00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live presented by Calledlida Health.

2
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live Matti

3
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: Glab alongside of Steve Tasker. As the window to tag

4
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: players is officially closed, that means free agency is just

5
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: a week away. We saw quite a few players get

6
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: tagged yesterday. Players get released, players get extended.

7
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: The news is beginning, and as it relates.

8
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: To the Bills, according to Aaron Wilson, the Bills have

9
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: reached a two year, six million dollar extension with David

10
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Edwards that includes two point ninety five million dollars in

11
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: guaranteed money with one point seventy five million dollars in

12
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: a signing bonus. So the Bills reach a two year

13
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: deal with David Edwards. He was someone that we talked

14
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: about in yesterday's show, Steve, as it relates to the

15
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: offensive line, the depth within the offensive line since Buffalo

16
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: traded Ryan Bates to the Chicago Bears for a fifth

17
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: round pick in this year's.

18
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Draft, and also David Edwards also got some protection in

19
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: there in case something happens and he goes into play,

20
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: he'll have some performance if he starts playing a high

21
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: percentage of the snaps. He'll start getting more money as well.

22
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: All of that helps him sign this deal. It's a

23
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: great signing. I like the guy.

24
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: You were on it.

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: You called for it yesterday, and it's a good thing

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I didn't because everything I say on the show, they

27
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: do the opposite. Like I was saying, hey, they love

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates, they traded him the next or the same

29
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: day they traded him, So I.

30
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: Better not talk.

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: I hate to talk about anybody now because they do

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: the exact opposite what I think they're gonna do. But

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: David Edwards, who was a kind of a safety net

34
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: for the entire offensive line, one which thankfully.

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: They didn't need too much. But he's a good player.

36
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: He's the guy that came in and reported as eligible

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: in the sixth man, sixth offensive lineman and short yardage

38
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: and goal line situations.

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: It's fun to it'll be fun to have him back.

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: It makes you feel good about that side of the ball,

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: even better than we already do.

42
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do feel good about them re signing David Edwards.

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: I think he was a big depth piece to this team.

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: We saw a cohesive unit last year with the offensive

45
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: line with the same five guys usually always which is

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: a good thing. And David Edwards was the guy who

47
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: would report in when needed when they decided to go

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: heavy upfront.

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: I think he did a good job of that. He

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: also offers.

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 2: Position flexibility of position versatility, which is what you want

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: out of your depth pieces along the offensive line. So

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: good to see him back in a Buffalo Bill's uniform

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: for the next two seasons. An awesome story about David

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Edwards that I found out toward the end of the season.

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: A local media channel reported it. But him and his

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: wife had a baby. I think I want to say

58
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: it was January and it was during one of the

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: snowstorms and he had to have his neighbors help him

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: shovel out of the driveway rush to the hospital so

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: that his wife could have their daughter son.

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: I can't remember, off, yeah, have their child.

63
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: And I want to say that David Edwards was out

64
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: of town for a game and so he was hustling

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: back something like that. But cool story about just the

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: Buffalo community helping out David Edwards and his wife.

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: Good to see.

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Him back in Buffalo for a couple of seasons.

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: And yesterday quite a few players were.

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Tagged by their teams teams placed the franchise tag on

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: several different players, some players being released and some players

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: not tagged at all. We covered a few of those yesterday.

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: Want to get to a couple more that we did

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: not talk about. New England Patriots deciding to place their

75
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: transition tag on safety Kyle Dugger, reported by Ian Rappaport

76
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: and Mike Garrafoloduger, who's twenty seven years old, had nine

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: career interceptions in four seasons for New England. Versatile player

78
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: for their defense. Who else Michael Pittman, a wide receiver

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 2: for the Indian Indianapolis Colts.

80
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: The Colts decided to.

81
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: Use their non exclusive franchise tag on Pittman yesterday. The

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: tag is were twenty one point eight million dollars for

83
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: this upcoming season. The sides are supposed to be continuing

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: to discuss a long term deal, according to Tom Pellasero,

85
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: so a couple of big names getting moved around getting tagged.

86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: We spoke yesterday about Christian Wilkins, the defensive tackle from Miami.

87
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: Miami is deciding to not franchise tag Christian Wilkins, and

88
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: he is set to hit the market on March thirteenth

89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: at four o'clock.

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: That's when the new league year begins.

91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: Teams can begin discussions with players on March eleventh at noon,

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: so that window will begin early next week. Looking forward

93
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: to seeing what happens, because we've already heard a bunch

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: of things. We've already seen quite a few players get

95
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: moved around, quite a few players get extended and tagged.

96
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: There's been a ton of guys get released for CAP reasons.

97
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, the running back from Minnesota, fully Fight Akazi,

98
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: the defensive end from Jacksonville got released. The Giants released

99
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: guard Mark Lewinski. Cj Usama, tight end from the Jets,

100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: got released. That saves them five million bucks in CAP.

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Darius Williams, the corner from Jacksonville. Jacksonville also releases Rayshon Jenkins.

102
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: You know, they released three guys yesterday from Jacksonville, and

103
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: then that was in the wake of them offering Josh

104
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: All on the defensive end, you know, the franchise tag.

105
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on as everybody postures at

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: the end of this week, getting into Monday, when we'll

107
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: probably you know, five minutes into Monday, we're going to

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: find out who's been talking to who already and you'll

109
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: and that's when remember it was like five minutes in

110
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: that Tremaine Edmunds went to Chicago and they weren't even

111
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: allowed to talk to him until then, and then they

112
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: already had the deal set. So you can you can

113
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: think that the beginning of this coming week is going

114
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: to be fast and furious.

115
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: Yep, Kymi Fairbairn, the kicker from Houston, signed a three year,

116
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: fifteen point nine million dollar contract extension with the Texans

117
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 2: Micah Parsons defensive end from Dallas. They exercised a fifth

118
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: year option for twenty twenty five, twenty one point three

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: two four million dollars fifth year option, So big news

120
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: out of Dallas and the Seattle Seahawks decided to release

121
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: Jamal Adams. And they didn't just release Jamal Adams. They

122
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: also released quandary digs, so two of their safeties. Releasing

123
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: quandary digs cleared up eleven million dollars of cap space

124
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: for them as teams starts to become a cap compliant.

125
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: The Jamal Adams move cleared six million dollars of cap space.

126
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh quandary digs cleared eleven Will Disley also

127
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: a tight end from Seattle got released. That's seven million dollars,

128
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: just shy a seven million dollars. So they releasing three

129
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: guys that are making that much money. Does a lot

130
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: for your cap number. You remember, Jamal Adams was a

131
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: guy that the Jets drafted and traded to Seattle. He

132
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a tween er kind of

133
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: a safety that was really a linebacker boxing.

134
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was hard.

135
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: It was hard to find a spot for him in

136
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. Seattle struggled with and of course now they

137
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: they're not going to pay him the six million dollars

138
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: coming to him. They're gonna they're gonna go their separate ways.

139
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: So uh, it's it's really interesting to see because we

140
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: tend to be and Brownie always uses the word biopic

141
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: because we totally focus on this building, you know, the

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Bills and what they're doing, and all the problems we've

143
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: gotten and the challenges we face. And even our Twitter

144
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: poll today who's the biggest threat in the division? You know,

145
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: but everybody else in the same boat. Man, it's amazing

146
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the names you recognize getting released. And for as as

147
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: tough as it is to watch, the Bills have to

148
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: say goodbye and watch these contracts expire. And they got

149
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: like four guys left on the defensive line out of

150
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: twelve guys that were on the roster. There's a lot

151
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: of guys out there that she's like, Wow, I'd love

152
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: to have that guy. Yeah, And now, even though it's

153
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: an academic exercise at this point, the Bills can get

154
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: their hands on those guys.

155
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

156
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what happens once the negotiation

157
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: period begins on March eleventh and once things become official

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 2: on March thirteenth, because the Bills do have a lot

159
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: to do in the meantimes intern in the meantime in

160
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: term of making sure they are cap compliant. According to

161
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: SPA Track, right now, the Bills are in cap jail

162
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: with forty one million dollars that they need to make

163
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: up to become cap compliant. That number is two fifty

164
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: five point four. That's the salary cap for this season.

165
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: That's down from fifty five million that they were in

166
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: cap before the cap. Before the the salary cap went up,

167
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: the number they thought it was going to be around

168
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: two forty two to forty eight maybe, but it went

169
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: all the way to two fifty five and that's just

170
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of breathing room that the Bills have

171
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: now that they can they can go in and see

172
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: how much they have to restructure. Certainly they have the

173
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: wherewithal to do it, but yeah, it'll be much easier now.

174
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: And you can see other teams that, you know, everybody's

175
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: got their own situation that we just mentioned. Seattle Seahawks

176
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: cleared up six plus eleven, seventeen plus seven. They've cleared

177
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: up twenty four million dollars in cap space. Just shy

178
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: at twenty four million by releasing three guys Presto Chango.

179
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: You know.

180
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: That's and right now, according to spot trek, they have

181
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: almost forty million dollars of available cap space, so they're

182
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: they're in the upper half of the NFL.

183
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: If you look at.

184
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: Where teams are at, the Bills are at the bottom

185
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: of the NFL, needing to make up about forty two

186
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: million dollars before March thirteenth at four o'clock pm. The

187
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: next team ranking thirty first is the Denver Broncos with

188
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: nineteen point two million dollars that they have to make

189
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: up and clear to become cap compliant to that number.

190
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: Two fifty five point four. So the Bills have a

191
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: lot of work ahead of them. I'm sure they're doing

192
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: that right now. And negotiations will begin shortly, will begin

193
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: early next week as they are allowed to start talking

194
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: to different players and figure out, hey, can you come

195
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: to our team for X amount the money because it

196
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: might not be that much.

197
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be interesting because even as we've

198
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: been on the air since yesterday, and since we started

199
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: the show on Monday, all these the whole order of

200
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: getting CAP compliant has changed since Monday, the Bills were

201
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: have have been in the worst team yet and all

202
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: these other nobody else is over twenty million dollars in

203
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: CAP jail now after two days of the releases and

204
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: the signings and all that, and Bills are still forty

205
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: two went budged and they'd signed David Edwards today or

206
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: they reportedly did.

207
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: And so keep.

