 1729 01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:56,040 Speaker 1: Watch. 1730 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 4: See you then,
