1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

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

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: player for you. Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: in the straded fear of normalcy. Holy Wednesday, everybody, it's

5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: another edition if one Bill's Live. Coming your way here

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: from one to three. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: and we are a rocking and a rolling with regard

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: to roster decisions, not only here in Buffalo, but across

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: the National Football League. They're starting to come. We've seen

10
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: a flurry. The initial flurry has happened. It's like it's

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: like the first snowfall. Like you feel like the league

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 1: would like take it out of gear in the off

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: season and coast down, you know, and kind of relaxing

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: the way they're shifting gears at this thing in fifth

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: gear and they're going down. Goodness, gracious, any fun And

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: we're not even a top speak. We had a blockbuster

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: trade obviously yesterday with the Russell Wilson deal, but and

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers then coming to close right although the

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: contract particulars are still a little bit up in the air.

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: There was an initial report yesterday oh four years, two

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and fifty three million guaranteed, and then

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Aaron tweets out himself, well, hold on a second, that's

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: not exactly right. I'll be back in twenty twenty two,

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: which left me seeing is it a one year deal

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: with an option? Like? What are we what are we

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: working with here? And then they franchised Davante Adams and

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I think the Packers are done for

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: this offseason, at least until the draft, because those two

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: guys alone have a good chance of gobbling up about

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: forty to fifty percent of the cap in twenty twenty

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: two for the Packers, So I don't anticipate them doing

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: a whole lot more going forward unless they start robbing

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Peter to pay Paul and start moving money around the

34
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: way the Saints and the Rams have done over the

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: last several years. They I can't see them being gigantic

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: players in the market just because of what they had

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: to do with Rogers and Adams alone. And I think

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: Jaire Alexander is he a free agent too? I think

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: he might be the cornerback or they're looking to sign

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: him to an extension. Yeah, he's not a free agent,

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: not an unrestricted free agent. Um, but they have some

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: some business to take care of their They're a linebacker.

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Devandre Campbell is a free agent. I know that. Um.

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I mean, I get it. You gotta

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: keep your two best guys on offense. We get so

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: wrapped up and watching the Bills and we're worried. They

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: were right up there above the cap last yesterday. Then

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: they cut a J. Klein. Now they're kind of almost there,

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: and we get so caught up in the fact that

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Bills don't have any money, just pinned right now. How

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna free it up. They got all these guys

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: that that that I gotta extend these guys. I gotta

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: re up these guys. Well, you look around the league.

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Everybody well not everybody. Well here's the one the ones

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: that don't that have cap money for the most part,

56
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: the ones that have cap money suck stink and they

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: got no quarterback right and they're like, they're like, what

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: are we gonna do they or they have a quarterback

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: on a rookie deal right. A lot of these teams

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: wish they were the Buffalo Bills right now. They can

61
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: hand cap cap problems you can handle. You know, you

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: can move money around if you need to. You can

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, do this guy, do that guy, whatever, whatever,

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: But you can't get that guy and the expectations that

65
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: go with it. Um, the Bills have got some really

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: quality players under contract and tied up for the next

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: couple of years right now. There's some exceptions that, but

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: you know they're sitting and you know they're losing some

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: guys to free agency. Some of these teams, I mean

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks they just sent like, you know, the

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, the only guy who's ever won a World

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: championship for him, they just shipped him off to Denver.

73
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: And they're getting some good players and some draft picks back.

74
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: But you can't cheer for draft picks. Well, it's interesting

75
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: that you mentioned the Seahawks because after that trade happened,

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: everybody's like, here comes the Seattle rebuild because they also

77
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: release Bobby Wagner, right, and I think about that. I mean,

78
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: those are arguably they're two best players on the roster,

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: so they save a boatload on the cap by doing that,

80
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, ah, it's a rebuild. It's a whole rebuild. Hey,

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: maybe Tyler Lockett's available now. ESPN's Adam Schefter said this morning,

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: to his knowledge, Lockett and Metcalf are not going anywhere.

83
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: And there are now reports circulating that the Seahawks have

84
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: done a lot of due diligence on Deshaun Watson and

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: that they might be interested in trying to acquire him. Obviously,

86
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: the legal situation has to play itself out there. And

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: speaking of that, a grand jury is supposed to hear

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: evidence on Friday in the case involving Watson, and then

89
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: after that he's going to face questions for some of

90
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: his pending civil lawsuits. He's going to be deposed in

91
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: some of the civil lawsuits. So that might have a

92
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: little more clarity in the not too distant future. And

93
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: we'll have to see where that goes. Grand jury serious stuff.

94
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: And I was reading the story on ESPN dot com.

95
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: It was interesting, you know, what you can learn about

96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: the legal process, especially when it comes to grand juries.

97
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: But it's far from being resolved. Let's just say that.

98
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: And while the Seahawks might be interested in trying to

99
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: acquire Deshaun Watson, I mean that seems like a pretty

100
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: risky plan. A to fill your quarterback position. Now, that

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'll say this just because this plan or

102
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: this plan, this course of action that they've taken in

103
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Trading russ Wilson, and they've done due diligence on Deshaun Watson,

104
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't make them any different. That Deshaun Watson part

105
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: of it doesn't make them any different from about ten

106
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: or fifteen other teams that have done due diligence on

107
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Trading Trading Russell Wilson puts it on another level,

108
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that Deshaun Watson was their plan A.

109
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: It just means that's the plan we found out one

110
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: of the plans we found out about. They their plan

111
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe to get a guy with number nine pick or

112
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: or to bundle and move up to get somebody all

113
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: of that. So I'm not I'm not gonna say that

114
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are all in on Deshaun Watson there

115
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: about it. That's why I have some skepticism because that's

116
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: a very risky plan. I don't I don't think that's

117
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: plan A. It's too risky. I think they would consider it,

118
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's plan A I think

119
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: there's a ton of teams that are gonna consider it,

120
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: and they just want to know what's gonna happen, when

121
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: the guy's going to be available on how what's it

122
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna look like when it's over, and is the league

123
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: going to step in with some kind of suspension? Solutely

124
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the league, and I think they're completely separate from the

125
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: legal process. He might escape jail time or send us

126
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: sing or anything like that. He still might get suspended

127
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: by the league, right exactly, um or the or the

128
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: league or if it means the league may say, hey,

129
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in a year and a half anyway

130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: less he's done well, I don't know. Does that do

131
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: they account time series? He's on the commissioner's list right? No,

132
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: he was an act No, he was an active player

133
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: that sat on the bench all last year and he

134
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: may do it again this year. They won't. Yeah, the

135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: league will have to do something. They personal conduct policy

136
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: at the very league cannot in my opinion, you cannot

137
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: say the things the NFL does publicly about diversity and

138
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: inclusion and personal conduct and what they stand for. And

139
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: can't let this guy play. You can't let him. You

140
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: can't let him off without any core any sort of repercussion. Repercussions,

141
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: in my opinions, cannot do that. We'll see. As Steve mentioned,

142
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: the Bills released linebacker Ajklin after two seasons with the Bills.

143
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: It saves them a little over five million dollars on

144
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: the cap. That move alone almost gets them under Brandon

145
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Being said on w g r's morning show yesterday, they're

146
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: about six and a half over the cap that was

147
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: prior to the release of Klin, So they're probably about

148
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: one point five or one point four over at this

149
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: point in time. So they still have work to do

150
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: just to get under the cap, and we'll see where

151
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: it goes from here. There are more moves that are

152
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: going to have to be made, not only to get

153
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: under the cap, but to give themselves enough breathing room

154
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: to either a resign some of their own or b

155
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: add a couple of free agents. But with where the

156
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: cap situation is now, it's going to be very interesting

157
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: to see, Steve, just how aggressive they are in creating

158
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: cap space, either through restructures, through negotiations, through contract extensions,

159
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: through pay cuts, and through outright player cuts. How deep

160
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: does the wound go for the bills to create cap

161
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: space to change the face of their roster if they

162
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: create I mean. And we were talking to Mike Ginetty

163
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: from spot Track yesterday, Steve as you know, and he

164
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: his estimate was, you know, you need eight million for

165
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: your rookie pool, and you need an additional six plus

166
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: to get under the cap. So that's fourteen right there.

167
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: He estimated you needed another twenty million dollars to at

168
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: least play ball and in free agency. Right, you're right.

169
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: Those are some deep cuts you're gonna have to make,

170
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: I mean, to clear thirty four million in cap space. Hello,

171
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: It's what it means is if you're going to clear

172
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: thirty four million in cap space minus what you cut,

173
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: if guys you're outright cuts, say if Cole Beasley's gone

174
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: and aj Klein has gone, what is that that turns

175
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: into what twelve thirt million ten point two So now

176
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: you're down to now you're down to or eleven point

177
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: eleven change, now you're down to twenty four million. Yeah, right,

178
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: that you have to clear up. And what that basically

179
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: means is an owner would have to write a check

180
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: for that, give it to the players to extend their

181
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: deals more money up front, money, money up front. That's

182
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: a that's a big number to ask for anybody, um,

183
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: any owner. So you can get it done. But most

184
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, let's face it, most owners aren't going to

185
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: do that. They're telling because they're putting pressure on their

186
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: GM say listen, you you know, and and in this

187
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: you're saying, listen, you told me we're gonna be, you know,

188
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: competitive every year in year out. We've done everything by

189
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the book. What's the story, you know, let's keep it

190
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: in line here. Yeah, we're not the ram. We're not.

191
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: We're not in a five billion dollar facility trying to

192
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: win a world championship, to win fans, and when we

193
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: win the world championship, have three hundred people show up

194
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: at the parade, right right, I mean, let's go. So

195
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I think it's and I think owners have a perfect

196
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: right to say, listen, you made the mess I hired

197
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: you to not to get into messages like this. You know,

198
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: you cleaned it up when you got here. What are

199
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: you doing now? So I'm thinking, yeah, there's gonna be

200
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: some tough, tough decisions for Brandon being to make business decisions,

201
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: and we'll see what those look like going forward. We'll

202
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: also see whether there is any smoke with respect to

203
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: Beasley seeking a trade with another NFL club and seeing

204
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: if some kind of deal can be consummated. Presumably Beasley

205
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: would like to be traded prior to the opening of

206
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: free agency, when the rest of the receivers on the

207
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: market are available for selection. As well, he does have

208
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: an affordable cap figure if you are inheriting him as

209
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: a player via trade, because the team acquiring him would

210
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: only be on the hook for his base salary this year,

211
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: which is a very pedestrian four point nine million. You

212
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: can get a lot worse bang for your buck than

213
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: coleb easily for four point nine million, you know. So

214
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: you know who comes into play when I hear that

215
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: is the Patriots. Yeah, you know you think about them there.

