1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: player for you. Stout Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: in the stragedyre of normalcy. All right, here we go.

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: It is a Wednesday. It is one Bill's Live, Chris Brown,

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you ready to rock and roll. Plenty

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: of Bill's coverage coming your way. Sean McDermott already addressed

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: the media last hour. Steve and I were there for that.

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: We'll bring you some of his more poignant comments in

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: a little bit here. Josh Allen also scheduled to talk today.

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we are on standby right

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: now because as soon as he gets going, we will

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: turn things over to Josh and let him address questions

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: from the media for you to listen to as well.

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: And the second hour of the program, we're expecting GM

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean to address the media as well in what

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: will amount to the pre draft press conference. It's a

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: good show today, more of them, less of us, well sure,

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: and there is also some Seis mcnews once again at

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position this offseason, and it deals with

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: forty nine ers wide receiver. Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel, Terry McLaurin,

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: and A. J. Brown are three receivers who are entering

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: the final years of their contracts and after seeing the

24
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: money that got shelled out for the likes of Tyree Hill,

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, and most recently Stefon Diggs, these guys have

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: come to the realization that in the new wide receiver

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: market they are grossly underpaid and Deebo Samuel, according to

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: multiple reports, now has gone so far as to say

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: I want to be traded. He has formerly asked the

30
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, according to reports, for a trade. Now,

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: according to NFL Network Scene in Rapaport, money is not

32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: at the root of the issue. Apparently it has more

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: to do with how he is utilized by the forty

34
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: nine ers. As we know, he does just about everything

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: for them, but he's often put in harm's way when

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: he's used in a running back fashion, you know, as

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: a jet sweep guy out of the backfield, things like that.

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: So maybe he is thinking about career longevity here and

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't want to be a multifaceted weapon anymore,

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: or I don't know, maybe he's getting an inkling they're

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna do it more of that and less of the

42
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver thing. You know, that could be it. He

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to go there, right, I'm a wide receiver.

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to be a Yeah, if you're talking

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: to even paycheck and brutality of your position wide receivers,

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: I'll just exactly, wide receivers a cake walk compared to

47
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: running back. You're not pass protecting as a running back,

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: You're not getting you know, you're not running up into

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: between the tackles as a As a wide receiver, you're

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: not you're not pass protecting as a wide receiver, all

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So I get all that, and I

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: would say two. You know, he's been talking to Kyle

53
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: Shanahan and some of the things, sees what's going on

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: around the building. He's probably getting an inkling that there's

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: going to be more of him carrying the ball out

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: of the backfield, getting it handed to him instead of

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: thrown to him. And he's saying, you know what, I'm

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: I just assume not do that, And I feel, well,

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: he's probably yeah, he's well, first of all, Number one,

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: the way they utilize him, he's in harm's way a

61
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: little bit more than the regular, like Stefan Diggs does

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: not endure the punishment that Deebo Samuels handing him the ball. Yeah,

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean really in a lot. I mean to a

64
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: great degree. And so I get where he's coming from

65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: because he's saying to himself, Stefan Diggs, Davante Adams, they're

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: strictly wide receivers and they're getting twenty four twenty five

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. They don't do anything else. They're

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: asking me to do everything here, I'm girls through the

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: underpaid just as a receiver. Why am I going to

70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: endure all this extra punishment and get paid less than

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: half the money per year. I'm gonna be out of

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the league. I'm gonna be out of the league with

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: half the money these guys have. I want to be

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: a receiver only, and if you don't want to do that,

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: san Franz ABC later he has a point, in my opinion,

76
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: he's got a real point. Yeah, you're shortening his career

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: the way his career. Yeah, we're for a guy like that.

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: His career has got to be his top priority. And

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: he's got a point. Um. Now he's also one of

80
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: the most valuable offensive players in the league. I mean,

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: the Niners would have been dead in the water without him,

82
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: They would not have been any good. They wouldn't have

83
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: gotten they would not have gotten to the championship game

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: last year without Deebo Samuel period. Yeah, he was a

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: difference maker for them. So he's got a point. And

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna renegotiate your Connor, you got all these

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: guys sitting out a j browndown in Tennessee, all these

88
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: guys you know, rymc Terry McLaurin, they're all you know,

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: playing the diva card. Debo's got a got a real

90
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: beef because he's being asked not just to play wide receiver,

91
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: but to carry the entire offense as the guy who

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: touches the ball as much as any quarterback does. I mean,

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: the guy's getting the ball all the time. So he's

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: he really does have a point. You can see it too.

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: And for him, and I think his I think his representation,

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: who if they're in on this is they're doing the

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: right thing because you gotta do it now, you gotta

98
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: do it now. I mean, now is the time for him.

99
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you though, And we're We talked about

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: this on the show yesterday. The ripple effect is probably

101
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: going to impact cornerback and paying cornerbacks stupid money pretty soon. Here.

102
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: I mean, cornerback, as we said yesterday, is already a

103
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: premium position where you're paying guys a lot per year

104
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: average annual value. It's in the top five of positions

105
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: in the league. Now you're throwing all this money at receivers.

106
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: Teams are gonna have to throw money at corners to

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: cover these guys. But I think more importantly the balance

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: here going forward. And I realize the cap is going

109
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: up significantly next year and probably the year after that

110
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and so on. But I don't know how you're gonna

111
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: do this. Yeah, down the road here, Steven, here's why

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: you're already in the upper echelon of salary structure with

113
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks forty five million a year, et cetera, et cetera. Okay,

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: it's the quarterback. Teams understand it. They work around it.

115
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Whatever toughest position in sports you can't keep. You can't

116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: get up there with other positions. You're already a thirty

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: million a year for a receiver. Well, here's the thing,

118
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: where's that going in two years. Yeah, you're right, Brownie,

119
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: you can't. But you're also going to get to a

120
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: point where there's gonna be teams that say, listen, we're

121
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: not gonna do that because if it throws our cap

122
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: out of work, we're gonna get some value somewhere else.

123
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Teams will adapt to that. It'll be interesting to see

124
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: because think about it, particularly in these last couple of drafts,

125
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: you can get really good wide receivers on rookie deals. Yea,

126
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: in every draft. Corners not so much, Quarterbacks not so much,

127
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: but there are other There are plenty of wide out Cigary,

128
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: every team's got three, right, I mean, and they'd like

129
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: you go down the list of teams. They're saying, hey,

130
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: who's gonna stop this offense? And it's like, you know,

131
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: it's a Cleveland Browns or the Denver Bronk. You know, yeah, Okay.

132
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: But I think because of the plentiful nature of how

133
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: many wide receivers you've got in the league who can

134
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: really play, it's gonna go to the same way with corners.

135
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Kids are gonna start playing corner more. Now it might

136
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: not be in the next couple of years, but corners

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: are gonna start having to keep pace, and teams are

138
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to adapt to it. And that doesn't mean

139
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna pay guys. They're gonna have to pay three

140
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: corners thirty million bucks a year, twenty five million bucks

141
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: a year. They can't do that either. Oh, and that's

142
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: and that's the rub here, because you can't pay everybody.

143
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: And I think i'm telling you right now, the Chargers

144
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: who have Mike Williams a twenty million a year and

145
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen it's somewhere around eighteen million a year. That

146
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: might be the last NFL team we see with two

147
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: receivers getting paid top fifteen wild now it's probably top

148
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: twenty money. Teams are be able to do that if

149
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: you have a franchise quarterback and a true number one receiver.

150
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: You're talking about seventy five million dollars in your cap

151
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: on two guys. Yeah, it's you can't have a number

152
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: two that you're paying more than eight nine million a year.

153
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: You can't do it. That's right, that's right, and it's

154
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna be and you know, I see it it. Teams

155
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: are gonna have to start playing playing a little hard

156
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: ball because good luck with that, because there's always gonna

157
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: be a team. I mean, there's always gonna be in

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. When a Kansas City Chiefs doesn't want to

159
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: pay that, right, you're gonna have teams that are gonna

160
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: have to suck it up and pay it, or there's

161
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody else who will. And even so, you know,

162
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the money's finite, and it's teams are gonna have some

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: hard decisions to make. It's gonna be all about, is

164
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: what it's always been about, finding guys who can play

165
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: for less money and getting them to play for less money,

166
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the next step here, because what's

167
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: interesting about this situation with San Francisco is their first

168
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: pick in the draft is pick sixty one, right at

169
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: the end of round two. Yeah, and you should get

170
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: a one for Deebo Samuel. I don't even think that's

171
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: an issue. You will get a one for him, maybe

172
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: some more in addition to that, I mean the guys

173
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: already it's already being it's already being reported now by

174
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Tim Kawakami, who's out on the West coast. Yeah, he

175
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: covers the Niners. Yeah, he covers them. Any possible wide

176
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: receiver trade talk around the draft is centered around the

177
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. They hold the third and the thirteenth picks

178
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: in the first round. The thirteenth seems like it's like

179
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: one of the conversations you know, and include that would

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: be have to be included in any Deebo Samuel's talk.

181
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: Then again, yeah, maybe the Houston Texans will be in

182
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: on Deebo Samuels. They'll bring him in, put him in

183
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: there with Davis Mills and give and get and give

184
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: one of the like the thirteenth pick or whatever, one

185
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: of the picks two to San Francisco plus whatever other compensation.

186
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: But they still gotta pay him. They still got to

187
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: pay him. And you know, it's interesting if the ripple

188
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: effects of this are unbelievable because of the cap. Now, certainly,

189
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: you know you can push cap problems down the road,

190
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: but sooner or later you're gonna get they're gonna catch

191
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: up to you. And I just I still think that

192
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: if you've got a guy who's hitting it out of

193
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: the park at one position, think about how tough it's

194
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna be to defend these guys When you got all

195
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: these receivers making this money and you got a cornerback

196
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: out there one good, Quintus. You got a tradevious White

197
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: outre who's one hundred percent healthy, playing like an all pro.

198
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: She's still got two other receivers on, you know, on

199
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: the other side that are lining up there every play.

200
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: You got to line up some guys against them, and

201
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: they gotta be quality guys. They've got to be quality guys. Plus,

202
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: with the rules the way they are, the wide receivers

203
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: can move around and they can dictate whatever matchup they can.

204
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: They can put Trey White and you can have Trey White.

