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

00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: is in the kitchen, looks.

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

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

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: it's intercepted.

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Jumping up in the air is bad for these One

00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,200

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Welcome into One Bill's Live. Man needed to wear an

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: umbrella for a hat today out here. Holy crow stuff

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: blowing through town here overnight and into the morning hours

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: was absolutely nuts. And uh, I was wondering if I

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: was gonna need a canoe or a rubber raft to

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: get to work today. I hate start building an arc.

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: I hate it. Yeah, people lining up two by two.

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: I Uh, it's one of those things where you and

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: everybody's house is different and you lay it. Sometimes when

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: you get in a certain party of house, you can

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: tell when it's raining outside, and sometimes it's like, Wow,

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: it's it's really raining outside. It's you're just like, I

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: don't even want to open the I don't even want

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to look outside.

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: How do your dogs do with thunder and lightning? And

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: we had some of that last night, right, how do they.

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: I've heard a little bit of it last night. My dog,

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: my favorite dog. I hate to say he's not the

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: best dog. He's just my favorite. He can't hear that.

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 3: Well.

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: Oh, so it's been a godsend for him to be

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: crippled up in his old age. So he's fine. The

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: other one, yeah, the he needs some attention sometimes when you.

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: My dog is a woos oh really, yeah, can't handle

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: just a nervous wreck. So first of all, yeah, she's

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 3: like fifty two pounds pitbull. So we've got her out

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: in the hallway because she snores like a freight train,

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: right and wakes us up. So we put her out

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: in the hallway in her bed. Well, once the rain

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: starts and then the thunder comes in and whining and

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: crying like a four year old, right and all right,

41
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: so we move the bed into our bedroom, you know,

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: on the far side of the room. More thunder and

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: lightning comes to the bedside, at which point, you know,

44
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: I gotta put Now, I gotta put the bed next

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: to my wife on the floor so that she can

46
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: console the dog. Yeah, I have to console the dog.

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: She's got it's insane man like whimpering. I've she is

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: surrounded on all four sides by walls. She is not

49
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: near a window. Just I can't. I can't keep losing

50
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: sleep every time there's a thunderstorm because the dog's scared.

51
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: Like this is just it's not working.

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's crazy what pets do when the weather

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: gets bad and I'm with you, they they start to

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: lose it and they get you know, loud. We my

55
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: two dogs, they both snore anyway.

56
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: Shouldn't howl. But it's just like, okay, all right, like

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: everything's fine, Like what else do we need to do

58
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: to convince you? Like we've been through like fifty fifty

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: thunderstorms since we've had you, like and nothing has ever happened.

60
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: Why suddenly is the next one the end of the

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: world again, I don't know why that is what happened

62
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: to learn behavior because my dog doesn't have the brain

63
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: capacity to do it.

64
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Apparently apparently, But that's you know, the thunderstorms to my problems.

65
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Even though it's it's not perfect, but I'm I just

66
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: wish it wouldn't rain that much.

67
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: Well, we're in for like a full week of rain.

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: Like I looked at the forecast two, which is.

69
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, there's these.

70
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: We're in it now. Turn on that, you turn.

71
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: On your app. You look at us, like, what are

72
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the chances of it raining? As like one hundred percent.

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 3: I think eighty five percent is the lowest chance. This week,

74
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: we are just going.

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: To get soaked.

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: But let's get to Bill's notes because the owner's meetings

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: continue in Arizona and Joe Brady addressed the media today

78
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: at the Owner's meetings at the AFC Breakfast and addressed

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: a number of topics concerning the team, among them the

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: left guard competition, which he confirmed will be an open competition.

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: Also gave the indication that the Bills three four defense

82
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: will be multiple and perhaps a bit more of a

83
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: hybrid scheme that will have different looks across the front.

84
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: Also sounds as if they're committed to leaning on a

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: lot of the young draft picks over the last couple

86
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: of years that they've made at the defensive line positions

87
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 3: like Dwayne Carter, TJ. Sanders Land, and Jackson Dion Walker.

88
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: And then finally, no timetable was provided on Dwayne Carter,

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: who's returning from an Achilles' injury suffered last August, right

90
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: before the start of the season. But hey, coach Joe

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: Brady did say that he, along with Land and Jackson

92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: have both gotten bigger and stronger.

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: I think Brady and probably the staff that's at least

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: held over from last year. I think they liked those guys,

95
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Dwayne Carter, TJ. Sanders, Land and Jackson. Of course Dion

96
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: Walker who came in and played really well last year.

97
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: And Brady actually said, you know what a find last

98
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: year in the fourth round. But they liked the guys.

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: They just they got to play well. I mean, you know,

100
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: they got right. I'm not saying they like him as

101
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: their personality. I think they played well, they practiced well.

102
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't see Landon Jackson very much or TJ. Sanders,

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: But what they know about the guys they really like.

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: They want him in the building if they can play

105
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: well enough. But I think that's what it comes down to.

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: Right And we'll hear more from Joe Brady himself, will

107
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: have some of his more notable comments for you in

108
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: about twenty five minutes time. Because you know, to play

109
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: the he went for like forty five minutes, it's a

110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: little unrealistic to play that front to back. So we

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: kind of pulled the highlights out of his comments and

112
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: we'll run through those for you in about twenty five

113
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: minutes time. Let's go around the NFL, though, and the

114
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks will be the subject of hard knocks during

115
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: training camp and the preseason this summer kind of makes sense.

116
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Champs. It was also announced that the New

117
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: England Patriots, the defending AFC champs, will be featured in

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven. So HBO has their two teams lined

119
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: up for the next two summers, which I don't remember

120
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: the last time they announced the next two. You know,

121
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: usually here and it's usually even later than now. This

122
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: is to which team it's going to be.

123
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: This seems like a first.

124
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: The Bills announced this time last year. I feel like

125
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: it was later than now. I don't thought it was

126
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: like in June.

127
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: I thought it was like right, yeah, right, I think

128
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: maybe that's the Bills fighting it, but you know what

129
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Yeah, perhaps I don't know maybe, but yeah,

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: you're right. I've never heard him announced two Yeah at

131
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: a time. That's cool.

132
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: Good for them, Yeah, because we had them here last year.

133
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: And I gotta say, like those crews from NFL Films

134
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: just do a really good job of blending in and

135
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: staying out of the way.

136
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Team Colors, and they looked like just part of the

137
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: They looked just like part of the organization. You know,

138
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: they kind of blend in with the organization and they

139
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: become familiar. It was they really handle it well. I

140
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta tip your hat to them on that.

141
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, they've done this before. What are we

142
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: going on? Like this is like the twenty something iteration

143
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: of it.

144
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: You and I talked about it last year when we

145
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: saw the Hard Knarks crew. No, they they know what

146
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. Yeah. For the Bills episodes, there was absolutely

147
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: zero drama.

148
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, none, And that was on purpose.

149
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Oh they there was no conflict, There was no tension.

150
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean they they remember, they turned. They got well,

151
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: you know what, why don't you do a huge couple

152
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: of series on Jimmy Charlow? You know, so we got

153
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: to know Jimmy really well. He's in he's in the

154
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: building now, he's on a contract, and uh, what a

155
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: great kid. But he was big and hard knocks. So

156
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: I think that's how the Bill's plan of attack was.

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: The kid's a good kid. We like him. We're gonna

158
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: keep him if we can talk to him. Don't don't

159
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: talk to Josh. There was limited Josh I will say,

160
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, and that's probably Josh saying, you know what,

161
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: I talk to some other people talk to about that.

162
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about Hayley or anything like that.

163
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: Uh. Late on Monday, the Cleveland Browns announced they were

164
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: pulling their proposal to expand the ability to trade future

165
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: draft picks to five years out. There was little to

166
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 3: no support for the measure. As a matter of fact,

167
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: rams Heead coach Sean McVay said zero percent chance it

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: gets passed in an interview. Then Brandon Bean was asked

169
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: about it yesterday, was told of mcveigh's comments and he goes, yeah,

170
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: it probably doesn't have much of a chance to pass.

171
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: Hours later, the Browns pulled the plug on it. This

172
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 3: is how bad it is for the Browns. They obviously

173
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: winning games is a major issue for them. They can't

174
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: even get a proposal to the table without it being panned.

175
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: As you know, I mean, that thing was dead on

176
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: arrival in Arizona.

177
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: That was something they threw against the wall that did

178
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: not stick.

179
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 3: So they withdrew that proposal that will not be voted on.

180
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Browns, owner Jimmy Haslam said that Deshaun

181
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: Watson has a quote great chance of becoming the team

182
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: starting quarterback this season. After missing most of twenty twenty

183
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: four following a ruptured achilles and then missing all of

184
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five after re injuring the achilles during a

185
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: rehab session, Watson, now thirty, is healthy in a expected

186
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: to compete with Shudor Sanders and Dylan Gabriel for the

187
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: starting job. Haslam said he believes with new head coach

188
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: Todd Monkin that Watson will get a fresh start and

189
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: will be full go when the team returns for offseason

190
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: conditioning on April seventh. I guess when you've invested two

191
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed and have gotten little

192
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: return on investment, you're willing to leave the door open

193
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: for anything.

194
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: You have gotten a negative return on that investment. The

195
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: pr alone wasn't worth two hundred and thirty million bucks.

196
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: He's been off the radar for good, has been persona

197
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: on grata for three years. Yes, the Cleveland Browns. If

198
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: you know when you find yourself in a hole. The

199
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: first thing you need to do, and this goes for

200
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: a football team on the field the first time, and

201
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: you're in a bad spot in your own life and

202
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: you're the first thing you need to do is stop digging.

203
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: The Browns need to put the shovel aside and stop

204
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: digging a deeper hole for them to climb out of.

205
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: And man, I just Deshaun Watson has so much baggage

206
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: with him, and now you're going to throw him into

207
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: a room with Shador Sanders, who already you know, who

208
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: carries his own little bit of you know, at least

209
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: a travel bag, right of luggage. Remember last year they

210
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: had five quarterbacks in the room, right, and they traded Listen,

211
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: checked it. I'm not this is true. They go five

212
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in their room last preseason, the Browns did five

213
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: of them, all competing to try and win the job.

214
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say who. I'm just gonna say they

215
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: have the competition. A guy wins the starting job out

216
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: of the five guys they got, and they trade the

217
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: guy part way through the season. So just stop digging.

218
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: That's all I mean is stop digging, Stop digging.

219
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: Ditch the shovel.

220
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Ditch the shovel and start making your way out of

221
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: the hole that you're created for yourself.

222
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see how that goes. The Minnesota Vikings will

223
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: exercise the fifty year option on receiver Jordan Adison's contract.

224
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: Interim GM Rob Brazinski confirm that at the owner's meetings.

225
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: That means Addison is now signed through the twenty seventh season.

226
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: He was the number twenty three pick of the twenty

227
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: twenty three draft, so he'll get two point six million

228
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: this year and is now on the books for eighteen

229
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: million in twenty seven. Among the receivers from the twenty

230
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: twenty three draft class, he ranks first in touchdown receptions,

231
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: fifth in catches, and fifth in yards per game. So

232
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: he's been pretty productive for them. It also helps when

233
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: you have Justin Jefferson on the other side.

234
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got a head coach that can squeeze

235
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: every last drop of potential out of any quarterback that's

236
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: taken snaps up there except JJ McCarthy except JJ J.

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, and now they got Kyler Murray who can

238
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: sling it. Kyler can throw it. You can say what

239
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: you want about his production and all of that, he

240
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: does have a live arm. We'll see what Kevin O'Connell

241
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: can do it.

