1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: the stratosphere of normalcy here reving it up here on

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as always

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live, or at least most of the time. Anyway,

7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: You and I both have some vacation coming up, so

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: we'll be in and out a little bit here over

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: the next week or so, but that's for later. The

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: thing we're dealing with now is the NFL Draft, Steve

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: and a seismic trade between the Eagles and the Saints.

12
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: What do you think when you read that, I'd have

13
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: made my head hurt. Yeah, and it's kind of it

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: sounded like a desperate move by the Saints. And we

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: can get into the ins and outs in that. Basically,

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles got five picks in exchange for three picks,

17
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: and while the first rounders are even Stephen, you know,

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles get two first round picks coming to them.

19
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: The Saints get two first round picks going to them,

20
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: most notably this year at sixteen and nineteen. The bottom

21
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: line is the Eagles still have two first rounders. They

22
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: had three prior to the trade, they still have two

23
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: coming out of the trade. They now pick at fifteen

24
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: and eighteen, while the Saints pick at sixteen and nineteen

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: this year. And then on top of that, the Eagles

26
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: get a three and a seven this year and then

27
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: get a first and a second rounder in the next

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: two years added on. So now multiple first and second

29
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: rounders for the Eagles in each of the next two drafts,

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: while the Saints you know, have two firsts now and

31
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: a sixth added to their so for this collection to

32
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: pick for this year, for this draft, the Eagles gave

33
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: up two firsts, which is sixteen to nineteen. Now they

34
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: still have the fifteenth right and they got a fifteenth pick,

35
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: but they gave up the sixteenth pick in the nineteenth pick,

36
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: but they get pick eighteen back the eighteenth. So they

37
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: went from three first rounders to two first rounders that

38
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: are collectively i mean higher than the ones they gave up.

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: And then then the next couple of drafts they get

40
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: a first another first round pick, and they get a

41
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: second round pick in twenty twenty four, and they also

42
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: get a third in the seventh and this year's I mean,

43
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: the math makes your head ache, but I think the

44
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: year yeah, no question, even in the short term, it's

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: a great move for them. They got two first round picks.

46
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: They get they give up sixteen and nineteenth for the

47
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: eighteenth and was a third plus a seventh this year

48
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: and they've already and they still they so they picked

49
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: fifteenth and eighteenth. I mean, this is a no brainer.

50
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I could have figured out they

51
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: had a pile of capital. They had three first round

52
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: picks fifteen, eight, fifteen, sixteen, and nineteen they were picking.

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: The Eagles were picking fifteen, sixteen, and nineteen. Now they're

54
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: picking fifteen and eighteen. They have an extra one, and

55
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: they get an extra They get an extra third pick

56
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: this year, an extra seventh round pick this year. Next

57
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: year they'll have another two first round picks and two

58
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and the year after that they'll have an extra second

59
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: round pick. I mean, they get it. I could have

60
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: said yes to that deal as you don't. You don't

61
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: need a PhD in football to figure out this is

62
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: so you ask yourself, what are the Saints doing? Here

63
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: is my theory. I think the Saints have come to

64
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the realization that the salary cap gymnastics that they have

65
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: been going through for the better part of the last

66
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: five years has got to change. They can't do it anymore.

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: And I think they're in a spot now where they realize,

68
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: even with all of the cap maneuvers they made this

69
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: offseason to sign a handful of veterans, they don't have

70
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: enough money left to field a roster. That's right, they

71
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: have to invest heavily in draft picks to get cheap

72
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: labor on rookie contracts, but they also need guys that

73
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: can play right now, right exactly. They gotta get guys

74
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: that can play. They can't just say I'll give you, you

75
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, one sixth for two sevenths people that they

76
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: feel good about playing right now. Yeah, they got to

77
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: get guys on the field that can play. And that's

78
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: if they because they want to stay competitive. I would

79
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: think they're going to try and stay competitive, and high

80
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: draft picks will give you a chance to do that.

81
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, and the interesting part of this

82
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be to see how a team like Los

83
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Angeles handles it the Rams, because they're doing the exact

84
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: same thing that they are kicking everything down the road.

85
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Given up draft pick after draft pick after draft pick

86
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: after draft pick. Literally, Yeah, and just signing great players

87
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: to these long term deals they've got. They've got, like

88
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I think they've got like five or six guys that

89
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: are making twenty million each and they Bobby Wagner, who's

90
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: making ten a year. So these you know, these teams

91
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: are gonna have to pay the piper at some point.

