1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Look you boys tonight.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: He is a feast for the capitol fiend. The cook

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: is in the kitchen, looks.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: Now the sideline.

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: He's got kickad for a twenty three yard touchdown and

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: it's intercepted. Jumping up in the air is bad for.

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 4: These These One Bill's Lives presented by Kalita Health.

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: All Right, welcome in. It's another week of One Bill's Live.

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 5: Chris Brown, Steve Jasker with you, and plenty going on

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 5: as the owners meetings have begun in Earnest out at Arizona,

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 5: and we'll have Brandon Bean's comments for you as he

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 5: addressed the media just about an hour ago. We will

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 5: have that for you. So plenty of details to get

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 5: with regard to the offseason and what has happened thus

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 5: far and Bean's reaction to it. So I guess we'll

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 5: begin first and foremost with.

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Our weekend.

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 5: Steve, Oh yeah, how about the March Madness game of

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 5: the tournament A Yukon Duke.

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: I know, I was.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 3: I was in the city over the weekend, New York City,

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: New York City.

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 4: And so I'm completely missed all of it, so I

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 4: had to catch up. I don't know if it's better

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 4: than to catch up or just to know what you know,

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: kind of get it. But it's unbelievable, and that this

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: is exactly, not exactly why. This is one of the

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: things that makes this tournament, this three week or month

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: long tournament. I mean, you gotta watch it.

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 5: You got to watch it, right. My wife and I

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 5: were watching that game towards the end. We have a

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 5: running joke that my wife's kind of game is one

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 5: that's tied with two minutes left.

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: Well, this was close enough to fit that bill.

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: So she was locked in and then the final shot

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 5: came and she put her hands over her head and was,

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 5: let's just say exuberant, right, not nearly as exuberant as

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: I can get during college basketball games, especially when my

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 5: team's playing, but she was locked in and then it

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: ended that way.

41
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: And she was stunned.

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: Unbelievable thirty five foot shot from the Mullins kid.

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: It was funny. My brother in law texted me, he goes,

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: is that.

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: Guy related to Chris Mullins. I was like, Chris Mullen

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: doesn't have an S at the end of his last name.

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: It's Chris Mullen. This kid's last name is Mullins.

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 5: But I think the coolest part of the whole thing

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: is he's a freshman. He's from the state of Indiana,

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 5: and he just hit the biggest shot of the season

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 5: and probably of his life. And he's going to go

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 5: home to Indiana because the Final four is in Indianapolis.

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: This year's whole family is going to be at the

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 5: Final four, which I think is just awesome.

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: I grew up in a time, of course, when there

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: was no three point line. I'm that old, and you

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: only saw shots like you know, the half courts, desperation

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: all that. This is different. The kid took an took

59
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: an open jumper from the logo. But they, you know,

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: we see that once in a while, you know, you.

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: See you know in a banks Steph Curry for yeah.

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: Thanks Steph Curry, Caitlin Clark and that crew over there

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: on the women's side of things. They they're shooters over there.

64
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: But you get this kid who takes it and just

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: drains it, I mean, drains it.

66
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: Nothing but that.

67
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: And we have seen, you know, you go back in time,

68
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: it's the Michigan you know, the time out, the time out.

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: There wasn't a time out. The throat, the throat of

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: the wrong team Red Brown, Georgetown to James Worthy, Yeah

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: to North Carolina, James Worthy. That you see and this

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: is kind of like that.

73
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: It was a short circuit moment. It was a moment

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 5: where just hold the ball and get fouled. All you

75
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 5: got to do is just grab the ball.

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: Now.

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: This was a very interesting strategy by Yukon. On the

78
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: final play, they obviously set up the full court press

79
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 5: because they're down too. They left after the initial inbounds

80
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 5: pass comes in. Yukon completely leaves the two duke players

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: in the front court completely uncovered. They double the second passer,

82
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 5: and they double the guy in the middle of the

83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: floor who was the other boozer brother, Caden, not Cameron.

84
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 5: So Cameron passes to Caden, who is the shorter of

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: the two, is double teamed and sees two guys in

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 5: the front court completely uncovered. If I get the ball

87
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 5: to them, the game is over, we win. But the

88
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: pressure get those guys closing on him and getting their

89
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: hands up tip the pass. He didn't get it over them.

90
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 5: He could have held the ball and just gotten fouled.

91
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 5: Go to the line.

92
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: You hit two, you hit? Was hit two? Games over?

93
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: Was there a time out before the inbound that they're

94
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 4: coming out of a timeout.

95
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, so oh no, it was a free throw. Yeah,

96
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 5: it was a free throw. If you hit the second

97
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 5: free throw, no time out.

98
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: That's the thing.

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: Ecuments killed the clock, you went.

100
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes, particularly young guys, they got to be told that

101
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: you get hold the ball, you're fine, you know, da

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: da all that. They gotta be walked through it. They don't.

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't come to them. And so they're thinking, like

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: it's like a million other times they've had it up

105
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: the court. You got to get it past the line,

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: you know, they didn't. In retrospect, it's easy.

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: But and I don't usually root for Yukon because they're

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 5: a big East rival of my team, but at this

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 5: stage of the game, I root for the conference. So

110
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: even though Dan Hurley isn't my favorite guy either.

111
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 6: But.

112
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: Unbelievable and bless his his mom, bless her heart in

113
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: the stands there.

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: Oh she's swearing like a sailor.

115
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: Oh she was. She's a total total mom basketball mom.

116
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: And just what a scene. Grant Hill and Bill Bill

117
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 4: what to do with themselves? I an eagle, nailed it.

118
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: I and he absolutely nailed it. And the it's bedlam

119
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 4: is crazy. It is absolutely not. And then, of course

120
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: if your duke is like done of the balloon, point

121
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: three to go and you're thinking, okay, Christian layton er

122
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: kind of thing.

123
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 3: No, that's well, that took one point two seconds, right exactly.

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just gotta make you gotta make the inpound

125
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: inbound pass. You can't. Oh man, it was absolutely unbelievable.

126
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: That finish of that game.

127
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: Crazy.

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: But we have Bill's stuff to get to, so we're

129
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 5: gonna do that here right now.

130
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: Uh, Bill's GM.

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 5: Brandon Bean, as we told you, addressed the media at

132
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: the owner's meetings in Arizona about an hour ago and

133
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 5: outlined a few off season items, not the least of

134
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 5: which was Josh Allen's foot, which, as we know, had

135
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 5: surgery performed on it after he broke it late last season,

136
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 5: and according to Bean, it's healing well from surgery and

137
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: he is expected to be full go come April when

138
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: the team's back here beginning the off season conditioning program

139
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: and eventually practices. We do have to remember that Joe Brady,

140
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 5: as a new head coach, will be able to start

141
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: a week earlier. These new coaches are afforded that. Luxury

142
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: Bean also said he's still open to taking a wide

143
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 5: receiver at picked twenty six, even with the acquisition of DJ.

144
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: Moore via trade. More on that in a little bit.

145
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 5: Being additionally said there will be an open competition at

146
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: the left guard position and mentioned Alec Anderson and newly

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: signed free agent Austin Corbett as two of the candidates.

148
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 5: He also confirmed that Connor McGovern will remain the starting center,

149
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 5: with Lloyd Cushionberry vine to be the primary backup there.

150
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: Presumably he'll compete with Cedric van prand Granger. And we

151
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: were speculating here Steve on Friday as to whether or

152
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: not cushion Berry, being a former five year starter at center,

153
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: most recently with the Titans, might push McGovern back to

154
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 5: left guard, where he started when he signed here as

155
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: a free agent.

156
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: But it doesn't sound.

157
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: Like that is the case because Being mentioned McGovern as

158
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: the starting center once again, so we anticipate he'll continue

159
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: in the pivot there.

160
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: Yes, all that's probable, but I know this and we've

161
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 4: seen it here. Once practice starts, we start hearing like, well,

162
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: we're also working this guy in its center, and we're

163
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: also working this guy guard and we're gonna help. Well,

164
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 4: they used to do that a lot because if injuries happen,

165
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: coaching staff wants to be able to like your backup

166
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: guys a better tackle than your tackles are good all

167
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: around athletes. So we're gonna slide the tackle down inside

168
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: and put the tackle at tackle and put our right

169
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: tackle down at that kind of stuff and start moving

170
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: stuff around. So you can have a guy that plays

171
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: more than one position right guard, left guard, right tackle,

172
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: left tackle, right tackle, left guard. All of it centers

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: a little bit of a different animal because of the

174
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: exchange that happens and the communication that happens. But yeah,

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 4: we can say all we want about the guys who

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: they've signed, your cost well and all this guy, but

177
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: you never know where these guys are going to line

178
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 4: up very quickly.

179
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 5: Alec Anderson and Cedric Van Pray and Grainger have veteran

180
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 5: competition in their ranks that they're going to be competing

181
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 5: directly with when they get back here in the spring

182
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 5: in the not too distant future, so it'll make for

183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 5: some interesting competition on the offensive line. Bean also confirmed

184
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 5: that they have a preliminary agreement to do a one

185
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 5: day joint practice with the Cleveland Browns leading up to

186
00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: a preseason game, So apparently they have information that has

187
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: indicated to them they'll be playing each other in the preseason,

188
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: but the schedule needs to be confirmed by the NFL

189
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 5: in the preseason before those plans are finalized. If we

190
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 5: remember last year, the Bills went up to Chicago practiced

191
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 5: with the Bears for a day or so leading up

192
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 5: to their preseason game there. It looks like they intend

193
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 5: to do the same with Cleveland. What is not clear

194
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 5: is whether or not that game is here in Buffalo

195
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 5: or in Cleveland. This year, the Bills have two home

196
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: preseason games, so too do the Browns because the AFC

197
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: teams only have eight regular season home games, so they

198
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 5: get the extra preseason home game in the summer.

199
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: It's it has been customary in the past. I think

200
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: it's still this way. The teams themselves make the preseason schedules.

201
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: That's not the league.

202
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: They don't have to say so.

203
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: I don't. I think the league could, but I think

204
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: the teams now the league doesn't win in like the

205
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame game, right, the league puts it out,

206
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: but the clubs can say no, or the clubs can say, yeah,

207
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 4: we would like to play in it this year. So

208
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 4: the preseasons are all made by the teams themselves. They

209
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 4: go out and they find them. It's obviously league rule.

210
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: You've got to play three of them or two of

211
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 4: them or whatever it is, and you got to have

212
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: two at home this year and that kind of thing.

213
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: But the schedule for the preseason is largely done by

214
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: the clubs, so the way I understand it, so that's why, Yeah,

215
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: if you're gonna practice, hey, how about how about it?

216
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: And they say, yeah, sure, let's do it.

217
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: NFL clubs have significant input into their preseason schedules and

218
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: often negotiate their own matchups, though the league makes the

219
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 5: final decision.

220
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 4: So there you go. That's kind of how So that's

221
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: and the league. You can bet the leagues like going

222
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: to it. Yeah, please take care of this for us

223
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: because the schedule itself, that's enough of a lift. Yeah.

224
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 5: Finally being talked about how cornerback Dorian Strong had neck

225
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 5: surgery for his injury last season that landed him on

226
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 5: injured reserve and that they have to wait to see

227
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 5: how he comes through his recovery from that procedure to

228
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: know if football is still in his future. A real

229
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: shame there, because Dorian Strong was really playing well to

230
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 5: the point where he was in position to move into

231
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: the starting lineup. This is while Max Hairston was still

232
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: on injured reserve and off the field, and Dorian Strong

233
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: was playing so well there was a chance he was

234
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 5: going to overtake Tredevius White at outside corner and start.

