1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Quick blow. Lepside has the first Animore or up the

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: side by forty thirty twenty ten five touchdown Joe Ston.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: There is no off season for your Houston Texans. Game

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: day is every day. No, it's Texans All Lexans. Welcome

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: and everybody to a Tuesday edition of Texans All Access

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: from the Hounday Texans Radio Studio Mobile version. I'm your host,

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: John Harris, football anal sideline reporter, head spinning with all

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: that has taken place in the NFL, and we've got

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: it all for you tonight at Texas All Access. I

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: will be joined later in the show by Buffalo Bill

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: sideline reporter a good friend of mine, Sal Capaccio. We'll

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: talk a little Shack Lawson and I think you're really

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: going to like this discussion on Shack loss and he

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: spent the first part of his career, first four years,

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: I believe it was with Buffalo, and Sal got the

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Shimu post in person, some very interesting things from South.

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: So we had a long discussion about that. The Bills

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: AFC trades that occurred a year ago, well one trade

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: that happened a year ago, we won't talk about the

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: other one, and plenty more and then we'll go round

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: the league, because there's a lot to get caught up on.

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: But to start the show, the Man, the Myth, my boss,

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: my friend, Mapal a partner, a voice of Texans, Martin

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: Van Amir Mark, Good evening. How are you, my friend, Johnny.

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I'm still in a central part of

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: the state today, and I went to Enchanted Rock to

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: follow free agency up there, and then I lost the signal,

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: so that was interesting. By the time I came back

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: down the mountain, I feel like Moses. I come back

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: down the mountain and I activate my phone and I

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: get more news of Texans signings. And I've seen all

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: these creative tweets like Nick slow down, Nick, grab a snack.

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: My gosh, Nick has gone crazy. It's not crazy, though,

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see this. What is it a

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: dozen guys in the last couple of days to say

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: nothing about what they did before, which you and I

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: were talking about last night, and I think you just

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Lawson, you know, he and Marcus Cannon to me

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: are the biggest pieces so far as far as what's

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: going to improve the team from you know, a marquee

41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: value standpoint, as far as names you know, and things

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: that you can clearly envision. I think a lot of

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: the other guys there are a lot of questions just

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: to how exactly do they fit in? Are they you know,

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: you have a lot of things that have to add

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: up in order to see them at the starting line

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: on opening day. But I think we're all excited to

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: see it, and I can't wait to see these guys

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: on the field together, see them start to gel. Yeah,

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: no doubt. And Mark, we're gonna get right to it

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: right off the bat, and we'll probably spend the most

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: time on this one because the Texans added a quarterback. Now,

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: you have to be living under a rock to not

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: have seen all that out there in social media, out

55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: in the world, et cetera about Shaun Watson. Either way,

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, the Texans needed more quarterbacks on

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: this roster. You talked about the other day with your

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: vandomock bringing in Sam Ellinger thinking the six or seventh round,

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: which I think would be I think that would be

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: a really solid move to bringing a guy like that,

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: But there has to be somebody else. Sam k come

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: in and be number two right away. So you need

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: a guy that provides flexibility on a number of different realms,

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: so that Nick Casserio, as has been noted by sources,

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: this has not been made official by the team, and

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: again we are still in the legal tampering period. But

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: to Rod Taylor, formerly of the Chargers, led the Bills

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs in twenty seventeen. To Rod Taylor joins

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the Texans with a contract up to twelve million with

70
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: a base around six million. Mark your gut reaction to

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Rod Taylor joining the Texans. Well, I think it's strengthen

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: strengthens the quarterback position. Like you said, Look, I think

73
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: Taylor is what you call a great backup. You know,

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy if your starter goes down

75
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time, you feel good about

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: his ability to carry the team. He's so well respected

77
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: and I love his story, Johnny, I really do, because

78
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought, well, he's never going to

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: amount to anything, and then he goes to Buffalo and

80
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: does what he did. And let's not forget how big

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: that season was for the Bills to get to the playoffs.

82
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: So the first time since was it the Clinton administration

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: or the George push Junior administration, I mean it was

84
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: a long time since they had been to the postseason,

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: and it was really a thrill. We also that locker

86
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: room video and he was the starting quarterback on that team.

87
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: And I give him tons of credit because a lot

88
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks have been there Drew Bledsoe and have

89
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: not been able to get the Bills to the postseason, right,

90
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: And guys they invested a lot in have not Ryan

91
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick couldn't get the Bills to the postseason. You know,

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: they're lost, man. I mean the list goes on and on.

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: But to me, he's the kind of guy who can

94
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: help this team because you absolutely have to have a

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: good backup and you might need a starter if certain

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: things play out a certain way, right, And I think

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: that he would be the answer necessarily. But I don't

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: think he thinks he's the answer. He's just part of

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: an answer. And you know, let's say you have Deshaun

100
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: and Shaun's out four weeks. You know, who do you

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: want taking snaps? I think Tyrod Taylor would be great

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: to do that in the horrible event that that would

103
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: take place. You know, I'm just playing out the hypotheticals here.

104
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: So no matter how you look at it, I think

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: you got better. I do like AJ McCarron, but I

106
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: think that Taylor brings a little something extra, and I

107
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: think that his time as a starter brings up a

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: little extra credibility in the locker room. Not that AJ's

109
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: not credible, let's be clear on that, but Tyrod has

110
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: just played more and has a little bit more of that.

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: I think there are two stories that stand out when

112
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: I think about Tara Taylor. Number one actually goes all

113
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: the way back to two thousand and seven. He's a

114
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: freshman at Virginia Tech and was not the starter yet,

115
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: and we had traveled Chomp Pendergast and I had traveled

116
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: to Baton Rouge to see the LSU Virgie Tech game.

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: We did radio from there and I could have a

118
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: great weekend. We're gonna watch Virginia Tech LSU the top

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: ten teams in the country, and LSU was just dominating

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: the game. Taylor comes in the game and he was

121
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: the only player on the field that night that could

122
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: match LSU speed for speed, and it was amazing. They

123
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Virginia Texas get eaten up. Also, Taylor comes in, It's

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: like WHOA, this game just changed. And he put together

125
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: a great career Virginia Tech, and I think he's put

126
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: together a pretty strong career in the NFL, albeit not

127
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: a full time, year after year starter, but he has

128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: been a value player no where, no matter where he's been.