242
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: The advent of an eighteen game regular season schedule was

243
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: being discussed a lot by members of the league's brass.

244
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: They acknowledge that player safety in a second bye week

245
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: will probably be necessary components, but they believe in eighteenth

246
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: game will facilitate the growth of the game overseas with

247
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: an expanded international slate, a clear goal for the league.

248
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: While it is not something that is on the table

249
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: this year at the owners meetings, it is going to

250
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: gain traction here in the very near future. And obviously

251
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: there's a players association to negotiate with on that front

252
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: as well, and as we know, that kind of stuff

253
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: takes time. But it's interesting that it's being bandied about

254
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 3: and discussed and people are theorizing on how to look.

255
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: Robert Kraft was quoted in a story that I read,

256
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: and it seems like the main impetus for this is

257
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: not just more revenue from the networks that air the games,

258
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: because you're providing them with more inventory with an eighteenth

259
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: regular season game, but it seems like this is a

260
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: main component to grow the game internationally. They feel that

261
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: an eighteenth game will facilitate that because they'll be able

262
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: to expand the international schedule that much more, presumably because

263
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: they'll have a second bye week in the schedule somewhere

264
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: as well to account for the long distance travel that

265
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: teams will have to undergo.

266
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Let's review the best plan there is eighteen games, called

267
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: the Tasker Plan. They need to start the regular season

268
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: a little earlier, two weeks before Labor Day regular season

269
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: games and the entire league takes Labor Day weekend off.

270
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Let us all take a breath, and then they plunge

271
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: into the regular season the rest of the sixteen games

272
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: the weekend after Labor Day team game schedule with US

273
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: bye week sprinkled in for everybody after that. That's the

274
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: way it should be.

275
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: M Yeah, I tend to think they're going to try

276
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: to push it into late February and then to have

277
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl the day before President's Day.

278
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: I get it. But here's the thing. I I think

279
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: it's better to have more games in the better weather

280
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: in the Northeast. Don't disagree that would that would lengthen

281
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: your season on the near end and get you started

282
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: and have more games where you don't have to, and

283
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,479
Speaker 1: your tickets are easier to sell up in the Northeast

284
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: and all of that. So my way's better.

285
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: Okay, you're a title to your opinion. It's a good plan.

286
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: I like your plan.

287
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: That's it's the best plan. Yeah, maybe they'll have good

288
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't have too many good plans.

289
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll ask you to present them.

290
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: This may be one of the all time great plans

291
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: I've ever come up with. Aside from NFL, NFL cities

292
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: and NFL cities. Another plan I had also.

293
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: At the owners meetings. It was considered a formality, but

294
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: it is now official. Las Vegas was awarded the twenty

295
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: twenty nine Super Bowl, so the Super Bowl be going

296
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: back to Las Vegas in twenty twenty nine. NFL Draft

297
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: news Alabama quarterback Tye Simpson, who could be the second

298
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: quarterback off the board, as pre draft visits scheduled with

299
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, Dolphins, and Browns. He also had a private

300
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: workout with the Jets. Meanwhile, Miami quarterback Carson Beck also

301
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: had pre draft thirty visits set up with the Cardinals, Dolphins,

302
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: and Steelers. He also met with the just last week

303
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: ahead of his pro day, so that's kind of the

304
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: nuts and bolts of some of the pre draft visits

305
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: which are happening all around the league right now. A

306
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: lot of teams crossing their t's and dotting their eyes.

307
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: And you even heard Brandon Bean say yesterday, when they

308
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: get back on the owner's meetings, the personnel department will

309
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: finalize the draft board because all the medical rechecks will

310
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 3: be coming in next week, and so any tweaks that

311
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: they feel are the board is set, but it's not final,

312
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: and they will tweak the board accordingly based on any

313
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: other information they gather between now in the draft, with

314
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: the last set of pre draft thirty visits that they're undertaking,

315
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: as well as the medical recheck information that comes back

316
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: from Indianapolis.

317
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: The thirty visits are what you want to watch. And

318
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: it's not so much that they brought this player in

319
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: and that player in, and that player in and this

320
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: other player in. To me, it's about this position group

321
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: they brought in. There's like two of these they brought in,

322
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,239
Speaker 1: and two of these others they brought in, and four

323
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: of these others they brought in. You know, if they're

324
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: bringing in nine wide receivers and one defensive lineman, that

325
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: tells me more than the guy that they brought in. Yeah,

326
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: that's an exaggeration. They're not gonna do that, but you

327
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, the position groups is who I

328
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: really focus in on.

329
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: The other common practice that Brandon Bean has undertaken in

330
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 3: his time here is he will bring in not just

331
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: top you know, seventy five talents on a pre draft

332
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: thirty visit. There are times where the Bills have brought

333
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: in prospects who are probably a late day three pick,

334
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: potential undrafted if they liked the player enough for the

335
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: back of their roster. They'll bring a potential late seventh

336
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: to undrafted free agent type player in for a visit

337
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 3: to give them an edge where if the team, if

338
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: the player does go undrafted, yes, and now teams are

339
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: calling him, the Bills could have a leg up and

340
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: an edge because they demonstrated interest in the player brought

341
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: him in. He feels like he knows the Bills maybe

342
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: better than some of the other teams that are calling him,

343
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: and it could tip the scales in the Bills favor

344
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 3: in landing the player.

345
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: When you're a kid, it's like the team invested in you,

346
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: they paid for you to come up and visit them

347
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: and they spent some time with you. That's a little

348
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: bit of an investment in you without you know, without

349
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: any guarantee of a return on that investment. So they

350
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: were willing and liked you enough to bring you into town.

351
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: That says something.

352
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: So it's like you said, Brownie, that it's it helps

353
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: you in the back end of your roster in the

354
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: second and third day of the draft, for sure, I

355
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: think yeah.

356
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 3: And they've used that tactic before, because I remember distinctly

357
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: there were a few years back. It's like I haven't

358
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: heard that name because I I mean, we try to

359
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: familiarize ourselves, like the top one hundred and fifty players

360
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: in the draft, and then we do our best to

361
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: get squeezed in the other guys before the draft arrives.

362
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: And sometimes there'll be names like, oh, I'm not familiar

363
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 3: with that name, let me see you. And then you

364
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: look the guy up and it's like, well, it could

365
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: be a seventh round or undrafted player, and I was like, Okay,

366
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 3: I see what they're doing here. You know, they're trying

367
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: to express interest in that player. So should the player

368
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: go undrafted and they're interested, that kid's gonna be like, oh,

369
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 3: you know what, the Bills had me up there for

370
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 3: the visit. I kind of like what I saw, like

371
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: what I heard. I know this other team might be

372
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: offering me five five thousand more dollars in a signing ponus,

373
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: but I think I'm gonna go here for the reasons

374
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: they kind of laid out for me as to why

375
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: I was attractive to them.

376
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Plus the agent.

377
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 3: Weighs in on this also, obviously, But.

378
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's all about the individual guy and the

379
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: opportunity that is and how it's presented to him. You know,

380
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: a place like like Buffalo is very different from the

381
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: place like Cleveland Browns. Who their quarterbacks are question mark?

382
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Is that's not a question here in Buffalo. Are they

383
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: going to be good enough to get to the playoffs? Maybe?

384
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: Maybe not. But if you're here in Buffalo, you're in,

385
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: let's go, then the expectations are much different. So all

386
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: that goes into the equation.

387
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: Topic of discussion for you today though, concerns the Bills

388
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: and which player you feel must step into a bigger

389
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 3: role for the Bills this coming season. You can let

390
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 3: us know at one Bills live on the tweet sheet

391
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: as you can hop on Twitter and express yourself there

392
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: and give us a player. Tell us why you think

393
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 3: that player has to step into a bigger role this season.

394
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people are hoping that some

395
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: of the influx of youth that has been added to

396
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: this roster the last couple of years, it's time for

397
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 3: them to step into larger roles. Do you take a look, alone, Steve,

398
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 3: at all of the veteran players on Buffalo's roster last

399
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 3: year that are still sitting out there in free agency

400
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 3: and not only have not been brought back to Buffalo's roster,

401
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: but haven't signed anywhere else. You're talking about Joey Bosa,

402
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: Da Kwon Jones, Larry Ogan, Joby, Matt Mulano, Trdavius White,

403
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 3: Jordan Poyer, Brandon Cooks, Shaq Thompson, Jordan Phillips, Gabe Davis,

404
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: Matt Prater. I mean, all those guys are sitting out there,

405
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: and it leads me to think, and look, I'm not

406
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 3: ruling out the possibility of one or two of those

407
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: players coming back post draft. Brandon Cooks was mentioned yesterday

408
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: by Brandon Bean as we know someone they're having conversations with.

409
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: But I think there's a youth movement going on here,

410
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: and I think they're really going to push young players

411
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: to give them more on a week by week basis

412
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: and really pushed to start or have a significant role

413
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 3: on this team. And we'll hear from Joe Brady in

414
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: our next segment addressing it to some extent on the

415
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball in one of his comments

416
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: that he made today at the owners meetings. But I

417
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: think this is very telling because if you remember, one

418
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: of the older knocks on the Bills was they don't

419
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 3: push young players onto the field early unless they are

420
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 3: so exceptional you can't keep them off the field. And

421
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: so there was this slow burn process with young players,

422
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: even high draft choices. And I'm wondering with the change

423
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: at head coach if that changes as well to young

424
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: players get on the field faster.

425
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Joe Brady, they never played young players. James Cook sat

426
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: behind Devin's singletary. When you think about that and the

427
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: athletic difference between those two guys, that'll tell you everything.

428
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: The only time.

429
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: They let young players on the field early in their

430
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: careers was way early in McDermott's era.

431
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, when the rosters.

432
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: Josh Tremaine Edmonds Dion was on the field, although he's

433
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: here earlier. But that's that's has been something you and

434
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: I have, Yeah, it's and it was anything was hard

435
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: to it was hard to criticize anything they did schematically

436
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: or philosophically in the past because they were winning so

437
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: many games because Josh in this offense and they just

438
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: won game So it always seemed to work out for them.

439
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: And even early in McDermott's tenure here, they had a

440
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: top five defense as well, so when Leslie Fraser was

441
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: the coordinator. But as you look back on it and

442
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: you see some of these guys emerge, man, it's it's something.

443
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: The only time, and the exception to that was probably

444
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: Christian Benford, right, or Terrell Bernard. Maybe Christian Benford going

445
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: from a seventh or sixth, sixth round draft pick to

446
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: the starting corner on opening day, Yeah, that's different. But

447
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: as a rule, you and I were like going, Wow,

448
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: I wish that guy would get on the field and

449
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see him. Yeah, I think that might be

450
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: a thing.

451
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see if younger players are given

452
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: bigger opportunities to compete to start. One of them could

453
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: be at the left guard spot. It sounds like there'll

454
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: be some defensive line positions up for grabs, and Joe

455
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 3: Brady will address some of those when we play some

456
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: of his comments for you on the other side of

457
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: this break. We step aside here but asking you which

458
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: player must step into a bigger role for the Bills

459
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: this season. Let us know at One Bills Live on Twitter.

460
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: We'll have Joe Brady's comments from the owners meetings next

461
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: here on One Bill's Live. All right, welcome back. As promised,

462
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: Joe Brady addressed the media this morning at the AFC Coachest.

