1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: player for Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: stratedere of normalcy. Well, it's a Thursday, Steve, and something

5
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: happened after we arrived at work. It was put out

6
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: on the one Bill's live Twitter account and for our

7
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: MSG viewers they can see it immediately. For those of

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: you listening on the radio airwaves, Steve and I are

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: not only dressed in the same exact shirt today and

10
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: this was not planned, but we also both have gray

11
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: golf pants on. The only slight difference is Steve is

12
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: wearing gray shoes and I am wearing black shoes. But

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: that is where it begins and ends. We're both wearing

14
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: cole Hans. But yes, that is true courtesy of won

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. But I will say this, Steve and I

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: essentially have the same bills swag wardrobe in many respects.

17
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: So right this this was only a matter of when,

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: not if it was going to happen. I counted I

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: have sixty sixty there's five dozen, right, that's five dozen

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: different Bill's polos, polos and quarter zips. Yeah, I'm probably

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: half of that. Yeah, so what kind of you know,

22
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: multiply the combinations that we can do, and now some

23
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: of them are like do overlap. I mean, but man,

24
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: oh man, that's hard to do. But we've done it.

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: We did it. We did It's happened. They took the

26
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: picture and I put I tweeted out somebody said, wow,

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: Tasker looks huge standing next to you, because you're I'm

28
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: a short man, you're shorter than me. And I tweeted

29
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: that I was six feet five inches tall, which is

30
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: which if that was the case, it's the Internet, right,

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: it's the Internet. You're expected not to tell the truth.

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: So I put out was six to five. That's why.

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: So I bump pumped us both up. That'll work. Uh yeah,

34
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: I am not a tall human by any stretch, even

35
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: if you stretched me out. But it's oh great, guys. Yeah,

36
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: let's just do the immediate split screen. Let's make it

37
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: look even better. My god, we look like a bunch

38
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: of candy stripers here. Yeah, we do a beautiform of

39
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: the day, kind of the officer of the day. R

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: oh man. Yeah, they're um, they're enjoying it in the

41
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: control room far more than we are, but we'll leave

42
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: that there and get to more, get to more of

43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the business. At a horizontal striped shirt too. We both

44
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: look a little bit. Yeah, that's that's just not not

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: good for us. But I guess it could be worse.

46
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: We could be both wearing green in which we looked

47
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: like a bunch of floating heads. I'd say this though,

48
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I would wear the same shirt as you every day.

49
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: If we get weather like this. It is spectacular outside him.

50
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: You know it's all gonna come crashing down tomorrow. Did

51
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: you see the fomorrow? Do not care if you put

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: any lawn furniture out. Steve's your patio, I get you

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: tie it down totally here. Oh, is it gonna blow?

54
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: They are saying we might reach seventy miles per hour

55
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: really tomorrow? How's that look? Because I don't know. Believe me,

56
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm the last person to ask about ISO bars and stuff.

57
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Sixty sixty miles prior usually is the limit for for

58
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: around here. They said seventy seventies a big number. I

59
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: might lose some shingles. I don't want to lose shingles.

60
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: My roof is only three years old, so I prefer

61
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: not to lose shingles right, totally with you. But man,

62
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. But when the wind

63
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: kicks up here, it's no joke. It is no joke.

64
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: So that is apparently coming tomorrow in the late afternoon.

65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: So it was like, how long has that gon a?

66
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Is that? Like? Through the weekend. I didn't look. I

67
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: didn't read far enough to see how long it's gonna last.

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Thirty miles prior. I can't stick around that long. But

69
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: my wife last week she saw this nice weather coming.

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: She's like, come on, we gotta take some of these

71
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: some of the patio furniture out. Just give me a

72
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: She's like, just give me the love seat, hair early,

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: give me a love give me the love seat. And

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't want anything. I said, okay, we can do that.

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: So we pulled that out five days later, right right

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: here it comes out. We did. We did do the

77
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: first step. You know, everybody's the same way. You got

78
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: your You got all that in your house or stored

79
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: somewhere in the ship. I would have wrapped up in

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: a giant canvas, like right on the patio, right, So

81
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: can we take something? I'm like, okay, we can take something, right,

82
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: So you take there, but you know you don't trust

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: it though it's stages, right, say, I'll do this much briant,

84
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: do it anymore because I know I'll be out here

85
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: heaving this stuff under something to keep it from getting wet. Right,

86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: So once it gets summertime, I don't care because every

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: when the days are warm, you know it's gonna dry

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: out fairly quickly. But like now, we've just been burned

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: too many times, right, You put that stuff out there

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: and you end up for me, it's like in my

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: pond or floating around, or it's off in the woods somewhere.

92
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: I gotta, you know, schlep over there and drag that out. Right.

93
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I've been burned too many times. And

94
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: it's March. Let's remember that. I told you Steve it's

95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: fake spring. Yeah, but it's a pretty good fake spring. Man.

96
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Well that's great, but it's longer than usual. And I'm

97
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: telling you what this. We're gonna have a couple of

98
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: days here, no question. But I think after that a

99
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of days, we're even gonna it's gonna be nice again.

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: I mean, this may be this may be an dare

101
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: I say it an early turned to the weather. It's

102
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: already early. The pins are in at my course. Yeah,

103
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: I've been playing all week after after the show. I'm

104
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: playing like a pig, no mind you. But still I'm

105
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: out there out walking the court and it's dry. Every

106
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: It's been great, it's been great. It's gotta come back.

107
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: It's got a bad us back after these next couple

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: of days. Right, I see what the forecast says. What

109
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: was it say? Well, I was saying what you're saying

110
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: next week after this nice Well, there's a chance of

111
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: snow Sunday night, just so, just so you know, I

112
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna accumulate, because the ground's gonna

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: probably be too warm from what we've had the last

114
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: few days. There's a chance of snow Sunday that Yet,

115
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't think why I call it fake spring. Let

116
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: me think it might be we might have I might

117
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: might have got past me. I was looking forward to it.

118
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: The plow pile might be gone at my house. One

119
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: of them is I think maybe the plow piles are

120
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: gone at my pile. You know what I'm talking about. Right,

121
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: that's a two word phrase that doesn't exist in many

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: other parts of the country. Right. The plow pile is gone.

123
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: That that's a huge signal that spring is around the corner.

124
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: I think they are. I think they are. I was

125
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna check it and I forgot. I think they're gone.

126
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: The big one's gone. Yeah, because we had the I mean,

127
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: you get up to sixty five seventy degrees. I mean

128
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: I would hope it is. I was a total grandpa

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: the other day. I had my like four year old

130
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: granddaughter and my two year old grandson out there playing around.

131
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,240

132
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: shovel that snow and spread that out so I haven't

Speaker 1: sitting there, you know, disperse that. You guys got a

134
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: lot of energy sitting on the on the lawn, you know,

138
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: picture when you said I'm in the lawn chair on

Speaker 1: That is all in Grandpa material right now there out there.

141

143
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: lawn chair on the porch and I'm waving my hand.

144

153
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: We saw that the Jets signed Eagles veteran defensive end

154
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Vinnie Curry, who's a pass rusher, so they'll presumably have

155
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: him on one edge and Carl Lawson on the other.

156
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: They also signed free agent running back Tevin Coleman, who

157
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: is obviously familiar with the Jets offensive system, having played

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: in the same one in San Francisco. So the Jets

159
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: finalized that deal yesterday. As he'll jump right into Michael

160
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Lafleur's offense and off he goes with zero learning curve.

161
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: And then you had the Patriots trying to resign their

162
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: defensive end, Lawrence guy. He visited the Dolphins and then

163
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: left without a deal and is now talking to the Patriots,

164
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: and it seems like it's trending towards assigning. So it

165
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: looks like the Patriots will probably get Lawrence guy back

166
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: into the fold. You know, one of their five technique

167
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: defensive end guys does a lot of the dirty work,

168
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: and it does a pretty good job of it. Here

169
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: was an interesting one, Steve. This caught my eye. Browns

170
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: had a free agent visit from Jadeveon Clowney. Now he

171
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: left the facility, no deal was completed. This is a

172
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: guy who I think is tough for people to figure out. Wow,

173
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: mercurial player. Don't know what you're gonna get every week.

174
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that the guy is deeply passionate

175
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: about football, Like football doesn't strike me as something that

176
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: burns in his soul, you know what I mean, fire

177
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: in the belly. He's running around with engine problems. Yeah,

178
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: and the guy's supremely gifted, no question about it. And

179
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: there's nothing that says he's a bad dude or anything.

180
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: You like. He hasn't you know, he has never had

181
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: any offseason issue off the field issues and all of that.

182
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: So it's not like, you know, the guys are criminal.

183
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: It's just no, no, it's all no. I don't want

184
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: to go there. I'm just saying his problems are more

185
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: football type. You just don't see like you get. You

186
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: don't get a full effort. You don't get a guy

187
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: who like wears it on his sleeve, a guy who

188
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: is like going one hundred miles an hour. You know,

189
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: if you could put, for instance, Justin Zimmer in that body,

190
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: oh you got a Hall of Famer. Jadavian Clowney has

191
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: always been a gifted guy, and even when he was

192
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: with J. J. Watt, guys that are that physically gifted

193
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: always are saddled with finger quotes underachieving status because you

194
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: see guys with lesser physical abilities do more. Yeah and that,

195
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: And I think it says a lot that a guy

196
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: that is that physically talented and that physically gifted, even

197
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: in a restricted market with restrictive cap is still out there.

198
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot. There's a ton of

199
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: tape on him. That's why. Yeah, and the last two

200
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: teams that took a chance on him didn't get overwhelming returns.

201
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Seattle signed him had a couple of nice games for them,

202
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: but didn't dominate. And with his physical ability, that guy

203
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: should dominate. And then he went after that to Tennessee

204
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: last season and did nothing for them, like literally nothing zero. Yeah,

205
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: he and speak putting in in a context of what

206
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: they're doing at One Bill's Drive with Sean McDermott. He

207
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: just doesn't hasn't displayed the hunger to get better, right,

208
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, you look at him and

209
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: you say, this guy doesn't have the DNA that the

210
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: Bills look for in their place, you know what I mean? Like, right,

211
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: they want guys that football is viewed by the player

212
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: coming in here as a daily process where you're looking

213
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: to get one percent better every single day, doesn't matter

214
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: what day it is, doesn't matter what the score on

215
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: the board is during game. You know what you're going

216
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: to get out of that player every single Sunday, every

217
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: single day in practice, and there are no questions. And

218
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: as you said with Jadaemian Clowney, the check engine line

219
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: comes on an awful lot, right, And that's the problem,

220
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: and that's that's why the guy still doesn't have a job,

221
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: and it's also why he's gotten a lot of chances

222
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: and keeps getting another chance because the team that he

223
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: took that chance, that took a chance on him, is

224
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: done with him. That's telling his value monetarily is dropping,

225
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: and in my dropping like a stone. There's just no

226
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: A lot of teams just don't want to make room

227
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: for a guy like that. Now, Cleveland isn't a little

228
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: bit different if you've got a guy like a Miles Garrett,

229
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: who is who does have all of those things. He's

230
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: got the physical abilities and he seems like he's got

231
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: a motor and he's a guy that some other guys

232
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: rally around, and he's starting to put it together as

233
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: a pro. Perfect spot for Jadeveon Clowney to come in

234
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: and be a complimentary piece. But what are you gonna

235
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: pay him? The price is dropping? Why why hurry? You

236
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: know why hurry? Cleveland was pretty good without him last year.

237
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: If he wants to come in and jump on board, okay, fine,

238
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna be paid like a marquee piece,

239
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: No way. Yeah. I mean they had Olivier Vernon there

240
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of years opposite Garrett, and I know

241
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: he had a bad injury last year and his season

242
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: gotta cut short. But I would take Olivier Vernon over

243
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney eight hundred times out of eight hundred. So yeah,

244
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see if someone takes his

245
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: swing and is you know, yeah, desperate enough to to

246
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: try to give that thing a third try. Yeah, because

247
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: the last two teams have been sorely disappointed him. M Yeah.

248
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: And so while we're talking Jadeveon Clowney and stuff, the

249
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: Penn State had their pro dated and so we're talking

250
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: about guys with fast motors and guys with physical abilities,

251
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: guys who looked like who looked like it. So this

252
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: guy want this guy, Jason Oway, who has been mocked

253
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: to the Bills as an edge rusher kind of guy anythinking, okay, who?

254
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: So he goes out today. He weighs two hundred and

255
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: fifty seven pounds. He ran a four three six forty

256
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: four three six forty. The watches ranged from four to

257
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: three six to four four in terms of the Scouts

258
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: watches a pro. The guy weighed two hundred and close

259
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: to two hundred and sixty pounds. Yeah. That's that's moving, dude,

260
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's moving. Now, the concerns with him are

261
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: as follows. Number one, he's a redshirt sophomore. Number two,

262
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: he's a one year starter. And when there isn't that

263
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: body of work, it gives scouts pause. They want to

264
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: have something to go on. You can see the athletic ability,

265
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: you know it's elite, and you say to yourself, Okay,

266
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: there's a lead athletic ability here that should translate at

267
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: the highest level of football. He's still going to be

268
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: faster than most at his position, bending the edge, all

269
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: of that stuff. I'll say this, but the body of

270
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: work is so minimal it's going to give scouts pause. Yes,

271
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: and it should. But by the same token, that's exactly

272
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that would fit in a Buffalo system,

273
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: where they're going to slowly, methodically get him to a

274
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: point where where he gets all the things he needs

275
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: before he gets thrown in. You get you if somebody

276
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: drafts that kid of say a team like Jacksonville or

277
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: whoever drafts him, and they expect him to be plugged

278
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: in and play, I don't think that's as beneficial to

279
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: him as it would be getting drafted by a team

280
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: like Buffalo, who at the very least will rotate him

281
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: in even on day one. That's the best case scenario

282
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: for a guy like that. They did it with Ed Oliver,

283
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: they did that with a Japanezza, and they would give

284
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: him a chance to get his feet under him and

285
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: give him a chance to earn what he gets on

286
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: the field so he's ready for it when it happens,

287
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: rather than getting thrown in and whether he sinks or swims.

288
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,479
Speaker 1: Particularly a guy who doesn't have the depth of production

289
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: and the amount of snaps at a higher level that

290
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: this guy does, this guy is probably not going to

291
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: help you this year. He had a basketball first background,

292
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: he's young in football. The knock on him as he

293
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have the on field instincts. He's tremendously gifted physically,

294
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: but in terms of the instincts and you know, reading

295
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: plays and setting up an offensive tackle, those are elements

296
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: of his game that are just flat out not there yet.

297
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: So the question becomes, if you're a team like the

298
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: Bills looking to get to the top of the mountain

299
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: after getting pretty darn close last year, do you want

300
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: to use a first round draft choice on a guy

301
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: that's probably not going to help you until twenty twenty three,

302
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two at the earliest. I wonder if you

303
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: make that investment in round one on a player like that.

304
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: Maybe you do, but you can do better and find

305
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: a better a player who's comparable and grade and you know,

306
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: has a better chance of helping you now right. I

307
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: don't know how you still go with this guy, but

308
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: that maybe that kind of guy maybe the only kind

309
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: of guy that falls to number thirty in this That's

310
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: that's true. That could be the case. Also, um, that

311
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: may be a guy like that never falls to you

312
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: another another years. You have to you have to stink

313
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: more than the Bills did this year to get up

314
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: high enough to draft a guy with that physical ability.

315
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: And then if you've got and let's face it, who's he,

316
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: who's he? Who's he coming in and replacing on your

317
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: last year's roster would probably be what Vernon Butler or

318
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy. Well, you're gonna if you draft this guy,

319
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: he's making your roster just by virtue of the fact

320
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: that he's your first round draft choice, right, and that

321
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: leaves someone else as the odd man out? Is it

322
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: the newly signed fa Obada? Is it Darryl Johnson? Is it?

323
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: You know? Right? Could be anybody. It's probably not a

324
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: j epenesa um if I mean, if he shows out

325
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: in camp and looks like he's ready, Now, hell could

326
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: be Mario addis I mean, who knows? Yes, that's right,

327
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: it could be. It could be. But based on what

328
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: we've seen from oh Way, which is limited tape, one

329
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: year starter, m young in football doesn't have the instincts yet,

330
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: may not have them. We don't know, right, I don't

331
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: know about him. I don't know how even if he

332
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: is Buffalo's draft choice, that he comes in and flips

333
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: the depth chart on its head. I just I don't

334
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: know if I can see that happening. He'd have to

335
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: be pretty damn special, certainly training camp, well, he'd have.

336
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, He's got to be special between

337
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: his ears because physically he's there. Yeah, And that's that's

338
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: hard to quantify. That's hard to that's hard to get

339
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: a handle on. If he is he going to be

340
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: a guy who comes in and turns into a guy

341
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: like Gabe Davis? You know, is he gonna come in

342
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: and turn into a guy that's wise beyond his ears,

343
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: like a drude Avious White? You know, I don't have

344
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: any idea to know that, so they'll and find out.

345
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: And the more more like that he is, the higher

346
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: he will be taken. But you're right, he's high risk,

347
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: high reward. I mean that's what he is because the

348
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: body of work isn't there, but the physical attributes are elite.