216
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, Beasley will give you four and a half

217
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: million bucks worth of value in production, particularly if he

218
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: gets more snaps at in New England. He would have

219
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: gotten here because he was getting you know, he was

220
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup here. He didn't take

221
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the snaps at all. So I

222
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, a team like that that wants to take

223
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: one more step and doesn't need you're not talking about

224
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: a five year extension with him. You're talking about this year, right,

225
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: and then you know what are you giving up for him?

226
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think even though he's got an affordable

227
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: cab number now, I don't think it's enough to compel

228
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: another team him to give something up to acquire him.

229
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: I think they'd be more in line to say, well,

230
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: he's seeking a trade because he may know that the

231
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: Bills have to move on from him anyway to get

232
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: out from under their cap situation. So we'll just wait

233
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: until that happens, and then we can sign him for

234
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: probably even less money than he's scheduled to make this year,

235
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: and we don't have to give up anything in return.

236
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Our only risk is we're bidding against maybe a handful

237
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: of other teams Cole Beasley on the open market, he's

238
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: going to get more than four and a half million bucks,

239
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I think so at age thirty three gas even if

240
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: it's five right, Well, I get it too, though, you're

241
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: giving up like a sixth round er, fifth rounder for

242
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: him something like that, right, that's what you're thinking, right,

243
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know that's because there's you know, thirty

244
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: one other teams might say yes to him. Yeah, but

245
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: there's a gluttony of free agent receivers. Yeah, and I

246
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: realize some cost more than others, right, but it's a

247
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: heck of a list. I mean, yes, Adams and Godwin

248
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: got franchised, but you're talking Juju Smith, Schuster, Alan Robinson,

249
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: obj acl Mike Williams is off the market, Michael Gallup,

250
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, DJ Chark, Jamison Crowder, aj Green, Russell, Gage,

251
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios, t Y Hilton. Who's healthy now, Sammy Watkins,

252
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean Marquez Valdez, Scandaling is gonna walk. They're not

253
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: going to resign him. In Green Bay's it sounds like

254
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys, good veteran slot guy. I mean Byron Pringle.

255
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean you got some Isaiah McKenzie. I mean you

256
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: got some players. I don't know. John Ross is going

257
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: to be out there, the guy that set the record

258
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: in the forty when he came out, DeShawn Jackson. So

259
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean there are gonna be options. Not to mention

260
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the fact that you have once again an extraordinarily deep

261
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: pool of talent in the draft at the wide receiver positions.

262
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: So if they can orchestrate a trade if they can

263
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: orchestrate a trade for Cole Beasley and get something in return,

264
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: that's a rabbit out of the hat for Brandon sp

265
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna have to get clipped. Um. Yeah, and

266
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: then off they go. And it's it's really really hard

267
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: because you you look down the list and and we've

268
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: come to know and love all of these guys that

269
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: are on them on the Bills list, and the highest

270
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: guys that all go down. This is everybody that's making

271
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: uh Diggs say, for instance, everybody from Josh from Diggs

272
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: to Tredavius to Josh, Tremaine Edmonds, Dion Dawkins, Mitch Morris,

273
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Poor your, Micah Hyde, Matt Milano, Darryl Williams, and

274
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Starlotu Lalay. Those are all the guys that are making

275
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: more than nine million bucks for the bills and some

276
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: of them are making twice that a couple of them. Um.

277
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: Then it gets then the next one is Cole Beasley

278
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: at seven point six and goes down from there. Um.

279
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: But all those guys, I mean, what are you gonna

280
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: do with those guys? You're not gonna you know, those guys,

281
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna free up cap money with those guys,

282
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: you're getting rid of them or doing what they did

283
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: a J. Klein. You gotta have those guys. The problem,

284
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: one of the problems with the Bills has been they've

285
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: been so successful at grabbing guys that really fit their culture.

286
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: Now they've got so many guys that have came in

287
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: and thrived in this culture and in this atmosphere. Now

288
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: they can't afford to pay them all. And you're as

289
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: a as a head coach like Sean McDermott, You're you're

290
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: telling these guys all the time, say, listen, if you

291
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: if you play for us, you do everything right, We're

292
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna pay you, will take care of you. I guess

293
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: to the point where there's so many of you can't Yeah,

294
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: And that's where they're sitting right now. It could get

295
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: it could have been worse as well. But now and

296
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: you've got guys like Jordan Phillip, not Jordan Phillips, the

297
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: other one, Shack Lawson, who is now on Twitter saying

298
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: he wants to come back well, and there are reports

299
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: supporting that. You know, Shack this morning tweets out a

300
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: gift of him in a Bill's uniform. No, no explanation,

301
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: just here it is. And then it was followed up

302
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who said there is mutual interest

303
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: on the part of the Bills and Shack to you know,

304
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: set something up for a return. Jordan Poyer saw Shack's

305
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: tweet with the gift there in him in a Bill's uniform,

306
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: and he, you know, tweets a bunch of eyeball emoji.

307
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: He's like, ah, what am I looking at? And Shack,

308
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, said I He basically said he'd like to return.

309
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: He's said it's been a two long years that he's

310
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: been gone. We'll have to see where it goes. But

311
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: I think Steve, this is an example of all the

312
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: work the Bills have to do because Shack, I believe

313
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: he's signed anybody now you're you're trying to know. I

314
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: think Shack is a free agent right now because he

315
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: finished I don't think he finished the season on a roster,

316
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: so I think he's eligible to be signed now. But

317
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: the thing is the Bills are still working to get

318
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: under the cap. You signed Shack, now you're back over

319
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: even if it's a modest contract, which I would anticipate

320
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: it would be, since he bounced around with a couple

321
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: of different clubs like year, including the Jets. So I

322
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: believe he's free to sign. Now. I'll double check that

323
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: in the break, but I think that is the case,

324
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: and we'll have to see. We'll have to see where

325
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: it goes. But the bottom line there is the Bills

326
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: have work to do. They've They've still got to make

327
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: some more financial decisions to get themselves in a place

328
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: where they can negotiate with somebody like Shack Lawson. I

329
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: also think Shack is the kind of player the Bills

330
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: are going to probably be pursuing in free agency, not

331
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: only at the defensive end position, but at some of

332
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: the other positions. A player who has fallen out of

333
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: favor with the teams he has played for and is

334
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: just looking for a job at this point in time.

335
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been a far fall for Shack

336
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the last two years. He signs a three year, thirty

337
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: million dollar contract in Miami, last one season with the

338
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins and is traded to the Houston Texans, doesn't last there,

339
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: and then gets picked up by the Jets and doesn't

340
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: finish the season with the Jets either. If you remember,

341
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: the Bills were kicking the tires on shack back in

342
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: January when they were considering making an addition at the

343
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: end of the year. That's why I'm pretty confident in

344
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: saying he can sign now. So yeah, j just chimed

345
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: in said he can sign anywhere. He's So he's a

346
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: free agent right now, which is why, which is why

347
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: it's okay for him to go on social media and

348
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: say all this stuff, because it's not you can't do

349
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: it if you're in a contract with a team. So, yeah,

350
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: he's he's a free agent, and I think you could

351
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: get him at a pretty affordable price. There's a guy

352
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: you can get on a one year prove of deal

353
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: who's looking to prove he can still play in this

354
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: league and then hopefully cash him with a bigger contract

355
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: the following year. He is a classic one year candidate. Absolutely, absolutely.

356
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: It's interesting to think about it when you because, yeah, okay,

357
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: he could come back and he could play, well, he'd

358
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: give him a one year deal. Okay, let's see it again.

359
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: We'll be motivated, you know, they motivated to play, no questions.

360
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: The former first round pick. So he's kind of he's

361
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: got some tools and some experience now as well, after

362
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: being around the block in the NFL. It'd be interesting

363
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: to hear his story over the last eighteen twenty four months.

364
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: When he left Miami, I didn't think too much about

365
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: him getting cut in Miami or traded. He traded to Houston,

366
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: all right, traded to Houston. I didn't think too much

367
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: about that because that was the year. It was after

368
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: the year when Miami cut six of their eight captains. Yeah,

369
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: they were clown house for whatever reason. It did not

370
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: work in Miami for Brian Flores, and he was cleaning house.

371
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Some Shack was part of that. So I was like,

372
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Shack or whether it's a

373
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: culture or everything else. I just don't I didn't understand

374
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: the signing in the first place, because Miami signs him

375
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: to this big deal, three years, thirty million dollars and

376
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, good for Shack, you know, great contract. Yeah,

377
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: I would sign it too, but I thought he was

378
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: miscast in Miami. They play a three four defense, and

379
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: they signed him to this giant contract. I think everybody

380
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: would agree Shack doesn't have quite the width and girth

381
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: to play a five technique in a three four, you know,

382
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: at end, and he's not athletic enough to play outside

383
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: linebacker in a three to four unless you're standing him

384
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: up on the line every time. And so I don't

385
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: think he was put in a position to succeed there,

386
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: and I think they quickly figured that out and said, well,

387
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: let's lump him in a trade for Will Fuller or

388
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: whatever the trade was. So yeah, I just and then

389
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, he goes to Houston they play a three

390
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: four also, so he was no better cast there. And

391
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: then he goes to the Jets, tries to latch on

392
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: there and it was unsuccessful, and here he is looking

393
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: for work. So yeah, I mean, you could do a

394
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: lot worse than Shack. And you know, he had up

395
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: good measure of success here. He's one of the top

396
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: two players and tackles for loss the year he was here,

397
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: and I think he was second on the team in

398
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: sacks Jordan Phillips his last year here. So he was

399
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: productive in this system. So if you can get him

400
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: for a one year, proven deal, know when you got

401
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: to watch your finances on the free agent market, I'm

402
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: on board with that. The return of ty Crane. We'll

403
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: see if it happens. Well yeah, so, but I'll say

404
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: this too, there's a there's a ton of really attractive

405
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: names on the free agent market at there's a ton

406
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: of them. I just don't know how many of the

407
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: builds are gonna be able to afford. It starts with

408
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler, goes all the way down, Yeah, you can't

409
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: afford that guy, right, And it goes all the way

410
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: down through. Remember this name, Eddie Yarbro, who was here

411
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: a minute. He's on that list. So there's the there's

412
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: the spectrum that we're looking at, and there's all kinds

413
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: of guys between them, all the way from you know,

414
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: guys Jordan Willis, Lorenzo Carter, Everson, Griffin, Alex Oka for

415
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: all these guys are on this list. Alex okaf was

416
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: like I was making he's thirty. I'm gonna be probably

417
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: thirty two, gonna make up just over a million bucks

418
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: and it's not that much. We'll see all those guys.