129
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Last year, I feel for the guy. They're going out

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: for week two, and before he goes out for week two,

131
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: he takes a shot because he had heard his ribs,

132
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I believe, and it punctured as lung. He's got to

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: go to the hospital. And then Justin Herbert is tremendous

134
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: and Turrot never gets his job back. But I watched

135
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks last year, and I don't know if a

136
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: lot of people did, felt like the ratings were down.

137
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: But if you go back and watch Hard Knocks and

138
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: you watch how Taylor, how he acts, and as you'd say,

139
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: it's an act, how he reacts with his teammates, how

140
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: he helps his teammates, how he helped Justin Herbert, how

141
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: he interacted with his coaches. That's a guy you want

142
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: around your ball club. Mark. That's a guy you want

143
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: to have starter, third string, first string, special teams. It

144
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: really doesn't matter. You want a guy like that around

145
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: your locker room. Because you talk about smart. Obviously he's

146
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: been able to do it both running and throwing. His

147
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: completion percentage over the years is I've been better than

148
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: people will give him credit. It's been very, very high.

149
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: I think he is a key piece to add and

150
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned it. You don't want a particular thing to happen,

151
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: but if it does, you've got to be prepared. And

152
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: I think Taylor gives you a ton more flexibility in

153
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: that realm than any other quarterback they could have gotten,

154
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: because I think there are a number of roles he

155
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: can play and he would be valued in all of them. Mark,

156
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I think he's valued in any role that he is

157
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: going to play. And you know what, I don't know

158
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: if he'll wear number five. He's won number five and

159
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: pretty much all it stops number five gets on the field.

160
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: I feel confident, confident good things happen, very very confident

161
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: that good things happen. You know, twelve and four good things.

162
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I just know that

163
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: the offense will be run properly, good decisions will be made,

164
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: the ball will be taken care of, and the offense

165
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: will move with him at the help. Now will it

166
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: move at a pace that another quarterback. We know, well, no,

167
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: because that guy's one of the best in the league.

168
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: But if it has to be, you have a guy

169
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: that at least can step in, take the reins, learn

170
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the offense, and get everybody where they need to be

171
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: on every single play. Mark when I saw this come down,

172
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: I was thrilled. I was thrilled, And you know, I

173
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: put together kind of like a postseason document like going

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty one, like what would I do? You know,

175
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: how should you know? Just kind of working through like

176
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: what I think the backup quarterback that I first put

177
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Tarrod Taylor so so good. Well hit that one out

178
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: of the park with Tarrod Taylor come into the Texas

179
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: well you said it, well, he fits any role, and

180
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: I think for them, you have to look at it

181
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: this way. There was one quarterback on the roster up

182
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: till now, right, and it was Deshaun Watson. Yes and yeah.

183
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: With all the noise surrounding DeShawn and everybody wing and

184
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: everybody's got an opinion, right, And I get it. The

185
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: NFL's the most talked about thing in or it's that

186
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: everyone's going to have an opinion on what they perceived

187
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: to be going on. With all that going on, you

188
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: didn't have any other quarterback to sort of rest your

189
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: eyes on, and now you do. You know, now you

190
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: have a guy in the building. Now, no one's in

191
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: the building right now, but metaphorically or symbolically in the building,

192
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: somebody who you can rest your eyes on. You could say, hey,

193
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: he strengthens this group, DeShawn Tyrod Taylor. We feel good

194
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: about this too. So now who knows what's going to happen.

195
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of speculation, well, if they

196
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: signed Tyrod Taylor, it means this, or it means that. Look,

197
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: we don't know. We can't go there. We don't really

198
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: know what it means in terms of what other people

199
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: are thinking, speculating, hypothesizing. But I can tell you this,

200
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: you're better at quarterback than you were obviously because you

201
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: only had one guy on the roster. Now you're stronger.

202
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: But even with aj you know who I thought looked

203
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: good with the Bengals during that little postseason run when

204
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: he came in for Andy Dalton. But you have a

205
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: guy here, and Taylor has played a lot more and

206
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: has so much respect in the locker room. Likely said,

207
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: I just feel better having him around. No matter what happens.

208
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: And I think they do too. And when you look

209
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: at all the different ways that this thing could play out,

210
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Johnny at the quarterback position, You're right. You're better off

211
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: with him than with a lot of other guys. Right,

212
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: You're better off with the Tyrod Taylor. And credit to

213
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: you for identifying this early that he would be the

214
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: ideal candidate for what they are going through right now

215
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: as an organization, what's happening around them and everything. I

216
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: think that you said it well, and I credit Nick

217
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: for making this signing. Again. Nick's been busy. Nick's got

218
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: that phone plugged in. Nick's probably drinking a lot of coffee. No,

219
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he has coffee, Johnny. I think he's

220
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: on all natural everything. So whatever he's eating, I want

221
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: some of it because it seems to be working. Yeah. Absolutely.

222
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of trail mex he'll putt

223
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: in his body, but it's definitely got the phones going.

224
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny last night that Justin Reid

225
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: put on a cartoon of a guy just banging a

226
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: keyboard and answering phones and he just said, boy, Nick's

227
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: getting busy, And I thought it was pretty interesting that

228
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: a player recognize that and put that out. But my goodness,

229
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: have teams been getting busy to Texas maybe more than

230
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: most with a number of players. Well, Mark, I gotta

231
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: say the Jacksonville Jaguars have done a really nice job.

232
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin at corner to go with CJ. Henderson, Ray,

233
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: Shawn Jenkins from the Chargers at safety, a boomerang, and

234
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide going back. They just signed Marvin Jones out

235
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: on the outside, who reminds me of DJ Chark, and

236
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: they'll be teammates Holy cow and oh, by the way,

237
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: the Titans added Denico Autry and Bud Dupree Angineor's Jenkins,

238
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: although they cut Malcolm Butler, Dori Jackson, and Tim Kelly.

239
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: So teams in division and getting busy. The one team

240
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: that's been relatively quiet, which we'll hear about on Wednesday

241
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: because the official trade for Carson Wentz will go fish

242
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: with the Colts. Culturally, I haven't done a whole lot.

243
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: They're kind of line in the weeds, which actually scares me.

