00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,120

00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Come on? A couple inches of snow today was good.

Speaker 1: I'm over in God's country in the EU. A. You're right, yeah,

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm in, says back. That is correct. Um hey, I

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: started snowing on my way home from a pretty good

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: college basketball game last night. I saw Canisius and Niagara

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: and Niagara one by three. They're both are are desperate

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: for wins. Neither team is playing is having a great season.

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: Neither team played well last night, but because they were

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: so bad, it was pretty competitive last night. Right Niagara

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: has a team, they're they're tiny. They got playing a

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: high post, you know, usually a big guy, like a

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: five foot nine inch guy stand found line. Yeah, a

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of times. It was crazy. They don't have any

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: big men. It was crazy, but it was fun. I

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people I knew. I've I've kind

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: of checked out of the college basketball routine this year

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: because you know, Michigan is off my radar and um,

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: a couple of other issues. And uh, I got back.

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: You should tell the reason Michigan are because the Lockport coach,

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Jim John bee Line. Yes John bee Line is now

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: coaching that they He left Michigan, and that kind of

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: soured you, at least on the college. You don't have

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: a team to root for, right so now we are

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 1: kind of interested in Cleveland Cavaliers, accept that they stink,

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: right so, and I think I might go there for

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: a game in a couple of weeks. But it was

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: good to get back into it last night. See a

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: lot of the people that I know, it's always a

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: fun game at the Gallagher Center. A good crowd, not

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: a great crowd, and a competitive game. It was a

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: good win for Niagara last night. I don't know, yeah,

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean I get it. You have to watch a

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of a sport to know whether it's good or

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: bad basketball, or good or bad hockey, or good or

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: bad football. Because if it's competitive and close and you know,

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: back and forth or whatever, that's good, right right? Really yeah?

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: What makes it bad? Wills shots, a ton of miss shots.

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: I mean the Knisians shot like thirty eight percent for

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: the game, and we're just not missing layups and a

55
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: number of turnovers, just sloppy play. It wasn't a great

56
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: basketball game, but it was okay. Neither team is that talented.

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Both teams are young. Um. First time I saw Greg

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: Poulos coach Niagara, I was impressed. I think Canisius has

59
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: a better team, but Niagara hustled their way to win,

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: made the place when they had too. It was It

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: was a really good night and it started sewing on

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: my way home. That's why I get into this. I

63
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: got you and you're going to hog Oh. First of all,

64
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: you're collecting birthdays over there, what do you do when

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: you got birthday? You know this is Jeremy Kelly comes

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: in and tells us whose birthday it is? Is Ruben

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Brown's birthday today, But it's also a guy I played

Speaker 1: Lucius Sandford, the old linebacker. And it's Randy Moss's birthday. Wow,

70
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: at least it says so on social media, So I

00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: guess that's all true. But those three guys all born

00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: on the same day, Ruben Brown. We gotta get Ruben

106
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I didn't have to pay for the tickets either, but

107
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna cost me a fortune to go there.

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: No sign Jim Zane. It'll be on the Underhill tab.

109
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's where we're going. It'll be fun.

110
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: And it's two thousands night. What does that mean? It

111
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: means they're celebrating the decade of two thousand. I get that,

112
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: But what is that? I don't know? How do you dress?

113
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I was an old guy in the two thousand, I'm

114
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm an old guy now. But do you have any

115
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: clothes that you wore in the two thousand? Got a

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: c I can wear a CBS blazer, there's one. But

117
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: really the clothing is the same, right, there's nothing that

118
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: different about what is I don't know? How do you do?

119
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Somebody tweet aus and tell us what we're supposed to

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: wear for two thousands? What's different? Murph and I are

121
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: still wearing the stuff for warn eight. It's twenty years ago.

122
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Things should have changed, but they really didn't. Maybe we're

123
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: we're probably at fault. We were probably the pinnacle of fashion.

124
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: That's why we still wear the same old clothes. We

125
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: were fast, we were forward thinking that Dressers what is

126
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: And I know that the jerseys the team's got, you know,

127
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: different there, you know, But what what changed? Yeah, what's

128
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna look like? The last twenty years went like that

129
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: for us and maybe the Sabers. I was, yeah, because

130
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: it was I was a grind in the fall and winter,

131
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: because I was, you know, traveling all the time for

132
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: CBS and doing all that, and you know the voice

133
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: of the Bills. You were grinding the two. Yeah, so

134
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: what you know, I don't know. I don't know how

135
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: I would what would be different about two thousand and

136
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty that was not going on in two thousand. I

137
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm missing something, tell us. I was

138
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: a long way away, though, I remember. Would you remember

139
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: where you were when the millennial turned? When the New Millennium?

140
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: I was home. You stayed at home. I was in

141
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: a neighbor's house celebrating the New Year's and I had

142
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: to be there, yeah, you know, or trust the street.

143
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I had to work that night at Channel seven to

144
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: do the six and then I came home and celebrating

145
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: the new year with some neighbors. For some reason, we

146
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: were in Pittsburgh. I was doing an NFL game. Probably

147
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 1: the game the next day. I was doing an NFL

148
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: game and I had it was myself and all of

149
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: our children and my wife, the whole family and are

150
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: my in laws were there and we were Pittsburgh had

151
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: this big street party and stuff. So we were out

152
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: at that. I was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvan. I think clocks

153
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,120

Speaker 1: eleven fifty nine, they had a sixty second countdown, and

165
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: it was you could see it everywhere, right, that's score away.

166
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: It was really cool. So everybody knew when the year

167
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: two thousand turned over. That's a pretty nice little moment.

168
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it was three rivers, so it was

169
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,080

195
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: the way it is at other places. That's the way

196
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: it is another place. In America, we feel like you

197
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: gotta show up on time. We gotta we listen. We

198
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: told everybody we're gonna start a six olive. They and

199
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: they gotta do this in other countries, it's not quite that.

200
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: It's not always that way, and that's not cool. I

201
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: don't think, well, you think it's not, but it's their.

202
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: Their culture is different than ours. So like they it's like,

203
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: for instance, my son got married in Africa. When you want,

204
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: they'll start when they get there. I was listen. It

205
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: was incredibly uncomfortable. We had this wedding started like two

206
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. The entourage we didn't even we didn't

207
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: even leave the hotel until three thirty. And they were

208
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: just like, we care, we don't need you here for

209
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: you just hold off, we're not ready. People are still

210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: getting here. So they held us off for like an

211
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: hour and a half. Of course it was a nine

212
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: hour ceremony, but still here. You go right there late

213
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't spend, but it was. It's not always.

214
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: See I panic when I'm not there on time. I

215
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it either. I'm i'm.

216
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that's an American thing, though here's and I'm

217
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: frequently here's an etiquette etiquette question. When you're gonna be

218
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: late fifteen minutes, maybe ten fifteen minutes, you call ahead

219
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: and say I text, I'm gonna be late. I text right,

220
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: And does that make it better? Yes? Makes me feel better,

221
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: But it depends on how early it text. Like if

222
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: it's three hours before and say hey it Like if

223
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: it's one o'clock and say hey, at five o'clock, I

224
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: might be fifteen minutes late. That's that's perfectly. Usually I'm

225
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: on the way there and I look at the clock

226
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: and say, oh, shoot, that's fine. I do that too,

227
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's I think. I think you nailed it.

228
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: It makes you feel better. I don't know if it

229
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: makes the person. It depends on the it depends what

230
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: you're doing. I mean, if they got a party of

231
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: a thousand people, like, I don't care if you're fifteen minutes.

232
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: If they're having dinner with you at the restaurant and

233
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: they're waiting on you, at least they say, okay, cool,

234
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,120

Speaker 1: and there's still we got got People are churning out

317
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: articles constantly about free agency in Jamis Field dead period,

318
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston's lasic eye surgery. What, oh my gosh, that

319
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: was a straight line for fifty punch lines, thirty interceptions.

320
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Of course he needs lasic eye surgery. He needs more

321
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: than that. Who was a Mike Tanier that had the

322

00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,240

328
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: couple of so those are the guests today and our

329
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: Twitter question today, and you are the proud author of

330
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: today's Twitter Steve Let's well, it was a collaborative effort,

331
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: because I had nothing to say about collaborative between me

332
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: and Jay Harris. What should the Bill's draft philosophy be

333
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty? It is hold on now. I gotta

334
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: go find it now because I don't really keep it

335
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: at my finger. You wrote it and you walked away

336
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: from him. I did, Here we go, thank you at

337
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: twenty Here we go, stay at twenty two and get

338
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: the best player available. Thirty eight and a half percent

339
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: of you are saying that stay at twenty two and

340
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: get a position of need. Hopefully it would be the

341
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: best player available, but no question, it might be a reach.

342
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: Trade up and get a difference maker, no matter what

343
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: the cost. Really I did, I took that out, But

344
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: that twenty percent of you say to do that and

345
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: trade a mid round picks for more early picks to

346
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: see if you can get guys who you know can contribute.

347
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Twenty percent of you say that pretty good Twitter pull there, Murph.

348
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Look at that thirty eight and a half percent, just

349
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: stay pat and get the best player available. Then eighteen

350
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: percent say, stay and get a position of need, twenty

351
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: percent say trade up, and twenty percent say trade other

352
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: picks to get higher. That's a pretty good Twitter poll

353
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, I'm just thinking about it because here's

354
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: the thing. If you if you just take a position

355
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: of need, and this is the big quandary that you

356
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: always get in at when you're drafting. If you stay

357
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: at the twenty second pick of the NFL draft and

358
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: you take a position like, for instance, the Bill's take

359
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: an edge rusher or they take a wide receiver, it's

360
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna be one or two things, one of two things.

361
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: Mostly it's gonna be one thing. You're gonna take a

362
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: guy that you could have gotten at thirty or in

363
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: the second round, and you reach for the guy because

364
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: you need a guy at that spot. And you get

365
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: a guy at twenty two that you really need at

366
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: a position, and everybody else had him as a third

367
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: round pick. That's the trouble you cause yourself by staying

368
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: at twenty two that even an option, nobody would nobody

369
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: themes do it all the time. They or what will

370
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: happen is I'll just say he's the best player at

371
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: that position that we need. Obviously, they're going to take

372
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: the best player at that position. But you know they can.

373
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: I see those Twitter results again, anybody who voted for

374
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: that the way you just described it, that's a foolish move,

375
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: right right. But the problem is that twenty two get

376
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: positioned of need. Eighteen percent of the folks think you

377
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: should do that. Yeah, and then when you think only

378
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: thirty and thirty eight percent say get the best player available. Well,

379
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: what if this player at twenty two is a center

380
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: and you've got a guy he can't beat out right, Yeah,

381
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: I guess typically there'll be a couple of guys right

382
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: in the same neighborhood. Well, then he's not you're not

383
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: taking the best player of it. What if there's no

384
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: absolute this is the best player available and there's no dispute. No,

385
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: there's always a dispute, right, there's always Well, that's where

386
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: you get into the gray area, and that's when teams

387
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: start spinning it. After the fact. You know, you get

388
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: a trade or trade up and get a difference maker,

389
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: And well I get traded up and getting a difference maker.

390
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: So you go from twenty two, you take your number,

391
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: you're one, you're three, and you're four, or are three

392
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: and four? Option three and four they're the same thing.

393
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: Not quite. Let's see him again. Trade get a difference maker,

394
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: no matter the cost. Right trade mid round picks for

395
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: additional early trade. And they didn't put. They didn't put,

396
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: no matter the cost. But here's the thing. See that

397
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: the seed options trade up and get a difference maker.

398
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: And the trouble with that is, what if you had

399
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: to take a trade this year's one, this year's two,

400
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: next year's one, and next year's two to move up

401
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: eight spots and you get a good spot, you get

402
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: a good guy. You get a Tremaine Edmonds, or you

403
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: get a Devin Singletary or somebody like that, or Joey Bosa.

404
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, you get a guy who's who's going to

405
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: be dominant. But you have to give up four other players,

406
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: three other opportunities to do it. And this is and

407
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you what do you and we should

408
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: put this and write this down. Uh, I am for

409
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow's Twitter poll just think day and I know, but

410
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: how good have the Bills drafted? You know? Do you

411
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: trust him? Since swim, since Brandon being and Sean McDermot

412
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: have been doing They've done, Brandon's done two drafts. McBean

413
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: mcdermot's done three. I've been a part of three of them.

414
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: I think they drafted well. Yeah, so do you just

415
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: trust them? Say hey, we'll just take the nine picks,

416
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: because out of those nine guys this last draft, man,

417
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: they got a ton of good guys. Yeah. They have

418
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: traded up though in right, three drafts, right, but they

419
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: didn't do it all the time, right, right, And I

420
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: get it, you want to stay fluid. Moved up to

421
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: get even last year, to get them Cody Ford a

422
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: little bit there. Yeah, they've been white, Tremaine Edmonds, Josh

423
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, Dawson Knox. I mean that got some guy

424
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: Matt Milano in a fifth round. So do you do

425
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: you say, artists, I trust our guys. Let's keep all

426
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: nine of the picks we got in this draft and

427
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: just trust that even in the sixth and seventh rounds

428
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna get some guys. Because remember we had two

429
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: receivers last in was it Ray Ray McLeod and Austin Prole. Yeah, okay,

430
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: both those guys. Both those guys were off the team

431
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: for a minute. I think Ray Ray's back in the

432
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: fold as a practice squad guy, you know, I mean

433
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to find guys that can contribute when you're

434
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: going in the You got five picks in the last

435
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: two rounds. Yeah, so, and here the bills with the

436
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: list is what one pick in the fourth, two picks

437
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: in the fifth, three picks in the sixth. Maybe you

438
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: don't want to just sit there with you know, those

439
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: six picks in the fourth, fifth, and sixth round. Maybe

440
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: you want to move up. We got no seventh round pick. Yeah,

441
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll miss them right, And I

442
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: don't know if Brownie has pointed this out a couple

443
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Yeah, the opportunity for the second or

444
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: third sixth round pick or the second fifth round pick

445
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: to make the roster is diminished this year because they've

446
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: drafted well. Because so maybe you move guys, you move up.

447
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: You use those to move around the draft a little bit,

448
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: move around the second or the third, or even the

449
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: first round if you can. So say that, you say

450
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: you keep your first, second, third round, and you got

451
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: the fourth rounder, two fifths and the six that's six

452
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: picks that are fourth round er later six picks, do

453
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: you a bundle them and get up into the first

454
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: A bundle them and then trade your twenty second pick

455
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: the first round with those six picks, like seven picks,

456
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: and you go up higher into the first round if

457
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: you can maybe, yeah, if there's somebody you really like

00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: on how high too. You're at twenty two. You're not

460
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it to move up to eighteen, right, I

461
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: don't know how much farther you can move. You're giving

462
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: people unders well, they get a they get a twenty

463
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: second pick, right, and they get the six picks in

464
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: the last half of the round. You know, how high

465
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: depends who who is it and how hi are you

466
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna move? Yeah, i'd move up inside the top ten

467
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: with that, right if you could. I don't know if

468
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: you can with seven picks. Yeah, I don't know if

469
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: you can. And I don't know. I don't know. That's

470
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: the that's the key. But but that's what this whole

471
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: Twitter poll is about. What's your philosophy? And I and

472
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: I know too, I saw one really good one yesterday

473
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: in response to our Twitter poll yesterday. Listen, just trust

474
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: this guy, trust the process, and that's how we're gonna

475
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: that's about our um poll. It's gonna be tomorrow. You

476
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: know how how much you trust these guys to you know,

477
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: do you want them just have a bunch of picks

478
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: because soon you know they're gonna hit on the same percentage,

479
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: even if most of them are down low in the draft.

480
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. If I don't think so,

481
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather have trade those six picks for like two thirds, right,

482
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: I would if you could, if you could do it. Yeah,

483
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can, if the value is there,

484
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: And would you trade some of the players that you

485
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: like here on your own squad in addition to those picks?

486
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: You know, the draft is two months away. We got

487
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: a long conversation coming up. Yeah, we do. It's endless though,

507
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: You got something to say, Nah, It's right, Eric, He's

508
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: got it. He says, I'd rather have an extra second

509
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: or third than a bunch of fifth and sixth. We

510
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: need talent more than depth at this point, I don't

511
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: care talent more than depth, Huh. I mean depth maybe

512
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: all you can get. Well, if you make a move,

513
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: we're good. When we got we're a ten win team.

514
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Eric is pointed much more are in a much more

515
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: articulate manner. He's pointed out what you and I have

516
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: been talking about for the last five minutes. Whether they

517
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: have an extra second or third who can make any

518
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: eat immediate impact than a bunch of fifth and six rounders.

519
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Higher picks are more probable to contribute just because they're bigger, stronger, faster,

520
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: can jump higher, They're just bigger physical specimens. That's why

521
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: these gout and say what you want. That's why scouts

522
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: go out and look at these guys. That's why at

523
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: the combine, we've all seen the picture of Tom Brady

524
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: a thousand times. You're standing there in your gym shorts.

525
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: They want to get their eyes on this guy. What's

526
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: he looked like getting off the bus in a suit?

527
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: Forget about what he looks like in a in a uniform.

528
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: What's that guy look as he an NFL body? I

529
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: want to look at and see. And then they get

530
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: him out and run him around and see and that

531
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: turns heads and get them drafted in the sixth round, right,

532
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: it does. That's what gets gets you drafted in the

533
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: sixth round. Because I'll tell you what you walk out.

534
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Because I've told the story a thousand times. I had

535
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: no trouble exceeding expectations in my career because he took

536
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: one look at me, and it's like it's like, yeah,

537
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: whose little brother is that guy? Like, why are you

538
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: in the locker room on game day? Right? They didn't

539
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: think I was even a player, so I could. I

540
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: could always exceed expectations because the bar was really low.

541
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: The bar gets really high when you see these guys

542
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: come in from all around the country and they walk

543
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: in and they're doing verticals and they're walking around. They

544
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: looked like pro athletes. They get invited to this thing

545
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: because they're impressive and the out scouts want to see them.

546
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: Were you motivated by that when you played? Oh? Sure,

547
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: that really wasn't I didn't have a chip on my

548
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: shoulder because I lived like that. I was a you know,

549
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: we're sorry. I was as young as of four brothers.