92
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: Let's see what that means long term. They've done a

93
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: hell of a job of out running the cap for

94
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: several years now. And you know what they'll think about it.

95
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: What did get them? Got them one super Bowl that

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: was two appearances. One Championship that was two appearances, and

97
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: they probably will tell you they should have had the

98
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: rams of years five years ago when they got this.

99
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: You were talking about the Saints. Yea, the Saint They've

100
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: had some bad luck in the playoffs, Miracle Music, Minneapolis Miracle.

101
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: They were the losers in that game, and then the

102
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: non call in to kill Robie Coleman for past interference

103
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: and the non call heard round the world. Yeah, that's

104
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: so they had those two as well, plus getting into

105
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl um against the Colts in Super Bowls

106
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: way back in forty seven. It was two thousand and nine, right, Okay,

107
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: a long time ago, but that's how long they've been

108
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: pushing it back. Or was it twelve I think it was, No,

109
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: twelve was I've got my gosh, it was ten years.

110
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: Is a great radios at least ten years. It's a

111
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: great radio right now, you're ten years ago was going on.

112
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, so they got they had a chance.

113
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about it, Brownie, you could do that,

114
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff with the with the Saints had done

115
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: and what the Rams are doing. And now the Rams

116
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: got there once scored three points. They got there this

117
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: last time and won the game against the Cincinnati Bengals team.

118
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: The Saints kept getting there because they had the quarterback

119
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: that the Rams didn't have for those first handful of

120
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: years until this year. The Saints kept getting back with

121
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: because of Drew Brees. And they got put out in

122
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: the championship game by the Rams in a non call.

123
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: They got put out by the Minneapolis Ment. That's the

124
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: thing that'll cause you to just absolutely crumple into a ball.

125
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: You do everything right and you get put out by

126
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: some unbelievable miracle. But this is how desperate the Saints.

127
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Are they lose in a trade just so they have

128
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: two first round picks to make sure they can add

129
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: players to put on the field this year. But to

130
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: do that, they actually mortgaged their own draft future, because

131
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: now they don't have a one next year and they

132
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: don't have a two in twenty twenty four. Now, could

133
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: they recoup those draft picks and get some draft capital back? Yeah,

134
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: by trading some veteran players, maybe throwing some overboard, you know,

135
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: in the next couple of off seasons. Maybe they do

136
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: that and get some draft capital back. But on its face, today, man,

137
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: you not only lost the trade while you improved your

138
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: draft capital in the immediate future. Later this month, Man,

139
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 1: did you mortgage it over the next two years. Here's

140
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: the thing, and here's what they're they must be counting on,

141
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: and we can all relate to this. It'll all work

142
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: out fine for the Saints. They'll stay competitive, they can

143
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: win the division whatever if they do one thing, hit

144
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: on every single draft pick they have left. And let's

145
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, they're just not going to They're just

146
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: not going to. Well, yeah, they say, you can get

147
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: yourself out from all these financial problems. You can get

148
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: yourself out from all this these problems. You can. You

149
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: can outrun the cap for as long as you want.

150
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: If you're going to do the things that they've done.

151
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: If every single one of these draft picks they've just traded,

152
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: and I mean everyone means the six, seventh, and eighth

153
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: and six and seventh rounders two, if they hit and

154
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: get players on all of those and it's just it's

155
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. And how far, how far far

156
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: short they fall depends on how far they fall short

157
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: of getting every guy. If they only get one of

158
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: those six guys or one of the five guys the

159
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: remaining they're done, They're gonna they're gonna be. They're gonna

160
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: be the New Orleans Saints of the nineteen seventies. You

161
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: know that's what's gonna happen. I don't think Dennis Allen's

162
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: happy to hear that um. And speaking of the Saints,

163
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: they are hosting Tyranne Matthew on a free agent visit.

164
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: The Louisiana native now has Saints fans hopeful that there

165
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: will be a homecoming. So we'll see what comes of

166
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: that um. Outside the world of football, I know you

167
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: had a big old watch party for the National Championship

168
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: for the men's basketball. Very sleepy your watch party. Yeah

169
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: you're your your wife is a Ku, a lum. Yeah,

170
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: I must be very happy. It's a good day to

171
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: be a native Kansen. If you had to pick, if

172
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: I had to pick a Division One school, there was

173
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: you know one of those, it would be KU if

174
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't Northwestern, the team the school I went to.