419
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna call all of these guys. Believe me, they'll

420
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: call all of these guys and their agents and they'll say,

421
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: what's he looking for? Here's what we're off. They'll have

422
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: a pocket of players that they feel that's right, and

423
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: they'll just get in touch with all of that, of

424
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: all these guys, they'll have a file on all of

425
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: them and they'll say they'll call the representations, say here's

426
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: what we think about your guy. What do you think

427
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: about your guy? Is he interested? And now nowadays more

428
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: so than I mean, unlike years passing decades past, teams,

429
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: players and their agents are going, yeah, we're interested. Because

430
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't always that way. Yeah. The exact tweet from Shack,

431
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: the follow up tweet after player did the eyeball tweet,

432
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: said I'm trying to come back home. I miss you

433
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: all boys. It's been two long years. So it's been

434
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: a long two years, and it has because free agency

435
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: didn't wind up being what he probably hoped it would be.

436
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: He gets the big second kind track, makes a boatload

437
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: of money, but he's not productive on the field. And

438
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, so he's probably thinking, look, I

439
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: had my greatest success when I was playing with the Bills.

440
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: Let me get back there and see if I can

441
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: make something happen and you know, help get this team

442
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: over the hump. And you've always heard I mean, Coach

443
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: McDermott and Brandon Bean have both said several times when

444
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: he was here, love the guy's energy. He's a juice guy.

445
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: He gets other guys juiced up to play, and that

446
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: has value on a team like this. Yeah, you need guys,

447
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: you need you need voices in the room. There's no

448
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: question it's gonna be interesting. But let's you know, before

449
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: we start talking about that, you know we still you

450
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: still got to get to a place where your top

451
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: fifty one contracts are underneath the cap, and they're not

452
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: there yet. I got you know this week will be

453
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: You'll be hearing some more stuff this week. They got

454
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: very close yesterday with the AJ Klein release. And for

455
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: those of you are wondering how A. J. Klein feels

456
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: about that, If not he knew it was, he probably

457
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: knew it was coming as well. But he also they

458
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: probably told him when they released him and say, listen,

459
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna get our cap stuff together. We'd love to

460
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: have you back, but we got to fit it. And

461
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: if you want to, well, you're absolutely part of the plan.

462
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: Because A. J. Klein did some really good stuff for

463
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: this team while he was here. He was the number

464
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: one guy to go in after if Tremaine Edwards was out.

465
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: They figured out in twenty twenty that when he came in,

466
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: they had to change their defensive philosophy a little bit

467
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: because he wasn't able to do what Tremaine did, but

468
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: he could do some other things very well. So they

469
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: changed his role and made it a role for a J.

470
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: Klein rather than having Aj do what Tremaine did, which

471
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: I think speaks to how unique a talent Tremaine is. So,

472
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think it was something that they figured

473
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: out as they went along in twenty twenty when this

474
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: team had the breakout year. Tremaine's a unique talent and

475
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: they have him doing different things and he's able to

476
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: different things than other linebackers are do now. AJ clins

477
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: more along the lines of a prototypical guy everybody remembers

478
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: from their high school days right and their college days

479
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: and other teams the way it's been in years past,

480
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: a guy who is a run stuff for kind of

481
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: a you know, a guy that plays up in the box.

482
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: And Tremaine Edmonds is more of a linebacker built for

483
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: today's NFL where he's got to drop back and carry

484
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: it tight end down the middle of the field thirty

485
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: five yards and stay with him. Yeah, so they're different players,

486
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: but AJ Cline has done some stuff for this club.

487
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: I think the club likes he's a solid, great teammate,

488
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, despite the fact that they

489
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: released him, I don't think he's any question the Bills

490
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: would love to have him back if they could fit him.

491
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: One team was able to resign one of their most

492
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: important players after not putting the franchise tag on I'm

493
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. We're able to assign resign one of

494
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: their best pass rushers, Harold Landry, to a five year,

495
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: eighty seven and a half million dollar contract. So their

496
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: best pass rusher is back in the fold. And really

497
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: their defensive line is the strength of that defense, with

498
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: Landry and Jeffrey Simmons being the anchors up front there

499
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: along with a couple other decent players. And so they

500
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: get their primary pass rusher back on a second contract

501
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: for a boatload of cash, as he is effectively setting

502
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: the market for the defensive end position and the numbers

503
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: are only going to go up from there. But a

504
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: guy entering the prime of his career going to stay

505
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: put in Tennessee on that defense, and that was the

506
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: biggest money deal we saw yesterday. As they're able to

507
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: do that Apparently they had made enough progress where they

508
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: felt they didn't need to use the tag to buy

509
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: themselves more time. They felt they were close enough that

510
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: they'd get it done before the legal tampering window opens

511
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: on Monday for all thirty two teams to call whoever

512
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: the heck they want. That's an unrestricted free agent. So yeah,

513
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: important deal for Tennis See for sure for their defense.

514
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: So that was probably the biggest money deal that came

515
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: down the pike yesterday. There are reports out there, and

516
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: this has been widely speculated from the jump, that Mitchell

517
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Trubisky is going to be pursued by the Giants. But

518
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: if that's the case, and the New York Post is

519
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: already all over this already, it's going to mean it's

520
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: a wide open quarterback competition, because I think that's the

521
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: only way Mitchell Trubisky signs with the Giants. They have

522
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and unless Brian Dable and Joe Shane tell him, hey, look,

523
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: you come here, it's an open competition for the starting job.

524
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: And at which point he's got to feel he's got

525
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: the advantage because he already knows the offense inside and

526
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: out over Daniel Jones. Here's the thing too, day Bold

527
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: will know and he'll probably have a conversation with Trubisky. Say, listen,

528
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: we want you to come in and treat treat Daniel

529
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: Jones with the same love and respect you treated Josh Allen,

530
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: even though it's a reverse role reversal. We want you

531
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: to be a teammate as well, So we don't want

532
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: you to go anywhere. If if we're gonna pick the

533
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: best guy, you're gonna get a fifty fifty chance to

534
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: make this. And but you do have a chance to

535
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: win the starting job. If knowing that, Dabo will know

536
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: that those two guys, he'll know Traubisky and he'll have

537
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: had conversations with Daniel Jones about Listen, you guys are

538
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: in this together. You're gonna be there. There's not gonna

539
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: be a bitter rivalry. You know, those guys aren't gonna

540
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: be stabbing each other in the back when nobody's around.

541
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: Kind of thing. Right, It's gonna be good for the team.

542
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: The Giants will be better for it, and they'll have

543
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: a guy on the field who's run the offense and

544
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: seen it run at a high level. Still, you gotta

545
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: you gotta listen to other offers. Right, there might be

546
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: people who said, we're ready to make you the starter,

547
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: no competition needed. I have about Washington, who was reportedly

548
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: all in and was offering even more for Russell Wilson

549
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: than the Broncos were, but the Seahawks said, well, we

550
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: don't want to trade him in conference, which to me

551
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: is a little foolish. You get the best, you get

552
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: the most. You can can name any team you want,

553
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean Washington might be sailing telling him, hey,

554
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: you signed with us, you're starting. Yeah. No, if Sands

555
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: or Butts, no competition, you're in. That's right. But it

556
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: might come down to money too. Yeah, and it also

557
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: might come down to mister Bissy's saying, I trust Brian

558
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: dat I don't want to lift. I don't want to lift.

559
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to live in Washington, or I don't

560
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: want to play for that team, or I don't want

561
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: to you know whatever, whatever. I want to be in

562
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey. What about Pittsburgh? Right, he made the same thing.

563
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: He goes, I don't know, you guys are I don't

564
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to deal with that fan base,

565
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to think there are places.

566
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: I think there are places where he will be a

567
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: more viable candidate to start right from the jump, I

568
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: have to compete with a former fort I mean, a

569
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: fellow first round picking Daniel Jones in New York, even

570
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: though he would have the edge walking in the door

571
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: of knowing the offense. Yeah. Yes, but that's only part

572
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: of the situation that you've got to evaluate. So if

573
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: he does go to the Giants, you know, you can

574
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: make it. We can make up all the reasons in

575
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: the world. It comes down to money and opportunity and

576
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: vibe and the chance to jump out to a really

577
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: quick start. If he goes into some place like I

578
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: don't know what, pick one like Indianapolis, and he's gonna

579
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: compete with Carson Wentz. Now Wentz knows the offense, you

580
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So all of that what. Yeah,

581
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: So there's a lot in that if he goes to

582
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: the Giants or whatever he goes, it's gonna be it's

583
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: because it's best for him and his family, both monetarily,

584
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: opportunity wise, competition wise going forward. So I'm it'll be interesting.

585
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise I guess. I don't want to say

586
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise me the Dabele is interested in him,

587
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: because I bet Brian Dabele is looking at mister Bisky

588
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: from a year coaching him with Josh Allen and standbyond

589
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: saying man, I'm mitched pretty good well. And not only that,

590
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: if he agrees to pursue him in free agency and

591
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: they sign him, it certainly isn't a ringing endorsement on

592
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: his faith in Daniel Jones. He didn't know Daniel Jones

593
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know him. He doesn't He probably watched

594
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: film the last month and says, oh jeez, I don't

595
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: know if I can win with it. I can't fix him.

596
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't know him, he doesn't owe him well. Right,

597
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta step aside. But when we come

598
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: back more on free agency frenzy, which is closing in

599
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: next week, and some of the movement around the lead.

600
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: We also have to ask you, aside from the Bills,

601
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: which AFC team has the best quarterback situation. You can

602
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: let us know at E three oh five fifty or

603
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: hit us up on the tweet sheet at one Bill's Live.