205
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: Because of the way the offense shifts and motions, they'll

206
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: have Trey White Garden nobody and their top flight wide

207
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: receivers are going against whoever you managed to fit under

208
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: your cap. That's a real problem. I can really foresee

209
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: a time in this league where there are gonna be

210
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: some teams who go by the philosophy of I'm gonna

211
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: have a half a dozen top of the market all

212
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: world players at quarterback, defensive end, wide receiver, corner, you know,

213
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle, and then everybody else is gonna be

214
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: guys and everybody else, yeah, middle of the road guys

215
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: to bottom of the roster guys, and we'll see how

216
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: well we do with that, and some might be successful,

217
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: some may not. Now, the two teams that are being

218
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: talked about the most in terms of having interest in

219
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, as Steve mentioned, are the Texans. The other

220
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: team is the Jets. Now, the Jets have picked four

221
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: and ten. The Texans have picks three and thirteen. So

222
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: what gets it done is the question here. It's interesting

223
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: because I'm the If I'm the Jets or the Texans,

224
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: I would prefer to give up the lower of the

225
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: two ten or the thirteen. Yeah, no question. You can't

226
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: get a top five pick for Deebo Samuels. Just not

227
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: gonna do it because there's too many players who can

228
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: walk in and think about it. You know, I can.

229
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: The Jets aren't gonna give the four pick, and the

230
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: Texans aren't going to give the three pick for Deebo

231
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Samuel's because of this, they could get Sauce Gardner, or

232
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: they could get one of these other guys that's gonna

233
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: get another receiver, and they're gonna get them for a

234
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: third of the money. Right. That's the other thing, because

235
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: you're not only getting Deebo Samuel. Now you gotta pay debos. Ye,

236
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: You're getting his paycheck and he's gonna be looking for

237
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: somewhere between oh, I don't know, twenty seven and thirty

238
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: million a year, right, that's right? Um, this is worthy.

239
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: An amazing thing to me is there is enough interest

240
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: in a receiver in an era where you can get

241
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: a receiver in the draft. Do you know what I mean? Like,

242
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: it is amazing to me that you got a team

243
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: like the Jets of the attack. They're like, oh, what

244
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: do we gotta pay twenty seven million for debo? Okay?

245
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Oh a first round okay? Oh you want me to

246
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: throw a four in? Also, yeah, we'll do that. I

247
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: mean where the Dolphins do five picks? Yeah, right for

248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hill? Like I mean Tyreek Hill's dynamic, don't

249
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but holy crap, Like, yeah, see that's straight.

250
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: You just said it five minutes ago, Steve, you said

251
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: receivers you can get him every year in the draft. Yeah.

252
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: Why are these people bending over backwards for these guys? Well,

253
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing you and we've we've seen it, said it.

254
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: I was talking to you about this yesterday. First round

255
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: draft picks, particularly top ten picks. These guys, they get it.

256
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: They're coin flips. And I saw a tweet and I

257
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: can't remember who it was. Yesterday, Josh Allen goes sixth

258
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: in the draft, seventh in the Devil. He's the seventh

259
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: pick of the draft. And one of the people who

260
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: follow the Bills tweet he goes, I said it five

261
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: years ago, and I'll stick by another And I don't

262
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: know if he said it or where. He just made

263
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: it up, and he was right. If you took Josh

264
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: Allen and the six guys who were taking ahead of him,

265
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: you could take all six and nobody, nobody would take

266
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: those six players instead of one Josh Allen right now. Also,

267
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: that includes se Quon Barkley's really the hallmark guy in

268
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: that group. Sa Quon Barkley's the only guy all six

269
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: of the guys taking ahead of Josh Allen the top

270
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: of the draft. You'd take Josh ahead of all of

271
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: them at this point. So you got Deebo Samuels. The

272
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: one thing you do, you trade for Deebo Samuel or

273
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: trade for these guys. You know you're getting a guy

274
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: you're not gonna You're not gonna get one of these guys.

275
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: Who's a top five pick. And who was that again?

276
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: Five years ago they took You don't even remember their names.

277
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: This is why it's it's a coin flint, I know,

278
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: but this is why it's so backwards to me. Like

279
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, for example, Okay, I know they want to

280
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: make it work with two. I get it. So you're

281
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: trying to get him another weapon. But are they really

282
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: one Tyreek Hill away from contending for a Super Bowl?

283
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: They're not, I get it. I mean the Texans are

284
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: they a Deebo Samuel away from They're not even a

285
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel away from making the playoffs? Yeah, And the

286
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: Jets are they a Deebo Samuel away from being a

287
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: playoff team? Get the hell out of here. You're right,

288
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: what are they doing? That's right? You don't do those

289
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't think you do those games. But

290
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: here I'll say this though too, And and you know

291
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: it as well as I do, Brownie, particularly with a

292
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: team like Miami. And I don't know what the guy's

293
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: in Houston, the guy in Houston's and Cal is now

294
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: Cal McNair's new. We don't know that much about him.

295
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: It's the owner that comes in and says, yeah, i'd

296
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: like that guy. Get him I'll pay him. And the football,

297
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: the pop football people might be going, yeah, he's a

298
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: good player, But we're we're sitting a three pick of

299
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: the draft. We're gonna get like Sauce Gardner, We're gonna

300
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: get anybody. We're gonna get a guy. We're gonna get

301
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: the best offensive tackle to come out, that kid, Evan Neil.

302
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in a Hall of Fame. Not to

303
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: mention the fact that you know, our college scouting department

304
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: has fifteen receivers that believe that they believe can help

305
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: us this year, right, and we're gonna pay them, like,

306
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: like I said, a third, a pittance, a third of

307
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: the money this guy's gonna get. And so that's when

308
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: that's when you know, that's when the Jets are gonna

309
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: be the Jets like they we we got we got

310
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: on a we got on a conversation or to day

311
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: about the first round draft picks of the Jets going back,

312
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: the NFL Network did a thing on them where they

313
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: took Kyle spn has put together the best backage ever,

314
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: the like they go year by year by year by year.

315
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: And I know, and I was telling Steve, I know

316
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people I know this because I lived it,

317
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: I watched it unfold. Um everybody talks about the Kyle

318
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: Brady pick, you know, the tight end that they took

319
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: instead of Warren Sap, and everybody was talking about um

320
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Blair Thomas, which really the guy was a victim of circumstance.

321
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: He blew out his knee his rookie year. He was

322
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: never the same second pick overall running back at a

323
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: Penn State. The one that takes the cake for me

324
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: more than any of the others is the fact that

325
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, in good conscience, well maybe not

326
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: in good conscience, drafted a fullback in round one. Roger Vick.

327
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: I think it was Texas A and m a fullback

328
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: in round one. It's got to be the first time

329
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: it's ever happened, maybe since like nineteen fifty, when the

330
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: fullbacks were the main ball carriers, you know, like Marion Motley.

331
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, that's probably the last fullback drafted in round one,

332
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: Marion Motley, you know what I mean, Roger vic that's

333
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: the coup de grad that is, that is the cherry

334
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: on the top of the New York Jets draft history,

335
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: along with Johnny Lamb Jones, and a whole bunch of

336
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: other guys. It is an embarrassment of the draft process

337
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 1: what the Jets have done. Say, are you saying that

338
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: they they should alleviate that problem and just trade for DeVos?

339
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Forget it, right, the regular that's what you get. You're

340
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna miss it on debo. You're right, you're gonna get

341
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: a guy that you know can play at this level.

342
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: I know, but what's he doing winning your two extra games?

343
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: So now you're seven and ten? Instead of how much

344
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: how much is this offensive tackle? How many games he

345
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna win for you? How much is any player gonna

346
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: win for you know? At least you get a guy

347
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: that gets you better, he's got some credibility, and you

348
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: still have another first round draft pick you got you

349
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: got the number four pick, if you give him the

350
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: ten pick, you got the three pick, or if you

351
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: give him the thirteen pick if you're the Houston Texans.

352
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: So you know you can make that deal. And that's

353
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why it's gonna cost you more money, absolutely,

354
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: no question about it. But you're not gonna miss You're

355
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: not gonna with right, Yeah, this is I wonder this

356
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: isn't like Josh Rosen. The funny thing here that I

357
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: wonder about is you see these gms moving heaven and

358
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Earth to land a number one wide out and I'm

359
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: wondering if they're taking a page out of Brandon Bean's

360
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: book based on how it went here with Diggs and Allen,

361
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: because it could not have gone any better. And we

362
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: always talk about how it's a copycat league on the field,

363
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: This is a copycat league in the front office. I

364
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: think sometimes it is. Yeah, but here's the thing. We've

365
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: seen it. I mean, you and I know, we all

366
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: lived through the two decades that ran up to the

367
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott Brandon Bean era or we were there, and

368
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: it's yeah, okay, so you got this number one wide

369
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: receiver and you got a you it's not those guys

370
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: wherever two they are you pick them. It's not Josh

371
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: Allen and it ain't Steph Diggs. Those two guys are

372
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: different than the two guys who whatever, two guys you pick, Yeah,

373
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: and that make and so is Sean McDermott different than

374
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: the guy you got coaching, and Brandon Bean's different. All

375
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: that's and all the guys around them are. It's all different.

376
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: You're not picking. You know, cans of paint. They're all different,

377
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, and you know like if you can two, Yeah,

378
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: you go to the store. If you get a can

379
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: of paint and you're not that Canna paint's not gonna

380
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: be that. You just grab another Canna paint the same color. Yeah,

381
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: same company, it's same cold of the same paint. It's

382
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: not that way with NFL. Your number one receiver is

383
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: different than that number one receiver they've got. And your

384
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: quarterback pulling the trigger is different than that quarterback pulling

385
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: the trigger. It's not like that. So yeah, it's a

386
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: copycat league. Yeah, wake up. These guys are living, breathing

387
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: human beings that you know. They're different. They're all different.

388
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here because we hope

389
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: to have Josh Allen addressing the media in due course.

390
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: So we'll take a break now so when he does

391
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: step to the microphone, we're ready to bring that to

392
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: you back in a moment. Here on One Bill's Live,

393
00:20:47,680 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: presented by KILLI to Help. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

394
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: welcome back to One of Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve

395
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: Casper with you, and as promised, Josh Allen is addressing

396
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: the media here on day two of the start of

397
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: the offseason conditioning program. So let's get to Josh, now,

398
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: how that all came about for you and what you're

399
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: thinking about it. Well, I'm excited. I love golf, I

400
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: love competition, and you're gonna be teaming up with Pat

401
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: against two of the greatest quarterbacks ever played the game.

402
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a pretty fun competition for us.