463
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: NFC went yesterday, AFC today, and Joe Brady made himself

464
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: available for quite some time. I went for about forty

465
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: five minutes. So instead of playing you the balance of

466
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 3: those comments, we thought we would just hit the highlights

467
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: for you and bring those comments to you. And to

468
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: no one's surprise, Brady was asked a lot about DJ Moore,

469
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: not only because he's gonna be sitting at the top

470
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: of the Bill's receiving corps, but also because they have

471
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 3: a history together, having worked with one another when Joe

472
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: Brady was the OC in Carolina and DJ Moore was

473
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: a receiver there, So naturally, Joe Brady was asked about

474
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: what he anticipates Dj Moore will do for the scope

475
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: of the offense.

476
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 4: Unfortunate that I know Dj. But DJ has a unique

477
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: skill set that he can play inside, he can play

478
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 4: outside right, he can run, block, he makes dynamic plays

479
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: down the field. You can get the ball in his hands.

480
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 4: He's a little bit like a running back. He can

481
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 4: do so many different things. And you know, knock on wood,

482
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: he plays, he practices. He's out there every day. He's

483
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: playing every game, and he is playing and he's not

484
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 4: coming off the field, and you know that's that's unique

485
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 4: at the wide receiver position. And it's been a while

486
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 4: since I've been coaching him, and I've I've been wanting

487
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,239
Speaker 4: to coach him for the last few years and so

488
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 4: having that opportunity to kind of do it again excites me.

489
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: So that's Coach Brady and what he likes about more,

490
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: which is pretty much everything. But you know, Steve heard

491
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: it in the answer and I did too.

492
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: We say as we started reading up about him, his

493
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: availability is a big deal. He's on the field, he's

494
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: a good player, and he's on the field. What this

495
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: offense went through last year. In the wide receiver room,

496
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: you need a guy who who is.

497
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: There, he's not missed a game in the last five seasons.

498
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: That's that's huge in my opinion, because you think about it,

499
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: particularly if you're in a competition, having a guy who's

500
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: there and lines up every day, every practice, every game

501
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: and is on the field. If you're trying to get

502
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: playing time, if you're trying to be one of those

503
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: guys that gets your find a way on the field

504
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen in this offense, you gotta be You've

505
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: got to do the same. You've got to be available

506
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: you because every time you take a practice off or

507
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: miss a game with an injury, you're dropping behind a

508
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: guy who doesn't miss. It's I think it's an enormous

509
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: aspect to this DJ Moore that we talked about a

510
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: little bit. But as you get further and further into

511
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: it and you think of what that room went through

512
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: last year and the wide receivers, that's big. That's really big.

513
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: And DJ Moore, we I mean, nobody's nobody who Even

514
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: the people who hated the trade because the Bills gave

515
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: up way too much won't tell you. DJ Moore is

516
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: a bad player. He's not Jamar Chase or you know,

517
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: one of those. But man, they they don't like it

518
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: because the Bill's paid too much. They don't like it

519
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: because he's not a good player. And if you got

520
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: a good player who's there every week, man, oh man,

521
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: thank you, I wish now you know you needed him

522
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: last year.

523
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: Speaking of durability, the situation involving Dalton Kincaid and finishing

524
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: each of the last two seasons at less than one

525
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: hundred percent and just kind of grinding his way through

526
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: the back half of the season has prompted more questions

527
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: about what kind of plans are in place to ensure

528
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: that he's more durable and can be healthier through the

529
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 3: backstretch of the season, which, as I said, hasn't happened

530
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: each of the last two years due to knee problems,

531
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: a piece of persistent PCL knee injury that he did

532
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: not get surgery on this offseason because three different doctors said, no,

533
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: you should let it heal on its own and it'll

534
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: be fine. So Joe Brady was asked about whether there's

535
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 3: a plan in place to make sure or to enhance

536
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: the chances of Dalton Kincaid getting through the twenty twenty

537
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: sixth season healthier than the last two.

538
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 4: You can't really predict the future with regards to the

539
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: medical element of it. And but man, you you guys

540
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: saw how I mean, you saw him in the playoffs, right,

541
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: and he's he's a difference maker, and you get him

542
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: in matchups both you know, safeties, linebackers. You feel like

543
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 4: it's not in the critical moments Josh looking his way

544
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 4: and uh, but you want him out there. And so

545
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 4: it's been He's been a lot of communication with him

546
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 4: this offseason. Look, he did everything he had to do

547
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: last offseason too, Like it was it wasn't one of

548
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: those things where he was he was injured, took off

549
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: the off season and then showed up and was like, hey,

550
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: I'm still injured. It was like, no, he lived in

551
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: the weight room last year, lived in it all got stronger,

552
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 4: you know. I think it was just something that was

553
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: he was just having to figure out how to play

554
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: with I mean, he is as tough as can be.

555
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 4: Like there's a lot of things that you know he's

556
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: pushing through that you guys might not see. But and

557
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: I think some of it is just learning how to

558
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: play with certain elements of some movements that it might

559
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 4: not feel great, and he's he's had to push through that.

560
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: But when he's out there, we're better. There's no that's

561
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: that's undeniable. And getting a plan with our strength staff,

562
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 4: with our science performance team of figuring out what that

563
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 4: looks like week the week, like how much does he

564
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: have to practice or that he's ready to go, what

565
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: do we have to do with his movements? Because I'm

566
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 4: understanding how important he is, right and I do believe

567
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: practice is important, but I also don't want a guy

568
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: where he does so much in practice that he can't

569
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 4: be the same person in the game, and so figuring

570
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 4: out the abs and flows of it. But look, he's dynamic,

571
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: and we're better when he's on the field. I'm glad.

572
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: I'm glad we picked up his options, so I got

573
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: him for a couple of years.

574
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, I mean it sounds like there's a plan,

575
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: a plan in place. They've huddled up with sports science

576
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: and strength and conditioning and athletic training to ensure that,

577
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: you know, he's feeling as good as possible by the

578
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: time they get to December. That has not been the

579
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: case the last two years. They had to triage him

580
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: basically through the last six weeks of the season. Now,

581
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 3: he did score a touchdown in each of the two

582
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 3: playoff games that the Bills played in this past season,

583
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: so he was effected, but he was fighting through stuff,

584
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: as you heard Joe Brady say. So they're trying to

585
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: avoid those pitfalls so he can be, you know, tip

586
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: top and maybe make even a bigger difference in the

587
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: passing game once they get to the postseason this year.

588
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's no coincidence that the offense just runs

589
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: better and scores more points when he's on the field,

590
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: and their one loss record is better too. This just

591
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: in so it's not a coincidence. He is a really,

592
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: really good tight end and he has been since the

593
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: day stepped on the field for the Bills, and the

594
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: only issue is availability and his ability to play one

595
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Yeah, so he's elite when he's healthy.

596
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think Josh's passer rating when he targeted

597
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: was like one fifty.

598
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unbelievable. The guy's really played extremely well, but

599
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: he's just been in and out of the lineup too

600
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: much and been hampered by injuries. So that's it.

601
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 3: With Josh Allen turning thirty years old in May, the

602
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 3: question has come up, and it did again at the

603
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: owner's meetings as to whether or not it is time

604
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen to change his style of play and

605
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: approach to the game where he is not shy about

606
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: taking off and running and potentially exposing himself to some hits.

607
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: So Joe Brady was asked that question, is it time

608
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: to take a different approach with Josh Allen's game? Here

609
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: was his answer.

610
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I even even as his quarterback coach, like

611
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: you don't, I never wanted Josh to get hit, right,

612
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: Like my goal as the QB coach, as the OC

613
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 4: is now the head coach is like I want Josh

614
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 4: Allen to play as long as Josh Allen physically could play, right,

615
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 4: Like the game of football is better off for Josh

616
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 4: Allen playing. And you know the guys that I grew

617
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 4: up watching, like these guys were playing eighteen, you know, shoot,

618
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: Brady Breeze, these guys were playing twenty years right, And

619
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: so's that's what you hope for a guy like Josh.

620
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: And there's going to come a time in his career

621
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: where he's going to have to. You know, his legs

622
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: aren't going to be able to do what he you

623
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: know what he can do, and he's gonna have to

624
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 4: become a true pocket passer. We're not there yet, right,

625
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: but so I have to be mindful of that when

626
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm calling plays. We know in the past game Josh

627
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: is going to scramble. That's it's so you've got to

628
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 4: count those scrambles knowing that that there's gonna be some

629
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 4: of the runs. And so tell me the time in

630
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 4: the game, the importance of it. Where we are in

631
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 4: the season, that's when I think some of just the

632
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: true designed runs come into play. But if I ask him,

633
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: he'll be like, hey, run me forty times, scroll at

634
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 4: forty times. I really don't care. I just would like him.

635
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: Now we got a grass field, I hope he slides.

636
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: A little more.

637
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, hoping he slides a little more on the grass.

638
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 3: He would slide on the field here when it was

639
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: terf So I mean we've seen him do that.

640
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get everybody fans and you know, hands up

641
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: in the air, going, don't let Josh get hurt. Josh,

642
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: You's gonna play quarterback the way Josh wants to play quarterback,

643
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: and he's going to adjust his play in the moment

644
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: and and also tactically in certain situations. He'll start to

645
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: learn it. Josh Is You've seen it since the day

646
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: he drafted. The guy's as self aware as any human

647
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: being you'll ever come across. If he needs to change,

648
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: he'll know it before any of us notice it, and

649
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: he will do it. He has done it in the past,

650
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: and he continues to do it. You can. I think

651
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: you can trust Josh and his ability to manage his

652
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: own game. You just so don't. I don't think you

653
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: alter your game plans or whatever because you don't want

654
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: Josh to get hurt. Certainly, you're not having him run,

655
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, design just design quarterback runs like he did

656
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: early in his career. They don't do that anymore anyway.

657
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that for a long time. Yeah, most

658
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: of his runs are happens. That's right. Go back to

659
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati game last year. He drops back, they got

660
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: a blitz on an under blocked pass rusher, he throws

661
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: a duke and it's a forty two yard run touchdown.

662
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

663
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: He wins the game like that. Those are his runs now,

664
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 1: and of course the quarterback Tush push. You just don't

665
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: see that anymore. They've adjusted that well, and Josh is

666
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: on board with that and probably has a voice in it.

667
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: So I think the conversation about making sure Josh doesn't

668
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: do this or Dust doesn't do that, or keep you

669
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: it needs to calm down. Yeah, he played to win

670
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: the game, and Josh knows how to win that game,

671
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: so he's he's better than anybody else in the clutch moments.

672
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: There you have it, that's it.

673
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 3: Keon Coleman has been a bit of a flash point

674
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 3: this off season through you know the press conference that

675
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: happened earlier, and Joe Brady responded by saying he was

676
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 3: a guy that has stood on was the one that

677
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: stood on the table for Keon Coleman and maintains that

678
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 3: he's going to be a player here. So where things

679
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: go with Keon Coleman this offseason and into next season

680
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 3: is what was asked of Joe Brady today. Here was

681
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 3: his response to that.

682
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 4: Kean. The thing with Kean is from a football standpoint, man,

683
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: his work ethic, his approach, how he's going through it.