244
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: But what are you think of what the Titans and

245
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars have done? What stood out to you? Well? I

246
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: remember one of my favorite gifts. Although I didn't like

247
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: it for us, but I thought it was entertaining. What

248
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: was the year the cults were going nuts and Free

249
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: Agency and their own account put out you know, the

250
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: popcorn eating gift of like cult free agency, like you

251
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: couldn't get enough of it, right, because they couldn't get

252
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: enough of it. But ultimately I think it ended up

253
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: being an eight and eight campaign for them. So for

254
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: this year, who knows how this plays out. I know

255
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: that was a different regime, and I'm looking at what

256
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: the Titans are doing. They're already a good team. You

257
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: know this. They won the division. I think they've made

258
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: some solid additions. Here, you said, Tim Kelly, by the way,

259
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: by accident, you met Dennis Kelly. Dennis Kelly, Tim's driving home. Say,

260
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. Dennis Kelly, tim Kelly's brother. So

261
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: I missed out of there. I met Dennis Kelly, tim

262
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Kelly's brother. So there you go, all right, Mark, I

263
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: gotta catch up my PALASACAPATCHO. Learn a little bit more

355

Speaker 1: But maybe we're getting there. Got the vaccine well first

356
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: dost today, so be excited people. I'm your host, John Harris,

357
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: FOOTBALLOS Silent Reporter, and I am joined now by I've

358
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: gotten over the last five six years. Good friend of

359
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: mine from Buffalo covers the Buffalo Bills covers the NFL

360
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: like nobody that I know. Papala Salacio sal my friend,

361
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: how are you doing? I know you got the vaccine,

362
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: you feeling, my friend? Yeah, actually I had the first one.

363
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: I'll be getting the second one on Thursday, so you know,

364
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think that, you know, the people say

365
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: that there's a little bit with the second one when

366
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: that happens, But pretty good so far. My arm was

367
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: a little sore after the first shot, but I'm so

368
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. You know, I have a family

369
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: down in Florida, so it's nice. New York has a

370
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: lot of different restrictions compared to where you are or

371
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: most of so if we travel, we have all these

372
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: different protocols. But you know, now that I'll be vaccinated,

373
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: it'll be a lot easier. Yeah, I definitely will. And

374
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how the league reacts to this.

375
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: I know, with the vaccine, it's a little different than

376
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: being tested every single day for COVID, which I'm still

377
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: doing every single day. So it's gonna be interesting to

378
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: see how the league plays out with this. So I

379
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: want to start here. Well, we're gonna get the shack

380
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: loss in this second because Shack spent some time in Buffalo.

381
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: He is now a Houston, Texan after the trade of

382
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. But I gotta ask you, and I actually

383
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: didn't plan on doing this when you and I talked

384
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: about doing this interview to talk about the Patriots and

385
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: what the Patriots have done John H. Smith earlier on Tuesday,

386
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: they added Hunter Henry, they added Jalen Mills, they did

387
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: resigned Cam Newton. They've done a number of different things.

388
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: What's been kind of your reaction and the Bill's fan

389
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: reaction to what Belichick and the Patriots have done these

390
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: first couple of days of free agency. So you know,

391
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: it's funny because we live this existence here in Buffalo

392
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: for twenty years of the Patriots just dominating the Bills

393
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: and never seeing it, never having a sniff. And that's

394
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: because they had Tom Brady, of course, and Bill Belichick,

395
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: and you know, they always got cheap labor for people

396
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: to go there and play with Brady and to chance

397
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: to win and things like that. And then suddenly the

398
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: Bills finally find their franchise quarterback, Josh Allen, and they

399
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: overtake the Patriots, and they kind of, you know, they

400
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: put a stamp on that last year and got to

401
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. But now here we are, there's

402
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: still this fear bunker that a lot of Bills fans

403
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: live in. This is Belichick and this is the Patriots

404
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: and everything they do. Oh my god, they're closing that gap.

405
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: And look they are closing the gap. They JOHNO. Smith's

406
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: a really good player. Hunter Henry's a really good player. Well,

407
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: who's the quarterback and where's the outside weapons? And as

408
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: good as Bill Belichick is as a coach, they still

409
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: don't have Josh Allen. They're gonna have to find a

410
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: way is still to beat the Buffalo Bills. So I

411
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: think the Patriots got some really nice players. I love

412
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: JOHNAH Smith and Hunter Henry. We talked about them maybe

413
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: even for the Bills. You know that didn't happen. Yeah,

414
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: but they still don't have Josh Allen and they still

415
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: have to bridge that gap. And they have Cam Newton.

416
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: So it's really interesting. By the way, I think it's

417
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: fascinating what their offense is going to look like. I

418
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: know that like twelve personnel can win in the NFL,

419
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: other teams have done it, but their philosophy is more

420
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: looking to me, like what the Ravens have tried to

421
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: do the last few years running the ball using tight ends.

422
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: They don't have those outside receivers, and we've seen the

423
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Ravens have a ceiling. So I'm still not convinced this

424
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: is gonna work. I'm curious to see how it goes

425
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: to And somebody had texted me today and asked me

426
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: about a tweet that somebody put out there about how

427
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: they put some resources in tight ends, and I said, well,

428
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: the first question that people should be asking is why

429
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: haven't they been able to draft receivers that can win

430
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: where they want Hunter Henry and John who Smith to

431
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: win as receivers because those two guys aren't going to

432
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: break the bank as run blockers. They're not going to

433
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: do that. So why have they been so deficient in

434
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: drafting wide receivers? Recently, famously Nikil Harry at the end

435
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, I believe that was at the end

436
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: of the first round, when apparently Belichick was told, hey,

437
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: there's some of the receivers should look at. He decided

438
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: to go with Nikil Harry. Don't know all that's what's true,

439
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: but the proof is in the pick, and that is

440
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: Nikil Harry has not panned out, and other receivers they

441
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: drafted have not panned out. So they've had to find

442
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: some interior passing weapons and they found that with tight ends.

443
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: So and that's the tricky thing. And you know this.

444
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: So when you label a guy at tight end, the

445
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: first image and of course if you're an our age demographic,

446
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: you think of Mark Bavarro, I think of the big,

447
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: thick run blocking tight end. Tight End is not quite that.