208
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Your ear to the ground, because the Bills are going

209
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: to make some contract adjustments to some of the guys

210
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: on the team, will release some guys.

211
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will start hearing about that shortly. I would imagine.

212
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: Just knowing the work that they have to do ahead

213
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: of free agency on March thirteenth, we've got a question

214
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: for you today, which AFC East team is the biggest.

215
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: Threat to the Bills. We wanted to start looking around.

216
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: The AFC East and look at each team, what they

217
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,479
Speaker 2: currently have on their roster, what they have in the draft,

218
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: what they might go after in free agency, and their

219
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: cap number. Quite a few things to look at to

220
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: begin to form opinions on. Okay, who is going to

221
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: be the team that's going to be a contender with

222
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: the Bills this upcoming season. A lot of this is

223
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: projection based, or maybe based off a field, or maybe

224
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: based off a potential too, because I look at the

225
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: Patriots and I say, well, they have a lot of

226
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: work to do, they have a lot of money to spend.

227
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: They have newness in their building with girod Mayo and

228
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: Elliott Woolf at the helm head coach and GM of

229
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots, and there's supposed to be a good vibe

230
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: about the building right now. Everybody likes how it's feeling.

231
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 2: There's a big question at quarterback. But if you can

232
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: hit on the draft, you have the third overall pick.

233
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: If you can spend big money in free agency, they're

234
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: not just two players away.

235
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: They do have a lot of work to do.

236
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: But if you can hit home runs in all of

237
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: those different categories, you might be well off by the

238
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: time Week one begins.

239
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: I agree.

240
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots have they While they do have

241
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: the furthest to go, they have the most the most

242
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: assets to work with. And I think the fact that

243
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: they've got Drawd Mayo in the building as they're head

244
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: coach now, that gives them that, you know, the ramp

245
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: up now. Certainly they'll be a transition period. I mean,

246
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: the new guys in the building for the first time

247
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: in twenty plus years. It's going to take some time

248
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: to get adjusted. But man oh man, if they if

249
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: they do it right, New England could be the surprise

250
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: team in the league. Certainly, with the third pick in

251
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: the draft, they can get one of the quarterbacks that

252
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: they want if they so desire.

253
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 4: But I'm they are poised to make an enormous move.

254
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: They could get one of the Caleb Williams, Drake may

255
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, you name it. They could get one of

256
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: those guys Nick you know bo Nix, I mean, knowing

257
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: the knowing the Patriots, They'll go off the board and

258
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: pick somebody ill. I mean, that's the way. We've seen

259
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: him for twenty years. Now, Gerrod Mayo may be more

260
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: close to what you can predict.

261
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: And Elliott they have a GM now who is going

262
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: to be making those moves where in the past there

263
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: was nobody that was named the GM.

264
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: And yeah, they have.

265
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: So many assets to work with.

266
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: You think, well, if they hit it, if they always

267
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: envisioned him like, well, they're you know, they're gonna do

268
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: it right, But we envision It's been a generation since

269
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: we've even seen anybody else do anything that. You know,

270
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots always did things their own way. It was

271
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: the you know, the finger quotes Patriot way, and it

272
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense to anybody, like drafting.

273
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: Cold little strange. Yes, I mean, what.

274
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: Are they doing now?

275
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: Are they even Are they gonna be even stranger or

276
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: are they gonna get more mainstream? Are they gonna do

277
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: the predictable thing? I mean, you're you're sitting there at

278
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: the third pick of the draft, and you know, back

279
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: in the old days, these guys are picking, you know,

280
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: some vagabonds we don't know or everybody else was gonna

281
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: pick in the fifth round, they pick them first. I

282
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: don't know, what do you expect from the Patriots. That's

283
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: the big thing. That's there's a huge unknown in that

284
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: huge unknown.

285
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: But since they were so far the other direction in

286
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: the what are you doing on draft night? You're drafting

287
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: a player that shouldn't have gone until the third round

288
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: or whatnot, I would think they become more mainstream.

289
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: I would think they become there's no.

290
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: Way they could go further. Yeah, and I.

291
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: Think they've learned from those lessons. The people making those

292
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: decisions of who you want to put in those seats.

293
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: Robert Kraft probably wants to get a little bit more mainstream.

294
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: Probably want somebody making decisions similar to how other successful

295
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: teams make decisions. So I would think they kind of

296
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: get more middle of the road.

297
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: Here.

298
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: There's a team like the Miami Dolphins, who you've got

299
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: your quarterback. Can he win in the big games? Can

300
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: he get you far into the playoffs? The Miami Dolphins

301
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: had to release Jerome Baker and Christian Wilkins in efforts

302
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: to become cap compliant. They are fifteen million under right now.

303
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: They still have some work to do. They're the team

304
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: that has the speed. They've got Tyreek Hill, They've got

305
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: fast running backs, but is that enough to win in

306
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: this league? Do you also need size? Do they need

307
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: to retool what's been going on the last few years.

308
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: They've got a good head coach, they've got a good GM,

309
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: They've got the pieces, but I think they need more

310
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: and can they do that this offseason.

311
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge question mark and I.

312
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 4: And I don't know.

313
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: I have I've liked Mike McDaniel. I think he's an

314
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: intriguing guy. He's likable. His leadership is going to get

315
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: tested this year, like it has not been tested yet.

316
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 4: Uh.

317
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: He got the job after they drafted Toua, and I

318
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: think he's probably I think they've got a really good relationship,

319
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: the two of them. I think Tua likes him. I

320
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: think Mike McDaniel is who he seems to be. But

321
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: even Tyreek Hill has been quoted in interviews now that

322
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: he said, you know, we you know there's a lot

323
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: of there was some tension in the room. You know,

324
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: guy's wanting the ball, that kind of thing last year,

325
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: and he says, you know, there's gonna have to be

326
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: some changes made in his opinion going forward, and with

327
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: the if the defense is going to take a hit, well,

328
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: we thought last year they were going to get better

329
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio all of the Yeah, all of a sudden.

330
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 4: Vic Fangiel didn't work out. There's something's going on there.

331
00:17:59,800 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 5: Uh.

332
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: And I think Mike McDaniel has got to be the

333
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: guy that the it's the bucks got to stop with him.

334
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: He's got to set the standard and set the tone there.

335
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: Having vic Fangio come into that building and have it

336
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: not go well says that to me, hints at least

337
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: hints at dysfunction.

338
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: And you heard defensive players start to talk about Vic

339
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: Fangio and how they would just want to do their

340
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: own thing on the field and not listen to how

341
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: he was calling defenses. You want to be able to

342
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: have a coaching staff who your players are taking that

343
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: coaching and putting it onto the field, putting it on

344
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: the field, and listening to what your coaches are telling you.

345
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: You don't want. You don't want your players freestyling on

346
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: the field.

347
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: Got to buy in, yeah, doing whatever the players did

348
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: not buy into.

349
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 3: Vic Fangio, Who's a name in the NFL, who is.

350
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: A well regarded, highly regarded defensive coordinator, former head coach.

351
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: He's been I mean, he's been around the block a

352
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: bunch and had been successful defensively wherever he went, and

353
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: you went in there and they did not buy in. Now,

354
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: some you can say it's Vic. Some of it's Mike

355
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: McDaniel as a head coach's job. Say listen, get on

356
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: board with this guy, let's go. That's to me is

357
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: troubling from the outside. You can't have the players pick

358
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff or unpick the coaching staff. In this case,

359
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: I think it's it's highly dysfunctional, at least it looks

360
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: like it.

361
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: So they hired Anthony Weaver as their new new defensive cooridator.

362
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: He was actually the defensive line coach for the Bills

363
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen. Most recently was with the Baltimore Ravens

364
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: as their assistant head coach and d line coach in

365
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. Also spent time

366
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: with the Texans, the Browns, and the Jets, beginning his

367
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: NFL coaching career all the way in twenty twelve, so

368
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: he's been in NFL for over ten years. It'll be

369
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: interesting to see how that defense works out, what defense

370
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: he decides to call, and what they do to fill

371
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: the holes of players like Jerome Baker and Christian Wilkins.

372
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: Christian Wilkins was a top tier talent for that team

373
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: last year. The numbers that he put up were very impressive.

374
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: You would think you want to build a defense around

375
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: a player like that. Can't do that, So do you

376
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: go after a similar body type in the draft? Do

377
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: you try and fill that void via free agency?

378
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: And let's switch to the Jets.

379
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: Now that's a team who has a lot of question

380
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: marks on them and that coaching staff has a lot

381
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: of pressure on them.

382
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jets have twenty seven million dollars in cap space.

383
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: And you know, you get what an unbelievable occurrence that

384
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: happened in opening game last year. Four plays in they lose.

385
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: This The entire off season of work goes right down

386
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: the tubes and Aaron Rodgers goes down with an achilles injury.

387
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: Now he's coming back and wants to play well, wants

388
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: to play and for the first time, theoretically you're gonna

389
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: get a chance to see him. Now he's going to

390
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: be forty years old, forty, not even thirty six, which

391
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: is considered old forty And how durable will he be

392
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: at that age? How durable? How much will things have

393
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: changed in front of him. He played four plays last

394
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: year and that was all it took to get him

395
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: hurt last year. With you know, with Leonard Floyd coming

396
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: off the edge. The Jets are the biggest unknown, I

397
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: mean most all three of the teams in the in

398
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: the AFC East other than the Bills, have huge question

399
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: marks around him. The Dolphins probably less so than the Jets.

400
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: They do have Robert Salih coming back, as do the

401
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Jets have Mike mcan That Dolphins have Mike McDaniel coming back.

402
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: But the Jets have a really talented and stellar defense.

403
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: They play extremely well offensively. They've struggled at quarterback, but

404
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: they seem to have players except for offensive linemen, which

405
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: is what led to Aaron Rodgers going away.

406
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 2: And if you have a quarterback who's up there in age,

407
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: who is a coveted quarterback that lots of teams would

408
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: want to have, who's you gotta put an offensive line

409
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: around a guy like that. You got to put an

410
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: offensive line around a pocket passer.

411
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 4: You got to protect him.

412
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: You have to protect somebody who's getting up there in age,

413
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: getting up there in his NFL career. Who knows how

414
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: many years he wants to play. Who knows how many

415
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 2: years he has left in him.