684
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 4: If Kan just takes care of and I know I'm

685
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 4: talking about his personal but if he just takes care

686
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 4: of himself off the field and he and he just

687
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: shows up. He's gonna be good to go. Like the growth,

688
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: the growth that Kan's gonna have from this year to next,

689
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 4: Like Kean is is on our football team, Ken Like

690
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 4: I've never said anything neg I've I was the first

691
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 4: I tell everybody, like, I want a Kean Coleman. So

692
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 4: we're not We're not. Kean's not gonna just be pushed aside,

693
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 4: Like He's gonna continue to developing. Drew Troll's gonna we

694
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 4: have a great plan of what we're gonna do to

695
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 4: be able to get him to be the receiver that

696
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 4: we ultimately drafted to be. And I'm we're in constant

697
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: communication with him. You know, he works right, he's he

698
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 4: reminds me a lot of the guys that was with

699
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 4: that LSU in terms of their personality, their work ethic.

700
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: It's just about now just making sure I'm there doing

701
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 4: what I have to do so that I can go

702
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 4: out on football field and do my thing right.

703
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: So I mean nothing earth shattering there, but I think

704
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: it's important to know that the head coach clearly wants

705
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: him here, believes that they can make it work going forward,

706
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: But there is some responsibility on Keon's part as well.

707
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: I think the new receivers coach Drew Terrell, who is

708
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: significantly younger than the previous receivers coach Adam Henry, may

709
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: facilitate the coach to play a relationship a little bit

710
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: more effectively because they can probably relate to one another

711
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: a bit better. Hopefully that helps. But you heard Joe Brady.

712
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: He was pretty plain like he takes care of the

713
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: off the field stuff. He'll be fine, right and that

714
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: you know.

715
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: And we're all aware of that and we've seen it.

716
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Keon he does. He does work hard, he

717
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: does practice hard, he puts out videos. He's been coached

718
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: by some you know, guys who have been great players

719
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: in the league. So yeah, he's the it's maturity issues,

720
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: it's professionalism. It's it's not separating your personal life so

721
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: much from your from your professional life. You got it.

722
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: Those two things have to be intertwined and it has

723
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: to be you have to be that guy all the

724
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: time out you can't. And those are some of the

725
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: things that you got to see evidence of.

726
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: Finally, the nose tackle position was brought up with the

727
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: advent of the three to four defensive system here being

728
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: brought in by defensive coordinator Jim Leonard. People are wondering, hey,

729
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: there have been no defensive tackle additions to the roster

730
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: in free agency, So where does that leave the position?

731
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 3: And what are you looking at on your roster to

732
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: help fill that void. Here was Joe Brady's comment on

733
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: that subject.

734
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, we we've invested in the

735
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: D line last couple years, right, Like you look at

736
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 4: it just the unfortunate reality is, you know some of

737
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 4: them are getting hurt, right, but you know it's you know,

738
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 4: we've we've drafted you know, Carter in Landon Jackson and

739
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 4: Dion and TJ like we've put we we have invested

740
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: in that, right And uh, the unique thing everybody talks

741
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 4: about the three four defense, right, but like we're not

742
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 4: just living in three to four on every single down, Right,

743
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: there's a lot of our snaps is going to have

744
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 4: two d tackles on the field, right, So there's there's

745
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 4: there's a lot of different scenarios with it. I think

746
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 4: Dean Walker was an outstanding get where we got him right, like,

747
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: and he's a guy that I'm excited to see like,

748
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 4: I'm excited to the growth. A lot of growth happens

749
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 4: from year one to year two and a lot of

750
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 4: these guys, right and and he's a guy that brings

751
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 4: versatility that can play the four I position, We play

752
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: the nose, you know, and seeing what that kind of

753
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 4: looks like. And part of the it's not an issue,

754
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: it's it's it is what it is. We have some

755
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 4: guys coming back from injuries, right, Like we get to OTA's,

756
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 4: there's a lot of guys can't do certain things right

757
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 4: and so a lot of this stuff we're gonna have

758
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 4: to sort through it come you know, come training camp, Tis.

759
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: But the reality is from a D line perspective, one

760
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 4: it gets real once pads come on, and so we're

761
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 4: always looking at finding ways to improve it in but

762
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 4: the perk of Jim right as Jim's not like, hey,

763
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 4: this is all I can do. Like say, we come

764
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 4: out and we are like, we do not have three

765
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: dtackles that can play We're not going to play three

766
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 4: four defense, right And that's not to say that we

767
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 4: don't believe in it. That's saying that we're not just

768
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: going to bang our heads on the wall if we

769
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 4: don't have guys that can do what, you know, what

770
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 4: we're needing them to do. And so, but I do

771
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 4: think we have a clear vision for the guys on

772
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 4: the inside, for the draft picks. And I know a

773
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 4: lot of times it looks like, hey, we get to

774
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: this point and fre agency is over. He gets to

775
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 4: this point, and but like I mean, we got the draft,

776
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: we got after after the draft to kind of clear

777
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 4: some things up. Uh, there's there's guys at all positions

778
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 4: that we still have in our mind. And so our

779
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 4: roster's not done being built, especially with competition.

780
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 3: So what do you what do you take from that?

781
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: Because we've heard from the beginning that Jim Leonard's three

782
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: four defense is going to be very multiple and varied,

783
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: and I'm I'm almost tempted, based on that description to

784
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 3: call it a hybrid type defense.

785
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: That yeah, they're gonna build it around the players. That's

786
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: what you have to do, right, And just like last year,

787
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: they evolved away, you know, in the desperation because of

788
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: the injuries, they went to a three three five. I

789
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: mean that's not a three four, it's not a four

790
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: to three, it's a three three five. And that's what

791
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: they kind of did this you can bet that Jim

792
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: Leonard is gonna have some when he finds out who

793
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: can do what up front. That will dictate the front

794
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: and who's on the field.

795
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 3: And I will say more of the modern day three

796
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 3: four defensive fronts do have two defensive tackles on the field.

797
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 3: With a defensive end, he goes DT DT D end

798
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 3: two outside linebackers rather than the traditional nose tackle, and

799
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: then two heavier defensive ends on either side of him.

800
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 3: So I'm presuming we're going to see a good deal

801
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: of that. But Brady also confirmed that there are going

802
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 3: to be times where Dion Walker is the quote unquote

803
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: nose tackle at six seven, three thirty five, right.

804
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: And it will probably be TJ. Sanders and the rest

805
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: of them as well. Yeah, Land and Jackson at all. Yes,

806
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: all those guys are going to be on the field

807
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: at some point. And when they get there, I mean,

808
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Dwayne Carter and he's gonna get some reps. TJ. Sanders,

809
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: Dion Walker, those are the three that come in.

810
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 3: Those guys are all drafted in the last two seasons.

811
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: They're young dudes who want to get on the field,

812
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: and we'll see what they can do Dion Walker. It's

813
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: easy to say, ah, there's your nose tackle because he's

814
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty plus pounds and he carries it

815
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: really well and he moves. But you don't know. I

816
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know. They're going to build a defensive scheme around

817
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: what guys can do and what will be the best

818
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: matchup for any given team. They do, and it may

819
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: be so multiple that maybe that they change it back

820
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: and forth week to week because of who they're playing.

821
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 3: You're relying a lot on the brain power of your

822
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 3: players to do that on a weekly base, right, and

823
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 3: you're especially a first year in a system.

824
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: And you're also relying a lot on your coordinators and

825
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: coaches to get him up up to speed. We'll see.

826
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: I would anticipate though, as always. Like I said earlier

827
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 1: and I keep saying it, they build everything. They built

828
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: the offense around Josh, they added James Cook, they got

829
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: that offensive line. That's what their offense was. They ran

830
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: it as much as they threw it. A year ago,

831
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: not too many teams did that, and that was because

832
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: of the players they had on the field. It's because

833
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: Kincaid was in and out of the lineup. Wasn't one

834
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent. They had four tight ends and the Jackson

835
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: Halls who were really good, and Reggie Gilliam who's really good.

836
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: Their slot and interior receivers, the tight ends and Khalil

837
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: Shakir were really good. That was the way their offense looked.

838
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: And you can just transpose that philosophy onto the defensive

839
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: side this year, and that's what it's going to evolve into.

840
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 3: Gotta take a break here. When we come back, will

841
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 3: bring you the approved rules changes that the Competition Committee

842
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 3: just permitted and ratified. We'll run them down for you

843
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 3: next here on One Bill's Live. All right, back on

844
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: one Bill's Live. And the NFL owners have approved four

845
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: rules changes this according to NFL Network, The Competition Committees

846
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 3: permitting the kicking team to declare an on side kick

847
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 3: at any time during the game. It was previously only

848
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 3: when the team was trailing. Now it is at any

849
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: time that they can tell the officials we're going to

850
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 3: do an on side kick. There is no surprise element,

851
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 3: it's just that they can do it whenever they want

852
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 3: in a football game. Competition Committee also eliminated the kicking

853
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 3: team's incentive to intentionally kick the ball out of bounds

854
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 3: when kicking off from the fifty yard line. They would

855
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 3: do that because it's only spotted. The ball is only

856
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 3: spotted twenty five yards from the spot at the kick previously,

857
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 3: so that would be the twenty five yard line for

858
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 3: teams that after a penalty's assessed, after a scoring play

859
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 3: gets marked off, they kick off at the fifty. They said, well,

860
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm just going to kick it out of bounds because

861
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 3: they're only going to get it at the twenty five.

862
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: Why am I going to let them return it now?

863
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: They would only the ball would be spotted at the twenty.

864
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 3: On a touchback, they kick it out it. I gotta

865
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: read the full thing.

866
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: They're further incentivizing that the choice of getting a touch

867
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: back rather than kicking out of bounds. I don't know

868
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: what the gain is because it goes out of bounds

869
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: to the sideline or goes out of the back of

870
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: the end zone. That goes out of the back of

871
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: the end zone, they get it at the twenty. That

872
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: goes out of bounds on the sideline, they get it

873
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: at the twenty five. They're incentivizing kicking it through the

874
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: end zone rather than out of bounds. I don't know.

875
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 3: To me, it's not enough of an e set, but well,

876
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: Stavid work, who cares.

877
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: If you're kicking off from the fifty should be able

878
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: to kick it through the end zone. If you do that,

879
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: it's better than kicking it out of bounds now.

880
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 3: NFL owners also approved the Competition Committee changed to modify

881
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 3: the kickoff alignment requirements for the receiving team players in

882
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 3: the setup zone. I think this allows more players to

883
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 3: not have their foot on the restraining line so they

884
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: can get back and block faster. I think there was

885
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 3: they're trying to make the returns more productive, and so

886
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: they're trying to give guys in the setup zone more

887
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 3: time to leave and have a step or two gain

888
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 3: so they can get their blocking technique or blocking skin

889
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 3: set up. Competition Committee for one year only to allow

890
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 3: the NFL Officiating Department to correct clear and obvious misses

891
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 3: made by on field officials that impact the game in

892
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: the event that there is a workstoppage involving the game

893
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 3: officials represented by the NFL Referees Association. So this is

894
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: in the event that they have to use replacement refs,

895
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 3: the NFL Officiating Department will have greater power to correct

896
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 3: clear and obvious misses made by on field officials that

897
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 3: may not be experienced or as qualified as existing officials

898
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 3: because they're replacements, and they'll try to correct egregious errors

899
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 3: made by on field officials if they are in replacement officials.

900
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: This fall, they've also said that it's been reported too

901
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: that they just approved an amended rule change that it

902
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: not only will allow league personnel which means like the

903
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: box the eye in the sky, to consult with on

904
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: field officials when considering disqualifications for both flagrant football acts

905
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: and non football acts without being without there having been

906
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: a penalty on the field. So if there's no flag call,

907
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: but there's a non football act like DK Metcalf taking

908
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: a swipe at somebody, that can result in a penalty

909
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 1: put in on the field and the guy's getting ejected.