175
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: But um, you know if as a powerhouse, you're talking

176
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: about Duke, North Carolina, Villanova, K you're a blue blood Kentucky, Louisville,

177
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: Indiana or whatever, all the schools you can go down

178
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: the list, o, K you would be the school because

179
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: I grew up out there and my wife was as

180
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: a lum. Right, ye, so you can imagine we were

181
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: sitting there watching and the thing tipped off I think

182
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: it one thirty in the morning last night. It's finished. No,

183
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: it tipped off at one, tipped off nine twenty at night. Yeah,

184
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: well start, and plus the fact that it was in

185
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans, which is an hour behind us nine twenty

186
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: tip last night, So we're there and you know, we're like,

187
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, so we're watching it and uh, first half

188
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: did not go well, I was thinking, well, you know,

189
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: this might be okay, because when you'd be able to

190
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: doze off in the second half and we'll just call

191
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: it quits and be sad and go sleep. Then you know,

192
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: Kau in the first ten minutes of the second half

193
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: comes back from fifteen down to take the lead, and

194
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: it's just it's off the off the hook. From there on,

195
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: it was a great game down the stretch, and North

196
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: Carolina right at the end had a couple of unbelievably

197
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: bad breaks. Bay Coot rolls, rolls his hank one of

198
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: the guards rolls his ankle all by himself. Yeah there, Yeah,

199
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Caleb Love rolls his ankle early on, he's walking around.

200
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: I looked like he had a ruptured at Killies. I mean,

201
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: he was limping so bad for a minute. So he

202
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: kind of ran that off. Bay Coot late, I mean,

203
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: like in the last minute and a half, rolls his ankle.

204
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: He's off the court. And then at the very end

205
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: of it, Manic the guy who was really a catalyst

206
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: for his for UNC the entire night, he was the

207
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: guy defensively and offensively. He was the guy for him

208
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: last night. He falls down trying to break off a

209
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: screen on the final inbound play when they needed a

210
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: three to tie to a force overtime. He falls. He

211
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: absolutely falls and can't get up. They have to take

212
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: some off the cuff shot and it's an airball almost

213
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: into the game's over. Now, unbelievably bad breaks for UNC

214
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: last night. I became a Kansas fan thanks to Danny Manning.

215
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's about my era. Yeah, so yeah, a

216
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: little behind me. Growing up down state, Saint John's was

217
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: my number one team and they still are, even though

218
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: they're not even a shred of what they used to be.

219
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, at the height of the Big East days,

220
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: and it was I mean, they took over the city

221
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: because back then the nick sucked. They weren't any good.

222
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: So Saint John's was New York basketball and we all

223
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: jumped on board. So that was a lot of fun

224
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: at that time. And I remember my dad took me

225
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: to a holiday festival. Back before you saw all these

226
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: big ten ACC Coaches Challenge Series and all of that stuff,

227
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the big cities would host these holiday

228
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: festival tournaments. It would just be a weekend deal. Four teams,

229
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: two of the you know, they you have two teams

230
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: playing each other for the four and then whichever teams

231
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: won those games would play in a final game on

232
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: a Saturday or a Sunday. So my dad for my

233
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: sixteenth birthday got me tickets to one of these holiday

234
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: festivals at Madison Square Garden. And I'm not going to

235
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: remember the opponents, but it was Saint John's against somebody.

236
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: They always had a local, big local team playing at

237
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the garden, so it was Saint John's against somebody. And

238
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: then it was Kansas playing in. I can't even remember,

239
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm most interested in watching Saint John's play.

240
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: So you know Saint John's plays. They win the first game.

241
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Kansas comes in and it's Danny Manning and no offense

242
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: to everybody else, a bunch of guys like good players,

243
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: but not world beaters, and Danny Manning's like the whole team.

244
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: I've never seen a ball come out of a player's

245
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: hand so quickly. On a turnaround jumper from the baseline,

246
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Danny Manning would have his back to the basket, post

247
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: up and then drift. He didn't even fade away, it

248
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: was more like a drift as he pirouetted towards the

249
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: basket and before his shoulders were squared in the basket,

250
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: the ball would miraculously be out of his hand already.