416
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we're watching highlights right now against the Buffalo Bills,

417
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: and you got to remember there was only three four.

418
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: Plays that happened. It was wid That's it.

419
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: And to me, you think about, you know how this

420
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: all came down, and now they're saying, well, it's you know,

421
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: things changed. Aaron's got a lot of sway in the building.

422
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: The ownership kind of listens to him, so does the

423
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Robert Sala has got to be looking around

424
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: going on, am my, you know what's going on here?

425
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, how much juice does Robert Sala have in

426
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: order to make this team in the image he wants

427
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: it to be the kind of team he wants it

428
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: to be. That's a real question. And I don't think.

429
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he has as much juice as he

430
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: wants to have. And I don't think he has as

431
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: much say about how the roster's built and which guys

432
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: they get as a lot of head coaches might. How

433
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: this is gonna look is obviously once again going to

434
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: depend on the health of Aaron Rodgers.

435
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: And I also think time is taking for Robert Sala

436
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: he entered absolutely the head coaching role in twenty twenty one.

437
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 2: It's now twenty twenty four. You've got to show what

438
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: you can do this year next year, and if you can't,

439
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: I think they move on and they hire somebody.

440
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

441
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: Absolutely, in New York, there's absolutely no patience for another

442
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: year or this and whether it's his fault round and

443
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it is.

444
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 4: I mean, the stuff that's going on around Robert so much.

445
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: Can't script that stuff.

446
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you can't.

447
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Joe Douglas as there gm they

448
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: have gotten some really good players. But as soon as

449
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: the Jets got a chance at Aaron Rodgers and they

450
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: made the deal, they made it happen. They came over

451
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they went off the rails and

452
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: became the Jets again. They were drafting well, they drafted.

453
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: They picked the in all people's minds and yours and

454
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: mind included in Browning, I think agrees. They picked the

455
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: right head coach too, for the first time in a

456
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: long time, Robert Salah, and it looked like they were

457
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: getting it together. And then the Aaron Rodgers debacle happens

458
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: and they're right back to being the old Jets. Yeah,

459
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean they started listening to the quarterback and letting

460
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: him pick players and doing stuff, and you know, hiring

461
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: his buddies as coaches and players. I mean that just

462
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 1: you start making bad decisions and then they compound and

463
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: it's just unbelievable.

464
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: So that's why they have the biggest unknown. That's why

465
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: they have a bunch of question marks around them. It's

466
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: interesting to talk about the AFC East right now as

467
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: we sit one week away from free agency, over a

468
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: month away from the NFL Draft, because things are going

469
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: to start to take shape, Things are going to start

470
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: to come together. The picture is going to look clearer

471
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 2: for all of these teams, including Buffalo. But right now

472
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: there's a lot of unknowns in the AFC East. And

473
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: I think in seasons past it was easy to say

474
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Dolphins, and last year it was

475
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: the Jets. Because the Jets now have Aaron Rodgers, they

476
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: have their quarterback, they have it together, they have a

477
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: great defense, top ten defense, they have some weapons on offense.

478
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: You can do any thing with Aaron Rodgers. That proved

479
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: to be not the case because Aaron Rodgers was not

480
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: a part of the team for almost the entire season

481
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: was just able to take a few snaps.

482
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: I'll say this though too with the Jets last year

483
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers, even on and off the field, he

484
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: dominated even when he was off the field for the

485
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: whole season, he dominated the conversation because of his media

486
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: appearances and because of his healing process and the stuff

487
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: that he was putting out. Even so, the Jets won

488
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: seven games last they weren't like They weren't four and

489
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: thirteen like the Patriots. They were seven and ten with

490
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. That says a lot about the quality of

491
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: coaching and the players that they have that were gonna

492
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: have around Aaron Rodgers. Their offensive line was an atrocity.

493
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: They beat the Bills in Week one, they were.

494
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: An atrocity as that season went on, and they would

495
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: have been markedly different if they would have had just

496
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: passable tackle play.

497
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: And they didn't. So this year.

498
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: Now, you even if they upgrade their offensive line, it

499
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: still comes down to how healthy Aaron Rodgers can stay

500
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: for an eighteen week season.

501
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 2: They have the tenth pick in the first round, they

502
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: have a third round selection as well. Offensive tackle is

503
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: going to be a great position to go after in

504
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: the first round. After those wide receivers go off the board,

505
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: cornerback and offensive tackles where your depth lives. Once you

506
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: get into the teams of that first round, maybe they

507
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: decide to go there. McKay Beckton is set to become

508
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: a free agent. I know he was somebody who seemed

509
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: like he was healthy for just a minute within his

510
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: first contract with the Jets. Yeah, so you would think

511
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: they would load up on offensive line the Jets.

512
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, they totally.

513
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: I think there's no question when they drafted McKay Beckton,

514
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: they expected him to be there, plug in, plug and

515
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: play for fifteen years and he has been a colossal

516
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: failure in that. So well, the Jets should take an

517
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: offensive tackle in this draft at number ten. But now

518
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: that they're going back to being the Jets, I don't

519
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: know if they'll be smart enough to do that. They

520
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: may go off the rails again. But Joe Douglas has

521
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: drafted extremely well, so I think they will. They'll take

522
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: it or guard they'll take an offensive lineman at number

523
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: ten in this draft.

524
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: In the past few years, we have looked back at

525
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: the Jets drafts and we have said, Wow, look at how.

526
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 4: They drafted, They've drafted very well.

527
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: Well, I would assume they draft well again this upcoming season,

528
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: knowing that there's some huge holes on that team, not

529
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: a lot, but a couple that really need to be filled.

530
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: And it starts with the offensive line.

531
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: They go from number ten, then they're number two is gone? Yes,

532
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: and they go all the way to number They go

533
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: to ninety is it no, it's let me find the jet.

534
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: Where's the jet logo? Here? It is?

535
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, seventy seventy two. They go to seventy two. They

536
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: go from tenth pick to the seventy second pick. So

537
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna pick twice in between the jets

538
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: first two picks, and uh yeah, I would expect them

539
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: to do that.

540
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: Then at seventy two, I.

541
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: Don't know what they'll pick, but I know at number

542
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: ten they're gonna pick an offensive lineman that's from a

543
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: million miles away, That's what I'm calling. So they're actually

544
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: probably gonna take what a corner or somebody like that

545
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: for me, because if I if I call it, it's

546
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: not gonna happen because I stink.

547
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: No, I think they're right there on the money.

548
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: We'll see.

549
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 2: We have a question for you today, which AFC East

550
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: team is the biggest threat to the Bills.

551
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: Give us a call at eighth three oh five point

552

Speaker 6: in the stadium.

575

576
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: front like.

577
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,720

Speaker 4: It's pretty cool they're doing it.

599
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: And I said this too, that it's all set up,

600
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: they're using all the they're letting professionals handle everything right,

601
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: and they really do.

602
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,280

605
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: it's going to look like, a feel for what the

606
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: stadium's going to feel like inside of it once you

607
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: get there. It's awesome too that this new stadium is

608
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: not going to be like the last one they built

609
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: here in Orchard Park because it came from.

610
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: It was the rock Pile downtown.

611
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: And I, by the way, I'm one of the few

612
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: people around who competed in the rock Pile. I didn't

613
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: play football in it. I played a charity softball game.

614
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: The Bisons used to play in the rock pile, all right,

615
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: so then I so we played a softball game there

616
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: before they tore it down and then they moved up here.

617
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: So it was a big move from when they moved

618
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: from the rock Pile out to Orchard Park, and it

619
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: was a big adjustment. And there's still legendary stories about

620
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: that first preseason game where it took people like an

621
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: hour to get in, you know, hours to get in.

622
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: It was all it was absolutely a mess. Well now

623
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: the new stadium, of course, I was. We know, hey,

624
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: everything's gonna kind of be the same. You know, there's

625
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a group of people that were parked over

626
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: at ECC They're gonna have to find a new place

627
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: to park. But this stadium is gonna be I think

628
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: this is gonna become a parking lot. So that's gonna happen.

629
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: But everybody else is gonna like, hey, we're you know,

630
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: we're back to normal. This coming season is going to

631
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: be the next to the last, very last season here.

632
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: It's wild.

633
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it's gonna be neat that the new place is

634
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna be here, the same neighborhood, and you're gonna be

635
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: able to go over and look at it. Now when

636
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: you go to this NFL, this this Buffalo Bill's Experience

637
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: stadium experience, you're gonna you're gonna get a sense of

638
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: how new it's gonna be and how different it's gonna be.

639
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: That's I think change is hard for a lot of people,

640
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: but I think people are really gonna love.

641
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 4: This stadium, really love it.

642
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: I think the really cool thing about doing something like

643
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: this and taking the time to open a center so

644
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: fans can go and truly experience what the new stadium is.

645
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: Going to be like is really important.

646
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: Because you can put the pictures out there, you can

647
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,520

Speaker 1: So I encourage everybody going. Now, here's the thing, the

670
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: way that the stadium. There's a whole industry around this

671
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: building new stadiums. They happen all over the world and

672
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: here in America as well.

673
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 4: The experts will do it the way they.

674
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: Want to do it, and they're going to start out

675
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: by selling the very most because there's there's seats in

676
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: high mark here you and I can't afford, just like

677
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: there's going to be across the streets. So they sell

678
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: those and the odd they sell those first. They don't

679
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: sell them last. They sell them first. Say like listen,

680
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: the high rollers get to go ahead.

681
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 3: Ask for you're a high roller.

682
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Right, I haven't been. I haven't got called yet. So

683
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: they let the high rollers go first, and they get in.

684
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: They you know, they'll go in and and they'll be

685
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred couple of hundred seats that are

686
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, like what you say, very different than when

687
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: anything we're used to experience, right exactly, And so they

688
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: sell those first, and then they sell the next level

689
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: down however many and they get and the number gets bigger,

690
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: there's like whatever, there's the owner who has one seat right,

691
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: and then there's his family, then there's you know, it

692
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: goes out. You know, there's a couple of hundred seats

693
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: in this stadium I've known that are going to be

694
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: very different, like like yeah, high end, not even experience

695
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: even above the sweet level. Then they're gonna sell the

696
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: Sweet level. Then they'll sell the fifty are line, and

697
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: then they go out from there. And then and the

698
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: numbers of each of those numbers obviously expand, so they

699
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: the people who are willing to spend the most get

700
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: first choice, and that's that's where it goes. And they

701
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: don't sell the next level until all those are sold.