403
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: Looking forward to it, and it seemed time I'm gonna

404
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: do some cool donation stuff with it, and jumped at

405
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: the opportunity when I was asked, well, I mean, I

406
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: think this thing's been going for a few years now,

407
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: and I think people really just you know, people want

408
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: to watch not just professionals play golf. You know, when

409
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: you throw out some amateurs and get to watch them golf,

410
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: I think it's it relates to people and again to

411
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: get out there and talk some some smack to Aaron

412
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: and Tom Um. People are gonna love that and I'm

413
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: gonna love doing it, you know. So I'm excited for

414
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Gosh called aside, how do you now approach

415
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: this offseason? It's the first I mean, Brian Dables no

416
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: longer here, and how do you now approach that in

417
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: your first offseason in which you're familiar with the new

418
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. It's the first time you've had a new

419
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: coordinator during your anthology. Yeah, I think the big takeaway

420
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: that I've gotten already is just asking as many questions

421
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: as possible during these meetings that we're having now, trying

422
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: to get on the same page, understand what he's thinking,

423
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: why he's calling a certain play. And I think that's

424
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: why me and Dave's had, you know, such a such success.

425
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: It was just I understood why he was calling plays,

426
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: he understood the concepts I liked I didn't like. So

427
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: having that open line of communication with Dorsey, and Dorsey's

428
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: not Dave, Daves is Endorsey. He's his own man. He's

429
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: going to have his own wrinkles to this offense, and

430
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he can do. He's he's

431
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: worked his tail off to get to the position where

432
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: he's at right now, you know, But asking those questions

433
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: and having that open line of communication of hey, I

434
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: don't I don't really like this concept and this and that,

435
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: and for the most part, he knows that because he's

436
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: been around you know me for three years and vice versa,

437
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: and Um, I'm looking forward, you know, to being able

438
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: to run some plays that he's calling. And uh, you know,

439
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: I've got no doubt that he's going to be successful.

440
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: What he does do you have to take into the

441
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: to account that sure he knows you, you know him,

442
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: but you also at the outset, there's got to be

443
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: a given take and you have to respect that where

444
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: where his instincts may lie, and the fact that there

445
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: has to be some given take. And he is essentially

446
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: the Boston some way, absolutely, UM. And as a quarterback,

447
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just the extension of the offensive coordinator.

448
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: You know, whatever he's trying to UM calling the field,

449
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: I got to go out there and understand why and

450
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: then try to go out and execute it and kind

451
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 1: of be that relay between the other players and what

452
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: he's trying to call. So UM. But again, having having

453
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: these meetings now and just like I said, asking as

454
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: many questions UM to Joe, and you know, there's some

455
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: things that we're switching up, there's some things that we're

456
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna keep the same. UM. But again, you know,

457
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: we won't really know until we're actually calling plays. Whether

458
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: it's in training camp or in preseason and trying to

459
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: get that feeling down of the flow. And I know

460
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: you guys might think it's crazy, but just even hearing

461
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: a different voice in my head, my headset. Um, you know,

462
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: it'll take some time to get used to. But UM,

463
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: like I said, I've got I got supreme faith in

464
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: what Dorsey's capable of and uh, the offensive mind that

465
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: he is, um, you know, and he's he's been great

466
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: so far. You know, I don't expect anything less league

467
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: with you know, Tyree kill and the trades and all that.

468
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: Now deebo samye honesty for a trade to get the

469
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: Digs deal done and know what it is. What did

470
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: that mean for you guys, especially now having it done

471
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: and moving forward from there, Well, I mean, I'm super

472
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: excited about it, and I'm I'm happy I get to

473
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: keep my guy here and um, you know, there's a

474
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of different ways that that could have played out,

475
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm thankful that you know, he likes

476
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: his place enough to call this his home for you know,

477
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: hopefully the next six years and UM to have again

478
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: the corner piece of our receiver receiving corps comeback. And

479
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: I know we're we're adding a couple of guys, We're

480
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: we're subtracting a couple of guys. But um, you know,

481
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: we all understand what type of type of players Stefon

482
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: Diggs is and uh, he's one of the best, if

483
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: not the best receiver in the game. And what he's

484
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: able to do for this offense and and open up

485
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: different areas for us. Um, it's key, you know. Um.

486
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: And again having Dorsey who owes him the same verbiage

487
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: things of that nature, it's only gonna, you know, help

488
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: our offense that much more so. Another year down with him,

489
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: more to learn from him and his body language and

490
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: what he sees and what I see and try to

491
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: pair those up together. Um, you know it's gonna be good.

492
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: And to have a full now real offseason training camp. Um,

493
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: going into it, I think it's gonna be It's gonna

494
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: be great, you know. And I'm excited again to continue

495
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: to throw to our guys. We saw the video of

496
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: you talking to bond On then falling. He was making

497
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: his decision and you were kind of recurring him to

498
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: an extent when you were having that conversation. Did you

499
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: think it was actually something that could happen, and then

500
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: once you found out the news of it happening. Yeah,

501
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: I mean it worked my tail off to try to

502
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: get him here. You know. Um now I'm one. I'm

503
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: thankful that you know, he's uh, he's here. You know,

504
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: he's he's been a heck of a player in this

505
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: league for a long time, and um, you know, shows

506
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: no signs of slowing down down. You know, he's one

507
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: of those guys that you have to count for him

508
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: in every protection, you know, So to have that on

509
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: the other side of the on the defense now and uh,

510
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, force the ball out maybe a little quicker,

511
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: and allow our corners and safeties to be a little

512
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: more aggressive, and you know, it just kind of changes

513
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: the whole dynamic of a defense when you've got a

514
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: guy that you have to focus so much attention on.

515
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: And even for our young guys like Greig and Boogie

516
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: and aj to to learn from a guy like that,

517
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be super helpful, not just

518
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: for the coming years, but the years after that as well.

519
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: You know, there's some guys who weren't going to be

520
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: here because it is voluntary. There are some quarterbacks in

521
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: the league don't always show up to volunteering. What is

522
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: your stance on fat that you're here. Do you feel

523
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: like you have to be here as a quarterback of

524
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: the team. Absolutely, No, I don't feel like I have

525
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: to be here. Um, you know, there's there's a lot

526
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: of these unwritten rules and that that people live by,

527
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: and I know in baseball they're prevalent and people always

528
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: playing about tho unwritten rules. And I'm a Giants fan,

529
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: so that got poked at a few days ago. But yeah,

530
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I need to be here, but

531
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: I absolutely want to be here. I love hanging out

532
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: with the guys and developing these types of relationships that

533
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: you don't get otherwise. I love going to camp and

534
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: staying at Saint John Fisher for those two weeks or

535
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: whatever it is, staying up playing cards, video games, whatever

536
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: it is, developing that camaraderie. And again, we're we're we're

537
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. We're not in a big city and a

538
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: big port where you can just fly out to anywhere

539
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: you want to. And I think there's there's a lot

540
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: of a lot of good in that, especially when it

541
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: comes to developing a football team where guys got to

542
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: hang out with each other. Guys got to go over

543
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: and play cards and watch TV and watch movies and

544
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: go golfing together. And I think that develops a stronger

545
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: bond between teammates, which pays dividends on the field. In

546
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: my honest opinion, Pieces returns to Fonde getting wind up

547
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: because there's pieces that aren't going to be here at

548
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: John Lazy Darrell Williams to thank Cole easily and you

549
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: just talk about what those guys Cole specifically over the

550
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, all all three of those guys I

551
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: think got here a couple of years ago, um and

552
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: really helped change the culture, you know, of this organization.

553
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: And they're gonna be greatly missed. I developed some some

554
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: real deep relationships, um obviously with Cole, him being my

555
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: receiver and him being my safety valve really for the

556
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: last few years. UM, so that's gonna be again. You

557
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: can't really replace something like that. You'll find new ways

558
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: to to help support um support that. But you know,

559
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: I freaking love those guys, and UM, it's sad to

560
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: see them go. And you know, I'm going into year

561
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: five now, which is flown by and it's you know,

562
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: starting to become. You know, I'm starting to see the

563
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: business side of this of this league, and um, it's

564
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: not fun to see guys turn over and play on

565
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: different teams, But at the same time, that's that's the

566
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: nature of the beast that we play in and to

567
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: understand that and just kind of roll with the punches

568
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: and focus on what we can control turn it into

569
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: our year five. What do you think did you have

570
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: to do to take their game to that next level

571
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: with them? What is the what do you think is

572
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: the biggest question marks from out in his team right now? Um,

573
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean question mark. We we gotta we gotta get

574
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: over the hump in the playoffs and you get into

575
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs by winning your division, and we got to

576
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: continue to to find ways to come out a little

577
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: stronger out of the gates. I think myself, especially making

578
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: sure I'm on time, making the right reads and giving

579
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: our guys, uh, you know, good enough balls to to

580
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: get some some more rack and um, you know that's

581
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: one thing I think on offense, Uh, you know, run

582
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: after catch was wasn't very high last year. Um, but

583
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: again that's that's me putting the ball where it needs

584
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: to be and allow our guys to to catch in

585
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: a good position to make to make a run after

586
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: the catch. So um, working on that, that's that's been

587
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: been one of my biggest uh takeaways in this offseason,

588
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: and trying to work on just ball placement and allowing

589
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: our receivers to do that. Where or dike just three

590
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: months later, how the season ended. Yeah, Um, again, everybody

591
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: wants to talk about that, and it is what it is.

592
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: It it happened. There's there's no going back. If it

593
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: was three months ago, might as well have been ten

594
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: years ago, you know. So we've completely turned our focus

595
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: towards this next season and trying to figure out how

596
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: how do we take that next step? How do we

597
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: win that Super Bowl? And again, every every team's goal

598
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: should to be win the Super Bowl every single year.

599
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: And you know it's it's thirty one teams that are

600
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: going to be unhappy at the end of the season. Um,

601
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: so again we gotta be we gotta find a way

602
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: to get to get to it and and win it.

603
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: And uh, you know I'd be lying if I said, like,

604
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: that's that's what drives me. It's to win a Super Bowl.

605
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: And um, get it done, and we're gonna we're gonna,

606
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, exhaust all valves of of option, um, in

607
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: order to get that done. And you know with what

608
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: being and coach McDermott are doing supplying us with, uh,

609
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: you know who we think are the right guys in

610
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: this building. UM, the training staff, the weight room, everything

611
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: plays into it. So that's why you see so many

612
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: guys here right now putting in that work to accomplish

613
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: the goal that we want accomplish. The first I've loved it.

614
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: He's a big office guy. So I don't know if

615
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: you guys have ever seen my Twitter, but I like

616
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I like the office, I like like the jeffs um.

617
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: But he's very relatable. He's very energetic in our meetings.

618
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: And we've only had two meetings, but um, just the

619
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: vibe that it gives off is really cool. And he's

620
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: been around a lot of different types of offensive minds

621
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: and you know, UM, he's one of those guys too

622
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: that just you know, I don't know how long he's

623
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: going to be here as a quarterback coach, because I'm

624
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna have opportunities to be an offensive coordinator again.