251
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: It was almost impossible to block. He was like six nine,

252
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: six ten. He's down on the post and he would

253
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: turn to the basket and I'm telling you, he's three

254
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: quarters of his way through his turn around and the

255
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: balls out of his hander. I don't know how he

256
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: did that. I was fascinated by it. Yeah, like, how

257
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: is he making these shots? He's not even square, like

258
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, you taught square up your shoulders to the basket,

259
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: you know. Unbelievable. And so ever since then, I was hooked.

260
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: So then I'm watching them every time they're on, you know,

261
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: because it used to be seven o'clock Big East Game,

262
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: nine o'clock back then, I think it was still the

263
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Big Eight, Big Eight, and so I'd be glued to

264
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: the TV from like seven to eleven, you know, as

265
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: a teenager. And Kansas was on a lock because they

266
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: were good that year. They go all the way to

267
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: the final and they are gigantic underdogs against Oklahoma. That

268
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: was the Stacey King team with a bunch of Mookie Blaylock,

269
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: bunch of guys on that team and Billy Tubbs was

270
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the head coach, and god, I hated that guy. I

271
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: couldn't even look at him now. It also helped that

272
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: the head coach of Kansas was Larry Brown. Larry but

273
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: was a Long Island native. Um, so you know, they're

274
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: huge underdogs. In the eighty eight final, Danny Manning puts

275
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: the team and the state of Kansas on his back

276
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and they run Oklahoma out of the gym playing their style.

277
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: Oklahoma was the up and deck down team because they

278
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: went ten deep. Billy Tubbs would sub guys in at

279
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: the drop of a hat, and Kansas was like seven

280
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: eight deep, and I still remember Billy Packer and I

281
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: think it was still I think it was Jim Nance. Yeah.

282
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: During the game, they're going, I don't know if Kansas

283
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep up this pace. They only

284
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: go seven or eight deep, this is gonna be tough.

285
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Danny Manning played the entire game start to finish, and

286
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: he dominated. So I was like, I was hooked after that.

287
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean like I saw him in February and then

288
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: two months, you know, two months later, they win the

289
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: national title. I was on board, so they were like

290
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: my team number two. After that, and so my son

291
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: still jaws at me. Ah, you're a band I'm bann

292
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, how can I be a on the bandwagon

293
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: since eighty eight? That's right? Yeah, So I enjoyed the game, la,

294
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: I was gripping a little bit. I was. I was, Yeah,

295
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: I was getting the North staff was really something's missing

296
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: free through and UC was really playing well. MANNI was

297
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: playing well. Um, they're a plucky team. Baylock was really

298
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: playing well. And bay Coot I'm sorry I call him Baylock.

299
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: It's bay Coock, Baycot bay Coot. I'm now like Charles Barkley,

300
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: just whatever, just make it sound right. So but yeah,

301
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: UNC put together a really good half and up fifteen.

302
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I you thought I half well. And here's

303
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: the thing. So, being a Kansas fan, I would watch

304
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of their games this year. Um,

305
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: because Big twelve is on a lot on ESPN, usually

306
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: of the nine o'clock game. That's because, yeah, it's because

307
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: they're Central time and Kansas is on all the time,

308
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: because they're a top ten team, and they have had

309
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: second halfs like that before. As a matter of fact,

310
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: they just did it in the Elite eight to get

311
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: to the final of their second half against Miami, they

312
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: ran him out of the gym. Oh my gosh. It

313
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: was just Yeah, So I was, I was, I was

314
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: gripping a little bit, but I was like, well, they've

315
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: had second halfs, big second halfs before. They're obviously gonna

316
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: need it now, so let's see if it happens. And

317
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: then it happened. I mean McCormick has the rim rocker

318
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: on the second basket of the second half, and I mean,

319
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that's the shot in the arm

320
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: and off they go, and it was just it was great.

321
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: So I was, I was sweating it, right, Yeah, for

322
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I was. I was ready. Yeah,

323
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: that was as much basketball as I've watched the entire

324
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: thing last night. But they they were the best team.