702
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: So for me and you, we're gonna have to wait, right,

703
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: You and I are gonna have to We're gonna have

704
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: to wait, and we'll do it with the same as anybody.

705
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a very cool experience. And that's

706
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: nothing that the bill. It's the bills are letting the

707
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: experts do this. It's an industry wide best practice, and

708
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: that's that's how it's gonna happen. But this experience thing

709
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: is the one of the coolest things about it because

710
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to go in there and say, Okay,

711

Speaker 1: like when I get in there? I'm excited about it.

713
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: It was really cool to see it. And of course

714
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: I was there early in the process when they were

715
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: it was a little bit of plywood and and you know,

716
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,040

00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 2: team that has some questions surrounding the quarterback position.

00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got they got a ways to go.

759
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: They the new ownership is probably finding their way, getting

760
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: their feet under them, and there's a learning curve, no

761
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: question about it. I've said this before on the show.

762
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: I've interacted with some owners. Obviously Kim and Terry have

763
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: been on a different sense other owners around the league.

764
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: Through my course of covering the game for a couple

765
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: of decades with CBS, I would go in and the

766
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: overwhelming sentiment for new owners as they get into the

767
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: league is the real sense of the league, kind of

768
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: figuratively speaking, takes you know, throws you the keys to

769
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the building.

00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 3: Here you go, have fun, good luck.

771
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,840

00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: you know what, what's this words what do I do here?

780
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: You know, they're he's finding his way. It's hard, man,

781
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: it's hard. And some teams you get it. You never

782
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: nobody's selling the team that's winning the World championship. And

783
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, so that's uh, you kind of start from

784
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: scratching and see if you can rebuild it. And I

785
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: think that's what Washington's doing. And you see you got

786
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: see him signing. You know, you've got Cliff Kingsbury's over

787
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: there now. He's bringing some people in. You're bringing people

788
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: you trust. That's it's very old school, but it seems

789
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: to be working.

790
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cliff works.

791
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury was hired by the Commanders on February fifth

792
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: as their offensive coordinator. He spent the twenty twenty three

793
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 2: season with USC as a senior offensive analyst. His last

794
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 2: head coaching job was with the Arizona Cardinals from twenty

795
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: nineteen to twenty twenty two. And the Commanders have the

796
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: second overall pick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft.

797
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 2: Are they interested in Drake May, Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams?

798
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: Who have they fallen in love with? Since they're picking

799
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: at that number two spot, will they try to get

800
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 2: up to number one? Will somebody try to trade and

801
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: get that number two pick? It's always fun to talk

802
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 2: about those first few picks in the NFL draft, especially

803
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: in a draft that has some top end quarterback talent

804
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: that's going to go off the board quickly. They also

805
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: have two second round picks, two third round picks, so

806
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: this is a team who can do a lot in

807
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 2: the beginning part of the draft Night one and Day two.

808
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 8: Oh. This is really relevant to the Bills as well,

809
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 8: because if you look at the draft order and what

810
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 8: the players are available, it's a deep draft and wide

811
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 8: receivers very good at the top, elite at the top.

812
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: Quarter back same thing. And also we know this too.

813
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: Defensive lineman at edge rusher's and offensive lineman are all

814
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: these money draft picks the teams go after and if

815
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: you get a team like Washington who's thinking about a quarterback,

816
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: the more teams that take quarterbacks and defensive linemen and

817
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, it makes other positions go deeper into the

818
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: first round. It's simple mathematics. I was watching one where

819
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: one mock draft has seven wide receivers going in the

820
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: first round, and you know, you go down it's names.

821
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: We know it's you know, Marvin Harrison Junior is accepted

822
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: as being the best guy out there. Malik Neighbors and

823
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: Roma Doonza, all of those guys are great wideouts and

824
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: they've got a chance to be drafted very early. Then

825
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: you've got Brian Thomas Junior, a guy that has been

826
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: mocked early to the Bills, but now it looks like

827
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna go maybe in the top fifteen. Right, Troy Franklin,

828
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: same thing from Oregon. He's got a chance to go.

829
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman. We talked about a guy coming in yesterday thaying,

830
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: may I think Keon Coleman was mocked to the Bills,

831
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: and then because of his performance that they combine A

832
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: d Mitchell, a Donai Mitchell, Donna ad Ni here you go.

833
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Ad Ni. Mitchell has also been jumped up to the

834
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: first round. And you see here in the numbers we're

835
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: looking at on our graphics, Troy Franklin and at A.

836
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 4: D Mitchell.

837
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: Adie Mitchell's thirty sixth player and Troy Franklin is the

838
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: forty ninth player. But those guys now are inside the

839
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: top thirty two. And on this graph they've got Javon Baker,

840
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: They've got Xavier Worthy moving up because of his forty

841
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: time that he ran at the combine. All these guys

842
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: may go in the first. So one of these names

843
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: that we've were talking about are gonna be or maybe

844
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 1: more are gonna be available to Buffalo when the pick

845
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: comes up at twenty eight, do the.

846
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 3: Bills decide to go wide receiver with their.

847
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: First they're going to Are they gonna get to a

848
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: point where they have to choose between Brian Thomas Junior,

849
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, Troy Franklin.

850
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 4: Or ad Mitchell or xavier' Worthy.

851
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Now, so all of those guys may be there, or

852
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 1: there might only be one or two of them left,

853
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: and they got to think, okay, now we got to

854
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: go up to twenty three to get him right.

855
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 3: So it's driving us mass.

856
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 4: It drives you crazy.

857
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: It drives you crazy because there's so many there's so

858
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: many many variables to it. Well, there's actually twenty seven

859
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: variables coming up, you know, twenty seven picks before you Yep, a.

860
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 2: Lot can happen in those twenty seven picks. While you're

861
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: waiting to be on the clock. It's a break time

862
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: for us. When we return, we'll have Ben Volin on

Speaker 2: Glab and for our number two, we would like to

871
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 2: bring on Boston Globe senior NFL writer Ben Volin to

872
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: discuss more about the Patriots, where they are, what they

873
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: need to do this offseason. Ben, we have a question

874
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: for today's show and it's uh AFC East team is

875
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: the biggest threat to the Bills And if you start

876
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: to talk about the Patriots, the Patriots have a lot

877
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: of potential, have a lot of opportunity this off season

878
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 2: with the newness in their building, the third overall pick,

879
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 2: and money to spend in free agency. So let's set

880
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: the table here with a general question of where do

881
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: you think the Patriots are at right now in their

882
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 2: off season responsibilities and what's coming up.

883
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're starting fresh here in New England. It's a

884
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 9: new day. And obviously the big change is Bill Belichick

885
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 9: has finally gone after twenty four years.

886
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 7: Drod Mayo's the new head coach.

887
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 9: Elliott wolf doesn't have the GM title, but he's in

888
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 9: charge of the front office now. And already we've seen

889
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 9: one big change. Well, we've seen two big changes. First

890
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 9: of all, they've been very friendly and nice to the media,

891
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 9: and they've given several press conferences and they haven't one

892
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 9: thing I appreciate about Elliott wolf and Drod Mayo's to

893
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 9: answer questions very directly and not everything's a stay secret

894
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 9: all the time. So obviously a big change from the Patriots,

895
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 9: a concerted effort to be friendlier, but football wise, Elliott Wolfe,

896
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 9: you know he's the son of legendary Hall of Fame

897
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 9: executive Ron Wolf. Elliott Wolf is from the Packers family.

898
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 9: He grew up around the Packers and worked there for

899
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 9: almost twenty years. He's now scrapped Bill Belichick's player grading

900
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 9: system and implemented the Packers system.

901
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 7: And so I think that what you're.

902
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 9: Going to see now from the Patriots are much more

903
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 9: normal decisions, certainly when it comes to the draft, than

904
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 9: what we're used to seeing. The Patriots under Belichick were

905
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 9: a team that was famous for going off the board

906
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 9: and drafting a safety in the second round that everyone

907
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 9: had raided as a fifth rounder, or you know what,

908
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 9: have you just very non traditional picks. Now you're going

909
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 9: to see the Patriots having their board aligned with other

910
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 9: teams boards and taking guys that just kind of fit

911
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 9: the value that the rest of the league sees. So

912
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 9: Elliott Wolf already making changes to the football operation.

913
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: Is there any way the Patriots don't take a QB

914
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,959
Speaker 1: at number three, or if they trade up or down?

915
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts?

916
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 9: I'd be surprised if they don't just sit there and

917
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 9: let the draft come to them and take It's not

918
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 9: the most thing inspiring plan to just take whichever quarterback

919
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 9: comes to you.

920
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 7: But I think you've got three.

921
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 9: Excellent quarterbacks in this draft, and I think the Patriots

922
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 9: would be happy to draft any of them. Certainly, there's

923
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 9: a case to be made that, you know, you could

924
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 9: take Marvin Harrison at three, try to get you know,

925
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 9: Michael Pennix, trade back into the end of the first round,

926
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 9: or they have the I believe, the thirty fourth pick

927
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 9: in the second round, or you know, if not Michael Pennix.

928
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 7: Certainly a case to be made for taking the elite

929
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 7: wide receiver first and then the quarterback. But I don't know.

930
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 9: I think this is the year where everyone kind of

931
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 9: consensus agrees that there's three excellent quarterback prospects in Caleb Williams,

932
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 9: Jayden Daniels, and Drake May.

933
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 7: My hunch is that it's Drake May.

934
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 9: It seems like Jayden Daniels is probably gonna go two

935
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 9: to Washington. That's at least what it seems right now.

936
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 9: And I think the Patriots absolutely should take Drake May.

937
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 9: You know, I don't know if he's a guy you

938
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 9: want necessarily playing on Day one. And I think the

939
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 9: Patriots are gonna be looking for a veteran quarterback here

940
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 9: in free agency to give themselves some more padding on

941
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 9: the depth charts. They don't have to play Drake May

942
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 9: right away and Elliott.

943
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 7: Wolf coming from the Packers.

944
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 9: That's a team that always, you know, sits their quarterbacks. Obviously,

945
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 9: what they do there in Green Bay is an extreme example.