349
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: And so you say, Okay, well, if we're right about

350
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: this guy, I mean, this is going to be your

351
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: number one pass rusher on your team. And three, are

352
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: we good enough to win games with him on our

353
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: team not contributing at a high level? Yea? Are we

354
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: good enough to win games this year and wait on

355
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: him to develop? And when we look at him, how

356
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: long will it take Eric Washington, Leslie Frazier, you know,

357
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: Starlow to Lelay, Jerry Hughes at Oliver aj Epeneza, all

358
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: those guys, Tremaine Edmonds, how long will it take them

359
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: to help him be good enough? The whole organization's in

360
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: it together, and I mean, you're going for it now.

361
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: I just don't know how. Yeah, I get that, and

362
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: you're right we were. The team was very close last year.

363
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: But I think this is a team that's gonna structure

364
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: itself on going forward every year. They they're not going

365
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: to get this cap. They'd be sitting gold. If the

366
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: cap had not getting chopped, they'd be fine. They'd be

367
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: way fine. So this year is a little bit of

368
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: an aberration. I think this is a club and an

369
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: organization that wants to be in it long term. Every

370
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: year beat have a shot be competitive, and you gotta

371
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: either in their worst years, they got to win an

372
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: in on Game seventeen. I just wonder if the thinking

373
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: goes along these lines, do you go so far as

374
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: to say, you know, whether you think oh Way is

375
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: the best player on the board at the time you're

376
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: picking or not, is the conversation. Does it get to

377
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: this place where you say, are we doing this year's

378
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: team a disservice by choosing a player with our first

379
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: round draft choice that probably won't help us until twenty

380
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty two at the earliest. Are we doing the twenty

381
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: twenty one roster a disservice by drafting a player of

382
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: that caliber knowing he's probably not going to help us

383
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: this year, at least not trying to get to the

384
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl unless unless the kid can work his way

385
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: in the second second half of the year get on

386
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: the field. A couple of times, plus do some special

387
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: team stuff contributed that way? Maybe be Is that enough

388
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: for your first round draft choice? Depends, is it? Yeah?

389
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, what Jpenesa dot All. That was a

390
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: second round pick. But I understand what you're saying. What

391
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: at Oliver do you know? Ed got in and he

392
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: was rotated in that way, right, But by the second

393
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: half of the year he was playing I mean, he

394
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: was playing the equivalent of what would be starter snaps

395
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: in a rotational system. There's his rookie years. There's three

396
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: first round guys who are really contributing, Josh Allen, Tremaine

397
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Tradavious White. The other guys are It took

398
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: him longer than those guys, right, and it should and

399
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: actually should have taken Josh longer, But because of you know,

400
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: eighteen and Nate Peterman, he got pushed in and and

401
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: AJ McCarron and all that. So right, but yeah, there

402
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: you go. So this may be and let's face it too,

403
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: this team, I don't care who you take first pick

404
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: your guy. It's harder to be good enough to contribute

405
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: on this team than it was two years ago. When

406
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: for a second, I don't deny that for a second,

407
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: So what do you expect from this guy? Yah, on

408
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: this roster the way it is right now, I think

409
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: if you're drafting a first rounder, though, that's a guy

410
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: who should be competing for a starting job right out

411
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: of the gate, even at thirty. Okay, so so I'm

412
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: not saying he's definitively the starter, but he's competing for

413
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: a role because he's one of the best thirty players

414
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. Like, I get it. Well, here's the thing. Well,

415
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: here's the thought then, and he got everything else gets

416
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: thrown in there. So if you're in that mindset where

417
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: this guy's got to help us and got to help

418
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: us and compete right away, you're looking you're not looking

419
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: at that spot, at that position in this draft. You're

420
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: in the corner corner. Yeah, that's well, that is where

421
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: I'm looking, right, I mean that's where you're thinking, right,

422
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: and that is where I'm looking. There's some and this

423
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: is a deep corner draft. Well, it means there should

424
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: best players in the Bill's range. There you can get

425
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: a best the best of a bunch that are going

426
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: to be on the board. So yeah, and that that

427
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: means this, if you take a corner in this draft,

428
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna click off a lot of boxes that are

429
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: very favorable for your system, and you're you're a little

430
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, checklist for corners. I realize that Brandon being

431
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: and his scouting department probably do not think that way.

432
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, they don't say, well, we need a corner

433
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,239
Speaker 1: in round one. They don't think that way. We know that,

434
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: we know that the way they draft proves they don't

435
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: think that way. Um, But I'm just going from the

436
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: perspective of this is your first round draft choice. You're

437
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: near the top of the mountain in the NFL. You

438
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: want somebody with your first round pick that's going to

439
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: be able to get on the field and help you,

440
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: help make you better. Yeah, and that's the thing too. Yes,

441
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: it may be twenty twenty two before Jason Oway helps

442
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: you as a in a significant way, but you want

443
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: somebody now that can do that. There's not gonna be

444
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: much difference from a guy who helps you now at

445
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: a different position right away than Oway next year. So

446
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: you're not losing anything by getting a guy a year earlier,

447
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: Like if Oa was a red shirt junior instead of

448
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: a red shirt sophomore and he had another year and

449
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: he had more tape, and he's like, Okay, now he's

450
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: a little further down the line. He'll contribute earlier. The

451
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: guy that you get at thirty, if that's your philosophy,

452
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: is gonna do that? Yeah, is gonna do that. Let

453
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: me ask you this. So he has been I watched

454
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: some Penn State games this year. He is unquestionably a

455
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: disruptive player, Like he disrupts stuff in the backfield pretty consistent.

456
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: He's fast. Zero sacks. Does that bother you at all?

457
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: A little bit? Zero sacks a little bit? Certainly, he's

458
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: got physical abilities. But he's young. He's a young player

459
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna throw in and the NFL, that's just in.

460
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: The NFL is nothing like the NHL. You don't you

461
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: don't draft a seventeen year old kid because he is

462
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: not going to be able to hang in there. Yeah,

463
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: the younger they get, and Tremaine Edmonds was in my mind,

464
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: the only teenager they's ever been drafted. That's that's done it.

465
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: And he's a special kid. Between his ears, he's he's

466
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: got an intellect and a maturity about him that allowed

467
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: him to play and get drafted in the NFL when

468
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: he's nineteen and step right on the field and do it.

469
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: There have been others, but it's rare. You gotta have

470
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: some life experiences in football to walk into an NFL

471
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: locker room where you're talking to a thirty year old

472
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: six five pound guy that's got a wife, three kids

473
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: and has been a war veteran and like a guy

474
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: like Alejandro Villaneueva from Pittsburgh, and you're gonna come in

475
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: and giving it and impart. You're gonna impart him some wisdom. No,

476
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: So it is a rough room to walk into an

477
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: NFL locker room and contribute. So that is a problem

478
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: with this Jason Oway. Not only is he a young foot,

479
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: he's a young dude. He's a redshirt sophomore. He's also

480
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: a young football player. Yeah, I'm not saying he can't

481
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: do it right, but it gives you pause. Like I

482
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, it gives you pause. Hit it and

483
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: his ability, but his ability causes you to have to

484
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: have a conversation about it that it's it's unbelievable that

485
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: that forty time at two hundred and sixty pounds is stupid.

486
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: It jumps, it jumps off the page like you're like

487
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: you're like, if you see that, I'm going I'm I'm like,

488
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: I've got it right here on video watching him. I'm

489
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: watching him do it. The guy looks like a like

490
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: a Greek statue running safety out there. I mean that,

491
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: and he's he's look, he's the guy looks huge and

492
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: he's he doesn't have you see these guys, these these

493
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: forty yard dash times with these guys that come out

494
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: and they run like track guys, like straight up and

495
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: down they go. This guy's running all over the place.

496
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: He looks he looks like a bean bag doll thrown.

497
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean his arms, he's got terrible he's and he's

498
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: got fast. Damn, he's got run. You talk about raw,

499
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: that guy's steak tartar. I'm telling you so, it's amazing

500
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: because I watched that kind I mean, I watch that stuff. Yeah,

501
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: he's not. This is a guy that looks like he

502
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: just walked off the street and ran a forty it.

503
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: It's not like he's been training for it, changing it,

504
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: getting his arms swing right. Nobody was coaching him rising

505
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: up out of his starting block, gow head down, getting

506
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: up and watching looking these guys and their eyes are

507
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: up in the ones. This guy's like he's fighting at

508
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: every step of the way and he roots a fourty

509
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: three six. Yeah stupid. This is a roundabout conversation that

510
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: kind of points to our Twitter poll today which involves

511
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: the Bills and their roster building strategy. Should the success

512
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: of the Bills in twenty twenty all to their approach

513
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: even in the slightest of building a super Bowl team

514
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one? Your choices are simple, yes or no?

515
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: And why please don't just say yes and leave it

516
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: at that, say tell us why you think yes? The

517
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: success the Bills had this past season should alter their

518
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: approach every so slightly and how they build a super

519
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: Bowl team here in twenty twenty one. And that draft

520
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: conversation that Steve and I just had kind of plays

521
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: into some of the thinking and considerations that you wonder

522
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: if Brandon being Sean McDermott, you know in the personnel department,

523
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: will discuss realizing how close they were. I realize every

524
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: year is different, and nobody embodies that belief more than

525
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: coach mcdermotty. He says it dozens of times, pounds it

526
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: into the brains of his players because the fifteen wins

527
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: you got last year doesn't mean a hill of beans

528
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. But this is a pretty darn

529
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: good roster that is largely intact from last year. So

530
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: does that success that the Bills just had getting all

531
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: the way of the AFC Title Game alter their approach

532
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: or should it alter their approach in building a super

533
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: Bowl team this year? Yeah? I think the thing that

534
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: jumps at me, we talk about it all the time.

535
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: I set it right after the season. It's it's sad

536
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: when the season ends the way the Bills did last year.

537
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: When it's over, were particularly in a good season like

538
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have had the last couple of years. Because man,

539
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: because I know as well as anybody your team, team's

540
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna change year to year. It's gonna be different. Last

541
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: year was different than it was in two nineteen. You

542
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: lose a lot of good guys, they move on, they retire,

543
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: they go to another team, You lose them in free agency,

544
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: you don't resign them whatever, So you have a new

545
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: group of guys certainly have a lot of carry over,

546
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: but man, it changes everything when you change twenty five

547
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: percent of the players on your team. This year's same thing.

548
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: You think that was going to happen, and I think

549
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: this is the first year. I don't think their philosophy

550
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: changed this year, but I think the quality of guys

551
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: they were about to lose was different than it has been. Yeah,

552
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose Milano. You don't want to

553
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: lose Feliciano and Darryl Williams. You don't want to lose

554
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. You know, you don't want Isaiah McKenzie. You

555
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: don't want these guys to go. For the first time,

556
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: it's more like, Okay, it was good, but I think

557
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: we can do better, and maybe there are some of

558
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: these guys that we could do better. But yeah, this

559
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: was a team last year that was playing at a

560
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: high level for a lot of the season, and for

561
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: the first time, their philosophy wasn't too just you know,

562
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: fill in for these guys that we've lost, because you know,

563
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: I think it's not going to be that hard. This

564
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: was a different It was the same philosophy, but it

565
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: was executed in a different way because the guys they

566
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: wanted to get happened to be the guys that played

567
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: for him last year. Hard upgrade from those guys break

568
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: time for us. But when we come back We're gonna

569
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the Twitter poll from your comments

Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

581
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker,

582
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: some other pro day results rolling in wide receiver Dwayne Eskridge.

583
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Steve from Western Michigan, also an accomplished return man, just

584
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: ran at his pro day four three eight and four

585
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: three nine. Where do they find these guys? Hey, you're Michigan.

586
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: I guess Western Michigan's got a decent wide receiver history.

587
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: My friend Antonio Brown went there and there's one other

588
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: guy whose name is escaping me that was also there.

589
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: Another good returner. But yeah, Duwayne Eskridge pretty good kick returner,

590
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: average twenty seven and a half yards a return last

591
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: season on kick returns, and you know, did okay, did okay?

592
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: Up there, he's considered. You know, it's the Day three guy.

593
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: But somebody can get in the later rounds help you

594
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: on returns. I don't. I'm not convinced Steve that Isaiah

595
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: McKenzie is gonna do kick and punt return. I think

596
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: you might do punt return, but they may find somebody else. Well,

597
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: you can't get caught short, so you gotta have a

598
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: couple of guys that can do it. Micah Hi can

599
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: certainly catch him right. Kickoff returns, I mean that's yeah,

600
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: That's how I got my first real injury in the

601
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: NFL was returning kickoffs. Yeah, but that was back in

602
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: the old days. Yeah. I um, if he's a wide

603
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver, I'm thinking no, maybe not. I mean, who

604
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: you're we're neck deep, No, we're eyeballs deep and wide

605
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: RECEI fivers and skill guys right now. I mean, and

606
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: I know it's you know, you never get caught short

607
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: in that but man, they won't. No, they've They've got

608
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: three or four guys on the reserve future contracts. You know,

609
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: you're talking Jake Kumereau, Duke Williams. You got those two guys,

610
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: and then you got Isaiah Hodgins coming back from his

611
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: three guys that could probably get on the field for

612
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: some teams. Oh, those guys would make the rosters of

613
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: probably ten twelve teams in the league. Right. So, and

614
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: then you got the five guys who are you know,

615
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: everybody's counting on. Diggs, Beasley, Davis Sanders, Mackenzie. Those are

616
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: the five that that are off the top. So, I

617
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'd say it'd be more of a

618
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Peters, Dion Sanders kind of kick returner, you know,

619
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 1: a defensive back, a corner that can return kicks. Those

620
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: are out there. You see that once in a while. Um,

621
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: so maybe that we will see. Yeah, I'm one of

622
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: the many get closer to being in that spot. Worst, Like,

623
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know who they're gonna take. They can't take anything,

624
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: which is just the way that's where you gotta be,

625
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, because if there's a guy out there, it's

626
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: going to be a really good pro get him. Yeah,

627
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: don't get some guy that can't play just because you

628
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: need a body. Yeah. So, as we said, we were

629
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: going to get to the tweet sheet, which is brought

630
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

631
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. Should the success of the

632
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: Bills in twenty twenty alter their approach of building a

633
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team in twenty twenty one, Jay madd starts

634
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: off by saying, No, we don't want to end up

635
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: in cap hell like in the past. Phil holds where

636
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: you can in free agency, in the draft, get Josh

637
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: as many weapons as you can, build up both lines.

638
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: They trust being a McDermott to do what is necessary

639
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: to get us back to the super Bowl. I'm right

640
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: there with him. Yeah, Yeah, I'm right there with him.

641
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean this, I think it's common for everybody to

642
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: and I because I don't I know it. I know

643
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: the concept of having a this proverbial window that you

644
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: gotta win your Super Bowl. Yeah, And I'm not really

645
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: aspiring to the only window you have is do you

646
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: have a really good quarterback? That's your window And as

647
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: long as he's on your team, you got a chance.

648
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: All Ah, the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco

649
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: forty nines and the eighties with with Joe Montana and

650
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Steve Young, and then the the Indianapolis Colts with Peyton

651
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Manning and then Andrew Luck. There's your window. Build it

652
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: around those guys and give them the support they need

653
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: and hold them accountable. I mean that's you know, there's

654
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: your window. It's not about your rookie contract, and it's

655
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: about the guys on the field and who you can

656
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: find to get it. They get there. So there's your window.

657
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Is perpetual if you it's lengthened. Yes, it's lengthened. It's

658
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: not to a five year rookie deal on your quarterback.

659
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones at eight oh three, five

660
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: fifty a week, go to Donna and West Seneca. Donna,

661
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're one bills live

662
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: a strong No. I was watching with my neighbor and

663
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: we are both strong nose. And why They've got good

664
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: coaching and a good squad. Maybe a little more growth.

665
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: But if you start, you know, changing, it messes up.

666
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: It messes up their rhythm. I think they have a

667
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: good rhythm and they work well together. Yeah, and That's

668
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: probably why for the most part, they've kept the roster

669
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: intact through the course of this offseason. Thanks for the call, Donna.

670
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: And after the success that this team experienced last year,

671
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: people are like, well, if it's not broke, don't fix it.

672
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: But we have to remember, I think that this is

673
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 1: a league where nobody really wants to stand pat because

674
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: they know everybody else is in the same race, trying

675
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: to get a leg up on everybody else. And we

676
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: saw the Chiefs do that last year. They went to

677
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: two straight AFC title games and won the Super Bowl.

678
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: And they reload it again three straight now, well yeah,

679
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: three now, But I'm saying last offseason at this time

680
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: they reloaded. They drafted Clyde Edwards Hilaire at the end

681
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: of the first round. They weren't hard up for a

682
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: running back. Now, in hindsight, it was brilliant that they

683
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: did that because Damian Williams opted out, you know, because

684
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: of COVID. But man alive like those guys reloaded. Yeah,

685
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: um at it again. So there's another teams withstanding pat

686
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: is that you become predictable. You're you're gonna you know,

687
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the same offense you're gonna have the

688
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: same guys running the same things. And then that's one

689
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: of the big criticisms that Mike McCarthy had in Green Bay. Uh,

690
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: they were running the same place ten years into Aaron

691
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers career that they were in his first couple of

692
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: years or whenever you know McCarthy took over. So um,

693
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: the predictability is an enormous problem. And if you come

694
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: back with the exact same roster, in the exact same

695
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: plague book and all that stuff, you start to run

696
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: into some problems because team will be able to anticipate

697
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: and sell out to stop your bread and butter stuff.