625
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: I know he was with Carolina last year. UM, but

626
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: just the things that he's able to talk about and

627
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: the things that he sees. UM, it's very impressive, especially

628
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: from from a guy that's so young. And UM, you know,

629
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad we have him. Yeah I did. I worked

630
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: with him a little bit, um, you know, not so

631
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: much just throwing, but hanging out and just talking through

632
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: some things. And UM, you know, he's he's always a

633
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: great a great friend of mine, a great teacher, a

634
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: mentor whatever you want to call. He's just like a

635
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: big brother to me. So I got to spend some

636
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: time with him this offseason, and probably not as much

637
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: as I would like to. We were bouncing around quite

638
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: a bit this off season. UM. But you know, now

639
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: we're here, we're locking in whatever, like I said, ball placement, UM,

640
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: allowing our receivers to catch and run. That's a that's

641
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: an area of improvement that I've got a direct hand in.

642
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: So I gotta be a better in that. UM. And

643
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: again towards the end of the year last year, it

644
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: felt comfortable in what we were doing. UM. But again,

645
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: just trying to find out how we can get to

646
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: that level of comfortable comfortness or I don't even know

647
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: how to say the word, but how do we find

648
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: that level of comfortness earlier in the season and start

649
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: out the gates hot. So that's something we'll be continuing

650
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: to look at this alcoholic process. And how has your

651
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: guys relationship evolved over the years as far as you

652
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: with the battles, Yeah, Um, we've texted a little bit

653
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: and um, we're we're excited. Gotta gotta take the gray

654
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: Beards down. Um, but you know, I think he's playing.

655
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: He told me he was playing the same course like

656
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: a week or two before. So he's got to give

657
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: me the layout. And you know, we're not doing this

658
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: just to just to do it. We want to win.

659
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's as competitive as I am, Um,

660
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: as well as the other two are. So it'll be fun.

661
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Uh hopefully it makes for some good content all people

662
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: are watching, but we want to win. We'll have new

663
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: coaches and you know, teammates coming in. How do you

664
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: kind of do you reach out to like like for Joe,

665
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: you reach out to Sam and see what's experienced, Like

666
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: where you with New Carolina? Like how do you kind

667
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: of get to know that your Yeah, and I actually

668
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: spent obviously I live near and around Sam and Kyle,

669
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: but I spent a lot of time with him, as

670
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: I do every offseason, Um, you know, and he had

671
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: just great things to say, not only about him, but

672
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: bringing a couple of different guys, Jameson Crowder for one.

673
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: You know, he was with him in New York and

674
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: just had nothing but great things to say. So, UM,

675
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: when you have, like I said, this is year five

676
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: now and you're starting to get some overlap and and

677
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: guys that have played with teammates and friends and this

678
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: and that, and um, we're super excited again to have

679
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: the additions that we have because they're they're right cultural

680
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: fits for this this organization and their heck of players

681
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: on the field and coaches and the staff. So um,

682
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: it'll be fun to try to mix this and get

683
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: things rolling. And that's why we're that's why we're here

684
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: right now, trying to get all this camaraderie up and

685
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: learn about people and develop those relationships. The table's departure.

686
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: The fact that you had four years with him, do

687
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: you think for four years maybe it makes you more

688
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't comfortable or ready or prepared that that you

689
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: had those four years to to to knowing that he

690
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: was going to go at some point you know, likely

691
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: do you think it's it's a better you're you're more

692
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: comfortable or more comfident in yourself and having had those

693
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: four years where you are now that say how he

694
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: had been hired a year ago, I think so, Um, Again,

695
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: Dabe's been He's been around the block. You know, he's

696
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: been under a lot of different coaches and he's been

697
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: in this league for a long time. So the knowledge

698
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: that he was able to pass on um and and

699
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: just different concepts that he would show um tidbits of

700
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: information of not just football, but how to handle being

701
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: in certain situations around certain people and um, stuff that

702
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: you know you can't learn unless you've been in those situations.

703
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: So for him to kind of give that to me,

704
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: it's been awesome. And again, every coach that that I'll

705
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: have throughout my career will have these same thing at

706
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: tidbits of information, but uh, for from it to come

707
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: from him and being around some of the great minds

708
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: of football like coach Saban and coach Balichikum, you know,

709
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: it means a lot because it's some of the best

710
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: to ever doing. Like I said, so to take that

711
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: and try to apply it to my game and to

712
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: what we're doing here. It was extremely helpful. Um. But again,

713
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: the same verbiage that that we're using is a huge piece,

714
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: especially for me, just so I'm not learn Learning a

715
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: digit system or thinking trips right is one thing when

716
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: it's actually something different in someone else's offense. So I'm

717
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: thankful that Dorsey's keeping the same verbiage and terminology. And again,

718
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of different things we do.

719
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: There's gonna be probably a lot of the same things

720
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: that we do. Um, But ultimately it's just trying to

721
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: find the right ways to get it into our playmaker's

722
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: hands and allow them to be as successful as they

723
00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: can be more. Uh, Desmond Ritter, Yeah, there's a couple

724
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: of guys Carson Strong, Um, Joey Guarantano, Jarrett and Uh

725
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: He's he's got a good group out there. Um. But Desmond,

726
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: He's he's a good dude. I don't know how the

727
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: quarterback draft is gonna fall. I really haven't been paying

728
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: that much of attention to it. But um, I'll give

729
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: my my my spill on him. He's he's he can

730
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: spin it with the best of him. He's big, He's

731
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: he can move. Um, not only that he's he's a great,

732
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: great person. Um. Yeah, that's I don't go too fine

733
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: to that. Those guys letters to him specifically, what what

734
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: what would you give advice to these guys from the office.

735
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: You know what it's like for you. I mean, it's

736
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: it flies by one. Like I said, it's year five

737
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: for me. Now this is crazy. I remember sitting up here,

738
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, the day after the draft and talking to

739
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: to some of some of you here. Um, if eyes

740
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: by you know, you're gonna take your lumps. Um. It's

741
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: like I said, Bowl games are are different than playoff games.

742
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many different Bowl games. Now, you

743
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: you win your last game and you're feeling good here,

744
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: only one one team wins their last game. Um. So

745
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: it's a long, grueling season. You gotta take care of

746
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: your body. Um. And then on top of that, just

747
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: the mental aspect of of how to navigate being a

748
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: professional football player and daily life of of a pro

749
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: and uh, it's it's something that's it's easy to do

750
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: if you find the right people to believe in, trust in,

751
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: and and put your faith in. So, um that's my advice. Yeah,

752
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: it was, Yeah, I mean, it is what it is Uh,

753
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: you're too late. But I'm just playing. Um Again, I

754
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: didn't hate the rule. I I don't know if people

755
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: think that I had something to do with it, but

756
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: I I it just happened to be be us that year.

757
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: And like I said, I alluded to it after the game.

758
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: I think the Kansas City Chiefs were in the same

759
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: position the year before they won the Super Bowl. Patriots

760
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: beat them in overtime. They didn't get to see the ball. Um.

761
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: So it is what it is. Uh. Whether we're in

762
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: that situation again, I guess now we'll have a chance,

763
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: but um, there's things that we could have done throughout

764
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: the game that would have maybe limited that opportunity and

765
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: allowed us to maybe not going over time. So um again,

766
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: there's many ways you can look at it. But now

767
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: you know the other team gets a chance. So I

768
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: think that's cool too. I don't really want it to

769
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: be you know. UM, I just I levet football as

770
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: a whole. I am not before, but just everyone wanted

771
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: It's been great. Um. I got to play with Case

772
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: at the American Century Golf a few years ago. I

773
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: got to talk with him there and we go off

774
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: the whole round. So um, I'm familiar with them and

775
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: now having him in the room, it's been great. He's

776
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: he's awesome. Um. He likes to likes to laugh and

777
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: joke like we do in our quarterback room. We try

778
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: to keep it as light as light as possible. And Matt,

779
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: he just knows the deal. Spent some time with Matt

780
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: in the off season two live twenty five minutes away

781
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: from him, and UM, I'm just I'm glad we get

782
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: to have him and his family back to they're they're

783
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: one of our favorites. And um again, but Joe, what

784
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: he's able to bring to the table there as well,

785
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: it's it's a good vibe. And you know, I don't

786
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: see a getting getting bad and it's only going to

787
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: get better from here, which is which is a good thing?

788
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: Is these phase one work I was in What do

789
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: facing his lacking room as a cartoon attention? Um? I think, well,

790
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: the benefits obviously. You know, I love competition and I

791
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: love being around the guys and competing. If I was

792
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: by myself still in Orange County, uh, probably still be

793
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: golfing and not working out as much as I should.

794
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: So allows me to be in the building and doing

795
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: the right things and I think that's that's with a

796
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: lot of guys too, that they're in here doing the

797
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: right things, getting treatment on their body. Um, not eating

798
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: as much as they should. You know, that's that's a

799
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: big thing. Um. And then you said new face. That's

800
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: caught my attention in the building. I WOULDJA Howard. He's

801
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: he's a big dude, like I saw him running today

802
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: and it was just like, I don't want to be

803
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: in front of that guy. And you know, we've got

804
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: some big tight ends that are scary looking when they

805
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: got the ball in their hands. So, um, it'll be fun,

806
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: they guess. All right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media today.

807
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: All smiles is. Yeah, you walk back into the room

808
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: and you got Joe Brady, you got Ken Dorsey, who

809
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: you already know, Matt Barkley's back, and then you're walking around.

810
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: You got tight ends the size of trees like O. J. Howard.

811
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: You've got a reason to smile looking over there. You

812
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: know I couldn't do that, but watching and looking around.

813
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: Von Miller's on the other side of the field. You know,

814
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: Tradavious White's banging around the equipment in the room again,

815
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, seeing him back in the fold. Yeah, it's

816
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: it's got to be a really good feeling for him.

817
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: You could tell he sat down. You could just tell

818
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: he was just so happy to be sitting there, a

819
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: big smile on his face. He just sat down and

820
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't wait to get started. And yeah, it's he is.

821
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: I think he's in a good spot. You gotta think too,

822
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: He's got to be looking really really, got to be

823
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: looking so forward to this season getting started. We have

824
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: to take a break here, so Steve and I will

825
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: chop up some of Josh's comments next, along with some

826
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: other people coming your way in our number two, including

827
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Von Miller, who addressed the media as well. We'll get

828
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: to him in due course. Here on One Bill's Live,

829
00:43:46,440 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: presented by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

830
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: welcome back One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Jasper with

831
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: you gonna go to the phones here as we talked

832
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: a little draft with you at eight oh three, five

833
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: fifty and leading us off here this segment is Mike

834
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. What do you got for us? Mike, You're

835
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. Hello, It would be a big

836
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: mistake to draft a cornerback in the first round. Why

837
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: why do you say that we finished the season with

838
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: out for Davious White, with the number one ranked defense,

839
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure our coaches will have an answer for number

840
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: two cornerback for this year for Davis is coming back.