946
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 9: But I think the Patriots, if they can find a

947
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 9: way to be a little patient with Drake May, you

948
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 9: know he's got he checks a lot of boxes the size, arm, strength, athleticism, maturity, leadership.

949
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 9: He supposedly did very well in those areas at the

950
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 9: combine in Indianapolis. So yeah, I mean the Patriots, they

951
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 9: almost can be paralyzed by their choices at number three

952
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 9: because there's so many different ways you can go with

953
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 9: that pick. But you don't get to pick this high

954
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 9: this often you don't know what the future of the

955
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 9: position is gonna hold.

956
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 7: I think they almost have to take a quarterback at

957
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 7: number three.

958
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: So if they decide to go with Drake May or whoever,

959
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: let's just say quarterback at that position, and they want

960
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: to give that quarterback some time to learn from a veteran,

961
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: who do you see filling in that void of the

962
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: veteran quarterback role?

963
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 9: Sure the name that I've heard and the one that's

964
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 9: getting a lot of buzz is Jakoby Brissett, and this

965
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 9: has kind of been his lot in the NFL now

966
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 9: for the last four or five years. He just kind

967
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 9: of wanders from team to team that doesn't have a

968
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 9: stable quarterback situation, and he's kind of like the bridge quarterback,

969
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 9: the glue quarterback, the guy that kind of keeps it

970
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 9: all together more or less.

971
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 4: You know.

972
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 7: Patriots offensive coordinator Alex van.

973
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 9: Pelt, you guys know obviously in Buffalo, he coached Forsett

974
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 9: in Cleveland in twenty twelve. Jacoby Brissett started eleven games

975
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 9: that year while Deshaun Watson was serving his suspension, and

976
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 9: Van Pelt loves Perset.

977
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 7: They love the fact that Brissett is all ball.

978
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 9: You know, He's exactly what they want out of a

979
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 9: leader as far as you know, a guy in the

980
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,959
Speaker 9: locker room with what's going to be probably a young team,

981
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 9: a lot of new faces, certainly on offense.

982
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 7: Jacoby's all business. He's all football.

983
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 9: Everywhere he goes his team, his teammates always love him,

984
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 9: his coaches love him. The performance is always a little

985
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 9: hot and cold, but i'd be I know they have

986
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 9: interest in Jacoby Rissett. I know other teams are going

987
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 9: to be interested as well, maybe the Bears, maybe the Broncos,

988
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 9: but I think the Patriots certainly have a lot of

989
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 9: interest in Jacoby Brissett.

990
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 5: You know.

991
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 9: After that, you know there's names like Josh Dobbs. He

992
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 9: was someone that Alex van Pelt coached in Cleveland. I

993
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 9: think maybe Ryan Tannehill might be a decent scheme fit

994
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 9: for what Van Pelt runs. The type of offense, a

995
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 9: lot of under center play action. But to me, I

996
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 9: think right now it kind of centers on Jacoby Brissett.

997
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 9: And there's also Bailey Zappi and Nathan Rourke. Nathan Rourke

998
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 9: a former CFL star who is now on a minimum contract,

999
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 9: and Bailly Zappi, he's still under contract for minimum dollars.

1000
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 7: You know, his four and four has proven he can

1001
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 7: play in this league.

1002
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,439
Speaker 9: I don't know if you should just be giving up cheap,

1003
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 9: productive backup quarterbacks like that. So, you know, it's still

1004
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 9: gonna the depth chart. There's still gonna be dependent on

1005
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 9: how they developed that first round pick. But if they

1006
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 9: can have Brissett and maybe Bailey Zappy, that might be

1007
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 9: enough to be able to sit that rookie sit Drake

1008
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 9: may for a year.

1009
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 1: And what about you know, the trade interest they've gotten

1010
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: about Mac Jones.

1011
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 7: I don't think it's much.

1012
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 9: There's just the demand is very little right now for quarterbacks,

1013
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 9: for these veteran type quarterbacks, and the supply is just

1014
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 9: out of control. There's so many of these veteran type

1015
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 9: quarterbacks available, you know, if you want to start with

1016
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 9: Russell Wilson and Justin Fields and Kirk Cousins and then

1017
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 9: Mac Jones and Sam Darnold and Jamis Winston and Ryan

1018
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 9: Tannehill and Jimmy Garoppolo and there's.

1019
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 7: Just a lot of these.

1020
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 9: And with so many quarterbacks in the draft this year,

1021
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 9: I think teams they want to see what happens in

1022
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 9: the draft first before they settle.

1023
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 7: On one of these veterans.

1024
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 9: I think the Patriots are probably it's a change of

1025
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 9: scenery trade with mac Jones. I still think he has

1026
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 9: a spot here in the NFL, but it's probably as

1027
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 9: a backup, and it needs to be somewhere else other

1028
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 9: than New England. It just didn't work out well for him.

1029
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 9: I could see him going to a team like San Francisco.

1030
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 9: I know Kyle Shanahan liked him a lot. Mac Jones

1031
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 9: is in the pre draft process back in twenty twenty one.

1032
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 9: If you're a team with Super Bowl aspirations, you could

1033
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 9: do worse than a guy with mac Jones who started

1034
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 9: a lot of games in the NFL and at least

1035
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 9: has some of that experience. So I think it might

1036
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 9: be slow going for the trade market, but eventually they'll

1037
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 9: probably just have to dump him for a Day three

1038
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 9: draft pick. And I do think that he could be

1039
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 9: a decent backup for a team that fancies itself a

1040
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 9: playoff team.

1041
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I could see him going

1042
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 2: somewhere like a Super Bowl contender. Like you said, I'm

1043
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 2: imagining the Mitch Trubisky reset that he did with the Bills.

1044
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 2: He came on for year as a backup quarterback and

1045
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 2: you know, was hoping to move on and get another

1046
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 2: chance at being the starting quarterback. Maybe that's a similar

1047
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: route that mac Jones takes. Decides to back up a

1048
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: quarterback for however many seasons, and maybe he gets an

1049
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: opportunity again.

1050
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 3: Down the road.

1051
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: Let's stick with quarterbacks, but go back to quarterbacks coming

1052
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: out of the college football league and heading into the

1053
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 2: NFL draft soon enough, it's not just the top three.

1054
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 2: There's a few more that will land with teams and

1055
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 2: is why this is such a quarterback heavy draft class.

1056
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 2: There's the JJ McCarthy's of the world, Bo Nicks, Michael Pennix.

1057
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 2: Where do you see these guys landing.

1058
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 9: It's possible that all six could end up going in

1059
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 9: the first round. Wow, just because of the scarcity of it. Now,

1060
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 9: I think Pennix and maybe bon Nicks maybe drop to

1061
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 9: the early second round. But all these guys are going

1062
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 9: to go within the top forty five fifty picks. You know,

1063
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 9: a young quarterback in today's NFL is like a lottery ticket.

1064
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 9: And you know, no one expected Jalen Hurts to be

1065
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 9: a superstar and Brock Purty and if you can hit

1066
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 9: on one of these guys, actually, you know from the

1067
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 9: late first on where.

1068
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 7: They're just such good value. They're so cheap.

1069
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 9: They're locked in to these contracts for four or five years.

1070
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 9: So you're gonna see the quarterbacks get over drafted. I

1071
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 9: expect quarterbacks to go one, two, three right now. It

1072
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 9: looks like it's gonna be Kayleen Williams to the Bears,

1073
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 9: Jaden Daniels to the Commanders, and then Drake Made to

1074
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 9: the Patriots. I'm looking at the Vikings right now. You know,

1075
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 9: if they lose Kirk Cousins to the Falcons, which is

1076
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 9: looking like it's a possibility, that puts the Vikings squarely

1077
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 9: in the quarterback derby.

1078
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 7: There's a whole bunch of teams in the teams.

1079
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 9: It's like the Vikings at eleven, the Broncos at twelve,

1080
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 9: the Raiders at thirteen. You know, even the Saints, I

1081
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 9: believe at fourteen. The Jets are in there. The jack

1082
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 9: not the jag Wars. The Saints and the Jets are

1083
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 9: in there, as well as teams that kind of down

1084
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 9: the road, the Seahawks. So's all, there's gonna be a

1085
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 9: lot of jockeying for these few quarterbacks, and you might

1086
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 9: have to trade some future picks or a second round pick.

1087
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 9: You know, I think the Raiders are pretty well position

1088
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 9: having thirteen and I think forty four in the second round.

1089
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 9: The Raiders clearly want one of these quarterbacks. The Broncos

1090
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 9: are gonna need some cheap young quarterbacks after paying Russell

1091
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 9: Wilson thirty nine million dollars to go away.

1092
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 7: Like I said, the Vikings.

1093
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 9: So there's a lot of teams that are gonna be

1094
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 9: jockeying for the second wave of these quarterbacks, and then

1095
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 9: I think you're gonna see that you're gonna have like

1096
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 9: a push up effect to the next wave of prospects

1097
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 9: into the third or fourth round. You know, it's a

1098
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 9: quarterback world in today's league, and this is just a

1099
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 9: really deep year for them, and next year.

1100
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 7: Is a little more uncertain.

1101
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 9: So I think you're gonna see teams maybe going a

1102
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 9: little bit all out to make sure they get.

1103
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 7: One of these guys.

1104
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna happen with Justin Fields

1105
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: in Chicago? Would seem to me the Patriots would be

1106
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: one of those teams that maybe could throw up enough

1107
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: assets to get him out of get Fields from Chicago

1108
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: if they liked him in that regard. Certainly they're not

1109
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna give up the number three pick of the draft

1110
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: to do it, or maybe you know, they're not gonna

1111
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: flip picks, or maybe they would.

1112
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts.

1113
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: On that in possibility and what Justin Fields brings to

1114
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: the table around the league?

1115
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 9: See One of the bigger surprises I ran into in

1116
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 9: the combine last week was that Justin Fields doesn't seem

1117
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 9: to have much of a trademarket right now, and it's

1118
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 9: I think it's the dynamic that I said before. Teams

1119
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 9: before investing in Justin Fields, who's entering the last year

1120
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 9: of his contract, you gotta pay him starting in twenty

1121
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 9: twenty five, or it's just a one year rental. They

1122
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 9: want to see if they can land JJ McCarthy or

1123
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 9: Poe Nicks. So I think Justin Fields and the Bears

1124
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 9: might have to be patient. You know, teams know that

1125
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 9: the Bears are in all likelihood drafting Kilean Williams and

1126
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 9: have to dump Justin Field. So I don't know how

1127
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 9: much realistically they're going to get for him, especially because

1128
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,919
Speaker 9: the contract, like I said, is up after this year.

