And I've told Dan he'll be the MVP 18 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: of this draft as long as I don't screw it up. Yeah, right, 19 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: And they've got they had to. They had a lot 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: of work to do, I mean, and they're not alone 21 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: in this our it departments in every industry. You're trying 22 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: to get around and hook up their people so we 23 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: can all work from remotely from home. But I mean, 24 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: this is the NFL draft. This isn't like you know, 25 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: holding a conference call. This is you got people you 26 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: need to stay in touch with the most moment's notice 27 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: that you may not need to know you talket need 28 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: to talk to you know, thirty seconds from now.

How you know you must 30 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: have more than one little iPhone there in front of you, right, Yeah, 31 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: I got I got a few monitors, uh, different sizes 32 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: and shapes, and we got some big ones and some 33 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: someones mobile ones that I can move around with me. 34 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: So we're ready. We got I'd say we got more 35 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: than five, uh Steve, but um, we're ready for for everything. 36 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: And um yeah, we'll have several I'm gonna have several 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: different people on you know, zooms between my scouts on one, 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: my people on the trade I'm gonna have Terry and 39 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: Kim and Sean and and so we have several different 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: things that will be set up so that I can 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: bounce around and make sure we can have a good 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: communication system. How just off off your cuff your gut feeling. 43 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: Do you think this is all gonna go off without 44 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: a hitch? Um? You know, anytime you're dealing with technology, Steve, 45 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: you gotta be ready for the U, for the unknown. 46 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: But I do really believe in what Dan Evans and 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: his staff have done to help set us up. And 48 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: uh there's we've got, We've created some backups, we've we've 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: tried to talk through. Okay, if this happens, what's our 50 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: what's our plan B if this happens. Uh So I 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: feel like as we sit here, you know a little 52 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: more in a week out, I feel really good about 53 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: where we're at. Again, Um, technology is great until it 54 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: until it fails you. But uh Um, I think we've 55 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of good checks and balances and I 56 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: feel very confident and where we're at, we're live with 57 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: Bill's GM. Brandon mean, hey, Brandon, don't take offense at this. 58 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: This is our Twitter pole question today. We're asking fans 59 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: what makes this year's draft easier for you? Is it 60 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: because you don't really need to find a starter? Is 61 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: it because you can watch other teams get through the 62 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: first round and maybe let them make the technical mistakes 63 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: and have the glitches or is the right answer. This 64 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: isn't an easier You're trying to build a championship roster. 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: You want to get way in on that. What do 66 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: you think I mean? I'd say B and C if 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: you know I do as I've said, I always want 68 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: a first round pick. Sometimes options opportunities will present themselves 69 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: where you you know, you trade a high pick like 70 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: we did for Stefan. So if I was going to 71 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: do that, as I've said, a couple of times, this 72 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: may be the year to let some of these other 73 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: teams deal with any glitches that come up. And then 74 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, Secondly though, I just I think you guys 75 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: have heard me say I'm I'm never comfortable. That's not 76 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: how I'm wired with our roster. We could be coming 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: off of winning the super Bowl or something, and if 78 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: we were having the same conversation, I'm still going to 79 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: be nervous about what we got to get done. And 80 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: there's opportunities and we've got to play this draft right. 81 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: And the first thing to do is we got to 82 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: make sure we're finalizing our board. We're getting close, but 83 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: we've got to you know, dot our eyes and cross 84 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: our teas and make sure it's ready to roll because 85 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: I truly listen to this boy and follow it and 86 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: believe in what the process that our scouts, our coaches, 87 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: everybody that's been involved in setting it, and then let 88 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: it talk to me on what we need to do 89 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: as far as moving up, moving down, or staying put. 90 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: This last segment, Murph and I were talking about what 91 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: it's like, and I had this big tirade about how 92 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: this may keep you guys from overthinking stuff. You got 93 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: to look at more tape. You can't send three guys 94 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: down to look at a prospect. You all got to 95 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: got to look at the same tape and talk about 96 