550
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: I grew up being that kid, you know, and just

551
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: saying I just not caring what you thought because I knew,

552
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: you know, I could, and I knew I was limited

553
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: when I was coming up through the ranks in college,

554
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: and I worked really hard at getting strong enough. I

555
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: thought that was my whole thing. I knew I was fast,

556
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: but I had to get I waited a buck forty

557
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: five as a freshman in college, right right, I mean,

558
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: and I was a little scrawny white kid from a

559
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: farming community, from no place right from the field. I

560
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: was a hay seed, so I knew what I looked.

561
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: So I knew I had to make myself look as

562
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: strong and as thick as I could to even just

563
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: get past the stiff arm like the coach. They wouldnt

564
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: even let me run, let alone do it. So I

565
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: started some. I went to Junior Community College, We're out,

566
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: got wrecked in and put together some numbers there and

567
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: some film, and that got me to the point where

568
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: they saw me on film. Then they could got me

569
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: to the point where they'd get past, you know, taking

570
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: one look at me and going please anybody, And even

571
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: that it didn't anybody who aside Northwestern give you a

572
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: second look. Northern Iowa, Okay, Western Kentucky. And very late

573
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: after I decided to go to Northwestern, very late, I

574
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: got a call from cal But that was when Joe

575
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Capp had just gotten hired as their head coach, and

576
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: they did they were just looking for bodies, you know,

577
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm already I said, I don't

578
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: why we're off on a tangent here, Why did you

579
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: choose Northwestern? Highest level Okay, Big ten highest level because

580
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: Northern Iowa was in you know, it was a it

581
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: might I don't know if they're Division one, they might

582
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: be Division I can't even remember now. But they played

583
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: in wars up in up in Waterloo, Iowa. And then

584
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Bryce Pop Okay and Kurt Warner made him Yeah, and

585
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: then Western Kentucky, Western Kentucky down the Hilltoppers, Yeah and um,

586
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: and I would have gone there and played. But I

587
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to play in the Big Ten, you know,

588
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: in Michigan, Ohio State playing the Horseshoe, playing the Big House.

589
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: I was injured both I never got to play. But

590
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: I played against him at home, but I never got

591
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: a chance to play him on the road. So yeah,

592
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: that's why I went there. And I've I had NFL

593
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: scouts come in. They'd get into town, and that's it

594
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: was different back then. I never got invited to the combine.

595
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: I'd get the word on a Friday and say, hey,

596
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, this coming week, they're going to come in

604
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: with other Northwestern potential pros most of the time? Yea,

605
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: most of the time. But you could tell when they

606
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: got to look at you, they were like, no way,

607
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: I tested really well. Yeah, And they would have me

608
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: run it again to make sure they weren't and again

609
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: and again. What a great story this is. Did you

610
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: ever ask the Houston Texans why they drafted you in

611
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: the seventh round, ninth round? Did you ever ask any

612
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: who was responsible for that pick? Bill Bell was the

613
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: scouts name. I believe I got his name right, And

614
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you it might have been because

615
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: they had Hugh Campbell as their head coach, and they

616
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: had hired Hugh Campbell from the Canadian Football League and

617
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: they were used to seeing guys like me, okay they

618
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: could play, and they weren't as adverse to it. And

619
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: they were, and they they drafted three guys my year

620
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: that we were all just alike, was me, Micah Coup

621
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: and Bill Willie Drewy, who went on to have a

622
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: nice nine year career too for around the league. So yeah,

623
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: there were all three and we were all alike. We

624
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: were all short guys that were fast. What a great story.

625
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: Well just listen to this all day. Yeah, seriously, the

626

628
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: have you written a book? I know you've written a book,

629
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: but it was it was stories about the team. Yeah,

653
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,959

Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What do

655
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: you think the Bills approach should be in the draft?

656
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: What should be the Bills draft philosophy in twenty twenty?

657
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: We give you a couple of options on the Twitter poll.

658
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: You can let us know what you think of those options.

659
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: Let's check it right now. What should the Bills draft

660
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: philosophy be in twenty twenty? Well, most of you and

661
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a pretty even fight. But most of you,

662
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent say you should stay at twenty two

663
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: get the best player available. That makes sense. Next, twenty

664
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: three percent of you say you should trade mid round

665
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: picks for additional early round picks. That makes sense as well.

666
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Twenty percent say you should stay at twenty two and

667
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: distract position of need. Twenty percent you should trade up

668
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: and try to get a difference maker. Let's know what

669
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: you think. The phone lines open eight oh three five

670
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two.

671
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: You got something to say. It's weird man picking at

672
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: twenty two like we are. It's unusual. Yeah, I mean

673
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: it's a sign of the team obviously getting a lot

674
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: better than It's hard to imagine you getting the exact

675
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: guy you want at twenty two, right, Yeah, you can't

676
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: count out. There's twenty people going yea, and plus somebody

677
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: might trade in from from left field and get it.

678
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: So you gotta the philosophy this year for this team

679
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: is completely different. I mean, certainly they want to maximize

680
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: the picks they've gotten, package them and get the guys

681
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: and maybe get a chance to trade up and they'll

682
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: move around if and this will happen, because we don't

683
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: even know which guys they like. You know, there's gonna

684
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: be somebody they like it. And you know this too,

685
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: we've seen this in the last couple of years too.

686
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: Don't forget through free agency. They're gonna get to a

687
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: spot where they don't have what they've called a positional emergency.

688
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to take. They're not gonna be

689
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: as needy as they seem to be right at this minute.

690
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: Right they're gonna sign. They're gonna sign some some veteran

691
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers. They're gonna sign some offensive linem they're gonna

692
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: sign some defensive lineman. They're gonna sign the edge rushers

693
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: and all these guys. They're gonna sign some of these

694
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: guys and maybe some names we recognize. But even so,

695
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and get to a spot where if

696
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: it is if it is a center or a guard

697
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: or whatever, whatever, they can pick pick the guy. If

698
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: if it's a safety, they can take the best safety

699
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: off the board. They can. If it's a you know,

700
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker, they can do you know whatever, some

701
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: of these positions where we think we're pretty solid in,

702
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: they still may take that guy knowing he's going to

703
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: be a really good pro So free agency and the

704
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of that are gonna tell us

705
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: a lot about you know, at least about more about

706
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: the process, about them getting to a place where they

707
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: don't have any position of need anymore. They're gonna have

708
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of wide receiver and I think a couple

709
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: of wide receivers probably that we're gonna say, oh, I

710
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know, that guy's not bad. Let's see. You know,

711
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: he may not be aj Green or or Julio Jones

712
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: or DeAndre Hopkins, but I've seen that guy play pretty well,

713
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. I mean, what happens if

714
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: they get a Stefan Diggs, you know, it's like, hey,

715
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, home run that kind of thing. Or what

716
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: happens if they get Chris Jones from the Chiefs, you

717
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: know as an edge rusher. It's like, hey, there we go.

718
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: We're on it now. You know, some of these guys,

719
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on here, and we're

720
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: we don't even know what the team's gonna look like

721
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: in you know, two weeks after free agency opens up.

722
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: So I think the philosophy is just what it's always been.

723
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: Get to a place where you can take the best

724
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: player left on the board, no matter who it is, right,

725
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: that's I think that's the goal. Yeah, I agree, because

726
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: then you feel you still feel good about your roster. Yeah,

727
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: I agree. I think that's what they would aim for.

728
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: Whether they can do that. As another story, take some

729
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: phone calls here. Let's go to Nick in Depew. Hello, Nick,

730
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this go ahead, you're on

731
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: the air. Hi, how you guys doing today? Real good?

732
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. I just wanted to say, I think Brandon

733
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: Being has shown that he's a pretty good evaluator of talent.

734
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: So I got no problem with sitting at twenty twenty

735
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: two or even moving down. And I think he's gonna

736
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: get a guy no matter where we are in the draft,

737
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: even the mid to late rounds, who's gonna come in

738
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: and at least push for a spot. He's got a

739
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: good track record of, you know, evaluating talent. Well, I

740
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: agree with you. Yeah, for the most part, I agree

741
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: with you, and I do trust Brandon Being and his

742
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: entire personnel department to uh, as Steed points out, start

743
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: the process in a month with free agents and have

744
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: a couple of the targeted free agents in mind. Maybe

745
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: not not not the top of the list, but some

746
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: good targeted free agents and then built from that. They

747
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: will know the and this is the question I'd love

748
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: to ask Brandon, But they will know the value too,

749
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: like how much do you want to spend for let's

750
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: say a receiver in the free agent market, and how

751
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: much is he worth? Maybe it's not worth what you

752
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: have to pay, and maybe you wait until the draft

753
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: to add your for your wide receiver. Right, I mean

754
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: that those are the considerations go into it. Right, Cash

755
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: is always, you know, a consideration, and it's gonna be

756
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: interesting to see, you know, where they value it and

757
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: if they're gonna and I would say this, remember this

758
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: has happened every year. Mitch Morris last year was kind

759
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: of a home run Starlow to Lelae and three two

760
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: years ago the two Safeties, poor year in Hide. Those

761
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: are kind of big deals. There was like thirty five

762
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: forty million dollars deals they signed with those guys. So

763
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple of those, one or two

764
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: of those contracts. Trent Murphy, Starlo tu Lelay and I'm

765
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: anxious to see where those guys are gonna look like.

766
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse last year made him the highest paid center

767
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: in the league. So they're willing to do that for

768
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: guys if they think they're the right guy. And but

769
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's different making Mitch Moore's the highest

770
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: paid center in the league and making your quarterback the

771
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: highest paid quarterback. I mean, you're talking about thirty million

772
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: dollars a difference there or something like that. So there's

773
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: a big number difference to park talking about positions. But

774
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: there seemed to be willing to do it if it

775
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: fits within the structure of what and accepted roster looks like.

776
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, so maybe they do need maybe they do

777
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: have a high value on a number one receiver, and

778
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: they're willing to do it. I just think it's really

779
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: intriguing and I and I've grown to I think like

780
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people haven't saying, yeah, okay, I'm starting

781
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: to trust these guys to get it right because you

782
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: see him have some success with some of their picks.

783
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: I trust them get the whole picture right if they can,

784
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: and the work hard to get it right. Here's Ryan

785
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: on the line from Toronto. Go ahead, and Ryan, you're

786
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: on the air. Great, good, good. The budget is that

787
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: how I know the Birds they want they want a

788
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Again that the twenty seconds of the draft.

789
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: As soon as the Indigos who actually want a boy,

790
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: the Bills that put it first, and Eagles also launt

791
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. US, it doesn't make sense with the

792
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: ninth six the builds AFP to pay it up to

793
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: be above the Eagles and get the best to the

794
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: best whites evers possible. And I'd hand up a limping Yeah, Ryan,

795
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: I agree. Um, there you know there are some teams

796
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: up there that would love a wide receiver and there's

797
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: a couple of wide receivers that are difference makers. Um,

798
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: how much is it gonna cost to get that guy

799
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: in the draft? Does he fit here emotionally and culturally?

800
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: And all that is? You have the right DNA And

801
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: maybe it may be true that neither one of those

802
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: top two guys that we've been talking about do that.

803
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: If because here's the thing. If you don't get the

804
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver you want, or you don't spend the money

805
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: on that or whatever whatever you do, want to spend

806
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: that money someplace where it's gonna help you win. You

807
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: got to get value for the money you spend. If

808
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: you're going to spend it, You're not. I don't think

809
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: you'll win the Super Bowl or get into the playoffs

810
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: unless you're getting value right up to how much you're spending,

811
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: and in some cases, like with a rookie quarterback contract,

812
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: you should be getting more value than that. So that's

813
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: what it's going to come down to, is how much

814
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: is it gonna take and how how they have to

815
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: jump to trade up in the draft this. I know

816
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: Brandon being a Sean mcdermmot, will trade up if they

817
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: find a need to and they'll pull the trigger on it,

818
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: but they're not going to cripple themselves later on to

819
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: do it. Charlie and Buffalo is on the line. Hello Charlie, Hi,

820
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: John and Steve. How you doing this afternover? We're doing

821
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: pretty well. My opinion is I think it's a very

822
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: important thing with any team in the NFL. The drafts

823
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: players and brings free agents or even trades players here,

824
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: you have to look at their personality, how they fit

825
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: in with the organization and their attitude if they want

826
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: to play for a team like Buffalo, because I think

827
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: if they go after good players, they have a good

828
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: attitude and their personality fits them. With Sean mcderman. I

829
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: think we can have some hell of a good football

830
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: players here. That's all I got to say. Okay, thank you, right,

831
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: I just yes, what I just mentioned. You got to

832
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: make sure they're the right guy. That's why they talk

833
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: to these guys. That's why they sit them down at

834
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: the combine, that's why they go to their pro days,

835
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: why they went to the Senior Bulls. They can sit

836
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: down in a little bit more off the cuff to

837
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: find out really who they are, because at this combine

838
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: it's a little difficult because they're all on right, they

839
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: all know they're being interviewed, they all know they're supposed

840
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: to impress everybody in the room. They're going to get

841
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: some questions that they maybe they didn't expect or whatever.

842
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: They got to have a response. Ready, you don't really

843
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: find out who they are at their core, or sometimes

844
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: it's too hard to do that. And you know, every

845
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: team in the league has stories about guys who wowed

846
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: him in the interview process and then turned out, you know,

847
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: turned out to be bricks. So yeah, it's hard to do,

848
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: but you're right, it's an enormously important aspect of this

849
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: combine and this whole scouting process is to find out

850
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: and if you can't anticipate what they're going to be

851
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: like as a pro football player instead of a college

852
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: football player, because there's a big difference. Thanks you for

853
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: your call. We got a breakcre We're coming back with more.

854
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: One Go Slide presented by Kalida Health from the Seneca Studio.

855
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Welcome Back, One Goes Live,

856
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Taser. We got that brown coming in

857
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: from w r octv Ian Rochester in a couple of minutes,

858
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: coming on the line with us, and then we'll talk

859
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: about the free agency and we'll talk about big offseason

860
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: stories with the writer from the athletic dot com sheel Kapedia.

861
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: Now I've said it the same way and nobody's correcting me.

862
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's right. That's the right way. You're assuming

863
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: anybody in this building knows. I'm assuming somebody's listening. I

864
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: guess that's the biggest assumption, right. Usually people are quick

865
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: to correct. Yeah, that's true. Our Twitter poll today is

866
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: an interesting one. What should the Bill's draft philosophy be?

867
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: If you have thoughts on that, give us a call.

868
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,520

871
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: the new head coach of the Washington Redskins. I've often

872
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: wondered what you're supposed to do with this stuff if

873
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: you're a coach or somebody and you get changed, if

874
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: you lead that team, go somewhere else. Rondover is going

875
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: to have a charity yard sale for all of us

876

Speaker 1: old Panthers stuff. Now you know how much of these clothes,

877
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: this clothing we get. You mentioned how much a coach

878
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: gets after how many years was he there? Like eight years,

879
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: seventy years, Scott, He's got enough for a yards It's

880
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: a great idea, right. Plus it's it's like a collector's idea.

881
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: If it's not just you're going to buy a a

882
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: Bills pull over or Carolina tan Panthers. That's that's a

883
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: frame it. You said this head coach Warren, right, and

Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. Yeah, that was a game I wore that.

887
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: He's probably making it right. But either way, Yeah, you

888
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: can go back and get pictures of him in it. Yeah,

889
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: you frame it right, put it in your man cave,

890
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's weird. He's gonna if he's gonna

Speaker 1: I got a lot of that stuff. Yeah, it's good.

901
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: It is. When you're a coach, you sign up for

902
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: that life. I mean, I had long conversations with my guy.

908
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: know that then he's back with the Colts as their

909
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: head coach. And all the gear he gets for that stuff,

910
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: what did you do with it? I have no idea.

911
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea. You know, recycling, what do you

912
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: do with you know, give it back to the team.

913
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. For the next guy, I don't know.

914
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: But it's you sign up for that lifestyle as a coach,

915
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: and you're lucky if you can get a one decade

916
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: out of a play out of one stop. You know,

917
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: it's just the way life is that in that industry.

918
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Another news it him and this happened the other day.

919
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin, Hall of Famer, famous Cowboys wide receiver. He's

920
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: been talking. Everybody's got the inside track on what this

921
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: team's doing, that team is doing. Michael Irvin obviously feels

922
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: like he knows what the Cowboys are doing. He told

923
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: people that the Cowboys are going to trade Dak Prescott.

924
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: They know they're talking about trading Dak Prescott and signing

925
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. According to Michael Irvan, that's being discussed by

926
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: quote significant people. But he also came back later and

927
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: said the significant people he was talking about weren't affiliated

928
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. What does he mean significant people? I

929
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: don't significant to him. I guess the Cowboys aren't trading

930
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott from Yeah, come on, Michael, I don't know.

931
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: I listen. I like Michael Irvan, but yeah, that's he

932
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: Some of these guys. Can you have to backpedal as

933
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: soon as you say it. I mean I've been in

934
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: that spot, right, I mean you've never done Yeah. All right,

935
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: we we're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back

936

Speaker 1: He comes to you from Bill's Drive around the NFL.

941
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: Demante freeman future in Atlanta is in doubt right now,

942
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: it appears to running backs deal with the Falcons maybe

943
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: nearing an end. NFL Network reports the Falcons are considering

944
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: parting ways with Freeman less than halfway through is five

945
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: year contract extension. Sean McVeigh retooled his staff during this

946
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: past offseason. Already gone defense coordinator Wade Phillips, special teams

947
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: coordinator John Fossil, among others. In their place, the Rams

948
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: have added new offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell, defense coordinator Brandon Staley,

949
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: and special teams coordinator John van Amigo. The changes have

950
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: McVay excited about fresh new perspectives in his building. The

951
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: Rams finished nine and seven last year. Speculation surrounding the

952
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: future of quarterback Matthew Stafford and Detroit has percolated since

953
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: the offseason began. Wednesday night a report from a Detroit

954
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: television station that trade talks involving the quarterback have been

955
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: underway for a couple of weeks. The Lions pounced this

956
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: morning to reject that report one false. General manager Bob

957
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: Quinn wrote in a text message to a reporter at

958
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: the Detroit Free Press. Former quarterback Colin Kaepernick is going

959
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: to release a memoir sometime this year through a company

960
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: he founded called Kaepernick Publishing. According to a statement released

961
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: by the publisher, the memoir will share the life experiences

962
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: that led Kaepernick to risk his career as a quarterback

963
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: in one silent active protest. Nick Kissario is going to

964
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: stay in New England after the Houston Texans put the

965
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: restroomors that he may had to the Houston Texans. They

966
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: made general manager Bruce or Bill O'Brien the general manager

Speaker 1: on the line with us. Hello, Thad, good to see

983
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: how you been. Hey guys, how you doing? Happy Ellie

984
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Valentine's Data Buffalo Bill's favorite couple. Yeah, there you go.