235
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 5: And then this neck injury popped up and he got

236
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: put on injured reserve and subsequently had to have surgery.

237
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 5: So we'll see if his recovery from said surgery allows

238
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 5: him to continue his football future, but that still seems

239
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 5: to be up in the air. According to Brandon Bean,

240
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 5: ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller put together a seven round

241
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: mock draft. God help him, and in round one he

242
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 5: had the Bills taking Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper with

243
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 5: pick twenty six, and then in round three he had

244
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: them taking edge rusher Derek Moore out of Michigan with

245
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 5: pick ninety one. Derek Moore, more of a power rusher,

246
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 5: had some good numbers is last year in school. I

247
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: was actually looking I just happened to be looking at

248
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: his tape last week as I'm trying to fill out

249
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: my familiarity with at least the top one hundred and

250
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 5: fifty players in the draft if we can here, this

251
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 5: is some of what I had in notes on him.

252
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 5: Has NFL play strength as a power rusher. Has a

253
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 5: speed to power approach, good one arm stab and bull

254
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 5: rush moves.

255
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,119
Speaker 3: Also has a double.

256
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: Arm swipe move as the bend in athleticism to continue

257
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 5: his rush around the arc even when still engaged. Very

258
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 5: good contact balance to maintain the rush. Disciplined in setting

259
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 5: the edge in the run front. Has good wrap up

260
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 5: tackling technique. Plays under control, rarely off balance, rarely overruns

261
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 5: the play team captain. Finish strong as a senior ten

262
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: sacks after nine over the previous two seasons. Also at

263
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 5: ten and a half tackles for loss last year after

264
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: just twelve over the previous two years. I think he's

265
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: widely considered like a high floor player, but not a

266
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 5: high ceiling player, and that's why he's probably gonna still

267
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 5: be on the board somewhere late on day two. So

268
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: for what it's worth, six four, two fifty five.

269
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: So there you go. Yeah, that's the lowdown on him.

270
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: The other guy, the Omar Cooper.

271
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: Oh he's a big boy.

272
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's six foot two hundred pounds and pretty good

273
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: tackle breaker, strong, very strong, another guy with a really

274
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: good contact ballance.

275
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 5: Obviously, everybody remembers him from the huge play he made

276
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: at the end of the game against Penn State Inhappy Valley.

277
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 5: Maybe the catch of the year where he's falling out

278
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 5: of the back of the end zone with a dB

279
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 5: draped all over him and he gets his back foot

280
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 5: down to make it a reception and what proved to

281
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: be a game winning score to keep Indiana's undefeated season intact,

282
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 5: and then you know, they go the rest of the

283
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 5: way to the national title. So probably the catch of

284
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 5: the year or one of them. Anyway, I'm not going

285
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 5: to pretend to have seen all the college receptions from

286
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: last season, but man, that was a that was a

287
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 5: money play. Let's go around the NFL here quickly, and

288
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: the public posturing Steve regarding a new CBA for the

289
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 5: NFL referees association with the league continues. The NFL is

290
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 5: making sure the public knows that the league has offered

291
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 5: its game officials a six year labor deal with a

292
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: six point four to five annual growth rate and compensation,

293
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: while the NFLRA is insisting on ten percent plus two

294
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: and a half million dollars for marketing fees the league

295
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 5: regards as worthless. According to sources, the union also continues

296
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 5: to resist changes the NFL is assisting upon, including shortening

297
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: the dark period after the Super Bowl, deploying underperforming officials

298
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 5: to the Spring league for extra reps in the UFL,

299
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: and ending a seniority based system for playoff assignments. As

300
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,479
Speaker 5: one source told NFL Network, we want to pay for performance.

301
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: Here is the retort, Steve.

302
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: The retort, let's hear it.

303
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, the Referees Association has responded, saying in a statement

304
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 5: by executive director Scott Green that the league is putting

305
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 5: out falls and misleading information instead of wanting to meet

306
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: at the negotiating table. Green went on to say that quote,

307
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: the bottom line is, our officials work for the wealthiest

308
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 5: sports league in America, with profits that far outseed any

309
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: of the others. That's normally a point of pride for

310
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 5: the NFL. However, our officials are substantially under compensated when

311
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 5: compared to baseball and basketball umpires and referees. Our officials

312
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: also aren't provided the healthcare benefits that those at three

313
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: forty five Park have. And you have quote as far

314
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 5: as performance pay, we had high performing officials who worked

315
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: this year's championship games and the Super Bowl who were

316
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: paid less for those games than what they were paid

317
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 5: for a regular season game.

318
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: That certainly isn't rewarding performance, as the NFL claims is

319
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: their goal. Now, here's one thing that I wonder about

320
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: the NFL. Yes, is unquestionably the most profitable league. I

321
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: think the reason in Major League Baseball and refs in

322
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 3: the NBA make more money is because they're doing more games.

323
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're doing one hundred and sixty two baseball games

324
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: and age two regular seasons in basketball games, and they

325
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: can't do anything. I don't think they can do anything

326
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 4: else other than ref officiate games.

327
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: The schedule is more demanding.

328
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 4: The schedule is way more demanding and I and so

329
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: there's that, and the league can bounce back with that.

330
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: It's hard. As much as I can sympathize with the

331
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: officials and what they go through, it's hard. It's hard

332
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: to gain leverage on the NFL, and I don't think

333
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: they have any. And you'll see people online in the

334
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 4: media and guys in our business with ESPN going on,

335
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: you can't go back to the twenty twelve when you

336
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: know the Green Bay and Seattle game where they messed

337
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: it all up and they couldn't get it right, and

338
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: YadA YadA, tipping point. It was a tipping point. The

339
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 4: thing was over the next week.

340
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: They're trying to preempt that. They'll do it by getting

341
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 5: replacement officials in place. They will do before they did

342
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 5: back in twenty twelve, when they only got replacement officials

343
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 5: in place in July. This time they're getting started in April.

344
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 4: They will use replacement officials as as long as they

345
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: can get away with it, they will do it.

346
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 5: Particularly now, I wonder what officials they get because do

347
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 5: college officials like go against the union of the NFL

348
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: Referees Association. I have no idea, Like I think that's

349
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 5: a question to be asked too. You know, how tight

350
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 5: is the referee community, you know what I mean?

351
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: Well, they're not certainly not. Also, they're not gonna go

352
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 4: back and get guys who've retired and do it because

353
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 4: those guys built the union that they're fighting exactly, you know.

354
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: So I'm just curious how that will all work. And

355
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: how willing.

356
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess if the money's right, anybody will

357
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 5: do anything. But knowing there's a referees Association union and

358
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 5: a lot of the college officials aspire to be NFL

359
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: officials someday, like, do you want to burn that bridge

360
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 5: by being, for lack of a better term, well, I'll

361
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 5: just say it a replacement official. You know, I don't

362
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: want to say scab, but like I think the union

363
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 5: would consider it that.

364
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: They'll find guys. Yeah, they'll find them.

365
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: How qualified will they be?

366
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 4: You know, they're not going to be qualified because they're

367
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: going to be replacement officials. If they were qualified, they'd

368
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: be working, So they're not going to be qualified. The

369
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: trump card this time around that the NFL played. We

370
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: saw it last week where they said, listen the eye

371
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 4: and the sky. If there's replacement officials and they screw it.

372
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: The guy up top is going to have the call.

373
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 4: He'll get it right, So he'll get it right fast.

374
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: So the officials on the field will probably spot the

375
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: ball and get out of the way, which means which

376
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 4: also tilts the field in favor of the defenses and

377
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 4: all of that because they're or you know, the defensive

378
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 4: backfield and the pass interference and the illegal contact, and

379
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: it'll help the offensive line because they'll just grab whole

380
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 4: latch on and they won't. You know, nobody's gonna call anything.

381
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: Replacement officials are reticent to throw flags.

382
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 5: It's my although we did mention the last time this happened,

383
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 5: the stats were up for the number of pass interference

384
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 5: penalties called. They called more PI, slightly more than regular officials.

385
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 5: It also showed that replacement officials were more influenced by

386
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 5: home crowds getting on them couple of percentages, which is

387
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: human nature, a couple of percentage points. The Cleveland Browns

388
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 5: won't be signing free agent aj Epenessa after all. As

389
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 5: initially reported last week, the Browns were concerned with some

390
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 5: of what they uncovered in his physical, so the deal

391
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 5: he was ready to sign has apparently been pulled by

392
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 5: the club. So Epinessa remains.

393
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 3: This is free agent.

394
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 4: This is not getting as much headline attention as the

395
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 4: Max Crosby failing No, but.

396
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: This is proof that this does tend This can happen,

397
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: and every team has a different set of doctors with

398
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 5: a different set of standards that they'll willingly pass a

399
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 5: player on and the Browns did not want to do

400
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 5: that in this case, So the one year, five million

401
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: dollar reported deal for Epinessa has been torn up and

402
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 5: Epinessa is still looking for a place to work. In

403
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: other Brown's news, GM Andrew Berry stated unequivocally at the

404
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 5: owners meetings in Arizona that Miles Garrett is a career

405
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: Brown and one of the faces of their organization and

406
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: will not be traded. This on the heels of all

407
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 5: the speculation when they restructured his deal, which would make

408
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 5: a trade more feasible, especially for the team that might

409
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 5: be interested in acquiring him, because the cap hit would

410
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 5: only be a little over nine million dollars for a

411
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: team if they were interested. Eagles GM Howie Roseman had

412
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 5: a stock answer for every question about AJ Brown that

413
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 5: he fielded from the local media at the league meetings.

414
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 5: Opting for a neutral response amid the ongoing trade speculation

415
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: about Brown, he said, Howie Roseman said, quote, I understand

416
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 5: that there's interest in the AJ Brown story. Unfortunately don't

417
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: have a home under a rock. But my answer to

418
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 5: any question on AJ Brown is AJ Brown is a

419
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 5: member of the Eagles from my perspective. Anything you asked

420
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 5: me about AJ Brown. I'm going to go right back

421
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 5: to that answer now.

422
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: If you want to.

423
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 5: Read between the lines. AJ Brown is a member of

424
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 5: the Eagles present tense. There is widespread speculation that he

425
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: can be a post June first trade.

426
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 4: Yes, and there's absolutely no doubt he's going to be

427
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 4: a post June first trade.

428
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, because it reduces the cap hit considerably.

429
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: He's he's gonna be traded post June first.

430
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: Why are you convinced of it?

431
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 4: Because he wants to be and he was a problem

432
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 4: last year and it got to the point where it

433
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 4: looked like it was costing them some production on the field.

434
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: You can't live like that if you're a football team.

435
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: And either either they pay him to stick around and

436
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 4: can ch passes from Jalen Hurts, or they get rid

437
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: of him and they'll be interested parties. How he's not

438
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: going to get fleeced though, I mean, that's the thing.

439
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: He's not going to do it for nothing. And there

440
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: will be there will be a lot of teams standing

441
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: in the line to have to have a talk about

442
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 4: AJ Brown.

443
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 5: It won't be fleeed, but I think teams know that

444
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: there is motivation to move him. So they may not

445
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 5: have to pay. My point is big a premium.

446
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: My point is this, You're not negotiating with Howie Roseman.

447
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 4: When you trade for AJ Brown, You're negotiating against You're

448
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: bidding against every other team that wants And what if

449
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: you have, what's you know better than they do? That's it.

450
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 4: That's that's the that's the bottom line.