910
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: So they can have a guy ejected for a non

911
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: football act even if there's not a flag on the

912
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: field thrown if the officials, if there's a melee or

913
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: whatever and the officials didn't see it or couldn't see

914
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: it or were blocked from view, they can have guys

915
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: ejected for throwing punches, throwing kicks, doing something non football

916
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: outside the whistles. I don't have a problem with that. Yeah,

917
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: but that's new. That is new.

918
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 3: Got to take a break here, but when we come back,

919
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 3: it'll be joined by NFL Network senior writer Jeffrey Chatty

920
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 3: hop As. He's going to be going over some of

921
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 3: the biggest questions after NFL free agency, but before the draft,

922
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 3: how are the rosters around the league looking. Jeffrey's gonna

923
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 3: help us out next here on One Bill's Love.

924
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: Look you boys, We're don't do you what today?

925
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 2: He is a feast for the Capitol fie. The cook

926
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: is in the kitchen, looks.

927
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 3: Down the sideline. He's got kickadd for.

928
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 2: A twenty three yard touchdown and it's intercepted.

929
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: Jumping up with the air is bad curtain.

930
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: This the One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

931
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 3: All Right, welcome to the second hour of a Tuesday

932
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 3: edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

933
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 3: and happy to welcome in now NFL Network senior writer

934
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Hidea, who's been busy assessing free agent and the

935
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 3: moves that were made to improve NFL rosters across the

936
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 3: league kind of broke down some of the best moves,

937
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 3: so we figured we better get Jeffrey on. So thanks

938
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 3: for joining us. First of all, Jeffrey appreciate the time

939
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 3: as always, And I guess we should begin with one

940
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: of the bigger moves made by the Bills, which was

941
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: the trade for DJ Moore, you know, acquiring him for

942
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: a second round pick and getting a fifth round pick back.

943
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 3: I think we all understood that the Bills had to

944
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 3: do something at the receiver position to augment not only

945
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 3: player availability, but the talent level. Where did you come

946
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 3: down on this as a fit for Buffalo?

947
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: I like it.

948
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 5: I think you look at what as you just mentioned

949
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 5: the need there. They've been trying to figure this out

950
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 5: for the last two three years, ever since Stefan Diggs

951
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 5: left town. And while DJ Moore is a little bit

952
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 5: older and did not have the year last year that

953
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 5: he would have hoped to have had, he's still an

954
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 5: accomplished player. He's a talented player. I think Josh Allen

955
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 5: loved throwing the football to him. You saw what he's

956
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 5: meant to Chicago's offense when Caleb Williams was there, when

957
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 5: Justin Fields was there, So you know, it's it's easy

958
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 5: to knock this pick than this move, but ultimately I

959
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 5: think it's a good move for Buffalo. It upgrades the position.

960
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: What did you think? And it was it happened right

961
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 1: away as soon as the I guess the finger quotes

962
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: early tampering period began, they announced to be right. So yeah,

963
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: as and we didn't know what the market wide receiver

964
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: market was going to go. And I think most people

965
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: I said this early in our show today, Yeah, DJ

966
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: Moore is a good player. He may not be an

967
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,439
Speaker 1: elite wide receiver, but a very good, very accomplished player,

968
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: very dependable guy, hasn't missed a game in five years.

969
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: But they thought the second rounder was a little high,

970
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: and that's what most of the criticism came from. Does

971
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: the market now that free agencies cool down a bit?

972
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: Does it more justifiably say yeah, the Bills maybe didn't

973
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: pay overpay, but they paid a good price for him.

974
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 5: Oh definitely. And we always tend to jump to conclusions

975
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 5: or have a hot takes after moves like this, and

976
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 5: you see them in a vacuum. But this was not

977
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 5: a great receiver market. If you wanted to go find

978
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 5: winning free agency, you saw aj Brown. Has it moved

979
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 5: from Philadelphia. Yes, you wonder what that's going to take,

980
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 5: but look at what Denver gave up for Jalen Model.

981
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 5: I mean, it's all these transactions. They may seem like

982
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 5: very expensive moves in the moment, but you go seven

983
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 5: eight months down the road and they work out for you,

984
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 5: and nobody remembers what you gave up for. And so ultimately,

985
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 5: if you're the Buffalo Bills, you're trying to win now,

986
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 5: and you're looking at a conference now where the Chiefs

987
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 5: are trying to get back into this, the Ravens are

988
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 5: trying to get back into this, the Bangles are trying

989
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 5: to get back into this. You have all these other

990
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 5: teams like the Broncos and the Jaguars, the Patriots have

991
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 5: already made a lot of headway as far as improving

992
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 5: their franchises. So I don't worry so much about what

993
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 5: it's going to cost you down the road, because ultimately,

994
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 5: if you've got a player that you think can help

995
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 5: you win games, that's all it really matters.

996
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: All right.

997
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 3: So let's flip it to the defensive side of the ball,

998
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 3: where I think the general consensus was the Bills had

999
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 3: more work to do there, not only because they were

1000
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 3: getting someone long in the tooth at some positions, but

1001
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 3: they need more speed on that side of the ball.

1002
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 3: I don't know that they've added that in droves just yet.

1003
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 3: Maybe that comes in the draft. But Bradley Chubb certainly

1004
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: was somebody that they felt was necessary to augment the

1005
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 3: pass rush and looking at that penciled in front seven,

1006
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Bradley Chubb is one of only two players in

1007
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 3: that front seven right now with NFL experience in a

1008
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 3: three to four system which is being brought in by

1009
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 3: Jim Leonard. Michael Hoyts the other one, and he's coming

1010
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 3: back from an achilles injury and may not be ready

1011
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: for the start of the regular season. To what level

1012
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 3: of concern should we have knowing that you have a

1013
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 3: lot of talented young defensive players in their front seven,

1014
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 3: but not long on experience in this kind of a system.

1015
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 3: What level of concern should Bill's fans have about that?

1016
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 5: Well, there's going to be a transition period. I mean,

1017
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 5: it's always going to be a bit of a chain

1018
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 5: when you're going to a new system. The thing I've

1019
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 5: always liked about the three four and Jim Leonard's part

1020
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 5: of that, vig Fangio, you know, Mike McDonald, whoever else

1021
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 5: came out of the Ravens. He's been in that system

1022
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 5: for a long time now. Is that it's so scheme dependent,

1023
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 5: and so you can scheme up pass rush, you can

1024
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 5: create opportunity. You don't have to have great players all

1025
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 5: over the place just you know, wrecking things. You can

1026
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 5: create a unit that can work together in cohesively. So

1027
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,479
Speaker 5: that's the big thing. Is this the communication, getting guys

1028
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 5: on the same page, getting guys comfortable. But I love

1029
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,720
Speaker 5: the fact that they're going to be a more attacking defense.

1030
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 5: I know that's Jim Leonard's background. He comes from Denver

1031
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 5: where he was there with fans, Joseph you Sola that

1032
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 5: defense was doing. I'm sure in the draft they're gonna

1033
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 5: be looking at edge players and trying to find more

1034
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 5: hybrid type edge rushers. But I like the idea of

1035
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 5: what they're trying to do because I think it's time

1036
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 5: for change.

1037
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: There set the price aside free agency being what it is.

1038
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: We don't know what these guys are asking, what their

1039
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: representations asking. Is there a guy out there that you thinking,

1040
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, if Buffalo picks him up, that he'll really

1041
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 1: help him because there are guys out there, and we

1042
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: know there are some veteran guys who are waiting to

1043
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: see what teams draft who so they can pick their

1044
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: spot where they can get on the field. They're not

1045
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: gonna go in where somebody drafted a number one guy

1046
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: at their spot. So is there a guy out there

1047
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: who's waiting in the wings that you think if Buffalo

1048
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: gets him at might move the needle.

1049
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's one right now. I like

1050
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 5: the movie they made last year with Joey Bosa. I

1051
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 5: thought that was a great move, and I think he's

1052
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 5: still out there right right. Yeah, as far as I know,

1053
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 5: he's still out there looking for work. So it might

1054
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 5: make sense to bring him back because he really brought

1055
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 5: some juice to that pass rush when he came in.

1056
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 5: I know he didn't finish as strong as he'd hope,

1057
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 5: but I remember him playing against the Chiefs and he

1058
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 5: was a difference maker in that kind of game. You're

1059
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 5: getting guys like that for those kinds of games, right,

1060
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 5: You're getting guys to play against the Chiefs, to play

1061
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 5: against the Ravens, to play against the Patriots now, and

1062
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 5: so he's a name that comes to mind immediately. I

1063
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 5: don't know if there's anybody else who really moves the

1064
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 5: meter for me right now. I know I guys who

1065
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 5: are out there look at what I up and last

1066
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 5: year there were a lot of guys who showed up

1067
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 5: Blayton camp and made a huge difference. But I like

1068
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 5: where Buffalo is and I've always felt this way. I

1069
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 5: live in Kansas City, and I've always felt that they've

1070
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 5: had so many tough breaks in the postseason. I know

1071
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 5: the defense hasn't played well, but injuries haven't been part

1072
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 5: of this too. They's had guys get banged up at

1073
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 5: the wrong time. So if what they have can stay healthy,

1074
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 5: I think that should be all right.

1075
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 3: Joe Brady mentioned it at the owner's meetings today. We've

1076
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 3: heard Brandon Bean address it as well. The need to

1077
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 3: add players with an edge and an attitude to the

1078
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball.

1079
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: CJ.

1080
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 3: Gardner Johnson certainly fits that. Bill knowing his style of

1081
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 3: play and not one to keep his mouth shut very

1082
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 3: often either, and Steve has been a proponent of this too.

1083
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 3: You need like four or five guys that are not

1084
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 3: afraid to mix it up and don't care what day

1085
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 3: of the week it is, don't care when they roll

1086
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 3: the ball out, They're gonna bring it because that lifts

1087
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 3: the level of everybody else around them. The Bill's clearly

1088
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 3: felt they needed an injection of that. They feel they

1089
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 3: have some of that in CJ. Gardner Johnson. Maybe they

1090
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 3: accumulate more. I don't know, But what kind of fire

1091
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 3: starter can that guy be on the Bills defense?

1092
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 5: I think a fire starter is an understatement for him,

1093
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 5: and I've seen him at pretty much every stop of

1094
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 5: his career. I can't believe he's only twenty eight years

1095
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 5: old because it seems like he's been playing for like

1096
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 5: fifteen years.

1097
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: But he is.

1098
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 5: He's a tremendous playmaker. First of all, you go back

1099
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago when he was playing with

1100
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 5: the Lions, he had a lot of interceptions. I think

1101
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 5: everywhere he's gone he's been a difference maker.

1102
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 3: Now.

1103
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 5: He has a big personality and it's hard for some

1104
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 5: teams to handle that in the locker room. That's why

1105
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 5: he moves around so much. But he does bring an edge,

1106
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 5: and I do agree with Steve that I think the

1107
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills, for a long time, for most of the

1108
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 5: Josh Allen era, have been known as nice guys. And

1109
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 5: I know that even again in Kansas City, when the

1110
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 5: Mahomes wasn't playing the Chiefs round the playoffs, they were

1111
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 5: hoping Josh Allen could get it done. They were rooting

1112
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 5: for them. And so I think sometimes you have to

1113
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 5: have some people that you don't like and some people

1114
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 5: who do make it hard on you. And this guy,

1115
00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 5: I'll tell you a quick story. When he was in

1116
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 5: the chart, I remember talk to him and Lion's training

1117
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 5: camp and he was talking about getting guys together to

1118
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 5: pay for fines because they were going to be taking

1119
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 5: people's heads off, and he was excited about doing it.