604
00:32:47,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: Steve and I back in a moment. Stay tune, all right,

605
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one Bill's Live Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

606
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: with you and NFL free Agency when the market officially

607
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: opens is exactly one week from today four pm. Anyway,

608
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,640

Speaker 1: Bill's life. He was some guys A long time, no talk.

734
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: I just uh, I wanted to chime in on the

735
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and Mitch Trubisky. Uh sure, they have a

736
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: long history. UM so remember they Daniel played at Duke

737
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: and Mitch played at UNC. Had a big rivalry. UM

738
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: two thousand I think it was two thousand and sixteen.

739
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Up that uh coach David Cutcliff coach Duke, and Daniel

740
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: Jones was quarterback. They upset of twenty eight twenty seven Duke.

741
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: Duke was unranked and UNC was like number fifteen the nation. Um,

742
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: so they had a long history. They lived about eight

743
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: miles apart for uh three three years or so. I

744
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: guess I don't know, um, but yeah, they know each

745
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: other pretty well. Um. I think that's what I was

746
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: thinking when um, Dave All went over there. I mean,

747
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: they already got Davis Webb right now, and Jake from

748
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: Davis Webb and Jake from both. I mean, yep, that's

749
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Buffalo East and if nothing else, it'll help Daniel

750
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: Jones assimilate the offense faster. But I'm telling you this

751
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: Trubisky comes out, that's why Davis Webb is there, right,

752
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: you would think he's they're already to hell, right, you don't.

753
00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: It's a new offense and Davis Webb was there, so

754
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: he's going to help him already. But they haven't started

755
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: that yet. But my point is when Trubisky came out,

756
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: he went that high in the draft because he's toolsy,

757
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: he's got an arm, he's got an an athlete, he's big,

758
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: he's Chicago traded up one spot to get him from

759
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: three to two. Yeah, so that he's Trubisky looks the part,

760
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: which is why he was such a good fit here

761
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: in Buffalo for a minute. And you know, so I

762
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: think day Ball sees it every day and he knows

763
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: what he's working with with Trubisky, and he probably sold

764
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: the Giants said listen, this guy can go. And if

765
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: you want to get the most out of Daniel Jones

766
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: and give us the best chance to win, let's get

767
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: the best guy in here. And Trubisky is one of

768
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: those guys that's available. That is that guy this year.

769
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: And it's not the draft, as we know. I just

770
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: don't know that the Giants are going to be able

771
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: to bring the money to the table that he's going

772
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: to be looking for, especially you know, when their cap

773
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: situation isn't pretty and they got Daniel Jones on the

774
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: last year of his rookie deal. I don't know, I

775
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Be interesting to see. Um, we got some

776
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: more quarterback news. Trade alert. Trade alert, The Colts are

777
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: trading Carson Wentz to Washington for a package of picks

778
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: that is thought to include two third round draft choices.

779
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: So Washington, who was all in on getting Russell Wilson

780
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: after failing to do so just one day later, after

781
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: the trade is consummated with Denver, the Washington Commanders have

782
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz as their quarterback. That means that means the

783
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: Colts are going to be in the market and Trubisky

784
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: Mitchie biscuits. That's a bad roster for the Bills to

785
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: see mister Trubisky landing. Yeah, that could happen. All right,

786
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: Quarterback Action Day two and we're here for baby, Oh

787
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: my gosh, u bisk He's gonna go to Carson Wentz

788
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: going to his third Mitch play rank and Frank will

789
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: get the most out of him. And there we go

790
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: again that they'll be right back in And that's a

791
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: And they're in a And we just had Frank on

792
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: the show last week and he said it might be here,

793
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: it might be somewhere else. To me, that man, it's

794
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: somewhere else. If they're thinking about somewhere else for Carson Wentz,

795
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. I think Frank. I don't think Frank

796
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: was being disingenuous when he said it, and we had

797
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: he knew he likes Carson. He think he believes him

798
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: and as a quarterback and as a human being, I

799
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: think he was getting some pushback from Ballard and probably

800
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: Jim Hursey as well. I don't think those guys had

801
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: the history with Carson that Frank did, and they were like,

802
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: gonna listen, you know, And even Dan Rolovsky said today

803
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: in social media, he goes listen. Mitch. Carson Wentz was

804
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: top five from week four all the way through weeks

805
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: seventeen to the season twenty seven touchdown, seven picks. He

806
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 1: played the three picks in the last game in the season,

807
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: and it cost him the playoff. Left it left a

808
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: bad taste in people's mouths. I gotta get rid of it.

809
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's not fair to Carson Wentz.

810
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: I'll say that, But what he what's the head coach

811
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna do? And his general manager in his head and

812
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: his owner is sitting there gonna listen, we gotta make

813
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: a movie. He's whatever. But I think Frank did believe him,

814
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: and I think Ron Rivera probably does as well. We

815
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: had the thing about this, The two head coaches we

816
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: had on the show last week made this trade. Yeah,

817
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: how wild is that like? And we asked him question. Yeah,

818
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes apart, they were sitting at our on our

819
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: studio and our table in Indianapolis and they both we

820
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: had him this week, they probably wouldn't have been available.

821
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: Remember a little busy. But Frank Reich. And I'll say

822
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: this too, Frank, and people in Buffalo know this, so

823
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm not telling them anything. All the old all the

824
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: old timers like me know this. Frank knows how to

825
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: speak two quarterbacks and appeal to him. He did it

826
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning, and when he first started getting back

827
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: into coaching, Peyton Manning loved the guy. Um Philip Rivers

828
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: loved the guy. I'm sure Carson Wentz went to Indianapolis

829
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: because he loved Frank and knew what he was doing.

830
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: They can have a level of communication. If Frank gets

831
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Mitched Trubisky in the room, done deal Lucille, he might

832
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: be a done deal Lucille, no matter what Brian Dable

833
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: has to offer over there. Because I know this. The

834
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: cults will have cap room too. Well, they have cap room,

835
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: and they have an opening, and they got a spot

836
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: for him, and say, listen, don't worry about any of that.

837
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: We got you. You come in here, you start, You're

838
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna take all the red. You're not gonna split reps

839
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones. Yeah, Now the AFC. Now for Trubisky,

840
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: think about if you want to go to the AC

841
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: the big picture, let's talk about that on the other

842
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: side because we have to take a break here, but

843
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the AFC landscape and how it could

844
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: potentially change now that Wentz has gone to the NFC.

845
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: In this breaking news trade, Carson Wentz is a Washington commander.

846
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: What we'll talk more next here on One Bill's Live,

847
00:46:53,719 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

848
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: welcome back, the second big quarterback trade in two days

849
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yesterday it was Russell Wilson. Today it

850
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: is Carson Wentz, reportedly on the move to the Washington

851
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: Commanders for a package of draft choices going back to

852
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: the Colts, which includes two third round draft choices for

853
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: the rights to Carson Wentz, who is now at least

854
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: because they only have Taylor Heineke on on the roster,

855
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is probably the odds on favorite to be

856
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: the starter. Didn't have a terrible year last year statistically,

857
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: but had the horrible game of three interceptions against Jacksonville

858
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: that cost the Colts a playoff. Berth Right there's other

859
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: stuff too, Steve that that's why I think that's the

860
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: only reason why people had a bad taste in their mouth.

861
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: There's other stuff though, that has kind of been rumored

862
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: NFL circles that he's not the best team guy. I

863
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I don't know. I tend to

864
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: those are rumors. Yeah, I don't know. I think that

865
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: might be sour groups of just trying to make it

866
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: look like they did the right thing. I don't I

867
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: think he was, Well, maybe it. Maybe he does have

868
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: some issues being a leader. But I'll say this, he's

869
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: a good quarterback and he's going back into the NFC

870
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: least division. And the only team you really look at

871
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: right now are there the Cowboys with Dak Prescott and

872
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: those guys. They had a nice year last year. Everybody, Oh,

873
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: I gotta think, man, this is you know, the Redskins

874
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs in twenty twenty. The Commanders were

875
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in twenty Wow, that's the commanding names

876
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: behind Wow. Yeah right, the Washington football team. Oh no,

877
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: that's not right either. Um, they were in the playoffs

878
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: two years ago. Yeah, so they're not that far away.

879
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: They've got a young but highly underperforming defensive front that

880
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: people thought was going to be dominant last year and

881
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: did not show up. Yeah, we'll see what the turmoil

882
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: over the last twenty four months is going to do

883
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: to that team. But I think Ron Rivera has done

884
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: a nice job giving them a steadying influence, and Carson Wentz,

885
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: I think is gonna help. I think they got better well,

886
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: and I think they're getting better from this. Scott Michael

887
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: Turner is the offensive coordinator in Washington. He is NORV

888
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: Turner's son, and if he is his offense is anything

889
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: like nor of Turners, they are going to be chucking

890
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: it down the field a fair amount. How about this, though,

891
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz in two off seasons has put a thirty

892
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: five point four million dollars cap hit on the Eagles

893
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: and now has put a fifteen million dollar cap hit

894
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: on the Colts to not play for them. That's saying something. Man.

895
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: He does have a twenty two million dollars base salary

896
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: that the Washington commanders will inherit this year. You know

897
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: what his salary is this year? It's twenty two million

898
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: and one dollar. Okay, I don't know why that's in there.

899
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: Twenty two million and one dollars. That one dollar counts

900
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: just as much as the other twenty two million it does.

901
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: So that's interesting because that gives them some cat flex.

902
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: About twenty million dollars starting quarterback is dirt cheap, and

903
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: it's base salary, and it's his base salary Washington if

904
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: he stinks it up in training camp. I mean, let's

905
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: do I mean, what's to say Washington doesn't draft a

906
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: quarterback too? You know, right, you don't like what Carson's doing?

907
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:40,479
Speaker 1: Throw them overboard. Yeah, I don't know though, I that's

908
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: it's so intriguing. Here's the thing too. Now the Colts

909
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: are given up twenty million dollars in cap but they

910
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: also get a couple of third rounders in return. Um,

911
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: if you hit a home hit home runs on those, yeah,

912
00:50:55,080 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: it's great. But they also have cap money. Um, we'll see.

913
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: Wentz was due a roster bonus of five million dollars

914
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: that was going to be guaranteed a week from Friday

915
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: and would be paid at the end of this month.