451
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 5: Rams head coach Sean McVay at the NFL owners meetings

452
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 5: today said that the Rams are looking at Jimmy Garoppolo

453
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: and Kirk Cousins for their backup quarterback role. Garoppolo is

454
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 5: with the Rams each of the last two seasons as

455
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 5: their backup, but is now a free agent. And NFL

456
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 5: Draft news, Clemson cornerback Avion Terrell was set to hold

457
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: his pro day today after an injury delayed him from

458
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 5: performing for scouts, and unfortunately, he aggravated his hamstring injury

459
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: on the first run of his private pro day at

460
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 5: Clemson today. He's been projected as a first round pick.

461
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: So things not going right for Avian Terrell. Ajterrell's younger brother.

462
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 5: So those are your news and notes, topic of discussion

463
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: for you today. How would you feel if the Bills

464
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 5: took a first round wide receiver.

465
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: We already told you that.

466
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 5: Brandon Bean said today he would not rule out taking

467
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: a receiver at pick twenty six just because they acquired

468
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 5: DJ Moore in a trade.

469
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: So how does that grab you?

470
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 5: You let us know at one Bills live on Twitter

471
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 5: X whatever you call the app these days, that's where

472
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 5: you can respond and join the discussion. So I can't

473
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 5: say I'm surprised by that comment at all. I'm not

474
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 5: convinced they're taking a receiver at twenty ti. But if

475
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 5: the right prospect falls there, sure it could happen. Yeah,

476
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: can't rule it out.

477
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 4: And want I always say they just take the best

478
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 4: player and then your roster would get better automatically. I'm yeah,

479
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: they're trying to get there. I don't I don't know

480
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 4: if they're there yet. I mean, I was going down

481
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 4: the list, you know, DJ Moore, Bradley Chubb, d Alford,

482
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: Kyle Allen, c J Chauncey Gardner, Mitch Wesnowski, Lloyd Cushion Berry,

483
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: Trent Sherfield, Austin Corbett, Deamar Hamlin. They're not I don't

484
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 4: with even with safeties, offensive linemen and corners and a

485
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: defensive end and a wide receiver. I don't know that

486
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 4: they feel right now that they could go in and

487
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: not draft a little bit for need at least.

488
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

489
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 5: I just think that if you look at the entire

490
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: offense right now, the only position where you could conceive

491
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 5: them taking a pick, especially early, is probably wide receiver.

492
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 5: You got your tight ends on lockdown, your top three,

493
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 5: and you have Kalechi Latu who got called up a

494
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 5: couple of times last year and played in games, so

495
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 5: he's your fourth.

496
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 6: Right.

497
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 5: Your running backs are set and still under contract, same

498
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 5: three guys, and then your offensive line. You just added

499
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 5: two veteran free agents to a group that's already deep,

500
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: and you signed your backup quarterback and Kyle Allen.

501
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 3: So receivers really the only.

502
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 5: On the position on offense that doesn't have some kind

503
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 5: of death.

504
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 4: All the guys that they've got on the roster took

505
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: some signific except for Trent Sherfield and Jalen Virgil. The

506
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 4: rest of those guys took some They saw him on

507
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 4: the field last year. You know Shavers, who's not going

508
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 4: to be ready, but Shavers. You got Shakir Palmer, DJ

509
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 4: Moore and Mkole Hardman all those guys have some chops

510
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 4: in the league, so you kind of know what you've got.

511
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: And if they feel good about those guys, which we

512
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 4: once again we don't know how they feel about them.

513
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah maybe, okay, all right now we're good. But all

514
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 4: of us here, I think because we're so familiar with

515
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 4: and the latest season we've seen from Nicole Hardman and

516
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: Josh Palmer and Trent Sherfield when he was here last time,

517
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: and it was like, no, no, we need a little fresh.

518
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: We need this little fresh, some fresh. Yeah, like DJ

519
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: Moore is nice, but we need somebody better, you know

520
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: what I mean. I just think people they want a

521
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 4: name that will move the needle, right.

522
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: I get it at this point though.

523
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: I mean, if they add somebody in free agency, it's

524
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: gonna be someone post draft and you'll hear one of

525
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 5: those names from GM Brandon Bean, who addressed the media.

526
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 5: As we said an hour ago, we're gonna have his

527
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 5: comments for you when we return here on one Bill's Live.

528
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 3: Stay with us.

529
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 5: All right back here on one of Bill's Live, Chris

530
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 5: Brown Steve task and has promised GM Brandon Bean spoke

531
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 5: to the media a little over an hour ago, we

532
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: have his comments for you, and we're going to turn

533
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 5: to those now so you can hear how the GM

534
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 5: brought everybody up to speed on the off season doings

535
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: by the Buffalo Bills.

536
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 7: I know you spoke with some of the guys, but

537
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 7: what was the thought process behind the DG more true. Yeah,

538
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 7: I think just a guy who's a dynamic player. You're

539
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 7: always looking for weapons, you know, tight end, receiver, running back,

540
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 7: like how many different pieces can we give Joe Brady,

541
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 7: Pete Carmichael and Josh to you know, obviously trying to

542
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 7: score points.

543
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 6: And so he's a player that we tracked all the

544
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 6: way back to the year Josh was drafted.

545
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 7: And obviously had a good, good career in Carolina, gets

546
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 7: traded some years back to Chicago, and I think just

547
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 7: the opportunity from where they were with their their cap

548
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 7: and who they've added, some younger pieces they were they

549
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 7: were willing to.

550
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 6: Make the move.

551
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 7: And he adds again another dimension, another guy that's a

552
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 7: run after catch, you know, a big play potential guy.

553
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 8: How does that impact how you think about the first

554
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 8: round or even the second round. Maybe we're just being

555
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 8: a pick, but how you have to kind of change

556
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 8: your philosophy only having one first round in that picking

557
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 8: until a third rounder.

558
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we still have to just stack the board.

559
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 7: I know, I say all the time, we have to

560
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 7: stack the board and make sure we're we're trying to

561
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 7: take the best player. We we still have plenty of

562
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 7: you know, places that we can always look to get better,

563
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 7: whether it's a Day one starter or a guy that's

564
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 7: a top backup that can play a lot of roles

565
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 7: for us.

566
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean, you would you would love to

567
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 6: have all.

568
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 7: Your picks, but we just thought it was valuable enough

569
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 7: to do the two five swap for DJ and we

570
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 7: still have, you know, a number of picks and it's

571
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 7: very important that we hit on the obviously the first,

572
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 7: but the third, fourth, fifth, and beyond.

573
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 6: What are the.

574
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 9: Updates if any, on Josh's foot and where he is

575
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 9: in terms of the off season.

576
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, so he's foot is I don't want to say

577
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 7: it's one hundred percent to him, but he's he's good.

578
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,479
Speaker 7: We expect him to be when he gets back in April.

579
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: We expect him to be full go. How do you

580
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 6: check in with him on that?

581
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 9: In terms of medically, do you have a doctor out

582
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 9: in California or I mean, what's the logistics of just checking.

583
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 6: Up on him.

584
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 7: So our our medical team has checked up on him,

585
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 7: and and he's talked to the surgeon that's done it,

586
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 7: and so they've I don't know every single conversation they've had,

587
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 7: but you know, Nate Breskian team and less Bisan, I've

588
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 7: let us know he he's on track and and and

589
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 7: should be ready to roll once we're once we're actually

590
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 7: doing football stuff here in April.

591
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 9: Can you elaborate on that just timeline wise, like when

592
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 9: like full go for I think he'll.

593
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 6: Be full full go for a volunteer. I don't.

594
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 7: I don't think there's I'm not I'm not aware of anything.

595
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 4: He'll be limited, gotcha that standpoint.

596
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 6: I know you probably still working through your board.

597
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: What the DJ Moore trade happens.

598
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 5: What does that mean for that room and potentially adding

599
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 5: maybe a wide receiver even in twenty six Does that

600
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 5: change anything or are you still open to that if that's.

601
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 4: The best player.

602
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 7: It's definitely still open to that, Like we really we're

603
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 7: looking at it as you got DJ, you got Khalil,

604
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 7: you got Palmer, you got key On obviously Shaver's injury

605
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 7: situation we got Mkole Hardman, We got you know a

606
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 7: number of guys that will be.

607
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 6: In there competing.

608
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 7: All those guys that I just went through kind of

609
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 7: have different skill sets. Some are kind of one position,

610
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 7: some are outside, some are inside. Just what's another piece?

611
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 7: If there's a guy we think that's another piece? You

612
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 7: could also does the guy do anything extra other receiver?

613
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 7: Is he is he a gun or is he a

614
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 7: punt returner? Like all those conversations, you know, how does

615
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 7: he get the game day? How does he help us?

616
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 7: Is he getting a jersey? Those be the conversations. But yes,

617
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 7: if there's a dynamic player that can help us starter

618
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 7: or not at receiver, we.

619
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: Would take them.

620
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 7: You know, at twenty six, Rebell think you are at

621
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 7: the linebacker position, especially transitioning into Jim Leonard's style. But yeah,

622
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 7: I mean we've got some players that you know, we've

623
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 7: talked about how they'll fit in this in this new

624
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 7: scheme with Jim and but we do need, we do

625
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 7: need to continue to add more. We've had conversations you know,

626
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 7: through free agency with linebacker's other positions. We have not

627
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 7: chosen to add one at this point. But there's also

628
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 7: you know, at this time, John, there's guys that are like,

629
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 7: you know what I didn't get, maybe the money I was.

630
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 6: Looking for, whatever.

631
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 7: I kind of want to wait till after the draft

632
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 7: and see where guys go. I don't want to sign

633
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 7: and somebody take one in the first round and now

634
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 7: I'm not sure my fit.

635
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 6: So you're kind of at that point with some of.

636
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 7: The vets that have played, they want to see, you know,

637
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 7: where teams go in the draft. So we could still

638
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 7: add someone between now and then, but I think depending

639
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 7: on how the draft goes, we could also add after.

640
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: Do you see the three guys you've said last week

641
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 4: getting in starting with Korb?

642
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, so as far as well O line, Uh so,

643
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 7: Corbett is he's kind of an interior guy. He's played

644
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 7: center and guard. He's played both. He's not just a

645
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 7: left or right. Obviously, our biggest hole, you know, losing

646
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 7: Dave Edwards is at left. So there'll be competition there

647
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 7: with Alec and him and and and we could have

648
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 7: other guys as well. But he's he's a proven starter.

649
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 7: I think we were able to get him. He's had

650
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 7: a couple of durability things and so but well regarded brings, leadership, intelligence, to.

651
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 6: The room and and he'll be in the mix for

652
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 6: you know.

653
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 7: For obviously that probably the shortest path of being a

654
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 7: starter would be to win the left guard, but he

655
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 7: can play center for us as well.

656
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 6: Cushion Berry probably a center first.

657
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 7: You know, he's he could probably play outs, I mean

658
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 7: guard as well.

659
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 6: We'll give him reps there. But I would say.

660
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 7: Competing to be that top back up behind Connor and

661
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 7: then who else Srefield? So Trent was obviously here a

662
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 7: couple of years back, is going on. Trent's a guy,

663
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 7: kind of a do it all kind of what I

664
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 7: just said, a guy that can play outside, play inside,

665
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 7: adds to the special teams as well, proven that smart guy.

666
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 7: Just another guy to add to the competition to the

667
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 7: room as we kind of build this roster up.

668
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: To ninety if the value doesn't make sense in the

669
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 4: draft of receiver as Brandon Hook somebody that you may

670
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 4: circle back on or you kept in contact with.