841
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: We gotta help our boy Josh out score points. So

842
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: we need a receiver, a half back in the first round.

843
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: I think would do. But we've drafted cornerback and we're

844
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna go down the same road the Green Bay Packers

845
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: did when they won the championship Super Bowl and they

846
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: drafted defense nine drafts in a row. Didn't help Aaron

847
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: Rodgers out one bit. We need a receiver or a

848
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: half back to help Josh out. So is your so

849
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: is your issue more with the fact that the Bills

850
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: have drafted defense in the first round of late or

851
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: is it strictly a cornerback issue? No, Our defense is fine,

852
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: Well we picked is fine, But I mean too much

853
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: defense drafted at were set? Yeah, I'm what I'm getting at, Mike,

854
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: is are you more bothered by the fact that they've

855
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: gotten more defense early in the draft in recent years?

856
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a cornerback issue. It's the fact that

857
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: they've drafted defense early the last few years. Is that

858
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: your bon Yeah? Okay, yeah, I get it. And then

859
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: I understand. I get what you mean, Mike, and I

860
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: and I see the logic in it. It's an offense

861
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: league and you're not even allowed to play good defense.

862
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: So why why waste your effort in getting a guy

863
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: who may break up one pass, you know, one pass

864
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: for first down during the game, when you could get

865
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: a receiver who catch two touchdowns that kind of thing.

866
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: It's an offensive league. Build on that. You got the

867
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: best quarterback out there, let him win it for you

868
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: and just count on. I get it. I mean, that's

869
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: what the Chiefs did, and it's worked for them. Certainly.

870
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: I think a lot of defense as but right their

871
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: defense has been a mess. The Bills had the number

872
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: one defense in the league last year, and that was

873
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: with losing Tradavious White at Thanksgiving. So you got to think, Okay,

874
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: with schemes and the guys they have upfront and the

875
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: way they call it, Leslie Fraser is gonna have the

876
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: defense up there. Anyway, Let's help our offense. We got

877
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: a brand new offensive coordinator. Let's let's give him as

878
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: much weapons as many weapons as we can. I see

879
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: the logic of it. I get it, and I'm I'm

880
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: not out of I'm not gonna say it's totally nonsense.

881
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: I there's a lot of logic in it. I really think.

882
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: So you got a guy like Dane Jackson who played

883
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: extremely well. To me, he played really well when he

884
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: got in there. I liked him when he played for

885
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: the Bills last year when he came in when they

886
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: moved Levi Wallace over, and then you know, Dane Jackson

887
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: took over. Let's not forget Levi Wallace isn't here anymore,

888
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: that's right, but Dan Jackson is plays it very well.

889
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: But what's behind those das? But I get it, so

890
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: now they could think as well. And I like your thinking.

891
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think one reason they may take

892
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: a corner anyway is not so much that they think

893
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna But you know, Davious White has the expectations

894
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: have got to be tempered as to how good he's

895
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: going to be right out of the gate, and so

896
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: let's give him some help over there in the defensive backfield.

897
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: But I like where your logic is. It's an offensive league.

898
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: You get the best quarterback just score, give him too

899
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: much to handle, be able to score thirty plus points

900
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: a game, be able to score if you know, like

901
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs did, like with thirteen seconds left. Let's

902
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: let's be the ones to score instead of the ones

903
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: trying to stop him. Okay, I get it. I think

904
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: the only thing that flies in the face of Mike's

905
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: preference is what the value on the board says when

906
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: the Bills pick. Yeah, and there's a there's a general

907
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: consensus that for certain, the top three wide receivers are

908
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: going to be off the board long before the Bills pick,

909
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe even the top four or five wide receivers. And

910
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: the reason some people are mocking corner to the Bills

911
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: at twenty five is because it's anticipated the value at

912
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: receiver is not going to be good when the Bills

913
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: are on the clock, and that the guys that might

914
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 1: be taken in that range are going to be long gone,

915
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, So that might push the Bills to go

916
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: with best value, which at that point in time could

917
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: very well be Corner. It could also be running back.

918
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: The best running back on the board might still be there. Yeah,

919
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: it could be anything. And I know we've always said

920
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: and I think the Bills will try and kind of

921
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: stick in there with taking the best guy available. So

922
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: if there is a you know, a linebacker that stands

923
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: above everybody else on the board, is going to be

924
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: a guy with a really good pro career, You're taken.

925
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: So I'm with you though. Mike's a good point. Don't

926
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: get caught up, Yeah, don't get caught up trying to

927
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: stop these teams where there's you know, there's no stopping them.

928
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: With the way the league, that the atmosphere unstoppable, Just

929
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: make yourself more unstoppable than they are. Break time for

930

Speaker 1: General manager Brandon Being addressing the media in his free

943
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: draft press conference, Who am I picking? I'd love? What's up, maddie?

944
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you done free agency? And then

945
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: what are you looking forward to now? The opportunity were

946
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft? Well, Maddie, you know, the free the

947
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: goal and free agencies always to try and fill as

948
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 1: many holes as we can, which, um, you know I'm

949
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: never gonna sit here and right before the draft to say,

950
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: oh we're good, we can just draft here. We still

951
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: got spots that we want to add competition both sides

952
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: of the ball, and um, that'll be the plan. But

953
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, we don't feel like, man, we gotta get

954
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: you know this, or we gotta get that. You know,

955
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: we've tried to. We're still you know, out there looking

956
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: We were ninety percent focused on the draft, but we're

957
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: definitely still talking to to players and you guys have

958
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: seen players been signed by other teams recently. UM, we'll

959
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: continue searching around for various positions. UM, but most of

960
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: our focus is on next week for the draft. You

961
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: can need a defensive back. Do I think I need

962
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: a defensive back? Say I don't see a position safety

963
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,479
Speaker 1: or a corner or what? Yeah, one of the two.

964
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean depth, wife for safety, for future death, perhaps corner,

965
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: maybe a media Yeah, I'm looking for depth a lot

966
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: of spots though like that that one too, though, you're right, yeah,

967
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: if you if if Trey is not ready for the opener,

968
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: do you feel that their corner spot needs to be

969
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: manned by your rookie white draft or maybe ideally veteran

970
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: you can sign would be your best player. I mean,

971
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: if you think about um, you know there's corners if

972
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about that position, they get drafted every year

973
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: that some start right away, some don't start, but they

974
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: worked their way in the start, depending on you know,

975
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 1: what's in front of depth chart wise, I we trade

976
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: started day one versus some players we drafted in the

977
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: first round or second round didn't start because we felt

978
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: we had somebody ahead of him at the time. So

979
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: to me, it would be all right if if we

980
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: were to draft a corner, you know, how does he

981
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: compare to the rest of our depth? And you know,

982
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: if we draft two corners, maybe they're competing with with

983
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 1: that so yeah, it's not a preference. It'd really be

984
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 1: Um adding to the mix and best man wins, and

985
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: that's that's who would be out there the first week,

986
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, week one. That's what I meant is that

987
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: there seems to be a rebuiling, was a belief out there?

988
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: It's out Um, it's maybe not here, but that that

989
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: cornerback might be the biggest, the biggest need that needs

990
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: to be addressed this offseason, given that you lost lead

991
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: by and given the trade is might you know where

992
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: he is and as we have and might not be

993
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: fully hundred percent? And Um, you don't seem to agree

994
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: with that, you see. I guess I'm not challenging you,

995
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: but you is it fair to say you're comfortable with

996
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: where of that position? Depth? Is that right now? Well?

997
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not comfortable at a lot of positions, John,

998
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm truly not. Um, I'm comfortable at quarterback, but I'm

999
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: not comfortable at a lot of spots. Like we're honestly

1000
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: still looking, um and yeah, we've we've looked at some

1001
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: veteran corners, but we got a cap and we gotta

1002
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: we gotta work within that. And so um, it's feel

1003
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: as many spots as you can with fitting you know,

1004
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: all within the context of the cap, and then again

1005
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: adding more pieces, whether they're starters or depth players next

1006
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: week in the draft. But um, I get the question.

1007
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: I think it's it's not. I'm not saying you're you're

1008
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: out of line. But we've got a lot of confidence

1009
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: in Dane and the guys here too. I mean, he's

1010
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: played for us two years in a row, and I'm

1011
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: a fan, and I think he's done a really good job.

1012
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: And I think, again, how we build this thing as well,

1013
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: we build it up front, and so part of that is,

1014
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: you know, if you're strong up front, you can help

1015
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: your back in and so that's you know, that's part

1016
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: of it too. Where our purpose in free agency, we

1017
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: signed some D tackles obviously, you know, we were able

1018
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: to sign Vaughan, but that was the focus there. We

1019
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: could have gone, I guess less on the D line

1020
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: and said, hey, well we'll stick with what we have

1021
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: here on the D line and maybe go target a

1022
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: higher end corner too, But you know, just felt like

1023
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: this was the best path and hopefully it'll prove to

1024
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: be the right move. Your philosophy at this point, the

1025
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: way you approached the agency up front of use that

1026
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: it takes some of the pressure off the back end

1027
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: by getting to the quarterback past exactly. And you talk

1028
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 1: in the past about how you don't always add thirty

1029
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: two first round grades on players. I don't know if

1030
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: you will want to give us your attack number, but

1031
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: how many first round grades do you have this year? Yeah,

1032
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't have thirty two. It's definitely less factoring that

1033
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: in sitting at twenty five, how does that influence the

1034
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: way that you live in the first round? Um, you know,

1035
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: I think I think it's I mean last year, I'll

1036
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: go back to a year ago, we didn't have, you know,

1037
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: thirty grade. We picked Greg at thirty. Maybe we didn't

1038
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: have thirty or writing close to that, but we did

1039
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: have a first round on Greg. So I'm hopeful that

1040
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: we'll still be able to draft at twenty five a

1041
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: player that we have a first round grade. If if

1042
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: if it's getting close to our pick and going, man,

1043
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna have I think we're gonna

1044
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: be dipping in the second round. I'll try and move

1045
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: back if I can. So where you're at it, twenty

1046
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: five is it kind of is It almost like a

1047
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: queen flip in the sense that maybe if there's a

1048
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: guy that's sliding down that you do it at first route,

1049
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: we're on great and you might be more apt to

1050
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: go up, versus he's not gonna be there, We're gonna

1051
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: try to move back because it really kind of open

1052
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: up bolt avenues for him. It definitely does. Yeah, I

1053
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: would look at both and depend on who the player

1054
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,479
Speaker 1: is like and what am I giving up? Like what's

1055
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: it gonna cost me? You know what pick is in

1056
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: and cost me? Is it gonna cost me a third

1057
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: round pick? And how do I feel? How strong I

1058
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: feel about the third round of Like all right, I'm

1059
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: giving up this player to go up and do this,

1060
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 1: but you know what, it's really worth it. I feel

1061
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: this is an impact player for us, you know right now?