325
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: They might not player for player, be the most talented team,

326
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: but they were the best team in terms of playing

327
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: off one another. You know, this guy takes all right,

328
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: let me take a couple of shots. Let me you know,

329
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have like one true go to guy where

330
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: if that guy had an off night, they were screwed. Yeah,

331
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: the kid, Remy came out of nowhere. From Remy Martin

332
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: came out and hit hit like three three throughout the

333
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: second half, and they were stressed and they were right

334
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: on time. I was in the last seven minutes of

335
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: the game. They were right on time, and that that

336
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: kind of said, wow, okay, then you know, it was

337
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: it looked like UNC was gonna hold Kansas off and

338
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of claw its way to the victory. And because

339
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: it was just too much to dig out of. But

340
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: Remy Martin just yeah and I and I had I

341
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: was getting angry because the previous two games he had

342
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: played a very passive role offensively. We're in the first

343
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: two rounds. He had twenty points in each of the

344
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: first two games, and he could take anybody off the

345
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: dribble anytime he wants. He is that fast and quick,

346
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: and he wasn't doing it. And then he finally went

347
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: to the hole a couple of times late in that game.

348
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean he essentially plays like twenty of the forty

349
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: minutes he had sixteen points. I mean that was big.

350
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: So it was it was a fun game. Uh, you know,

351
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: felt bad for the Carolina kids. They worked really hard

352
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: to get there as an eight seed, which was probably

353
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: wrong from the jump. But there's a lot of fun

354
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: watching that other non football news Steve that I know

355
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: you're excited about. Tiger Woods is going to play in

356
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: the Masters. He's won five Green jackets in his career.

357
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: I was watching the press conference this morning. He said

358
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: he believes he can win the event. He said. Somebody

359
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: asked him, like, hey, you always say you're not going

360
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: to enter a tournament unless you think you can win.

361
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: Do you think you can win? He said, yeah, I

362
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: think I can win. He goes, hitting the balls not

363
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: the problem. It's walking the course. Yeah, because he's got

364
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: basically two rods and an untold number of screws in

365
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: his surgically repaired leg. After he hit a tree. It's

366
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: seventy four miles an hour. Yeah, a little over a

367
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: year ago. I mean we're talking January, right, twenty twenty one,

368
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: so it's a little over a year. We're talking like

369
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: sixteen months. Yeah, I thought it was almost And they

370
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: were asked longer than that. I thought they were asking

371
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: him about pain, and he says, yeah, I have pain

372
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, he goes, the pain will get better,

373
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: but not this week. Right, So what's going to be

374
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: huge for him is how he feels after walking that course,

375
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: which any professional golfer. If you've heard them talk, the

376
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Masters is one of the most difficult courses to walk

377
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: because it is there is no flat area. I've been

378
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: there bunching, one of the hilliest courses. Right, that's the thing,

379
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: can't you really don't get from the television coverage, never

380
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: has been able to show the elevation changes, the way

381
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: they are at the course when you're there. It's it's

382
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: striking how up and down it is, he said, He said,

383
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: the only flat part of Augusta are the eighteen tea boxes.

384
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, that's right, that's right. You go off,

385
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: you go off the tea you come up. You know,

386
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: the clubhouse sits on a hill, although you come in

387
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: from the road and you get up there, you go

388
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: to the clubhouse on a flat line, and behind the

389
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: clubhouse the entire regions dripps away. And so the whole

390
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: course is built on the kind of the side of

391
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: that hill with a creek running down on the bottom.

392
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: And it's in spots it's severe and I can you know,

393
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: and plus it's not your local muni course where it's

394
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, it plays about sixty five hundred yards long,

395
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: six thousand, five hundred yards long. It's a you know,

396
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: it's a seventy three hundred seventy four hundred yard track

397
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: and you know you're walking. You know they're walking. How

398
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: is it? It's like six miles five miles They're walking

399
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: and swinging the club. It's not easy. It's a long day.

400
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: And his mobility, he said, his mobility is forever compromised

401
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: by the leg injury from the car accident. And he said,

402
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: one of the biggest things that will help me get

403
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: through the rounds is how much I can get the

404
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: swelling down at night after walking on the leg all day.

405
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: And yes, it's that's gonna be. Here's the thing that's

406
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna be as big as challenge these guys and their pros.