1129
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 9: You either have to do a fifth year option or

1130
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 9: a new free agency deal or just have a one

1131
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 9: year rental. So, you know, Justin Fields the athleticism is

1132
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 9: off the charts, but he's missed more games to injury

1133
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 9: eleven than he has wins. He's ten twenty eight with

1134
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 9: the Bears, and I know the Bears they just have

1135
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 9: seemed frustrated that he hasn't progressed as a pocket passer

1136
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 9: and as a game manager. So you know, finding a

1137
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 9: landing spot for Him's gonna be tough like Atlanta seemed possible,

1138
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 9: but it seems like they want a more secure veteran

1139
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 9: like Kirk Cousins. They've been floundering with Desmon Rare. Or

1140
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 9: they want to go for it now and go get

1141
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 9: someone like Kirk Cousins. The Raiders would make some sense,

1142
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 9: but they hired Luke Getzi as they're offensive coordinator.

1143
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 7: He just came from Chicago. I don't think he's.

1144
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 9: Too interested in a reunion with Justin Fields, so like

1145
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 9: maybe New England, but I know Alex van Pelt. For

1146
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 9: what they want to run, I think they really.

1147
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 7: Are into Jacoby set per Sett and quarterbacks that are

1148
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 7: more under center. Maybe it ends up being the Steelers.

1149
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 7: He goes there and has.

1150
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 9: To compete, or maybe Justin Fields doesn't have a starting

1151
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 9: job next year. Maybe he just has to go somewhere

1152
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 9: and be a backup to someone with, you know, a

1153
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 9: shakier type of quarterback situation, like maybe the Saints. Maybe

1154
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 9: he goes in backs of Aaron Rodgers. I mean, you know,

1155
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 9: it's it's not looking great for Fields right now. Just

1156
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 9: like I said before, there's so many of these quarterbacks

1157
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 9: available that I think these teams are waiting to see

1158
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 9: if they can get the rookies first, and I'm not

1159
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 9: sure that Fields is going to have a seat at

1160
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 9: the table at the end of the day.

1161
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a little bit surprising to hear, but

1162
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 2: it does make sense. With how many quarterbacks will be

1163
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 2: available in this year's draft, you obviously want to go

1164
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 2: with cheap labor first. If you can, and if you

1165
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 2: truly believe in one of those quarterbacks and think that

1166
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 2: they can that he can be your franchise guy for

1167
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 2: the future, why not go there first and foremost instead

1168
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 2: of going to other players like Justin Fields and other

1169
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that are going to be available. Flipping to free agency,

1170
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: the Patriots placed the transition tag on safety Kyle Duggar.

1171
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: They have money to spend in free agency. Spot track

1172
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: is saying seventy eight million dollars of cap space is

1173
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 2: what they have right now. Where do you see this

1174
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 2: team going in free agency? Where are some of the

1175
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 2: holes on this roster. It's not like this team is

1176
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 2: just a quarterback away. They have some work to do.

1177
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: What do you think that work is?

1178
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 9: No, they have a lot of work to do, which

1179
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 9: is why you know a lot of people are saying

1180
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 9: they shouldn't get a quarterback with number three, they should

1181
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 9: just get the most talented player available.

1182
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 7: It seems not ready for a rookie quarterback.

1183
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 9: So hopefully they can be patient because the offense this

1184
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 9: year is definitely gonna be a working in progress. They

1185
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 9: need offensive tackles. Trent Brown is a free agent. Mike Onwenu,

1186
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 9: their guard, is a free agent, so I think they

1187
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 9: probably end up signing him. Hunter Henry their top tight end,

1188
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 9: he's a free agent.

1189
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 7: They don't really have a.

1190
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 9: Developmental tight end behind him. You know, wide receiver, they

1191
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 9: are going to bring back Juju Smith, Schuster and Devonte Parker,

1192
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 9: but there's a clear need there for wide receiver. Always

1193
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 9: need more running backs, so they need everything across the

1194
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 9: board on offense. That said, I think they're only going

1195
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 9: to be strategic. They might go out and sign a

1196
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 9: Calvin Ridley, they might fortify the offensive line, but it's

1197
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 9: not going to be this big spending spree. If anything.

1198
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 9: I think you know they're gonna spend. They're gonna resign

1199
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 9: Kyle Dagger. They already put the transition tag on him.

1200
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 7: They need to find a cornerback. They let go of

1201
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 7: BC Jackson.

1202
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 9: But this is a new day now, and this is

1203
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 9: the Packer way now in New England with Elliott Wolf

1204
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 9: kind of running a show. And the Packers were always

1205
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 9: a team that built organically through the draft, pay your

1206
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 9: own guys, draft and develop, draft, develop and retain. And

1207
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 9: that's gonna be a big thing that the Patriots got

1208
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 9: away from in the.

1209
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 7: Last five or six years under Belichick.

1210
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 9: The drafting wasn't that good and the players they did

1211
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 9: develop all went elsewhere in free agency. So I think

1212
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 9: this is starting fresh now. They've got some talent, some

1213
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 9: building blocks to start with. I think you really want

1214
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 9: to re sign, like I said, Kyle Dugger, Mike and WNU,

1215
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 9: probably receiver Kendrick Bourne, although he's coming off in acl

1216
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 9: Hunter Henry, So you want to maintain your guys. But

1217
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 9: then you got to start hitting in the draft and

1218
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 9: developing in the draft.

1219
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,479
Speaker 7: So they're gonna spend a little bit of money this year.

1220
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 9: I don't expect anything big because I think everyone there

1221
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 9: realizes this is a long, slow, multi year rebuild in

1222
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 9: New England, and I think in a perfect world they're

1223
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 9: going to try to not cut corners. And Robert Craft

1224
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 9: is very well aware that building through the draft is

1225
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 9: much more sustainable than trying to hit it page with

1226
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 9: a bunch of free agents. So you know, like I said,

1227
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 9: they'll sign a couple of players, but I don't think

1228
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 9: they're going to be major players in free agency.

1229
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: What do you think now for Patriot fan because we're

1230
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: sitting here at one Bill's Drive, you know, watching this team.

1231
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: What do Patriot fans expect this year? I mean, what

1232
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: are the realistic expectations are certainly other teams have we've

1233
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: seen turn it around pretty quickly, and with free agency

1234
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: and with you know, the kind of draft capital and

1235
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: the cap money that the Patriots are sitting on. How

1236
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: patient are people willing to be to wait if if

1237
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: they decide not to spend all of that money.

1238
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? What do they expect this season? Yeah?

1239
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 7: I think expectations are pretty low.

1240
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 9: You know, there was a a media company did a

1241
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 9: fan survey and it just came out and Patriots fans

1242
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 9: said they're the most popular prediction for them was six

1243
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 9: and eleven this coming season. And I think everyone realizes

1244
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 9: this is you're not rebuilding from the studs, but this

1245
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 9: team needs to be torn down and kind of start

1246
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 9: fresh after the Belichick era, you know, ended in i'd

1247
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 9: say pretty stale fashion the last year or two. And

1248
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 9: as look, expectations aren't high. You've got a rookie head

1249
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 9: coach who's only been an NFL a coach period for

1250
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 9: five years. Trod Mayo does not have a whole lot

1251
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 9: of experience. He was a great player and a very

1252
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 9: smart guy, but does not have a whole lot of

1253
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 9: coaching experience. You have a GM Elliott Wolf who's never

1254
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 9: had that role. The first time Alex Van Pelt the

1255
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 9: offensive coordinator. The only time he called plays was with

1256
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 9: you guys in two thousand and nine when he got

1257
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 9: the job right before the season, so he's in experienced.

1258
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 9: Their defensive coordinator, DeMarcus Comington, he's never done the job before.

1259
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 7: And then you're gonna have, you know.

1260
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 9: A roster with Drake may Or a rookie quarterback, and

1261
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 9: Jacobi Rissett. And there's you're not I quite sure the

1262
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 9: receivers are going to be I mean, it's going to

1263
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 9: take a couple of years for the Patriots to really

1264
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,479
Speaker 9: build back up and be a real competitive team again.

1265
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 9: Now you can still in today's NFL, you can still

1266
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 9: go from four win team to an eight win team.

1267
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 9: You can still kind of compete for one of those

1268
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 9: wild card spots in your first year while you're still rebuilding.

1269
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 7: But that's like the best case scenario for the Patriots.

1270
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 9: They have a lot of work to do, especially in

1271
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 9: rebuilding the offense and just in rebuilding the football operation

1272
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 9: in general and kind of bringing it more up to

1273
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 9: date now and more to reflect the realities of twenty

1274
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 9: twenty four. So I think Patriots fans are gonna be

1275
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 9: patient for at least one year, as long as they're

1276
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 9: respectable and they're not like a total clown show and

1277
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 9: they're inexperienced, you know, really.

1278
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 3: Comes through Ben.

1279
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 2: Last question for me Patriots, aside the Dolphins and the Jets,

1280
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 2: where do you think these two teams line up in

1281
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 2: being able to contend with the Bills this season.

1282
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 3: Or the Jets and the Dolphins.

1283
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 7: I'll go back to the Jets.

1284
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 9: I mean, I thought the Jets were gonna be great

1285
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 9: this last year and then Aaron Rodgers tears his achilles

1286
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 9: four more plays in this season. I think Rogers will

1287
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 9: be able to come back, should be close to his

1288
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:11,479
Speaker 9: former self.

1289
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 7: I know he'll be four years old.

1290
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 9: But will have had plenty of time to recover from

1291
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 9: that injury, and I still think he can be an

1292
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 9: elite player.

1293
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 7: They still have a lot of talent.

1294
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 9: They should have a very good defense, and the Jets

1295
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 9: always give the Bills problem. So I do think the

1296
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 9: Jets as long as Rogers can stay healthy and knock

1297
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 9: on Wood.

1298
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 7: Who knows if that can.

1299
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 9: Help it happen anymore. But I do think the Jets

1300
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 9: are gonna be back, and they're.