985
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: You don't know, it's very well? Yeah yeah, So what

986
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: do you think? What's what's if you're Brandon being impersonating,

987
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: what's on the front of your stove right now? What

988
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: are you looking at? I think, you know, considering what

989
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: I want to do with the guys I have is

990
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: the first thing I'm thinking about right now. Do I

991
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: want to sign Trade White right this second? You know,

992
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: maybe what's my plan with Josh Allen down the road?

993
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I have my internal ducks

994
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: in a row before i'm I'm looking outside. But when

995
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: it comes to free agency, you know, the thing that

996
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: I think the Bills can really make an impact this

997
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: year is with the pass rusher. I think there's a

998
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: pretty elite group of pass rushers available in free agency

999
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: and a group that can, you know, make you elite

1000
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: in that spot. I think it's hard to find elite

1001
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: players when it comes to free agency. Guys who are

1002
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: elite don't make it the free agency because they're elite.

1003
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: And I think the Bills have an opportunity with that

1004
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: group maybe to make an impact. And when it comes

1005
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: to signing guys off the street. So I grabbed my

1006
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: my free agent list and take me through some of

1007
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: the names you think are elite pass rusher catch you're

1008
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: looking at ed rushers, edge rushers in particular, I would think, right,

1009
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: I think in Gatway is the first one that comes

1010
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: to mind. I'm not sure he's gonna get free, and really,

1011
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of these guys are going

1012
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: to get free, but you know, he's the number one

1013
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: guy off the top of my head. You know, I

1014
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: know there's a guy like Chris Jones was available from

1015
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I don't think he really fit the Bills system,

1016
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: but I think overall, that's the position group that I

1017
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: look at. I think if you look at everything else too,

1018
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, was wide receiver or maybe offensive tackle or

1019
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: a spot where the Bills could look. I don't think

1020
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: there's as deep a group as there is potentially available

1021
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to agree rusher or pass rusher in general.

1022
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: The line with Dan Brown from w r OCTV while

1023
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about defensive lineman, can I ask you this

1024
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: set that a report from Jason lacon for that the

1025
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: Bills would put the franchise tag on Jordan Philps or

1026
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: could put the franchise tag on Jordan Phillips. I'm not

1027
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: buying that, are you, No, not one bit. It just

1028
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for a whole lot of different reasons.

1029
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, number one, you know, why are you committing

1030
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars for this year to a guy whose

1031
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: job will primarily be to take at Oliver off the field?

1032
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean at Oliver was, you know, one of the

1033
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: best players on the Bill's defense end of last year,

1034
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: A guy who you want to see continue to develop.

1035
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: They play the same position. So why am I paying

1036
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: all that money to that guy to bring at Oliver

1037
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: put him on the sidelines. And then, if you do

1038
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: want to play Jordan Phillips and at Oliver together, when

1039
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: I are playing Jordan Phillips at his second best spot.

1040
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: So again, why am I paying fifteen million dollars to

1041
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: play a guy at the spot where he's not best?

1042
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: And the third thing about this that maybe mystifies us

1043
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: here in Western New York. You know, I look at

1044
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips as a guy who had nine and a

1045
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: half sacks last year in interior defensive linemen. I mean,

1046
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: those guys are hard to find. My gut field at

1047
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: the end of the last season was that he's gonna

1048
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: get paid and probably a number, you know, well over

1049
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: eight figures. But if you look around that the national guys,

1050
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: the publications that put out you know who are the

1051
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 1: top fifty free agents, top one hundred free agents available,

1052
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips is nowhere to be found right now. Doesn't

1053
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: mean that those guys are right and I'm wrong or

1054
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: we're wrong, but I think it does mean that maybe

1055
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: Jordan phillips value is not as high as we might

1056
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: think it to be, and therefore you might not have

1057
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: to pay that guy ten million dollars to keep him

1058
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So if that's the case, why are we

1059
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: giving him a fifteen million? So on a million levels

1060
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: that that idea franchise tagging it makes no sense. But

1061
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: what about Shack Lawson. I like Shack Lawson. I think

1062
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: the Bills should. I don't want to say do whatever

1063
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: it takes, but I think Shack Lawson. Again, at the

1064
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: end of the last season, I thought Shack Lawson would

1065
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: be the less were valued player league wide, And yet

1066
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 1: I go back to those lists, you can find Shack

1067
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: Lawson somewhere in the fifties and sixties in terms of

1068
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: available free agents. So it's possible that around the league

1069
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: Shack Lowson may have higher value than Jordan Phillips, even

1070
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: though Jordan Phillips had five more sacks last year. I

1071
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: think I like the ability of Shack loss Remember, this

1072
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: is the guy who was a first round pick, so

1073
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: he had elite talent coming out of college. And maybe look,

1074
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe it took him three or four years to finally

1075
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 1: realize it. Maybe he's finally you know, he was injured

1076
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: at the start. You know, maybe wasn't it a good

1077
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: place mentally at the start. Maybe he's finally found his spot.

1078
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: And again I don't think he's going to break the bank.

1079
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: I think at the worst, you know, he's going to

1080
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: be a very solid second defensive end, a guy who

1081
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: can do a lot of different things, can defend the run,

1082
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: can get to the quarterback. So I'm a big fan

1083
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: of the Bills, like I said, doing almost whatever it

1084
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: takes keeping Shack Lawson around. And than I thought it

1085
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: was a typical understated quiet move this week when the

1086
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: Bills restructured the contract for Starlotulalay. Look we didn't talk

1087
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: about all they need to do that and they do things.

1088
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: They have a big plan in place, right, I think

1089
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: that was part of it. That is part of their

1090
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: plan and what they I don't know what they have

1091
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: in mind next, but that's part of their plan and

1092
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: what to do with some of their big contracts as

1093
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: they get ready for a free Agenciason, Right, I think

1094
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of you know, nailed a little

1095
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: bit with an understated move. And to me, I think

1096
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, you know, kind of looked at his roster

1097
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: and said, we're do I have a contract that maybe

1098
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: I can rework, you know, to everybody's benefit. Because it

1099
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: wasn't like Starr didn't get anything out of this deal.

1100
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: He got guaranteed money this year, he got injury guaranteed

1101
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: money next year. He definitely got something out of this renegotiation.

1102
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I don't think Brandon Bean after

1103
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: he made the restructure, ran into his front office that, guys,

1104
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: we got the two million, rip up the old plans.

1105
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: We're doing something totally different now, right. I mean that

1106
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: this is still a team that had a lot of

1107
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: money to work with. Stars restructure will help. But I

1108
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: think it's just Brandon Bean. You know, when you have

1109
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: a GM that is aware of the different nooks and

1110
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: crannies of his team and can find you know, a

1111
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: little benefit, a little advantage here and there that goes

1112
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: a long way, and who knows how there's two million

1113
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: will be used. But I think Brandon Bean just you know,

1114
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: looked around, saw where he thought he had an opportunity

1115
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: to make his team better and he did it. Yeah,

1116
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: you talk about some of the other names, is you know,

1117
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: we kind of forget about the players you have in

1118
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: house that are even under contract, Guys like Trent Murphy,

1119
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: Guys like Tyler Croft, Guys who maybe didn't come off

1120
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: that jump off the page statistically. Trent Murphy, you know,

1121
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: kind of people kind of looks him he's making eight

1122
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: million bucks a year but didn't have all that mini sacks.

1123
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: But you talk to the analytics people and they say, wow,

1124
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy is a really good player. When you start

1125
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: breaking down film, what about those players who on the

1126
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: surface don't jump off the page statistically. But let's remember

1127
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: all these guys contributed to one of the best defenses

1128
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. They all played a role,

1129
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: but there is still some thought about getting more value

1130
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: for what they're paying him. There's two different ways of

1131
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy. But you're right to start about talking about

1132
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: how he played last year. He was third of the

1133
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: team in tacks, third of the team and tackles for

1134
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: loss tied for fourth, I'm sorry, third on the team

1135
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: in quarterback hits tied for fourth, and tackles for a loss.

1136
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: So Trump Murphy was effective last year. Maybe not great,

1137
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: but he was effective and a good player. And for

1138
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: what it's worth, among the defensive lineman, Trent Murphy had

1139
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: the best rating from Pro Football Focus. So there's something

1140
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: he was doing right last year. But if you release

1141
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy right now, it does save you eight million

1142
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: dollars against the cap. You know, we kind of about

1143
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: the two million that started Lotula's restructure. Made eight millions

1144
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: not anything to laugh about. You know, that's a big chunk,

1145
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: you know that that's talking about. You could fill two spots.

1146
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: You could go out and maybe really have the AMMO

1147
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: to chase one of those lead pass rushers we were

1148
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: talking about before. So the beginning of the day, when

1149
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 1: it comes to how the Bills attack this free agency

1150
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: system or off season, they could do whatever they want it.

1151
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if they want to bring everybody back and

1152
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: run it back with mostly the same pieces. They can

1153
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: do that if they want, but with Trent Murphy with

1154
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, again, if you're gonna pay Shack loss in

1155
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: a decent amount of money, and I think the Bills

1156
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: are gonna have to, and maybe if you want to

1157
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: chase another Elad pass rusher, I don't know if you

1158
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: want to keep Trent Murphy's nearly ten million dollars cap

1159
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 1: at a round, So a decision to be made there.

1160
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: But did call Trent Murphy a bad player, a guy

1161
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: who can't help you? I think he just flat out

1162
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: wrong right on the line with Dead Brown, sports director

1163
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: at w ro OCTV Channel eight in Rochester eight. You

1164
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: wrote a post that's up on the internet going through

1165
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: some of these players who could be contract cuts, a

1166
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: couple of tight ends there. I want to get your

1167
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: thoughts on Lee Smith and Tyler Croft. How do you

1168
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: see them fitting in and what is there to be

1169
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: gained by the Bills if they were to let either

1170
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: one of them or both of them go. I think

1171
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: if the Bills want to go after a big game

1172
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: changer offensively tight end as a spot where they could

1173
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 1: do it, they've already talked to Greg Olson. Hunter Henry's available,

1174
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper's available. If you sign one of those guys,

1175
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you're gonna have the

1176
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: money to keep a veteran like Lee Smith around or

1177
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think more to the point, Tyler Croft,

1178
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: because releasing Croft would save the Bills five million against

1179
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: the cap He's currently got a six point six million

1180
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: dollar capit. And let's be fair, you know, last year

1181
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: Croft just wasn't very effective. Now how much the injury

1182
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: played into it, you know, who can know, But he

1183
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: wasn't the best receiving tight end of the team. That

1184
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: was Dawson Knox. He's not the best blocking tight on

1185
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: the team. That's Lee Smith. So if Tyler Croft is

1186
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: second best in every discipline a tight end can have

1187
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: for the most part, why are we giving him a

1188
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: six point six million dollar capit when you can excuse

1189
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: yourself of most of that. So I think, you know,

1190
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 1: if I were the Bills, I'd look long and hard

1191
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: about keeping Tyler Croft around, especially when there is an

1192
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 1: opportunity potentially in free agency to improve yourself. Lee Smith,

1193
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: I think is less likely the Bills can save about

1194
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: a million and a half releasing him. Lee Smith, though,

1195
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: is an excellent blocker and certainly has a whole lot

1196
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: of leadership ability. And Sean mcdermoy talks all the time

1197
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: about wanting to have a leader in each position group.

1198
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: So unless the Bills can fill a the blocking ability

1199
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: Lee Smith has and then be the leadership ability, I

1200
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: don't think Lee Smith goes. But when you look at

1201
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: this roster and credit the brand of Bean for this,

1202
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: among the guys who are most likely to be released

1203
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: for the purposes of opening up some cap room, Lee

1204
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: Smith is one of the top five or six. And

1205
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: again that's not necessarily a knock on Lee Smith, but

1206
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: he is certainly a candidate. You mentioned Hooper and Henry.

1207
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: What impact would Greg Olson's decision have in that tight

1208
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: end picture, and that's supposed to come down by the

1209
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: end of this week. I think I think of Olson

1210
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: signs with Buffalo and the Bills are out of the

1211
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: tight end market, I think Olson would fill everything you

1212
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: want to get out a tight end. You'd have a

1213
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: veteran leader in the room. You'd have a guy who

1214
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: can be an excellent pass receiver, like someone who can

1215
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: certainly mentor Dawson Knox in that part of the game.

1216
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: I think Lee Smith might hang around because I'm not

1217
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: sure how good a blocker Greg Olson is. But I

1218
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: think if Olsen comes, then Tyler Croft would almost assuredly

1219
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: be out the door for the Bills, just because you

1220
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: probably don't want to have to pay you know, both

1221
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: those guys at that position. I would love the Greg

1222
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: Olsen move. I think it'd be perfect for the Bills.

1223
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: I think you can improve the passing game, you know,

1224
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: without really losing much allis in terms of veteran ability

1225
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: and leadership that kind of thing by bringing Olson in.

1226
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: But really, wouldn't you just be trading pieces, I mean

1227
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: in terms of craft for Olsen's everything. Yes, I mean

1228
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy a better receiver, and I

1229
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: know what you're saying. I think Olsen's a better receiver.

1230
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want it now, if you want

1231
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: to be concerned about his ability to stay healthy, I

1232
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: think that's fair. You know, Granna Croft is coming off

1233
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: of a year where he missed five games, but I

1234
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: think Olson's a guy who has done it for a

1235
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: longer period of time. He had fifty catches in fourteen

1236
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: games last year, so I think he can still be

1237
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: effective and unless you're worried about him just you know,

1238
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: being over the hill and having nothing left in the tank.

1239
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: I think Olsen is an improvement over Tyler Croft. Hey,

1240
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: a couple of other names on your lists of potential cuts,

1241
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: guys who are not free agents, and I'm interested. I

1242
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: thought attended pet Marco on that list. I think they

1243
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: like to have a well, he's a good special teamer,

1244
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, but I think they

1245
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: like having a guy played that fullback wingback role and

1246
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: DeMarco does. Okay, that doesn't he? Yeah, And I think

1247
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: he was he was fine last year. I don't know

1248
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: if he was great, but I think he was certainly

1249
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: fine in that job. I think what that more is

1250
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: about is there are a decent amount of quality fullbacks

1251
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: available in free agencies. Anthony Sherman from Kansas Seas and

1252
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: number one on my list guys who could theoretically replace

1253
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: DeMarco do the things that DeMarco does, at least from

1254
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: a fullback point of view and a leadership point of view,

1255
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: and perhaps do it better or cheaper. So I don't

1256
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: think the Bills would just get rid of DeMarco to

1257
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: release fullback from their offense. I mean, they've used him

1258
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: the last two years with the offensive coording and who's

1259
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: coming back for a third year, So there will be

1260
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: a fullback in this offense. It's just a matter of

1261
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 1: is it Pat DeMarco or can they either get better

1262
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: or perhaps get cheaper and therefore more efficient at the position?

1263
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: And DeMarco's contract this year going into twenty twenty, he

1264
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: has the second biggest cap hit among all free agent

1265
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: running backs behind Kyle whatever his last name is. They

1266
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: can't pronounce it off top head. He Jan Francisco. So yeah,

1267
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: used check, thank you. So there is something to be

1268
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: discussed about, you know, do you is Pat de Marco

1269
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: worth the second best fullback contract in the NFL. It

1270
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: won't be that way by the time we get the

1271
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 1: training camp, but it'll probably still be in the top five.

1272
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 1: The Marcos effective a good leader, a guy who's loved

1273
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: in that locker room. So you know, again, when you

1274
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: put together a list of you go on the league

1275
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: and think who could teams released, you know, for contracts

1276
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: or to save some money in the cap. The Bills

1277
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: don't have that many prime candidates because you know, Brandon

1278
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: Bean's done such a good job constructing the roster so far.

1279
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: All right, next question, Let's move on to something that

1280
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: the Bills haven't had to deal with for a little while,

1281
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: particularly with Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott, and that is

1282
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: having a great player that they picked in the draft

1283
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: come up for another contract. Trey White seems to be

1284
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: the likeliest candidate, but you got to line it up

1285
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: because Jordan Poyer will be the fourth year of his

1286
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: deal will be coming up. Hide is next after that,

1287
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: of course Josh Allen, Tremaine ed. They start to line

1288
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: these guys up who seem to be near and dear

1289
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: to their heart, how are they going to handle it?

1290
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: And who's first? And how much does Trey White make

1291
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,919
Speaker 1: when he does sign? The number for Trey White's gonna

1292
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: be big and deservedly. So you know, you get an

1293
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: All Pro, you lead the league interceptions, you make a

1294
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, you know you're gonna command some cash, especially

1295
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: at a prior position like like cornerback. And I think,

1296
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: if but who's Brandon being to get out ahead of

1297
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: these as much as possible? I think if you wait

1298
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: and let someone else set the market, then you're you're

1299
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,959
Speaker 1: you're allowing yourself to have your contracts, your players deals

1300
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: being dictated by somebody else. Let's be fair. Brandon Bean's

1301
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: been a pretty good GM right to be conservative, So

1302
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: why should Brandon Being let lesser gms dictate how much

1303
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna pay his guys. If I'm Brandon Being, I'm

1304
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna try and set the market on as many of

1305
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: these guys as I can. And there's no reason to

1306
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: wait a round on Trey White right now. There's no

1307
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: questions with Trey White. He's durable, he's excellent, he can

1308
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: make plays, He's a you know, a guy who can

1309
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: create interceptions. He can create sax as we've seen this year.