1120
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 5: He didn't want to play the old He wanted the

1121
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 5: old school NFL to come back. He wanted to be

1122
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 5: a difference maker in that way. So he's going to

1123
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 5: bring a lot of attitude to that defense.

1124
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: What are some of the other teams besides where we

1125
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of get caught up in the Bills this and

1126
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: the Bills that. What are some of the other teams

1127
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: around the league that have kind of hit a home

1128
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: run maybe gotten significantly better this last month or so

1129
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: in the free agent market.

1130
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 5: I think on the AFC side of it, I mean

1131
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 5: it's not going to pay off immediately, but I think

1132
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 5: the Raiders got tremendously better with the moves they made

1133
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 5: on defense. I think even getting Max Crosby back, but

1134
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 5: bringing in Quinny pay kway Walker and to Kobe Dean,

1135
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 5: getting Tarron Johnson over there, I think they've gotten a

1136
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 5: lot better. And if they were able to get the

1137
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 5: quarterback right in the draft, they should be really good.

1138
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,439
Speaker 5: I like what the Chargers did as far as helping

1139
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,959
Speaker 5: improve their interior offensive line. They still need some help,

1140
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 5: but they were looking pretty strug They're looking pretty rough

1141
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 5: there for a while. But they bring in Tyler Biadash

1142
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 5: to play center. They're able to get Joe all back,

1143
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 5: with Shaan Slater back, that's going to help them. That

1144
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 5: the Commanders did really well. They spent a lot of

1145
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 5: money in freeency at the Tennessee Titans did really well

1146
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 5: in terms of what they went out there and get

1147
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 5: guy like Jonathan Franklin, Myers, Wandel Robinson. I think some

1148
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 5: of the teams that did really well spend a lot

1149
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 5: of money they're gonna take. They're gonna take some time

1150
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 5: for them to get better. The teams that were good

1151
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 5: last year didn't have to do as much. But I

1152
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 5: think this league is, you know, has shown that if

1153
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 5: you can make some moves like the Patriots did last year,

1154
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 5: you can get good pretty quick.

1155
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 3: We were kind of thinking with ten head coaching changes

1156
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 3: there would be a more robust trade market. There were trades,

1157
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 3: but we were thinking with with ten new head coaches

1158
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 3: and schemes changing, they were gonna be players that just

1159
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 3: weren't fits anymore in some places it would have to

1160
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 3: go elsewhere, and maybe they would be trade bad. And

1161
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 3: we saw that to some degree. You know, the Titans

1162
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 3: and the Jets with the Jermaine Johnson for Devandre Sweat

1163
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 3: trade and you know, guys moving. You know, I was

1164
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 3: going to a four to three to Andre Sweat's not

1165
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 3: a fit, Let's move them. Like there were trades like that.

1166
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 3: I just thought there would be a lot more. Why

1167
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: do you think that? You know, the trade market was

1168
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 3: rather whole hum despite all of the change that we saw.

1169
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 3: It was a record tied a record ten new head

1170
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 3: coaches in one offseason.

1171
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I know, like the Rams weren't who hum?

1172
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 5: Some team the guas right, Yes, we're making big, big ways,

1173
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 5: But now I think there's some of this It comes

1174
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 5: back to one. I think that every team's got a

1175
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 5: different view of how they want to approach a roster building.

1176
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 5: I think there's more of a belief in and cohesiveness

1177
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 5: and chemistry, and so you're not as quick to get

1178
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 5: rid of assets. I look at what the uh what

1179
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 5: the Seattle Seahawks proved last year and even the Eagles

1180
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 5: year before that is just that the importance of building

1181
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 5: a good roster, having leadership, having unity, having that camaraderie,

1182
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 5: all that stuff that we talk about that sometimes gets overlooked.

1183
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 5: But I think that the importance of holding on the

1184
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 5: guys you believe in and not having to take these

1185
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 5: kinds of swings, I think that's what's affected it. I

1186
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 5: can't speak for everybody, but I look at a team

1187
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 5: like Jacksonville, for example, who was not very active in

1188
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 5: the offseason, they talked about the importance supporting one of

1189
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 5: their players. I think that's a lot You'll see a

1190
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 5: lot more teams taking that mindset because it is a

1191
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 5: year to year league, and it is important if you

1192
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 5: believe in what you got to hold on to it.

1193
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: So you got this time of year, quarterbacks are usually

1194
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: where the temperature of the league has taken, and you've

1195
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: got some guys switching teams. Kyler Murray is moving. We

1196
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: don't have yet to hear what Aaron Rodgers is going

1197
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: to do. This is always that kind of market. The

1198
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, i think, are still stinging from the fact

1199
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: that the guy they kicked to the curb won the

1200
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. What do you make of the Kyler Murray

1201
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: landing in Minnesota and what they can do with that

1202
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: and some of the other quarterbacks that have moved around.

1203
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: What's good for him?

1204
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 5: Look, you look at the track record of the guys

1205
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 5: who've gone through there lately outside of JJ McCarthy, and

1206
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 5: it's been a positive. Kevin O'Connell, their head coaches really

1207
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 5: good at working with quarterbacks and getting the most out

1208
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 5: of them. And Kyler Murray is a player who probably

1209
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 5: needed to did need a change of scenery, and so

1210
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 5: he's coming into a situation where he's been humbled. He's

1211
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 5: playing on one year deal, so he's looking to turn

1212
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 5: his career around, and he's looking around that locker room

1213
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 5: and seeing Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and t. J.

1214
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 5: Hockinson and a lot of really good weapons to work with.

1215
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 5: So I'd be surprised if it didn't work out well

1216
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 5: for him there. He should have an uptick. And I

1217
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 5: think what again, going looking at Seattle, what Sam Donald

1218
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 5: prove is that you don't have to have a Josh

1219
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 5: Allen or Patrick Mahomes, you know, someone of that caliber

1220
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 5: to win a championship. If you're able to get a

1221
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 5: good player who's driven and has learned some things about

1222
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 5: the position, you can win a championship with that as well.

1223
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 5: And I think back to years ago when I was

1224
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 5: covering Arizona Cardinals when they got Kurt Warner and talking

1225
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 5: to their old GM Rod Graves, and he said he'd

1226
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 5: spent twenty years working in personnel and he didn't know

1227
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 5: what a quarterback looked like until Kurt Warner showed up.

1228
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 5: And I've always thought about that when it comes to

1229
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 5: evaluating and developing quarterbacks, that sometimes it takes a little

1230
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 5: more time to figure out where you're at. Sometimes guys

1231
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 5: have to move to be their best version of themselves.

1232
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 3: Jeffrey, appreciate the time. As always, We'll catch up with

1233
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 3: you a little bit down the line, but thanks for

1234
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 3: joining us here in the offseason. Appreciate it all right, guys,

1235
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 3: thank you. All right. That's Jeffrey Chadilla joining us and

1236
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 3: giving us an assessment of free agency thus far. We

1237
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 3: heard Brandon Bean and Joe Brady address it at the

1238
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 3: owners meetings today. There could be some signings post draft

1239
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 3: which a lot of teams do undertake. They don't get

1240
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 3: quite what they thought they would scoop up in the

1241
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 3: draft personnel wise, and they then choose to address it

1242
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 3: in the bargain bin a free agency because prices are

1243
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 3: down by early May.

1244
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,479
Speaker 1: And think about it too, you get into the deep

1245
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: part of the draft, second day of the draft, third

1246
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: day of the draft, and you've got this guy and

1247
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: you're looking at say it's a defensive lineman or defensive

1248
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: end or pass rusher, and you're like, I don't know

1249
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay, but he's better thannybody else we

1250
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: have our eye on at that position. How about let's

1251
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: not take him, Let's take a flyer on this wide out,

1252
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,439
Speaker 1: or let's take a flyer on this corner, and let's

1253
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: just sign Joey back. You know what I mean. They

1254
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: know they've got they've had conversations with bos or some

1255
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: other player of that ilk.

1256
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks they've talked.

1257
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: To Brandon Cooks, right, So so let's let'st instead of

1258
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: taking a flyer on this mid round wide receiver, let's

1259
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: just call Brandon up. Let's get him for the price

1260
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: we've talked about. If he wants to sign with we

1261
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: can get him to sign with us, and we'll go

1262
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: from there. Let's let's pass on this draft pick at

1263
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: this spot because of that, and so some of those

1264
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: conversations have to go on as well. He's right, Joey

1265
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: Bosa played well for this club last year. He missed

1266
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: I think him as one game or didn't miss any Uh,

1267
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: played with a little bit of a hand injury. But

1268
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: the big knock on Joey Bosa coming in was he

1269
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: was never healthy for a whole season. But he disproved

1270
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: that here in Buffalo. So you know, you get some

1271
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: of that that those kind of conversations have got to

1272
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: take place. I think if you're doing your job.

1273
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 3: And he missed two games, Yeah, played in fifteen.

1274
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Right, and which is a lot of games considering where

1275
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: he has been in recent years.

1276
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 3: It's the most he has played in a season in

1277
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 3: five years.

1278
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think two. He was on a one year deal, right,

1279
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: needed to make it look good. Needed to show up,

1280
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: and not for nothing. The Bills were going to the playoffs.

1281
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: He was with saying he was with stand ago in

1282
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: LA and you know, even with Justin Herbert, they weren't

1283
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: in the hunt for the one seed or the division title.

1284
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's easier to like, you know what,

1285
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a week off when you're not

1286
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: in the playoff race.

1287
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I get it.

1288
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't.

1289
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's an out. He's not an

1290
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 3: outside linebacker in a three to four, though he's probably

1291
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 3: a defensive.

1292
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: But there'll be other guys like I use him as

1293
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: an example.

1294
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just wondering if he fits the same way

1295
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 3: that they thought he'd felt he hid last year.

1296
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: He might not. But there are other guys like him

1297
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: who you've been on the phone with as well, who say, listen,

1298
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: this guy does play in a three to four. He

1299
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: is a good defensive end in the three four, knows

1300
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: what he's doing, and we know we can get him

1301
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: for this number. Let's pass on this late round draft

1302
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 1: pick and get this guy who's got a track record

1303
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: on a one year deal, and then if we like him,

1304
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: we'll bring him back and we don't, we just get another.

1305
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 3: One, right, and they seem comfortable doing that. They've done

1306
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 3: that in the past. I mean, everybody remembers a few

1307
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 3: years ago when they signed Poona Ford and Leonard Floyd

1308
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 3: right in May and June, and Floyd had the only

1309
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 3: double digit sax season of the Bean tenure with ten

1310
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 3: and a half. So, you know, if you're mining for

1311
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 3: a free agent there, you might be able to find

1312
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 3: a gem, and hopefully the Bills do if it's deemed necessary.

1313
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 3: Even if it's coming out of the draft.

1314
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: Even if the guy's not a gem, he's a fit.