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: the same thing. Is there any kind of hidden blessing 97 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: to this about not being able to go down and 98 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: hash out every degree, about talk looking at the kid 99 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: in the eye and saying, Okay, what kind of kid 100 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: is here? And what is there any positive to be 101 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: drawn from you know, having your evaluation process, you know, 102 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: put having a glitch like this put into it. Yeah, 103 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: I mean the positive is you probably most teams will 104 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: rely more on the fall tape, which was how drafting 105 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: used to be. You know, the guy's playing the fall 106 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: and then way back when they were drafted in January 107 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: or early February or something before you had the Combine 108 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: and all these pro days, So it goes back to that. 109 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: You know, really the stop sign was put up right 110 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: after the Combine, so it's kind of all your data 111 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: through the UH the All Star Games, the NFLPA, the 112 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, and the Combine and then we had that 113 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: short little week of Crow days before we all got 114 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: pulled off. But for the most part, we lost those opportunities. 115 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: And yeah, you can if you're not careful, Steve, you 116 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: can definitely overthink. You can you know, put too much 117 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: emphasis on a workout that maybe went really well for 118 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: the player, better than than than what he's his ability 119 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: is or the other way you could have. Man, I 120 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: really didn't think this guy, even though the fall tape 121 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: is very good, he just struggled in the workout, and 122 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: maybe we weighed that too much. I know that has 123 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: happened before. You try to put it all together and 124 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: make a you know, a sensible decision. But to your point, 125 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be more based on the 126 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: fall tape than what happened in the spring with Brandon 127 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: Bean to Bill's general manager, Brandon the draft of course 128 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: start in eight days, and it's a busy weekend and 129 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: it sort of ends with them. Maybe the busiest time 130 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: of all when you're on the phone with undrafted rookies, 131 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: guys who made it through the draft without getting picked. 132 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Normally it's a scramble I think in the draft room, right, 133 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: but everybody on the phone with somebody, How are you 134 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: going to work that out? Did I hear that you 135 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: kind of endorsed Kevin Colbert's plan to maybe have an 136 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: extra three rounds at the end to solve a problem. Yeah, 137 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean listen, at the end of the day. What 138 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: I was saying about Kevin is Kevin has had a 139 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: lot of success in this league. He might be the 140 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: most senior member of all the general managers, and he's 141 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: really smart. And so I haven't thought it all the 142 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: way through all the positives and negatives to it, like anything, 143 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: but I do understand. It's funny. Kevin mentioned it to 144 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: me at the Clemson pro day. He said, Hey, if 145 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: we get shut down, that's gonna be something that I 146 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: think we should recommend. And I so I listened to him, 147 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and he makes some valid points. So I look at 148 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: it that I would support Kevin one ent on it. 149 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: He's got way more seniority and way more experience than 150 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: I do, and I got a lot of respect for him. 151 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: But I did follow it up and say, I haven't 152 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: heard any talk that that's going to happen. So I 153 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: am playing it. I'm not playing it as if there's 154 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: ten rounds. I'm playing it is if there's seven. And 155 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: then the other question you asked John about, you know, 156 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: the post draft stuff is it will be different, and uh, 157 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: usually we're working out of the draft room or down 158 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the hall, you know, a coach and a scout or 159 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: paired up together and they're kind of recruiting or on 160 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: the phone with the agent and or the player. So 161 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have some different things set up using the 162 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: different technology, maybe Microsoft teams a little bit more for that, 163 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: where we're gonna have some different meetings going on and 164 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: it'll allow me and me and Sean or a coordinator 165 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: to jump in and out and recruit or jump on 166 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: with an agent. So we've got a plan in place. Again, 167 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: we've this one. We won't be able to test very well, 168 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: but we're going to do our best to mock it 169 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: the you know, the best we can. And then we'll 170 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: see how goes. Is there a greater possibility that maybe 171 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: there is a good player that slips through the cracks 172 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: or um? I know that I've told young