1310
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: So there's no reason for the Bills not to feel

1311
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: like Trey White's a long term piece, someone that you

1312
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: can commit a whole bunch of dollars too. There might

1313
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: be more questions with some of those other guys, depending

1314
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: on which one you get to. But if I'm the

1315
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: Bills and I'm looking at Trey White what I want

1316
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: to do with him this offseason, it's sooner rather than

1317
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: later in terms of having him put pen to paper

1318
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: on a long term extension with the Brown sports director

1319
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: at Channel A w RO OCTV and Rochester overall in

1320
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: free agency than we're about a month away right March

1321
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: sixteen to eighteenth, and when free agency begins. We talked

1322
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: about this a little bit yesterday. Here are the Bills

1323
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and his rookie contract still and getting

1324
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: the team's getting better. Josh included, should they go real

1325
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: hard in free agency this year? I mean, is there

1326
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: a sense that they got to make a move in

1327
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: the next couple of years with Josh Allen on that

1328
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: rookie contract or do you think they should kind of

1329
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: play it close to the vest free agent wise? I

1330
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: think there's certainly a window that's open right now, right

1331
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: with two years left than Josh Allen before. You probably

1332
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: have to extend him going into year five. And I

1333
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: think the Bills should not be afraid to do whatever

1334
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: they feel like they need to in free agency. But

1335
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: this team's in a weird spot rosterwise to being talked

1336
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 1: about it last year. He uses free agency to fill

1337
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: in the cracks. You know you want to you want

1338
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: to take a hole and use free agency to make

1339
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: sure you plug that hole. Well, now you look at

1340
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: this roster. Where are the holes? I mean, where is

1341
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: there a problem spot on this team. Maybe right tackle,

1342
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe defensive line depending on if Shack Lawson

1343
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: or Jordan Phillips go. Maybe strong side linebacker with a

1344
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander. But even those spots, I feel like I'm

1345
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: reaching a little bit to say that's a quotes a hole.

1346
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: So now the job for the Bills is to take

1347
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: their you know, roster that's decent at worst in just

1348
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: about every spot and try and improve it and make

1349
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,439
Speaker 1: it elite. And like we said before, you don't find

1350
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: many elite guys in free agency, So I don't know

1351
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: how much benefit there's going to be to just going

1352
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: hog wild and spending a bunch of dollars in free agency.

1353
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper comes available, that's different, Yanniknaquay. Like we said before,

1354
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: that's different. But for the most part, I think, you know,

1355
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: trying to just take your eighty million, eighty two million

1356
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: free agency potentially more if you want to release some

1357
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: of the other guys and throwing it at you know,

1358
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: a group of players and saying this, we're gonna get

1359
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. You know, I don't think that's

1360
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: how it's done. The Bills are probably have to find

1361
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: those elite players, maybe at a lesser extent via trade,

1362
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: but probably through the draft. And you know, that's a

1363
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: less of an instant gratification type thing, and fans may

1364
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: not get as much excited about that as they wouldn't

1365
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: free agency. But I find the bills. I'm not afraid.

1366
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: If I see a guy who I think can make

1367
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: me elite or make me much better at a position,

1368
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna, you know, balk at too many big contracts.

1369
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend the money because once you start painting

1370
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: your quarterback, it becomes a whole lot harder to do that. Well,

1371
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: we've seen them in the last couple of years of

1372
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: free agency. They have made some significant signings of contributions. Now,

1373
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: certainly it was easier to do that on the offensive

1374
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: side of the Bowl last year because you know, nine

1375
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: new starters. They knew they were gonna have an upheaval.

1376
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: But they signed Mitch Morris, made him the highest paid

1377
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: center in the league. They signed Starlow to Lela before

1378
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: that to a fifty million dollar contract, Jordan Poor, Micah Hyde.

1379
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: You can go down the list of guys they signed

1380
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: that were significant contributors. Trent Murphy, the guys we've talked about.

1381
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: They signed guys to pretty fd deals, although they're not

1382
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: blockbuster deals. They sign them to be contributors more than stars.

1383
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: That always seems to be the way they kind of

1384
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: move in this free agency thing. So it's going to

1385
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: be interesting to see who they target for that level

1386
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: of contract for the Bills, because I have a hard

1387
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: time seeing them signing somebody to a Marcel Darius deal

1388
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: or a Mario Williams deal here in Buffalo because those

1389
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: guys aren't available. You know, those you know, the Marcel

1390
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Darius type, Not that Darius is an exact example here,

1391
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: but a guy who can be an elite player. They

1392
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: don't make it the free agency for the most part.

1393
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when you talk about significant contributors,

1394
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: that's how you get to ten and six. The Bills

1395
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: have bigger goals than ten and six, not right, I mean,

1396
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,479
Speaker 1: we're talking twelve wins, super Bowls, you know, deep playoff runs.

1397
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: You need something better than significant contributors to make that happen.

1398
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: You need elite, you need game changers, and the Bills

1399
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: may have guys that can develop into that on this team.

1400
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Devin Singletary. You know, Tremaine Edmonds, guys like that.

1401
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: Edmonds might be close. But when it comes to free

1402
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: agency or how you're building this team in the offseason,

1403
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: you're looking to go from you know here pretty good

1404
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 1: or decent up to the top, and free enche is

1405
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard spot to find it no matter

1406
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: how much money you want to spend. You know, you

1407
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: bring up a topic that spend a topic of discussion

1408
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: on our show for a couple of days. Now that um,

1409
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying stand pat but do they do they

1410
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: need a major influx of talent or should they continue

1411
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: to develop some of their really good players right now

1412
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: into really great players in the next year or two.

1413
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Can I say that they don't need a major influx

1414
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: of talent, but they need an influx of major talent?

1415
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I think they need guys that

1416
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: can be elite players, you know, like Amari Cooper, Um,

1417
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: guys that can really change games, change teams, change seasons.

1418
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: You know, on their own, they don't They don't have

1419
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys right now. Trey White is that,

1420
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Hughes has been that. I don't know

1421
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 1: if he still can be that um and that's where

1422
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: this team needs to go to. Brandon Bean's done a

1423
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: great job of constructing a team that is, at worst,

1424
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, capable at every spot, but it's it's the

1425
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: next that that's the hardest one, and that's where the

1426
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: builds are at. Yeah, I agree with you. You need

1427
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: every great team or every championship team. Teams have star players,

1428
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes those guys emerge late and a half a

1429
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: season and start to play well. You can look at

1430
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: the Giants two Super Bowl wins. Eli Manning all of

1431
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a sudden catches a little bit of fire. Their defense

1432
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and their line, their defensive line catches fire. But all

1433
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: those teams seem to have those home run hitters. And

1434
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see whether the Bills

1435
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: cultivate their own from the draft or go out and

1436
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: find one. But it has not been their mode of

1437
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: operation to get them in free agency, no matter who's available.

1438
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look look at what the Chiefs did. Look

1439
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: at how that team was built. The team that just

1440
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl drafted Pat Mhonen was drafted Tyreek Hill,

1441
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Now they brought Sammy Watkins over, you know,

1442
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: with a free agent edition, and then that's the kind

1443
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: of thing that you can do. But the primary players

1444
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: on that team, the driving players in that team, they

1445
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: were all drafted. They're all developed, you know, internally, and

1446
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: I think that's generally how you build a team. Even

1447
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,439
Speaker 1: the Niners, you know, two a different extent. They didn't

1448
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: draft Jimmy Garoppol, but they trade it for him. And

1449
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: you can do it that way too, you know, you can.

1450
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,479
Speaker 1: I think you can grab major players like we talked about,

1451
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: via trade, you know, and you want to talk about

1452
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: a trade possibility that's been thrown around Mike Evans and Tampa.

1453
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if they want to trade them.

1454
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't if I were them, but they do have

1455
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: an excellent other receiver in Chris Godwin. So if that

1456
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: guy becomes available, it's not a free agent signing, it's

1457
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: a trade. It's basically using a draft pick to grab

1458
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: a player, which is, you know, basically drafting him. But

1459
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: that's another way that you can go about finding those

1460
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: elite guys that can become Super Bowl on championship winners.

1461
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: Last thing I have for you, fan, I wonder if

1462
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you can and we count on you for this taking

1463
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the temperature of the fan base in Rochester. You're right there,

1464
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: You're the top sportscaster in Rochester. Most people, I think

1465
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: most Bills fans have a high regard for the job

1466
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: that Being in McDermott do, in a very high regard

1467
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: for the decisions that Brandon Bean has made in his

1468
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: brief tenure as a Bills GM. Right. I mean, most

1469
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: people have faith in what they're in, the direction they're going,

1470
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: and what they'll do in the next important six weeks

1471
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: of this office season. Faith is putting it mildly. I

1472
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: would put it as somewhere as a unyielding, unrelenting belief

1473
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: in everything that Brandon Being and Sean McDermott does. And

1474
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, look a lot of that has deserved. I mean,

1475
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: two playoff appearances in three years for a team that

1476
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: wasn't there in the last seventeen. You know, Brandon Being

1477
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: in two years has turned this team from you know,

1478
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: a one that has to eat fifty million and dead

1479
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: money into the cap to a team that coming off

1480
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: a playoff season has the third most space available. So

1481
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: look that there's a lot of good things that they

1482
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: have done, you know, getting this team from you know,

1483
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: a perennial also ran slash doormat to a team that's now,

1484
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, certainly a threat to make the playoffs. I

1485
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: think just about year and year out, at least last

1486
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: year and this year and certainly depending on what goes

1487
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: on over there in Foxborough, a team that could potentially

1488
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: be a division favorite next year. So look at you know,

1489
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: I think we might laugh a little bit in the

1490
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the cult like belief in Brandon being Sean McDermott. But

1491
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: it's been earned, you know, for the very most part.

1492
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I am said a couple of times this week,

1493
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: it's a different job now though it's a different team

1494
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: and a job to get to the next level, right absolutely,

1495
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: It's Look, it's in sports, every sport, every franchise, every

1496
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: type of thing. It's easiest to go from bottom of

1497
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: the barrel to respectable slash decent. You know, they good job.

1498
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: You really compete at hard. That's the easy part, the

1499
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: hard players going from that level to elite, and it

1500
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: takes a special group of guys and a special group

1501
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: of management to make that happen. Do the Bills have that?

1502
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 1: I think they have some of that, and I think

1503
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: their management is really really good. But you know, this

1504
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: is the step that is the difference between you know,

1505
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: a forgotten regime and those that you know go home

1506
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: with Vince Lombardi trophies. And the next two off seasons

1507
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: will be very telling for this group as a whole,

1508
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: both you know, the players, especially the quarterback Josh Allen

1509
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: and of course McDermott and being yeah, just before we

1510
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: let you go, one last thing, I want to ask

1511
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: you about what do you think about a seventeen game

1512
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 1: schedule for the NFL? You know, my big question about

1513
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: that is like how do you schedule it? What do

1514
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: you do with that last game? Because I think the

1515
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: NFL has done a really good job about making it

1516
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: mostly fair. You know, you play your to vision games,

1517
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: you play one division in conference, you play one division

1518
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: out of conference, You play two of the teams in

1519
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: conference and finished in the same spot you did. What

1520
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: do you do with that other game? You know, A

1521
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna make it a neutral site game so that

1522
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: no one has nine home games against some team that

1523
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: has eight. Are you gonna make it a natural rival game?

1524
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: So the Jets play the Giants and the Rams play

1525
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But what do you do with the Bills

1526
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: and teams like that. So I think there's a lot

1527
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: of questions about the seventeenth game before we get into

1528
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: is it good and healthy and safe for the players.

1529
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're gonna build an extra buye week,

1530
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: then I'd be okay with it. But one of the

1531
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: nice things about the NFL is that it is so

1532
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: well constructed right now as a league four eight divisions

1533
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: of four, you know, two conferences of sixteen? Did the

1534
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: playoffs work out good? And you throw this odd number in?

1535
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: You know, that's why everybody's schedules even numbers to make

1536
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: it fair. You know, you're making seventeen games. How do

1537
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,799
Speaker 1: you make this work? To make it fair and equitable?

1538
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: Because I guarantee you know you're gonna get teams making

1539
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 1: playoffs because they had the extra home game or you know,

1540
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: their seventeenth game was against the team that went two

1541
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 1: and fourteen and the other conference. So that's the thing

1542
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm most curious about. Hey, fan, thanks for this, good

1543
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: talking to you again. Thanks a lot, as always falls

1544
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: my pleasure to that round Sports director w r OCTV

1545
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: Channel eight in Rochester. He's on the sidelines of Bill's

1546
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: preseason games too. Sideline reporter. He's been around this team

1547
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: covering the Bills for twenty years now. He's a good,

1548
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: smart observer of what goes on here at One Bill Drive. Ye,

1549
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: and it's true. He's got some good stuff he's written

1550
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: as well, and kind of did some deep dives into

1551
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: some guys who may make some sense to move on from.

1552
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, for guys like some of the stuff he says,

1553
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: it's true, and some of the players that you think, wow,

1554
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: what are they really getting out of, Guys like Lee

1555
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Smith or a Tyler Crafty in the tight end room

1556
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: of stuff. Some of it is intangible, and we've learned

1557
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:45,480
Speaker 1: that Sean McDermott in particular places a high value on experience,

1558
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: particularly experience that can be given to younger players and

1559
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: help them in their journey to get better. One of

1560
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: the great things about this staff and this culture that

1561
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has put in place in Buffalo is the

1562
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: fact that young players almost in variably tend to get

1563
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: better week to week to week to week, and certainly

1564
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: year over year. You know, you look at players like

1565
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, even Devin Singletary and of course at Oliver

1566
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: this year, right during season he became better. Josh Allen's

1567
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: a prime example at Tremaine Edmonds, And although those guys

1568
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: were high draft picks, it's also true some of the

1569
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: younger guys. So I think that intangible that Sean McDermott

1570
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: places such a high value on it, Guys like Lee

1571
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: Smith and veterans you know, who have been around a

1572
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: long time. It does help in that and I don't

1573
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: think he's gonna say goodbye to that. So I think

1574
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna if he says goodbye to a player of

1575
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: that caliber, that you can bet that he's gonna bring

1576
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: one in. Leshaun McCoy was a great example of it.

1577
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: He had some experience and was a great guy. But

1578
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Frank Gore was a better example of it, and Leshan

1579
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: McCoy became expendables because of it. So Devin Singletary reaped

1580
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: the benefits of that. So I as much as the

1581
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 1: finances have something to say about this, and they do

1582
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: certainly place at a higher priority on some teams than others,

1583
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: I think the leadership thing is part of what makes

1584
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 1: the team better in week twelve than it was in

1585
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: Week three. Hey, we gotta breakcare. We got a pretty

1586
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,600
Speaker 1: good Twitter poll today, what should the Bills draft philosophy

1587
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: be in the upcoming year? Give us an answer to

1588
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: that question. We'll read some of the tweets. We'll definitely

1589
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: take your phone calls on the air as well. One

1590
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health from the Seneca Studio

1591
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: in Archard Park. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

1592
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. John Rourfeast, Heap Pasker here until three.

1593
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk in two o'clock with a special guest

1594
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: writer for the Athletic dot Com. His name is a

1595
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: funny one, and I've struggled with it all day, but

1596
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: I keep getting it right. Shield Kapadia, NFL writer for

1597
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: the Athletic dot Com. You've written a couple of interesting things,

1598
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 1: one about pending free agents where they rank. He's got

1599
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: a list of one hundred free agents, and he's also

1600
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: got twenty bold predictions for the twenty twenty season. Shield

1601
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,560
Speaker 1: at two o'clock got on our radar because one of

1602
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: his bold predictions is that Devin Singletary will win the

1603
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: rushing title. Yes, so that caught our attention obviously, So

1604
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna get him on and ask him about that.

1605
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 1: And all the others have keeping close track of the

1606
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: free agent market. Although you know, you gotta, you gotta

1607
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,799
Speaker 1: put him in there. But I mean, Dak Prescott, Drew Brees,

1608
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You know, I don't know if any and

1609
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of those guys are gonna

1610
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: be free agents right probably not, you're right, but they

1611
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: they are pending there, yeah, right now. And of course

1612
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is Amari Cooper looks like he might be. Uh,

1613
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: Chris Jones the Chiefs and Gockway Yannicking Gockway edge rusher

1614
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Um. You know, these guys like Chris

1615
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,799
Speaker 1: Jones are the chiefs of edge rusher, Jannicking Gockway edge rusher.

1616
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Not a fan, by the way, if Yannicking Gottway really

1617
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: why not? Don't like him, don't think he's a good guy.

1618
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: That dust up with Richie Incognito after the Bills Jacksonville

1619
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: playoff game accused Incognito of making a racial slur on

1620
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the field, and it turns out, years later never been

1621
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: really released publicly. I mean, there was no punishment for Ritchie,

1622
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: which should indicate that that was really nothing to it.

1623
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: And Gockway also had some pretty damaging things to say

1624
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: to Richie Incognito. Richie board the brought of it because

1625
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: he's Richie, because he's had that background, and it was

1626
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: just unfair and the fact that Incockway was involved in

1627
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: that not a fan. Watch him sign here and you know,

1628
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 1: sit right over there. What about what about Jadeveon Clowney.

1629
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't break the bank to sign up if he's

1630
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: if there's a bargain to be had, I'd take him.

1631
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: If you see Jadeveon Clowney walking around here any place, Okay,

1632
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Like if you watch him play and getting him down,

1633
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: I've been on field level when he's playing, and yeah, freakish, right,

1634
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: Oh he's freakish. Yeah he really is. And it's like,

1635
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: how can that guy not be dominating the whole league?

1636
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: And there's something, there's something up there that I don't

1637
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: know about, but he is really Now he commands a

1638
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: double team, no question. So he's always getting doubled. And

1639
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the guy can run. He can run. He can outrun

1640
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: me maybe on my best day ever, but he is.

1641
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 1: He's an unbelievable athlete. He was like the one or

1642
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: one or two player picked overall by the Houston Texans

1643
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: number one. I think, hey, he and you look at him,

1644
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 1: it's like, man, he is a can't miss guy. Now

1645
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: he's looking to be on his third team. On the

1646
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: topic of edge rushers, you know what name and we're

1647
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: just throwing out names there, you know what name? I

1648
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: would be somewhat interested in Robert Quinn um right. I

1649
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: just think he's a good he's a good guy. I think,

1650
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: and he's and and that means something. We gotta call

1651
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: her for ast hour talk about how he's got to

1652
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: fit the culture here he does. I just I like

1653
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 1: what I've heard about Robert Quinn, like the way he plays.