1062
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: Or maybe I don't. I want to let the board

1063
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: come to me. But again, you're spot on with how

1064
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: you said it. I think if if the if the

1065
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: numbers are getting thin, I'm going to be looking both

1066
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: ways to see which is the best solution for us.

1067
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the reality for you, right this

1068
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: is where you want to be drafting at the bottom

1069
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: of the first round every year because it means you're

1070
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: a good team. Asian, there isn't always a virtue for

1071
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: competitive people, right, So how do you swear that? How

1072
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: do you try to make sure that you don't do

1073
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: something irrational because you want your turn to come home? Yeah,

1074
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm probably my own worst enemy with patients. So I

1075
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: think that's why you see sometimes when I say aggressive

1076
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: aggressiveness and free agency, not dollar value, but my aggressiveness

1077
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 1: to feel as many holes as I can. Signing Vaughan,

1078
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: I know it was different, but we were definitely going

1079
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: to try and add to the front and feel a

1080
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: lot of needs. So that again, so that I don't

1081
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: have to feel the pressure. I cannot leave the first

1082
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: round or the second round without player X, you know,

1083
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: or position X. And so that's that's really where it lies.

1084
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: But it's it is knowing your board, having a feel

1085
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: too of how the draft's gonna fall. I think this

1086
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: year is gonna be a little harder with you know,

1087
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: in past years we've had, we've kind of known where

1088
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks were going and where some other

1089
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: guys might fall. It seems like a crapshoot right now

1090
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: to where where the quarterbacks will fall, which will ultimately

1091
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: decide what position players get pushed down to twenty five.

1092
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: And the pass that, you know, the drafting guy the

1093
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: first round you have to be pretty hiding a pretty

1094
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: job sold me about being Jackson and the potential collegition

1095
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: there for anyway, Yeah, what is a quarterback class? How

1096
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: deep is it? How is it? Because that's probably gonna

1097
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: coming player. Yeah, I think there's some good players, I

1098
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: really do. Um. I think I think you'll see corners

1099
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: drafted in a number of the rounds. I don't think

1100
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: it's like, man, if you don't get one, now you're

1101
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: out of luck. Um. I do think there will be

1102
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: some guys. And I think we've had good fortune, you

1103
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: know with you know, Levi was undres rafted. Um. You know,

1104
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: you can't predict that someone's gonna have Levi's career and

1105
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: even Danes to this degree, you know. But a lot

1106
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: of it is our work that we do into the

1107
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: type of competitors and the type of people and the

1108
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: refuse to lose. They've been doubted, whether it was Levi

1109
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: being a walk on, and it's part of that is

1110
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: who we sometimes look for in those later rounds. Okay

1111
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have all these physical schools didn't test out of

1112
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: the waters at the combine or Pro Day, but these

1113
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: other traits tell you this guy's going to find a

1114
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: way to roster and then to help your team. Quarterbacks.

1115
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned the quarterbacks. Quarterbacks. That's made this seem more

1116
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: vulnerable draft, at least when you're looking at it, or

1117
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: draft in general, especially this first round, because normally there

1118
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: appears to be more of a consensus and you know

1119
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: where guys are going. It seems to be all at

1120
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: least from the outside for US season, we all over

1121
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: the border. Yeah, I mean I don't um, not that

1122
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: I haven't pegged down yet, but usually by now you're

1123
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: starting to feel where, let's just call it, the quarterbacks

1124
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: are gonna go the you know, the Miles Garrett, the

1125
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Chase Youngs. When those guys come out just clear cut

1126
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: premium pass rushers, um and then left tackles. Those guys,

1127
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: you can kind of man, this, this guy's going to

1128
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: protect my franchise quarterback. You can kind of tell, all right,

1129
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: we kind of know the first five six picks in

1130
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,479
Speaker 1: some former fashion. Then you can start pegging it down

1131
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: to who's gonna be available this year. You don't know that,

1132
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: and it starts. It starts with the quarterbacks. I think

1133
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: there are pass rushers, but I don't think there are

1134
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: um guys right now that you would say are at

1135
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: the level of some of the players I mentioned as

1136
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: pass rushers. Who's going to be around? How does that

1137
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: impact for preparations for the draft of that more in

1138
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: three Yeah. I mean, we'll do mox next week and

1139
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: we're going to try our best to put ourselves in

1140
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: as many scenarios as we can. I'm hopeful that when

1141
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on the clock Thursday night that you know,

1142
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: it won't be the exact scenario, but it'll be something

1143
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: somewhere that we've discussed. Makes it really easy. But again,

1144
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, you have ten minutes between each pick, which

1145
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: also helps. When you get five to seven away, you

1146
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: can start looking at some of the teams in front

1147
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: of you and get a feel for where they may

1148
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: be targeting, or at least down to two or three

1149
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: positions they may be targeting, and well, you know what,

1150
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: this team really really may like this player that we

1151
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: got one guy left in the first round. We want

1152
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: to get in front of them. But I don't think

1153
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: we'll have a good feel of what's going to be

1154
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: on the clock for us truly until we probably get five,

1155
01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 1: seven eight picks away the COVID and some guys to

1156
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: stay in school for a fifth year because of COVID

1157
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and a couple of guys in the sixth year. What

1158
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: in fact you see that effect on your Day three board?

1159
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Do you think are there maybe a few more players

1160
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: on your board on Day three then there might be?

1161
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Is there going to be more competition, more potential udfas

1162
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: than there might be in a normal year. Yeah, I

1163
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: think Mark, good question. I think there's definitely more guys

1164
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: in this draft that would have normally been available, guys

1165
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: that went back, and I think your spot on they're

1166
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: more Day three players because they stayed to try and

1167
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: up up their stock, and you know, the guys that

1168
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: we're going to leave no matter what, as first second

1169
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: rounders left a year ago or previously. But I do

1170
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: think you'll see potentially more guys that were undrafted. You know,

1171
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,479
Speaker 1: in some years they would have been drafted and maybe

1172
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: they will make they'll make clubs than in the past.

1173
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: There's always stories of undrafted guys that make it. But

1174
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: I could see a scenario where you know, there's more

1175
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: that come out this year just because in other years,

1176
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: with less depth there, they would have probably been a

1177
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: draft pick. How does the number of picks playing the

1178
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: things Because you got to pick, you've got a roster

1179
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: that's you know, filled to content for a Super Bowl,

1180
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: eight guys are probably making his team. Does that mean

1181
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you're more apt to maybe combined some picks and move

1182
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: up or you just want to have those littery tickets

1183
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: and maybe get hit on a game. Yeah, I mean,

1184
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going into the draft mat saying all right,

1185
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: eight guys can't make it, no way, no how, let's

1186
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: figure out. But I'm also not trying to draft a

1187
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: player that I'm going the minute I turned the card in,

1188
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't see this guy making the roster. So it

1189
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: is a fine balance, but you're also trying to add depth,

1190
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: and whether it's a draft pick I got after the

1191
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: draft in two weeks from now, like, we're trying to

1192
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: go to camp with the strongest ninety man roster we

1193
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,439
Speaker 1: can have because we all know injuries happen, and so

1194
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: there are guys that, yeah, I want to be better

1195
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: than this player when we get to the fifty three,

1196
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: but I also want the best option for us there,

1197
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to minimize the drop off from the

1198
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: starter to the backup to the third guy. And it

1199
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: also helps you, you know, when you get in the preseason,

1200
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: it's important that running with that second and third team

1201
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: that you have good players as many good players as

1202
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: you can to evaluate everyone else. If you've got a

1203
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: bad old line as your second old line or your

1204
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: third O line, well guess what, you can't evaluate that quarterback,

1205
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: and if he's on his back, you can't evaluate the receivers,

1206
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: and it just becomes a domino effect. So that's it's

1207
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: a long winded answer, but yes, there may be a

1208
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: pick or two that we have that don't make it.

1209
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: But hopefully if they don't, we get them to practice squad,

1210
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: but we would be open to using them as well

1211
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: if we're you know, thinking, man, there's no way this

1212
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: guy's making it, or we're running out of players that

1213
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: don't make it, let's trade up, you know, in the

1214
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: fifth round or or even earlier. But I'm really just

1215
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: gonna follow the board how we said it. We've put

1216
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: a lot of work into it, and just if the

1217
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: board tells me, you know, we need to move up,

1218
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: there's a valuable player that can help us, we'll do

1219
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: it if it If it doesn't, um, then we'll stay

1220
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: pat or move back. Where do you any saying current

1221
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: with Jordan? Well, Joe, I'm a big fan of Jordan.

1222
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job here for five years.

1223
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I know what's been reported out there,

1224
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't talk about contracts, just like

1225
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about staff or Josh or any of

1226
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: the other other guys. So just really not a lot more.

1227
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: I got nothing but glowing things to say about Jordan

1228
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: and his family. Um, that's probably as deep as I

1229
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: get into it. I wish he was here, but that's um.

1230
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I wish any player um that's not here was here.

1231
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,959
Speaker 1: We just enjoy not only seeing them grow on the field.

1232
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: But it's the bonding piece. Um. But that's it's voluntary.

1233
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: So uh, that's that's fair when play, when players choose

1234
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: not to show. When you say you don't like to

1235
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: negotiate through I mean you have everything like that. When

1236
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: you see Jordan's representation, say we've reached out to the

1237
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: bills for any session. That disappoints you at all? How

1238
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: probably No, I mean I think everybody gets to do

1239
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: it the way they want to do it. Um, we

1240
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: just we don't get to you know, every team gets

1241
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: to conduct business how they want to and every agency

1242
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: or player gets to conduct it. We just we control

1243
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: what the bills do. And I would just say that, Um,

1244
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a really good agent. I've worked

1245
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: with Drew for a number of years and um, he's all.