671
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 6: Have had conversations not only with his agent but with.

672
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 7: Him as well, and really loved what he did for

673
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 7: us at the end of the season last year. And

674
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 7: I think kind of what I said, seeing how the

675
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 7: draft falls, seeing what our numbers are and I think

676
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 7: that's kind of where he's at to making sure he

677
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 7: doesn't go somewhere and a team draft someone high sign.

678
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: Signed three safeties so far, CJ. You know in DeMar

679
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: is what's your evaluation of where that.

680
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 4: Position groups at?

681
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean again, you never know how it's going

682
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 7: to fall. John brought up linebacker. We didn't add one there,

683
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 7: but you we didn't go in and say we planned

684
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 7: to add three safeties. But you're always looking for competition, versatility,

685
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 7: what what guys can can bring different elements. You know,

686
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 7: obviously we talked about CJ before, but Gino is a

687
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 7: guy I don't know if we've talked about since since.

688
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 6: We signed him.

689
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 7: Gino is a proven starter in the league, got a

690
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 7: free agent deal a few years back and has played

691
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 7: in the AFC, so we're very familiar with them. Very

692
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 7: good ball skills and instincts. Those are probably the top

693
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 7: two things. I think the thing that probably was a

694
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 7: little bit of his downfall last year just had some

695
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 7: some tackling things. We talked about that, and I don't

696
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 7: think it's want to I think it's more it's just

697
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 7: some technique things that that we can work on and

698
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 7: clean up but adds another proven player in there and

699
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 7: then getting Tomor back.

700
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 6: Obviously, everyone here knows DeMar very well, and.

701
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 7: He had the unfortunate injury and practice last year, which

702
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 7: you know, which stunk for him and for us, but

703
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 7: kind of a he's healthy raider role, good reset, and

704
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 7: he knows our building new defense.

705
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 6: But you know, he's a smart guy.

706
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 7: He'll pick it up and and and he'll jump in

707
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 7: the competition as well.

708
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 8: Why I still playing on picking up a K fifty

709
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 8: option or at least turning that way.

710
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 7: Yes, we actually turned that in, so we have notified

711
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 7: him and his agent that that we've picked that up,

712
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 7: so that.

713
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 6: Secures him for the next two seasons.

714
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 9: Okay, Why why has Gardner Johnson been on five teams

715
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 9: in a year?

716
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think he's a competitive dude.

717
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 7: He's he's a player that I don't think he hides

718
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 7: his emotions. I think he's you know, you were looking

719
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 7: for competitive guys and we talked about you know, I

720
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 7: thought he was pretty honest him with when he came in.

721
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 6: We this is a guy.

722
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 7: You want to ask him like, you don't just want

723
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 7: to agree on the phone and say we're gonna take

724
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 7: your story.

725
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 6: Let's let's walk through it.

726
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 7: I think one of the things that helped us Tim

727
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 7: was we had some guys on staff that have been

728
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 7: around him in New Orleans and Craig Robertson, who was

729
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 7: playing at the time when he was drafted, was kind of.

730
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 6: His big brother. And Craig's on staff.

731
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 7: And has stayed in contact with him, you know, vouched

732
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 7: for him. We obviously made calls, and I.

733
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 6: Think he was honest. He said he knew, you know,

734
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 6: there's some things he could have done, you.

735
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 7: Know, differently, and has learned and.

736
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 6: Matured some of that edge you want. You know.

737
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 7: One of the guys I talked about when we signed

738
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 7: him was I was around a guy like Steve Smith

739
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 7: who brought an edge, and you just want to make

740
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 7: sure they know where the boundaries are and that it

741
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 7: doesn't take away from the team.

742
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 6: But love is competitive.

743
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 7: The guy takes the ball away, the guy brings an

744
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 7: edge to your defense. And that was one of the

745
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 7: things that we talked about, how do we add you know,

746
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 7: some more edge to this group?

747
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 3: Can all right?

748
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 5: So that's Brandon being addressing the meat at the owner's

749
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 5: meetings in Arizona. So you heard the other news that

750
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 5: we did not mention as of yet, but they sent

751
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 5: in the paperwork to pick up the fifty year option

752
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 5: on tight end Dalton Kincaid, So for all intents and purposes,

753
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 5: short of a contract extension, he will be under contract

754
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 5: this year and under contract next year for the fifth

755
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 5: year option, unless they sign him to a contract extension sooner.

756
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 5: Regarding Kincaid, being said that if you remember, because last

757
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 5: year in the offseason there were the head coach and

758
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 5: the GM both said that Kincaid had to get stronger

759
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 5: to get through a seventeen game season more effectively. In

760
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, he did miss time because of his

761
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 5: PCL knee injury, which kind of compromised things, but he

762
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 5: did feel that Kincaid was stronger and came through the

763
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 5: season better overall, even though the knee was bothersome and

764
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 5: they had to devise a plan mid season to make

765
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 5: it work and get him to each game as healthy

766
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 5: as possibly. He missed a lot of practice time, even

767
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 5: missed some games because of it.

768
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: That's been the only downside of Kincaid's career so far,

769
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: as is you know, inability to stay completely healthy. When

770
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 4: he's completely healthy, he's a force he changes a lot

771
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: of things for this offense, and unfortunately he dragged it

772
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 4: around last year again. So we'll see if a full

773
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 4: off season of rehab, of rest and whatever else they

774
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 4: need to do gives him the ability to stay in

775
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 4: one piece. I yeah, that would, and you know he'll

776
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 4: be highly motivated to do that. Of course, we'll see.

777
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: It's it's not. I don't know. You always from the

778
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 4: outside looking in, you always look at it as though, Wow,

779
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 4: for all of us out here, it's like, oh, just

780
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 4: get it fixed, right, get get it fixed. Well, sometimes

781
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 4: it's better.

782
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 5: Not to right, And you and I had the opportunity

783
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 5: to talk to him earlier this offseason and he went

784
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 5: to get second opinions, third opinions to see if see

785
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 5: what the best option was in those you know, physicians' opinions,

786
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 5: and no one told him he should get surgery. So

787
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 5: after two and three opinions, he decided, we're going to

788
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 5: come up with a plan to get this knee as

789
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 5: structurally sound and healthy as and strong as possible and

790
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 5: go that way. So hopefully the problem doesn't resurface again

791
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 5: this year. They tend to think with the plan they

792
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 5: have in place, it will not, so hoping the best

793
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 5: for Dalton and Kye because as we know, he's an

794
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 5: instrumental part of the passing game his.

795
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 4: Fifth year picked up. Yeah, I mean, that's that's a

796
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: good thing.

797
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 5: So that's why our question to you today. You heard

798
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 5: Brandon Bean say we're still open to taking a receiver

799
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 5: at twenty six, even though we had made the more

800
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 5: acquisition and gave up a second round pick to do it,

801
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 5: said they'd still be open.

802
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 3: How would you feel if the Bills took a first

803
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 3: round wide receiver at twenty six?

804
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 6: You let us know.

805
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 3: I had one Bills live on Twitter.

806
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 4: Here's where I wanted to caution all of our listeners

807
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 4: because Brown and I had this conversation last week. The

808
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 4: position is what we're asking about now. Certainly it's going

809
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 4: to be a one in a million, not a million,

810
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 4: but a one on fifteen shot at them picking the

811
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 4: exact guy you like as a fan, right, because they've

812
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: got their own people, and whoever they pick, they're gonna

813
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 4: like as much as you like the guy they do.

814
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 4: But if the receiver is the thing, what do you think?

815
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 4: I mean? I I'm at this point, I'm okay with it.

816
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 4: I like where their offensive side of the ball is now.

817
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: I thought it was the one where it lead. It

818
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 4: needed less attention than the defensive side of the ball,

819
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 4: and I still feel that way. But if there's a

820
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 4: guy out there that they really really got to have,

821
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 4: or a guy who out there who fell to them,

822
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: or they they feel like nobody knows about whatever, if

823
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 4: they have that strong opinion about a wide receiver, yeah,

824
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 4: I'm absolutely up for it. I think it's fine. But

825
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 4: I would caution everybody out there if they don't pick

826
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 4: your wide receiver from your team, don't get worried about

827
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 4: it because they like this guy better. It's just it's

828
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 4: an opinion based evaluation process. It that's it.

829
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 3: Gotta take a break here.

830
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 5: There are some other tidbits we will share with you,

831
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 5: including some light being shed on the future of Connor

832
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 5: McGovern with the Bills and where he will be lining up,

833
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 5: especially in the wake of two veteran free agent O

834
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 5: line signings last week and why they signed CJ. Gardner

835
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 5: Johnson Brandon Bean shed some light on that as well.

836
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 5: We'll tell you about that next here on One Bill's Live.

837
00:42:45,880 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 3: Stay with us. Here on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown.

838
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 5: Steve Tasker with you as we told you before the break,

839
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 5: there are a couple other developments concerning Brandon Bean's comments

840
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 5: at the owner's meetings today. If you missed his comments

841
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 5: that we just aired for you here, you can check

842
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 5: back after the show rerecks on Buffalo bills dot com

843
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 5: where we'll have the audio only version where you can

844
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 5: just go to Buffalo Bills dot com and listen to

845
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 5: his press conference start to finish.

846
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: But he did address a couple of other things.

847
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 5: One, they have been in contact with free agent wide

848
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 5: receiver Brandon Cooks, who as we know, joined the team

849
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 5: after he was signed off waivers late last season. Said

850
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 5: that they've had conversations and being made it sound Steve

851
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 5: that if it does become an imminent thing where he

852
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 5: could sign, it sounds like something they would explore post draft.

853
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 5: It's kind of like, well, let's see what we acquire

854
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 5: in the draft, and you know, if seven picks come

855
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 5: and go and they haven't added a receiver, well then

856
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 5: I think Cooks becomes a more likely possibility.

857
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's on Cook's side too, And correct, these guys,

858
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 4: Cooks is over there going listen. I'm not going to

859
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: Buffalo and then have them pick a guy at twenty

860
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 4: six after just trying to DJ Moore, I'm gonna be

861
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. He wants to go someplace

862
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 4: where they got they don't have anybody, so he's gonna

863
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 4: wait and see. It's kind of and he's at the

864
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 4: same probably in the same frame of mind as a

865
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 4: lot of veteran free agents out there. They're going to

866
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 4: go to where the where the best opportunity to get

867
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 4: on the field is right.

868
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 5: Although I do know that Brandon Cooks really liked the

869
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 5: atmosphere here, the locker room. So I mean you saw,

870
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: for a guy that was only here for about six weeks,

871
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 5: he was one of the handful of guys that was

872
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 5: inconsolable and distraught after the loss to Denver last year

873
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 5: in the Divisional playoff. So I thought that said a

874
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 5: lot about how quickly he assimilated and bought into what

875
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 5: was being done here.

876
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 3: The CJ.

877
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 5: Gardner Johnson signing was obviously one of interest, not only

878
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 5: because of his talents and being a Super Bowl champion,

879
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 5: but also because he has played on four different teams

880
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 5: the last four years and he does have a reputation, whether.

881
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: It's right or wrong.

882
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 5: It's hard for us to make that determination that he

883
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 5: wears at is welcome. I thought that Brandon Bean took

884
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 5: an interesting approach to that signing, saying CJ. Gardner plays

885
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 5: with an edge, and we need to add more players

886
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 5: with an edge. He was then asked to elaborate on

887
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 5: what an edge is and he said, well, as it

888
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 5: pertains to Gardner Johnson, he's a guy who will trash

889
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 5: talk you. He's a guy that will raise the level

890
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 5: of competition in practice, so as long as he doesn't

891
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 5: go over that line. It sounds like there was a

892
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 5: measured effort this offseason to add at least a couple

893
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 5: of players of this ilk to the roster. They felt

894
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 5: they needed more players like that, and you and I

895
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 5: have talked about this extensively.