1301
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 7: Gonna be competitive this year, and.

1302
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 9: The Aaron Rodgers experiment will finally come to fruition. I

1303
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 9: like the Dolphins, but I feel like what they did

1304
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 9: last year is probably their plateau eleven and six flaming

1305
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 9: out in the wild card round.

1306
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 7: I like what they built.

1307
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 9: I just don't think they're a tough team when it

1308
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 9: comes you know, December and January football. They're a little

1309
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 9: bit too much of a finesse team for me. Still

1310
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 9: not a total believer in TUA. I mean, obviously they

1311
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 9: put up big numbers, but two years in a row

1312
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 9: now where they've kind of petered out, you know, in

1313
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 9: the tough.

1314
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 7: Weather games of December and January.

1315
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 9: So to me, it's still gonna be the Bill's division,

1316
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 9: even though they are gonna undergo some changes this year.

1317
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 9: The Jets will give them a run and the Dolphins

1318
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 9: will be there too. But that's kind of how I

1319
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 9: rank him right now.

1320
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: Ben, thanks for staying stopping by. Appreciate your time. Thanks

1321
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: for all your insights. We'll look forward to talking with

1322
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: you during the season or maybe later this offseason.

1323
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 7: Awesome, Thanks so much, guys.

1324
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Thanks Ben appreciated. That was Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.

1325
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 2: He's a senior NFL rider for them and has covered

1326
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 2: the NFL since two thousand and seven. Before we go

1327
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 2: to break, we wanted to talk about a trade that

1328
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 2: happened in the NHL, not the NFL. The Savers have

1329
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: traded forward Casey Middlesdat to the Colorado Avalanche for defenseman

1330
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 2: Bowen Byrom Steve, you're Sabers guy, You're at lots of games.

1331
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 2: Are you surprised by this trade?

1332
01:06:59,640 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 8: This?

1333
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: It's a good The Sabers are neck deep in good

1334
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: centers and they need a number one defenseman. Byron is

1335
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: certainly a candidate to be one of those guys. He's

1336
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: had some injury stuff in the past, but it's a

1337
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: good hockey trade. I think makes a lot of sense

1338
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons, and if both players reach

1339
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 1: their potential, I think both teams could be really happy.

1340
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 4: With the trade.

1341
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see how that unfolds as the

1342
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 2: Sabers move on in their season, the playoffs inching closer

1343
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 2: and closer, and it seems like they go on these

1344
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 2: quick runs and then they.

1345
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 3: Were aggressed a little bit.

1346
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was at the game. Yeah whatever, Yes, you're

1347
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 4: exactly right.

1348
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 2: We're hoping for something different this season and still hoping.

1349
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, still hoping they'll get there.

1350
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 3: They'll get there.

1351
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I am fully confident, fully confident. If not this year,

1352
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: then at some.

1353
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 4: Point we're going to get there.

1354
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: At some point, somebody in this organization is going to

1355
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: hoist the cup just like.

1356
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:57,439
Speaker 3: The Bills did.

1357
01:07:58,520 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 4: Will not yeat.

1358
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 3: The Bills were able to get things going, That's what

1359
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 3: I mean.

1360
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 2: Casey Middlestat was the eighth overall pick in the NHL

1361
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 2: Draft in twenty seventeen. So spend some time with the

1362
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 2: Sabers now heading to the Colorado Avalanche break time for us.

1363
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 3: When we return, we're.

1364
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 2: Gonna get into the tweet sheet and answer your questions.

1365
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 2: Answer the question of which AFC East team is the

1366
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 2: biggest threat to the Bills. Give us a call at

1367
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 2: a three to five fifty next. Here on One Bills

1368
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 2: Live were presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1369
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back into one Bills Live Matti Glab alongside of

1370
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:45,759
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker.

1371
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 3: Our question for you, which AFC East team is the biggest.

1372
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 2: Threat to the Bills. Let's go to our tweet sheet

1373
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: to read off some responses. Our tweet sheet is brought

1374
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

1375
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills. And first we'll go with

1376
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 2: Ben who says it's the Jets, whether we like it

1377
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 2: or not. New England is rebuilding and they will have

1378
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 2: a coach, a new coach and rookie quarterback. Miami is

1379
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: in cap hell and who knows what their defense will

1380
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 2: look like?

1381
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 1: And they could say the same thing about us. We're

1382
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: in cap jail and we've our defense is gonna look

1383
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: completely different. Safeties, both safeties may be gone, most of

1384
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: the defensive line will be gone. We'll have two key

1385
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: players too, all pros coming back off major injuries in

1386
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: Tredavious White, Matt Mulano. Yeah, that's it kind of looks

1387
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,640
Speaker 1: the same. Miami and the and the Bills look at

1388
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 1: the same. They've got their quarterback of the future, although

1389
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo's has performed a little better than theirs has in

1390
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: big games. Uh and he's won a lot more games,

1391
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: particularly in the head to head matchup. But it's amazing

1392
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: how different the perception is about the Miami Dolphins of

1393
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills because of the way they finished the season.

1394
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: Even though the Bills lost their last game to the

1395
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs here at home and all that stuff, Dolphins absolutely

1396
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: collapsed down the stretch.

1397
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 2: And they've been a team that's been known for and

1398
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 2: it's not just this past year, it's years past. They're

1399
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 2: not a team that travels well. They're not a team

1400
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 2: that can win in the cold games. Yeah, they play

1401
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 2: in the AFC, it's not a warm weather division.

1402
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 3: The team summer in January.

1403
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, Maddie, that the Dolphins even

1404
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: last year, and I think in a larger sense, I

1405
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: guess you'd have say during the Tua era, they don't

1406
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: beat good teams. They struggle against really good teams. Last

1407
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: year was you know, almost an exaggeration of that. And

1408
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: that's not where you want to be as a as

1409
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: a football team. The Bills played, and the Bills were

1410
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: opposite of that. They played really good against the good teams,

1411
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: and the bad teams are the teams with poor records.

1412
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: They kind of let off the gas. They didn't look good.

1413
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: So the Bills almost need to be like, you know,

1414
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: you got to catch their attention for them to play good.

1415
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: That's quite the opposite of where Miami is.

1416
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 2: In the last two seasons, the Miami Dolphins have been

1417
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 2: kicked out of the playoffs in the first round both

1418
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two a loss to the Bills and twenty

1419
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 2: twenty three a loss to the Chiefs. And let's continue

1420
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 2: with these responses. Jack says, it's still the Fishies. Well,

1421
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,719
Speaker 2: I think the Bills have the better quarterback and defense,

1422
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 2: those wide receivers, that speed, and that coach with his

1423
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 2: oddball plays can still blow open a game. That said,

1424
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 2: I still think will take their lunch money. It's an

1425
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 2: interesting conversation the speed, the wide receivers, how Mike McDaniel

1426
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 2: calls his offense, and how he has shaped his offense

1427
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 2: with the players that he's put inside of it. I

1428
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 2: think the speed has started to be a a point

1429
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 2: that while yes, it works, sometimes it's not going to

1430
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 2: win you every single game. You can't be a one

1431
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 2: trick pony in the NFL, and I think people want

1432
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 2: to see more out of the offense. They want to

1433
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 2: see some different pieces in it, not just the skinny,

1434
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 2: fast guys. They want to see bigger bodies in that

1435
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 2: offense that can stand an eighteen week season. When it

1436
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 2: comes to the Miami Dolphins and the players that they

1437
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 2: have in the offense, a lot of these guys are

1438
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 2: in and out of the lineups due to injury.

1439
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they struggle with that a little bit in Miami.

1440
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: I think I think he's right that there's no question

1441
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: you look at Miami and you got to feel like

1442
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,599
Speaker 1: they're really dangerous. Tyreek makes a big difference for them

1443
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: to His ability to get the ball out on time

1444
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: and accurately is a big difference maker. Waddle on the

1445
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: other side of Tyreek is a real problem. Balances their

1446
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: offense out very nicely. The Dolphins are dangerous. We saw

1447
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: it last year. If you don't show up ready to

1448
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: play defense against them, they're going to light it up.

1449
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: And that's why you know they did have that stretch

1450
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: of games in the beginning of the year last year

1451
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: where they looked unbeatable. But you do start to get

1452
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: a handle on what they're doing, and then you know

1453
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: they've got They didn't evolve fast enough to stay ahead

1454
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: of it, and certainly against good teams they seem to struggle.

1455
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of with you, Maddie, you need I

1456
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: think this is like we've been talking about here. If

1457
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna go the way the Miami Dolphins have now,

1458
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: the Bills are kind of forced to do because of

1459
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: their contract situation with all the guys on their defense,

1460
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 1: I think you where your strengths are. You got to

1461
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: make them stronger if you can. The Bills need a

1462
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver, to get one, make sure their offensive line

1463
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: stays healthy and keeps their depth. Makes you know you

1464
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: signed re signed David Edwards, you know that kind of thing.

1465
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: You trade Baits for a fifth rounder, you can probably

1466
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: replace him right away with a draft pick. All that

1467
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 1: stuff going on, So I still think we're in an

1468
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: arms race, and miamis a perfect example of why I

1469
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: believe that.

1470
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 2: Because of the opponents you're gonna play, Miami is still

1471
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 2: a good thing, still a good team. I think Miami

1472
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 2: is going to be a tough opponent against US as

1473
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 2: as they have been the last couple seasons. They just

1474
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 2: have not proven that they can win in the playoffs.

1475
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 2: They've been knocked out of the playoffs the last two

1476
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 2: years in the first round. They have their quarterback, they

1477
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 2: have their head coach. But if you keep getting knocked

1478
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,839
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs, so early changes are going to happen,

1479
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 2: all right, Colin says, maybe the Jets if Rogers is

1480
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 2: healthy and close to what he once was, but they

1481
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 2: could also be a train wreck.

1482
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure.

1483
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 2: I suppose you could say Miami, but it feels like

1484
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,640
Speaker 2: they could be taking a step or two backwards.