916
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: That is off the table now for the Colts, now

917
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: that they've moved him to Washington, we have to take

918
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: a break here. When we come back We'll be joined

919
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: by ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller, who will be

920
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: talking draft as well as NFL free agency next here

921
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health, It's Buffalo

922
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. At a Steve Tasker who has been all

923
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

924
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for Dave. Steve a blimp.

925
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: We're not even in the stratoire of normalcy here, all right,

926
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: welcome into our number two here on a Wednesday, and

927
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: please to be joined now by ESPN NFL draft analysts

928
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: Matt Miller joining us. He's fresh off his combined visit

929
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: just as we are, so we'll get into some of

930
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: that as well as one of his more recent mock drafts. Matt,

931
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: how many do they make you do? Because we've been

932
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: asking a lot of you and your ESPN colleagues. You know,

933
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: what's how much pressure? How many mocks you got to

934
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: come up with between the start and end of pre

935
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: draft season. You know, we're very fortunate, Chris at ESPN

936
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: is enough of us now they cover the draft that

937
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: you get to take a little break from the mock draft.

938
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: I should love them so even you know, even I'll

939
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,959
Speaker 1: hop on Twitter and just be like, oh my gosh,

940
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson got traded. Let's do a Seahawks mock draft,

941
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: just to look and see how things are going to

942
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: look for them. So I'm probably addicted to mock drafts

943
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: at this point. They need to put me in mock

944
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: drafts anonymous or something in this offseason. But I think

945
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: it's fun. You know, that's the part of the industry

946
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: that I do love, and I think it's appealing to

947
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: those fan bases to where, you know, even with the Bills,

948
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: to hop in and say, hey, let's look at what

949
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: the Bills can do. You know, you got seven rounds.

950
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: How can we get this team over the hump? Or

951
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, looking at you know, a team like the

952
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: Jexsville Jaguars, how do you get that team in a

953
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: worst of first situation, maybe like the Cincinnati Bengals were in.

954
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: So I can't get enough of the mock drafts. Well,

955
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: why don't we start there with one of your more

956
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: recent mocks, which had the Bills taking Jamison Williams, the

957
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver at Alabama who, as we know, had the

958
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: ACL injury in the National Title Game. I believe this

959
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: mock bill was before the combine. Do your feelings about

960
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: the Bills change to any degree where you might move

961
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: off Jamison Williams, at least for right now, you know,

962
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I still believe that that's probably

963
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,959
Speaker 1: the floor for him. Like I don't think he gets

964
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: past Buffalo if he's on the board. Basically, I see

965
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: the AFC, these elite teams. It's an arms race right

966
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: now really between Buffalo Cincinnati obviously they have three great receivers.

967
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs who are in, you know, a

968
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: team that also needs a the receiver of this offseason.

969
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: So I look at Buffalo Cole Beasley may or may

970
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: not be there next year. We know how great to

971
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: find Diggs is game Davis had that fantastic game in

972
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But I think everyone's looking now for that

973
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: three receiver set that can really threaten defenses. Jamison Williams

974
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: brings a speed element to the game that is rare.

975
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: So with Josh Allen's arm strength is a perfect marriage.

976
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: And I also think with Jamison something we saw a

977
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: lot this year was his ability after the catch to

978
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: create from short catches. You can give him the ball

979
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: in screen game, you give him the ball a slant

980
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: because he's still a physical route runner. So I look

981
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: at his skill set and to me, it's perfect for Buffalo,

982
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: it's perfect for opposite to find. Diggs is perfect because

983
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: you can move him inside you outside of the formation.

984
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of tools that he brings

985
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: to the table. And yes, there's some needs elsewhere, but

986
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: the Bills, I think this year is the time to

987
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: be aggressive in trying to find that other elite offensive weapon.

988
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: And the only reason he's down there is because of

989
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: his availability coming off the injury. Right. Oh absolutely, he

990
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: would be a top ten pick in my were it

991
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: not for the ACL. And one thing about that, I

992
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: know a lot of fans get upset and they're like, oh,

993
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: we don't want to draft injured players acls or six months.

994
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: These days, you know, we're seeing guys pop back from

995
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: ACLS faster than ever. Especially from what I've been told,

996
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: his was a clean tear. There was no structural damage,

997
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: there was no secondary damage. So you never want to

998
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: say an ACL injuries minor. But the surgery and the

999
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: technology is getting so much better that it's starting to

1000
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: become kind of a miner or at least a rehab

1001
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: that we know so much about that it becomes a

1002
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: little bit easier. Let's let's move shift to the combine.

1003
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: Since we're both just back from Indianapolis. Maybe your biggest takeaways.

1004
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people feel like the University of Georgia

1005
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: not only won the national title, they won the combine.

1006
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: I didn't. Would you agree with that? Number one? And

1007
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: then what might be some of your other takeaways from

1008
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: the week in Indie? Oh? With out of doubt Georgia,

1009
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: I think you see why they won the national championship

1010
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: when I tweeted this out, I wish I could remember

1011
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: left up my head, but they had a top five

1012
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: forty at every position on defense, in multiple positions. They had,

1013
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, two guys like you have Divine day Why

1014
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: and Jordan Davis. You have Kaywalker and Channing Tindall. So

1015
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: it's just fantastic what the University of Georgia had on

1016
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: defense and no disrespect of their offense. George Pickens, the

1017
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver also tested very well. James Cooks a mere white.

1018
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: They were loaded right, That's why the national champions I

1019
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: think the second takeaway would be that this was the

1020
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: fastest combine on record. I know there's been a lot

1021
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: to talk about. Some of that is because the pool

1022
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: of players who actually participated with smaller, some of it's

1023
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: because that new turf in India is really really fast.

1024
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: But I also think it's just a fast group. And

1025
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: we saw that at defensive tackle, we saw it at

1026
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver, we saw it at cornerback. And I think

1027
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: if you're a Buffalo Bills fan, that should get you

1028
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: excited because, especially as we talked about Chris Well, get

1029
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: a faster on offense, but also on defense, that corner

1030
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 1: spot opposite Trey White could be a premium pick need

1031
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: that could be around one, around two need. Looking at

1032
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: the speed of this corner class when you know in

1033
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs you're gonna see Kansas City, you might see

1034
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: Denver now with the receivers they have, you might see Cincinnati.

1035
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: Like you have to have some speed in depth corner.

1036
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: Having three guys back there who are starter caliber is

1037
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: paramount to how defenses are built. So I think when

1038
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: you look at the secondary class this year is definitely

1039
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 1: something to get excited about. Moving on to the big

1040
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: news from earlier in the week, with Russell Wilson going

1041
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: to Denver. Now, just what the AFC needs, another great

1042
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: quarterback added to the conference. There's like nobody left in

1043
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: the NFC besides a handful of guys in terms obviously,

1044
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: it stacks the AFC West in terms of quarterbacks. I'm

1045
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: curious how you feel about this though, as it pertains

1046
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: to the Bills. You know, we all suffer from Bills

1047
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: myopia here. But that move happens and people in Buffalo

1048
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: are thinking, oh, that's a good thing. Those guys can

1049
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: all beat up on each other in the AFC West,

1050
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: and you know in the AFC East, where Josh Allen

1051
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: is still king. Maybe this is a good thing if

1052
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: you're trying to secure home field advantage in the AFC's playoffs,

1053
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: if you're the Bills, I'm curious how you might see that. Well,

1054
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: I think that very logical to say, you know, the

1055
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, LA Chargers, you know, the Raiders and

1056
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: Broncos are going to beat each other up and maybe

1057
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: they would come out, you know, the two through seven seed.

1058
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: I think the other side of this, all four teams

1059
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: are playoff caliber. Like Derek Carr is the fourth best

1060
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in the FC West right now, he would be

1061
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in most divisions, right, it's very crazy.

1062
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: So I do think that there's some logic to that.

1063
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: And obviously a home field and Buffalo is a great advantage,

1064
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, because the wind, because the cold, the fans

1065
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: are fantastic. So I definitely think that there's you know,

1066
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: there's there's a valid excitement when it comes to that.

1067
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: And also I do think though that you want to

1068
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: I at least believe you want to beat the best.

1069
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills don't want to back into a

1070
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Maybe maybe you guys wouldn't care at this point, right,

1071
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: maybe he's be happy enough to be there. But I think,

1072
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, you look at it and say, hey, we

1073
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: want to beat Patrick Mahomes, we want to beat Joe Burrow.

1074
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: You want to get a little bit of revenge on

1075
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: the guys that have taken you out in recent years.

1076
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: So I do think the fcust is gonna be fun

1077
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: to watch. I'm very excited to someone who lives in

1078
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the country in AFC West Territory. I'm

1079
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna try to get into as many as those games possible.

1080
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: But it will be interesting to see what Russell Wilson

1081
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: looks like outside of Seattle. You know, he didn't play

1082
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: his best football last year. So we'll have to see

1083
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,479
Speaker 1: if this new system and new weapons that Snike lacked

1084
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: receivers in Seattle, right, we'll obviously if this new system

1085
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: is really what he needed to get back to being

1086
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback. And then what is the domino

1087
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: effect from the Russell Wilson moved here with the teams

1088
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: that still need quarterbacks. Obviously, this ratchet's up the pressure

1089
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: considerably on them. We know, Washington, at least according to reports,

1090
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: was hot and heavy after Russell Wilson. It didn't come

1091
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: to fruition. They still need one, obviously. Pittsburgh has their situation,

1092
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: Indianapolis what are they doing with Carson Wentz, you know,

1093
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: and Seattle. Seattle suddenly has to find an answer there too. Granted,

1094
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: they'll have, you know, the number nine pick now coming

1095
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: back to them from Denver, so maybe they swing on

1096
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: a rookie, although the class isn't overwhelmingly impressive. So how

1097
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: much pressure is on these other teams now to get

1098
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: a bonified answer in the wake of the Wilson deal? Yeah,

1099
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: I think you know, you look at it and say, okay,

1100
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: one team, Denver saw of their quarterback needs Seattle. Now

1101
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: there's another that has one, and like you mentioned, there's

1102
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: not a quarterback in this class that is a surefire

1103
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: top tip pick. So I think it makes you know

1104
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: the pressure on the Deshaun watching Watson situation. What's going

1105
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: to happen there. We should have some clarity this week hopefully.