698
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: So you gotta evolve quickly and on game day, and

699
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: you got to be flexible and all of that and

700
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: having new and different skill sets on your roster really

701
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: aids in that. And that means different guys. So while

702
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: I am a big fan of what the Bills have

703
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: done this offseason, much like the Kansas City Chiefs did

704
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: last year, you got to get better. Yeah, let's go

705
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: back to the phones. Brian in Swarmsville joins us, Brian,

706
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

707
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: Well on a question I'd like to answer yes, because

708
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: if you say none, only you're conceding that you didn't

709
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: learn anything to improve on. Yeah. I mean I get

710
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and I will and I don't disagree

711
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: with you because I think you always have to strive

712
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: to get better. And that's not to say that the

713
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: Bills aren't trying to do that. I think they are.

714
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: I just think they were very happy with a lot

715
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: of the people they already had in the fold. I

716
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: think the tinkering with the roster is going to be

717
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: less than what we've seen in years past, because on

718
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: the whole, they like where the roster is, and it's

719
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: a roster that got him fifteen wins last year. But

720
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: you are still trying to tweak the roster even ever

721
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: so slightly, to try to improve it where you can

722
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: get even more contributors than you already have. Yeah. I

723
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: don't know that it's much about changing your rosters as

724
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: much as it is about changing your approach. I think

725
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: the real question is do you go out and start

726
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: acquiring players that you wouldn't have done on the way

727
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: up to this point because it was a little bit

728
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: financially irresponsible, or taking a chance on a guy who

729
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: may or may not be able to help you. And Brian,

730
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: are you still there? You know, we had to let

731
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: him go because we're up against the break here. But

732
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's the thing. I mean, the approach

733
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: does it? Are you tempted by the success you had

734
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: this last year of doing something special, extra special or

735
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: different than what got you here? And I think, lack

736
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: of a better term, taking a shortcut right, And I

737
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: think that is where you know I would draw the line.

738
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: I think what you're doing is working. And like I said,

739
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: I've said one hundred times of the last cup three weeks,

740
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: you just got to play better on that day. You know,

741
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: you've got the guys to win, to beat anybody, but

742
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: you got to play well on that day. Break time

743
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: for us. When we come back, we are going to

744
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: delve into more of your comments on the tweet sheet

745
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: about should the success of the Bills in twenty twenty

746
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: all to their approach of building a Super Bowl team

747
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. And we're also going to bring

748
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: you some interesting video from a time when Josh Allen

749
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: and one Jacob Hollister were previously teammates. We'll show that

750
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: to you next here on One Bills Live, presented by

751
00:42:52,200 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

752
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

753
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: and we mentioned that we wanted to well, I guess

754
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: we're kind of shedding some light on the prior working

755
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: relationship between one Josh Allen and one Jacob Hollister, as

756
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: it's already been communicated when we had Hollister on the

757
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: show earlier this week after he signed his contract with

758
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. He played with Josh for two seasons at

759
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: the University of Wyoming along with Tanner Gentry, the wide

760
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: receiver who was currently on the Bill's offseason roster. He

761
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: was signed to a reserve futures contract after being on

762
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: the practice squad in the latter stages of last season.

763
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: So we came across this out in cyberspace wanted to

764
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: share it with you. This is one Jacob Hollister and

765
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in a postgame press conference after a Wyoming's

766
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 1: Wyoming Cowboys victory and here they are answering questions from

767
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: the media in Laramie. That's what happens when you play

768
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: a lot of zone on defense, and you know they

769
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: just kind of gave us the opportunities. And you know,

770
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: Jake's one of the harts working guys on his team

771
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: as a captain, he no one deserves us more than him.

772
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: He's a playmaker and he busses, he buses, but every day,

773
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: UM couldn't be happier for him. I love this guy

774
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: right here. I love all my teammates, and you know,

775
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: I just it was our day to day. So there's Josh.

776
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Does he sound exactly the same It's the same guy. Ridiculous,

777
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, so you could see the camaraderie. Our

778
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 1: MSG viewers could see the camaraderie, and just to paint

779
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: the picture for our radio listeners, Jacob sitting right next

780
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: to him. Clearly Josh was asked a question about Jake,

781
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: who probably made a big play in the game, maybe

782
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: at the game winning touchdown, what have you. And you know,

783
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: Josh is waxing poetic about his teammate, says he loves

784
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: the guy, and Jake kind of taps him on the

785
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: thigh for you know, giving him how much Josh is

786
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: in full wyoming regalio, Josh hadds jersey everything, full game gear,

787
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: and Josh puts his arm around him at the end um,

788
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: you know. And then obviously they kind of ran into

789
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: each other after the Bills Seahawks game last year in

790
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: Week nine. They took a picture after the game, which

791
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: we're showing our MSG viewers now. So suffice to say

792
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: they're tight. I think that's safe, right, yeah, and that's uh,

793
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: hopefully it serves them well on the field. They but

794
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: it was really funny. It popped up on the timeline though, WHOA,

795
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: who's it? And it looked like it could have been yesterday. Yeah,

796
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: and here they are once again playing together. That's kind

797
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: of cool for the Wyoming people, for their family, all

798
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: of that stuff. It's really cool. I mean, I I mean,

799
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: I played with a couple of I played with one college,

800
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: but we're still close friends. Uh. John Kidd, the punter

801
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: for the Bills, was drafted the year before I was,

802
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: and two years later we're playing pro football together. It's

803
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah, And same thing with those two. I

804
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: gotta think it's even more cool for like a non

805
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: Power five conference school like that, Like there's only a

806
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: select few from teams like Wyoming that are going to

807
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: make it to the NFL and hang around for a

808
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 1: while and for all three to be here in Buffalo

809
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, pretty wild to think of it that way.

810
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: We got time to squeeze a phone call in here

811
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 1: before we get to the top of the hour, and

812
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: for that we go to Tom in West Seneca. Tom,

813
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live, Chris, Steve,

814
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: thanks for having me appreciate it. You know, I really

815
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: think that because of budget constraints that we have to

816
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: make some tough decisions. And I have every bit of

817
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: faith in Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean. There two of

818
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: the most brilliant minds in football. You have to make

819
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: some adjustments, clearly, but they've got to be slight because

820
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: we're there. We're right there now. We could become a

821
00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: very dominant force in the NFL over the next few years. That,

822
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: like I said, there's tough decisions because of budget constraints,

823
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: and we're on the right trajectory, that's clear. But they'll

824
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: they'll make the right choices. And I've got to point

825
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: out to you, Chris, the other day, I had no

826
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: idea that coach Carroll Pete Carroll was with buffaloed for Yeah,

827
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: and Steve, I couldn't agree with you more. You were

828
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,479
Speaker 1: pretty clear on it the other day. The more time

829
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: you have on the plane on the field, better your

830
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: team is going to be. But of course with this

831
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, it does, it does call for some tough decisions.

832
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: The question I had was did the NFL mandate vaccinations yet?

833
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: And if they do, is it a requirement that each

834
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: player must be vaccinated? And about sky about sky view,

835
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: I took that to mean that there are going to

836
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: have like maybe a drone. I mean, hell, these drones

837
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: do whatever day down at Day's house the other day. Yeah, understood,

838
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: But no, that's thanks to mcdermots. Appreciate you. You have

839
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: a great day, all right, Thanks Tom. Tom basically encapsulated

840
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: the entire week of shows there in one phone call.

841
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: That was impressive. His memory is better than mine. I

842
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: couln't even remember what we talked about on Monday. Oh

843
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: my god. Right, he's right. Though a lot of people

844
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: have Brandon Bean Sean McDermot have earned the trust of

845
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans to do this right. I

846
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: do think I do agree with they don't need to

847
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: overhaul everything and get and slightly better and do you know,

848
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: and make just slight adjustment. That's maybe all the money

849
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: they have to do that with, and resigning their own

850
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: took up, you know, all the cap space they needed

851
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: or had. Um One thing about this is too He's right,

852
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: they only need slight adjustments. But they also know this.

853
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Bean and Sean McDermot have shown the

854
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: willingness to if an opportunity to get better pops up,

855
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 1: even if it is a little bit J J. Watt,

856
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: they'll they'll kick the tires. Yeah, if you can get

857
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: significantly better, even if it means saying goodbye to some

858
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: guys you really love and respect or near and dear

859
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: to you. But if you're gonna get better by doing it,

860
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: you gotta think they'll do it. That doesn't mean those

861
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: opportunities are right and left all the time. I'm just

862
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: saying they keep their minds open as to what is

863
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: possible for their team. And I think that is a

864
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: really good mindset to have, and we've seen them exercise

865
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: that mindset a ton of times, and I think the

866
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: way it usually manifests itself. They go out and who

867
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: who's Darryl Williams? Who's he turns out like, wow, look

868
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: who they found? There. That's how it usually is, and

869
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: that's the better way to do it. I think finding

870
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: a guy who all of a sudden hits a home

871
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: run for your club. Yeah, And I think if you

872
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: look at what they have done this offseason, it is

873
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: a clear indication that they believe they have the people

874
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: to a vast degree that they need to win the

875
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: whole damn thing. Proof of that came not only in

876
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: the fact that they resigned people like Matt Milano, John Feliciano,

877
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: and Darryl Williams, they signed all three of them to

878
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: long term contracts. Three years for Feliciano, three years for

879
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams, four years for Matt Milano. I mean, you're

880
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: not bringing those guys back into the fulls. All right,

881
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: let's just take one more kick out of here's a

882
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: one year, three years, three years, and four years. I mean,

883
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: if that is non indication that they believe they have

884
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: the horses to go all the way with who they

885
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: have already, I don't know what else does. You're right, Yeah,

886
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. And those guys and they're

887
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: proving putting their money where their mouth is when they

888
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: tell their whole team listen, if you earn it, you're

889
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna get it now. Break time for us. But when

890
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: we return, it is our colleague Maddie Glab joining us.

891
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little more of the mock draft

892
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: watch along with some other stuff that we have in store.

893
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: Gets set to have some fun with Mattie when we return.

Speaker 1: are resigning running back James White, and they're also set

911
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: to bring back starting defensive tackle Lawrence Guy on a

912
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: reported four year deal. The Miami Dolphins at resigned linebacker

913
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,919
Speaker 1: a Land and Roberts, who finished fifth on the team

914
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: last year in tackles and third in tackles for loss

915
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: despite playing just thirty nine percent of the defensive snaps

916
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins last year. Bears agreed to terms on

917
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: a one year deal with former Chiefs running back Damian Williams.

918
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: Team also signed linebacker Christian Jones. Meanwhile, in hockey, Sabers

919
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: and Penguins square off for the second game in a

920
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: row tonight in Pittsburgh. Last night to Penguins beat the

921
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: Sabers five to two. That is your sports update from

922
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here for hour

923
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: number two of the show and joining us now in

924
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: the second hour the program is our own colleague Mattie

925
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: glab who is here to talk mock draft watch Steve,

926
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: Are you ready? It's my favorite part of this whole week. Mattie,

927
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: how are we doing. I'm doing good. I'm upset that

928
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't have a blue striped polo. Yeah. What the

929
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: really really completely track effecta that you guys have going? Yeah,

930
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: she went, she went read today. So now you're not

931
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: my favorite any movie. Come. It's always fun to have

932
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: you on because I like, I like, you know, pooh

933
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: pooing mock drafts that the guys that were not not

934
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: mock drafts, but the guys they always tell us we're

935
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna take because I never believe it. And I think

936
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: there's been like because there's always like five thousand, so

937
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: you can always find one who maybe gets a shot

938
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: in the dark, particularly at number thirty, that has a

939
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: chance of being right right. It's hard to do. And

940
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, what have you noticed about how right? How much?

941
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: What have you noticed about how these mock drafts have

942
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 1: evolved over the last month? Oh well, I can tell

943
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: you the last twelve that we tracked, which is what

944
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: went out on Saturday. It was the latest round of

945
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: the mock draft Watch five point zero. So we've done

946
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: five so far, We've tracked sixty four mock drafts, and

947
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure this has not come as a shock to

948
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: any of you, But there were no linebackers mocked to

949
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in this last round or this last

950
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: batch that I've been tracking, of course, because these now

951
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: have come out after Matt Milano has resigned with the

952
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The running backs also not as much. I've

953
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: got to say. Out of the last twelve, six corners

954
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: have been mocked to the Buffalo Bills on running back,

955
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: three edge rushers, two offensive tackles, and one defensive tackles.

956
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: So this is how we're seeing this all evolve now

957
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: as the Buffalo Bills have made quite a few free

958
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: agency moves and resigning their own. Now, out of the

959
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: sixty four corners now lead the pack, thirteen corners or

960
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: have been mocked to the Buffalo Bills with that number

961
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: thirty pick thirteen offensive tackles, so they're tied thirteen and thirteen.

962
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: That's who people think we're going to take as a

963
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: corner or an offensive tackle. Running Backs have been mocked

964
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: to us ten times. Out of the sixty four mock

965
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: drafts that we've tracked, ten linebackers, nine edge rushers, three

966
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: defensive tackles, and then the rest kind of falls off

967
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: from there. So corners and offensive tackles are in the

968
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: lead right now. For what people think that the Buffalo

969
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: Bills are going to draft at number thirty. Yeah, and

970
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: how about that, Steve, They're coming around our way of thinking.

971
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: You were all about old line. I was all about

972
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: cornerback and way out in front, drifting that way, way

973
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: out and drifting that way at least now, Maddie. I

974
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: know in a previous mock draft watch discussion with you

975
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: on the show, we did talk about JC Horn, the

976
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina cornerback. That guy blew up the workout this

977
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: week in South Carolina's pro day runs a four to

978
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: three nine. And now people are saying this guy is

979
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: going to be long gone before the Bills are on

980
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: the board at thirty, which is rather unfortunate. So it

981
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: looks like we're gonna have to look at some other

982
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: choices here going forward. And I know one that got

983
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: mocked to the Bills was Greg Newsom from Steve School Northwestern.

984
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: He's a Northwestern guy. I think this is somebody that

985
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: we can all get on board with. He's also from Chicago.

986
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm from Chicago, as I talk about all the time,

987
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: So I'm a big fan. So this guy is a junior.

988
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: He went to IMG Academy for his senior year in

989
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: high school. This is important because IMG Academy is the

990
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: high school to go to if you want to play

991
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: at a great college football school. Northwestern is definitely up

992
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: there with what they've been able to do with their

993
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: program over the last several years. So this guy did

994
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 1: miss part of his freshman sophomore year due to injury.

995
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: He's only played into twenty one career games in the

996
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: time that he's been at Northwestern, which is three years,

997
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: so I think he has a little bit more of

998
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: a high ceiling than some other players who are being

999
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: mocked to the Bills that might have had four years

1000
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: of starting experience. And of the three years, he totaled

1001
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: seventy one tackles only one interception. But his strength came

1002
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: in pass breakups. He had twenty five of them double

1003
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: digit pass breakups in the last two seasons. And what

1004
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: I think this guy excels at is he's your good,

1005
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: great coverage corner. He seems to be in the right

1006
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: place at the right time, not by chance, but by

1007
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: his athletic ability. I think he probably could have a

1008
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: couple more interceptions with how close he is to some plays,

1009
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: But I think his feet are better than his hands

1010
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. He's the type of

1011
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: player who comes flying in from nowhere. A lot of

1012
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: the tackles on tape that you've been seeing have came

1013
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: from underneath. Throughout a lot of the stuff that I

1014
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: watched this morning, I think he does a great job

1015
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: of going stride for stride with receivers. Questions for him,

1016
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: which is going to be the same question for the

1017
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: next corner I'm going to talk about, is your run

1018
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: support These two corners that I'm mentioning, they're a little

1019
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: bit small. They're not your stocky guys. Although the next

1020
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: corner that I'm going to talk about can also play

1021
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: inside because of his speed. So Greg Knewsom is six feet,

1022
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: he's one hundred and ninety two pounds, So we're looking

1023
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: at your six foot corners. I mean, this is you know,

1024
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: usually what you get. But he's not a heavier corner

1025
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: per se. Yeah, I mean I watched a lot of

1026
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: tape on the guy this week, and what strikes me

1027
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: is like, you know, he's that long angular athlete timed

1028
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: really well on the watch, I mean, he ran a

1029
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: four three eight at his pro day. But the thing

1030
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: that's crazy is, yes, he times on the watch really fast,

1031
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: but he's not like this sudden, explosive, quick twitchy guy,

1032
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: which I think is why he's probably gonna be in

1033
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's range. You're at thirty and as Maddie said,

1034
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: the run support is the issue. He is not a

1035
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: hitter at all. Like remember Antoine Winfield was a small guy.

1036
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: That guy could hit people like, he could lay it on,

1037
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: and Newsom doesn't do that. He's more of a drag

1038
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: down tackler. He cuts guys when they're coming at him.

1039
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, he drops the shoulder and cuts him to

1040
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: get him down on the ground rather than you know,

1041
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: lay in the lumber. That's just not who he is. Yeah,

1042
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: it might be one of the things that pushes him

1043
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: down a little further in the draft as well. I

1044
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: don't but you know, as we've seen being fast and

1045
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: playing fast or two different things, you've you've got to

1046
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: be able to transfer it. And I think longer guys

1047
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: like this Greg Newsom and like a guy like Richard Sherman,

1048
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: guys who were longer have to be really efficient in

1049
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: their movements. They can't recover as fast because they don't

1050
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: bend their knees as much and explode back out of

1051
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: the break. They kind of round, you know, they round it.