448
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: I know you guys, there's been a lot of a

449
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: lot of smoke lately about tight end. Drafted Dawson Knox

450
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: a few years ago, but that's been one piece because

451
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 1: you have a lot of other pieces. That tight end

452
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: can be a piece for you guys looking forward. What

453
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: is the thought about tight end for you guys going

454
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: forward with the Bills? You think it's gonna end up

455
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: having to be a draft pick. What's the thought on

456
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: tight end for you guys moving forward? No, I think

457
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: the Bills would like to upgrade immediately at tight end.

458
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: And look, we liked Dawson Knox here. I think the

459
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: team likes Dawson Knox, the organization does, but it was

460
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 1: very it was very telling at the end of the season,

461
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: the end of your press conference by Brandon Bean, he

462
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: actually said, and you don't usually get this from most gms,

463
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: especially a guy like Brandon Bean. He said, we didn't

464
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: feel our tight ends threatened the defense enough. And that's

465
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: kind of really calling out the position, you know, and

466
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: to say something like that, and then he went on

467
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: to say, what you really want is what we saw

468
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: in Kansas City at the end of the year. He said,

469
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: I know that that's hard to get. You know, they

470
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: don't just come along every day that you're after, Right,

471
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: So are you gonna get that in the draft? Well,

472
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: unless you're drafting in the top ten and get Kyle Pitts,

473
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: probably not, as you'd probably agree, right, I mean, you're

474
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: not going to get that guy who's an immediate impact,

475
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: even the guy's like Noah Fan TJ Hockinson. These Oh

476
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: my god, look at these tight end prospects. They take time, John,

477
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: And this is not this is an evolving like, this

478
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: is one of the positions that actually takes a little

479
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: time the league. So it's interesting. Just before you and

480
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: I hooked up here, I saw a report from Michael

481
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Silver that said the Bills actually had a similar offer

482
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: into Rob Gronkowski. He's from Buffalo, but he obviously went

483
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: back to Tampa. What does that tell me? That tells

484
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: me the Bills are going to be in the tight

485
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: end market. So I wonder, and let's remember we are

486
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: today at the one year anniversary or the Bills trading

487
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: for Stepvon Diggs. I wonder if there's a trade out

488
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: there for the Bills to make for a tight end.

489
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: Maybe not a free agent, but you know, there's guys

490
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: like Dan Arnold. I really like him, got untapped out

491
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Maybe that's something they can look into. There

492
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: are some players, so we'll see. But I do think

493
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: the Bills and I like And by the way, this

494
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: is not an indictment on Dawson Knox. I liked Dawson Knox.

495
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: I think he has a odd on this team. I

496
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: think they can get better. Though yeah I don't. I

497
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: think you're right, and I do. I like Dawson Knox

498
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: as well. It's also the one year anniversary of another

499
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: trade that we're just not going to mention or talk

500
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: about tonight. You and I've talked about that before. But

501
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: I think the Digs trade worked out for both the

502
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Bills and the Vikings, whereas the other trade I don't

503
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: think worked out for both teams the way that we

504
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: would have liked it to have happened. All right, step

505
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: in the Shack Lawson. The Texans trade for Shack Lawson

506
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: started his career in Buffalo, so I thought in the

507
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: playoff game, I thought he was very, very good in

508
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: the playoff game. He goes down to Miami. The Texans

509
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: make a deal sending Menarji McKinney down to Miami to

510
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: play middle linebacker for them. The Texans get an edge

511
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: player in return. In your opinion, what are the Texans

512
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: getting and the guy like Shack Lawson, super high energy guy,

513
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna love having him like he's he fits into

514
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: any locker room. I think this is a guy that

515
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, people gravitate to him. He's got a great

516
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: fun personality, right, and I think that kind of was

517
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: his to his detriment a little bit early on in

518
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: this league. I think what happened with Shaq was, first

519
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: of all, he was drafted by Rex Ryan and Rex

520
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: saw this. You remember Rex's kid played at Clemson. He

521
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: was Shack's teammate. Okay, Rex saw a lot of Clemson play.

522
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: He loved him, he said in Rex wanted defensive guys

523
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: and he saw he was the acc player of the year.

524
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: But to be honest, he didn't fit Rex's defense. Rex

525
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: ran more of like a three four hybrid, and Shack

526
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: had to come in and he had to play outside linebacker.

527
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: He not necessarily not defensive end. But the other thing

528
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: that really hurt him was going to a team that

529
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: wasn't as buttoned up as a coach like Rex. Ryan.

530
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if Shack was quite the professional he

531
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: needed to be the first couple of years in the league,

532
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, you know, I think he needed

533
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Sean McDermott in the Bills organization and

534
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff to kind of get him into that mold,

535
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: and he really did. He became that. After his third year,

536
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: the Bills declined the fifth year option. There was a

537
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of talk because he was an ascending player. He

538
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: started playing well, and I remember being in the locker

539
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: room and talking to him about it, and he said, look,

540
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go out and really play and

541
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: earn my money, and hey, if if they don't want

542
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: to keep me, then I'll go somewhere else, but I'm

543
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 1: gonna try and show them that I'm worth it. And

544
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: then he actually had the most sacks on the Bills

545
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: his contract year, his fourth year. I really like how

546
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: Shack turned out as a football player. I don't think

547
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: he's lived up to the exact first round potential, but

548
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: I think going to Rex Ryan both on and off

549
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: the field, actually hurt him early on in his career.

550
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: With Shack, you mentioned it three four verses four to three,

551
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: and the look the lines on those two defenses have

552
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: blurred so much more in the last probably a decade

553
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: than ever before. But there are some significant defences at

554
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: significant positions in the edge spot being one of those.

555
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: He went from a three to four in Buffalo, then

556
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: Sean brings in a four to three. Then he goes

557
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: to a little bit more of a three four kind

558
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: of hybrid look down in Miami. Now with love me

559
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: Smith here in Houston, the assumption is it'll be more

560
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: of a four three. Do you feel like that South

561
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: fits Shack a bit better to play that four three

562
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: defensive end spot as opposed to a stand up or

563
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: a three four outside linebacker. I do, I do. I

564
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: think Shack Lawson is a four three defensive end. He

565
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: is not a stand up linebacker. He doesn't need to

566
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: be ucoverage. He needs to have his hand on the

567
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: ground in a Russian quarterback. But you know what, he's

568
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: a good edge setter, John, He's actually really good edge defender.