1106
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: But then also you know, you have Mitch Trubisky right

1107
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: there in Buffalo as a free agent, someone who a

1108
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of people have been talking about. I heard more

1109
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: about Mitch Trubisky at the combine that I did Kenney Pickett,

1110
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: ormber Lake, Willis or Matt Corral or Desert. There's a

1111
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of excitement about him right in this year's class.

1112
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: So Jimmy Garoppolo, Mitch Trubisky, Jamis Winston, those are Marcus Mariota.

1113
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Those are the names that I think are probably going

1114
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: to be talked about the most over the next week

1115
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: and a half as we get to the legal tampering

1116
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: period which makes no sense, and then as we get

1117
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: into the actual signings. I think, you know, a Garoppolo

1118
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: trade and then those few free agent quarterbacks who have

1119
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: starting experience are the guys whose names are gonna be

1120
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: the hottest. Talking with ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller

1121
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: and speaking of quarterbacks, what is the future for Jordan

1122
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Love now? Like, do you think the Packers? I mean,

1123
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: we'll have to see what the final structure of Aaron

1124
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers deal is. It was originally reported as four years.

1125
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: He's disputing that now. I mean, if it's two years

1126
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: with an option for a third, maybe they hold on

1127
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: to Jordan Love. I don't know. But if I'm Jordan Love,

1128
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: I have no interest in plowing all the way through

1129
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: my rookie contract without getting on the field. So if

1130
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: you're in the Jordan Love camp, are you asking for

1131
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: a trade? You got teams that need quarterbacks. I don't

1132
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: know that I put my best foot forward in that

1133
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: chief start that I had last year, But still in

1134
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:39,919
Speaker 1: all I think a team might take a swing on him. Oh,

1135
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: I think they should. And yesterday that Aaron Rodgers news

1136
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: was broke, and I even tweeted it was like somebody

1137
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: asked gover Jordan Love, and I really thought it would

1138
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: be Denver because of Nathaniel Hockett, because the connection there.

1139
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: We quickly found out it was not going. But I

1140
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: do think at this point in time. Jordan Loves only

1141
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: twenty three years old. He's been in the NFL two years.

1142
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's only had that one start when

1143
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: he had like three days noticed he was gonna play

1144
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: against a very tough defense, a very confusing defense for

1145
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: a young quarterback to kind of diagnose and uncover, because

1146
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't even hold that game against him. And the

1147
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: other side of it is you could say, oh my gosh,

1148
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: this guy can't get on the field. He's behind Aaron Rodgers,

1149
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: who's a back to back MVP candidates. So with Jordan Love,

1150
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of unknowns, and I think right now

1151
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of NFL scouting departments having the same

1152
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having. When you look at Malik Willis

1153
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,479
Speaker 1: and Kenney Pickett and Desmond Ritter and Matt Crown, those guys,

1154
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: you have to say, what was our grade on Jordan

1155
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Love coming out of college when he was coming out

1156
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: of Utah State in twenty twenty, Where do we have

1157
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: him ranked Versus where do we have these guys ranked?

1158
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: And then you almost have to do like a moneyball

1159
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: analysis of Okay, the cost to get Jordan Love. It's

1160
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be a first round pick, it's probably not

1161
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a second round pick. So if you have

1162
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: a similar grade on him, would you rather send a

1163
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: third round pick for three more years of Jordan Love

1164
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: or spend a first round pick on a player that

1165
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: we also know nothing about. So I think that it

1166
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: is an interesting question. My hope would be just selfishly,

1167
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I think I want to see guys have an opportunity, like,

1168
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to go fail, do it on the

1169
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: field instead of well, you got sat behind arguably the

1170
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of this generation and never got to see

1171
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: the field, and people just kind of moved on and

1172
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: forgot about you. I would at least want to see

1173
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: him have the opportunity to prove himself. Seattle, The question

1174
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: now is, Matt, is this a total rebuild or are

1175
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: they going to reload? Obviously they shed a lot of

1176
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: cap restrictive contracts just by moving Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner,

1177
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: who they released, and so they have the wherewithal to

1178
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: sign free agents if they choose to do so. Your

1179
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: colleague Adam Schefter was on a program this morning and said,

1180
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: to his knowledge, Tyler Lockett and DK metcalf are staying

1181
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: put at least as of now, So that would indicate

1182
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: that they're probably trying to reload here. And then there

1183
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: are reports surfacing now they might be looking at Deshaun Watson,

1184
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,439
Speaker 1: depending on how his legal situation works itself out. So

1185
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: what is your feeling on the direction the Seahawks go.

1186
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: They have a lot of draft pickammo, they have salary

1187
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: cap ammo. It would seem to indicate they have the

1188
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: ability to reload if they want to. I think so

1189
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,439
Speaker 1: as well. And the other side of that is Pete

1190
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Carroll's not that young. He's I know, he's in a

1191
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: seventy one. He's right, this is not a spring chicken.

1192
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: He's not hanging out for a five year rebuild, right,

1193
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: So I do think I'm with you. On the surface,

1194
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: it looked like, oh my gosh, this is going to

1195
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: be a rebuild, right because Bobby Wagner's gone. But then

1196
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: you remember they drafted Jordan Brooks, who comped very favorably

1197
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: to Bobby Wagner coming out of college. It' say, okay,

1198
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: they were actually setting this up, and the trade of

1199
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I think it did shock a lot of people.

1200
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned, if they're able to get Deshaun

1201
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Watson if that legal situation is cleared up and teams

1202
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: are comfortable with him. You now have the ammunition to

1203
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: go get Deshaun Watson. And you still have Tyler Lockett

1204
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: and DK Metcalf. You still have you know, maybe they

1205
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: can bring back for Shot Penny at running back. It

1206
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: looks so good down the stretch last year. There are

1207
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of free agents o their offensive line, but

1208
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: we just mentioned they now have the cap flexibility to

1209
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: go after if plug some of those holes in the

1210
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. So I think Seattle is one of the

1211
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: more interesting teams to watch to see what direction they

1212
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: do go. I don't think getting Drew Locke says a

1213
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: whole lot about their plans or their intentions at quarterback.

1214
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I think that was a throw in pick basically, But

1215
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do. I think they are fascinating.

1216
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: If they can't get a Deshaun Watson, then I think

1217
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: you probably do look at it. So, okay, John Schneider

1218
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: has to look at rebuilding this team because you know,

1219
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, Mitch Trubisky, Marcus Mariota, those aren't long term options.

1220
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Those are stop gaps. Where you would go into twenty

1221
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty three's draft, where you would have two first round picks,

1222
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: you'd have two second round picks, and you would have

1223
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: the capitol if you need to to move up and

1224
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: get a CJ. Strout from Ohio State or Bryshan from Alabama. Yeah,

1225
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: NFL draftwise, Matt, you know we're talking for like twelve

1226
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: minutes about quarterbacks and free agency and you're a draft analysten,

1227
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you nearly enough draft questions. I'm fascinated

1228
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 1: by the depth at cornerback, the depth at receiver, and

1229
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: the lack of depth it seems at defensive tackle, where

1230
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: the Bills do have a positional need. I know you

1231
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: mocked Jamison Williams, and that makes complete sense to me.

1232
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm wondering now if the

1233
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: pool of top defensive tackles doesn't even get down to

1234
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: the Bills anymore because of the lack of depth, people

1235
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: are gonna be jumping on the big guys early, especially

1236
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: after the combine that Jordan Davis and DeVante Wyatt had.

1237
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm worried there's not the cupboard's gonna be bear by

1238
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the time you get to twenty five. It could be

1239
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: like you said, the two Georgia players should be off

1240
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the board, right they they may come off the word

1241
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: back to back to Cleveland at thirteen of Baltimore fourteen,

1242
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: they're that good. But I do think that you could

1243
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: look at someone like Travis Jones from Yukon a little

1244
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: bit more of a nose tackle type player, but he

1245
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: had a fantastic combine for Darren Matthist. Harry Winfrey are

1246
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: two other players, but they're probably Round two players in

1247
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: my opinion. So I think that is where it sets up.

1248
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: As you mentioned the depth that receiving the depth at corner,

1249
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: if a player happens to slip, if Jamison Williams is there,

1250
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: or Chris Olave from I stayed at receiver, you could

1251
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: probably pull the trigger there and then you know, look

1252
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: through subsequent rounds to find those defensive tackles because there

1253
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: is there's a big gap between DeVante Wyatt, Jordan Davis

1254
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: and the rest of this group. And I think an

1255
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,479
Speaker 1: interesting player for Buffalo specifically would be the Marvin Leo

1256
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: from Texas A and M. His former five star recruit

1257
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: flashed early in his career but really didn't quite have

1258
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: the impact over the last two years that you would

1259
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: have expected to see kind of an okay combine, not great.

1260
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: And there's a player that a lot of people think, oh,

1261
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: this is a first round player. Teams I've talked to

1262
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: you say, this is a guy that will be drafted

1263
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: outside of the top fifty, but has the potential to

1264
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: be a top twenty player. In this class, it's just

1265
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 1: about unlocking some of those tools that he has. And

1266
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: then at Corner, Matt, you know they need one in

1267
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the draft, they probably need one in free agency as well.

1268
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace may have played himself into a very nice

1269
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: second contract that the Bills just simply can't afford. So

1270
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: looking at Corner beyond round one, perhaps can you find

1271
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: I guess the question here is can you find starting

1272
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 1: caliber in round two? Maybe even round three if necessary? Yeah.

1273
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about this corner class is there's

1274
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: really one player, a mod Sauce Gardner, who's on a

1275
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: tier by himself. And then there is a little bit

1276
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: of a gap to Derek Stingley Jr. Who hasn't played

1277
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: very well the last two years. He's just played in

1278
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: ten games, is not an interception. Then you get to

1279
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: a cluster of players that are very closely graded together

1280
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: to where you know, could we see a kyer Elam

1281
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: slip to the twenty or excuse me, pick fifty five,

1282
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: pick sixteen in a second round? Absolutely we could. Martin

1283
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: Emerson didn't run that well at the combine, so he

1284
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: could definitely slip a little bit. So I do think

1285
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 1: a smart way to look at this as a fan

1286
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: of the Bills is how do you stack your board?