1654
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: He is again on that list of potential free agents

1655
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: in a month, and I would I would look, I

1656
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: would take a second look at Robert Quinn. Can I

1657
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:52,639

1659
01:16:55,080 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: He's an edge Rusher's two thousand nineteen performance he bet

1660
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 1: on himself. He had a four million dollars deal with

1661
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: Tampa and he led the league in sacks. Now he's

1662
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: a free agent, so he might be out of he

1663
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: might be priced out of him might be our Twitter

1666

01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: where you are. Twenty three percent say stay at twenty

1672
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: two and draft a player at a position of need. Okay,

1673
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: twenty one percent say trade some of those mid round

1674
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: picks and they have two in the fifth and three

1675
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 1: in the sixth, right, trade some of those mid round

1680
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: pole and the percentage he's got twenty three percent here,

1681
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 1: twenty one percent, they're thirty eight percent, they're eighteen and

1682
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: a half percent there. That tells you how all over

1683
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the place people are about the draft. Everybody's got their

1684
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: own way of doing it and what they want their

1685
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: team to do. And obviously people talking to us, we're all,

1686
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, talking about our team, the Bills. But the

1687
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: philosophy of what you do and why is is really

1688
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 1: fascinating to me that the problem is and this is

1689
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: why I made this this thing about this that remark

1690
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 1: just a moment ago about Shaquille Barrett from Tampa Bay,

1691
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: I said he's priced himself out of it, because when

1692
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: you get there, there's always somebody out there. The thirty

1693
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: two teams, we all sit here and say, we'll listen,

1694
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: you can't pay a pass rush your twenty four million

1695
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: bucks a year, and somebody's gonna do it. Sure, some

1696
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: team will do it. And you know, the Bills have

1697
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: just stayed so disciplined throughout the process of this three

1698
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: year deal. They built this thing up there. They've been

1699
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: acknowledged as one of the best managed rosters in cap

1700
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: space franchises in the league. They've really got to put

1701
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: together and they've done it by staying discipline. And we

1702
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: always get a call when we put questions out there.

1703
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: Somebody will call us, probably today and say I don't care.

1704
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: Get to the top of the draft and get that

1705
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver. We you know, do what it takes. Give

1706
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: this year's one, this year's two, next year's one, and

1707
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: next year's two and a player. Just get the guy, right,

1708
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: somebody's always willing to do that. Is it typical of

1709
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: the NFL and ownership or some gms? Just get the guy.

1710
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: We were we were kind of like going, yeah, I'm

1711
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: glad they did with the Jets last year about Levion Bell.

1712
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Blow all that money on a running back. We got

1713
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 1: a third rounder who will take Yeah, you know, yeah,

1714
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. And that's why you get this twitter pool.

1715
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: We got up the air all over the map, over

1716
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: the map, different philosophies on how to build a team.

1717
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet brought to you by

1718
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

1719
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: What it would be the Bill's draft philosophy in twenty twenty,

1720
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: Murcer New York says, stay at twenty two, get the

1721
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: best player available. You can grab a difference maker and

1722
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: fill positional needs. In free agency, you can grab you

1723
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: can grab a difference maker in free agency. You can

1724
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: also get one in the draft and get him at

1725
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: a much cheaper price than you can in free agency's

1726
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 1: agency always it has that connotation. When you get a

1727
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: big time guy in free agency, you always feel like

1728
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: you have to hit a home run and he yet

1729
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: to pay him. And it's hard even if the guy

1730
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: plays well for you, it's hard to say, Wow, that

1731
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: was a great deal for the team, because I mean,

1732
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: look what just happened this week. They restructured Check Lawson's contract.

1733
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: He's been okay as a as an start, he's been

1734
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: okay as an interior defensive linement for the Bills, but

1735
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: they needed to make his contract make sense and they

1736
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: had to get give him that contract to get him here.

1737
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: People don't move without a contract. That's out of whack.

1738
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: Same thing with Trent Murphy, as Thad Brown said, they

1739
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 1: may have to look at that Trent Murphy's contract and

1740
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: get that down to a more manageable alignem But if

1741
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: you don't get that contract a couple of years ago,

1742
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't come here. That's right, and it's true, and

1743
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: we gotta go down. I gotta because this conversation. We

1744
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: have ranges everywhere I can I can you think of

1745
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: one of those free agents that was like an absolute

1746
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: home run left one team went to another team hit

1747
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: a big financial home run and has absolutely, year after

1748
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: year after year, been a difference maker. I can think

1749
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: of one. Who are you thinking of? Drew Brees. Yeah, yeah,

1750
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 1: he traded or receipted free agent. He was a free

1751
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: agent from San Diego. Remember they've drafted Philip Rivers. He

1752
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: watched Drew Brees for a year and drafting Philip Rivers.

1753
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:45,639
Speaker 1: I've always said this. I covered the San Diego Charges

1754
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 1: before they drafted Philip Rivers and after, and Drew Brees

1755
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: was a different guy when they hired. When they've drafted

1756
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: somebody to take his spot, it made him into the quarterback.

1757
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: He has become a Hall of Famer because they let

1758
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: him go because they were pretty sure he couldn't play.

1759
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: And something clicked in for Drew Brees when they drafted

1760
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers behind him by just two years, and it

1761
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: changed him. It changed him, and he's reaped the benefits

1762
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: of it and won a World Championship with the New

1763
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints because of it. So there's not that many

1764
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: guys out there in free agency where you're gonna pay

1765
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: him the highest dollar to get him and he's gonna

1766
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: hit a home run for the team. Played good year

1767
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: after year for year, you can make the case Mario

1768
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: Williams played pretty well for the Bills while he was here.

1769
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: That was the one that came to mind when you

1770
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: can think about that, it's one hundred million dollars deal.

1771
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: You know it, it's hard to earn that, right, even

1772
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: by NFL standards of you know, the skewed the money

1773
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: they make it, it's hard to even earn that. He

1774
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: would have had to play at least that good. And

1775
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: there you'll get some people now it's like, I don't

1776
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: know if he really made it that much money. But

1777
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: there's one or two, you know, they're just jump jump

1778
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 1: off the page for every team, about these teams that

1779
01:22:57,880 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: go out and hit these home runs with these free

1780
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: agents and all of a sudden's like, yeah, we're a

1781
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: better team. Even the Khalil Mack trade from the Raiders.

1782
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: He had that one the first year he was there,

1783
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: twelve win season for them, and last year he was

1784
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,560
Speaker 1: He's okay, he was good last year. Let's go to

1785
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: Stephen on the tweet sheet. Steven says, very difficult to

1786
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 1: answer this question. The question is what should the Bill's

1787
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: draft Floutso we be very difficult to answer this question

1788
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. Generally I would say to stay at

1789
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 1: twenty two. But if you rank someone top ten and

1790
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: he's there at seventeen, do you trade up? If there

1791
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: are multiple players who have ranked the same, do you

1792
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 1: trade down a few comes to how you feel about

1793
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: or comes to how much you trust your draft board. Yeah,

1794
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, you mean he gets close sometimes, right,

1795
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: And you'd like to think that it's an absolute. No,

1796
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not the twenty second best player, he's

1797
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth. Well, maybe you got to take him

1798
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: at twenty two because you might not get a chance

1799
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: of him, and that that's not really a reach. I

1800
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: don't consider that a reach now I wouldn't either. And

1801
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: here's the thing as well. It becomes two you have

1802
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: like three or four guys rated higher, and you can

1803
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of trade down a couple of spots, right, Well,

1804
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: if you trade down a couple of spots, or then

1805
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: you don't trade down a couple of spots because the

1806
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: mix of the players that you have rated higher, one

1807
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: of them is a spot of need, one of them

1808
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 1: plays a spot of position of need for you. Well,

1809
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: then you might want to stay pat and hang on

1810
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: and see if you can get that guy at your

1811
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: same spot, rather than trade down hoping that that player

1812
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: that you need at the position you need falls to you.

1813
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,560
Speaker 1: All of that comes into play too, because need is

1814
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: a factor in all of this. Having and granted you've

1815
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: made the point and rightfully so, this is a roster

1816
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: that it really doesn't have holes in it. It's got dents, right, yeah, yeah,

1817
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: it's got dents in it, not these hole you know,

1818
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: we last we had like nine guys that we washed

1819
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: through here on offense this last year opening day, nine

1820
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: different guys starting on offense for this team that was

1821
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 1: Those were holes. Now the Bills kind of have dents.

1822
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Certainly there's some question marks you don't know if if

1823
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you know Shack Lawson and Jordan Phillips, those guys might

1824
01:24:57,920 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: leave a hole in your roster. I get that. But

1825
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: you've got free agency coming, and by the time this

1826
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: is over, you want to get back to the point

1827
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 1: where you maybe have some just dents or maybe you know,

1828
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,679
Speaker 1: not even that where you can pick pick the best

1829
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: player available. But you've always got someplace where you think

1830
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: you're not too sure if you're deep enough at that

1831
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: spot or you're not too sure if the guy at

1832
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: the top of the depth chart is really that good.

1833
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: You know, you can always find a need on your

1834
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: roster because there are twenty two spots you're looking at.

1835
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 1: So all that goes into the mix when you're talking

1836
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: about trading up, trading down, because if you're going to

1837
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: trade down, it's hard to do when there's a guy

1838
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: that's going to be at a position of need still

1839
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: there at your old spot. So all that goes into

1840
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: the mix. And it's and that's why this is such

1841
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 1: a you know, a wide ranging Yeah, grew every He's

1842
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,719
Speaker 1: getting pretty even responses all over the board. Kevin responds

1843
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter other he's responded to the question what should

1844
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 1: be the Bill's drafted allows to be? Kevin says, I say,

1845
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: trade back. You can get a solid wide receiver like Pittman,

1846
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: the guy from USC, and you can get another pick.

1847
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: The way the regime, this regime drafts, the more picks

1848
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 1: the better. Okay, that's when we talk about that too.

1849
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's Kevin's right, I mean we've talked about

1850
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: that a lot. Murph. This this regime has drafted really

1851
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: well and hit on a percentage of their draft picks.

1852
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: If you take that into consideration, do you give them

1853
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: more draft picks so they can hit a bigger you know,

1854
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, a bigger the same percentage

1855
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: of more draft picks is more guys that make a difference,

1856
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:29,759
Speaker 1: or do you give them a shot at better athletes

1857
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: fewer picks but higher in the draft, so you get

1858
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: better athletes, you know. Yeah, I just think the way

1859
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's draft is constructed now, with two picks, one, two, three,

1860
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: four rounds one pick each and then two in the

1861
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: fifth and three and the sixth, You're you're asking a

1862
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 1: lot to look for players out of the fifth and

1863
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: sit round, especially players to make a difference on a

1864
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 1: roster that's pretty good already. I'd like to see them convert,

1865
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, one of the fifths and maybe two six

1866
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: to move up in the third or in the second round.

1867
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: I think that might be realistic. I agree, and that too.

1868
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you put guys on the it's not just

1869
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: about the picks either. It could be some players as well,

1870
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I wouldn't want to disrupt the roster

1871
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: too much, but right I do think they do well

1872
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: with more picks. They have had a little success in

1873
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: the later rounds mixed success. I guess I'd just rather

1874
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: see a few more premium draft picks than the two

1875
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: and the fifth and three and the sixth. That's all

1876
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: because if here's what I think, if you can get

1877
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 1: more picks third round or higher with this with the

1878
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: history of this club, I think, Man, they hit on

1879
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: all those guys. You know what I mean? Yeah, you

1880
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: know one of those guys. You might hit fifty percent

1881
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: of the rest of them, but if you get them

1882
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,759
Speaker 1: inside the third round, you hit on all those guys.

1883
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 1: All those guys are actually pretty good players for this

1884
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 1: team through the three years they've been picking up. One

1885
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 1: more from the tweet sheet from Jack. I hope they

1886
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 1: stay at twenty two to get either the best wide

1887
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: receiver Leabiscus channalt wide receiver from Colorado or a pass rusher.

1888
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: But with two fifths and three to six, they don't

1889
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 1: have room for all those guys. I'd rather trade one

1890
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 1: of the fifth and get and two of the six

1891
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: to get another third, or to add a better quality

1892
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 1: of player on day two, a guy who can help

1893
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 1: us in twenty twenty exactly. That's what I was saying

1894
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 1: a minute ago. Kevin I'd like to see them, and

1895
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 1: I think they're thinking that way too. Those extra fifth

1896
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: and sixth round picks, that's draft capital more than it

1897
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 1: represents players they'll bring here. That's that's spending money. That's

1898
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 1: something you can do with. Even if it's not this year,

1899
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: it's still draft capital. It's really hard to see guys

1900
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,680
Speaker 1: they draft in the sixth and seventh rounds, even the

1901
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,600
Speaker 1: fifth rounds, coming in on the roster the way it

1902
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: is now and sticking, I mean even practice squad. You know,

1903
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I think this is becoming a really difficult team to

1904
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: hang around. And the lower the draft gets, you know,

1905
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 1: the fewer and far between the guys are capable of

1906
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: it are. So I'm kind of with you. I'd rather

1907
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,639
Speaker 1: see him get as many picks as they can inside

1908
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: the first three, maybe four rounds of this draft and

1909
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 1: go with those guys rather than picking however many it is,

1910
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 1: nine or ten guys they have nine picks, nine picks

1911
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: that they have and having three of them make it,

1912
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, ye, I'd rather have five picks and have

1913
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: four of them make it, or five picks and have

1914
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: all five of them make it. So we'll see. If

1915
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, That's That's where I'm at right now.

1916
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Take a break. It is one Bill Slide presented by

1917
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Kalaida Health from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park. This

1918
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio, one of those five time ver FeAs.

1919
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker here until three today we'll talk about free agency.

1920
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 1: We'll talk about other offseason issues, with Shilkapati of the

1921
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: Athletic Dot Com coming to them next hour. We're dealing

1922
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 1: with what the Bill Shore doing the draft, with their

1923
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,640
Speaker 1: free agency plans might be. Other teams are dealing with

1924
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: really critical decisions, including the Carolina Panthers with a new

1925
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: head coach and a quarterback coming off a pretty serious injury.

1926
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: Right Cam Newton, I mean he could barely play last

1927
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 1: year with the variety of injuries he had, and his

1928
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,879
Speaker 1: owner David Tepper or the Panthers talked about Cam Newton's

1929
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:19,760
Speaker 1: future just the other day. Where he stands right now?

1930
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Listen to this. You know, what do you think he'll

1931
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Speaker 1: be back? Listen. I'm not a doctor, you know, and

1932
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 1: I said it a million times. Is he could? Is

1933
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: he healthy? And how does he? I mean, He's not

1934
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 1: a doctor, so you know, there's a lot of different

1935
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 1: things can happen. But first is he healthy? Tell me

1936
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,679
Speaker 1: that and then we can talk. Yeah. Well, I don't

1937
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:41,680
Speaker 1: blame him for playing it close to the best. They

1938
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: don't know what they want to do. They need to

1939
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:44,680
Speaker 1: see him first. I think the plan is to have

1940
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton throw get my work out sometime in the

1941
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: month of March next month. Yeah, it foot. It was

1942
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 1: foot surgery. Yeah, and before that the year before it

1943
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:57,639
Speaker 1: was his shoulder. He's been banged up, and but before

1944
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:01,879
Speaker 1: he got banged up, he was a superstar and that's

1945
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:04,679
Speaker 1: hard to replace. And I don't know that they have anybody.

1946
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: And I think it will come down to if for me,

1947
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 1: if I was if you've got a better option than

1948
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, you go with that option. But if you

1949
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 1: want to win as many games as you can, you

1950
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 1: give yourself. You give yourself the best players there are

1951
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: to win on Cam I think is one of those guys. Um.

1952
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 1: They had a carousel at quarterback this year after he

1953
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: went out in Week two and had Liz Frank's surgery.

1954
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 1: I had Liz frank injury. When I played, it was

1955
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,640
Speaker 1: a ten week and it was like ten weeks I

1956
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 1: sat out with that. What is that on your foot.

1957
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 1: It's the bottom of the foot. It's the big joint

1958
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,400
Speaker 1: behind the ball of your foot on the same on

1959
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: the same toe, it's like the arch of your foot,

1960
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 1: the top of the arch of your foot, the middle

1961
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: of your foot, and it hurts. You can't you know,

1962
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 1: a football player can't function with a Liz Frank because

1963
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 1: you know you're you gotta run. Yeah, And I'm it's

1964
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: really gonna be interesting to see what Cam Newton does

1965
01:31:56,479 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: because there's no question his services will be highly sought after.

1966
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: The guy who's a former MVP took that team to

1967
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. He's got a lot of upside athletically,

1968
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 1: He's maybe unparalleled in the league because of his size.

1969
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:15,680
Speaker 1: Certainly Lamar Jackson can make a case for it. But

1970
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 1: let you stand those two Lamar Jackson next to Cam Newton.

1971
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton makes Lamar Jackson looked like a teeny kid

1972
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 1: for years now. Every time and they played him a

1973
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:27,519
Speaker 1: lot in preseason, they practiced against him giant every time

1974
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 1: they play him on a game. I make a point

1975
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 1: of going down and watching the pregame warm ups on

1976
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 1: the field just to see how stunt day am by

1977
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's size. He's just huge. Now Josh is Josh

1978
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 1: kind of up there with him, you know, but it's

1979
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 1: it's not the same man. Cam is just a It's

1980
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 1: like Lebron James, right he is. He's like, wow, look

1981
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: at you know, he could be anywhere not a football

1982
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 1: fielder in a uniform in you see him, He's like,

1983
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 1: that is a big and he's not just tall, he's

1984
01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: broad and he's gonna be high demand. And I don't

1985
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: you tell me you're philosophy Murphy. If I'm if I'm

1986
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers and Matt Rule comes in, I don't know

1987
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: what Matt Matt rules a clean slate, right, I mean,

1988
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. He doesn't know who's there or whatever.

1989
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: He can watch film and all that. But you gotta

1990
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: get to know, guys, are you? I mean you gotta

1991
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,559
Speaker 1: You're not moving on from Cam Newton til you've got

1992
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:24,560
Speaker 1: an option, another option, am I right? I don't know.

1993
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 1: I gotta think about that. Look, I've never been a

1994
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: fan of Cam Newton. I know it was MVP um

1995
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: and it's beyond physical ability. I just don't know that

1996
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: he is the kind of guy you want to lead

1997
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:36,680
Speaker 1: your team as a quarterback. You know, I don't know

1998
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 1: if he is the right temperament. I don't know if

1999
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 1: he has good judgment. Sometimes he has. He's done a

2000
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:46,759
Speaker 1: good job of making the transition from a athletic quarterback

2001
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 1: to more of a pocket type quarterback. But he's been

2002
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 1: hurt too. I just I'd have to think long and

2003
01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 1: hard about that. That's gonna be an interesting decision. The

2004
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 1: Panthers want to make it, and if you're gonna move

2005
01:33:57,479 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 1: away from Cam Newton, why not do it? When you

2006
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:01,559
Speaker 1: got a rookie head coach and sort of getting a reset,

2007
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 1: reboot of the team. Now it's time to do it.

2008
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: So I think long and hard about that. If you

2009
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:10,640
Speaker 1: gotta talking, you're talking from Tepper's David Tepper's point of view.