kids that 173 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: are trying to decide on a college, it doesn't matter 174 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: where you go to college. If you're good enough, they're 175 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: gonna find you. But then you always find out maybe 176 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: there are some guys out there that you know, as 177 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: rookie free agents, they turn out to be better than 178 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, thirty percent of the draft picks that were 179 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: in the in the draft. So is that a greater 180 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: possibility this year or less? I think it's definitely a 181 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: greater Uh. There's always guys every year that whatever reason, 182 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: they had some medical ups and downs, they were recruited 183 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: by one staff and another staff came in and or 184 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: they just got over you know, somebody, a really you know, 185 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: five star prospect came in and beat them out if 186 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: they were you know, one position, and maybe maybe they 187 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: decided not to transfer. Some guys will transfer on those 188 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: So there's various reasons why guys fall. And so like 189 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: every every year, Steve, there's gonna be guys, and so 190 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: we'll try and target the ones that we think, Hey, 191 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: maybe he's failed this, but we think he can be 192 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: successful because of X, Y and Z, and those are 193 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: the conversations we have. Is all right, we got this 194 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: guy down here. What is gonna give him success? What's 195 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: his best opt Is he a heightweight, speed guy? That 196 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: just it hasn't translated mentally. Is he not been you know, 197 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: has he been injured? What's what's his deal as to 198 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: why if he becomes up in our case a Buffalo 199 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: Bill wildly successful. You guys event success with undrafted guys 200 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, Robert Foster, etc. I wonder how much of 201 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: that is advanced work? I mean how much do you 202 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: kind of set these guys up, you know, this week 203 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: saying hey, maybe you'll go in the draft, but if 204 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: you don't remember us, you could probably do a little 205 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: bit of advanced work on then huh, yeah you do. 206 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: I mean, every every player beliefs are gonna be drafted 207 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: and wants to be drafted. So I don't know that 208 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: you approach it and say hey, I don't Hey, hey buddy, 209 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna get drafted, so think about 210 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: the Bills. But I think you do have those conversations 211 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: about your their fit in your system, whatever position. If 212 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: you come in here, we see you compete. Go ahead 213 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: and lay out some of the things that their agent 214 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: is going to be looking at, because those are sometimes 215 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: the fights the agents looking at the depth chart, paying 216 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: attention to what you drafted and to what's what's still available. 217 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: If you're talking about a Levi Wallace, we didn't draft 218 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: a corner that year, so that's a positive thing that 219 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: we can sell if we had drafted a first round corner, 220 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: you know, or a couple of corners ahead of them. Um, 221 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, we did draft tern but Terran was an 222 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: inside guy. We didn't draft an outside corner that year, 223 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: to be specific. So those are some of the things 224 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: that you can sell, especially in the moment. But it 225 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: is good to go ahead and lay some groundwork prior 226 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: to the draft. One of the things that happened this 227 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: last week was the league started talking about, you know, 228 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the virtual offseason that you're gonna have. What what is 229 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: there anything you can share with us that, um, maybe 230 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: we don't know. I mean this in two hours on 231 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: the in two hours of workouts, and you can send 232 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: them some equipment and what other, but how you know, 233 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: what's that going to look like for players and coaches 234 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, so, um, still working through the 235 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: details and there's teams are going to have different options. 236 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: You know, it is going to be an option. Do 237 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: you want to just do meetings and not not work 238 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: the players out? It gets into a liability standpoint of what, um, 239 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, if you're working the player out and he 240 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: suffers an injury, usually that would be an NFI if 241 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: it was not at our facility. But if we're going 242 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: to be conducting the workouts and putting them through things 243 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: even remotely like this, that does come up. So those 244 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: are why there will be options for teams to do 245 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: and we're still running through that what our plan is. 246 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: But um, you're definitely going to have four hour days, um, 247 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: like we normally you'll be allowed two hours of meetings 248 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: and if you choose two hours of workouts. And