569
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: And no more was this more evident than when the

570
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: Bills played the Ravens in the twenty nineteen season. Go

571
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: back and watch that game. Shack Lawson was amazing in

572
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: that game. He was really good. He did everything exactly

573
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: like you're supposed to against Lamar Jackson. I thought Shack

574
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: was maybe the best defender on the field that day

575
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. And again that goes back to

576
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: coaching from Leslie Fraser, coaching from Sean McDermott. But he

577
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: had to be able to do that himself. So I

578
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: think Shack belongs in a forty three. I think he

579
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: is an edge defender. He can get to the quarterback.

580
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna give you some sacks, but don't

581
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: be He's not gonna be a double digit sack guy.

582
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't expect that. But he can win a little bit.

583
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: But where he really excels, I think it's just being

584
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: an all around guy. If he's as long as he's

585
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: coached right and as long as he's put in a

586
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: position to succeed, he'll be fine. All Right. Six years ago,

587
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: before you and I really got to know each other,

588
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: we took a trip up the Buffalo. We came in December,

589
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna listen. You know how I feel

590
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: about Buffalo Stadium everything. I loved it, loved it. But

591
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: it was forty degrees in December. Man, we come back

592
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. I mean, can you promise me

593
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: a snow be cold weather so I can get the

594
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: full Buffalo experience in twenty twenty one that you gotta

595
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: get a game after Thanksgiving for that? Really, you know,

596
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I know people like to make jokes that like, oh,

597
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: it's it's September. Is it already snowing in Buffalo? No? No, No,

598
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: we have games in the eighty degree range when it's

599
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: in September. Still we're still in the sixties in October.

600
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, get you gotta get late October for it

601
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: to start to turn. You get a little bit of

602
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: that mix you got to get in November maybe for

603
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: a chance of snow, but once you get past Thanksgiving,

604
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: that's where your chances are really high to have those

605
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: snow flowers. It's funny. We were talking about Shack Lawson actually,

606
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: and I remember Jacksonville coming here late in the year

607
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of years ago, and you

608
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: were on my podcast and we had I talked. I

609
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: told this story. One of the reasons I'll always love

610
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: Shack is um here. It was a play, there was

611
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: a yeah, there was a there was a fight that

612
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: broke out during the game, and Leonard Fournette basically came

613
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: running across the field and Shack lost it and Leonard

614
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: Fournette got into it, and I'm there and Shack and

615
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette basically blew me right into the wall, right

616
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: it was. Remember that. It was incredible and I'm I'm

617
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: on CBS high tailing it out of there because I

618
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: was about to get drilled by either Shack or Leonard Fournette.

619
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: And I remember that was a late in the sea,

620
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: a cold team for a team like the Jaguars to

621
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: come up to Buffalo. But that's what you need. And

622
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't even snow in then. We don't get a

623
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: lot of snow games. Here. When we do, it's noticeable,

624
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: but we don't get a lot of them. Actually, to

625
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: be honest with you, sALS we down here in Houston

626
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: are obviously. Our twenty twenty season disintegrated very very early,

627
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: and so I think there are a lot of Houston

628
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: fans that I don't want to say, jump on a bandwagon,

629
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: but they wanted to feel a tie. They wanted to

630
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: feel excited about a team, and they wanted to look

631
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: at a team and go, you know what I'm gonna

632
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: I kind of want to ride the wave with that

633
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: team until my team is kind of back. And I

634
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of people in Houston were like, man,

635
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: hashtag Bills Mafia, Man, watch these guys. These guys are fun.

636
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: They fans are fun. Did you guys kind of sense

637
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: that throughout the year that you were kind of gaining

638
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: a following that maybe you didn't even know because of

639
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: kind of the fun loving Josh Alice to fond Day's relationship,

640
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: because of the way the Bills were perceived. You'd see

641
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: him throwing snowballs at each other after a practice. Did

642
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: you guys sense that was the case? And if not,

643
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: do now that you know it, what does it say

644
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: about what the Bills have been building that I got

645
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: people here in Houston that really want to jump on

646
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: board Bills mafia and be Bills fans. Yeah, you know,

647
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: I do get that sense, and I have and I'll

648
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: tell you what I think it really comes from. It

649
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: might not even be as much as the Bills. I

650
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: think it's a lot of it of what you said.

651
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: You're right, it's the fact that maybe a team can

652
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: finally overtake the Patriots. I think people have gotten so

653
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: much Patriots fatigue that here's this team with this up

654
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: and coming team and this fun loving team, and you

655
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: know what, how great would it be to finally dethrone

656
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots people who just hated the Patriots

657
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: so much? John that that might be it. But I

658
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: also think that, you know, there's a romanticism and a

659
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: charm to Bills fans and Buffalo. We're like a college

660
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: atmosphere here, right. It's people jumping through tables and run

661
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: around in front of themselves in the parking lot, you know, accidentally,

662
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: and things like that. And I think people see that

663
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: and go, that's the way sports fans should be. Now,

664
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating for all these shenanigans that are going on,

665
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: but you get it. I mean, it's we live in

666
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: such a sports football, high priced, corporate world. You know,

667
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: people sitting on their hands. Bills mafia isn't like that.

668
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: And I think there's a charm to that that people

669
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: have gravitated to. And I think that's why every time

670
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: a free agent science here, they say, boy, I notice

671
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: what happens like and what it's like in that stadium,

672
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: and I see it on TV and I want to

673
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: be a part of that. And I think that's what's

674
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: cool about it and why people have gravitated to. You

675
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 1: make the run TODAYFC Championship game. Unfortunately it doesn't go

676
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: as well as you would have liked. Do you feel

677
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: like to take what's there to take the next step

678
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: and what you have to do to take the next step,

679
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: and what's you have to avoid so you don't take

680
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: a step backwards in twenty twenty one, So I think

681
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: to bridge the gap between the Bills and the Chiefs,

682
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: they need two things one offense, one on defense. They

683
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: need more speed on offense. They're not slow, but they're

684
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 1: not what the Chiefs are. You know, you see what

685
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs can do when you see Tyreek Kill and

686
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman get the ball in their hands and what

687
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: they can do. The Bills don't have players like that.