1287
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: If you get a receiver in round one, what's gonna

1288
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: be left and round two at corner? As opposed to

1289
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: if you take a corner and round one, something like

1290
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie or Roger McCreary, if you take that corner

1291
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: and round one, which receivers are gonna be available on

1292
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: round two? So you have to really look at it

1293
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: that way instead of, hey, let's just get a receiver

1294
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: here at corner here and everything set. You really have

1295
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: to look at the values and the depth that he's

1296
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: positioned it and try to piece together a draft board

1297
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: that way. And then finally, with the receiver class, we

1298
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: know it's deep. Yet again this year it's almost like

1299
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: an assumed luxury because the receivers are the woodwork from college,

1300
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: and the cost of receivers in the league is exorbitant,

1301
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering because the bills, you know, Beasley future

1302
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: very much up in the air. Gabriel Davis entering the

1303
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: final year of his rookie deal this year, and Diggs

1304
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: is someone that they're going to have to figure out

1305
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: an extension in some way, shape or form going forward.

1306
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: Maybe not this year, but definitely next year. They need

1307
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: a guy that can come on the scene and contribute

1308
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: right away. Does the depth go deep enough if they

1309
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: pass on a receiver in round one? Does the depth

1310
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: go deep enough where they could have somebody challenge for,

1311
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 1: you know, a top three role right out of the shoot.

1312
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I think in theory it does. But as you're saying this,

1313
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: so many teams have the same thought process. If we

1314
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: need three receivers, the cost of the wider position is

1315
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: getting crazy, and Mike Williams is getting twenty million dollars

1316
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: year f Chargers, so that cost is going up. People

1317
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: see it as, hey, let's just attack the draft, and

1318
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: so as you see here a ton of players, ton

1319
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 1: of wide your super is available. But how many teams

1320
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 1: are going to have that same philosophy? Up, let's grab

1321
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: these guys early. So could John Metschi be available in

1322
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the late second round, Absolutely because that knee injury that

1323
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: he suffered in the SECC championship game. But there's the

1324
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: other side of it. We could see a run on

1325
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:24,639
Speaker 1: this position within the top forty picks that seven, eight,

1326
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: maybe even nine of these players are off the board

1327
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: by the time midway through the second round rules around,

1328
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: and then you kind of get stuck. And I think

1329
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: that's where the Bills have to be careful is you

1330
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: don't want to get stuck. And that's why you know,

1331
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: Brandon being and his staff they have to be doing

1332
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: block drafts to see here's what we think about the

1333
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: team's drafting in front of us. Here's where we think

1334
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: some runs on these positions are going to happen, so

1335
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: that you don't find yourself sitting at twenty five and

1336
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: all the receivers are gone or so you don't bypass

1337
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: receiver in round one and get there in round two

1338
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: and any player with a starting grade has come off

1339
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: the board. So that's you know, the next fifty days

1340
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: are all about trying to figure out that how the

1341
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: draft board is gonna fall. Necessarily, You're grades are pretty

1342
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: much in at this point. Right now, it's trying to

1343
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: figure out how the draft is actually gonna fall. Super stuff. Matt,

1344
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time and the insight. We appreciate it,

1345
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: of course. All right, that's yeah, no problem, that's ESPN

1346
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller. We will take a break here,

1347
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Steve and I back with more in a moment. Here

1348
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live presented by Collid to Health. It's

1349
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. It's funny to see it fan out

1350
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: this way, and um, you know, I'm looking forward to

1351
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: playing with him. And he said he's a great athlete,

1352
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: he's a great player, and he's gonna he's gonna help

1353
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: his team win football games. The filter intercepted in the hand,

1354
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: Mike Hide hands it picked off, intercepted by charge porter.

1355
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: And you've got two safeties that work in unison. We

1356
01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: work away or not to be great promised. No, no, no,

1357
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: we all intercept Hide the five touchdown Buffalo all right,

1358
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: on this date five years ago, two of the most

1359
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: important building blocks that we've seen in the McDermott era.

1360
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: We're added to the roster. Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer

1361
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: Payer got signed to a four year seventeen million dollar deal,

1362
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: hide to a six year or sorry, a five year

1363
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 1: thirty million dollar deal. They've since signed extensions here in Buffalo.

1364
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer as an first team All Pro uh nod

1365
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: to his credit, and Micah Hyde has a Pro Bowl

1366
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: to his credit in their time here in Buffalo. And

1367
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: you want to talk about an pieces, Yeah, when you

1368
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: when you go back to look at what happened at

1369
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: the end of the of the drought, what caused it,

1370
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: and what happened to it all and all that you

1371
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: certainly Josh is a part of that. You know, in

1372
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 1: the subsequent years, McDermot and being are gonna get a

1373
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: ton of credit for doing that. But those two guys,

1374
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Micah and Jordan Poyer and Hyde have been you know,

1375
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: I think those guys belong on the Mount Rushmore of

1376
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the of the drought enders, right, I mean, those guys

1377
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: are the ones, wow, I mean pillar like right pieces,

1378
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: foundational pieces for the team we know today. They've been

1379
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: fantastic since day one. They have been the thing that

1380
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: other opponents of the Buffalo Bills have pointed at and saying, man,

1381
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: those guys are really a problem, real problem, and have

1382
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: been since the beginning. They are still here, still playing

1383
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: at a high level. Poyer putting together in All Pro

1384
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: season this year just fantastic, all of and I think

1385
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: both of the guys had five picks this year. Right

1386
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: for us and for you know, for casual fans, it's

1387
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: hard to pick out safety play and see what it is.

1388
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: And except for the guys around the ball all the time,

1389
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: and when you got two guys like that, you split

1390
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: that in half. It's hard. Sometimes it's hard to understand

1391
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: what they mean. But what they do more than anything

1392
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,600
Speaker 1: is they make it a problem for the opponent's quarterback

1393
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 1: to understand what the coverage is and therefore nowhere his

1394
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: eyes should go next. And the second thing is they

1395
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: just you know, they're great athletes. They make plays, and

1396
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: they're leaders. I mean, other guys rally around them. They're

1397
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: just as for the lack of a better way, it

1398
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: was not a splashy signing when they signed. They signed

1399
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 1: both of them the same dames like Okay yell Hide

1400
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: had been to the playoffs with the Packers and had

1401
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: had some success playing some nickel and you know, also

1402
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: a return guy for them, and the Bill said, this

1403
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: guy can be an ideal safety for US payer was

1404
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: coming off a lacerated kidney that had cut his season

1405
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: short in Cleveland after had finally started to get some

1406
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,799
Speaker 1: playing time on defense. So these guys came in here

1407
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: largely unproven, virtually unknown to Bills fans, and you know,

1408
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: have become critical pieces of a defense that has been

1409
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 1: top three against the pass passed for three of the

1410
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: last five years and number one this past season against

1411
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: the past and about ten other categories. So they have

1412
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: been critical pieces in what this team has done defending

1413
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: the past for the better for the last five years

1414
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: since McDermott showed up. And I've talked to I've talked

1415
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: to a lot of people around the league that no

1416
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 1: football you know, know the xs and os, and they say,

1417
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: you would be hard pressed to find a better tandem

1418
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: at safety in the league. You might find more better

1419
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: individually talented guys Derwin James, you know, run down the

1420
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: list of guys who are more supremely gifted, But in

1421
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: terms of a tandem that plays off of one another,

1422
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're going to find a better two,

1423
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: a better pair than these two, right, And I think

1424
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,600
Speaker 1: they have become synonymous with Bill's football, and particularly on

1425
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the of the Ledger. But whenever

1426
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,759
Speaker 1: you mentioned the guys that are really important, certainly you mentioned,

1427
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, guys like Milana, who's been such a great

1428
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: fine in Turnavious White and all that. But when you

1429
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: get down to the nuts and bolts of it, everybody

1430
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 1: mentions the two safeties, which is an unusual situation for

1431
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: most NFL teams. And I mean some teams have one,

1432
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, all like the Ed Red days of the

1433
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens or the Kansas City Chiefs with Tyrann Matthew.

1434
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Most people can name one of the safeties. You can't

1435
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: name both. And in Buffalo you can name both of them.

1436
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: Because they're so so integras. They've become success, they become

1437
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: poor and hide like. That's how people refer to them.

1438
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: If you think about it, they're they're referred to as

1439
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: a pairing, not individually, and I just think it speaks

1440
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,520
Speaker 1: to their ability to play off one another so effectively.

1441
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: I knew I had a better I mean, I always

1442
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 1: appreciated their contributions. They were readily apparent from the jump

1443
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. They made that defense better. When I

1444
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: started to gain a true appreciation for what they do

1445
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: on the field was when I had Bill Belichick on

1446
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: a conference call and I asked him what do they

1447
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 1: do that makes life hard for quarterbacks? And he started

1448
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: He didn't stop talking for about four minutes. He started

1449
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: in on and gave a dissertation on safety play. Yeah, yeah,

1450
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, he said, the most amazing thing

1451
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: they do, as in terms of his film study, is

1452
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: they will literally line up out of position at the

1453
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: snap and somehow get to their designated landmarks on a

1454
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:47,719
Speaker 1: given play and really make life difficult for opposing quarterbacks.

1455
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: And that's when Brady was still playing for him. So

1456
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 1: it tells you all you need to know. Yeah, a

1457
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: guy who knows defense and the history of this league

1458
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: maybe better than any other active coach. I mean, that's

1459
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: that's heaps of praise for those two guys. Yeah it is.

1460
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: And they've they've earned and they've been consistent as well.

1461
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: It's not like these guys have written a roller coaster

1462
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: of success. They've been good since day one. They've made

1463
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: a difference and they're just like I said, I think

1464
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 1: when you talk about this Bill's defense and what it

1465
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: was during the times when this team couldn't get to

1466
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,799
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So what it is now these two guys

1467
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: are on the on the mount rushmore. What's different? Yeah,

1468
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 1: as players, So certainly you can say yeah it was

1469
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, being and McDermot and all that. But if

1470
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: you're putting players on that, those two guys might both

1471
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: be there right And you know what we now look

1472
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: back upon as a pretty historic day in what this

1473
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: team is today. They signed both of these guys on

1474
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: March ninth, twenty seventeen. Pretty cool. The terms are in

1475
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: for the trade between the Colts and the Commanders today

1476
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: that Sen Carson wents to Washington as he now will

1477
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: play for his third team in three seasons. The Colts

1478
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: get a third round pick this year, a conditional third

1479
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: round pick next year that can become a second round

1480
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,839
Speaker 1: pick if Carson Wentz plays seventy percent of the snaps

1481
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: on offense for the Commanders this coming season, and they

1482
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: also get a second round pick. But this is a swap.