896
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need some guys. Last year after he signed

897
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 4: his extension, Christian Benford was kind of in training camp.

898
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: He you could tell it was before they signed Trey

899
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 4: all of that. You could tell he stepped up to

900
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 4: the plate and Christian Benford was the alpha male in

901
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 4: the dB room and he was more vocal, particularly on

902
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 4: the practice field. Now on the on the field, I

903
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 4: can't speak to that, but you do need guys on

904
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 4: your football team that play aggressive and angry. That's just

905
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 4: that you just do. It's a it's a big, hard,

906
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 4: physical game played by big, mean guys who play for keeps,

907
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 4: and you gotta be mean. I mean that just thought.

908
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 4: Give you some guys to be mean, and I don't

909
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: know that at times there were enough of those guys

910
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 4: on the field. I've always been a big not a

911
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 4: big proponent, and I know those two you can't go

912
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 4: that too far the other way. I mean, you can't

913
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 4: be the you back in nineteen eighties. You know, you

914
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 4: can't be like that. But you need a handful of

915
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 4: guys who you just hope show up on time because

916
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 4: if they do, you got a chance. They need to

917
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 4: be And here's the thing. It needs to be two sided.

918
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 4: It can't be just a guy who goes out there

919
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 4: angry and you know, taking a penal.

920
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 6: Here.

921
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 4: He's got to be a really good player. The better

922
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 4: player he is, the more he plays like and the

923
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 4: more he plays like that, the more he elevates the

924
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 4: guys around him. He's a really good player, man that

925
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 4: he really You got to set the temperature in the

926
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 4: room and those guys do it. You need a couple

927
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 4: of those guys more than a couple. It's got to

928
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 4: be part of your personality as a football team if

929
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: you really want to be a team that is no

930
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 4: fun to play against. I'm you know, the Bills have

931
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 4: always been you know, they're you know, Josh and this

932
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 4: crew on the offense, there's you know, they're running around,

933
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 4: they're scoring points, they're hard, they are a handful. But

934
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 4: the other you know, you need guys that play angry,

935
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 4: play aggressive and on the edge with some chip, some

936
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 4: guys that you know, a little push at push and

937
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 4: shove after the play, making the officials think about throwing

938
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,479
Speaker 4: the flag but don't, and making the other team think about,

939
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 4: am I gonna get whacked here in this game? Am

940
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 4: I gonna? Am I gonna get you know, hit in

941
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 4: this You know, you gotta make teams be distracted by

942
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 4: the fact that guys out there, those guys are invaluable

943
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 4: because so many guys on the team, particularly on the

944
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 4: offensive side. So many of these guys out there are thinkers,

945
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 4: and they got so much to think. Like a quarterback.

946
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 4: Quarterback can't be that guy's got he's running an intellectual

947
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 4: process out there as long along with a physical game.

948
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 4: He can't take the time out to you know, you know,

949
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 4: like Josh doesn't want to get into a push and

950
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 4: shove right, you've seen it. Joshuall start it, but he

951
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 4: walks away and lets the offensive line take over.

952
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 6: That.

953
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 4: You know, they got too much to think about. But

954
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 4: that's what CJ. Gardner Johnson can do. The better player

955
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 4: he is, obviously, the better it is for you. But

956
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 4: if he's that kind of edgy, chippy, aggressive, angry guy,

957
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 4: even better because other guys jump on board with that.

958
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 4: It's better. It's easier to jump on that train than

959
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 4: to be the engineer.

960
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 5: I mean, we kind of said at the beginning of

961
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 5: the offseason two things that the Bills need to add

962
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 5: players with an edge in an attitude and speed.

963
00:49:55,120 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 3: They need more team speed. So they added some edge.

964
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 5: Let's see if they add some more, be it in

965
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 5: the draft or later in free agency post draft, and

966
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 5: let's see how much more speed they can add to

967
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 5: the roster as well, which usually is in the form

968
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 5: of youth. We'll take a break here, but we're wide

969
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 5: open for your comments. The Bill's draft or receiver at

970
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 5: twenty six, how's that gonna grab you? You let us

971
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 5: know at one Bill's live on Twitter and we'll get

972
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 5: to those comments next.

973
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 3: Here on One Bill's Live.

974
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: Louck up boys were don't do what today's work.

975
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 2: He is a feast for the Capitol fime. The cook

976
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: is in the kitchen, looks.

977
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: Down the sideline. He's got kickade for.

978
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: A twenty three yard touchdown and it's intercepted.

979
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 3: Jumping over the air is Bedford.

980
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 4: This this One Bill's Live, presented by called lighta Health.

981
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 5: All Right, Welcome to hour number two on a Monday,

982
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 5: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker One Bill's Live Owners Meetings in

983
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 5: full swing down in Arizona. Brandon Bean addressed the media

984
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 5: earlier today. We had full coverage of that for you

985
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 5: here on the show. If you missed it, you can

986
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 5: check back on Buffalo bills dot com see that interview

987
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 5: in full.

988
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 3: And the question of the day for you, how would

989
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: you feel if the Bills took.

990
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 5: A wide receiver in round one? Brandon Bean was asked

991
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 5: about the possibility of still taking a wide out in

992
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 5: the draft, most notably had picked twenty six in light

993
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 5: of the fact that they acquired a guy that goes

994
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 5: at the top of the pecking order at the position

995
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 5: in DJ Moore via trade and gave up a second

996
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 5: round pick to do so, and Brandon Bean said he

997
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 5: would not close the door on taking a receiver at

998
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 5: twenty six. Just to elaborate little bit on what his

999
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 5: comments were, he basically said, we're still open to adding

1000
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 5: wide receiver help if there's a dynamic player there that

1001
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 5: can help us. So he's not closing the door on

1002
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 5: that possibility. Steve and I were talking about it in

1003
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 5: the last hour. I mean, if you want to add

1004
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 5: anywhere on the offensive side of the ball, receiver is

1005
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 5: probably the only place where you could conceivably say, yeah,

1006
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 5: they could use an extra piece there. Offensive line is

1007
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 5: chock full of depth, especially after adding the two veteran

1008
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 5: free agents. Running Back is a set position with the

1009
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 5: same three guys under contract Frank Gore on your practice

1010
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 5: squad tight end is locked in along with Collecti Latu

1011
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,760
Speaker 5: as your fourth tight end who was on the practice

1012
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 5: squad last year got called up for some games. So

1013
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 5: and quarterback you got your backup in Kyle Allen back

1014
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 5: for a second stint. So I mean, short of perhaps

1015
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 5: adding a full back if they even feel they need one.

1016
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 5: Wide receivers probably the only part offense I.

1017
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 4: Drifted fullback after the fifth round or later. But you're

1018
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 4: right the wide receiver room, particularly given what happened last year.

1019
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 4: I thought when the season started last year, they were

1020
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 4: better than they were two years ago in my mind,

1021
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 4: the roster more proven more. But then this guy's down,

1022
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 4: that guy's down, this guy's back sort of, now that

1023
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 4: guy's down. Now they're in and out. Now they signed

1024
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 4: another guy so he could come in and give us

1025
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 4: some out and then the other guy's down. I mean,

1026
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 4: it was a There was like twenty guys who were

1027
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 4: taking reps at wide out during the season last year.

1028
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 4: So let's not go through that again. Yeah, I mean,

1029
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 4: I you know it's common now to have six guys

1030
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 4: active on the wide receiver at the wide receiver spot

1031
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 4: on game day. I don't have a problem with that

1032
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 4: and go seven if you need to. You gotta have

1033
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 4: guys who can play, and they got to have they

1034
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 4: gotta have reps. They got to be ready to go

1035
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 4: and get them in now and and at least the

1036
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 4: top eight guys in training camp through the preseason, they've

1037
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 4: got to be cycled through so they are on it.

1038
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 4: They're PhDs in the offense by the time the regular

1039
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 4: season kicks off. They know what they're doing. They know

1040
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 4: all the ramifications, they know the evolution of how the

1041
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 4: offense got to where it is. They know what Josh wants,

1042
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 4: they know what Josh how Josh thinks. They know how

1043
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 4: to They know what to do when the play breaks down,

1044
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 4: they know what to do when Josh decides the play

1045
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 4: should break down. They just they're there and they're ready,

1046
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 4: and it comes down to Gosh, who's going to be

1047
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 4: active this week? And that's that's it. You need guys

1048
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 4: that can line up for seventeen games. You know, none

1049
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 4: of this that was a problem last year. He's out

1050
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 4: five games. This guy's out six games. This guy just

1051
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 4: showed up.

1052
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 5: And if you don't have depth, where are you know?

1053
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 5: Where the offense was in the second half.

1054
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 4: Of the season, Jo and joh and I hear this

1055
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 4: a lot on social people chiming in on our show

1056
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 4: and and other platforms as well, where they say, well,

1057
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 4: you know, you can't ask that much of Josh. You know, listen,

1058
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 4: Josh is gonna play the way Josh plays. Don't worry

1059
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 4: about Josh getting blown up. I mean his foot last year,

1060
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 4: his finger the year before that is Obo and you

1061
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 4: know all that Josh is gonna play football the way

1062
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 4: Josh plays football. When Josh needs to change, Believe me,

1063
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 4: Josh is smart enough to understand why, when, how, and

1064
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 4: where it's gonna happen, he'll do it. He will evolve

1065
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 4: himself because they're on that. Don't worry about taking stuff

1066
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 4: off Josh, Josh. If Josh wants it off his plate,

1067
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 4: he'll tell them. If they want it off his plate,

1068
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 4: they'll take it. Don't worry about any of that stuff, Josh.

1069
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 4: They want Josh to play in a way that's comfortable

1070
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 4: for him, and they'll do it. So you need the

1071
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 4: stuff around him to be everything he needs because, quite frankly,

1072
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 4: last year he played the way he did because he

1073
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 4: didn't know if everything around him was what he needed.

1074
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 4: Even if it was at times, it was an experiment

1075
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 4: for a lot of last year years regular season. When

1076
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 4: I go back and I was back there this today

1077
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 4: and looked at the Cincinnati game here when they beat

1078
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 4: him by twelve, they were down ten in the fourth quarter,

1079
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 4: scored three straight touchdowns. Remember that's the Christian Benford catch

1080
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 4: out of Joe Burrow's hand. The next offensive played for Cincinnati,

1081
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 4: Jordan Phillips tips it a Jepanesse picks it off. They

1082
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 4: go from being ten down in the fourth quarter five

1083
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 4: minutes left to.

1084
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 3: Going up eleven and they win by five.

1085
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 4: They win by five, and they scored forty two points

1086
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 4: to win by five. So you don't need you know,

1087
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 4: that's that's tough. So just my thing is, give Josh Wooden.

1088
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 4: Don't worry about how Josh plays it. He's gonna play

1089
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 4: the way he plays, and he's smart enough and self

1090
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 4: wor enough if he needs to change or alterate, he will,

1091
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 4: you know. I think that's that's a little bit what

1092
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 4: happened in Denver last year in the postseason. He didn't

1093
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 4: know he had to. He felt like he had to

1094
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 4: shoulder it and put the shoulder straps on and carry

1095
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 4: the whole thing, and it got him into trouble.