688
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: I've I've kind of what I've said on the air

689
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: is what the Bills need is Isaiah McKenzie with a

690
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: turbo button like he's the kind of player. But they

691
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: need a guy more like that. They need guys that

692
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: they can put the ball in their hands. That's why

693
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: don't be totally shocked if they maybe take a guy

694
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: like Travis etn you know at the end of the

695
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: first round. Look, that's what the Chiefs did with uh,

696
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, Clyde Edwards Hilaire. That's what they needed. Even

697
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: though you have this dynamic offense, you need a little

698
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: more to get you over the top. You get a

699
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: guy like that that can you can get him out

700
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: of the backfield put the ball in his hands. Devin

701
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: Singletary's a nice back so is Zach Moss. They're not

702
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: running away from anybody, you know. I think that's that's

703
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: the issue and what the Bills need. On the other side,

704
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: it's exactly what the Buccaneers had to beat the Chiefs.

705
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: You have you need more pressure from the front four. Um,

706
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: that's why I actually, to be honest with you, John,

707
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people felt the Bill should have never

708
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: gotten rid of Shack Lawson. He was their leading sack

709
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: guy a couple of years ago. Um, he's not, like

710
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: I said, a true pass rusher. But they need more.

711
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: They need more from their front four. They need to

712
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: be able to get to the quarterback, affect the quarterback.

713
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: And the thing they need to avoid is I think

714
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: basically thinking that continuities continuity is just going to win.

715
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: It is great. I will be the first to tell you,

716
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: it's awesome knowing that everybody's coming back for the Bills.

717
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: They just resigned Matt Mulano, They they re up Deon Dakins,

718
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: Tredavious White last offseason. They just resign Daryl Willam and

719
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: John Fliciano. They're gonna be replacing the fewest amount of

720
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: snaps in the league. That's awesome. But you can't think

721
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: that just running it back is going to be good

722
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: enough to catch the team. You gotta get better than

723
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: that too. Was it surprising in any way, shape or

724
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: form the way that Diggs played, the way Diggs helped Alan,

725
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: the way Alan helped Diggs. I know you and I

726
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: talked about it, and in that playoff game that we

727
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: played in twenty nineteen, if Diggs is there for Buffalo,

728
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: I think we have a harder time winning that game,

729
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: if at all? Was it in any revelation? We knew

730
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: he was good, but did y'all know he was that

731
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: good when you got him? I don't think so. You know,

732
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: we had heard a lot of stories, we had done

733
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: a lot of digging, saw the routes, how great of

734
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: a route runner he was, you know, hands everything, he's amazing.

735
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: But I think the missing element was and people said, oh,

736
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: this guy could be really good, but come on, you're

737
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: giving up in a historic wide receiver draft class. You're

738
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: giving up a first round pick, right and you know,

739
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: look what the Vikings did. But here's the difference, And

740
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: I think this is what really made the difference was

741
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Dable said, I'm gonna use this guy to his

742
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: maximum ability. He led the league in targets and he

743
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: led the league in catches. I mean, it's one thing

744
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: to have this talented player, but it's completely different if

745
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: you use him the way you're supposed to use him.

746
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: I think it was a great plan. Brandon Bean says look,

747
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend the asset to do it, but we

748
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: got to use him then. I'm not just gonna spend

749
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: the first Trump pick to give this guy seventy targets.

750
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: That doesn't work. So I think at the end of

751
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: the day, you know, seeing the development of Josh Allen,

752
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: that was really the thing that put it over the

753
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: top for step On Diggs and where Josh went to

754
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: Brian Dable as well, and as you know, he's coming back.

755
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: He didn't get one of those head jobs like a

756
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: lot of people thought he would. That's going to be

757
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: great for this offense as a whole. But step On

758
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: Diggs is he is the real deal. The AFC has

759
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: been the Kansas City Chiefs the last three years. The

760
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: Patriots snuck in there twenty eighteen right at the back

761
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: end of Tom Brady. We have not gotten all the

762
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: way through free agency, We've not gotten all the way

763
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: through the draft. But as you handicapped the AFC, hey,

764
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: how close do you think everyone else is to the

765
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs as opposed to previous years? And what is it

766
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: going to overtake be to overtake the Chiefs and have

767
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: a team from the AFC be represented by the Bills

768
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: or by some of the team. And if it is

769
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: not the Bills and it's not the Chiefs, who is it. Well,

770
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are clearly number one. I think

771
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: there's a bit of a gap. There's a clear number two,

772
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: which is the Bills. You'd probably agree. I think there's

773
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: a bit of a gap. And then there's a bunch

774
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: of teams, right. I don't think Pittsburgh's there as much

775
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: as it A lot of people might have seemed like

776
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: that or thought that they're losing defensive players. Ben we

777
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: saw that as the year went on. He's not quite

778
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: the same quarterback. I don't think that's the case. I

779
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: think the Ravens have a ceiling with Lamar and their

780
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: philosophy that they want to run. They don't have the

781
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: outside threats, they don't have the weapons. They just lost

782
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: Matthew jud On. The team would be the Colts, but

783
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about Carson Wentz. Like they're a good

784
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: team and they're really well coached too. I mean, like

785
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: that's a that's a team I think you have to

786
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: really watch out, But I'm not really sure about Carson Wentz.

787
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: I like Tennessee for this reason. When they're When they're good,

788
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: they might be the best team in the conference. When

789
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: they're not on their game, they're a very middle of

790
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: the pack team, right, I mean they're to me, they're

791
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: the hot and cold type of team. They just signed

792
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: Bud Dupree. But when they get role and they can

793
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: be that team, and you know what, if everything gets

794
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: straightened out in Houston with DeShawn, I think that. I

795
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: think you have to talk about the Texans because I'm

796
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: a huge Deshaun supporter. I think Deshaun is an amazing quarterback.

797
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: John I gotta tell you, I really like the things

798
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: they're doing the last few days. I do. I think

799
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: the Texans are building their roster the right way. Now.