1315
01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 3: Right So, and it's hard to for us anyway to

1316
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 3: ascertain what is a fit on the defensive side of

1317
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 3: the ball, particularly on the defensive front. With everything changing,

1318
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 3: we don't really have a framework yet for what Jim

1319
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 3: Leonard prefers, what he's looking for in, you know, a

1320
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 3: defensive end. Does he need a guy that can play

1321
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 3: four I five tech and also go down to the

1322
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 3: nose all at the same time. Does he have to

1323
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 3: be that position versatile? If they're looking for a nose tackle,

1324
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 3: is it a guy that's only a nose tackle and

1325
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 3: can't do anything else, or does he want some position

1326
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 3: flex there. Does the outside linebacker have to fit a

1327
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 3: certain size and weight profile. Does he have to be

1328
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 3: at least six to three and at least two hundred

1329
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 3: and fifty pounds like These are all elements that we're

1330
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 3: gonna have to learn as we go here to figure

1331
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 3: out exactly what the kinds of preferences are for the

1332
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 3: ideal fits in Jim Leonard's system with his first year

1333
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 3: on the job, all TBD, and we're we're gonna have

1334
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 3: to gather the information as we see the roster take shape.

1335
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: Right, We're gonna, I mean, that's one of the great

1336
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: things about training camp is we get we go out

1337
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: there and stand around and look at and watch these

1338
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: guys line up when they're start, when they're going through walkthroughs,

1339
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: you get an idea of, oh, they're lining him up

1340
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 1: there kind of thing, and it's as the first chance

1341
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: we get to see it finally.

1342
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 3: So we'll have to see what that looks like and

1343
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 3: report back with our findings. And they're gonna start early

1344
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 3: because they can start as early as next week with

1345
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 3: the offseason conditioning program. Because Joe Brady is a new

1346
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 3: head coach and new head coaches can start a week

1347
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 3: earlier than the rest of the league, knowing they've got

1348
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 3: probably a little bit more on their to do list

1349
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: than the incumbent coaches. But we will step aside. Take

1350
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 3: a break here. When we get back, we're cracking open

1351
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 3: the tweet sheet to see what your comments are on

1352
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 3: which player you feel must step into a bigger role

1353
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 3: for the Bills this coming season. Your response is next

1354
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 3: on One Bill's Live. Which player must step into a

1355
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 3: bigger role for the Bills and why? That is the

1356
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 3: question posed to you today and you can submit an

1357
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,839
Speaker 3: answer or a comment add One Bills Live on Twitter.

1358
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 3: Jim leads us off on the tweet you today and

1359
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 3: says only one answer to me on this first rounder

1360
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 3: Max Harston, given his year of experience, given importance of

1361
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 3: the position, and given our investment in him with a

1362
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 3: top draft choice, Yeah, Max Harrison has to be in

1363
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 3: the starting lineup, Like, Yeah, he needs to be. He's

1364
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 3: got to earn that outside corner job obviously, Benford, there's

1365
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 3: no question about it.

1366
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he needs to be on the field and it

1367
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I have every I expect him to be. He's a

1368
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: he's a phenomenal athlete, He's a little undersized for an

1369
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: outside corner, but athletically he's elite. And he was hampered

1370
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: last year by the early knee injury in training camp

1371
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, never got back in the saddle,

1372
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: and then he lost out to the savviness of a

1373
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: veteran like Trey White. And I think there was a

1374
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: little bit we talked about it earlier in the show, Brownie,

1375
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, you may not agree with this, there

1376
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: was a little bit of trust in Trey White that

1377
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: might not have been there with Max at that point.

1378
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 3: Right, And I think it was rooted in the fact

1379
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 3: that he had missed the first half of the season

1380
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 3: due to the knee injury that he suffered one week

1381
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 3: into training camp. It was unfortunate, but I think this

1382
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 3: is a coaching staff, or the previous coaching staff was

1383
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 3: one that felt his growth was terribly stunted. You remember

1384
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 3: how they handled Cole Bishop last year when he had

1385
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 3: a long term injury. He couldn't get on the field either.

1386
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 3: He never got on the field until the last year,

1387
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 3: until there was an injury two years ago, until there

1388
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 3: was an injury, right, and then he got on the

1389
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 3: field and the first game he played in he bit

1390
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 3: on a fake and it went for a sixty yard

1391
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 3: touchdown in Houston. That only reinforced to that coaching staff, Oh,

1392
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 3: we can't play these eyes if we don't think they're

1393
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 3: ready or we can't trust them. And I wonder if

1394
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 3: that shifts ever so slightly. It certainly sounds that it's

1395
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 3: that way on the defensive side of the ball, where

1396
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Joe Brady was just talking today about, Hey, we've invested

1397
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 3: in a lot of draft picks on the defensive line,

1398
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 3: and he just rattled off the four that they've had

1399
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 3: Dwayne Carter in the three last year, and it sounds

1400
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 3: like they're gonna be given every opportunity to win prominent

1401
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 3: roles in this defense. Up front, it looks like they

1402
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 3: really want to lean into their youth, particularly on the

1403
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball, and Max Harriston would be

1404
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 3: a part of that as well in the back end.

1405
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 3: Jack on the tweets she says, one player we need

1406
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 3: a lot of them to bloom this year on offense

1407
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 3: should be Kincaid and Palmer and on defense is TJ.

1408
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 3: Sanders and Max Hairston. Well, Palmer wasn't available, so that's

1409
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 3: why it didn't blossom last year. I thought Kincaid was

1410
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 3: better last year than he was the year before. I

1411
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 3: think he led the team in receiving touchdowns and was

1412
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:09,919
Speaker 3: playing hurt, so all due respect, I think he's already bloomed.

1413
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree TJ.

1414
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 3: Sanders and Max Harriston. Though I liked those picks for

1415
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball, I think a lot

1416
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 3: of people were left wanting more from Sanders, who also

1417
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 3: missed an appreciable amount of time due to injury last season.

1418
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 3: Not as much as Harriston, but enough to be out

1419
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 3: of the lineup for a lengthy stretch. I think it

1420
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 3: was about a five week stretch he was out of

1421
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 3: the lineup. They need more from him this year. Second

1422
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 3: round pick.

1423
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm totally with you. The young guys need

1424
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: to grow, and for us out here without watching film

1425
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: and knowing the defensive calls and a lot, you want

1426
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: to see him. You want to the casual fan to

1427
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: be able to say, wow, it's a good thing. I'm

1428
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: glad he's healthy this year. He's pretty playing, you know

1429
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. He wanted to show up tackles

1430
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: for loss, maybe a sack here and there for the

1431
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: defensive tackles even but only a bunch of tackles for

1432
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 1: lost in a better run defense than they were able

1433
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: to get and help somebody get the team off the

1434
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: field on third down.

1435
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think Sanders and land and Jackson are

1436
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 3: going to play you know that that five tech defensive

1437
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 3: end or the four I position, you know where they're

1438
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 3: a little further inside and may be considered a detackle

1439
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 3: because we know Landon Jackson's bulking up. He's going to

1440
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 3: be probably playing around two eighty this year after playing

1441
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 3: a two sixty four last year, so he's certainly in

1442
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 3: line for a defensive line role inside. Yeah, not a

1443
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 3: pass rusher outside, while Rousseau looks like he's going to

1444
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 3: be outside, and so that leaves more room for people

1445
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,719
Speaker 3: like TJ. Sanders obviously at Oliver So and Dwayne Carter

1446
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 3: provided he's fully healthy and redit role from an achilles.

1447
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you saw people here in Buffalo who are

1448
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: of a certain vintage. Saw a guy like Bruce Smith

1449
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: played defensive end in a four or three and you know,

1450
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: three four, three four. I'm sorry, yes, this kind of

1451
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: defense and throw out two hundred sacks on a career.

1452
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred and seventy one of which were in

1453
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 3: a Bills uniform.

1454
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: That's it's a pretty good stretch. So I'm it can

1455
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: be done even if you're not an outside linebacker. If

1456
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: you can put your hand on the ground on a

1457
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: three to four, Bruce proved that it can be done.

1458
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Steven on the tweets sheet says, the only person

1459
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 3: that can get a bigger role is Jackson Hawes. With

1460
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 3: no fullback on the roster right now, who's going to

1461
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 3: fill that role? Because Gilliam played a big part the

1462
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 3: last couple of years, I can't see us going away

1463
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 3: from that part of the offense. That is another TBD.

1464
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 3: They have not replaced the fullback on this roster. Maybe

1465
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 3: they do think Jackson Hawes can fill the role for them,

1466
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 3: whether it's blocking prowess or maybe their approach is going

1467
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 3: to change going forward here. Maybe they don't run the

1468
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 3: ball as much as they have the last couple of years.

1469
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 3: Maybe they're throwing to James Cook more than their hand

1470
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 3: to him.

1471
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 1: For a lot of people, full back, slash, wing back,

1472
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: tight end h back, going back and then going back

1473
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: in decades talking about the h back or the why

1474
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: it's a tight end slash full back. It's a pass

1475
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: receiver slash running back, but you never hand him the ball, right.

1476
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: They do everything except line up and get the ball

1477
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 1: handed to them. That's the only difference. There is a

1478
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: guy like Jackson Haws. We heard day one of training

1479
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: camp last year, people were going, Wow, this guy he could.

1480
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: He is an in line tight end, blocking tight end

1481
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: that knows the nuances of line play. The offensive line

1482
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: were gushing about Jackson Halls last year and his ability

1483
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: to block like an offensive lineman, an experienced offensive lineman.

1484
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: That's what he does and had did really well. Now

1485
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: last year, you forget Week one one. He ends up

1486
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: catching the first catch of his career as a seam

1487
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 1: route down the twenty five yard seam route after the

1488
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: fumble that Derrick Henry coughed up. He catches it on

1489
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: the one yard line. He catches it three times before

1490
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: he goes down, but he catches it. That's his first catch.

1491
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: The guy makes this play and all of a sudden, okay,

1492
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball, gets open and does it

1493
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: in tight does it in the big moments. Right. So,

1494
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: what's the difference between Jackson Hawes and Reggie Gilliam. What

1495
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: would be the difference that you would think could be there.

1496
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: What's the different skill set? Neither one of them is

1497
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: going to get handed the football. Both of them catch

1498
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 1: the football.

1499
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 3: Reggie was almost never targeted two years ago.

1500
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: He had two this year. One of them was big

1501
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: one though it was a flag route down the corner

1502
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: and a home game. But they show up when they

1503
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: need it, so.

1504
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 3: I always had like three touchdowns.

1505
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that. Reggie Gilliam and

1506
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: Jackson Hawes are to each of their positions tight end

1507
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 1: and running back the same. They do the other stuff,

1508
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: they do the hybrid stuff. I don't have a problem.

1509
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: I liked Reggie, but expand Jackson Hawes's role. He can

1510
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:24,799
Speaker 1: be the guy that pushes Josh on the push push yeah,

1511
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: or comes through. And Hawes is really good. You talk.

1512
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: You look at how he sifts through the garbage into

1513
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: the second level to get his block, how he works

1514
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: with a double team and then slides off to the

1515
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: second guy. Just really smooth in that. He might be

1516
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: better in some respects possible. So no, he probably blocks

1517
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: better because that's really what he does well.

1518
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 3: And he's more of a receiving threat, I think than Gilliam.

1519
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 3: I think he can stretch the field a little bit

1520
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 3: better than Reggie. But we'll see Christopher on the tweets sheet,

1521
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 3: says Keon Coleman. I believe the Keon can be a

1522
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 3: top tier wide receiver in the NFL if he can

1523
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 3: stay focused. Clearly, what we've heard the last two days

1524
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 3: from the owner's meetings serves as indication that they are

1525
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 3: committed to making it work with Keon Coleman. They want

1526
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 3: to they want to prove themselves right that they made

1527
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 3: the right decision in selecting him when they did with

1528
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 3: the first pick in round two two years ago. And

1529
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 3: you know, he's been a factor at times, but I

1530
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 3: think his lack of responsibility contributed to him sitting on

1531
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 3: the sideline some weeks when he was fit to play.