1246
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: We've always had a great relationship, So there's nothing, there's

1247
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: no there's no conflict anything like that. You know, Drew's

1248
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: been in a long time, much longer than I've done it,

1249
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: and um, he he's a Heck, I'm an agent, and

1250
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: you know we'll do business the way we do it,

1251
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: and then they'll do it the way they think's best

1252
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: for them. How do you play take the money in

1253
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: the negotiations either, But Jordan is a player I'm not

1254
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: off the season that he did and the potential longevity

1255
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: that he still has last in the league. How do

1256
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: you view him? Well, I just I look at it

1257
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: as the now. I mean Jordan, Um, Jordan's been a

1258
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: really good player. He's been a good prom you know,

1259
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job. He's been an

1260
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: integral part of our defense. You know, when you look

1261
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: at Um some of the steady pieces that have been

1262
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: here through when it wasn't as good to where we

1263
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: are now. And I give him and some of those

1264
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: other guys a lot of credit for being here. And

1265
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: he's been a big part of it. And I want

1266
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Jordan here. I mean, that's you know, I'm not looking

1267
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: for anything different than that. It's just business gets in

1268
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: the way sometimes and I respect that. I'm not upset

1269
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: or anything. It's you want everybody to be happy and

1270
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: thrilled with their Contractum. I doubt every employee's walking around

1271
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: here high five and you know they're boss going I

1272
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: love all the money, you know what I mean. It's

1273
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: just it's part of the business and you can't let

1274
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: it get you down. Like there's no way I'm ever

1275
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna walk in here and have every employee and every

1276
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: player and every coach say, man, I'm making so much money.

1277
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled. Like it's just it's not it's not reality.

1278
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: And especially in this business, what happens you're coming off

1279
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: free agency, guys, see guys getting paid. Um, I'm gonna

1280
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: need to water in a minute. Derek, you know, Um,

1281
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: you see guys getting paid and you're like, man, I

1282
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: feel like I'm better than that guy. I got more

1283
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, skins on the wall than he does. How

1284
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: did he get this? Well? Sometimes if you you know,

1285
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: guys choose to play it out, they're rewarded. Sometimes they're not,

1286
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, things getting away injuries and other things. And um,

1287
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 1: but I'm a big fan of Jordan Poorer and you'll

1288
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: never get me to say anything different. Point you have

1289
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: to kind of put a wall up. That's the way. Okay,

1290
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: if we can't extend everybody, you can't you know, go

1291
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: above the value that's place. At what point does that

1292
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: become part of the discussion to Yeah, I mean it's hard.

1293
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: There's other guys here that want to be paid too.

1294
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that one is out in public,

1295
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: but there's that's not the only agent of a player

1296
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: this offseason that's on the bills that what you know?

1297
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: What about my guy? What are you thinking? Is there

1298
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: a plan now? Is there a plan after the draft?

1299
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Is there a plan at all? Um? And we've had

1300
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: those conversations, but that happens every year. Some do work

1301
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: their way into the media, uh, for whatever reason, whether

1302
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: it's a player or not showing whether it's you know,

1303
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 1: the agent you know discussing it. But um, I want

1304
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: to pay them all, Joe. Back to what I was saying,

1305
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the ones that deserve it and have earned it, and

1306
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: there's a other guys here that that I feel have

1307
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: earned it as well and want to do it. And

1308
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 1: there's guys that have left here since I've been here

1309
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: that I wanted to pay but or our organization wanted

1310
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: to pay. But you can't pay them all to to

1311
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: the point of your question. And that's hard because I'm

1312
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: a people person. I love these guys and love them

1313
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the death, but I also have a job to do

1314
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: and I have rules to follow from a cap standpoint

1315
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: in cash and so um. Unfortunately you have to say

1316
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: goodbye to some and uh yeah again, there's there's more

1317
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: than just Jordan that would you know, be looking to

1318
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: get an extension. We just you know, right now we're

1319
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: focused on the draft. Wait just generally has very day

1320
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: philosophy gas at all. How that this soffer is deeper

1321
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: than when you first got here with this Um you know,

1322
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: yes and no, Um, it's still just following the board.

1323
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I think every draft is different, Catherine, Like there's some

1324
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 1: drafts where you're going, Man, we get into the fifth round,

1325
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how fired up, Like even if I

1326
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 1: draft one of these guys and he makes it this year,

1327
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: like we got to get better than that. And then

1328
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: there's other years where it's deeper, you know. I feel

1329
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: like this is a deeper draft to marks point and

1330
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: in the back end of the draft because of the

1331
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: COVID and all that. And so I think it's my

1332
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: job and our staff's job to analyze each draft and

1333
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: find out what positions have depth, and then where is

1334
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: the depth in the rounds, Like where are you getting

1335
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: the best value? And you know what, this year, I'm

1336
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: just making this up. But this year, I don't see

1337
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: the value in the first round, but I see the

1338
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: value in the I'm making a fourth round, okay, or

1339
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: fourth and fifth round. Well, maybe I'm more willing to

1340
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: add picks there. And I don't care if I don't

1341
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,759
Speaker 1: make as many picks up top or like I said earlier, man,

1342
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't really want many picks for the fifth round.

1343
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they're gonna help us, you know,

1344
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: And if they help us this year, we're gonna be

1345
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: replacing them next year anyway, So let me move up?

1346
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Every year appears? I think running

1347
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: back really in the draft, and I know you always

1348
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: say that, Hey, if there's a guy that I'm like

1349
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: a lot close to the idea, I'll do it. But

1350
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: the way that you have operated a round picks, you

1351
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: haven't spend a lot of money in creating the necessarily

1352
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: money backs. Has that been your philosophy of roster construction

1353
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: and that position specifically considering when you paid a quarterback

1354
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 1: and around it, It's just the way it falls. I mean,

1355
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: we've had guys on our board in the first round

1356
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 1: since I've been here that are running backs. We have, um,

1357
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: but we I if we chose someone else, we thought

1358
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: they were a better player or more valuable player to

1359
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: what we're adding. Sometimes it gets down to the position value,

1360
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: which is part of what you're asking too. Um. But

1361
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: but you know, there's if there's a player that I

1362
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: think is dynamic enough as a as a running back

1363
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: and can add an element to our offense this year,

1364
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: next year, whenever we would we would still take them, Okay,

1365
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: but it would have to be over He's got to

1366
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: be dynamic enough to be over another position that maybe

1367
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: is considered a higher position value. Do you feel that

1368
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: you have enough that you were I would say the

1369
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: third outside wide receivers James is an Isaiah Slough right

1370
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: now outside you feel you have enough right there behind

1371
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 1: that of the experience. I'm gonna ditto what I said

1372
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: to war a while ago. Uh, I don't feel we

1373
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: have enough at almost anything, and we're looking to add everywhere.

1374
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: It's just um and I would tell all our players that, like,

1375
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to add as much competition as I can.

1376
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 1: And after this draft, we're still going to look because

1377
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: guess what, some people are gonna get least. And if

1378
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 1: there's a player that we said, you know what, this

1379
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,799
Speaker 1: guy he could be the fiftieth player of our fifty three.

1380
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: I think he can make it. I think he can

1381
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: help us. We'll try and do it if he makes

1382
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: us that much stronger as a depth piece place your

1383
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: after is in right now, coupled with some of these

1384
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: big time moves that you've made, obviously you're all in.

1385
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: Is this a year in the draft where you might

1386
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: be more inclined if there's a couple of guys that

1387
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: you want to go up and get to sacrifice draft

1388
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: assets not only this year, but maybe even next year,

1389
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: because it's almost like it's a super Bowl war or

1390
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 1: nothing kind of season for you. It's not that, it's

1391
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,600
Speaker 1: not that, it's not it's it's it's not. I understand

1392
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: the question style and I get why people would think that,

1393
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: but this is not a one year we got to

1394
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: get the super Bowl or not. I want to get

1395
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl every year. But we can win the

1396
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: super Bowl this year and we're gonna be fighting like

1397
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: hell to get back there next year. Like and so

1398
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: we didn't know. Move we made this year was an

1399
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: all in, you better do it now. Like we've got

1400
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 1: a plan and we're gonna stay competitive. That's the plan.

1401
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's my job. But I don't know. Never

1402
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: say never. I'm never gonna try. And it said never

1403
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 1: say never, and I said never. But I'm rarely, rarely, rarely.

1404
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know a case where I'm gonna say, let's

1405
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: push all our chips to the plate and you know,

1406
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: to the table, and let's do it all right now

1407
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: and don't worry about the next year. That's not what

1408
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: we're doing. I promise you. Have you been able to

1409
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: how much have you has the ability to go and

1410
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: get upon Miller and to make somebody and to resign

1411
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 1: bigs to that contract. How much is that have you

1412
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: benefited the roster wise, salary cap wise from having twenty

1413
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: six rapt picks from last last year's team on your

1414
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: roster just having having those rookie contracts still on your

1415
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 1: roster now min Juice is not twenty six now going

1416
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: to this year. But how much is that benefited you're

1417
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: being able to make those booms because that would seem

1418
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: to be the problem years before before your arrival, that

1419
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: this team couldn't keep driving things. Yeah, I mean the

1420
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: foundation of your team, Um, when I set up here,

1421
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: when the Pagoula's hired me, was we got to draft, develop,

1422
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: and resign, and that's what we tried to do as

1423
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: many times we can. The foundation of how you build

1424
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't change. Yeah, you may get a little more

1425
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: aggressive a year or two if you feel your team

1426
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: is closer. Um, you know you're trying to get over

1427
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: the hump. And that's really what what our moves have

1428
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 1: been this year is not an all in as much

1429
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 1: as it is just trying to get across that finish line.

1430
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: And we came up short. Against um, you know, an

1431
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,759
Speaker 1: AFC championship against the Chiefs, and then the year before

1432
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: you know this past or against the Chiefs and trying

1433
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: to get over the hump. What can we do? We're close,

1434
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: but we're obviously not there. So what do we gotta do?

1435
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:04,480
Speaker 1: It's um, but you still have to have many foundational

1436
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: draft picks to be able to do that. You can't

1437
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: just go buy players. You know, it's it's not gonna work.

1438
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't think how do how does basically these Phase

1439
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: one workouts hope your draft process? And I know that

1440
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,799
Speaker 1: you said you try to, you know, look at our areas,

1441
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: but what position specifically you think is the biggest question

1442
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: mark on this roster? I wouldn't go into what I

1443
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: think is the biggest question mark, Mookie, that would That

1444
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't do me any good. UM. But and listen, you

1445
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 1: could walk down this hall and ask some of our

1446
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: scouts or coaches you I don't think you're get in

1447
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: the same answer, um, just by the conversations we've had

1448
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: in the draft room. But UM, Phase one you know

1449
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: is more than anything. It's just getting the guys back

1450
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 1: in here and seeing who's in shape and seeing who

1451
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: needs to get in shape. Um, but as I said earlier,

1452
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,640
Speaker 1: the best thing about this has been just you know,

1453
01:17:55,720 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: the guys, the camaraderie. This is where the most import

1454
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: And think about the offseason. Yes, you gotta get in shape,

1455
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: but guys can go do things at other places. But

1456
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: what you can't get if I got guys in Florida, Arizona, California, wherever,

1457
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: you can't get that bond, you know, And that's where

1458
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: we talk about training camp going up there. It's it's

1459
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: it's for various reasons, but the number one reason to

1460
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: go to training camp to go away is to force

1461
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: that bond. And just you know, we we all know

1462
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: the adversity that every teams. You guys cover us, and

1463
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: you know you can point back to what happened in

1464
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: that season and how they handled it. Did it derail

1465
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: the season or did they manage to fight their way

1466
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: through it and get back on track. And I think

1467
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 1: last year you saw that we were waffling win one,

1468
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 1: lose one over and over and we finally got the

1469
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: train back on the tracks and we were playing really

1470
01:18:54,040 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: good football till the very end. Yeah, I think I

1471
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: think it's culture and people and no finger pointing. You know, people,

1472
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: we didn't have an issue of blame offense, blame the defense, defense,

1473
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: blame the offensive, players, blaming coaches, coaches, blaming players, front office.