800
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: They're not quite up there with those teams that were mentioned,

801
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: but I think they can do some nice things. And

802
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: then finally, you have to remember Cleveland obviously, because the

803
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: way they can run the ball. They are adding some

804
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: parts on defense, but I still question if they can

805
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: really win if they have to throw in a shootout

806
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. I know they did that a

807
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: couple of times last year, but especially question what they

808
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: are on defense, even with a couple editions. I think

809
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: the wildest wild card that I can think of in

810
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: the conference. When I just think about what is necessary

811
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs, I think you've got to have

812
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: that dynamic piece. I think the wildest the wild Cards

813
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Yeah. Now, with Brandon Staley going there as

814
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: head coach, you never know how he's gonna be his

815
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: head coach. But another defense is going to get a

816
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: kick in the backside. And if the Chargers could ever

817
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: finish games, they could ever finished games, maybe ten and

818
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: six to eleven and five. And with Justin Herbert showing

819
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: what he can do. Man, there's a possibility just to

820
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: Herbert throwing to Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, there's a possibility.

821
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: They signed Corey Linsley in free agency, Joey Bosa on

822
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: the and then they've got pieces. But gosh, they can

823
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: just shoot themselves in the foot. I'm curious what Brandon

824
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: Staley means for them from a stability standpoint. To me,

825
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers of the wildness of the wild Cards, I

826
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. I think the Chargers, you

827
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: know what, I should have brought him up when I

828
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: did before. But I'll tell you this, if the Bills

829
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: lose in the second round of the Ravens. Brian Dable

830
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: is the head coach of the Chargers. The next day,

831
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: but because the Bills won, Yeah, I believe firmly that

832
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: the Chargers did not want to wait at least another

833
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: week for Brian Dable. Their owner said, you know what,

834
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: I got a guy here. I can't wait. I gotta

835
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: get my program in place. They hired Brandon Staley. And look,

836
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: maybe brand Staley's gonna be a great coach. I'm not

837
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: saying that at all. It's not an indictment on him whatsoever.

838
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: But Brian Dable was earmarks for that job. Their GM,

839
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: Tom Telesco. People might not know this. Him and Brian

840
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: Dable went to high school together here in Buffalo. I mean,

841
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: like to me, like that was a job. And can

842
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: you imagine after what Dabele did with Josh Allen, for

843
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: him to go and get just his hands on Justin

844
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: Herbert with a ready made roster, I think they would

845
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: have been So I agree with you, the Wildcare might

846
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: be the coach right there. To be quite honest with you, yeah,

847
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: no doubt. I don't think there's any question with that.

848
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: So basically what you're saying is Toron Johnson kept Brian

849
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: Dabele from getting a job. I think so. Yes. Okay,

850
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: so it is March Madness and you're in Buffalo. You

851
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: follow all sports, you even follow hockey savers who've got

852
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: a strong connection with the Bills for one major reason.

853
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: But I've got to ask you, you're about a well

854
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: bracket you have set up. So you merging the basketball

855
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: and football worlds. Yep, the greatest it's the greatest plays

856
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: in Bill's history. Correct, No, it's just from twenty twenty. Oh,

857
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: just for twenty twenty. Is there any questions? Is there

858
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: any oppetition for what Ron Johnson did with that pick six?

859
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: Taron Johnson is No, Taron Johnson is the number one seed,

860
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and one yard pick six because, as you

861
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: just referenced a little bit, even though it's a play

862
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: of the year, that could be one of that is

863
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: one of the plays of the franchise history. It really is.

864
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: But you know, we go into March Madness, we go

865
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: into tournaments, john and there's always a clear number one,

866
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: there's always a betting line favorite. Oh, this team's gonna win.

867
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: Something happens, So you might as well at least have

868
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: the have it and people vote on it and things

869
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: like that. And Taron Johnson, by the way, he's on

870
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: this list twice for two pick six. He's at another

871
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: one Sunday night against Ben Roethlisberger fifty one yards. This

872
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: is a good he's a good football player. I know

873
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: you like him a lot. You know he's a good

874
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: football player. So no, this is um the top sixteen

875
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: plays of the Buffalo bill season from twenty twenty. There

876
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: were a lot of great memories, you know, it's really

877
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: nice to relive them. There's I don't see there's any

878
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: way Taron Johnson does not win the the the overall

879
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: thing here, but I would rank it up there to me.

880
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: To me there in my lifetime, there's been probably two

881
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: plays that really are maybe considered the play of the franchise,

882
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: and they both happened because of the same situation. One

883
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: is a pick six from Terren Jensen last year in

884
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: the Ravenszone. The other one Carlton Bailey in the AFC

885
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: Championship game pick six of John Elway and the Bills

886
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: WI winning the game by a touchdown and that was it,

887
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: and it was a low scoring game. To me, it's

888
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: right up there with greatest plays in franchise history. Well, brother,

889
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: I hope that we get to see each other down

890
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: on the sideline in twenty twenty one. Man, I just

891
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: get this COVID thing out. I love Bills, Mafia, I respect,

892
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: respect from Afar. Love you to death, my friend. Thank

893
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: you for your time, anytime, brother, anytime. Thank you very much,

894
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: and stay safe. Oh that's my dude right there. Sal Capaccio,

895
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: sideline reporter. All of the Buffalo Bills. Now, the Tyrod

896
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: Taylor deal occurred after I talked to Sal. I don't

897
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: know South things very highly of Taylor. So we'll get

898
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him again down the road.

899
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: All right, we gotta go around the league. So much

900
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: has happened today. I'll recap it next one at Texas woxas.

901

Speaker 1: For the most in depth coverage of your favorite team

903
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: time spin outside is never a waste. Play is a job,

904
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: and a serious one at that, and each day is

905
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: a new opportunity for adventure. At Texas Children's Hospital, we're

906

00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: we join our hometown team and hoping that in your

909
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: house play never goes out of style. Two is better

910
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: than one. How many times have you heard that one?

911
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: More than once? I bet, because it just adds up.

912
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: For example, there are two, not one, great reasons to

913
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: fill up with Chevron with Techron number one unbeatable cleaning

914
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: power a number two or maybe this should be number

915
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: one unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron quits Kron in every grade

916
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,600

991
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: think about three. I'm about three o'clock. I think it is.

992
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: I think it's four pm Eastern, three pm Central. But

993
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: I guess Sarah Taylor making it official, tweeted at six

994
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: fourteen as I was talking to Mark vandomir Eights Town. Yeah,

995
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: he's in. I love it. I really love his signing, man,

996
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: I really do. Tyrod Taylor coming to Houston one of

997
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: many things happening around the league. Not the only quarterback news,

998
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: as the Chicago Bears get a quarterback. Don't know if

999
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: he's the starter, it sounds as if he is right now.