1532
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 3: It's a shame.

1533
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they are committed to giving him this opportunity,

1534
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: that's for sure. They've made that clear. He's gonna he's

1535
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: going to be in the rotation and asked to compete.

1536
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: Uh and we've seen it as well. You know this.

1537
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: You know, as you get deeper into your career, guys develop,

1538
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: guys developed this. This has been a place over the

1539
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: the you know, the last six or seven years, guys

1540
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: have come in and played much better and much better

1541
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 1: and much better. Keon Coleman has to be one of

1542
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: those guys. He's got to be a guy who you

1543
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 1: see a market improvement in his production. There. It's obvious.

1544
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we they are gonna give him the opportunity

1545
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: to grow.

1546
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 3: The crazy thing is, you know, we're all aware of

1547
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 3: the time he missed, the suspensions he served. This will

1548
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 3: be his third year, you know, healthy and active if

1549
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 3: you will. But if you go back and you look at,

1550
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 3: you know, the season stats for the Bills and I'm

1551
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 3: just gonna pull him up real quick here, Yeah, I

1552
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 3: got them. This is a guy that was a healthy

1553
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 3: and active, sat out games, and at the end of

1554
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 3: the season he's the third leading receiver on the team

1555
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 3: with thirty eight receptions, one less than Dalton kin Cave

1556
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 3: four touchdowns, and he's got four touchdowns, which was tied

1557
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 3: for second most receiving touchdowns on the team.

1558
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: He gott's that's.

1559
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,839
Speaker 3: With limited time on the field, missing games.

1560
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: You know, let's let's just call it what it is.

1561
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 1: He got benched for not being able to show up

1562
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: on time because he's a kid he's acting like a kid.

1563
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: This is his third year. We've seen other players spread

1564
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: their wings in their third year because now they finally

1565
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 1: got everything, you know, ironed out in the offseason, where

1566
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna train, how they're going to live, where they're

1567
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, how they're gonna hang out, where, how they're

1568
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna spend their time. They got their in season protocols

1569
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: and there, you know, all that ironed out and the

1570
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: problems that any problems that any player has had kind

1571
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: of get ironed out in the third year where you

1572
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: can say, right, I'm not gonna do that this year,

1573
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna do this this year. I'm gonna

1574
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: try and do this more and this. So by the

1575
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: third year, we saw it with Kinkaid, we saw it

1576
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: with Knox, we saw it with all these other guys

1577
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 1: in the Bill's uniform. When they get to that third year,

1578
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: it's like, ah, there he is, you know. And it

1579
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: was different when because some of these guys that went

1580
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: through the COVID year, he kind of it took them

1581
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:26,799
Speaker 1: a little extra time. But I think the expectations should

1582
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: be through the roof for Keon.

1583
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hopefully he lives up to it. Jack says

1584
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 3: if they don't add any wide receivers of note parentheses,

1585
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 3: they'll take one. But a seventh round pick doesn't move

1586
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 3: the needle, then both Palmer and Coleman need to step

1587
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 3: up and help this team's passing attack rather than being

1588
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 3: largely invisible on defense. TJ.

1589
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: Sanders.

1590
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 3: Sanders has been a popular pick on the defensive side

1591
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 3: of the ball, and I think it's largely because of

1592
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 3: where he was drafted and how little he was seen

1593
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 3: last year due to injury and what have you. So, yeah,

1594
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean, if Sanders can have a big year two

1595
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 3: on the on that defensive front, now you're talking Sanders

1596
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:14,560
Speaker 3: and Walker along with Oliver on the inside, it's a

1597
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 3: pretty good front three, you know, and then your other

1598
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 3: guys rotate in behind. Palmer was an injury mess last year.

1599
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 3: Got injured in that Week five game at Atlanta and

1600
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 3: was never right after that the rest of the season. Unfortunately,

1601
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 3: came back briefly and then was out again, missed the playoffs.

1602
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 3: It was it was a rough go. Yeah, So I

1603
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 3: think if he stays healthy, he'll be able to contribute

1604
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 3: more because every time he got back in the lineup

1605
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 3: and was just getting his groove back bang, but something

1606
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,600
Speaker 3: else would come up, maybe out of the lineup again.

1607
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 1: Right right, you need you'd like Cole Cole, Coleman and

1608
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: Palmer to step up, no question. I think DJ is

1609
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna be what we've seen him be. If you compare

1610
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: DJ moore his production the last two years with the

1611
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: production of Jalen Wattle, the guy from Miami who just

1612
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: got traded to who was it he got traded to Denver,

1613
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: their production over the last two years is almost identical,

1614
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 1: almost identical Jalen Waddle and DJ Moore. And d Moore

1615
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: had the down year last year when Chicago started to

1616
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: lean into the young guys, but his production over the

1617
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: last two years is exactly what Jaylen Waddle's production has been.

1618
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: If he gets that, If you get that the average

1619
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: of his last two years, nobody's going to bat an

1620
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: eye over the second round draft pick the Bills gave

1621
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: up for him. That's who he has been his entire career.

1622
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,680
Speaker 1: He's averaged just at or a little more than one

1623
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: thousand yards and seventy six receptions over eight years. That's

1624
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 1: who he is. He give him those opportunities. Palmer and

1625
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 1: Coleman can be add ons because Khalil Shakir and Dj

1626
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Moore will be more than enough at the wide receiver spot,

1627
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: along with Kincaid and Knox and James Cook. I mean,

1628
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: that's your offense is going to be fine, more than fine.

1629
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: Your offense is going to be top two or three

1630
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: in the league in scoring, top two or three, particularly

1631
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: when you got a head coach who's calling the plays

1632
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be under any instructions from anybody

1633
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:26,680
Speaker 1: above him. He'll you may. I think this offense is

1634
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: going to take a big step because of that and

1635
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: with those and if mored is who he is and

1636
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: stays healthy, and Cook comes back and gives you what

1637
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: he can give you, and you got Khalil Shakir, you

1638
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: got Kincaid knocks, I mean, yes, this all that side

1639
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: of the football. I mean they should be awesome again awesome.

1640
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: So it's the rest of the equation that we've been

1641
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: talking about for a couple of weeks, and I think

1642
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: it's going to continue to be And I get you

1643
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,839
Speaker 1: want those guys to step up in the In regards

1644
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 1: to our Twitter question today when Coleman and Palmer Sanders,

1645
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: if you're not I think with this group, unless all

1646
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: of them get hurt like they did last year. If

1647
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: all of them get hurt, you're back in the same boat.

1648
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: But if they don't, those guys aren't gonna even see

1649
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: the field. They'll be they'll be rotational players because DJ

1650
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: Moore doesn't miss games, Khalil Shakir doesn't miss games.

1651
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 3: For the most part.

1652
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you're you either stay healthy and can contribute,

1653
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: or you're not gonna You're gonna be, you know, doing

1654
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 1: what You're gonna be coming kicks like I did. Kem

1655
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: Colem would be a punk returner.

1656
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 3: Break time for us here. We'll get to some more

1657
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 3: of your tweets when we come back. As we are

1658
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 3: asking you which Bill's player must step into a bigger

1659
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 3: role this fall for the team's improved fortunes in twenty

1660
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 3: twenty six. You let us know next here on one

1661
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 3: Bill's Live. All right back here on Want of Bill's Live.

1662
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 3: Some thoughts on the Tweetchee, where we've been asking you

1663
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 3: today which player needs to fill a bigger role for

1664
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 3: the Bills in twenty twenty six. Andrew on the tweet,

1665
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 3: she says, this may sound weird, but my answer would

1666
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 3: be Josh Allen. They've given this man almost everything he's

1667
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 3: asked for. Now it's time for him to show it

1668
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 3: on the field and get us to the finish line.

1669
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 3: He's a good quarterback, no question, but he's been put

1670
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 3: in the driver's seat time to prove himself.

1671
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 5: Well.

1672
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 3: I think I think he proved himself and he didn't

1673
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 3: have a number one wide receiver and won the MVP

1674
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 3: two years ago, or maybe it was last year when

1675
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 3: he had the highest completion percentage of his career with

1676
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:42,879
Speaker 3: an injury riddled offense.

1677
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1678
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 3: Am I crazy?

1679
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1680
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 3: This may sound weird.

1681
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: It does sound. It is weird, thank you, it is

1682
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: something by it, But I get it. I mean I

1683
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: get it. So everybody's got their own view of things.

1684
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 3: I guess he's thinking, because DJ Moore is here and now.

1685
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: He's superman, he should be able to do it. I

1686
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: get it.

1687
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 3: So there you go. Walter says, DJ Moore cannot just

1688
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 3: be good. He has to be the pure number one

1689
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 3: wide receiver. We keep saying Josh needs. Well, he's gonna

1690
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 3: fill that role. But I don't know if his numbers

1691
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 3: are necessarily gonna reflect that. If they do, great, But

1692
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,639
Speaker 3: I think if he's and I'm just gonna throw out

1693
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 3: some numbers here. If he is seventy catches for one

1694
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 3: thousand and seventy five yards and nine touchdowns, that's gonna

1695
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 3: be pretty damn good his average.

1696
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 1: His career averages seventy six catches a year one thousand,

1697
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 1: seventy six or one twenty six yards and five touchdowns.

1698
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 3: So if he does that and ups his touchdown tally.

1699
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 1: You're in pretty good sche career average over eight years.

1700
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 3: And let's not and let's not forget even absent a

1701
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 3: number one wide receiver. I mean, outside of Shakir being

1702
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 3: far and away the number one target, the other guys

1703
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:03,879
Speaker 3: were pretty closely bunched together, you know, Kincaid, Coleman, Knox,

1704
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 3: and then Cook I think was fifth. So those guys

1705
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 3: were all in the thirties with receptions. Shakira was in

1706
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 3: the seventies. I think more comes up to the top.

1707
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 3: Maybe Shakira is closer to fifty and everybody else is

1708
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 3: probably still in that thirties range.

1709
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: If they're spreading the ball, it really doesn't matter what

1710
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 1: it looks like and how the numbers are distributed, but

1711
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: you've got to add it up. It's got to add

1712
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,799
Speaker 1: up to a top one or two offense in the league,

1713
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 1: and you've got to hope that your defense doesn't finish

1714
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: twenty second in the league against third down or against

1715
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 1: the rush or something like that. You got to have

1716
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 1: statistics defensively. They're all in the top ten.

1717
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,519
Speaker 3: Last ones from Jacob, who says Terrell Bernard, given the

1718
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 3: contract in his role as captain, he needs to prove

1719
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 3: his extension wasn't a bad investment.

1720
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 1: Now.

1721
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 3: Bernard also a victim of the injury bug and has

1722
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:55,720
Speaker 3: missed some games here and there each of the last

1723
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 3: couple of seasons. But he's a guy that's working hard

1724
01:28:58,240 --> 01:28:59,680
Speaker 3: to stay healthy all year long too.

1725
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: He's also only twenty six, right, And I think it'll

1726
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: be this defensive philosophical philosophical change may help him.

1727
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,600
Speaker 3: I think it will, Yeah, because he's got more help inside.

1728
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 3: You can put a girthy your guy next to him

1729
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,720
Speaker 3: so he doesn't take on all those linemen at the

1730
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:17,639
Speaker 3: second level. Might make more plays as a result. That's

1731
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 3: it for us today, Steve and I back tomorrow. Stay

1732
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 3: try out there. People will see on Wednesday