1052
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: And even in the in the past breakup we were

1053
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: watching here against I think was Nebraska in this highlight

1054
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: we've just been watching, he turns his hips and doesn't

1055
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: really he doesn't really get out of his back pedal,

1056
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: and when he puts his foot in the ground, he

1057
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: doesn't really have to move it but maybe a step

1058
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 1: and a half to get back to the receiver. The

1059
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: explosions not there. Yeah, he's he didn't have to because

1060
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: of the efficiency of his movements, which is what long

1061
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: corners do. So he's a different He's got that look

1062
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: about him, that long look about him, and he plays

1063
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: like that. And I think if you can get him

1064
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: and get his technique right and where he has an understanding,

1065
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: no question he could play at this level. But if

1066
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: you've got to play it at this level, you gotta

1067
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: be a willing tackler. Yeah, especially in this system. Yeah,

1068
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: it's gotta be a willing tackler. If you're not, they're

1069
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: going to go to somebody else. So, Maddie, we've also

1070
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: got the Georgia kid who ran exceptionally well at his

1071
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: pro day. Steve you remember, I remember you saw it

1072
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter when he ran the four two nine. Your

1073
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: eyes almost popped out of your head. But Eric Stokes

1074
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: Maddie give us the lowdown on him. Yeah. So this

1075
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: is a guy that I've seen mock to the Bills

1076
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: actually in the first and the second round. So his

1077
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: draft stock right now is kind of all over the place.

1078
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: It definitely went up with his forty time. But this

1079
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: kid is also a junior. He's one one hundred and

1080
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: ninety four pounds. He's played in thirty six career games,

1081
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: so he does have a lot more experience than Newsome.

1082
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: He had four interceptions in his career. They all came

1083
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. He's broken up twenty six passes. He

1084
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: has three touchdowns off of interceptions and a touchdown off

1085
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: of a blocked punt, which just speaks to his athleticism

1086
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: as as a whole. I think because he's so fast,

1087
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: you have a really quick first step, and he can

1088
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: beat receivers to the football. I think that's why he's

1089
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: been able to get four interceptions in twenty twenty. But

1090
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: even those, he's quick. I like that he doesn't overcommit.

1091
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: I think that's something that's easy to do for defensive players,

1092
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: is if you're quick, it's easy to overcommit or to

1093
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: overrun things. He does a good job of not doing that.

1094
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: He's someone who can play outside and in the slot

1095
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: because of his quickness. But just like newsom guys, he

1096
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: does not have a lot of punch in him. He

1097
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have that I guess effort that you would want

1098
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: maybe out of a corner that you get in a

1099
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: bigger corner. He's your long, lanky guy as well, who

1100
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: his strength is his speed, but his weakness is the

1101
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't have that punch that you want.

1102
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: He's able to run stride for stride with everyone because

1103
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: of that quickness. Again, a big question for him is

1104
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: his run support. If you're watching tape on him and

1105
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: you're not watching complete games, all you're seeing in his

1106
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: highlight tapes are past breakups and things like that. You're

1107
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: not seeing him wrap up in the run game. NFL

1108
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Network rates him as a good backup who could become

1109
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: a starter. I think he looks like he's got the

1110
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: tools and if he receives the right coaching, he can

1111
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: become a great corner. And with a lot of these

1112
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: skinnier corners, what happens is is they go to the

1113
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: NFL and they gain weight in the weight room in muscle.

1114
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: So that's what happened with Levi Wallace. We saw over

1115
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: this past year. It might not happen instantly, but I

1116
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: think you and put some strength and some weight on

1117
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: a guy and you can get a little a little

1118
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: bit more punch in him, a little bit more of

1119
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: that pop that you want to see in a tackler.

1120
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: And the only thing that I will say about Stokes

1121
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: that separates him from Newsom in the tackling department is

1122
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: he is a far more willing tackler in terms of

1123
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: meeting a guy face up, putting the crown of his

1124
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: helmet on somebody's chest, and he is a willing guy

1125
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: that wants to hit. I think sometimes he forgets he's

1126
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety four pounds, or maybe he just

1127
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: doesn't care. This is also a guy that routinely for

1128
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Georgia was matched up on the fastest player that the

1129
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: other team could put on the field at the receiver position.

1130
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: This is a guy who had to cover Henry Ruggs

1131
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the entire game. When he played against Alabama two years

1132
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: ago and had a pass breakup in the end zone

1133
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: on a slant route that was impressive. I mean, you

1134
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: have to have elite speed to undercut Henry Ruggs on

1135
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: a slant route in the end zone to break up

1136
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: a pass. That impressed me. And we also saw in

1137
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: this highlight reel him sacking the quarterback on a corner

1138
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: blitz against Tennessee the ref bit it and the return.

1139
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Also that guy got sandwiched and absolutely annihilated. But I

1140
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: like Stokes a little bit better than Newsom because I

1141
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: think his game is more complete than Newsom. I might

1142
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: even be inclined to put him ahead of Newsom if

1143
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: you're ranking corners. Yeah, I think I would too, because,

1144
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too, a guy coming out of

1145
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: the SEC, to me, is more battle hardened than a

1146
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: guy coming out of the Big Ten. When you're talking

1147
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: about throwing the ball and the athleticism with god skill

1148
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: position guys you're gonna be facing against not the Big

1149
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Ten's a great con I played in it. I know

1150
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, Michigan, Ohio State that they've got some guys,

1151
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: But when you get down out of that top two

1152
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 1: or three or four teams. Yeah, the athlete, you don't,

1153
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's just not that many athletes you're gonna

1154
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: face like you do at a place with Georgia, like

1155
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: where you got Tennessee and you know Clemson. I'm not Clemson,

1156
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: but you know all those teams. So yeah, I agree

1157
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: with you. I like the competition level that he was at.

1158
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: But both these guys are kind of similar to me.

1159
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: They're long and narrow, and they're fast and the rest

1160
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you're yes you can, but yes you can't.

1161
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: You can't speed, you can't coach height, you can't get

1162
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: you can't make a guy taller, but you can get

1163
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: him faster if he's willing to work at it. The

1164
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: question is, if you're talking about these two guys, there's

1165
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, JC Horn and Eric Stokes, you start splitting hairs.

1166
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: To me, you start splitting hairs, and that's okay. You

1167
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: take one at thirty you take the next one at

1168
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: thirty four or thirty six, or you know, he gets

1169
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: taken right there. They're both maybe the same guy, headed

1170
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: in the same direction, and it may be where they land.

1171
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: That says how the first four years of their career

1172
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: is going to go. All right, let's flip it over

1173
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: to the offensive line here, Maddie, because uh, as much

1174
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: to Steve's delight, there are some more off of Lyneman

1175
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: being mocked to the Bills of late, and there's one

1176
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: from Michigan that is coming up. Yeah, so we've got

1177
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Mayfield from Michigan. He's an offensive tackle. He's been

1178
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: mocked to the Bills probably four times. I want to say,

1179
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to count before I went

1180
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: on air, but three or four times. And he's been

1181
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: mocked from the beginning to this last mock draft watch

1182
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: that we've tracked, all these mock drafts, the last twelve

1183
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: that we've tracked, he's been a part of it. So

1184
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: this guy's a six five, three hundred twenty pound redshirt sophomore.

1185
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: So again, someone who doesn't have that much experience, and

1186
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: even less last year because of COVID and because of

1187
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: a high ankle spring. He has only appeared in eighteen

1188
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: games out of the three years that he's been in

1189
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: college football. Out of those eighteen, he has fifteen starts

1190
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: at right tackle. He played a little bit of left tackle,

1191
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: two at Michigan. So this is someone who only played

1192
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: in two games last year, so not too much experienced

1193
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: last season. The two games that he did play in,

1194
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: he did a great job at that right tackle position

1195
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: from what I read this morning, But NFL Network grades

1196
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: him as someone who could become a starter, but is

1197
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: more likely to be a backup in his first couple

1198
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: of seasons in the NFL. I think he has pretty

1199
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: good fundamentals. His first few steps are always the right steps.

1200
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: From what I was watching in his pass blocking and

1201
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: run blocking, it seems like his strength is definitely in

1202
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: the run blocking game. He's able to get to the

1203
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: second level of the field pretty easily, and he gives

1204
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback enough time and enough room to make some plays.

1205
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 1: And he also looks pretty good in space. So I

1206
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: think this is someone who has a lot of upside

1207
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: because he has so little experience in college football. He

1208
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: had thirteen starts in his second year and red shirted

1209
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: his first year, so he played in three games his

1210
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: first year, thirteen games his second year, and then two

1211
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: games this past season. So I think more upside than

1212
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: anything if he gets a good coach who can help him.

1213
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: I think this is somebody who you probably want on

1214
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: your team just based off what he's been able to

1215
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: show in so little time. I mean, injuries kind of

1216
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: cut into his time on the field in his sophomore year,

1217
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: Army in his junior year, and there are some that

1218
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: think he might project inside to guard as well. You know,

1219
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: this is where the scouts come in with the arm

1220
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: length stuff and the footwork stuff, and they say, like, yeah,

1221
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, Steve, you could put a guy that

1222
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: didn't have elite feet at right tackle and be okay.

1223
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 1: Now you have to have two good athletes at left

1224
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: and right tackle. And if a guy shows that maybe

1225
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 1: he doesn't have top flight feet, they move him inside

1226
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: and say, let's just put him at guard. He'll be

1227
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: much more successful there where if he's playing at right

1228
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: tackle in the NFL, he may be hanging on by

1229
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: a threat every week. Right and Mattie's right when you

1230
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: say about his upside. These guys are coming out as

1231
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: you say. He's a red shirt junior, red shirt sophomore.

1232
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: He's only got eighteen games. He's been in the building

1233
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: there at Michigan for what three years now, but he

1234
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: didn't play much last year two games. So because of COVID.

1235
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: The reason these guys are intriguing is because you get

1236
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: to a point where when they start to learn, they

1237
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: get into the pro pro environment and they see everybody

1238
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: there trying to get better and working hard and getting

1239
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and learning some techniques. They have a long way they

1240
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 1: could go and and most of if not all, of

1241
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: what transforms one of these guys on this list we're

1242
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: looking at it. You know, offensive line prospects here on

1243
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: MSG or if you're listening on your radio. One of

1244
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: the the biggest difference maker for these players we're talking

1245
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: about all these prospects is what's inside their head. If

1246
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: they make a decision and they get in a mindset

1247
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: where they're not going to be denied, and there they

1248
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: have a quest that they're gonna get on the field

1249
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna start, and they're gonna get to a

1250
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl or get to the All Pro or they're

1251
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a legendary player. When they get that ingrained

1252
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: inside him. It can happen even for guys who don't

1253
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: check all the physical boxes that the guys on these

1254
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: lists do. It could happen from anybody. So Mattie's right

1255
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 1: in some ways, the younger these guys are coming out

1256
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: the bigger high end they have, but the harder road

1257
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: it is because as I told, more a ground to cover. Yeah,

1258
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,679
Speaker 1: it's more ground to cover. And when you walk into

1259
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,520
Speaker 1: an NFL locker room as a young kid, it's intimidating

1260
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: and it can crush your soul if you if you're

1261
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: not successful, or if you're you just can't make it,

1262
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: and that or that organization that drafts you just isn't

1263
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: patient enough. And then because of an injury, you lose

1264
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,839
Speaker 1: a year. And then you go to another another building,

1265
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: another team, and they lose patience whether you or don't

1266
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: have the time for you. And that's what happens. So

1267
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: it's all about where you go and get drafted and

1268
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: can they be patient enough to help you get to

1269
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: your high end? And for the bills, that's what they're

1270
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: all about. But the bills right now, at this point

1271
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: in history, aren't quite where they're willing to us like say, hey,

1272
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: even if the guy's not that good, he's still good

1273
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: enough for our team. It's not that way anymore. You

1274
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: gotta be good to get on this team. So it's

1275
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: a double edged sword. Do you take one of these

1276
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: kids with fantastic potential in a high end or do

1277
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: you take a guy who may be able to help

1278
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: you a little quicker. That's a big question, right, And

1279
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: we always and we know Maddie that the Bills love

1280
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: position flexibility. So maybe they are interested in a guy

1281
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: like this who has tackle experience but could transition to

1282
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: guard and in a pinch, if you need him a tackle,

1283
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: maybe he can help you there as well. Yeah, I

1284
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: completely agree, and I also think you know it's going

1285
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: to differ position by position on if they want to

1286
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: invest in someone who has more upside that might take

1287
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: a couple of years to come on, rather than drafting

1288
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: someone at number thirty who could be your third or

1289
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: fourth string player that does see snaps in every game

1290
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: or in every few games based on availability. We do

1291
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: know this offensive line loves position flexibility, and they show

1292
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: that last season with injuries. I hope that's not the

1293
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: case this year, but we know in training camp they're

1294
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: going to rep guys all over the place and they're

1295
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: going to figure out who that's starting five is. I'm

1296
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: sure we can guess who it's going to be, but

1297
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: when injuries happen, it was so nice to see our

1298
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 1: offensive line shift and not miss a beat. And because

1299
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: of that, Josh Allen was able to go out there

1300
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: and do his best and we were able to win games.

1301
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you throw John Feliciano out at center

1302
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 1: and he he sucks at it, which he completely didn't,

1303
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: that's a different story. And so I think position flexibility,

1304
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 1: especially for offensive line, is something that's super important that

1305
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,799
Speaker 1: these guys do have in college. Most of these offensive

1306
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 1: linemen that we're looking at now, more often than not,

1307
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: at least the guys that have been mocked to the Bills,

1308
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: it's like, yes they played tackle, or yes they played

1309
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: offensive guard, but they did play snaps at another position,

1310
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,719
Speaker 1: or we could see them moving across the offensive line.

1311
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Cody Ford and what he's been

1312
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: able to do. Whether he finds a home at one

1313
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: position or not, he's still been a great offensive lineman

1314
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. I know he had those injuries,

1315
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: but hopefully this upcoming season we really see him in

1316
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: a solidified role, whether that's at one position or shifting

1317
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: between two. Well, we know the Bills still need a

1318
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,839
Speaker 1: swing tackle and they still need some depth at guards.

1319
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,560
Speaker 1: So offensive lineman or guys to keep an eye on

1320
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: as far as the draft class goes, unless the do

1321
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: something in free agency between now and then. Maddie has

1322
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: always thanks for the time. Thanks for breaking down the

1323
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: latest prospects on the mock draft watch. We'll keep an

1324
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: eye on those every Saturday on Buffalo bills dot com.

1325
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate the time, Thanks Maddie. Yeah, of course, I'll bring

1326
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: my polo next time. That's strikes. Yeah, we'll try to

1327
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 1: get you on the on the bill swag department. There.

1328
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 1: We're a little slow here during the pandemic. We gotta

1329
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: we gotta revitalize the wardrobe. Steve and I certainly do.

1330
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 1: Look at us, we look ridiculous to Thanks Mattie. Thanks guys.

1331
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 1: All right, that's Maddie glaber colleague helping us out here.

1332
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, putting those mock draft watches up

1333
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: every Saturday, which we know are very popular among our

1334
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: fans because they're curious. They're like, hey, what are people

1335
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: thinking about us at thirty And you know, Maddie kind

1336
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: of collects them all into one spot and then we

1337
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: just put them up every Saturday on Buffalo bills dot

1338
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: com for everybody to chew on. I'm gonna I'm gonna

1339
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: have to ask her if she can kind of compile

1340
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: that one name that's been mocked to the Bills more

1341
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 1: than any other name. Well, she she's done that. We've

1342
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I think she'd did the breakdown for us the last

1343
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: time we had her on. She's like, oh, this guy

1344
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: was named seven times, this guy was named She's got

1345
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: a whole Yeah, this database we tackle from Notre Dame.

1346
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: Liam Eichenberg. Oh yeah, Eichenberger has been tagged on the

1347
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 1: Bills a bunch of times. A big six eight tackle

1348
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: out of Notre Dame. Um and this um the guy

1349
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: we were just talking about a moment ago. Jalen Mayfield

1350
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: tackle out of Michigan, same kind of thing. There are

1351
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people that think he's a guard in

1352
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. They think he could he could survive at tackle,

1353
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: but they think he could excel at guard. And we've

1354
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: seen this debate before, even with Bills picks code Corty Glenn,

1355
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: Cody Ford. I mean, remember when Corty Glenn got drafted

1356
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: by Buddy Knicks. They're like, oh, he's a guard, he's

1357
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: a guard. He played left tackle here. You know the

1358
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: same thing with Cody Ford. Ah, he's best at guard.

1359
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: He played right tackle. Here's rookie year. So you know, uh,

1360
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 1: Jaylen Mainfield's a guy that a lot of people are

1361
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: projected into guard. But there are teams out there they're

1362
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: probably saying, no, he can't play tackle in the league.

1363
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: It's impossible for NFL scouts. I mean, they can see

1364
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: these guys on film, they can go to practice and

1365
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 1: watch them play. They can sit down and look him

1366
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: in the eye and talk to them for an hour

1367
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: or two hours or whatever. Spend a weekend in the

1368
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: college town and getting to know the guy at talking

1369
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,879
Speaker 1: to people about him. You can never you can't scout

1370
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: how becoming a professional athlete changes a kid, because it

1371
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: does that environment, whatever environment it is, particularly you don't

1372
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: know how it's going to be different. And this is

1373
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: the ultimate. How do you know that Sam Darnold wouldn't

1374
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,759
Speaker 1: have been a completely different quarterbacker, had much different success

1375
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:38,919
Speaker 1: rate if he had been drafted by Jacksonville, Miami, Houston, Buffalo,

1376
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,799
Speaker 1: you name it. It's a completely different organization, completely different teammates,

1377
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: can completely different coaching. How would that have changed to guys?