1000
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: I've always been a big fan of Andy Dalton, and

1001
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is now the Chicago Bears. Seemingly he's the

1002
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I would assume now you'd think, Wow, the

1003
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: Bears can draft a quarterback, the sitting number twenty not

1004
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: in the greatest position, twenty or twenty one, not the

1005
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,240
Speaker 1: greatest position. To go get a quarterback at that spot,

1006
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: they'd have to trade up, and they don't really have

1007
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: a lot of trade assets. They'd have to start trading

1008
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: off personnel assets to go get up. I think I

1009
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: think you gotta get. I have in my mock draft

1010
00:49:54,120 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks going one, two, three, four, going Lawrence Fields, Lawrence Fields,

1011
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: Wilson Lance. Now that's not the way I have them

1012
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: on my mock, on my top one hundred, but just

1013
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: kind of putting teams together with quarterbacks. That's the way

1014
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: I haven't going on to the top four. So you're

1015
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to get, if you're the Bears, into the

1016
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: top ten a minimum to even sniff a rookie quarterback.

1017
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: So it might be Andy Dalton to be the starter

1018
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: there in Chicago. Now I've always been I've always been

1019
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton guy. I know Bears fans are fairly livid today,

1020
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: but Andy Dalton one year deal, as is Tyrod Taylor.

1021
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: And like I said, you have a Plan B with

1022
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: Harrod Taylor that could turn into a Plan A if

1023
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,720
Speaker 1: you need it to. If you know what I'm saying.

1024
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of good there. And

1025
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: whenever you add a veteran with the respect that Taylor

1026
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: garners throughout the league, I think it can only help you.

1027
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: So I I love seeing that throughout the AFC South.

1028
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: Things got a little crazier today. I met you what

1029
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: the Jaguars did yesterday, and I was pretty impressed with

1030
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: the Ray Robertson Harris signing. And I believe Curtis Samuel's

1031
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: also going there, although I have not yet been able

1032
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 1: to confirm that, although I saw it in a couple

1033
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: of places. If he does, wow well. Then today the

1034
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: Jags went out and signed Marvin Jones two years, fourteen

1035
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: million dollars, which is a steal for Marvin Jones. Then

1036
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: they traded for a defensive lineman, Malcolm Brown, who's with

1037
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: the Saints. And the Saints are just trading off assets,

1038
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: releasing guys because I gotta get under the cap by tomorrow.

1039
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: So they traded Malcolm Brown. They got rid of g

1040
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: Norris Jenkins, which leads me to what's going on in Tennessee.

1041
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: Because Tennessee's got to do some maneuvering. So they, as

1042
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: I met you with Mark earlier. They come my Alcolm

1043
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,479
Speaker 1: Butler a few days ago. They today cut former first

1044
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: round or Dorry Jackson. And there I think you started

1045
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: at right tackle this year because Isaiah Wilson was a mess.

1046
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, tim Kelly's brother. So those three released. But

1047
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: as soon as Genorris Jenkins got on the market, the

1048
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: Titans jumped on it. They bring the jack Rabbit to Tennessee,

1049
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: filling one spot. So Tennessee has signed bud Dupree. And

1050
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: what are their adge rusher? Why am I drawing a

1051
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: blank on the other edge drusher that they signed? This

1052
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: will drive me crazy, but they they signed another edge

1053
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: rusher who left top of my head is somebody I

1054
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: know that, Oh bud dupre Oh Denck Autrey. So they

1055
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: got dink Autrey, bud Duprie and Genors Jenkins. That's a

1056
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: big step for them in bolstering that defense. Huge However,

1057
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: the cost was couldn't resigned John ru Smith, couldn't resigned

1058
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, couldn't bring back or didn't want to bring

1059
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 1: back Dennis Kelly. You already lost Isaiah Wilson from last

1060
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: last year's draft class, which might be auditioned by subtraction.

1061
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: This is going to be an extremely important year from

1062
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel to try and get that defense right. It's

1063
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: not right right now, even with bud Dupree, Nico Autry.

1064
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: Autry's up in years a little bit. Bud Dupree's coming

1065
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: off at ACL. I'm not totally convinced the Titans they've

1066
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: got that thing licked at. Noris Jenkins. He is volatile

1067
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: and can go off at any moment. I am not

1068
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: convinced that thing is fixed at all in Tennessee. So

1069
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on that. But the Jags Marvin Jones,

1070
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown added to the mix today. I think they've

1071
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: done a whale of a job. Ray Shaan Jenkins from

1072
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: the Chargers at safety, Ray Robertson Harris up front of

1073
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: the D line, bringing in Malcolm Brown to help against

1074
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: the run, Marvin Jones at wide receiver to go with

1075
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: DJ Charles and potentially Curtis Samuel. The Jags are doing

1076
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 1: some things and I'm not very happy about it. Kens

1077
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs released running back Damian Williams. He was near the

1078
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: MVP of the Super Bowl, opted out of last year

1079
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: due to COVID. He is released and on the market.

1080
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,479
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs are trying to bolster their offensive line,

1081
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 1: and the Raiders are getting rid of offensive lineman just

1082
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: like shedding skin, just like just taking your clothes off

1083
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: to go take a shower. They're getting rid of everybody,

1084
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: including today all former All Pro Pro Bowl center Rodney Hudson,

1085
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: and it sounds as if the Chiefs could be in

1086
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: on him potentially, along with a few other teams. The

1087
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs trying to bolster that interior, but they also got

1088
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: to find two tackles because they cut Mitchell Schwartz and

1089
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: Eric Fisher. Wow. A lot of stuff going on. And

1090
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: last it is certainly not least there's one AFC South

1091
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: team apparently maybe two in the market for zach Ertz.

1092
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: Tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles makes a lot of

1093
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: sense in Indianapolis because of the tide to Carson Wentz,

1094
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: but also sounds like Jacksonville might be in the mix,

1095
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: and they've got some money to work with and they've

1096
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: got draft picks to be able to make that move

1097
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: if they have to. Zach Ertz can end up in

1098
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: the AFC South. Oh don't want that at all, all right,

1099
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: Big thanks to Mark to my man sa capaccio from