again, 249 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: I think that's going to happen for about a three 250 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: week period and the league, from my understanding, is playing it, 251 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, kind of a three week stretch at a time. 252 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: Let's take it to mid May, let's get through the draft, 253 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: let's get the rookie, let's see what it looks like then, 254 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: and then making decision is there an opportunity to bring 255 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: guys in later in May, or in June or at 256 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: that point mid May. Does this still look like, Hey, 257 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to keep this virtual, you know, until 258 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: training camp. So I think we'll see more down the 259 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: line whether it's going to be a totally virtual offseason 260 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: or if it's going to be half virtual. And then 261 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: maybe at some point we get these guys in. Would 262 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: you see Brandon, would you see like your strength and 263 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: conditioning coaches? Would they do customize videos for each players 264 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: or maybe for each position groups saying here's what we'd 265 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: like you to work on. Is that I would work Yeah. 266 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a lot of different things 267 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: you can do. You can without giving up strategy. We 268 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: do have a plan without giving up strategy. Some of 269 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: the things that you could do or you could post 270 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: videos of these are some things we'd like the linemen 271 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: to do today. These are some things we like, or 272 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: you could have you know, we have a staff, you know, 273 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: of four strength and conditioning guys, and we could split 274 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: them up and teach some different have them on with 275 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: him for part of the time. I don't know if 276 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to have him on the old time. 277 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: You know, every with every player, but and also you know, 278 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: the one of the things you have is the times 279 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: on difference. You know, if I'm starting at nine am 280 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: in Florida and you're in California, that's six So um, 281 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, working those around people's parameters. And maybe I 282 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: have access to a field that I can run grass, 283 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: but I can only do it during this time of day. 284 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: That They'll depend on what's going on in my area, 285 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: what they've allowed some of these parks, and obviously gyms 286 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: are now closed, so finding free open you know, terrain 287 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: to run on or do whatever. Some guys have had 288 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,599 Speaker 1: more success than that. So those are all the obstacles 289 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: that we're dealing with, and it changes daily. You know. 290 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: I know some guys we've we've talked to or you know, 291 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: our strength staff has talked to and they had a 292 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: good setup and then now that's that's changed, so they've 293 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: had to go to plan B. I gotta ask you 294 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: this that eight days or seven days or whatever it 295 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: is away from the draft, eight days, I guess, um, 296 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: your your first picks fifty four, you got eighty six, 297 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: you got one, twenty eight, got one, sixty seventy. You know, 298 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: all these picks coming up, how likely is it that 299 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills pick exactly in those slots. Have you 300 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: thought about what it would take, or the parameters or 301 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: the or the conditions that would take for you to 302 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: move in up and around and sideways and all of that. Yeah, 303 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: so I've looked at Friday. You know, I don't anticipate 304 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: us at all trying to get up in the first round. 305 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: That's that's not something where we're even contemplating right now. 306 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: But yes, I've looked at Friday what we could do 307 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: going up the spots. You know that it would cost 308 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: us a fifth round pick, the spots that would cost 309 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: us a fourth round pick, and then also some teams 310 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: with multiple picks that maybe teams have been aggressive or 311 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: may want to be aggressive if they think there's gonna 312 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: be a run on this position. I'll have a better 313 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: idea after I see what goes in round one. But yes, 314 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: I've already looked at teams with if we want to 315 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: go the other way from fifty four and go SA 316 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: and pick up another pick, so we'll be ready again. 