1483
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: It is a swap of second round draft choices where

1484
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: basically the Colts move up from pick forty seven to

1485
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: pick forty two in the second round, and obviously Washington

1486
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: slides back five spots to the forty seventh pick, and

1487
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: the Commanders obviously get Carson Wentz as well and his

1488
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars base salary this year. Colts eat

1489
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: a fifteen million dollars cap hit, but they had cat

1490
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: money to spend or burn in this case, So Carson

1491
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Wentz one year with the Colts and Dunze there you go.

1492
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: He's Do you think he's a lot to be the

1493
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: starter for the Commanders this year? And also absolutely absolutely

1494
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,480
Speaker 1: for what they gave up, you kind of have to, right, absolutely,

1495
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: you have to at least try it. It's not even

1496
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: a conversation. They'll get roasted if they don't put him

1497
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: in there. Do you think they And I'll tell you this,

1498
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: You're going to open the season against Philly. They play

1499
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: Philly twice in the Colts once this year, so that'll

1500
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 1: be interesting. Um, do you think they draft one? They

1501
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: have Taylor Heineke under contract, so he was the he's

1502
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 1: the presumed back up to Wentz. Do you think they

1503
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 1: draft one? I'd say no, I don't think so. No, No,

1504
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's not a great class, don't think I

1505
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: think probably not even late From yeah, from what I

1506
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: know about Carson Wentz them drafting. All. Yeah, he doesn't

1507
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: take well of that, right, I mean, I think hurts, right,

1508
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: I think he. I think he crumples into a corner

1509
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: if you do that. So they want to get the

1510
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 1: most out of him. They want us prop him up

1511
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: as best as they can, both emotionally and on the

1512
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: field with weapons and a good offense and all that stuff.

1513
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: So I don't think they'll do that. All right, let

1514
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: me flip it around. With cap money to spend, we

1515
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: are fully anticipating the Colts to go after a veteran

1516
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 1: quarterback on the free agent market, especially with the roster

1517
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: they have. They can win now. If they get the quarters,

1518
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: they can't trade make another trade as well. Right do

1519
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: you think they draft one though for the future, not

1520
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: without moving up. They'll have to move up to get

1521
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: the guy they want, because they're they're picking round two

1522
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 1: is now at forty two, I think we would anticipate

1523
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks go in the first round. They might have

1524
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: a look at Sam Howell. I think I think more

1525
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: than likely they make a play for a guy like

1526
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or something like that, you know what I mean.

1527
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: I think that's more Okay, you know what I mean,

1528
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: So you have to him the trade. They just package

1529
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: up some trades and get Jimmy G. And then or

1530
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: also and because I think it's that because they'll go

1531
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: outside the conference. Niners won't care if Jimmy G goes

1532
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: to the Colts over the other conference. Okay, Um, They'll

1533
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: look around for likely candidates and see if they can

1534
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: get somebody Otherwise, you're looking at Bridgewater, Winston or tub Yeah,

1535
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: Trubisky as well. I mean, those are the only guys

1536
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: that you would say can start Trubisky's I think Trubisky

1537
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: is the guy, and the Colts have got a ton

1538
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: of cash to spend. That's what I'm saying. I think

1539
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: it's more likely. I think it's more likely to swing

1540
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 1: at Trubisky. I think so too, a better player in

1541
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: Trubisky than Garoppolo, as I think they do. But you know,

1542
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we're looking now at the list. It's Bridgewater,

1543
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, Mitch Trubisky, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andy Dalton, Cam Newton,

1544
01:22:54,320 --> 01:23:01,639
Speaker 1: Mariota Tyrod, Jacoby Brissett, and Brian Hoyer. Mitch Drubisky's the guy.

1545
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: The Colt and the Colts will be talking all those guys.

1546
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: But Mitch Drubisky is the guy now. Also, I don't

1547
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: think he goes say this too. Yeah, because there's wide

1548
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: open starting jobs elsewhere. Yeah, Pittsburgh, Indie, Seattle, you know

1549
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, hello, it all it will come

1550
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: down to Tampa. It will come down. Yeah, there you go.

1551
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 1: It'll come down to the opportunity. And quite frankly, Brownie,

1552
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to the money. And the Colts

1553
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: have got ton of it. Show so do the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah.

1554
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't even think the Steelers have as much as

1555
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: the Colts too, So yeah, so there, yeah they don't.

1556
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 1: Nobody's got more than the Colts. Colts have more than

1557
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 1: anybody do. They've got like seventy million. They're at the top. Yes,

1558
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: they're at the top. There was another team that was

1559
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: pretty high in that range. Um, we'd have to look

1560
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: it up to get it off, look it up real quick.

1561
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: But as I know, it's changing too. It's a moving target.

1562
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 1: As a cap space. The Colts have sixty nine million,

1563
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 1: and the Chargers have fifty seven million. The Seahawks have

1564
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: fifty million, the Dolphins have forty nine million. Those are

1565
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,959
Speaker 1: the top ones. I was thinking of the Dolphins. Yeah,

1566
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. May is that Chargers number updated with the

1567
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: Mike Williams contract that just took twenty million off, looks

1568
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: like it. They got forty seven guys signed through the Chargers,

1569
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 1: so they're not up to the fifty one yet. So

1570
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,680
Speaker 1: they only got forty seven guys under the under the

1571
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: under contract. Colts have fifty four Seahawks fifty you know,

1572
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: and for those of you interested, the Bills have fifty

1573
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: two and they are two hundred grand over the cat right, yeah,

1574
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 1: after the release, after the release of AJ So this

1575
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 1: is up to date, okay, And so yeah, I'd heard

1576
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: it was seventy million for the Colts and that's what

1577
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: it is at sixty nine point three, so that Yeah,

1578
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 1: they've got tons of money to spend. They always seem to.

1579
01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. They do a

1580
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: really nice job of but there you have it. So

1581
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:04,639
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are in the in the driver's

1582
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 1: seat for mister Trubisky. I think they've probably been on

1583
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: the phone with him already before making this trade. But

1584
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: nothing set in stone until it's setting stone. It's this move,

1585
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,719
Speaker 1: This quarterback movement has shuffled the deck. It makes it interesting.

1586
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: Well for free agency. Yeah, usually it's teams saying, you

1587
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 1: know what, Philip Rivers, we've loved it, You're gonna move on.

1588
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: They move on, and they go, you know, you see

1589
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 1: it coming. Ben Roethlisberger retires or whatever. Even Tom Brady

1590
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: no goes out on the here see it coming. These

1591
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: trades trade. Let's face it. Pete Carroll said last week

1592
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: said we have no intention to trade in Russell Wilson,

1593
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: and then we had yesterday. It's like, well, after weeks

1594
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: of conversations, right, Pete, you liar, you know it comes out.

1595
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: So these trades always kind of tend to happen behind

1596
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: the scenes, nobody knows about, and then they just like

1597
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: get dropped on all of us, right in our lap.

1598
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: So that's kind of cool. But I don't think we're

1599
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 1: done now that this has happened, because there's now there's

1600
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 1: some gaping holes for teams that have got to have

1601
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: Like the Colts, they've got to have expectations to get

1602
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: into the playoffs this year. I mean they've that is,

1603
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 1: they've got to be bitter, as bitter as the Bills

1604
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 1: fans are about thirteen seconds. The Colts have got to

1605
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: be there still bitter. They traded Carson went there even

1606
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: they could do better after one bad after one bad game,

1607
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: not a bad year, a bad game. Yeah, that's a

1608
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 1: pretty seismic decision, isn't it. When you're doing that. I

1609
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: think there's after one really bad game. And I say this,

1610
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: that's why there's speculation about maybe there was other stuff.

1611
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: I just think the Colt Frank stuck his neck out

1612
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: for that guy, and he had a productive season, and

1613
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: it sounded like he was still believer in him. He said, no,

1614
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: I still believe him as a player. He's still got

1615
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot of football at him. But I think the

1616
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: owner and the and the GM are like, he's not

1617
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: the guy. We're not gonna pay him that money because

1618
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 1: he's not the guy. Let's get a guy, all right.

1619
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what it came down to.

1620
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 1: And I think that one bad game against Jacksonville in

1621
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Week eighteen did it to him. We've seen a vision

1622
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 1: opponent's bottom feeder team. We've seen it before where over

1623
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: decades past, and maybe it's not prevalent or whether at

1624
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: the last cut of the preseason, guy has one bad

1625
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: game in the preseason, they're going yeah, he's not the guy,

1626
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: and they get rid of him at all positions, not

1627
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: just a quarterback. Yeah. Yeah, guy throws or a guy

1628
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: throws a pick at the wrong time and the head

1629
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: coach that's it. We're done, you know, No, we're done

1630
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:32,440
Speaker 1: with that kind of thing happens. That's what happened in Indianapolis.

1631
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: He could because Carson wins is for all that's been

1632
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: said about him, and he yeah, he's got issues, no question,

1633
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, you tell me his issues are

1634
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: are bigger than mac Jones, too big enough to move him.

1635
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 1: It's those other guys. Nobody waits anymore. James's care what

1636
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: the cap hit is. If the quarterbacks not getting it done,

1637
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: we can't win. We're moving on. And that's what the

1638
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: Colts did today. Amazing. We take a break here, Steve

1639
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: and I wrap it up next here on One Bill's Live,

1640
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:12,679
Speaker 1: presented by Collid of Health, It's Buffalo Bill Radio. There

1641
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:17,080

Speaker 1: teams try to resign their own. It's just in the

1646
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: And uh, it looks like the NFL lost a long

1647
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: time referee. Johnny Greer Oh no, yeah, former head official

1648
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: for Super Bowl twenty two, also worked as an officiating

1649
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 1: supervisor for the league. Johnny Greer passed away today at

1650
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: age seventy four. One thing that you might not know

1651
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: about Johnny Greer has sisters who are the Pointer sisters.

1652
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: No kids as sisters, Yeah, look at that. He was

1653
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: also a pretty a pioneer figure because he was the

1654
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 1: first black head referee on a crew in NFL history.

1655
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Condolences to his family. That's sorry to see him go.

1656
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: That is it for us today. I am sure we

1657
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 1: will have plenty more NFL news and notes. Can we