1378
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: You know, arc of his career and it but it

1379
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 1: is something every kid has to deal with. So you're

1380
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: taking an unbelievably complex individual who's different from every other

1381
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 1: kid in his draft class at the same position. He's

1382
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 1: completely different, and you're putting in him on some NFL team.

1383
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 1: You're projecting him on an NFL team that is different

1384
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 1: than the other thirty one NFL teams, and you're mixing

1385
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:16,679
Speaker 1: the two together trying to find the which combination would

1386
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: have the most success. Forget it. It's a crapshoot, you know,

1387
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's why mock drafts and all that. It's

1388
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: it's so fun to think about. But man, you got it.

1389
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: We don't even know who these guys are. Even even

1390
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 1: the best scouts in the league don't know definitively who

1391
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: they are, and the team at large, after they get

1392
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: him in the building won't know who they are until

1393
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: they put him on the field. There's been a lot

1394
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: to say that's when you you know, when you know,

1395
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: you know when you and you know what. The unbelievable

1396
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: part of it is they're coaches that will come tell

1397
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 1: you I knew twenty minutes into his career when we

1398
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: got finally I knew which on the field, though, is

1399
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: when you know that's when you know when you got

1400
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: when you start coaching them and talking to him is

1401
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 1: when you know. And and there's been a lot of

1402
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: articles coming out of Jacksonville Urban Meyer, who came from,

1403
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, the highest lent ranks of the college level,

1404
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: and this free agency round that we're in, He's like,

1405
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: this is nuts. I'm offering these guys wads of cash.

1406
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: I've never even met him. He goes, That's not how

1407
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to do business. Welcome, you better get used

1408
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: to it. Welcome break time for us, Steve and I'll

1409
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about draft prospects, but we'll

1410
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 1: also get back to our conversation about the bills approach

1411
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: to building a Super Bowl winner and if their success

1412
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: from last year should alter the plan even ever so

1413
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: slightly to get into full blown go for it mode

1414
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: and talk to you about that when we return here

1415
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's

1416
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

1417
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 1: Steve Task, you're with you talking about the success of

1418
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the Bills in twenty twenty and whether or not at

1419
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 1: alter their approach of building a Super Bowl team. Here

1420
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Obviously, the signings that they have

1421
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: made to this point, the longest commitments being those of

1422
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 1: their own players that they resigned to the roster, with

1423
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: the exception of Levi Wallace and Isaiah Mackenzie who signed

1424
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: one year deals, they made long term commitments to the

1425
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: like of Ary, likes of Daryl Williams, John Feliciano, and

1426
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: of Matt Mullano. Does that an indication to you that

1427
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: they think they can win with the group as it's

1428
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: currently constituted. Naturally, they've made some small tweaks Emmanuel Sanders

1429
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: on the roster among others Jacob Hollister, etc. But the

1430
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: vast majority of this roster remains intact, which I think

1431
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: is a signal that they think they can go all

1432
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: the way with the majority of the group they already

1433
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: had on board. But we want to know if you

1434
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: think that the means by which they have gotten to

1435
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: this point should slightly change to get them over the

1436
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: hump and to a Super Bowl title. And more than

1437
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: sixty percent of you are saying no, don't leave it aloud,

1438
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 1: don't do anything, But there's a respectable percentage there Steve

1439
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: saying yeah, you gotta tweak it a little bit. You

1440
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: gotta go for it, get a little take out, a

1441
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 1: little more risk. It's a little impatience in there. Yeah,

1442
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to do that in a restrictive cap year.

1443
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: I wonder if the cap was what it normally was,

1444
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: if Brandon Bean would have been a little bit more

1445
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: open to just a wee bit more risk taking, if

1446
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: he thought it meant they might they might have been

1447
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: able to entice and on gone out and gotten the

1448
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 1: right kind of guys. I mean, maybe they maybe they've

1449
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: already got a guy like Richard Sherman in the fold.

1450
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: If they do that, maybe they've already got a guy

1451
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: like Um, I've been talking about him all day, Alejandro Villaneueva,

1452
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: the tackle from Pittsburgh. Guys like that are special, and

1453
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: like I've been saying, they're special from the neck up

1454
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: as much as they are physical, you know players. Um,

1455
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 1: you gotta get your young players around guys like that. Um. So,

1456
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: if the if the cap was in the right spot,

1457
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: maybe the Bills are able to entice those But then again,

1458
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: those guys probably wouldn't be available anyway, you know so, Um,

1459
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: But the Steelers are in a tough cap situation. So

1460
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: it's not like they can compete to get him back,

1461
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: right Villain auava You might be able to get Richard

1462
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: Sherman maybe, And I don't know that Villain Auavea at

1463
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: his advanced age is starting material anymore anyway. So don't

1464
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: need him be the perfect guy to be or swing tackle. Yeah,

1465
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: don't need him to be. He can be. He can

1466
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: be uh tying a ski from last year just maybe

1467
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: exactly fifteen total snaps on the season. But when he's

1468
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: in there, you get stellar play. Um perfect, you know,

1469
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: villain a Wave would be perfect. A guy that has,

1470
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, the voice in the room. He's sitting in

1471
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: the back of the room and the offensive line room,

1472
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: but he's got a wealth of wisdom that saying hey, listened,

1473
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: wait a minute, think about this and this and this.

1474
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 1: So a wealth of experience and a wealth of leadership

1475
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: quality to get in their rooms. So yeah, guys like that.

1476
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: So if it was a normal cap year, no, if

1477
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: the Bills had cap space, had just happened to be

1478
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: one of those years with cap space, even in a

1479
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: down year like this, and they could shop freely, you

1480
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: might have seen a little bit defer. I don't think

1481
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: they would have you know gone off the rails, you know,

1482
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: gone off the rails? But yeah, maybe maybe from Nick

1483
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, I actually think the success of

1484
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl teams should alter our approach. So here's

1485
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: a guy in the forty percent. The Chiefs dominated our

1486
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 1: line with their front four, then the Bucks dominated the

1487
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs with their front four. Improving our D line is

1488
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: the answer for making it to the Super Bowl. The

1489
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: problem is on the free agent market. That usually cost

1490
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 1: you a boatload of money. If you're going to make

1491
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: demonstrative improvements, both a boatload of money and a boatload

1492
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: of draft picks, it's hard to It's hard to develop

1493
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: a defensive where you got four guys that can get

1494
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: home quick to the quarterback rushing only four. It's it's

1495
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: the magic elis. I've said it a ton of time.

1496
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 1: It's a magic elixir. You got four guys that can

1497
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: rush the passer and get there really fast. All your

1498
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: problems are solved. Your problems are absolutely solved. That's why

1499
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 1: so few teams were able to do it. And don't

1500
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: kid yourself. The reason the Bucks dominated the Chiefs was

1501
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs lost both their tackles. You don't come

1502
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: back from that against a team that's good enough to

1503
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 1: be in the Super Bowl, you're done so and Pat

1504
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes was and you know, Pat Mahomes as magic as

1505
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: he is, magical as he is, couldn't overcome what was

1506
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: that number they said, he scrambled for over two hundred

1507
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: and seventy something. You know, it's four hunds over four

1508
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: hundred yards scrambling around in the game. He ran like

1509
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: four or five hundred yards away from those guys trying

1510
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: to find a way. And you got pictures of him

1511
01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: laying he's two feet off the ground parallel to the

1512
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: ground side arm and one out of there, which should

1513
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown by the way, and he was nothing.

1514
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 1: And he's making thrills like that, and they're going boinking

1515
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 1: off the face mask of his receivers, and the guy's

1516
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,560
Speaker 1: unbelievable and and the you know, the health of his

1517
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, betrayed their entire cause. From Jack

1518
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,839
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, No, trust the process and continue

1519
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: to build around Alan, add weapons and protection, continue to

1520
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: cultivate depth so the team can truly have a next

1521
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: man up mentality. If guys leave get hurt. To sustain success,

1522
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: they do need to add some younger talent on D,

1523
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: but I believe that has always been their plan. Yeah,

1524
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in favor of the youth movement at Corner

1525
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: because you have veterans on this roster now, including Tarren

1526
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Johnson who's entering the last year of his contract, So yeah,

1527
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,799
Speaker 1: there has to be an influx of youth at Corner.

1528
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: The depth behind Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmonds is pretty

1529
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: young already. When you think about it, you know, you're

1530
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: thinking of your Tyrrell Dodson's um, your m Phillips, what's

1531
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 1: Phillips Delshani young players already, so I don't know that

1532
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: you need to get any younger there, but um D line,

1533
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: the youth is in aj Epanessa, At Oliver and Darryl Johnson.

1534
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips, I guess, is on his rookie contracts, so

1535
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: still young player. Everybody else is a little longer in

1536
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: the tooth. This will be the last year of Harrison

1537
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: Phillips contract, correct, Yes, and it's also the last year

1538
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: of Jerry Hughes contract, so there's that at work there.

1539
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: So I it's funny because you hear all of these

1540
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: bills fans saying no, don't alter your approach. But then

1541
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: they say, well, we gotta trust the problem. We gotta

1542
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: keep building around Alan, we gotta add these weapons for protection,

1543
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: got to cultivate the depth. It's like, well, that's more

1544
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: than they've done already. So are you altering your approach

1545
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: asking for all that? I don't think so. I don't

1546
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: think it's altering the approach. I think they just haven't

1547
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: been as successful as they wanted to be in that approach.

1548
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: They needed to hit. They needed at Oliver to play better,

1549
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: a japan As to play better and contribute more earlier

1550
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: in their careers. They needed Trent Murphy to be better

1551
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: on his contract, Vernon Butler, Mario Addison, and then losing

1552
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: Starlo tu Leley opting out, not being able to find

1553
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: a guy who could step in and dominate at a

1554
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: corner opposite Trdavious white In, Josh Norman or Kevin Johnson, EJ. Gaines.

1555
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: None of those guys could get it done. So say

1556
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: what you want. The plan has been good, and just

1557
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 1: like I say, the players need to play better on

1558
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: the day they play those good teams on the Chiefs

1559
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: in the championship game. You got to play your best

1560
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: that they did not. They also got to do better

1561
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: in picking the guys that are gonna develop either faster

1562
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 1: or better or at a higher level than guys they

1563
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 1: have or these guys have got to start doing it

1564
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,640
Speaker 1: a little better too. So it's, you know, the philosophy

1565
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 1: and the process stays the same, but everybody's got to

1566
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: do their job a little better, just the players, coaches, scouts, everybody.

1567
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 1: We'll take a break, come back with more on that,

1568
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: and don't forget. In about fifteen minutes, we'll be talking

1569
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 1: with former NFL Front office executive Scott Pioli about some

1570
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: of the dealings going on around the league and his

1571
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 1: take on some of the Bill's decisions in free agency.

1572
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 1: It's all coming up soon. Here on One Bills Live,

1573
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, One

1574
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, going right back to

1575
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: the phones. As we're asking you if the Bills should

1576
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 1: tweak their approach and building a Super Bowl team for

1577
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one based on their six from twenty twenty.

1578
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: We go to the phones and leading us off here

1579
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: is Zach and Buffalo Zach, what do you have for

1580
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: us here on One Bill's Life. Hey, guys, what's up?

1581
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 1: First off? Style thills, Mafia shut out, Maddie glab favorite

1582
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 1: part of the segment. But this is what I've gotten

1583
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:17,560
Speaker 1: for you, guys. I think right now our team is

1584
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: ready to go to the super Bowl. I think they've

1585
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: done an awesome, awesome job. I think Bean should repeat

1586
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 1: is as executive the year we got everything filled and

1587
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: what it sounds like to me is at the end

1588
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 1: of the first round, there's not a starter that's gonna

1589
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: be available for us. There's a big question marks about

1590
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: these corners and tackles. I mean, the offensive line is

1591
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 1: ready to go already, but what do you think the

1592
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 1: odds are of us packaging from picks going up in

1593
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: the draft. Either get a corner. I know Steve doesn't

1594
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 1: like running backs, but maybe Naja Harris or maybe even

1595
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Picks. I think one year the host of the

1596
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 1: Bengals that moved up to get j Greene or Atlanta

1597
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: that moved up to get Julio Jones, they kind of

1598
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: did like something crazy to get from the bottom to

1599
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 1: the time. I just want to know what you think

1600
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: about that, and what would Steve do with this team.

1601
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. Guys, all right, Zack, thank you.

1602
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: M Yeah, it's a lot in there, but yeah, I'll

1603
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 1: tell you this. You're not gonna have to move up

1604
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: in the draft at all to get either Naj Harris

1605
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 1: or at N from Clemson. You can get though either

1606
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 1: one of those guys. You might be able to get

1607
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: either one of those guys at sixty four. You don't

1608
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 1: have to move up in the draft to get one

1609
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:27,839
Speaker 1: of those guys. Nobody is take in my opinion, nobody's

1610
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: gonna take Naja Harris or Travis is at right, Travis,

1611
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Travis C Travis ETN in the first round. Neither one

1612
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 1: of those guys are like a say, Quon Barkley type

1613
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: of guy. And even say Quon Barkley, I don't know anyway,

1614
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: that's my point. I know you're not gonna moving up

1615
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,719
Speaker 1: to take that now. Positionally, You're right. I've heard draft

1616
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 1: people say that this draft goes about twenty deep to

1617
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:58,720
Speaker 1: get starters. I don't know that. I want to package

1618
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 1: all it would take to get up inside the top

1619
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: twenty to get a player at any position that would

1620
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 1: start for this team. You got to move up ten

1621
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: spots just to get to twenty this year right for

1622
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 1: the Bills. It's a long way, and you take it

1623
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 1: might cost you of four to five and six or

1624
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 1: two three and four. I wouldn't do it. It would

1625
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 1: take a lot to get up inside the top twenty

1626
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 1: of the NFL Draft, and I'm not ready to do that.

1627
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it would be, but it

1628
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 1: seems to me it would be a ton and I

1629
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,679
Speaker 1: don't want to don't pay that. You're right, the team

1630
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,879
Speaker 1: is very close, and what I would do is continue

1631
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: to sign guys. I'd try to. I would pick up

1632
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: the phone. I'd find out what Richard Sherman's asking, and

1633
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 1: I'd try to find out what Villaneuevea's asking, the tackle

1634
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh and guys like that. To fill out my

1635
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 1: roster before the draft, because if you could get one

1636
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,759
Speaker 1: of the if you get another offensive line of that caliber,

1637
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 1: you don't have to draft anybody at that spot, which

1638
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: is amazing compared to where we were three weeks ago.

1639
01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: And you may be able to take a corner in

1640
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: this draft. I've heard there are a lot of corners

1641
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 1: that are gonna be very good. We've been talking about

1642
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 1: a couple of them today. Yeah, I could see him

1643
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,639
Speaker 1: doing that and taking a corner who could be plugged

1644
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: in and play for this squad. That's about it. Other

1645
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:20,560
Speaker 1: than that, you know you're right. I'm with you. This

1646
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 1: team is very close. I think all they need to

1647
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 1: do is focus on themselves now and this roster and

1648
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:28,720
Speaker 1: getting them to play their best every week. Because if

1649
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 1: you do that, they're gonna win a ton of games.

1650
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 1: And they got a chance to get back to right

1651
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 1: where they were this last January, with a chance to

1652
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: go even for I don't see a monumental move up

1653
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: the board. It's gonna cost too much. I could see

1654
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: him move up from like thirty to twenty five, twenty

1655
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:46,040
Speaker 1: four if they feel somebody sliding that shouldn't be. But

1656
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 1: that giant move up the board like the Falcons did

1657
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: with Julio Jones going all the way up to number six,

1658
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's gonna take a lot, and

1659
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: I can't see what parting with that kind of position

1660
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 1: would cost. Well, Kyle Pitts is the best tight end

1661
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,000

1667
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

1668
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you. Stave of a lily,

1669
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strategyre of

1670
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:50,360
Speaker 1: normalcy here. It is our number three of One Bills Live.

Speaker 1: Chris Brown. Steve Tasker with you and joining us on

1672
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 1: the line right now. He's currently an NFL Network analyst,

1673
01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:00,759
Speaker 1: but was former personnel executive for the New England Patriots,

1674
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 1: former GM and the Chiefs. He has one Scott Pioli

1675
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,559
Speaker 1: joining us on the line to talk a little NFL

1676
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: free agency kind of comment on some of these bills

1677
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:13,799
Speaker 1: moves and in what is a crazy restrictive salary cap offseason.

1678
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 1: You're probably pretty happy, Scott, you didn't have to operate

1679
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 1: with the salary cap going down, although during the lockout,

1680
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 1: I believe you had to deal with that, right, Yeah,

1681
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: but we knew it was coming. We weren't surprised, like

1682
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 1: everyone is now that year that there was the player

1683
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: lockout and we knew the cap. Everyone knew what was

1684
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 1: about to happen, so you were able to prepare for it.

1685
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 1: This was one of those things. Yeah, I'm happy I'm

1686
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: not having to deal with it, not only the salary cap,

1687
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 1: with the COVID protocols and all of the there's so

1688
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 1: many difficult outside factors right now for people running clubs.