1096
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 5: How would you feel if the Bills took a first

1097
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 5: round wide receiver? Brandon Bean did not rule it out

1098
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 5: despite making the acquisition of DJ Moore via trade. So

1099
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 5: where do you come down on that? At One Bill's

1100
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 5: Live is where you can comment. We also want to

1101
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 5: welcome back those of you that were listening on the app.

1102
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 5: There was an outage with some technical difficulties, but the

1103
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 5: app is back up and running, so hopefully you've been

1104
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 5: able to rejoin us. But leading us off today on

1105
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 5: the tweetsheet is Kareem, who, in response to how would

1106
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 5: you feel if the Bills took a first round wide receiver,

1107
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 5: said please just do it. I will not complain if

1108
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 5: it doesn't work out. I don't know if I believe,

1109
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 5: I don't believe.

1110
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 4: I don't believe.

1111
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 3: I feel like this is where a lot of Bills

1112
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: fans are.

1113
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 5: They really feel like the team needs another young receiver

1114
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 5: in the pipeline to provide the requisite depth so if

1115
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 5: there are injuries like we saw last year, that they

1116
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 5: have enough horses to still run with.

1117
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 4: My problem is I don't want depth. They don't want death.

1118
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 3: Well, if you're taking one in the first round, he

1119
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 3: better not be a depthe.

1120
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 4: If you take a guy at twenty six and he's

1121
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 4: a depth piece, you've whipped so you can't. I don't

1122
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 4: need any more depth either. Get me an a one

1123
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 4: guy and I don't know. I've told you that Brownie knows.

1124
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 4: I don't care if they get it. No, they don't

1125
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 4: need one. They're scoring twenty eight points a game. Scoring

1126
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 4: points for this team is not the problem. In fact,

1127
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 4: they scored points last year and led the league in rushing.

1128
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 4: They they are an absolute wagon offensively. Most of me, Brownie,

1129
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 4: and most of our listeners could take up a roster

1130
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 4: spot on the offensive side of the ball, sit on

1131
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 4: the bench for eighteen weeks and nobody would. They'd still

1132
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 4: score twenty eight and a half a game with me

1133
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 4: and him on the rock, me or him not, maybe

1134
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 4: both of us, one of us on the cross fair

1135
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 4: and you out there. You, you could sit on the

1136
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 4: bench for this team offensively and they'd score twenty eight

1137
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 4: and a half a point. That's so I don't you know,

1138
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 4: I don't really think they need that wide receiver. But

1139
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 4: if there's a guy, a wide receiver out there who's

1140
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 4: gonna help us more than a stand up off the

1141
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 4: ball middle linebacker, fine, or a defensive end at twenty

1142
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 4: six over fine, Well that's and that's the thing.

1143
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 5: I think that's part of the reason that Brandon Bean

1144
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 5: has to keep the door open for that possibility, because

1145
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 5: in the grand scheme of things, you don't rule out

1146
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 5: what is universally deemed a premium position in round one

1147
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 5: for any reason.

1148
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 4: I get it.

1149
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 5: Quarterback, wide receiver, corner, rusher corner.

1150
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 4: You know those.

1151
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 3: Don't rule them out ever in round one.

1152
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 4: The only way you go off that those positions that Brownie,

1153
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 4: just a quarterback, d end, wide receiver, corner. The only

1154
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 4: reason you go outside that is if there's a Troy

1155
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 4: Polamalu on the board right, or a or Ray Lewis,

1156
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 4: if you've got a guy like that out there, or

1157
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 4: you know Jonathan Ogden, you know Lane Johnson, if one

1158
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 4: of those guys out there, yeah, okay, take the guy,

1159
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 4: take the guard. But those they're not gonna be the

1160
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 4: word of that.

1161
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 3: Teams usually gravitate to the.

1162
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 4: Grab a money spot, grab a money spot. So that

1163
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 4: and that's that's why the wide receiver is in the mix.

1164
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 4: And for the reasons also Brownie said, don't forget the

1165
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 4: head coach of the Buffalo Bills is an offense now,

1166
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 4: he's an offensive coordinator. Those guys tend tend to take

1167
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 4: the cherries off the cake. And if there's a guy

1168
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 4: there I'm putting and he's taking that cherry off and

1169
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 4: he's putting it on the top of the offense cake

1170
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 4: because that's what he knows.

1171
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 3: Kind of getting hungry with all these cake refits.

1172
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 4: I'm serious, right, we've seen it.

1173
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 5: Yep Seth on the tweets sheet says, I'd feel pretty

1174
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 5: good about that. Yeah, we need more guys to fill

1175
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 5: out the defense, but I think we're one playmaker away

1176
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 5: from being virtually unstoppable on offense, and that may be

1177
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 5: enough to win it all.

1178
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 3: And I think here's the rub.

1179
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 5: I think there's a vast swath of the fan base

1180
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 5: that sees this team unable to make a play at

1181
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 5: the end of the game on offense. Let's not forget

1182
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 5: two years ago against the Chiefs, they had multiple possessions

1183
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 5: to try to win the football game and could not execute.

1184
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 5: Last year against the Broncos, call it a catcher not

1185
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 5: in the end, could not execute to get in position

1186
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:56,959
Speaker 5: to kick a winning field goal and win the game.

1187
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 5: And even before that, you know the divisional playoff against

1188
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 5: the Chiefs, the balls in lined up in the player's

1189
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 5: hands on a perfectly thrown ball and he can't come

1190
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 5: up with it.

1191
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

1192
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 5: Maybe I think there's a contingent of Bills fans that

1193
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 5: are convinced if we just have too many weapons on offense,

1194
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 5: they can't stop all of them all the time. I

1195
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 5: don't know if that is foolhardy to think that way,

1196
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 5: because a lot of the Super Bowl champs have pretty

1197
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 5: damn good defenses, also, Seattle being the latest example. I mean,

1198
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 5: you can argue their defense was better than their offense.

1199
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 3: It's funny.

1200
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 5: Steve and I were talking about this last week and

1201
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 5: I tried to come up with an example of a

1202
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 5: lights out offense that just won the Super Bowl. Defense

1203
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 5: be damned, and I suggested the nineteen ninety nine Saint

1204
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 5: Louis Rams Greatest Show on turf.

1205
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 3: Steve looked it up.

1206
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 5: Their defense was number one in the league, number four

1207
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 5: in takeaways. I think they were top five against the run,

1208
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 5: which you would expect because the other team is throwing

1209
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 5: the ball because they're behind on the scoreboards real much

1210
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 5: five times a game again, and they're also putting the

1211
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 5: ball at risk, which explains the takeaways.

1212
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 3: But it had a damn good defense.

1213
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 4: So here's the problem for all of it, and me too,

1214
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 4: I'm the same guy. Fans know, you feel like you

1215
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 4: know offense, Just throw the football and whatever, Just make

1216
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 4: some plays, do the creative stuff, the fun stuff. You motion,

1217
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 4: you shift, you spread them out, go five wide, you

1218
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 4: go three tight ends. All of that stuff fans kind

1219
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 4: of like to lean into. That defense is is some esoteric,

1220
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 4: secretive language that nobody really understands. The safeties and the

1221
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 4: zone blitzes and stuff. Nobody understands how to do you know,

1222
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 4: you know, to line up here and go to the underfront,

1223
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 4: go to a fifty front stead of a forty front,

1224
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 4: and you know, drop the end. All that stuff. It's

1225
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 4: hard to see that stuff because the ball's never there, right,

1226
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 4: you're watching the ball most of us, So we tend

1227
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 4: to focus on the offense. And if the defense does something,

1228
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,919
Speaker 4: it's a guy making a play. It's not scheme, it's

1229
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 4: not all of that. All of that stuff. We talk

1230
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 4: a lot about how the defensive coordinator last year, Bobby

1231
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 4: Babbage and McDermott, all the sacks the Bills got were

1232
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 4: coordinator sacks because they had to scheme it up, had

1233
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 4: a guy running free on the quarterback, or do it unexpected.

1234
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 4: I was watching that Cincinnati game today. Christian Benford flies

1235
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 4: in off the edge unexpectedly, Joe Burrow panics, throws it

1236
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 4: right at it. Yeah, that's a coordinator sack now, certainly,

1237
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 4: Benford I mean, he made unbelievable play on it, but

1238
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 4: that's it. You made the other team panic. All that's

1239
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 4: hard to get your mind around as a fan on

1240
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 4: the defensive side, So we always tend to lean into

1241
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 4: the offense. And that Cincinnati team that I talked about,

1242
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 4: they did exactly what Bills fans are thinking the Bills

1243
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 4: should do.

1244
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and people gravitating to offense has only been exacerbated

1245
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 5: by fantasy football, where people more often than not are

1246
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 5: paying attention to those players more every given week because

1247
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 5: of that very recent they're a fantasy football player, they're

1248
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 5: gravitating towards the offensive players to see how they're performing.

1249
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, there are.

1250
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 5: Multitude of reasons why people gravitate toward offense. That's where

1251
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 5: the ball is, you're following the ball. As Steve said,

1252
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 5: fantasy football contributes to that.

1253
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a whole thing you need.

1254
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 4: And how all the stuff Brownie just said, there's always

1255
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 4: the other side of that coin that we never talk about, right,

1256
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 4: you know, we all those instances you said where the

1257
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 4: Bills couldn't execute offensively, there's a lot of be said

1258
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 4: that they should never have been put in that position

1259
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 4: because they they had to score again, right, they still

1260
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 4: had to score again and again and again and again.

1261
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 4: It never stops because you couldn't get it because this

1262
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 4: team was third and fourteen. If people would just go

1263
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 4: get a beer because they knew it was going to

1264
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 4: be converted against our defense, third and nine, Yeah it's

1265
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 4: a conversion. Third and eight, Yeah, we're gonna give that

1266
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 4: one up. It was maddening to watch this team not

1267
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 4: be able to get off the field after first and

1268
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,959
Speaker 4: second down. So if they would have been better there,

1269
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 4: maybe the offense, that's the best way to take the

1270
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 4: pressure off of Josh Allen, if that's what you're into now.

1271
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 5: Glitchy on the tweet sheet concerning a first round wide receiver,

1272
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 5: if the Bills made that happen, said, Yo, a first

1273
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 5: round wide receiver would be hype for real. Okay, Glitchy,

1274
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 5: what do you tell us? I'll just say this the

1275
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 5: way it's the way it appears to be headed, at

1276
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 5: least right now, based on what they've done in free agency,

1277
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 5: knowing what the premium positions are and knowing the depth

1278
01:06:54,440 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 5: and value of those premium positions. I'm of the belief

1279
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 5: that the Bills, if they stay put, well, if the

1280
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 5: Bills are on the clock at twenty six, I think

1281
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 5: you're looking at an edge rusher, a wide receiver, or

1282
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 5: a trade down into the second round. The reason I

1283
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 5: say that is because they just use a first round

1284
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 5: pick on a corner last year. That's not to say

1285
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 5: they won't do that this year, but I think it's

1286
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 5: less likely because of that fact. They don't need any

1287
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 5: help on the offensive line. And really, there are better

1288
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 5: guards than tackles for the most part this year, and

1289
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 5: by the time you get to twenty six, it's going

1290
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 5: to be almost all guards, and they don't need a guard,

1291
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 5: and I don't think they're gonna feel the value is

1292
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 5: justified for a linebacker or a defensive tackle there. So

1293
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 5: that takes out two of the other major needs perceived

1294
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 5: need positions for the Bills, and so I think they

1295
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 5: stick to the premium positions and if the value is

1296
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 5: not there at those, they get out of there.