2010
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 1: He got a head coach. Let's let's clean the slate

2011
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,120
Speaker 1: form whatever if what if you're Matt Rule and you

2012
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:17,680
Speaker 1: see Cam Newton standing, they're going, man, man, you have

2013
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 1: to get over that, right. If that guy's not one

2014
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy, If that guy's not dialed into what

2015
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: you're doing, if he's not healthy, if he's not healthy,

2016
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:30,600
Speaker 1: that changes everything. It may be marginally healthy. I'm just

2017
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: saying that they including Matt Rule, I have to think

2018
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,759
Speaker 1: twice about there. I really want to put my fortunes

2019
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: in the hand of this this quarterback coming off of

2020
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 1: major injury, who's never been I mean, he's MVP, I

2021
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 1: don't dispute that, but he's never been I'm not gonna

2022
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 1: say committed. But I don't know if he's always been

2023
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: dialed into what the Panther's plan is. He's always had

2024
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: that thing, especially from the outside in yes, I'm definitely

2025
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: on the outside. It's like both of us like, I

2026
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you can need to get into costume

2027
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:00,040
Speaker 1: for your post game, you know what I mean. And

2028
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 1: he's he's got this a little bit of show off,

2029
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of show of offen him and you know,

2030
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean, so there's all of that with him, but

2031
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 1: his ability is unsurpassed. So that's up to me. Is

2032
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 1: A is an intriguing spot because he's gonna take snaps somewhere, Yeah, yeah,

2033
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: somebody somewhere, and it's going to be interesting to see

2034
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 1: how that how it shakes out in Carolina. All Right,

2035
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 1: we got a break here, two o'clock break, and we

2036
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 1: come back. We'll talk with our guest about free agency,

2037
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: about another a number of other NFL issues. Come on

2038
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: back for that. One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health

2039
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studio in Archard Park. This is Buffalo

2040
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:51,720
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Healo Bill's Radio Network. Sports date update from

2041
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. The news coming from elsewhere today. DeVante

2042
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 1: Freeman's future in Atlanta is in doubt. The running back

2043
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: with the Foulkins maybe nearing the end of his tenure

2044
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 1: with Atlanta. NFL never reports the Falcons are considering parting

2045
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,719
Speaker 1: ways with Freeman less than halfway through his contract extension

2046
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,479
Speaker 1: financials the reason for the move. Sean McVay, head coach

2047
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 1: of the Rams, has changed up his coaching staff, and

2048
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: he says he has fresh new perspectives in the building now.

2049
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 1: McVay sat down with his new coordinators, gone our Way

2050
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 1: Phillips as defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator John Fossil, replaced

2051
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 1: in part by new offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell, defensive coordinator

2052
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:33,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, and special teams coordinator John ben Amigo. The

2053
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 1: Rams were nine and seven last year. McVay says he's

2054
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 1: more rejuvenated than reinvigorated than he was in the past.

2055
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 1: Lions officials say there's absolutely no way that they're going

2056
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 1: to trade away their quarterback Matthew Stafford, despite reports in

2057
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 1: Detroit that said they were in talks to do it.

2058
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:53,440
Speaker 1: One false. According to Lions GM Bob Quinn, Colin Kaepernick's

2059
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 1: going to release a memoir sometime this year through a

2060
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: company he founded. He will tell the story of his evolution,

2061
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: he says. According to the statement, the memoir will share

2062
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 1: the life experiences that led Cabernet to risk his career

2063
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 1: as an NFL quarterback. In one silent active protest, the

2064
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 1: Patriots are keeping Nick Kisserio as their personnel guru. Yes

2065
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 1: Sarrio has been with the Patriots in a variety of

2066
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: capacities since two thousand and one. Used in Texans wanted

2067
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 1: to talk with him about being a general manager role,

2068
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,560
Speaker 1: but they instead promoted Bill O'Brien to GM. So the

2069
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Patriots agreed to terms on a contract extension with Nick Kisserio.

2070
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 1: He is the Patriots director of player Personnel, and Bill

2071
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,600
Speaker 1: Bidwell says he is open to the Cardinals appearing on

2072
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: a hard knocks They've got, of course, Kyler Murray coach

2073
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury entertaining offense legendary receiver Larry Fitzgerald. They may

2074
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 1: be the right kind of team. The host hard knocks

2098
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,679
Speaker 1: You know, I was a big fan of his coming

2099
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 1: out of college, coming into the draft last year, and

2100
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 1: then seeing what he did with the Bills last year,

2101
01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 1: or you know, once he got over those injuries. As

2102
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 1: his role expand, it averaged over five yards per carry.

2103
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 1: I you know, I thought during the second half of

2104
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 1: the season he was really one of the you know,

2105
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 1: maybe top five, top ten running backs in the NFL.

2106
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 1: And so I think, if you're looking at a guy

2107
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 1: who can really make a leap, who's going to have

2108
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: the opportunity, who's gonna have the touches. I really liked

2109
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: everything about his game, from the way he could make

2110
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 1: people miss, break tackles, his vision, all those different types

2111
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: of things. I think you've got a chance to make

2112
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty big leap in a second season. Am

2113
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 1: I wrong to hope? And it maybe even expected? The

2114
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:33,879
Speaker 1: Bills will get a complimentary running back with Devin Secretary,

2115
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 1: not that he won't be the feature back, but Frank

2116
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: Gore not likely to return. I do think they need

2117
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: someone else besides Singletary, don't they. Yeah, I think that's right.

2118
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 1: And this is sort of a really a league wide

2119
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 1: thing you're seeing. Yeah, I think even more of in

2120
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 1: recent years, whether it's two backs or three backs or

2121
01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. You definitely, you know, you

2122
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: want to compliment the first guy just so he's fresh

2123
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to December January, hopefully your team is

2124
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 1: playing at that time. But also you know, if the

2125
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: guy goes down with an injury, you don't want to

2126
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:05,960
Speaker 1: get caught. So you know, it's a matter of sort

2127
01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:09,880
Speaker 1: of resource allocation and not spending too many resources or

2128
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 1: too much money I think on that spot when you

2129
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 1: drafted a guy there last year. But yeah, I think

2130
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: that would certainly make some sense. Yeah, we're gonna ask

2131
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: you as well about some of the other bold predictions,

2132
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: and you're kind of diving into the conversations we've been

2133
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 1: having for well since the season ended, since he got

2134
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 1: really slow. He got really slow. Yeah, like the intrigue

2135
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks moving around certainly, Drew Brees is kind

2136
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 1: of taking his name out of the shuffling deck, and

2137
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: he thinks if he's gonna play, he's gonna come back

2138
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: to the New Orleans Saints. But guys like Tom Brady,

2139
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, who was just thrown onto the free agent

2140
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 1: market in this last couple of days, Andy Dalton has

2141
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: been a fresh face who's been talked about now that

2142
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals are gonna maybe trade him. How do you

2143
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: think this is all dust? Is all gonna settle? Enough?

2144
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 1: Here in Buffalo were particularly interested in Tom Brady and

2145
01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 1: what his future holds any ideas. Yeah, it's really incredible.

2146
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't remember an offseason like this where you have

2147
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 1: so many quarterbacks on the market, so many starters who

2148
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 1: could really be switching teams. So, you know, in my

2149
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: bold predictions, Tom, I'll say this, I think the most

2150
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:17,080
Speaker 1: likely scenario is that Tom Brady returns to New England,

2151
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's a given. And the scenario

2152
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 1: I painted was, you know, let's say Brady meets with

2153
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, meets with the Patriots, and Brady's going to

2154
01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: have a really strong opinion about what he thinks the

2155
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 1: Patriots need to do to kind of get back into

2156
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 1: the mix as a Super Bowl contender next season. And

2157
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 1: I think that's going to center around the guys around him,

2158
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, getting him more weapons, more playmakers, along with

2159
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: upgrading the offensive line. Now, I think there's a scenario

2160
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 1: where Belichick looks at it and says, you know, maybe

2161
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:47,240
Speaker 1: that's some of it, but you are going to be

2162
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 1: forty three years old. It's unprecedented for a starting quarterback

2163
01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: your age to kind of have a really good season,

2164
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 1: really to start, really to throw one hundred passes. You know,

2165
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: I looked it up. Guys, forty three year old er,

2166
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 1: there's been one in the history of the NFL who's

2167
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: thrown more than one hundred passes. That's Vinny Testaverdi. So

2168
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 1: Brady is really an unchartered territory. So let's say he

2169
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 1: has that conversation, he doesn't like what he hears, he

2170
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:12,800
Speaker 1: decides to test the market. The team I kind of

2171
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 1: picked for was the Las Vegas It feels we were

2172
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 1: saying that the Las Vegas Raiders. You know, their offensive

2173
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 1: line was really good last year. I think they've got

2174
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: a good supporting cast. I think they've got resources to

2175
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:26,679
Speaker 1: even upgrade that supporting cast. And I think if Brady

2176
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,519
Speaker 1: starts shopping around, and you know, March eighteen goes around

2177
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: and he hasn't resigned with the Patriots, that to me

2178
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: is kind of a team that would make some sense.

2179
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,880
Speaker 1: You got your twenty bold predictions. You got quarterbacks moving

2180
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: all over the place, and obviously we've all been we've

2181
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: all been talking about that, but talk about some of

2182
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 1: the other moves if you would please. Philip Rivers goes

2183
01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay and Cam Newton goes to Los Angeles.

2184
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,519
Speaker 1: You see quarterbacks just flying around the league. Huh yeah,

2185
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 1: well these had to be bullet predictions. You know, I

2186
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:53,560
Speaker 1: couldn't say Josh Allen is going to start for the

2187
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,519
Speaker 1: build twenty twenty. People would start throwing the bats that

2188
01:42:56,640 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 1: mean over something. So yeah, so I think we are

2189
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:02,400
Speaker 1: getting bold now now we know Rivers is not going

2190
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:05,120
Speaker 1: to be back with the Chargers. So I think certainly

2191
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 1: Tampa and Indianapolis are two teams that make them make

2192
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 1: the most sense. I could certainly see Bruce arians doing

2193
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,800
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers as kind of his next Carson Palmer. You know,

2194
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 1: that vest quarterback who maybe has a year, maybe has

2195
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: two years where you can plug him in there, very

2196
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:23,719
Speaker 1: good wide receivers and maybe they can make some type

2197
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:26,640
Speaker 1: of run and everything you hear out of Carolina, you know,

2198
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 1: it certainly does not seem like they are going to

2199
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: be committed to Cam Newton in twenty twenty. It really

2200
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:35,480
Speaker 1: feels like a situation there where they're trying to rebuild,

2201
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: get in Matt Rule, get some of his guys in there.

2202
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:40,680
Speaker 1: So I think if Cam Newton becomes available, we know

2203
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers are going to be looking for a quarterback,

2204
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:45,879
Speaker 1: we know they're going to be opening up a new stadium.

2205
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: That's a situation where I could see them kind of

2206
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: making a move bringing Cam Newton to Los Angeles and

2207
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:53,879
Speaker 1: seeing what you have there with them. What will Carolina

2208
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: do if Cam Newton vacates? And also on the line,

2209
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,840
Speaker 1: and I'm with you the unlike we event that Tom

2210
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:04,080
Speaker 1: Brady leaves New England, what did the Patriots do? Well,

2211
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of I have the same name

2212
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: in mine actually for both those spots, and you know

2213
01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:11,840
Speaker 1: that would be Teddy Bridgewater. You know, I think if

2214
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 1: you're looking at it, and if you're the Patriots and

2215
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:16,640
Speaker 1: you look at some of the names that are out there,

2216
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 1: you might just want a guy who you know as

2217
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: great and tangible. It's going to be a strong leader,

2218
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, great work ethic, all those different types of things,

2219
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. You know, he's

2220
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 1: not gonna lose the game for you. So when you

2221
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 1: look at what the Patriots defense did last year, that

2222
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,840
Speaker 1: might be a situation where maybe they grab Bridgewater, maybe

2223
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 1: they have faith in their backup Jared Stidham, or they

2224
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: draft another quarterback and they go that route. And I

2225
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 1: would expect a similar scenario for the Dancers. Now, maybe

2226
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 1: it could be Bridgewater, but I think it's someone who's

2227
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 1: kind of a bridge to the next guy. So maybe

2228
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 1: it's Andy Dalton, maybe it's Derek Carr if he becomes

2229
01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 1: available from the Raiders. Just somebody who can kind of

2230
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: come in, give you a year or two, you can

2231
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: spend it, pick on a quarterback, and you can kind

2232
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 1: of take your way to sort of the next era

2233
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 1: with your organization. So here's my favorite of all of

2234
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 1: your twenty bold predictions. Are you ready number six? The

2235
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:13,680
Speaker 1: Packers trade for Odell Beckham Junior. I'd just love to

2236
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:17,040
Speaker 1: see Rogers Aaron Rodgers try to you know, the first

2237
01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:19,439
Speaker 1: time Odell runs a wrong route or something. I think

2238
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: they'd be a lot of fun. Yeah, there's no doubt

2239
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,520
Speaker 1: in ballad it would have a chance to be explosive

2240
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 1: and it would be entertaining for all of us who

2241
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 1: talk about and write about football. But you know, I

2242
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: do think the Packers they're in this really weird spot

2243
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: where they've got a quarterback who was going to be

2244
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 1: thirty seven in December. You saw it last offseason with

2245
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: the new GM coming in, they were not afraid to

2246
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 1: be really aggressive. I mean they went out and went

2247
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 1: crazy and free agency with Zadarius Smith and Preston Smith

2248
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: and Adrian Amos. They were spending a lot of money.

2249
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 1: So now you flashed forward a year later, the quarterbacks

2250
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 1: another year older, but you still have this team that

2251
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:58,879
Speaker 1: got to the NFC title game. I wouldn't be surprised

2252
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 1: if they've made some kind of some kind of drastic

2253
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 1: move to give him some help there. With Davante Adams,

2254
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 1: they really didn't have a second player kind of step

2255
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: up in the passing game to help out Davante Adam

2256
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. So you're right, it could be sort

2257
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:15,559
Speaker 1: of an explosive combination, but it could be a combination

2258
01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 1: with some upside as well. One of the things I

2259
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,680
Speaker 1: got to ask you is about the Tennessee Titans. You

2260
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: anticipate they're going to have a hard time getting back

2261
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: to the playoffs given their great run that they had

2262
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Is that only because

2263
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 1: Derry Henry and Ryan Tannehill are question marks at this point? Yeah,

2264
01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 1: they're They're in a tough spot because if you look

2265
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 1: at it with Ryan Tannehill, you know, he was outstanding.

2266
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. He had a tremendous run

2267
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,760
Speaker 1: when he took over for Marcus Marioto. But this is

2268
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: like a ten game sample we're looking at. I mean,

2269
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 1: he completed seventy percent of his passes, averaged over nine

2270
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: yards per a time. That's been done by one other

2271
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history, Joe Montana. And I don't think

2272
01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:58,320
Speaker 1: any of us would sit here and say that Ryan

2273
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:00,760
Speaker 1: Tannehill is Joe Montana. So are you going to be

2274
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 1: able to get that type of play out of him

2275
01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 1: for another year if you use the franchise tag or

2276
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 1: if you pay up to get him a long term extension.

2277
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a little skeptical there and then Derrick

2278
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:14,479
Speaker 1: Henry again, he was fantastic, there's no doubt about it.

2279
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: But the guy had four hundred and nine touches last season.

2280
01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's one hundred and seventy nine more touches

2281
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 1: than he's ever had before in his career. So is

2282
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: he going to be able to come back carry the

2283
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:27,519
Speaker 1: ball for you like he did last year and be

2284
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 1: as effective? And then they've got, you know, some other

2285
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: question mark on the team. They're right back Jack Conklin,

2286
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 1: he's a free agent. They've got some guys on the

2287
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Logan Ryan, the cornerback who

2288
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 1: played really well, he's a free agent. So you know,

2289
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 1: if I had to pick a team that kind of

2290
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:44,720
Speaker 1: made the playoffs and made a nice run this year,

2291
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,320
Speaker 1: what think could take a step back next season? The

2292
01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:49,760
Speaker 1: Titans were the team I picked. There, Hill Capadia, the

2293
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: Athletic dot Com on the line with us Shield, I

2294
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: gotta thank you. You have put together a list of

2295
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,840
Speaker 1: the top one hundred unrestricted NFL free agents. Very ambitious,

2296
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 1: very helpful to those of us who follow the stuff.

2297
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 1: And tell me you think you see a receiver out

2298
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 1: there who would fit the bill for maybe what the

2299
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills will be looking for at the receiver market.

2300
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 1: Do you know what this is a really tough one

2301
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:12,720
Speaker 1: because the wide receiver market is not great in free

2302
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 1: agency here. I mean, you've got a guy like Robbie

2303
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:18,560
Speaker 1: Anderson from the Jet to his vertical threat. I know

2304
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 1: you guys are familiar with him from the Bills having

2305
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 1: played the Jet. You know he can certainly stretch the

2306
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:27,600
Speaker 1: field and make plays downfield. But given that it's not

2307
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 1: a great class, the guy like that, I think is

2308
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 1: going to be pretty cost With you know, Tyrrell Williams

2309
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 1: last year I think got eleven million dollars per year,

2310
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:38,160
Speaker 1: it could be in the same ballpark for Robbie Anderson,

2311
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know if that's going to

2312
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,800
Speaker 1: be the best use of resources for a team looking

2313
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 1: to add wide receiver health. So you know, I almost

2314
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 1: look at it with the Bills, with you know, the

2315
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:50,720
Speaker 1: production they got from John Brown last year, whether it

2316
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 1: be wiser to kind of hold out let the initial

2317
01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: guys sign see if there's someone you know, maybe it's

2318
01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: a veteran, maybe it's someone who becomes available via trade,

2319
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 1: and if that's not there, really just kind of addressed

2320
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 1: that meed through the draft. It's a very good class

2321
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 1: of wide receivers this year in the draft. You're not

2322
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 1: spending the same type of money on those guys. You

2323
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:13,360
Speaker 1: have them under contract for four years. I think that

2324
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 1: might be the smarter way to go for the Pilms.

2325
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you one more thing about one of

2326
01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:20,559
Speaker 1: the other teams that is a team that's picking at

2327
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 1: the top of the draft, the Cincinnati Bengals. They've got

2328
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. He's got one year left on it with

2329
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 1: seventeen point five million on it. It sounds like a

2330
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:28,760
Speaker 1: lot of money, and it is for all of us,

2331
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:32,120
Speaker 1: but for an NFL quarterback, it's really not. So he

2332
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 1: could get traded to one of these teams that is

2333
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna draft a young quarterback or who has a young

2334
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 1: quarterback as a mentor for a one year stint to

2335
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 1: finish up this contract. But it seems to me that

2336
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:50,120
Speaker 1: would be a team like Cincinnati who's thinking about trading him.