1689
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a handful right now. What was the hardest

1690
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 1: part about that last offseason? Do you think for these clubs?

1691
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Was it preparing for COVID vote protocols and getting these

1692
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 1: guys tested every day and actually getting physically in the building.

1693
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 1: Was it scouting a draft class so you'd never go

1694
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 1: to the you know, you couldn't go to the campuses.

1695
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: Or was it this last ball when a lot of

1696
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,680
Speaker 1: teams just did even play. I mean, what's been the

1697
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: most unbelievable adjustment, Steve? I you know, I think to me,

1698
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 1: the draft part was kind of easy, as silly as

1699
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 1: that may sound, because the bottom line was, Yeah, I'm

1700
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: a tape guy, right, I was always about the tape.

1701
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,639
Speaker 1: I love the idea of forties and heights and weights

1702
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 1: and speeds and short cone and I mean short shuttle

1703
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 1: and free cone. I love that. I respect it for

1704
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 1: what it is. But to me, watching that process was

1705
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: to me that I think was the least difficult. To me,

1706
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: I think the most difficult thing is just the day

1707
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 1: to day unknown. You know, talk with so many people

1708
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 1: with clubs. They were waking up so early every morning

1709
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: getting these morning calls. I mean, football's inn early morning

1710
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 1: business to begin with. But I think it was the

1711
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:55,520
Speaker 1: day to day unknown and the anxiety that it created,

1712
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: not only in the workplace, but the confluence of the

1713
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:02,160
Speaker 1: unknown of a workplace and the unknown for your family.

1714
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: To me, that had to be the most difficult part,

1715
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, in talking with people and trying to put

1716
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: myself in their shoes. As you know, there's nothing we

1717
01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:18,640
Speaker 1: hate more in any business when your leader is surprises.

1718
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: So Scott, you know, you look at the bills and

1719
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:24,759
Speaker 1: they chose to take the approach to a large degree

1720
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: of just resigning their own And I thought it was

1721
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: rather interesting that the biggest contracts in terms of length

1722
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: were handed to their own players as well. Milano gets

1723
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 1: a four year deal, Daryl Williams gets a three year deal,

1724
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: and John Feliciano gets a three year deal. Do you

1725
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: take that as an indication of this front office saying

1726
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,679
Speaker 1: we can win with the guys that we have. We're

1727
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 1: good enough to get back to where we were last year.

1728
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 1: We only need to make minor tweaks to this roster.

1729
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: I love they did because to me, it's I don't

1730
01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 1: see that as a form of arrogance at all. I

1731
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 1: think sometimes people on the outside will look at teams

1732
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,600
Speaker 1: that do that and say, oh, they think they got

1733
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 1: it all figured out. No, the bills are a developmental program.

1734
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 1: They bring people in and they develop and when you

1735
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 1: get good players that you see that are ascending, that

1736
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: can play in your system and play in your culture. Right,

1737
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:21,240
Speaker 1: not every player fits every single culture. Very often the

1738
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 1: mistakes that are made in free agency is when players

1739
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 1: play well in one place, they come into another system

1740
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 1: and the system is different, but so is the culture,

1741
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,720
Speaker 1: so the players don't always react the same way. That's

1742
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:35,679
Speaker 1: not the player's fault, it's not the team's fault. It's

1743
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,360
Speaker 1: just not the right mench And I am a big

1744
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: believer that signing your own players is the most important

1745
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 1: part of free agency. I know, how you know in

1746
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 1: the outside world of public and fans and the media

1747
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 1: want to see this big splash. Oh go sign this

1748
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 1: guy from over there. I'm not a believer in having

1749
01:36:56,439 --> 01:37:00,560
Speaker 1: to do that unless you have to do that. And

1750
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 1: to me, when you have good players that have played

1751
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:05,640
Speaker 1: well in your system and they deserve to be rewarded,

1752
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, I again long and did way you say,

1753
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 1: I love what they did. They have good football players

1754
01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: that they're developing. They did some very very smart business. Again,

1755
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:17,759
Speaker 1: the other part that will say is no one should

1756
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: know your players better than you. And if you know

1757
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:24,560
Speaker 1: your players well, you will make far less mistakes in

1758
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:26,720
Speaker 1: free agent signs and spending your money to be a

1759
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 1: good football And in the current day and age of

1760
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, you know there's going to be a certain

1761
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: number of your players every year that you have to

1762
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:35,560
Speaker 1: sign off the free agent wire. Well, how do you

1763
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 1: scout a pro player differently than a college player? Well,

1764
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 1: I think you get to see them in the real

1765
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: NFL environment. Again, my background, even though I did some

1766
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: college scouting, but my primary space was you know, watching

1767
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 1: guys like you, Steve, and you wore me out when

1768
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,080
Speaker 1: I was working with teams that we had to play

1769
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 1: to play. You know, I was a pro personnel guy,

1770
01:37:57,400 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: So to me, the biggest difference is you're seeing them

1771
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 1: in an environment that you know what their performance level is.

1772
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: You're seeing them play against teams that you know. So

1773
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: not only do you are you able to evaluate the

1774
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: player that you're you know that you are evaluating, but

1775
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 1: you know exactly what in who the competition is that

1776
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 1: they're facing to make that judgment based on their ability

1777
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: the best. So to me, there's so many more knowns.

1778
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,640
Speaker 1: I think you also end up in a situation when

1779
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: you're dealing with free agent players. You have players that

1780
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: are outside of that college environment and some of the

1781
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 1: behavioral stuff, and if there's behavioral stuff that you have

1782
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,679
Speaker 1: to pay attention to, it's usually very much out there

1783
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 1: in the thirty two NFL cities or you know this well,

1784
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: I guess LA accounts is one and your accounts is one.

1785
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: But there's there's information that's out there that's much easier

1786
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: to find. Talking to NFL Network analyst Scott Pioli and

1787
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:54,600
Speaker 1: in that vein, Scott, I know you said that you know,

1788
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:59,120
Speaker 1: scouting college players really isn't that much more difficult amidst

1789
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 1: this pandemic, But I kind of hearken back to a

1790
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 1: comment that I remember former Bills GM buddy Nick saying,

1791
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 1: and granted he's an old school scout who did in

1792
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: an old school way, but he said, I like to

1793
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:12,240
Speaker 1: be able to smell the guy's breath. He wants the

1794
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 1: face to face interaction to really get a feel for

1795
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: who the person is, not just who the player is.

1796
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: So that's been somewhat compromised. I know there was access

1797
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl, you know, when guys are going

1798
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: to pro days to get some face to face time,

1799
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: But what about that aspect of it? Because the Bills

1800
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 1: are very stringent on making sure the player has what

1801
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: they call their bills DNA the guy that they know

1802
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 1: what they're going to get out of him in week

1803
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 1: seventeen on a Thursday practice as they will on the

1804
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: first day of training camp. How do you find that

1805
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 1: and get enough of that information in an atmosphere that

1806
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 1: they're dealing with now, Well, first of all, I want

1807
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: to say his buddy Nicks with one eck of the

1808
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,760
Speaker 1: scout and I understand exactly said what he was saying

1809
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,839
Speaker 1: when he said that some of the scouts and directed

1810
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 1: and personal evaluators that came out of Buffalo through those

1811
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:05,600
Speaker 1: many years under Bill Poli and I mean there's what

1812
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:10,880
Speaker 1: a tremendous group of NFL evaluators. I am a firm

1813
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 1: believer in that whole idea of being able to see

1814
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 1: them on campus, be in person, to get a feel

1815
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 1: for their personality more than just that fifteen minute interview

1816
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: that you know, even at the combine in times when

1817
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: we're not in a pandemic, sometimes you can be fooled, right.

1818
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 1: You want to see people's body language. You want to

1819
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: see because this game is a chemistry experiment and the

1820
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 1: interdependent relationships and how people mesh together and how they

1821
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: don't mesh together is a critical part, and you need

1822
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: to see human behavior in order to do that. I

1823
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,639
Speaker 1: think it is tough doing that this year. That's why

1824
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:48,240
Speaker 1: I think the teens that either have coaches, for instance,

1825
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:51,479
Speaker 1: you know Matt Ruelle, who has been in college and

1826
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: been around a lot of these guys, recruited some of

1827
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 1: these guys. He has some backgrounding for on guys like

1828
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 1: urban Meyer and his connections in the college game are

1829
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 1: really going to It's going to help those individuals. But

1830
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:04,679
Speaker 1: to me, the teams that will have the greatest success

1831
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 1: in terms of getting the right and you call Bill's

1832
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: DNA guide to me, I've always referred to it as

1833
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: makeup right, the individual's makeup and who they are and

1834
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 1: what they are. And getting the makeup right is going

1835
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:16,640
Speaker 1: to be difficult this year. But if you have a

1836
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 1: good scouting staff and a good coaching staff that have

1837
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 1: relationships that they can really trust the truth and know

1838
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to get the truth, that's going to

1839
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 1: be a key component in circumstances. Just like this, Scott,

1840
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 1: last question I've got for you. We've just heard that

1841
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 1: the NFL is setting out, you know, more relaxed protocols

1842
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 1: for draft. It looks like teams are going to have

1843
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 1: war rooms again this year, where they were all spread

1844
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 1: out all over creation last year for the draft is

1845
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 1: going to be more in house. What was what has

1846
01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 1: been your experience with the different organizations you have worked with,

1847
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,639
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, the Kansa City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons. How

1848
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 1: did those war rooms vary in your experience? And what

1849
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 1: do you feel is the most important, like as to

1850
01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:00,560
Speaker 1: who has a voice and who when that guy we

1851
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:02,639
Speaker 1: hear the guy jump up on the table for a guy,

1852
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: how does that work? Yeah, you know, so most of

1853
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 1: my football life was spent in very controlled environments and draftings,

1854
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, with the Browns under Belichick, and then I

1855
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 1: had a year in Baltimore where Ozzie ran that year

1856
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: with coach march Broda, and then with Parcels, and then

1857
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:24,480
Speaker 1: Bill and I being together all those years at the Patriots,

1858
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: and then had my own and then you know, the

1859
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 1: Fountains was probably the one that was a little bit different.

1860
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:34,320
Speaker 1: There were far more people in there the under the

1861
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 1: in the model that I was used to and spent

1862
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 1: most of my time in. The thought was always that

1863
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:44,600
Speaker 1: less was more, not less opinions, but less people in

1864
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: that roomb because there were fewer distractions and you had

1865
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 1: the ability to focus, which is why I think as

1866
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 1: a team we spent so much time always on top

1867
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 1: of trades, trading up, trading back, always looking for moments,

1868
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 1: because there were no distractions, There were no conversations other

1869
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:06,479
Speaker 1: than straight business. The Falcons drafting was a little bit

1870
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 1: different where they had more people in there, But I

1871
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 1: don't think that that was necessarily a Falcons thing as

1872
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 1: much as it has become an evolution of what the

1873
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: game is and the entertainment component that seems so important

1874
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: to owners across the league, and so to me, I

1875
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 1: was always you know, I'm not a smart guy, so

1876
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:29,600
Speaker 1: I need fewer distractions. And I and the people that

1877
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 1: I worked with, even the smart people, we all worked

1878
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 1: much better with fewer distractions. The jumping up on the

1879
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: table for players needed to happen the weeks before, because

1880
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:42,840
Speaker 1: the evaluation process and the opinions should be done well

1881
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 1: before the draft. When draft base starts, it's all about

1882
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:50,440
Speaker 1: strategy and picking players. If you're having conversations about evaluations

1883
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,680
Speaker 1: on draftway as you're geting ready to make a pick,

1884
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 1: you might mean a little bit of trouble. Guys, all right,

1885
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 1: Scott has always thanks for the insight. We appreciate it.

1886
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:00,040
Speaker 1: We know your time as shure. We're gonna let you

1887
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 1: go here. Look forward to talking to you sometime before

1888
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 1: the draft. Again, take care of you. Thank you, guys,

1889
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,799
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. All right. That's NFL Network analyst Scott Pioli,

1890
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: former front office executive for three or four clubs, And yeah,

1891
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 1: he is right, one hundred percent. If you're going to

1892
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 1: jump up on a table for it, it's too late. Yeah,

1893
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:18,640
Speaker 1: you're you're doing that in December, at the end of

1894
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,240
Speaker 1: the fall scouting season, and if you're still adamant about

1895
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 1: somebody that you don't think is getting great a high enough,

1896
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: you do it at the end of February after you

1897
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: come back from the combine, and that's about it. You're

1898
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 1: throwing chances are over after that. Yeah, And it's and

1899
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense. You got to have

1900
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: that stuff all planned out. And and he's right it

1901
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: the draft, you've seen it. How complicated must it be

1902
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: where there's thirty two voices in the conversation, meaning thirty

1903
01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 1: two gms, thirty two presidents, what what have you? Whoever

1904
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 1: it's speaking for the team that a GM's got a call. Yeah,

1905
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 1: how difficult it must be to sort through all the

1906
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:54,600
Speaker 1: permutations of what could possibly happen, particularly when the unpredictability

1907
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: happens after you get out at first ten picks right,

1908
01:44:57,760 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: and even sometimes into the first ten picks about the

1909
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 1: and predictability about who's gonna trade who, and then to

1910
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 1: be nimble enough mentally and organizationally to say, hey, this

1911
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: scenario has happening. We've got an opportunity now to jump up,

1912
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: jump back or offering, make this offer, take that offer

1913
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 1: or call them up. They remember they offered us this

1914
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, let's call them back. Is that's still

1915
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 1: on the you know that kind of thing, huge amount

1916
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:27,839
Speaker 1: of moving parts that you gotta keep track of. I've

1917
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:30,120
Speaker 1: had the privilege of being in the Bill's draft room

1918
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 1: a handful of times over the years, and I think

1919
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 1: people would be surprised at how calm, cool and collected

1920
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: it is in there, because all the hay is in

1921
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,600
Speaker 1: the barn, right, and it's just a matter of executing,

1922
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 1: as Scott said, your strategy. The only time it gets

1923
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 1: busy is after the draft is over and you're scrambling

1924
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:52,679
Speaker 1: to get the undrafted guys. That is like Wall Street

1925
01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 1: and the stock market floor. Like it's guys like on

1926
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 1: this phone handing a phone to a coach to convince

1927
01:45:57,520 --> 01:46:00,280
Speaker 1: this undrafted guy to sign with you, and like can

1928
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: we give him more opponent's money? Can we not? Like

1929
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,600
Speaker 1: it is Keystone Cops. When you get to the undrafted

1930
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:07,800
Speaker 1: portion of the draft, and that's the most exciting thing

1931
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 1: that happened in the room over that three days. I

1932
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: did not experience that as a player. I was drafted

1933
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 1: late in the in the draft in like in the

1934
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 1: ninth round, two hundred and twenty six out of like

1935
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, two hundred and fifty plus that are drafted.

1936
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 1: I was two twenty six overall, so I didn't go

1937
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:22,640
Speaker 1: through that. My son did. Yeah, where there was a

1938
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:25,800
Speaker 1: chance you get drafted, like just like me, get drafted late,

1939
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 1: or we're gonna call you about signing as a free agent.

1940
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,680
Speaker 1: His phone was, and his agent his phone, and you know,

1941
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:35,680
Speaker 1: it was it was pretty hectic for about an hour

1942
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: right after the tactic on the other end in the

1943
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 1: team rooms too, and it happened within an hour after

1944
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 1: the draft was over, within an hour, so it was

1945
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty you could just get the field that it

1946
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:51,400
Speaker 1: was like that from our end, let alone the club's end. Yeah,

1947
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: you're one player in one house, right in in a

1948
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: team draft, one position in a team draft room. There

1949
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:00,920
Speaker 1: are guys that are paired off and teamed up like

1950
01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: this coach, go with this scout, this coach, you go

1951
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 1: with this scout. You work tight ends, you work this

1952
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And they have it up

1953
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:09,479
Speaker 1: on the board because after the draft they know, okay,

1954
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 1: we still need three tight ends, three oh linemen, two corners,

1955
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,960
Speaker 1: a safety you know, and a punter and as they

1956
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: get it all right, we got this guy. Oh, knock

1957
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:20,680
Speaker 1: that list down. We only need two corners now, Like

1958
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's going. It's so fluid, it would blow

1959
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 1: your mind. It's amazing. And and I'll tell you it.

1960
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:30,800
Speaker 1: If you're that, if you're good enough physically and all that,

1961
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 1: it's almost better. And sometimes not to get drafted that late,

1962
01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 1: but to go as a free agent, because then you

1963
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 1: can when you get two calls or three calls, you

1964
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:43,720
Speaker 1: can say no, no, no, that team would be better

1965
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 1: for me, much better for me, either for personal reasons,

1966
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: sometimes reasons. Sometimes an agent will try to play one

1967
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 1: against another to get a little more bonus money for

1968
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: his guy who didn't go get drafted, and he's all upset,

1969
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 1: you know. And sometimes that's a dangerous game to play too. Yeah,

1970
01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: but you're also the players with the players got to

1971
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: who's on the ball enough, are willing enough to have

1972
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: an agent. That agent's usually smart enough to prepare him

1973
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: for that. Listen, you may not go, ye, you gotta

1974
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 1: be ready for that. And here's what our plan is

1975
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 1: going to be. And the smart agent puts him in

1976
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 1: a situation where he's got the best chance to make

1977
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 1: a roster. That's right. Don't go where our best bonus

1978
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 1: money is either. It's exactly. We want to get back

1979
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: to the phones. As we're talking about whether the success

1980
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:20,759
Speaker 1: of the Bills in twenty twenty should alter their approach

1981
01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: even ever so slightly to build a super Bowl team

1982
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,599
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty one, got some people waiting patiently,

1983
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:27,760
Speaker 1: so we want to get to them. We go to

1984
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:29,920
Speaker 1: Jesse in Buffalo. Jesse, what do you have for us?