1297
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 4: Well at twenty six in the first round. Let's let's

1298
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 4: talk about the nuts and bolts of it for just

1299
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 4: a second. So here's what will happen. They're gonna come

1300
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 4: up with a big board. What by a big board

1301
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 4: for those of you who don't know it's all the

1302
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 4: draft prospects that they have ranked in order this.

1303
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 3: Day, by round, horizontally by position.

1304
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 4: Bye, yes, by by who's the best guy available. It

1305
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 4: would be this guy on our list, then the next guy,

1306
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 4: then the next guy, then the next guy in the

1307
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 4: next guy. There will be a line of demarcation on

1308
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 4: that board as to say, okay, we'll take any of

1309
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 4: these guys if he's there at twenty six, and this

1310
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 4: is the order in which we would take those guys.

1311
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 4: If this guy's available, he's the guy. If both of

1312
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 4: them are available, this guy's still the guy. But if

1313
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 4: he's not there, then it's this guy and this guy

1314
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 4: and this guy would be That's the way it works.

1315
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 4: So they've got that on on their board, the big

1316
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 4: board they're slotted. The question is, and this is why

1317
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 4: they guard these rooms. They onlybody known who they deem

1318
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 4: is worthy of the twenty sixth pick, and how many

1319
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 4: guys are there and what positions they play because somebody's

1320
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 4: gonna be there.

1321
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, are they good enough number one to merit

1322
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 5: that grade? And then number two? Do they fit the

1323
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 5: bills right? And if there's the older that's the other

1324
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 5: question that every team entertains, and that's why there are

1325
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 5: so many variables, because what fits the Bills may not.

1326
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 3: Fit the Browns.

1327
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 4: And the problem is this, there may not be that

1328
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 4: many guys on that list who they feel are worthy

1329
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 4: of the twenty sixth pick. When it gets to that

1330
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 4: point and their last guy has gone to pick twenty two,

1331
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean's on the phone, Get me out of here,

1332
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 4: get me to pick thirty seven, thirty two, forty one,

1333
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 4: Get me out of here. What do you got. He's

1334
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 4: trying to give up the pick for another pick. Now

1335
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 4: if he and he'll try, he may not be able

1336
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 4: to do it. And that's just it. Now, there you go.

1337
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 4: We got to pick a guy at twenty six we

1338
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 4: don't like at twenty six. We may like him, like him,

1339
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 4: but he's not worth a twenty six pick. We could

1340
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 4: have got him at ninety one, right, So that's that's

1341
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 4: our problem. I want you you need to know. If

1342
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 4: there aren't twenty six names on their list that are

1343
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 4: worth first round grades, there just aren't.

1344
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 3: Break time for us.

1345
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 5: Here more of your comments on how you'd feel if

1346
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,719
Speaker 5: the Bills took a first round wide receiver at.

1347
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 3: Pick twenty six.

1348
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 5: They're coming your way next here on One Bill's Life's Back.

1349
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 5: Here on One Bill's Live first Round, Steve tasking with

1350
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 5: you asking you how would a wide receiver pick at

1351
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 5: number twenty six grab you if the Bills in fact

1352
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 5: did that.

1353
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 3: Brandon, being at the owner's meetings.

1354
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 5: Today, said they're still open to adding wide receiver help

1355
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 5: if there's a dynamic player that can help them, including

1356
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 5: at pick twenty six. So we pose that question to you,

1357
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 5: and Kevin on the tweet sheet says the Bills are

1358
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 5: still very much scouring around the top wide receivers with

1359
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 5: their meetings and visits.

1360
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 3: I think it's at the top of the board in

1361
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 3: three weeks.

1362
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 5: Well, I think it'll be a consideration based on the

1363
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 5: value of the players that could be there.

1364
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 3: Is it at the top of the board, who knows.

1365
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 5: I think it's a consideration, and Brandon Bean pretty much acknowledged.

1366
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 4: That, yeah, it's gonna be considered. I do think it

1367
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 4: will be at one of those spots that we're talking about,

1368
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 4: those money spots, corner, wide out, defensive end. That's it.

1369
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 4: I think that's it. It may be. I mean, I

1370
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,759
Speaker 4: could see him taking a lineback or any defensive position.

1371
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you name it right, I could see that

1372
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 4: make an argument for it. You can make an argument

1373
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 4: for any of those guys, But often I think it

1374
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 4: has to start it wide out. I don't think there's

1375
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 4: any other unless he get a premier left tackle or

1376
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 4: you know, plug and play, plug and play offensive lineman.

1377
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 4: Maybe Okay, I just think man oh man.

1378
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 5: I think the only thing that when trump receiver there

1379
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:20,719
Speaker 5: is proper again proper value is a speed juice player

1380
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 5: off the edge.

1381
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 3: On defense, like, they still don't have a.

1382
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,879
Speaker 5: Speed rusher for their pass rush. They have power rushers.

1383
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,839
Speaker 5: Greg Russou is not a bend the edge speed rusher.

1384
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 5: Neither is Bradley Chubb. Michael Hoyt could be, but he's

1385
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 5: coming off an achilles injury and you don't know what

1386
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 5: that is or what it's going to look like or

1387
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 5: when it's going to be ready to play. So with

1388
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 5: that up in the air, I think it behooves you

1389
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 5: to consider adding a speed element to your pass rush.

1390
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 5: Not having speed was part of the reason they can't

1391
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 5: get off the feet on third and nine. Plus they're

1392
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 5: twenty fourth in the league and getting off the field

1393
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 5: on third down twenty ninth a year before, and they've

1394
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 5: been without a speed rusher the whole time.

1395
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:13,799
Speaker 4: They couldn't. They can't. They couldn't ever were enough hurry

1396
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 4: up the offensive decision made. They couldn't affect the quarterback

1397
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 4: on a play that took a long time to develop.

1398
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 4: In the passing game, they couldn't get enough pressure fast enough.

1399
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 5: The best speed rushers on the team were Dorian Williams

1400
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 5: and corners, because they didn't have anybody else in any

1401
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 5: of the other positions that fit the bill at least.

1402
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, they couldn't get there fast enough. Right now. They

1403
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 4: made some you know, they had some guys to their credit,

1404
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 4: the guys on the field were all top effort guys,

1405
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 4: you know, Rousseau and the guys they had around him,

1406
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 4: But they didn't have enough speed to get there fast

1407
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 4: enough to turn on the clock to get teams off

1408
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 4: the field. It was that when you're talking about the

1409
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 4: defensive play last year. That has got to be the

1410
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 4: number one problem that was as consistent from front to

1411
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,440
Speaker 4: back of that season as anything, is that their inability

1412
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 4: to stop a third down play. They could not get

1413
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 4: the ball back to Josh Allen the offense enough.

1414
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 5: And that was masked to some degree the year before

1415
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 5: by all the takeaways they had, they were near the

1416
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 5: top of the league in takeaways. Well, those takeaways were

1417
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 5: not as plentiful last year as they kind of drifted

1418
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 5: back to the mean and the defense was exposed that

1419
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 5: much more. Bill's banter on the tweet sheet says conceptsi

1420
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 5: on a twenty six would be great.

1421
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 3: Would be the best wide.

1422
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 5: Receiving corps Allen has had since the twenty twenty one season.

1423
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 3: That's when they had.

1424
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,799
Speaker 5: Emmanuel Sanders in the fold there along with Diggs Kincaid

1425
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 5: was a look he no, he wasn't here yet and

1426
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 5: you still had Beasley. So yeah, conceptsi own's an electrifying player.

1427
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any question about that. Does he

1428
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 5: get to twenty six, I think that's debatable.

1429
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 4: It's debatable he's not gonna make it a twenty six.

1430
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 3: Do you think he's gone before that? Yeah? Yeah, I

1431
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 3: think there's a decent chance that it could be the case.

1432
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 4: What happened, you know, when the early in these draft

1433
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 4: processes we start looking at players and getting names because

1434
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 4: nobody's heard of them. You think they're going to be

1435
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 4: under everybody else's radar just like they are yours, and

1436
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 4: they're not most of the clubs know these guys and

1437
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 4: they've got them pegged almost exactly where they're going to go.

1438
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 4: And none of these wide receivers you saw it, you know,

1439
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 4: in the year two years ago or three years ago

1440
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 4: when Brian Thomas Junior came out, and all these guys coming.

1441
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 4: They just never make it to the back end of

1442
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 4: the first round. And if they do, there's big reasons

1443
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 4: for it, and those become pretty evident, pretty clearly, pretty early.

1444
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 5: Andrew on the tweets sheet says, I don't think they

1445
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,679
Speaker 5: need to go after a wide receiver with a first pick,

1446
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 5: even though Coleman was the second round pick. He was

1447
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 5: our first pick and he hasn't really panned out. I'd

1448
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 5: rather get a need for our defense first, then think

1449
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 5: about why a wide receiver later, especially.

1450
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 3: When we have more already. And this is kind of

1451
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 3: the boat that I'm in.

1452
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm hoping there's value at edge rusher there at twenty six,

1453
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 5: preferably with a speed component to the skill set. And

1454
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 5: if that's the case, I'm scooping it up and I'll

1455
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 5: figure out wide receiver later in the draft, whether it's

1456
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 5: round three, round four, round five, I'll add there because

1457
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 5: I just think they so desperately need to get faster

1458
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 5: on defense.

1459
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 4: To me, that you're talking about faster upfront on defense,

1460
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 4: that supersede. Yeah, you need somebody.

1461
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 3: Supersedes everything else in my mind.

1462
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 5: So I'd be in client if that shows up, you know,

1463
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 5: whether it's like a cash as howl or an Armies

1464
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 5: and Thomas is still on the board at twenty six,

1465
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I'm running the cart up.

1466
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm with you. If there's a guy

1467
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 4: like that, It's been so long since the Bills have

1468
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 4: had a difference maker like that that. Yeah, I would.

1469
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 4: I would welcome that change on the roster.

1470
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,759
Speaker 5: Scott says could be talked into just about anything, depending

1471
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 5: on how the draft plays out. Need an injection of young,

1472
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 5: high end talent, Now that's another part of this equation

1473
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,760
Speaker 5: that we haven't really talked about yet. I don't think

1474
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 5: it's easy to get one of these at twenty six

1475
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 5: per se in a draft where blue chip talent is

1476
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 5: only considered to go six to eight deep.

1477
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 3: But that cannot be ignored.

1478
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 5: The Bills have two elite superstars on offense, Josh Allen

1479
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,799
Speaker 5: James Cook. You might be able to make an argument

1480
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 5: that you know Dion Dawkins or Spencer Brown are high

1481
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 5: end tackles. I don't know if you would make them

1482
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 5: one of your top three tackles in the league, but

1483
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 5: they're they're very, very, very good on defense. I don't

1484
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 5: believe you have elite caliber players on a par with

1485
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 5: Josh or James, and you really should try as hard

1486
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 5: as you can, as best as you can to add that.

1487
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 5: It's hard in free agency because they either a cost

1488
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 5: too much or b not available because they're two good

1489
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 5: in the team that has him wants to keep him,

1490
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 5: or you find a way to get one in the draft.

1491
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 5: I just don't know in this class if you're gonna

1492
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 5: be able to get one at twenty six, knowing the

1493
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 5: depth of blue chip talent is minimal this year, right,

1494
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 5: That's that's the.

1495
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 4: Rub you're talking when you get to the high the

1496
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 4: finger quotes high end talent down in the lower part

1497
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 4: of the first round or in the second round. You're

1498
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 4: talking about traits. So you know, Keon is a trade

1499
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 4: sy guy. He's big, athletic, strong and strong.