2337
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Andy Dalton, his statue and

2338
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 1: his status in Cincinnati and how Joe Burrow may fit

2339
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,640
Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, I think Joe Burrow looks like the

2340
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: kind the guy who would come in and start right away.

2341
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,559
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a guy you're gonna sit down

2342
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 1: and kind of have him be the understudy for Andy Dalton,

2343
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: just given the progress we saw in both with his

2344
01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:14,519
Speaker 1: sort of mental processing, his skills of being able to

2345
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 1: kind of avoid pressure and be really good. So I

2346
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:20,360
Speaker 1: think Burrow's going to come in for them and start

2347
01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:23,160
Speaker 1: right away, and it'll be interesting to see where Andy

2348
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:25,080
Speaker 1: Dalton goes in. You know, maybe it is a team

2349
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 1: like we talked about, if New England loses Brady, if

2350
01:50:28,240 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 1: the Panthers move on from Cam Newton. I know some

2351
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:32,960
Speaker 1: people have mentioned maybe Dalton would go to a team

2352
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,599
Speaker 1: like the Bears, where you know it's not a situation

2353
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 1: or he's going to be the most threatening guy right

2354
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,360
Speaker 1: to achrosity. At the same time, if things don't work

2355
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 1: out with you, at least have a starting caliber player

2356
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 1: right there and who can compete with them, or at

2357
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 1: least come in and get you competent play. So I

2358
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:52,680
Speaker 1: would Dalton to probably go somewhere else, and I think

2359
01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 1: Burrow is going to be able to play right away

2360
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 1: for the Bengals. Hey, he'll thanks for this good work,

2361
01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:58,800
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us. So you talk about it.

2362
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:02,679
Speaker 1: We've got to thanks for having me. Shiell Capadia, NFL

2363
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:05,879
Speaker 1: writer for the Athletic dot Com, former Eagles and Seahawks

2364
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 1: beat reporter, had a lot of good things to say.

2365
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:10,080
Speaker 1: What have you finished up with? I have to confess,

2366
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:12,080
Speaker 1: and we talked a little bit about it earlier this week.

2367
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:15,360
Speaker 1: Are the Bears moving on from Mitchell Trubisky already? I mean,

2368
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 1: I know it's hasn't It hasn't been formalized, nothing's been said.

2369
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:22,680
Speaker 1: But should they move on for Mitchell Trubisky? Maybe he's

2370
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:24,720
Speaker 1: a question. What do you think? I think, so do you?

2371
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they made a big move up in the

2372
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:30,200
Speaker 1: draft to acquire him in the draft. Twelve win season

2373
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 1: out of him, so that's enough one year. That's not

2374
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 1: what they had in mind. No it's not. But they

2375
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 1: also have seen this guy in practice and every day

2376
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 1: for three years. And if they're ready to move on,

2377
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 1: it's for good reason. I think I'm a big fan

2378
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 1: of the John Elway method of quarterback handling. If he's

2379
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: not the guy, kick him to the curb now and

2380
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: go get another one run through. Those guys have somebody

2381
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,040
Speaker 1: in the building who knows what they're looking at and

2382
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 1: find a guy that you can win with and win

2383
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 1: with consistently and win big with. Yeah, Well, other than

2384
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:06,840
Speaker 1: looking until you find it, other than one season with

2385
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:08,720
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, what does Elway have to show for that?

2386
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 1: He had four seasons with Peyton Manning. He had two

2387
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:14,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl appearances, one that he should have gotten to

2388
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and got a safety overthrown for a

2389
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 1: desperation toss that cost them. Again, they should have been

2390
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: in three super Bowls with Peyton Manning, and that was

2391
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: a guy because of their defense. Even when Peyton Manning

2392
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 1: got him to a super Bowl, he wasn't leading them there.

2393
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is what do they have to show

2394
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: that you're going to cycle through a player? Look, I

2395
01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:36,920
Speaker 1: believe in player development too. I think the Bills. I

2396
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 1: think the Bills are happy with Josh Allen, but I

2397
01:52:39,360 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: think they see how he needs to get better, They

2398
01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:43,560
Speaker 1: see where he needs to be developed. And so, so

2399
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen wasn't perfect this year. Should they be looking

2400
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 1: at the next guy? I don't think so. It's hard

2401
01:52:49,320 --> 01:52:51,639
Speaker 1: to find the right quarterback. And if a guy like Trubisky,

2402
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 1: If you got a guy like Trubisky, he was pretty

2403
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 1: good at a good year two years ago. You work

2404
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,240
Speaker 1: with him, what's this, what are his weaknesses, Let's work

2405
01:52:58,280 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 1: on that, Let's get better at that. Let's not get

2406
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 1: up on him. That's all. I get it, and I

2407
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 1: agree with you to a certain extent. But I think

2408
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 1: if they've been trying to do that for three years

2409
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:09,639
Speaker 1: and they're working at it and it's and it going,

2410
01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 1: it's going backwards instead of forwards. Yeah, I don't know

2411
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 1: that he's done. I think I think they wouldn't be

2412
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,599
Speaker 1: moving on if it wasn't. I think coach's egos getting

2413
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:19,400
Speaker 1: the way like, oh my goodness, I better make a

2414
01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 1: move here or I'm gonna be out. You know, we'll

2415
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:23,400
Speaker 1: just relax and maybe get this guy better. You know,

2416
01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 1: maybe the owners have to say to the coaches, we

2417
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 1: know you're working through that guy, and we know how

2418
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 1: hard it is to get a quarterback. Let's keep let's

2419
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:31,519
Speaker 1: keep plugging away trying to get them better, and maybe

2420
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: after five years you make a move like that. But

2421
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what Trubisky has been there three years.

2422
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 1: That's not enough time to see if he can play. Yeah,

2423
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:43,479
Speaker 1: he came in the when Mahomes came same year. Yeah, one, two, three,

2424
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:46,439
Speaker 1: and he started right away, won twelve games. Yeah, and

2425
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 1: that was not a fluke either. I mean he was

2426
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:49,800
Speaker 1: he was a good player. As they made the move

2427
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:53,919
Speaker 1: for Khalil Mack made a big splash, their defense escalated

2428
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: a big notch, and they had the double doink playoff. Yeah. Anyway,

2429
01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:00,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break, We're gonna come back and

2430
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:02,200

Speaker 1: that's been up all day and we're gonna revisit that

2443
01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 1: right now. What do you think? What should the Bills

2444
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 1: draft philosophy be in a couple of months in April?

2445
01:54:57,320 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 1: And it's it's general obviously, we're just you know, general philosophy.

2446
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:06,520
Speaker 1: But what should the draft philosophy be for them? For

2447
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills coming up? We got a couple of

2448
01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:12,480
Speaker 1: options for you, and the number one selection is stay

2449
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 1: at twenty two where they are, and get the best

2450
01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:16,960
Speaker 1: player available. It's thirty six percent you say that's the

2451
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,840
Speaker 1: way to go. Second best option according to participants, stay

2452
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 1: at twenty two, but go for a position of need. Okay.

2453
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 1: Twenty two percent say trade mid round picks. They got

2454
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:29,480
Speaker 1: three or two in the fifth three and the six

2455
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:34,080
Speaker 1: trade those picks for more draft for more early picks. Okay.

2456
01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: Eighteen percent say trade up, get a difference maker. What

2457
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:40,000
Speaker 1: do you think? Eight o three fifty toll free one

2458
01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:43,160
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty from the tweet

2459
01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: sheet from Tommy. So much depends on free agency. I

2460
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:49,280
Speaker 1: think being would ideally like to take best player available

2461
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 1: at twenty two if he was able to fill any

2462
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:54,040
Speaker 1: pressing needs in free agency. Based on history, I could

2463
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,120
Speaker 1: see im packaging mid round picks to trade up on

2464
01:55:56,160 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 1: the second for a knee that slides za Zay Dawkins

2465
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:03,040
Speaker 1: Ford like pick. I can see that happening, get a

2466
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: starting caliber players a Dawkins Ford in the second round.

2467
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 1: That's kind of why I love the drafts we've had

2468
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:18,040
Speaker 1: with with Brandon Bean, everything's on the table, seems to

2469
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 1: be on the table. He'll do anything, He'll trade up,

2470
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 1: trade back, package, things go. He kind of goes off

2471
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 1: the board if you will, you know, for stuff that

2472
01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 1: they want to happen do they almost never do what

2473
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 1: I expect him to do. They almost never just stand

2474
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 1: pad either. They are moving around all the time. And

2475
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: and I think it's just fun to be a part

2476
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:41,120
Speaker 1: of and listen to and and uh and hear when

2477
01:56:41,200 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: it happens. It's it's great. With the nine picks, they've

2478
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 1: got six of which are in the fifth or five

2479
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 1: of which are in the fifth and sixth rounds. They

2480
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:53,760
Speaker 1: have no seventh rounders. There's there's some packaging to be done. Um,

2481
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be fun to watch that happen. Yeah,

2482
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 1: I think I ain't the one thing that being in

2483
01:56:57,680 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 1: his group. I mean it's not just him, it's Joe

2484
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 1: Shane and Dan Morgan and all of them. They're they're

2485
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 1: creative and finding solutions. You know what I mean that

2486
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: if it takes a trade and they haven't made a trade,

2487
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:09,200
Speaker 1: a big trade involving players in a while, if it

2488
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:11,120
Speaker 1: takes a trade, they'll do it. If it takes a

2489
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, a move in the draft, they'll do it.

2490
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 1: And that's why I think we all as Bills fans,

2491
01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 1: look forward to the next couple of months here right,

2492
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 1: we know they can be creative about making a move.

2493
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 1: What else you got by the tweet sheet, by the way,

2494
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving systems. Official movers are

2495
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:27,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What's on your tweet sheet? See from Michael,

2496
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,760
Speaker 1: he says, trade down possibly then trade back into the

2497
01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 1: second and third round. This trade this draft has value

2498
01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 1: throughout this year. Get value and need and that's trading.

2499
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:42,120
Speaker 1: We've seen him do both those in the same draft.

2500
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:45,760
Speaker 1: Trade down, trade up, and that's that is interesting to

2501
01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 1: think about. You gotta end. He's right, you gotta get value.

2502
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully you don't have any pressing needs. Even when before

2503
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 1: the draft starts. From Douggie, he says they are going

2504
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 1: to be quarterbacks taken early, some way earlier than they

2505
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:01,400
Speaker 1: should be. That means some great players will slide. I say,

2506
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 1: stay put and get the best player available. We have

2507
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: more than one need. Stay put and let the other

2508
01:58:06,840 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 1: teams reach. At twenty two we can get talent. And yeah,

2509
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean the twenty second pick is gonna be think

2510
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 1: about a top twenty five guy of all the thousands

2511
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:19,800
Speaker 1: and thousands of college players available. Yeah, he's going to

2512
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 1: be a pretty good athlete. And you can bet he's

2513
01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that's going to get on

2514
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:27,200
Speaker 1: the field for the Bills. Yep from Thomas tweets this

2515
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 1: in get the most impactful player offense or defense. With

2516
01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 1: the current roster, it will be difficult for nine rookies

2517
01:58:33,600 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 1: to make the grade. Take some of that draft capital,

2518
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:38,440
Speaker 1: package it and move up. I'd rather draft five very

2519
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 1: good players who would have a better chance to be impactful.

2520
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:42,839
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. I think you're absolutely

2521
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 1: right talking one strategy. We've been talking about it. You know,

2522
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:48,640
Speaker 1: you think last year, if you're an offensive player at

2523
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 1: any position, you have a pretty good chance of being

2524
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 1: a contributor on this team. Last year, you know, coming

2525
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 1: into this last year, twenty nineteen, nine new starters hit

2526
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:01,360
Speaker 1: the field on opening day. From the year before this

2527
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:05,480
Speaker 1: last season, So whoever you drafted was gonna have a

2528
01:59:05,520 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 1: pretty good shot at getting a hard look and a

2529
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:12,800
Speaker 1: hopeful look that you could contribute. Not so this year.

2530
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: Like I said, this roster doesn't have really holes in

2531
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:19,000
Speaker 1: It's got more dents in it than holes, and that

2532
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:23,800
Speaker 1: those are hard to you know, it's just hard to

2533
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:26,600
Speaker 1: upgrade now. And so with all these nine picks, yeah,

2534
01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 1: it's great. It would be better if it was reversed,

2535
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:32,560
Speaker 1: if you had three first rounders two seconds and then

2536
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: one in each of the rounds that followed. But it's not.

2537
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:37,600
Speaker 1: You got you got five picks in the fifth and

2538
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 1: sixth round, four in the first, one in each of

2539
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:43,600
Speaker 1: the first four. So do you take what you get?

2540
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:46,440
Speaker 1: But I'm I would be, I guess I would be.

2541
01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really surprised if the Bills don't make

2542
01:59:48,640 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 1: a draft day trade for picks and packages and moving

2543
01:59:51,600 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 1: up or down. I'll be really surprised. I think we

2544
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:57,920
Speaker 1: gotta see what happens before that. You know, maybe they

2545
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 1: make that trade before the draft, right, yeah, player, I

2546
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:03,120
Speaker 1: don't well, yeah, that Bill's fan twelve to eighty three

2547
02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:05,160
Speaker 1: tweets this, and I voted to stay at twenty two.

2548
02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 1: But I trust being in McDermott. They've shown me two

2549
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:09,680
Speaker 1: straight years they know how to make good decisions in

2550
02:00:09,760 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 1: the draft. If they can do what they've been doing,

2551
02:00:11,920 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 1: the future is very bright. Indeed, I cannot wait to

2552
02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:17,200
Speaker 1: see the pieces that they add to this roster. Okay,

2553
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:20,560
Speaker 1: let's I had it, now I lost it. I was

2554
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:23,120
Speaker 1: gonna review what they've done in the traffic goal ahead.

2555
02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Read another tweet there. Okay from Crypto. He says, I

2556
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:27,520
Speaker 1: believe we really need an edge rusher to help out

2557
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:30,520
Speaker 1: our DBS. We need someone that can consistently get to

2558
02:00:30,560 --> 02:00:34,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I hope one day we get a premier

2559
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:38,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher, we have depth, trade up and get a playmaker.

2560
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 1: We talked to that Hall I'm sorry bad Brown earlier

2561
02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:45,560
Speaker 1: in the in the show, and that was kind of

2562
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:49,760
Speaker 1: his take on the entire Bill's roster. They need to

2563
02:00:49,840 --> 02:00:53,440
Speaker 1: get some some home They need some talent, some difference makers,

2564
02:00:53,480 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 1: some elite talent. This is a team that's ten got

2565
02:00:56,280 --> 02:00:58,320
Speaker 1: ten wins, but he's right, this is a team with

2566
02:00:58,480 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 1: higher expectations. In ten wins, they're trying to win a championship,

2567
02:01:02,080 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 1: and to do that, you need in your home run hitters.

2568
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:08,360
Speaker 1: You need guys that can you can need guys that

2569
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 1: can make a difference that the other team is really

2570
02:01:10,720 --> 02:01:16,000
Speaker 1: worried about. And so that's and obviously Crypto thinks that's

2571
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 1: where the Bills need to go. Just get somebody that

2572
02:01:18,880 --> 02:01:21,360
Speaker 1: the defense of the opponent or the offense of the

2573
02:01:21,440 --> 02:01:25,040
Speaker 1: opponent just has no answer for. And they're hard to find.

2574
02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to get them in the fifth and

2575
02:01:26,320 --> 02:01:28,400
Speaker 1: sixth round, in my opinion. You got to get them

2576
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:30,000
Speaker 1: in the first and then probably the top half of

2577
02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 1: the first. Okay, just a review and you can make

2578
02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:35,640
Speaker 1: up your own mind on this. It's the third draft

2579
02:01:35,720 --> 02:01:37,360
Speaker 1: for It's gonna be the fourth draft for rather for

2580
02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, the third for Brandon Means since McDermott's been here.

2581
02:01:42,320 --> 02:01:45,920
Speaker 1: First year Trdavious White, Zay Jones no longer here, Dion Dawkins,

2582
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Matt Mulano, Nathan Peterman in the fifth round, Tanner Vallejo

2583
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:51,840
Speaker 1: in the sixth round. So three of those players no

2584
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 1: longer with the Bills. They drafted six eight year three

2585
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:56,560
Speaker 1: of the six or with the Bills, Zay Jones still

2586
02:01:56,560 --> 02:01:59,680
Speaker 1: playing in the league. Peterman obviously, you know I think

2587
02:01:59,720 --> 02:02:01,560
Speaker 1: you might been a roster still in Tanner Vallejo, I

2588
02:02:01,640 --> 02:02:05,200
Speaker 1: think played in Cleveland last year twenty eighteen. First draft

2589
02:02:05,280 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 1: for Brandon Bean, second for Sean McDermott, A really solid draft,

2590
02:02:09,440 --> 02:02:12,960
Speaker 1: right Josh Allen, Formine, Edmonds, Harrison Phillips, Terren Johnson, Sir,

2591
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: and Neil Wyatt Teller has gone. He's at Cleveland, Ray

2592
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Ray mccleoud hanging around on the practice squad. Austin Prowle

2593
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:21,240
Speaker 1: in the seventh round. He's in the XFL now. And

2594
02:02:21,440 --> 02:02:24,000
Speaker 1: last year's draft another good one. It looks like ed Oliver,

2595
02:02:24,120 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Devin Singletary, Dawnson Knox, but Sean Joseph Chakwan Johnson,

2596
02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson, Tommy Sweeney all what eight of them on

2597
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the roster last year their first year. So yeah, the

2598
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: only ones you could say didn't work, I guess would be, well,

2599
02:02:37,560 --> 02:02:41,800
Speaker 1: they're no longer here, Peterman, Vallejo, Austin Prowle, maybe Wyatt Teller,

2600
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:44,160
Speaker 1: but most of those guys are still playing in the league.

2601
02:02:44,280 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Ryot Teller started some games for Cleveland this last year. Right,

2602
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:49,560
Speaker 1: they're still in the league. They're still in the league playing,

2603
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:53,320
Speaker 1: but they couldn't play on this team, and that's kind

2604
02:02:53,320 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 1: of what you're going to see a little bit more of.