1985
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hello, Jesse, I'm gonna put Jesse.

1986
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:38,720
Speaker 1: Did hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. What do

1987
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 1: you got for us? Hey? How you guys going? Hey? Um,

1988
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 1: there's two things I've been bothering me for a while.

1989
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:47,640
Speaker 1: So Brandon Bean and Saw McDermott has a commiment a

1990
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 1: few weeks ago that U spoken too, McDermott saying, you know,

1991
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: there was a speed difference between us and the Chiefs,

1992
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 1: and then Brandon being also added that we're looking for

1993
01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 1: an eleap tight end. Now we didn't get that in

1994
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:05,240
Speaker 1: the free agency, and the team right now was a

1995
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: built to take a risk. And I know you guys

1996
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 1: don't really agree with moving up in their draft and

1997
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 1: with Kyle Pitts if he if he was to slide

1998
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:15,680
Speaker 1: back just enough, and we all know Brandon Bean likes

1999
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:19,160
Speaker 1: to move up as far other than moving back, do

2000
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 1: you think him move up with to six be playing

2001
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 1: six and ten? So uh go for Kyle Pitts, I

2002
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 1: think that's too much. You'd be you'd almost trade your

2003
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 1: last five picks to get up there, and maybe you

2004
01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 1: may have to trade a future one to get up

2005
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 1: that high right from thirty. I mean, if you're sitting

2006
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 1: at fifteen, that's one thing, Jesse, but you're at thirty.

2007
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: You got a long way to go to get up there.

2008
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you right now, Kyle Pitts is I'll

2009
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: be the only thing that's gonna knock him out of

2010
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 1: the top five or if the top four teams take quarterbacks,

2011
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: that's the only I mean, he is that special, um,

2012
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 1: and believe me, I'd love to have him on this

2013
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 1: Bill's roster. But man, that is a long way to

2014
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 1: go to get that kid. And I and I think

2015
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be special, Say well, why not take a swing?

2016
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: But man, you gotta do a lot. You gotta do

2017
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot to get up there. Yeah. The only Yeah,

2018
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: The only way that happens is if something happens like

2019
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:12,120
Speaker 1: he is in a car wreck and got a busted

2020
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:15,640
Speaker 1: leg and everybody backs off him. Yeah, and then you

2021
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 1: grab him in six weeks later, he's one hundred percent.

2022
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:20,719
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I mean, that's not gonna

2023
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:25,479
Speaker 1: you can't you I'm not saying you can't. To jump

2024
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:30,200
Speaker 1: up inside the top ten from the thirtieth pick takes

2025
01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:33,519
Speaker 1: a lot more than just switching ones and giving him

2026
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 1: a two. It would be like your this year's one,

2027
01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:39,640
Speaker 1: next year's one, this year's two, next year's two, kind

2028
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: of I mean, just to give you an idea in

2029
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: terms of draft capital, pick five as an old school

2030
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 1: draft value of seventeen hundred and the Bills pick at

2031
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:54,800
Speaker 1: thirty as a value of six twenty. So you need

2032
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,639
Speaker 1: like the equivalent of three of Buffalo's picks at thirty

2033
01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: to get up there. So essentially would have to give

2034
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 1: up your whole draft this year and probably something next

2035
01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: year to get from thirty to five. And that's where

2036
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:09,519
Speaker 1: I think you have to be in a safe range

2037
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:13,479
Speaker 1: to get pits. Quite frankly, so look, I want to

2038
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:17,600
Speaker 1: know now I should tell you that you may have

2039
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:20,840
Speaker 1: misquoted Brandon being a little bit. He didn't say I

2040
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 1: want an elite tight end. He said, we want to

2041
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 1: take a look at the tight end position because it

2042
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:29,040
Speaker 1: had an up and down year last year. Now that's

2043
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: not to say he wouldn't take Kyle Pitts. He'd take

2044
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 1: him in the blink of an eye because he's that good.

2045
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 1: But man, you got to do a lot to get

2046
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:37,559
Speaker 1: up there. You'd have to get you'd have to give

2047
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:42,720
Speaker 1: up two ones plus plus maybe a starter on your roster, yeah,

2048
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 1: or two ones and maybe yeah and a four, two

2049
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: ones and a four to do it. It's a long

2050
01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:56,640
Speaker 1: way to go. Yeah, it's a very long way to go.

2051
01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:59,320
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones. We go to Tom

2052
01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 1: in lack of want to Tom, what do you have

2053
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's Live, Steve Yes, Steep

2054
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:11,160
Speaker 1: drafting away would be an exact same stratosphere at drafting

2055
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Maybn we ever had. Yeah, I know, Tom, I

2056
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: share your concern. You are echoing the conversation we had

2057
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:23,680
Speaker 1: right after we got off that that segment, that yeah,

2058
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:26,240
Speaker 1: that O way talk. So yeah, I get you go ahead.

2059
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:29,960
Speaker 1: You know to me Maybn was you know the guy

2060
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:33,720
Speaker 1: only played one year, Ye got no sacks. Okay, he

2061
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 1: can run faster than the Flash, but so could Maybn

2062
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:41,960
Speaker 1: except he couldn't do anything else. Yeah, I can see

2063
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:44,640
Speaker 1: wasting the thirtieth pick. That just doesn't make sense with

2064
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 1: building forward they need to get, you know. And plus

2065
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 1: McDermott and being like guys who played three four years

2066
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:55,200
Speaker 1: not one year. Ye. So and that promo with Steve

2067
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:58,479
Speaker 1: Steve that's got a goal game every start of the hour.

2068
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 1: That gets annoying. All right, we'll take it under We'll

2069
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:05,720
Speaker 1: try and come up with another robe. We'll get our

2070
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: cracks that I don't mind updating that. I'm tired of

2071
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 1: talking about a blimp. I'll admit it, all right, Um,

2072
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, but yeah, Tom, appreciate you hearing that

2073
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 1: every hour. I understand why Tom had He shares some

2074
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 1: of the same scars that I do. Because the Bills

2075
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, what was it, the eleventh pick?

2076
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:29,439
Speaker 1: I believe, Um, they chose Aaron Maybon from Penn State,

2077
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: who was a red shirt sophomore who only was a

2078
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 1: one year starter and didn't have a large body of work.

2079
01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 1: Now here's Jason Oway, red shirt sophomore plays the same

2080
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:43,919
Speaker 1: position one year starter doesn't have a large body of production.

2081
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:48,160
Speaker 1: No sacks this year. Um, picking at thirties different than

2082
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:52,320
Speaker 1: picking at eleven. And I will say this, Aaron Mayban's

2083
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:55,679
Speaker 1: forty time was four seven eight, It wasn't four three nine.

2084
01:53:57,760 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 1: A little bit of a difference. There is a difference there.

2085
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:02,000
Speaker 1: And Aaron Mayben didn't wig two hundred and sixty pounds.

2086
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 1: You weighed like two fifteen to twenty. You look back

2087
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:10,360
Speaker 1: on it, it's easy to say that. But oh my god,

2088
01:54:10,439 --> 01:54:13,640
Speaker 1: what were they thinking? You know, picked Eric would at

2089
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight? Guy was a ten year player for them.

2090
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:18,920
Speaker 1: And there you know, the MSG watchers are looking at

2091
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: Jason Oway running his forty right, he is all over

2092
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:24,679
Speaker 1: the place, he is. He's like running like he's fighting

2093
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:29,719
Speaker 1: it right and still ran four three nine. Dear lord,

2094
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 1: the guys, how tall is he? He's six five, two

2095
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:37,880
Speaker 1: fifty eight. That's no Aaron Mabon right there, that's not

2096
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 1: even fair. Yeah, but I get it, you got it.

2097
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:43,920
Speaker 1: You got a long way to go before you can

2098
01:54:43,960 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 1: convince people you can play football inside an athletic body.

2099
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 1: He's only played football for six years, so he's young

2100
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 1: total young in the game, and the knock on him

2101
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 1: as the instincts aren't there because he hasn't seen it enough. Right, So, yeah,

2102
01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:02,600
Speaker 1: he didn't start growing up as a kid and playing football,

2103
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:06,879
Speaker 1: you know, he's he just started playing organized football twenty sixteen. Yeah, normally,

2104
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean physically gifted in a in a very rare sense.

2105
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 1: He is physically gifted. But I don't know if that

2106
01:55:14,480 --> 01:55:16,920
Speaker 1: guy's helping you in year one, maybe not even in

2107
01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 1: year two at this you know, making another jump to

2108
01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 1: this level. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that's the thing.

2109
01:55:23,080 --> 01:55:27,760
Speaker 1: Maybe he's Yeah, spent it positive or negative? You really

2110
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 1: have to trust your player development. You have to trust it.

2111
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:32,720
Speaker 1: And if you spend it ultimately positive, he comes in,

2112
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:36,200
Speaker 1: takes off and he's great from year once. He grasped

2113
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:37,960
Speaker 1: it quick and you give it you know, great coaching,

2114
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: and he does it quick. The worst case scenario is

2115
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 1: he's out of the league in a year. Right, So

2116
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:44,880
Speaker 1: like the air and MAYBN syndrome, which you know, okay,

2117
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:49,160
Speaker 1: that's it's usually someplace in between those, right. But even so,

2118
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 1: if he comes out and he's and he's good, turns

2119
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:53,440
Speaker 1: into a really good maybe even a guy who can

2120
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 1: get double digit sacks. But it takes him three years

2121
01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: to get there, and you finally get to that end

2122
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,640
Speaker 1: of it where you got a four year deal on

2123
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:03,120
Speaker 1: a on a guy and picked thirtieth overall his four

2124
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 1: year deal. In the fourth year he finally does a

2125
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 1: little something. Well, then what do you do? You know,

2126
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 1: he's got one year where he's pretty good and we're

2127
01:56:11,120 --> 01:56:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna pay a lot of money this guy, you know

2128
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. So then you're into this no man's

2129
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:18,960
Speaker 1: land word, what are you gonna do with this guy? Now?

2130
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 1: He's old or you know, he's in his should be

2131
01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 1: entering his prime. He's had one good year. Yeah, so

2132
01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:29,320
Speaker 1: it's tough, and that's you'd be the same spot again.

2133
01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:32,440
Speaker 1: That's the uncertainty of the draft for sure. I think

2134
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 1: we had Chuck and Hamburg next, but we lost him

2135
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 1: on the line here. I'm sorry for about that. I

2136
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:38,720
Speaker 1: don't think I did anything wrong there. But Chuck, if

2137
01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 1: you want to ring us back, we'll be happy to

2138
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 1: get you on. We know you were holding for a

2139
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 1: while there. Be happy to talk to you. But yeah,

2140
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's tempting a lot of people get

2141
01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: lured into that trap of rare physical traits. But man,

2142
01:56:57,040 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 1: you better believe in your player development. If you're gonna

2143
01:56:59,320 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 1: take a guy that looks like he's going to need

2144
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 1: time on the job, needs some seasoning, some refinement to

2145
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 1: his game, you gotta trust that your coaching staff can

2146
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,680
Speaker 1: develop that player into somebody's special if you're going to

2147
01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:17,680
Speaker 1: make an investment like that in round one, for sure,

2148
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 1: right I think at third now, here's the thing at

2149
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 1: thirty you think the guys should be able to develop

2150
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 1: into a starter at thirtieth overall, and then you can

2151
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 1: take what you want after that. You know, same thing

2152
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:35,440
Speaker 1: with the second round or third round and all that

2153
01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 1: you should those guys should be able to develop now

2154
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:41,720
Speaker 1: because of the inaccuracy of the evaluation process and how

2155
01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:44,360
Speaker 1: each guy's differently, and guys thrive in your system, and

2156
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:46,080
Speaker 1: guys don't thrive in your system. You get a guy

2157
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 1: like Matt Milano who shows up as a fifth round

2158
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 1: draft pick and plays at an elite level, you know,

2159
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:55,440
Speaker 1: high level Pro Bowl level when he's healthy. That happens

2160
01:57:55,480 --> 01:58:00,320
Speaker 1: as well. The idea also is this, and and I'm

2161
01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:02,360
Speaker 1: not going to shy away from this. I think this

2162
01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 1: organization right now, in this current state, with Sean McDermott

2163
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:10,240
Speaker 1: and his staff. You get a lot more Matt Milanos

2164
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:13,200
Speaker 1: than you do Aaron Mayben's. Yes, you get guys that

2165
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 1: show up and get better and better and better and

2166
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:21,400
Speaker 1: who thrive than you did with you know in years past,

2167
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 1: in the organization. This is an organization that gets the

2168
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 1: most out of its guys. So if it's in there

2169
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,280
Speaker 1: to gay, you gotta feel like your guys are gonna

2170
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: get it. McDermott and his crew is gonna get it.

2171
01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 1: Break time for us. But when Steve and I come back,

2172
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:33,920
Speaker 1: we'll wrap up your thoughts on the tweet sheet and

2173
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,640
Speaker 1: get to a little NFL true false coming up next

2174
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health,

2175
01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:56,040
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

2176
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on a Thursday

2177
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:06,360
Speaker 1: winning Um. I just looked over at you again. I'm

2178
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:08,120
Speaker 1: like son of a gum. We do have the same shirts,

2179
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:10,640
Speaker 1: exact same shirt because usually we got the same shirt

2180
01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:12,640
Speaker 1: and one will have the charging Buffalo and one will

2181
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:16,040
Speaker 1: have the OBL signal. Ye single, and we've done it.

2182
01:59:16,200 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 1: You know we almost got what did we get here?

2183
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: That's like uh tamrat Remember the Samony januar Ferry. Right,

2184
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 1: we got like through seven months without we're in the

2185
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:26,440
Speaker 1: same shirt to work. That's a pretty good run. That's

2186
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good run. That's a pretty good run. But

2187
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: still right, I get you. Yeah. So here we go

2188
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet on should the success and

2189
01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:37,880
Speaker 1: the Bills in twenty twenty all to their approach of

2190
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:41,040
Speaker 1: building a Super Bowl team in twenty twenty one, and

2191
01:59:41,680 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 1: we were up to JT who says, no, ride the

2192
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:50,120
Speaker 1: wave and continue the process, do everything you need to

2193
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:52,240
Speaker 1: get over that hump and win that Lombardi Trophy all

2194
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:54,640
Speaker 1: in mentality in twenty twenty one, Josh is a dog.

2195
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:56,600
Speaker 1: You can get this team to the Big One for

2196
01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 1: the first time since ninety four. We have an all

2197
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 1: around great roster. We can do this. See now, this

2198
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:04,520
Speaker 1: is a little contradictory from JT. No offense to JT,

2199
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:07,320
Speaker 1: who is a frequent contributor to the tweet sheet here

2200
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, but I feel like some of

2201
02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:13,040
Speaker 1: what he's saying could be construed as taking the other

2202
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: side because he says, do everything you need to get

2203
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 1: over the hump and win the Lombardi all in mentality

2204
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:23,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, well, that would alter the strategy,

2205
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't it if you take that approach a little bit?

2206
02:00:29,200 --> 02:00:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then in the same breath he says,

2207
02:00:31,360 --> 02:00:34,880
Speaker 1: we have an all around great roster, don't change anything, right,

2208
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 1: But there's a part of me that feels like, and

2209
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 1: again no offense to JT, but I feel like he's

2210
02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 1: kind of picking both sides. Yeah, we have an all

2211
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 1: around great roster. We can do. We have an all

2212
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 1: around great roster. We know. I think he's saying all

2213
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:49,040
Speaker 1: in with these guys. Yeah, maybe that's what he's say.

2214
02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 1: You're right, you do. There is an enormous temptation to

2215
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:58,360
Speaker 1: sign that one last guy. You know, well, look at

2216
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 1: what Tampa did last year and it worked. Yeah, but

2217
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:02,440
Speaker 1: that was more than one last guy. I mean it

2218
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:05,440
Speaker 1: was three last guys. Yeah right, it was like four

2219
02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 1: net Antonio Brown, Yeah, and who else they signed up.

2220
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean that was after the season started. Yeah, that

2221
02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:13,760
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady. Yeah, that helped yea. And once they

2222
02:01:13,800 --> 02:01:15,800
Speaker 1: signed Brady, then all these other guys started jumping on

2223
02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:19,960
Speaker 1: board too. Um, it's interesting the Bills did it that,

2224
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:23,760
Speaker 1: you know with McDermott. These guys are jumping back on board.

2225
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:25,400
Speaker 1: They don't want to leave the ship. Yeah, you know

2226
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:28,280
Speaker 1: they want to stay here. But in Spain wanted to

2227
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:31,480
Speaker 1: stay last year, and to his credit, Sean mcdermots that

2228
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:33,200
Speaker 1: you can stay, but you got to tow the line.

2229
02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:35,840
Speaker 1: He did not, they got and he's gone. All you know,

2230
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:38,440
Speaker 1: they've got guys wanting to sign here and stay here

2231
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 1: because of the atmosphere that they work and live in.