317 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: I think it'll I'll have a lot more clarity after 318 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: Day one because we all know the quarterbacks that are 319 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: gonna go, and and the tackles that are going to go. 320 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: I can tell you probably twenty of the thirty two 321 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: first round picks, and then there's another twenty that can 322 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: go probably in those last twelve spots wherever they go. 323 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: So I have an idea, you know, I put again, 324 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: I put together some names of about twenty four to 325 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: twenty five guys that I felt pretty confident we're going, 326 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: if not in top thirty two, in the top thirty 327 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: five to thirty six. And so then you're looking at all, right, 328 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: if I got about eighteen to twenty spots left before 329 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: our pick, what would be on the board. That's kind 330 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: of how I've looked at it at this point. Still 331 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: a week out Live with Bills, gentleman, at your Brandon 332 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: being the signing that reported signing of Evan Baine to 333 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: a contract by the Bills. What can you tell us 334 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: about Evan Baine, my Brandon? What do you think him? Yeah? 335 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: So he was a fourth round draft pick. Uh. He's 336 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: got flexibility. Uh, and you know that's that's big for us. 337 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: He's a smart player. Bobby Johnson was around him in 338 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: Indianapolish spoke very highly of him. So you know how 339 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: we really enjoy if we've had some experience with a 340 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: player and know what we're gonna get. He's he's a 341 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: he's our kind of guy. He's a leader, good dna um, smart, tough, dependable, 342 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: and he'll come in and he'll provide uh, you know, 343 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: center guard flex and again we tried to sign as 344 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: many guys Darry Williams, who is more of a guard 345 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: tackle flex. Uh, those just give us more options on 346 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: game day, you know, and you talk about Darrell Williams 347 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: and now Evan Bame and even guys like Spencer Long. 348 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: You guys, I've read somebody said this, and I think 349 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: it's true. You the Bills at this point preseason. You 350 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: might not have the most talented, highly regarded offensive mind, 351 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: but I can't imagine anybody has an offensive line with 352 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: as much versatility and as much NFL experience as the 353 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills right now. Yeah, I think it's important because 354 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: we cannot evaluate. You know, this is something I learned 355 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: a while back. You know, all of a sudden, your 356 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: first team goes out in the preseason and they play 357 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: and you can evaluate guys. Second team goes out and 358 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: it's starting to get a little shaky, maybe the line player, 359 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: and then you go the third and the quarterback can't 360 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: even get back there and execute, and or they're meeting 361 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: the running back in the backfield. And so I've always 362 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: find it found it very important that you'd love to 363 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: be three deep. Now that's hard to do, but you 364 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: want to be able to execute with that second and 365 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: third team because otherwise, I can't evaluate the tight ends, 366 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: the running backs, the quarterback, and the receivers if we 367 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: can't stop the other team from penetrating and blowing stuff up. 368 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: And so I think it's very important. Yeah, we probably 369 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: nobody's going to grade us with five pro toolers across 370 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the front, but I think we've got depth, and I 371 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 1: think we've got competition, and there's gonna be should we 372 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: stay healthy. I think there's gonna be some good battles 373 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: in there. You know, of those nine or ten linemen 374 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: that we do keep on the final fifty three, well, 375 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: I know that this is an incredibly busy time for it. 376 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: It's all and it's all complicated by the fact that 377 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: we're all sequestered from each other in socially distanced But 378 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: you got a lot of stuff on your plate as GM. 379 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: You got Matt Milano tradevious, why Dion Dawkins, all these 380 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: guys kind of sitting around Uh, probably in line for extensions, 381 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: no question. What's the timeframe maybe on each one of 382 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: those guys. And have you had to contact with them? Yeah, 383 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean, um, like anything. Um, you know, Matt and 384 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: Dion or they have the same representatives, so that's what 385 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: one call one stop shop. UM. But yeah, I definitely 386 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: have been in contact. You know, I don't really like 387 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: to get into negotiations too much, but I've definitely been 388 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: in contact with their representatives, given them timelines of when 389 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: we would look at things like that. You know right now, 390 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: you know, our main focus was getting through free agency. Uh, 391 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: and then I was planning to be on the road, 392 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: which that got um, you know, jettison with with the 393 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen stuff. So really just been focused on the draft. 394 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: I think that would be conversations. If you look at 395 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: our history, I've generally done most of those guys. We 396 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: did do Jordan before that, um, you know, before we 397 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: hit free agency, but beyond that, most of the guys 398 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: I've done from Jerry Hughes, Eric wood Housekun and some 399 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: of those guys we've we've done more in the spring 400 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: summertime frame. Your draft board all set for next week. 401 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: You're how much more work you after you to put 402 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: your draft ward together? We still have some more work 403 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: where you know, I've I've met with our medical people. 