2605
02:02:54,800 --> 02:02:56,480
Speaker 1: I think this year. If they get nine to those

2606
02:02:56,560 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 1: draft picks and you've got five of them in the

2607
02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:03,320
Speaker 1: fifth than sixth round, it's gonna be it's gonna be

2608
02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:05,320
Speaker 1: a hard roster to make. It's gonna be a training

2609
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:07,840
Speaker 1: camp really for the first time in Sean mcdermot's tenure,

2610
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:09,920
Speaker 1: where you're going there thinking, yeah, I know who the

2611
02:03:09,960 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 1: first eleven on defense are, or maybe the first fourteen

2612
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:15,560
Speaker 1: on defense and the first fourteen on offense are gonna be.

2613
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:18,080
Speaker 1: We kind of know those last year, we kind of

2614
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:20,920
Speaker 1: thought we knew, but I had an idea. But all

2615
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's nine new guys, four new offensive

2616
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 1: line starters, and all the injuries they had in the

2617
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,080
Speaker 1: offensive line last training camp, you didn't know who was

2618
02:03:28,080 --> 02:03:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna line up and not let alone who you didn't

2619
02:03:30,320 --> 02:03:33,520
Speaker 1: even know where. So there's a big question mark there.

2620
02:03:33,600 --> 02:03:35,960
Speaker 1: But this is one of those training camps I think

2621
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 1: coming up. I don't know if you'd agree with me

2622
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:40,760
Speaker 1: or non Murph, but I there's gonna be some guys

2623
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: inked into the lineup rather than just Pencilvan. You got

2624
02:03:43,960 --> 02:03:46,120
Speaker 1: a long way to try, know so list like a

2625
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 1: lifetime time for NFL Tour False brought to you by

2626
02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:53,520
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York, New York's artisan Cheese. Are you ready?

2627
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Here we go? After Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson is the

2628
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 1: most clutch player in the NFL. That's according to a

2629
02:03:59,640 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 1: story and NFL dot Com. The incredible ability of Watson

2630
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:07,080
Speaker 1: is more comeback wins eight over the last two seasons

2631
02:04:07,240 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 1: than anyone else in the NFL to will victories into

2632
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:13,200
Speaker 1: existence in his own right. Did it against the Bills

2633
02:04:13,280 --> 02:04:15,040
Speaker 1: right in the playoff game, whether he's shrugging off a

2634
02:04:15,120 --> 02:04:17,440
Speaker 1: kick to the eye to beat the Raiders or escape

2635
02:04:17,640 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 1: escaping certain doom to secure his first playoff win against

2636
02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 1: the Bills, Watson a show and he should never be

2637
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:25,120
Speaker 1: counted out. He's up there as far as clutch players.

2638
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:27,480
Speaker 1: I would say that might be true. After Patrick Mahomes,

2639
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson might be the most clutch player in the league. Yeah,

2640
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:32,920
Speaker 1: I think he might be more clutch than Patrick, but

2641
02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:35,440
Speaker 1: he's not as good. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

2642
02:04:36,680 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 1: he rises in those moments. We saw it ourselves we

2643
02:04:40,960 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 1: were victims of it here in Buffalo and that last

2644
02:04:42,920 --> 02:04:46,760
Speaker 1: play in overtime against Texans. And he has done it

2645
02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:48,960
Speaker 1: more than anybody in his short career. And this was

2646
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 1: an injury. He had, an injury that kept him out

2647
02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:53,160
Speaker 1: of an entire season. This is a guy that can

2648
02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 1: really go. And I would almost say yes too. I

2649
02:04:55,720 --> 02:04:58,440
Speaker 1: know it's hard to make a pronouncement like that because

2650
02:04:58,520 --> 02:05:01,360
Speaker 1: week to week, some guys play well in the closing

2651
02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:04,000
Speaker 1: moments of the game. So maybe on that week because

2652
02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: the opportunity and the circumstances, another guy plays puts together

2653
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 1: a clutch performance. But yeah, Deshaun Watson seems like he

2654
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:16,480
Speaker 1: has that gene. We've attributed it to Josh at different times.

2655
02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Those guys are And somebody made the great analogy this

2656
02:05:21,400 --> 02:05:27,480
Speaker 1: week and it was Bucky Bucky Brooks the NFL quarterback spot. Now,

2657
02:05:27,680 --> 02:05:31,080
Speaker 1: it's about guys who can score. It's not about shooters,

2658
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, It's not about guys who can just sit

2659
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:35,680
Speaker 1: back and throw. It's about guys who make plays. That's

2660
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:37,480
Speaker 1: the kind of the difference. You're talking about a guy

2661
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 1: who can sit back and throw the football accurately into

2662
02:05:40,840 --> 02:05:43,520
Speaker 1: a coin slot. Yeah, I get it. And you still

2663
02:05:43,560 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 1: need to do that, but now it's about guys who

2664
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:50,520
Speaker 1: can break, contain outrun guys formulate a pass play on

2665
02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the run, impromptu, just anything to stay on the field

2666
02:05:54,800 --> 02:05:59,160
Speaker 1: as an offense, and certainly Deshaun Watson has proven he's

2667
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 1: one of those guys. Part two, NFL True or False.

2668
02:06:02,040 --> 02:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Rams quarterback absolutely the best guy to be

2669
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:09,480
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Rams. Sean McVay brought his coordinators his

2670
02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:12,680
Speaker 1: new coaching hires before the media yesterday. Didn't bring the

2671
02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:15,320
Speaker 1: quarterback forward. But they aren't. They appear to be committed

2672
02:06:15,360 --> 02:06:18,560
Speaker 1: to him. Brandon Cooks for Rams wide receiver, says absolutely

2673
02:06:18,880 --> 02:06:21,040
Speaker 1: he is the guy for the Rams. He said, so

2674
02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:24,120
Speaker 1: many different position changes on the offensive line, Jared Goff

2675
02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:27,320
Speaker 1: held us together, too many inconsistencies. The heart of the

2676
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: team struggles, according to Brandon Cooks. But as Jared Goff,

2677
02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:33,680
Speaker 1: absolutely the guy for the Rams. Is very hard to

2678
02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: replace a franchise quarterback. I'm not convinced. I'm gonna say

2679
02:06:39,040 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 1: a medium false on this one. I'm not convinced he's

2680
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:44,400
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, look, he might have a bounce

2681
02:06:44,480 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 1: back here, but if he is another bad one, he

2682
02:06:46,440 --> 02:06:48,240
Speaker 1: won't be the guy. I'm just I'm not a Jared

2683
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Goff fan. I don't know how much he brings to

2684
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:51,960
Speaker 1: the party there for the Rams, yeah, I think he

2685
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:57,880
Speaker 1: benefited from the boost the entire organization got from Sean

2686
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:04,360
Speaker 1: McVay being hired two years ago this year. And for me,

2687
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 1: if you want to be one of those guys that

2688
02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:09,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about, the Drew Breeses, the Dan Marinos, the

2689
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers of the world, Ben Roethlisburgers of the world,

2690
02:07:13,320 --> 02:07:15,600
Speaker 1: all those guys you can name if you want to

2691
02:07:15,600 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: beat Tom Brady's the world, if you want to be

2692
02:07:17,120 --> 02:07:21,000
Speaker 1: one of those guys like Tom Brady, but don't matter.

2693
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 1: He had, he had nobody around him. He still remains competitive.

2694
02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 1: His offense didn't carry the team, but they won twelve

2695
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:30,320
Speaker 1: games with him, And that's what I want to see.

2696
02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 1: Jared Gobby, I don't care about what's going on around him.

2697
02:07:32,680 --> 02:07:36,880
Speaker 1: A quarterback should elevate everybody. And if you're not going

2698
02:07:36,960 --> 02:07:38,560
Speaker 1: to be one of those guys, you're not gonna be.

2699
02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:41,160
Speaker 1: But I saw this. There were guys they were in

2700
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:44,000
Speaker 1: my era who played with a lot of bad rosters

2701
02:07:44,080 --> 02:07:46,560
Speaker 1: who still were winning games. Dan Marino being one of them.

2702
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Jared Gobs gotta, I don't care the guy, what's going

2703
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:53,200
Speaker 1: on around him. Quarterback, steady him and win games. And

2704
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:56,720
Speaker 1: when you do that, then you can absolutely be the guy.

2705
02:07:56,800 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 1: But until then, you're not true or false false? Okay

2706
02:08:00,160 --> 02:08:03,880
Speaker 1: number three. The NFL has asked teams for feedback on

2707
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the prospect of expanding flex scheduling, including the possibility of

2708
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:10,440
Speaker 1: moving games from Sunday to Monday in the middle of

2709
02:08:10,520 --> 02:08:14,200
Speaker 1: the season. There's no specifics on the plan. It's an

2710
02:08:14,240 --> 02:08:16,520
Speaker 1: open ending question that went to teams. How much flexing

2711
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 1: could they handle. It wouldn't go into effect till twenty

2712
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:23,480
Speaker 1: twenty three, flexing Monday night football games. What do you

2713
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:27,320
Speaker 1: think would that hurt the fans? Shortwood True, Absolutely true.

2714
02:08:27,520 --> 02:08:29,040
Speaker 1: It would only hurt the fans. It would be great

2715
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: for teams. What do we what we're gonna do to

2716
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:34,640
Speaker 1: side on Friday? You're playing side on Thursday, playing tonight,

2717
02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:36,640
Speaker 1: you play on Saturday, playing Sunday or Monday? What do

2718
02:08:36,680 --> 02:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you want to play? Come on? You know there's seventy

2719
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:41,640
Speaker 1: three thousand people who show up here every weekday. They

2720
02:08:41,720 --> 02:08:43,440
Speaker 1: have a steake in it, right, You can't change their

2721
02:08:43,480 --> 02:08:46,000
Speaker 1: plans like that, right, especially a Monday night game. We

2722
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:47,800
Speaker 1: were talking about it earlier, and I say, well, for

2723
02:08:48,160 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: the Sunday afternoon, you take away from one fan base,

2724
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 1: you give it back to the other two fan bases.

2725
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing too, They're gonna flex these games.

2726
02:08:56,800 --> 02:08:59,040
Speaker 1: They usually do it. They have twelve days to do it,

2727
02:08:59,720 --> 02:09:02,840
Speaker 1: so it's before the game, before that they're gonna tell

2728
02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: you that you're Monday night game. In two games. It

2729
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: may not be enough time because you know, people do

2730
02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:11,040
Speaker 1: change your mind with you. People and in Buffalo argue

2731
02:09:11,040 --> 02:09:13,120
Speaker 1: about this. People in Buffalo make their playing, you know,

2732
02:09:13,240 --> 02:09:15,520
Speaker 1: making months in advantage. Right, Everybody's like, like on that

2733
02:09:15,600 --> 02:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Monday night game, I say, we're playing in Vegas. We're

2734
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna go and we'll catch the Monday night game in

2735
02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:23,320
Speaker 1: Vegas day. Then we'll come back Wednesday, whatever, We'll take

2736
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:25,040
Speaker 1: a couple of vacation days, you know that kind of

2737
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 1: thing that happens. And and even though and now now

2738
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 1: it messes with four fan bases, not two, four and

2739
02:09:34,720 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: the and with no notice, with twelve days notice. So

2740
02:09:38,800 --> 02:09:41,160
Speaker 1: have you completely come around on this question a little bit?

2741
02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:44,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to have a fight with you about this. No,

2742
02:09:44,840 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm because I'm saying it's true, hurt the power. I don't.

2743
02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:50,480
Speaker 1: It's only hurt because the player. Come on, I played

2744
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:54,760
Speaker 1: for a minute, don't matter what day the game's on.

2745
02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:57,720
Speaker 1: These guys are in their twenties and turpies their razor

2746
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:03,200
Speaker 1: sharp and with their seven the conditions right, and they're

2747
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 1: the ones that got to deal with it the player. Listen.

2748
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:07,720
Speaker 1: I know that there are guys who have played in

2749
02:10:07,760 --> 02:10:09,520
Speaker 1: the NFL that don't even know how to check into

2750
02:10:09,600 --> 02:10:12,840
Speaker 1: a hotel. Because they walk in the hotel, they hand

2751
02:10:12,920 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you the envelope with your key and number on it.

2752
02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:19,120
Speaker 1: He just walked to the elevator and go up. When

2753
02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 1: guys left the NFL, they walked in, they said, where's

2754
02:10:21,760 --> 02:10:24,960
Speaker 1: the table with my envelope? Right? You didn't even know

2755
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:28,600
Speaker 1: how to do it, and so you're taking care of

2756
02:10:28,720 --> 02:10:31,240
Speaker 1: It's not about the players, it's about the It's about

2757
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:33,800
Speaker 1: the fans, and they're the ones that kind of like, ah, man,

2758
02:10:33,880 --> 02:10:35,680
Speaker 1: we had a Monday night game, Now we don't. I

2759
02:10:35,840 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: was really hoping we could argue about that. I've been

2760
02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:40,760
Speaker 1: in the moon for an arguments. I've been waiting all

2761
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:43,400
Speaker 1: day to argue and waiting all day. There you go,

2762
02:10:43,560 --> 02:10:45,880
Speaker 1: NFL true or Falls. Brought to you by Yancey's, Fancy

2763
02:10:46,280 --> 02:10:48,400
Speaker 1: New York's artists and Cheese. We'll take a break. We're

2764
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:50,800
Speaker 1: back One Bill's Live, presented by a Collada Health from

2765
02:10:50,840 --> 02:10:53,920
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio in Archard Park. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2766
02:11:10,280 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: I want to we learned from today's show brought to

2767
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:15,560
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction rental company of the

2768
02:11:15,560 --> 02:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Had a good show today. That Brown joined

2769
02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:21,400
Speaker 1: us from w r OCTV in Rochester. We asked them

2770
02:11:21,440 --> 02:11:23,440
Speaker 1: what the Bills could do in the offseason and free agency.

2771
02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:26,440
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. I think, you know,

2772
02:11:26,560 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 1: considering what I want to do with the guys I have,

2773
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:30,280
Speaker 1: is the first thing I'm thinking about right now. Do

2774
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:32,640
Speaker 1: I want to sign Trade White right this second? You know?

2775
02:11:32,720 --> 02:11:34,920
Speaker 1: Maybe what's my plan with Josh Allen down the road.

2776
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:36,720
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I have my internal ducks

2777
02:11:36,760 --> 02:11:39,000
Speaker 1: in a row before I'm I'm looking outside. But when

2778
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:41,120
Speaker 1: it comes to free agency, you know, the thing that

2779
02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:42,800
Speaker 1: I think the Bills can really make an impact this

2780
02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:45,080
Speaker 1: year is with a pass rusher. I think there's a

2781
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:48,120
Speaker 1: pretty elite group of pass rushers available in free agency,

2782
02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:50,800
Speaker 1: and a group that can you know, make you elite

2783
02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:53,560
Speaker 1: in that spot. I think it's hard to find elite

2784
02:11:53,680 --> 02:11:55,960
Speaker 1: players when it comes to free agency. Guys who are

2785
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,400
Speaker 1: elite don't make it the free agency because they're elite.

2786
02:11:58,440 --> 02:12:00,800
Speaker 1: And I think the Bills have an oppu with that

2787
02:12:00,920 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 1: group maybe to make an impact and when it comes

2788
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:05,480
Speaker 1: to signing guys off the street. Man Brown of Channel

2789
02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 1: eight in Rochester joining us also today. A little bit

2790
02:12:08,080 --> 02:12:11,360
Speaker 1: earlier this hour, Shiel Capadia and he wrote a post

2791
02:12:11,440 --> 02:12:14,000
Speaker 1: for the Athletic dot Com predicted that Bill's running back

2792
02:12:14,040 --> 02:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary will win the rushing title this year. Here's

2793
02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:19,840
Speaker 1: what shil Capadia said. I was a big fan of

2794
02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 1: his coming out of college, coming into the draft last year,

2795
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:26,920
Speaker 1: and then seeing what he did with the Bills last year,

2796
02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:29,120
Speaker 1: or you know, once he got over those injuries as

2797
02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 1: his role expanded, averaged over five yards per carry. I

2798
02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, I thought during the second half of the

2799
02:12:34,640 --> 02:12:37,120
Speaker 1: season he was really one of the you know, maybe

2800
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:40,280
Speaker 1: top five, top ten running back in the NFL. And

2801
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:42,320
Speaker 1: so I think if you're looking at a guy who

2802
02:12:42,400 --> 02:12:45,000
Speaker 1: can really make a leap, who's gonna have the opportunity,

2803
02:12:45,040 --> 02:12:48,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna have the touches I really liked everything about

2804
02:12:48,240 --> 02:12:49,960
Speaker 1: his game, from the way he could make the whole

2805
02:12:50,040 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 1: miss break, tackles and vision, all those different types of things.

2806
02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:55,880
Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance to make a pretty

2807
02:12:55,960 --> 02:12:58,080
Speaker 1: pretty big leap in a second season. There you go,

2808
02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:01,720
Speaker 1: shil Capadia. Tomorrow show should be interesting. Steve Ruben Brown

2809
02:13:01,840 --> 02:13:04,600
Speaker 1: birthday boy today? Right, isn't today's birthday? Yeah, he's gonna

2810
02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:06,680
Speaker 1: be with us tomorrow after he's done celebrating his birthday.

2811
02:13:06,960 --> 02:13:09,440
Speaker 1: That could be funny. He's like twenty eight or something.

2812
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Also tomorrow. Christin Fourier, remember him played tight end for

2813
02:13:13,480 --> 02:13:15,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. What are we talking with him about? I

2814
02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:17,680
Speaker 1: can't remember. It was explained to me, oh, Bob Brady.

2815
02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:20,040
Speaker 1: Does Brady go back to New England? Christin Fourier. I

2816
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 1: think he says he's doubtful that he's going back, right, Yeah,

2817
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:25,960
Speaker 1: it's yeah, I don't know. I don't see it. You

2818
02:13:26,040 --> 02:13:30,360
Speaker 1: disagree with Christin Fourier. He's not leaving. I still don't

2819
02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:32,840
Speaker 1: believe it. I still don't believe the Raiders are getting

2820
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:34,840
Speaker 1: rid of Derek Carr either. What do they think? Are

2821
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 1: they for sure? That's all over the place. People think

2822
02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:39,200
Speaker 1: they're getting rid of those guys. I don't know, I

2823
02:13:39,240 --> 02:13:41,320
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm going to hockey game tonight by Christin