2232
02:01:41,440 --> 02:01:46,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, Sean mcdermot's a head coach and

2233
02:01:46,320 --> 02:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's a quarterback. But functionally what they're doing is

2234
02:01:50,080 --> 02:01:53,640
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. Same they're they're an attract

2235
02:01:53,880 --> 02:01:55,880
Speaker 1: they're an attractive option for guys out there on the

2236
02:01:55,920 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: street to come in and be their best. Um. So yeah,

2237
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:05,440
Speaker 1: there is no one guy out there. Despite what happened

2238
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:07,720
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady last year, we all know that that

2239
02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:10,400
Speaker 1: is going to change the face of your franchise all

2240
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:13,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like that Brady. It looks like Brady,

2241
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:16,560
Speaker 1: But it was Brady and Gronk and Antonio Brown and

2242
02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: it was all those guys who jumped on board when

2243
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 1: he did Fournette. So yeah, there is no magic elixer

2244
02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:26,840
Speaker 1: out there except getting great players who want to be

2245
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 1: better and who want to play for each other. That's

2246
02:02:30,080 --> 02:02:33,240
Speaker 1: the elixir that that fixes everything for an entire team.

2247
02:02:34,120 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing here in Buffalo, So there's no

2248
02:02:35,800 --> 02:02:39,640
Speaker 1: need to change, which goes along the lines of Dinah's comment,

2249
02:02:39,760 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 1: which is the success of twenty twenty says we should

2250
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:45,160
Speaker 1: stick with that approach. No, we didn't get all the way,

2251
02:02:45,240 --> 02:02:48,920
Speaker 1: but a few small changes will make enough difference. And

2252
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the approach that we've witnessed here to

2253
02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 1: a large degree. You've got the main impetus of the

2254
02:02:54,800 --> 02:02:57,920
Speaker 1: offseason was to bring their important players back in the fold,

2255
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:00,440
Speaker 1: and then you make a few small weeks to the

2256
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:05,400
Speaker 1: roster Emmanuel Sanders, Jacob Hollister, right, you know, and then

2257
02:03:05,560 --> 02:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and then a draft class and hopefully, you know, you

2258
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:10,840
Speaker 1: get one or two, maybe, if you're lucky, three guys

2259
02:03:11,480 --> 02:03:15,000
Speaker 1: that can factor into making contributions at some point this season. Yeah,

2260
02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:18,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's the view we've espoused since the beginning.

2261
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:22,000
Speaker 1: And I've said it over and over that you everybody

2262
02:03:22,360 --> 02:03:24,280
Speaker 1: after the season, it's a little bit reactionary, and I

2263
02:03:24,400 --> 02:03:26,040
Speaker 1: get it. All of us felt that way that, man,

2264
02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:28,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are a team that's really tough to beat,

2265
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:30,080
Speaker 1: and that's the team we got to get past everybody else,

2266
02:03:30,120 --> 02:03:35,520
Speaker 1: and we went We went fifteen and two against the

2267
02:03:35,680 --> 02:03:38,840
Speaker 1: entire NFL, went oh and two against Kansas City. And

2268
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 1: one of the losses we had was on a Tuesday

2269
02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: when we thought we were playing somebody else, and the

2270
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 1: other one was on a Hail Mary, so we were

2271
02:03:45,640 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 1: we were beating a stew out of every other team

2272
02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:50,240
Speaker 1: in the league. We couldn't get past Kansas City. Fifteen

2273
02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:53,160
Speaker 1: wins against a tough schedule, a very tough schedule. So

2274
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:55,240
Speaker 1: we you know, we think Kansas City is that thing

2275
02:03:55,240 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 1: we gotta get by. We gotta do this, we gotta

2276
02:03:56,840 --> 02:03:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, no, just played better when you play that team.

2277
02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Just do what you do better and deploy what you'd

2278
02:04:03,480 --> 02:04:07,040
Speaker 1: do better on that day, and you'll be good enough

2279
02:04:07,080 --> 02:04:09,600
Speaker 1: to beat those guys. That's that's the bottom line. They

2280
02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:12,960
Speaker 1: played very well against you, and that's gonna be tough

2281
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 1: to beat, and the Bills couldn't do it. And the

2282
02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Bills did not play well against him. So that's what

2283
02:04:18,400 --> 02:04:21,520
Speaker 1: you gotta work on, not the process that got you

2284
02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:24,480
Speaker 1: to where you were in that game. Let's go back

2285
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 1: to the phones and we go to Chris and Buffalo Chris,

2286
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:29,360
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here on one Bill's Live. Okay,

2287
02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 1: what's up, guys? Not too much? What do you have

2288
02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: for us? Yeah? So, I'm a big Gabe Davis guy.

2289
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm actually constplating getting a jersey of his. Do you

2290
02:04:38,760 --> 02:04:41,840
Speaker 1: guys think that he can take beasley spot at wide

2291
02:04:41,880 --> 02:04:45,360
Speaker 1: receiver too? I mean, I love Beasley too, but I

2292
02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:48,040
Speaker 1: have a feeling that by the end of this upcoming year,

2293
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:51,920
Speaker 1: Davis might have more yards and touchdowns than him. Well,

2294
02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm not anticipating that, certainly not at the beginning of

2295
02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:58,720
Speaker 1: the season, Chris, and I think Beasley is still a

2296
02:04:58,840 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 1: valuable contributor. He's coming off a career high ninety two

2297
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 1: catch season. Am I right about that? Eighty two or

2298
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 1: ninety two catches? I can't remember he had the season

2299
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: he had Davis. Wait a minute, ringuter season? Yeah this, no,

2300
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm looking at the Okay, I got you

2301
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 1: thirty five for five nine ninety Well that's Gabe. But

2302
02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:29,480
Speaker 1: and uh Beasley, I mean he's coming off a career

2303
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:33,000
Speaker 1: high eighty two catch season, almost had thousand yards, and

2304
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 1: was a reliable option with a high catch rate. It's

2305
02:05:38,680 --> 02:05:41,440
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen he's not going anywhere. It's different to

2306
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:43,880
Speaker 1: say he'd be the second option. But I don't think

2307
02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 1: there's any way that Gabe Davis becomes a slot receiver. Yeah,

2308
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:50,160
Speaker 1: I think the slot guy, and I think Davis is

2309
02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:52,680
Speaker 1: an outside guy. Yeah. The guy that takes that position

2310
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:54,879
Speaker 1: down the line in a year or two is probably

2311
02:05:54,960 --> 02:05:58,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins. That's the guy that probably is your slot

2312
02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:01,920
Speaker 1: of the future. You want to know the truth. Yeah,

2313
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:06,200
Speaker 1: that's where he lined up in college UM and was

2314
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:09,880
Speaker 1: very effective there. And more and more teams are using

2315
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:12,920
Speaker 1: bigger players in the slot. UM. The first and best

2316
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:17,960
Speaker 1: one was Andre Reid and he was six one, two fifteen.

2317
02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean he was big. He's a big dude, and

2318
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:24,960
Speaker 1: it's effective. It's effective, and I could see them going

2319
02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:28,920
Speaker 1: that route, you know, when when Beasley's thirty five years

2320
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:31,880
Speaker 1: old and you know what I mean, So a couple

2321
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 1: of years from now, I could see Isaiah Hodgins in

2322
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 1: that role. Game's an outside guy. That's not to say

2323
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:39,680
Speaker 1: he can't play in the slot, UM, but if you're

2324
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:41,800
Speaker 1: looking at the next best guy to put in the slot,

2325
02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Emmanuel Sanders this year, unless Isaiah

2326
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Hodgins bursts onto the scene. I mean I could I

2327
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 1: could see instances, Steve where you've got Stefan and Gabriel

2328
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Davis outside and Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley work in

2329
02:06:57,160 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 1: double slots inside. Have fun with that. It's a tough

2330
02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:06,200
Speaker 1: matchup people. I mean it meant word got out about

2331
02:07:06,240 --> 02:07:08,600
Speaker 1: the Bills last year. I mean when they start hanging

2332
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:12,840
Speaker 1: points on the Rams and hanging those points on you know,

2333
02:07:13,320 --> 02:07:16,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Jets. Early in the season, Rams were

2334
02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 1: a top five defense. Dolphins were a top five defense,

2335
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:20,720
Speaker 1: and they lit them up. And that was early in

2336
02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:23,280
Speaker 1: the season and late in the season. People were watching

2337
02:07:23,360 --> 02:07:26,120
Speaker 1: this offense and they were a load. Man, they were hard.

2338
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 1: It was hard to defend him. Josh back there, this

2339
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:35,280
Speaker 1: huge athlete who was throwing it awesome, I mean accurate.

2340
02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 1: And you got guys that are getting separation out there,

2341
02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:41,720
Speaker 1: throwing with speed, and I mean it's they are a

2342
02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:44,720
Speaker 1: handful And you say, you want to see him run

2343
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:46,440
Speaker 1: the ball better. It ain't running the ball more. I'll

2344
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 1: tell you that. Right now. They may get a higher

2345
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:50,840
Speaker 1: per carry average, but they are not handing it off

2346
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:53,800
Speaker 1: more than forty percent of the time. Next year, they

2347
02:07:53,880 --> 02:07:56,800
Speaker 1: may hand it off less. Next year than they did

2348
02:07:57,160 --> 02:08:01,600
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, they're crazy to do anything but

2349
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,120
Speaker 1: what they were doing and force people to adapt to

2350
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: what they did last year. And once they do, then

2351
02:08:06,440 --> 02:08:08,280
Speaker 1: you may start thinking about doing something else. But man,

2352
02:08:08,320 --> 02:08:11,520
Speaker 1: oh man, even if they do try and come in

2353
02:08:11,640 --> 02:08:14,760
Speaker 1: with an expectation of having a plan against him, the

2354
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:19,200
Speaker 1: players are still way better. They're still gonna win more

2355
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:23,440
Speaker 1: often than not. And the way Josh makes choices, it's

2356
02:08:23,440 --> 02:08:27,800
Speaker 1: an impossible combination. I mean, the Bills scored thirty points

2357
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:32,120
Speaker 1: a game last year. They scored five hundred and one

2358
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:40,520
Speaker 1: points team record. That's it, bro. I mean that you

2359
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 1: don't need to reinvent the wheel. Yeah, so you know that.

2360
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:54,480
Speaker 1: So I ain't drafting a running back. Yeah, I'm drafting

2361
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 1: maybe an offensive lineman. Make sure Josh stays on two

2362
02:08:57,280 --> 02:08:59,360
Speaker 1: good wheels. And if you are drafting a running back,

2363
02:08:59,600 --> 02:09:01,560
Speaker 1: why did you do it in round one? If you're

2364
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball forty times a game, why you

2365
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 1: don't you know? They drafted running backs in the third

2366
02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:12,640
Speaker 1: round each of the last two years before they were

2367
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 1: even throwing the ball forty times a game Round three.

2368
02:09:16,680 --> 02:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Now that they throw it forty times a game, they're

2369
02:09:18,360 --> 02:09:21,720
Speaker 1: gonna Draft one. In Round one, I don't know. I

2370
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: don't know. If I get I can't get there. They

2371
02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:26,280
Speaker 1: scored five hundred and one point. I suppose it's possible,

2372
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:29,840
Speaker 1: but I can't get there. Last comment on the tweet sheets,

2373
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:34,040
Speaker 1: Steve ge Nicholson says the Bill's draft this year has

2374
02:09:34,120 --> 02:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to be front seven heavy. They need a youth infusion.

2375
02:09:38,800 --> 02:09:41,320
Speaker 1: They also have forty five million dollars locked up on

2376
02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 1: six players that are long in the tooth. Need three

2377
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:46,200
Speaker 1: to five picks for the front seven. And I also

2378
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:48,120
Speaker 1: think they need to look for a center that they

2379
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:52,280
Speaker 1: can develop for next year. Yeah, that's good. That all

2380
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:54,280
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense where we're sitting right this minute,

2381
02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:56,240
Speaker 1: long in the tooth on the D line. I will

2382
02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:59,840
Speaker 1: give him that. Yeah. Yeah. And Jerry Hughes going into

2383
02:09:59,880 --> 02:10:05,080
Speaker 1: his last year, UM Addison age thirty fourth season. Starlow

2384
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 1: to Lela aged thirty three season. I think he's thirty two.

2385
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he turns thirty three this count.

2386
02:10:12,680 --> 02:10:16,680
Speaker 1: So you got some guys like that, UM, and the

2387
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:20,080
Speaker 1: front seven is always critical, particularly given the fact that

2388
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:22,800
Speaker 1: your secondary is set for the next year or two

2389
02:10:23,760 --> 02:10:27,320
Speaker 1: with the with the safeties and tradevious and leaves thirty

2390
02:10:27,360 --> 02:10:31,040
Speaker 1: two in December, SOTY, so he's thirty one. So yeah,

2391
02:10:31,320 --> 02:10:33,840
Speaker 1: all that makes a lot of sense. And the offensive line,

2392
02:10:33,880 --> 02:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all about bringing in I'm I think they

2393
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:39,800
Speaker 1: got Ryan Bates, who does have the versatility to play

2394
02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:42,920
Speaker 1: all five spots and he could play center and guard.

2395
02:10:43,720 --> 02:10:46,360
Speaker 1: M he hasn't. He's had trouble getting on the field

2396
02:10:46,400 --> 02:10:49,520
Speaker 1: for this team, even when they were shuffling it up front,

2397
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:53,560
Speaker 1: So there's that, you know, maybe he'll never get there,

2398
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:56,880
Speaker 1: so you need to make sure you got somebody. So

2399
02:10:57,000 --> 02:10:58,880
Speaker 1: I agree with him. That's a great That's a great

2400
02:10:58,880 --> 02:11:03,520
Speaker 1: tweet from Gen Nichols. Ge Nicholson, Way to good, way

2401
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:06,200
Speaker 1: to end the I used his first initial. Yeah, so

2402
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:10,760
Speaker 1: break time for us. Steve and I close it up

2403
02:11:11,080 --> 02:11:14,560
Speaker 1: with what we have learned from today's show. It could

2404
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:17,560
Speaker 1: involve wardrobe decisions. We don't know. We'll have to see

2405
02:11:17,600 --> 02:11:20,320
Speaker 1: when we return here on One Bill's Live presented by

2406
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. What have we learned?

2407
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:49,480
Speaker 1: Brought to your buys Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2408
02:11:49,560 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. I feel like we should

2409
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:56,160
Speaker 1: have like fireworks sound effects for this sponsorship in any event. Yes,

2410
02:11:56,480 --> 02:11:58,880
Speaker 1: there is something that we learned on the COVID front.

2411
02:11:59,080 --> 02:12:01,600
Speaker 1: We had a caller earlier in the show. I believe

2412
02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:04,560
Speaker 1: it was Tom in West Seneca who cram the whole

2413
02:12:04,600 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: week of shows into. He was wondering whether or not

2414
02:12:08,480 --> 02:12:13,400
Speaker 1: the NFL has mandated vaccinations for players and you know employees.

2415
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:17,360
Speaker 1: The answer is no, and Judy Batista are good friend

2416
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:20,200
Speaker 1: from NFL Network just tweeted out that doctor Alan Sills,

2417
02:12:20,240 --> 02:12:25,600
Speaker 1: the NFL's chief medical officer, said today that the NFL

2418
02:12:26,120 --> 02:12:30,360
Speaker 1: and the Players Association have no plans to mandate the

2419
02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:34,600
Speaker 1: vaccine for players. They are going to rely on education

2420
02:12:35,080 --> 02:12:42,040
Speaker 1: to encourage taking it. Wow, that's logical and reasonable, and

2421
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:45,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about this, albeit briefly, on the show this week. Steve.

2422
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:52,520
Speaker 1: That's a heavy lift to get players to tell mandate

2423
02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:54,440
Speaker 1: to them what to do and what to put in

2424
02:12:54,480 --> 02:12:57,200
Speaker 1: their body. The mandate is that's a slippery slope there.

2425
02:12:57,280 --> 02:13:02,080
Speaker 1: That's right. It's hard to mandate people taking medication when

2426
02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:05,520
Speaker 1: they're fully healthy as it is. Certainly the risk is

2427
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:10,360
Speaker 1: greater obviously and all of that. But for your yeah, yeah,

2428
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:13,560
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's not going to happen but I mean

2429
02:13:13,640 --> 02:13:15,360
Speaker 1: most of the guys are probably gonna get it because

2430
02:13:15,880 --> 02:13:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up when you're in grade school,

2431
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, elementary school, you're in line down the hallway.

2432
02:13:21,560 --> 02:13:24,840
Speaker 1: They just line people up, and we're giving vaccinations today. Yeah,

2433
02:13:24,880 --> 02:13:26,520
Speaker 1: they just did it, you know. So I'm kind of

2434
02:13:26,800 --> 02:13:29,520
Speaker 1: old school that way. I'm like, yeah, yeah, whatever, give

2435
02:13:29,560 --> 02:13:32,640
Speaker 1: it to me, you know, and it's like just another

2436
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:34,720
Speaker 1: day at the office for me. Right, So I'm I'm

2437
02:13:34,800 --> 02:13:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of old school like that way. Now, these new

2438
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:39,600
Speaker 1: generations and for good reasons, and you know, they have

2439
02:13:39,720 --> 02:13:42,840
Speaker 1: a different view of it. So okay, let's hear that.

2440
02:13:42,960 --> 02:13:44,800
Speaker 1: Let's listen to the science and go with that way.

2441
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:47,720
Speaker 1: A couple of minor news and notes. DeMarcus Robinson, the

2442