1485
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of where we're at today. I mean

1486
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people take this at face value. Right today,

1487
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's touching the Bills because of their offense,

1488
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: because of Josh. But when you look at what could

1489
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,680
Speaker 1: possibly happen if Aaron Rodgers comes back and looks, you know,

1490
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 1: like he's three quarters of what he wants was, He's

1491
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: still a two time, you know, four time MVP overall

1492
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: in his career. He can sling it the Patriots, who

1493
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,839
Speaker 1: just had been voll in on. They've got one hundred

1494
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: million dollars to spend in free agency and the draft

1495
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: at the number three overall, picking the draft full of

1496
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. So the Patriots have got to think they're

1497
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: going to take a step forward in some at least

1498
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: in some respects this season. But for right now, you're right,

1499
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: these are only threats. The Bills are still have to

1500
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: be considered the bully on the block because of Josh,

1501
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: because of Steph Diggs, because of the offensive line that

1502
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: they got returning the Shakir Cook, Kincaid Knox. I mean,

1503
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:51,919
Speaker 1: they're better offensively right now than anybody else in the division,

1504
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: including Miami, because of the offensive line. So yeah, that's

1505
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: why we asked this question today because right now the

1506
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: Bills are looking a little bit like the Kansas City Chiefs.

1507
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:10,520
Speaker 1: With the Raiders struggling, the Denver Broncos struggling, the Chargers struggling,

1508
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep up with this team. The only

1509
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: division in the AFC that really is competitive is the North,

1510
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: and that's because of Cincinnati, because of Pittsburgh, because of Cleveland.

1511
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Now that they've gotten out of the abyss that they

1512
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: were in for twenty years, right, and that's right Baltimore,

1513
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and it's you know, that's a competitive division. Everybody else,

1514
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the South stinks. So you know that the

1515
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs kind of at the head of

1516
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: their class and their divisions. It kind of it worked

1517
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: out that way. And the South, I mean, you know,

1518
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: it's like who cares and then the North You're gonna

1519
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: get beat up bad during the regular season. If you're

1520
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 1: gonna win that division. It's going to be a tough

1521
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: row to hoe. So I I it's a very small

1522
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: group of teams at the top of the conference, and

1523
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,799
Speaker 1: the AFC East is still chasing Buffalo.

1524
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 2: Bruce Nolan says the Dolphins they have the second best

1525
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 2: quarterback in the division based on the last two years,

1526
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 2: a good head coach, an aggressive GM and owner. It'll

1527
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 2: be Miami until something else changes. In my opinion, I'm

1528
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 2: kind of of the same opinion. They they're the proven

1529
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 2: next team next to the Bills. They contended with the

1530
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: Bills this past season, so did the Jets. But the

1531
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 2: Dolphins with where with where they're at with their roster.

1532
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 3: They have the better team.

1533
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right next to the Jets.

1534
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Till because Aaron Rodgers couldn't take snaps today, right, I mean,

1535
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: he's not even healthy yet. So I'm you gotta go

1536
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins if you're on that mindset, because everything

1537
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: in the in the Patriots is maybe what are they

1538
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna do? The Dolphins are sitting there with Tua and

1539
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Tyreek and Jalen Waddle and up until yesterday when they

1540
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,759
Speaker 1: released him, they had some pretty good players on defense.

1541
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: So but you look at the Jets. Their defense is

1542
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: as good as, if not the best defense in the

1543
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: division today and they got that guy coming back to

1544
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 1: play quarterback. How good he's going to be is the

1545
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: question on what you got to get your mind around.

1546
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: If he comes back and is good, it's the Jets

1547
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: all day.

1548
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting answer in something that we talked about

1549
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 2: earlier in the show. With the potential that a certain

1550
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 2: team has, Jack says, by far, the New England Patriots

1551
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 2: are the biggest potential obstacle a free agent signing of

1552
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 2: a quarterback such as Cousins or Fields, and then draft

1553
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 2: three third overall pick and pick up a top wide

1554
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 2: receiver in Marvin Harrison Junior. They are set to be

1555
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 2: the number two team in the AFC East The Patriots

1556
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 2: are a team with a lot of potential. They have

1557
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 2: money to spend this offseason if they choose to do so,

1558
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 2: and they have power in the NFL Draft with that

1559
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 2: third overall pick.

1560
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 4: That's a game changer that pick.

1561
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: If they had Brady, this is back in the old days,

1562
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: they'd be taking Marvin Harrison Junior all day. Uh.

1563
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 4: I don't.

1564
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they do now, you know, I think

1565
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: they're going to take a quarterback, one of the quarterbacks

1566
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: that are left and and that.

1567
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 4: But that's all potential, you know.

1568
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: I think as it sits today, it's got to be

1569
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Miami because of the uncertainty about Aaron Rodgers being forty

1570
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 1: years old and coming off in Achilles, not.

1571
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 2: An easy injury to recover from. We have a player

1572
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 2: in the building right now who's trying to recover from

1573
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 2: that injury in Tradevious White. And when we ask for

1574
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 2: updates from Brandon Bean about Matt Milano and Trudevius White,

1575
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 2: there still is no set timeline of when these guys

1576
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 2: are going to return. Brandon Bean did say for Matt

1577
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 2: Milano he's hoping to see him back by training camp

1578
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 2: and thinks he will be working off to the side

1579
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 2: once the team gets into OTA's and mandatory mini camp.

1580
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 2: But they're in the building, they're working hard, they're doing

1581
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 2: what they can right now to become as healthy as

1582
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:10,679
Speaker 2: possible ahead of the twenty twenty four season. Talking about

1583
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 2: the Patriots and what they can do, this is a

1584
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 2: team who you draft a quarterback, you get something in

1585
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 2: free agency, or if they decide to go with a

1586
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 2: wide receiver and a veteran quarterback, then you have some

1587
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 2: potential right there.

1588
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they go, if they draft, if they get

1589
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: a chance and they draft Marvin Harrison. You're talking about

1590
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots right, Yes, Marvin Harrison Junior at the third picket.

1591
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: Because they've signed like what Ryan Tannehill. Sure, then I

1592
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 1: think immediately they expectations raise more because whatever Ryan you

1593
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: think about Ryan Tannehill, the guy has played quarterback for

1594
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,799
Speaker 1: a long time in the league and.

1595
01:20:58,720 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 4: Gives you something.

1596
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: But that's a pretty important position to go, Ryan Pittannehill

1597
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: will play better faster than whoever they draft in that

1598
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: spot in this draft at quarterback.

1599
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,799
Speaker 2: So it's interesting and according to Ben Volen, it seemed

1600
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 2: like if they do decide to draft a quarterback, they

1601
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 2: would like that quarterback to spend a season not being

1602
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 2: the starter learning under a veteran. Jacobe Burssett was a

1603
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 2: name that was thrown out there. Do they decide to

1604
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 2: go after a bigger name, veteran quarterback who can teach

1605
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: a new rookie quarterback. And it also seems like Elliott Wolf,

1606
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 2: who is the GM without the GM name, who will

1607
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 2: be making decisions as it pertains to the NFL draft

1608
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 2: and free agency. Ben Voln is saying, it seems like

1609
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: this will be a team who starts to do things

1610
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 2: similar to how other successful teams operate, coming from a

1611
01:21:55,880 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 2: packer style of operating in the off season and not

1612
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 2: having strange draft picks of guys drafted in the second

1613
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 2: round that should have gone off the board in the

1614
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 2: fifth round. So maybe we look back at the NFL

1615
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 2: Draft and say, Wow, the Patriots really hit that draft.

1616
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't think there's gonna be too much

1617
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: head scratching after this draft for the Patriots like there.

1618
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 4: Has been in the past.

1619
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 2: The AFC East an interesting division. A couple seasons ago,

1620
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 2: all these teams were fighting with each other. Now it

1621
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 2: looks like there's some question marks surrounding some of these

1622
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:35,759
Speaker 2: teams and the Dolphins, the Patriots, the Jets, and even

1623
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 2: the Bills, and what they have to do this offseason,

1624
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 2: what they have to do in the next couple of

1625
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,440
Speaker 2: weeks to fill in some big holes.

1626
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 3: That are on the defense. Break time for us.

1627
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 2: When we return, we're gonna be closing up shop here

1628
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. Were presented by Clyde Health on

1629
01:22:50,640 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio.

1630
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 3: All right, we're back here on One Bill's Live.

1631
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 2: Our question for you today, which AFC East team is

1632
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 2: the biggest.

1633
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 3: Threat to the Bills.

1634
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 2: We're rounding out our tweet sheet, and Josh says, the

1635
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 2: team that has been there and had the lead in

1636
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 2: the AFC East the past two seasons, the Dolphins. Give

1637
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 2: me the Jets coming in last again this year.

1638
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 3: That's a little bit of a hot time.

1639
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't last this year. The Patriots were last

1640
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: this year. Maybe means a different year than this last year,

1641
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: but I would agree with all of that.

1642
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 3: Do you think the Jets could come in last this year?

1643
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 4: No, I'm about the Dolphins.

1644
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are the team today as we speak today

1645
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 1: in March sixth. Yeah, I think it's the Dolphins all day.

1646
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: Too many questions marks about the health Aaron Rodgers. How

1647
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: he's going to come back. He's forty years old. He's

1648
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 1: already been proven to be fragile. Their defense certainly is legitimate,

1649
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: but we have yet to see do anything enough, however,

1650
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 1: to bolster an offensive line that absolutely stunk last year.

1651
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 2: Miami finished the season eleven and six. The Jets finished

1652
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 2: the year seven and ten. The New England Patriots in

1653
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 2: last with a four and thirteen record. Butch says New

1654
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 2: York Jets because they did early. What Buffalo has to

1655
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 2: do now build with young players through the draft and

1656
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 2: build the future of your franchise from your draft picks

1657
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 2: and undrafted free agents. It's an interesting point. The Jets

1658
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 2: have built through the draft in the last few years.

1659
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 2: They have had good drafts in the last few seasons,

1660
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 2: and the Bills are a team that does not have

1661
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 2: a lot of money to spend in free agency.

1662
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 3: They need to flip.

1663
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 2: To doing things through the draft and getting a lot

1664
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 2: out of those draft picks right away.

1665
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a thing.

1666
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: You if you can get franchise your undrafted rookie free agents,

1667
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: you're good.

1668
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 4: You know, we'll see him do.

1669
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 3: That, all right.

1670
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 2: Chris Brown returns tomorrow we will be back from one

1671
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 2: to three. Join us on Weinbell's Live on Thursday, Many