1500
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1501
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 4: So you got it and he is As to one

1502
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 4: of our other tweeters, he hasn't panned out. You know,

1503
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 4: we haven't seen his full potential yet. How long do

1504
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 4: you wait on him? But that's what you're into. You

1505
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 4: get a trade see guy. Yeah, okay, but he's not

1506
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 4: as good as a guy who's not traitsy that you've

1507
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 4: got on the roster already.

1508
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 5: Scott on the tweet sheet says, could Oh, sorry we

1509
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 5: did Scott's tweet Jack says ecstatic. They need a needle mover,

1510
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 5: a wide receiver who's affordable and gets open. I like

1511
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 5: the More addition and think Shakier is a top five

1512
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 5: slot wide receiver, but I have no faith in Palmer.

1513
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 5: He was a ghost in twenty five and while I

1514
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 5: still hope Coleman can mature and become a dude, as

1515
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 5: of now, he just doesn't get open enough. So this

1516
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 5: is a person coming at it from a different angle.

1517
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 5: For Jack, it's about his lack of faith in the

1518
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 5: guys on the back half.

1519
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:27,799
Speaker 3: Of the receiving corps.

1520
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 5: Loves Shakir, probably is encouraged by the More acquisition, but

1521
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 5: Jack has little faith in Palmer, who Coleman dealt with

1522
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 5: injuries last year. And we know the problems that Coleman

1523
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 5: has had in terms of you know, getting a jersey

1524
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 5: every Sunday.

1525
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 4: But right, And Mikole Hardman is a guy who's been

1526
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 4: around the block once and so he brings something to

1527
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 4: the table. Whatever you think that we didn't see very

1528
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 4: much of him.

1529
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 5: But this guy's perceived need of a wide receiver is

1530
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 5: rooted in not being convinced of the depth of the

1531
01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 5: guys that they have already.

1532
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 4: More and he likes Shakir, but you got to have

1533
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 4: more guys. And I get it. If you're gonna play

1534
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 4: three wides all the time, the third one's got to

1535
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 4: mean something, right and whatever the pecking or you pick, yeah,

1536
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 4: And you.

1537
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:18,560
Speaker 5: Also don't want to be one injury away from catastrophe,

1538
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 5: you know, holding it together with duct tape and staples,

1539
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 5: which is kind of where they were last year.

1540
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 4: That's where they were in the secondary last year, on

1541
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 4: the whole, on the defensive side of the ball, last

1542
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 4: year up front at Oliver Michael Hoyt down all of

1543
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 4: a sudden, it's it's taping band aids the rest of

1544
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 4: the season.

1545
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 5: Chris on the tweets sheet says, if they could get

1546
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 5: Casey conceptsi on at twenty six, I would not be

1547
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 5: upset doubt he will be there. I would love to

1548
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 5: see a solid nose tackle, linebacker or speed edge.

1549
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1550
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 5: I can't disagree with the positions you outlined. I'm just

1551
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 5: not convinced the value is going to be right at

1552
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 5: twenty six for linebacker or edge rusher.

1553
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a run.

1554
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 5: There'll be a couple of linebackers taking in the top twenty,

1555
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 5: but I think there's gonna be a run on them

1556
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 5: on the in the top half of round two, you're

1557
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 5: gonna see like four or five come off the board there.

1558
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 5: You're talking about Jacob Rodriguez, CJ. Allen, maybe even Anthony Hill.

1559
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 5: Like those guys are somewhere between thirty three and forty five.

1560
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 5: There's gonna be like four or five linebackers go. That's

1561
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 5: the general consensus we're getting.

1562
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 4: I'm always optimistic after the draft, does everybody? It usually is,

1563
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 4: some people aren't. I'm always. I always am because I

1564
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 4: know that if they pick a guy at twenty six

1565
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 4: and it isn't a linebacker or a nose tackle other

1566
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 4: than a speed edge guy, it's like I said, I

1567
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 4: know that I don't know enough about that guy that

1568
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 4: they know, and I will trust that they You know

1569
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 4: they like the guy it. Believe me, they know they've

1570
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 4: got to they got to get it right. They're doing

1571
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 4: their best to get it right. They don't throw these

1572
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,759
Speaker 4: picks away at all. They're pouring their hearts and souls

1573
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 4: into these decisions. This draft, this is their super Bowl today,

1574
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 4: the whole scouting department, the pro personnel department, it's their

1575
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 4: super Bowl and they're trying to get and they're trying

1576
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 4: to get it better than all of the thirty two

1577
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 4: other teams. So when they pick a guy, they believe,

1578
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 4: there's some belief in that room that they got it right.

1579
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 4: And I take a lot of I take a lot

1580
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 4: of comfort in that knowing how important it is to

1581
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 4: these guys. And that's the way it isn't all thirty

1582
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 4: two other teams too. They So if they do take

1583
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 4: a guy at linebacker, speed edge or somebody, and particularly

1584
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 4: a guy that I don't know, I didn't watch that

1585
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 4: much of, or I'm okay with it, and this in

1586
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 4: the curtain point in history. If it's a defender, I'm

1587
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, okay, good. I don't even give it.

1588
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 4: I don't even second guess it.

1589
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 5: The other part of that tweet nose tackle, defensive tackle,

1590
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it.

1591
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 3: It's it's hard for us to.

1592
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 5: Say with confidence exactly what they're looking for, you know,

1593
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 5: in a zero tech one tech defensive tackle, because we

1594
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 5: haven't seen it in action yet in Jim Leonard's system,

1595
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 5: I can't. I think we can safely say that if

1596
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 5: the Bills like a nose tackle prospect who is a

1597
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 5: run stuffer, only those are usually players that are taken

1598
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 5: in round three or four, not in round one.

1599
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 4: It's all about the pass.

1600
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 5: You're gonna find a defensive tackle at twenty six. It's

1601
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 5: gonna be someone who has sack numbers, tackle for lost numbers,

1602
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 5: and some juice you're not getting, you know, a traditional

1603
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 5: Ted Washington.

1604
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:43,839
Speaker 3: There the only at twenty six.

1605
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 4: The only guy. The only way they would do that

1606
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 4: is if the guy comes out of college and for

1607
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 4: some reason, and we've seen other players at other positions

1608
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 4: the same, you'll understand what I mean. Like they took

1609
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 4: him off the field in passing situations because they had

1610
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 4: a guy who could rush the passer.

1611
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 3: It's hard to justify a two down player in round one.

1612
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,640
Speaker 4: Right, they would tell you that what they've seen in

1613
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 4: their scouting, they like him better as a pass rusher

1614
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 4: than the college team that drafted that had him did,

1615
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 4: or they had a stud pass rusher who didn't like

1616
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 4: to play the run. That kind of stuff. If they

1617
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 4: like Dawson Knox didn't have a touchdown his entire college career,

1618
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 4: caught fifteen balls, right, so they saw something and certainly

1619
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 4: the guy's a really good pro. So that kind of

1620
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 4: stuff happens now. Dawson Knox wasn't first round pick, but

1621
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 4: you get the idea. If they feel like it's under

1622
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 4: the hood and he just hasn't been tapped into yet,

1623
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 4: that will raise his draft status up a hair. But

1624
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 4: that's rare, particularly to move a guy into the first

1625
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 4: round who doesn't have those kind of numbers.

1626
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 3: Break time for us here.

1627
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 5: We've got a few comments left on the tweets sheet.

1628
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 5: We'll get to those when we get back here on

1629
01:24:55,640 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 5: one Bill's Live. Right back here on one Bill's Live,

1630
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 5: where we've been asking you all day today, I would

1631
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 5: to pick a receiver at pick twenty six. Grab you

1632
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 5: after we heard Brandon Bean say today at the owner's meetings.

1633
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 5: Despite the acquisition of DJ Morey is not ruling out

1634
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 5: the possibility of taking a receiver at picked twenty six.

1635
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 5: Tito on the tweets sheet says, yes, they need to

1636
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 5: grab a wide receiver. If more goes down, our room

1637
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 5: is worse than last year. Pete says, we should trade

1638
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 5: our number one for a two and a three and

1639
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 5: pick a speedy edge rusher with our acquired number two.

1640
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 5: We need to get the opposing quarterbacks on the turf.

1641
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 5: Grab a wide receiver in the fourth or fifth or

1642
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 5: one in the third round, as we'll have an extra

1643
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 5: pick there by trading our first. Yeah, sliding back is

1644
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 5: a distinct option. I mean a lot of people that

1645
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 5: have paid very close attention to where the value of

1646
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 5: this draft class sits largely believe it's between rounds two

1647
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,839
Speaker 5: and four. So if you don't love what's on the board,

1648
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:14,680
Speaker 5: when you're on the clock at twenty six, and you

1649
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 5: can find a dance partner that you're interested in getting

1650
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 5: up there to get the second quarterback in the draft

1651
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 5: or whatever, and you can get three day two picks

1652
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 5: a two and two threes right, and you could could

1653
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 5: be tempting to pull that trigger.

1654
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 4: You could do that a first round. If the twenty

1655
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 4: sixth pick is a seven hundred, you got to go

1656
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 4: all the way down to like the forty ninth pick

1657
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 4: to get four hundred and ten, and then you get

1658
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 4: to go to two hundred or actually more of like

1659
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 4: a high seventies. You get a second in the third

1660
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 4: from the first three, you get a two and three,

1661
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 4: a mid second, and a high third for your twenty

1662
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 4: sixth pick. So if you could do that, I'm all

1663
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 4: about it.

1664
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 5: Chris on the tweets sheet says number one would be great,

1665
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 5: but honestly, I'd like Josh to be more accurate. The

1666
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 5: deep ball can completion rate just wasn't there on an

1667
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,480
Speaker 5: MVP level, in my humble opinion, lots of underthrown.

1668
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 3: Balls last season.

1669
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 5: I will remind you that Josh Allen had his highest

1670
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 5: completion percentage of his career sixty nine point three percent,

1671
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 5: and I realized there were a lot of short throws

1672
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:18,520
Speaker 5: with those tunnel screens and whatnot.

1673
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 3: Not all those deep balls were his fault.

1674
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 5: I think we remember Brandon Cooks dropping a few of

1675
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 5: them over the course of the season. So yeah, I'm

1676
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 5: I take it with a grain of salt there.

1677
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 4: Yes, you can. There's always improvements to be made everywhere

1678
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 4: on a football team, and every season. The Seahawks will

1679
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 4: tell you there's stuff they're going to work on this offseason,

1680
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 4: no question, but they're I mean there's a lot of places, yeah,

1681
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 4: I go to before I start talking about Josh Allen

1682
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 4: and what he can do to improve Steve.

1683
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 5: We all know insurance fraud is a real thing. This one, though,

1684
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 5: takes the kick. People elected one hundred and forty one thousand,

1685
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 5: eight hundred and thirty nine dollars from insurance companies by

1686
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 5: dressing up as a bear. And then what they did was,

1687
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 5: after dressing in a bear costume, they climbed inside three

1688
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 5: high end luxury vehicles, filmed it, sent the video to

1689
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 5: their insurance company, claiming a real bear damaged the car.

1690
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,680
Speaker 5: They did it with a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Mercedes

1691
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 5: G sixty three, and a Mercedes E three point fifty

1692
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 5: three cars same location, but three different insurance companies. An

1693
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,640
Speaker 5: actual biologist was brought in to review the footage and

1694
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 5: exposed them instantly, saying that is clearly a human in

1695
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 5: a bear suit. The reason they got caught a light

1696
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:59,640