404 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: We have some sports pyke stuff, um that we're going 405 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: through just some of the various Um, what what makes 406 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: up the DNA, What's what's behind the scenes, behind the 407 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: curtains that we don't know about this player? Just trying 408 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: to figure out what makes them tick? And and I'm 409 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: still um doing some zoom calls with some players. I 410 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: got some lined up this afternoon. Joe, Shane and I 411 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: do get on just some of the guys that we 412 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: would have liked to have brought in for potential thirty 413 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: visits to uh this still unanswered questions I want to get, 414 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, what makes John Murphy tick? What do you know? 415 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: What do you what excites you about football? What what 416 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: what's your other interests? Those kind of things, Just me 417 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: getting a fiel, them getting a field. Any questions I 418 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: can answer for them about Buffalo Bills or a certain 419 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: position and how they would fit on our team should 420 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: we select him. So going through that, and then the 421 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: last thing that I do is the horizontal and I 422 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: kind of look at we stack these guys vertically by position. 423 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: But then I kind of look at, all, right, I'm 424 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: in the third round and I've got, you know, this 425 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: tight end here, and I've got this defensive back and 426 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: maybe a defensive end. They're all rated in the you know, 427 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: a high third. Do I agree with that? Is that 428 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: kind of all or or should this one? Definitely if 429 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: I was on the clock, this one would definitely be 430 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: just kind of working our way through the first round, 431 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: the second round, the third round. Sometimes you'll find a 432 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 1: guy You'll go, man, the more we talk about it, 433 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: I wouldn't take him over any of these guys. And 434 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 1: I drop him down and I still wouldn't take him 435 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: over these guys. So just to checks and balances, one 436 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: last look. See. But we'll wrap the board up by 437 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: this weekend and then Monday we'll do our mocks and 438 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit Tuesday. And as we approach this preseason, 439 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that kind of gets forgotten and 440 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: all this, so you've got some guys that you know 441 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to finish the season or even started. 442 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips, how's his rehab going? How much can you 443 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: keep in contact with guys who have ongoing issues from 444 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: last season? Yeah? So, uh, Nate Breski and his staff 445 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: have done a great job. They've divided up the guys 446 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: that had postseason surgeries or in Harrison's you know instance, 447 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: that didn't didn't finish the season and are still rehabbing. 448 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: So um, you know, I know Harrison's done a great job. 449 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: He's he's send some videos and things to the guys 450 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: just showing him what he's doing. And they've get on 451 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: similar what we were talking about with the how Eric 452 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Siano and his staff would would do the the virtual 453 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: offseason program, the workouts. Um Nate and his staff have 454 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: kind of divided up and had one on one time. Hey, 455 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: you know, Ben down do this. You know, give me 456 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: ten of these, give me ten shoulder raises. They've you know, 457 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: they've tried to send them out some different bands and 458 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: things like this to test, you know, whatever it is 459 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: if they've had a shoulder. You know, Levi Wallace had 460 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: a shoulder talking about him early. Just trying to work 461 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: these guys the best we can with the circumstances. And 462 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: look at video of what they look like. Again, you'd 463 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: you'd rather have your hands on them right now. That's 464 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: not an option. But I'm really proud of of our 465 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: guys that they've worked hard, they've taken to this, and 466 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: Nate tells me they're all staying up with what they 467 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: need to be doing with their react.

Yeah? You know what, for 535 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: every challenge, there's an opportunity to prove that you can 536 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: handle it. And it's a challenge for all thirty two teams. No, quite, 537 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: it's a different challenge. It's it's not undoable, it's not 538 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: something that no team can handle, but it's our approach 539 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: has to be with anything from Sean and his coaches 540 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: to me and my personnel staff.

That that's 544 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for, but we can't let that happen 545 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: from our end.