1474
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 1: Whatever it was people saying, you know what, looking in

1475
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: the mirror, and I got to do my part and

1476
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: we just got to get back to work. You know,

1477
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: talk is cheap, you know. You know, when you're on

1478
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: a five game win streak, people are telling you how

1479
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: great you are and you're gonna win the super Bowl.

1480
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 1: You shouldn't listen to that. And then but you win one,

1481
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: lose one, or lose two in a row or whatever.

1482
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, the outside people don't define you. You define yourself.

1483
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Sean's done a great job

1484
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: of is being real with our team and not listening

1485
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 1: to the outside noise of what is the problem. We

1486
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: know internally what it is. We just gotta be be

1487
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: men about it and fix it. What are your protocol drop?

1488
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: How much easier it hasn't been to meet and evaluated players, Yeah,

1489
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: it's been. You know this this process through the spring

1490
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: was great. Um, you know, thirty visits, we had our

1491
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: last player in today, today's the last day. You can

1492
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 1: do it by league rules, so just that part, along

1493
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: adding the ability to bring thirty players in meet a

1494
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: lot of our staff, just get a feel for him

1495
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 1: for a day, take them out to dinner or whatever

1496
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: the case may be. And then again we sent a

1497
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: lot of our scouts and some coaches out on some

1498
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: pro days and privates. You know, we haven't been able

1499
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: to do that much last year. The pro days came back,

1500
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 1: but you really couldn't do the privates and um, just you.

1501
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: I feel like we know this crop of players definitely

1502
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: better than two years ago and um and still better

1503
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: than last year. Two part questions, how do you know

1504
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be competition at your position? Ever you

1505
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 1: started a job? How do you you Gabriel Davis? And

1506
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: what are your overall rushings? Now you're all the way

1507
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: through the process. That how the draft of this wide right?

1508
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: You know, Gabriel is he's a stud and I mean

1509
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: that in all sense his habits. You know, he is

1510
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: serious about football. I think we all remember when we

1511
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: turned the pick in the guy's out working out like

1512
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: he's just so driven. And that's not fake. I mean

1513
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: some people do that for fake. That's him and I

1514
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: can tell you why it's him. Because he just had

1515
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: a heck of a game to finish his season and

1516
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: put him on the map. You know, we knew about him.

1517
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: I think you guys had a good field for him.

1518
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 1: He's had two good camps and you know, his rookie

1519
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: camp and then again this past season. You know, as

1520
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: the offense flows, you know, he was probably overlooked in

1521
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: this offense a little bit. But when his numbers called.

1522
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: Go back to that Colts game a year ago in

1523
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I don't know if we win that game

1524
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 1: if we don't have Gabe Davis, and so you can

1525
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 1: say we made it to the AFC Championship. Gabe Davis

1526
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 1: was a key part of that. And then obviously the

1527
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 1: plays he made down the stretch last year and then

1528
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs game. But you know, I see him yesterday,

1529
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: first time at the coffee station, and I mean he

1530
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he took a day off.

1531
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: I hope he did. I didn't get into that, but

1532
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 1: he looks like he's ready to play, like he's he

1533
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: could play. And I wouldn't say every player I've seen

1534
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 1: look even his eyes. I mean just he's like he's

1535
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: got that look, you know, the eye of the Tiger,

1536
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: like I'll go to war with Gabe Davis any day

1537
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: of the week. The receiver draft, you know, without giving away,

1538
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's I think you're gonna see

1539
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: receivers every year from now on being one of the

1540
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: deeper classes because of all the seven on sevens and

1541
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: all the passing that's starting at youth level. You go

1542
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: watch Pop Warner football there chucking the ball. You know,

1543
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: none of us got to do that when we were little.

1544
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: As if you to it twice a game, you're lucky.

1545
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be a position that will

1546
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: generally be one of the deeper ones in every draft.

1547
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: All right. That's Brandon being addressing the media here today

1548
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: at One Bill's Drive in his pre draft press conference,

1549
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: keeping most things as you would expect, relatively close to

1550
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,759
Speaker 1: the vest. I think the most revealing answer he had today,

1551
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: Steve was he does not have thirty two players with

1552
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: first round grades in this year's class. Now that's not

1553
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: terribly unusual. I would venture to say that most years,

1554
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: a good number of teams do not have thirty two

1555
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: players with first round grades. Somewhere around twenty and he

1556
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: said last year that was the case. But fortunately for

1557
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 1: them picking at thirty, they still had some of their

1558
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: guys with first round grades still on their board, one

1559
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: of them being Greg Rousseau. Otherwise, together, nice season, He's yeah. Otherwise,

1560
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: if they get to twenty five and all the first

1561
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 1: guys with first round grades that they have are off

1562
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: the board, he's gonna try to move out because the

1563
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: value is not there anymore. Right, We'll see if there's

1564
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that have to be answered in

1565
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,719
Speaker 1: as a little bit of movement with Deebo Samuel's news

1566
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: coming up to day like it did, Deebo Samuel's wanting

1567
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: a trade from San Francisco means there may be some

1568
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: first round draft picks that go somewhere else a bunch

1569
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: of there's like six teams with double picks, so you know,

1570
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: those teams have some room to wiggle and to trade

1571
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: some of those picks, maybe to a team like San Francisco.

1572
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 1: Break time for us, Steve and I back to talk

1573
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: some more draft here in a second on one Bill's Live.

1574
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, so continuing our conversation with the headline news

1575
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 1: about Deebo Samuel requesting a trade from the San Francisco

1576
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, which apparently, according to reports, is rooted

1577
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 1: in his desire to be utilized differently. He not only

1578
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: ran the football out of the backfield in addition to

1579
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: being a receiver, you also returned kicks even through a

1580
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: touchdown pass last year. Yeah. Yeah, he's got the same

1581
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: agent as AJ Brown and DK Metcalf. If you are

1582
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans and you see the actions of Deebo Samuel,

1583
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: are you scrambling to maintain a good relationship with a J.

1584
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 1: Brown Or if you're the Seahawks, you're trying to do

1585
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: that with Medcalf. No one. They've got the same agent

1586
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,759
Speaker 1: as Debo. I don't know. I don't think the agent

1587
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 1: was the centralized thing for Debo. I don't think. I

1588
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: don't think that this is the player the play taking issue.

1589
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: I think it's the play well right, But still I

1590
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 1: think the same question holds. Like, if you're a Tennessee

1591
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: are you're a little worried that AJ is gonna get

1592
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: just as disgruntled because he feels he's being grossly underpaid

1593
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 1: as the number one wide out on the Tennessee Titaness

1594
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, I get it. But also Debo has some

1595
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: issue with the way he's being used. That's been reported

1596
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: now as well. Right, he's you know, he's running out

1597
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 1: of the backfield. He's playing uses a wide receiver, running back,

1598
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: and let me tell them, if you want to get paid,

1599
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: don't play running back. Yeah, I mean, don't you let

1600
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: him put you in un back And he's probably getting

1601
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 1: an inkling Deebo Samuels is that that's gonna happen more

1602
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: and more. He wants no part of it, so he's

1603
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: get me out. A J. Brown's got leverage, Steve. He

1604
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: is the only dynamic playmaker on that entire team. Yeah, yes,

1605
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: you're right, And I think that's so. I think that

1606
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: makes them different. I think A J. Brown says, I'm

1607
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: a receiver. You're use me as a receiver. I'm the

1608
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,640
Speaker 1: best guy and basically the only guy you got. But

1609
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: he's still underpaid. You gotta pay me, you gotta pay

1610
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: me the going rate, and you better, you better. Yeah,

1611
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Debo is a little different than that because he's being

1612
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,520
Speaker 1: used like a running back wide receiver slash, h backslash.

1613
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Just give him the ball somehow, some way. Now, in

1614
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: some ways you can say, wow, that's great to be there.

1615
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: But that's fine. But you don't want to. You gotta

1616
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: get paid. You wait too long as a team, the

1617
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans sit on their hands too long. All it

1618
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: takes is him to feel differently. As soon as his

1619
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: mood changes because you haven't stepped up to the plate

1620
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 1: like the Bills did, was Stefan Diggs, You're gonna have

1621
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: a problem and he'll ask for trade. Yeah. So that's

1622
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,799
Speaker 1: why I'm saying that. Like, if you're in the Tennessee Titans,

1623
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: you look like the guy I'm picturing the people in

1624
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: that Gift that are running in the background with their

1625
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 1: hands over their head like the sky is falling, you know,

1626
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: chicken little. I think they're doing that a little bit

1627
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. But here's the thing. You're right, um, if

1628
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: you want a J Brown there, pay him. You gotta

1629
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: you gotta step up, and you gotta step up quick.

1630
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:27,679
Speaker 1: But I'll say this too. If I'm a GM, I'm

1631
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: sitting there and going listen, man, there's plenty of fish

1632
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: in the seat. See I'm getting I know you got

1633
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: they got Ryan Tannehill. Because here's the other part. I mean,

1634
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: the easiest time to trade him if it ain't gonna

1635
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: work is draft week. You. You wait till after the draft,

1636
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: and now he's all ticked off and he wants to

1637
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 1: be moved. Oh my god, you don't want that mess.

1638
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: You gotta address this and address it quick. Wait, there's

1639
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: no question, you gotta address it before training camp starts.

1640
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 1: Here he's gonna be He's not gonna be there, and

1641
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 1: then you may as well scratch the whole season. Break time,

1642
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I will close it up next here on

1643
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live Back in a second. So as we

1644
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,679
Speaker 1: heard from Brandon being Steve, when he was asked about

1645
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,879
Speaker 1: the prospect of considering a running back early in the draft,

1646
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: he said, We've had guys on our board since I've

1647
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:22,719
Speaker 1: been here over the years that had first round grades

1648
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: who are running backs. Sometimes it gets down to position value.

1649
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: If there's a player dynamic enough as a running back

1650
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 1: and can add a special element to our offense this

1651
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 1: year and next year the year after, we would take

1652
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 1: him the idea with that answer, you could insert any