407
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: And I've interacted very limitedly with these guys as compared

408
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: to other sports obviously, but they have you know, they

409
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: travel with teams. You got a trainer, they got you know,

410
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: mental coach, they got a swing coach, they got a

411
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, a dietitian slash chef that feeds him. All

412
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: these guys kind of have their routine. And you gotta

413
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: think Tiger's routine is one he's been doing since he

414
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: was what nineteen now he's forty. It's completely Yeah, it's

415
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: completely different than it ever has been. Now. Well, not

416
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: to mention the fact that he now he has a physiologist,

417
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: a physical therapist, right, and an athletic trainer basically treating

418
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: him after every round. He's not doing anything the same

419
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: that he did just eighteen months ago. It's all different.

420
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: So whatever comfort and mental rest he got from the

421
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: routine of his week in a major is going to

422
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: be completely in upheaval as well. Um now for good reason. Obviously,

423
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna make him feel better physically, but his routine

424
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: is shot. I mean, he's gonna be doing he's gonna

425
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: be you know, he's got his foot up on ice

426
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: or his leg up on ice, you know, for two

427
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: hours after the round. Um, it'll be interesting too how

428
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: it affects his ability to go up and wrap up

429
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: the round on the range, because these guys go play eighteen,

430
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: then they go back and they'll whatever shots on the

431
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: course that they hit that they hit stinky, they'll go

432
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: hit those shots to make sure they don't hit him

433
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: stinky again. Right, they practice, they practice. The shots that

434
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: they hit poorly are the ones that they you know,

435
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: didn't get Then they'll practice the other and then they'll

436
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: practice the normal hits and all that, and then they'll

437
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: pudd a little bit more. Then they'll then they'll leave, right,

438
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: So they'll clean their game up after the round and

439
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: wrap up any issues they've got with it, or at

440
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: least find out what's going on with those issues and

441
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: what's causing them, and then they'll take off, go back,

442
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: eat something and get some sleep and get ready for tomorrow.

443
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know he'll be able to do that. You know,

444
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: how how much do you gonna swing after that round?

445
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: After he's he's gonna have to save it for the morning, right,

446
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: which means, well, okay, if he's gonna do it in

447
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: the morning, and then that might be right. He's got

448
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: to be limited in the morning because he's got to

449
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: be ready and fresh save himself. So the way that

450
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, the way they operate, he's going to be

451
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: compromised in that way as well. Now, certainly there's not

452
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: too many guys on the tour that have his experience

453
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: that you know, he doesn't need to go out to

454
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: hit an extra ten balls. But nevertheless, you know he's

455
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: not gonna he's not gonna feel when he goes on

456
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: the first tee and hits that show he's not gonna

457
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: feel like he's a thousand percent ready like they normally

458
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: do right well. And not only that, he no longer

459
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: has the ability to come up with golf course hacks

460
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: to get around a bad shot, Like there are times

461
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: and there have been holes in his career where he

462
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: will purposely go a long way around some kind of

463
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: hazard because he can drive it further in you know

464
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I'm gonna pull this off to

465
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: the right on purpose because I can. I can hit

466
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: the dog leg from there, because I have the power

467
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: in my swing with my iron shot to still get

468
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: it to the green right. So I'm gonna I'm gonna

469
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: just bail and go out to the right. Here. He doesn't,

470
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: he can't hack the course, and he'll well, he was

471
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: face it. It's a course that he built. They had

472
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: to tiger proof the course twenty years ago. They lengthened

473
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: it and completely refer redid it in fact that when

474
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: you come down number eleven, there's in the middle of

475
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: the fairway there's greens, and there's there's no greens. There's

476
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: big traps right in the middle of the fairway. That's

477
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: where the green used to be. Now it's fifty five

478
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: yards further down the course. They moved it because a Tiger, right,

479
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: So he's the one that did it to himself. He's

480
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: but he does do that. He can do this too. Now.

481
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: When he was young, he used to overpower everything. They

482
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: had to. They changed Augusta because of him. Right. The

483
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: game was changing so fast, and Tiger was at the

484
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: four in front of it. He comes in, he goes.

485
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: If they don't change it, he's gonna win every year.

486
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: Nobody else can do it. Other courses the same thing now.

487
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: Instead of playing a course that's sixty nine hundred yards

488
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: long like the pros did at one point, now they're

489
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: playing at seventy four seventy five seventy six hundred yards.

490
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: It's just they got a length in it. But unlike

491
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: other guys, Tiger could also play an executive course better

492
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: than anybody too. He can like play target golf. He

493
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: can throw it there and then throw it there and

494
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: put it in. You know, he has the ability to

495
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: play finesse golf instead of power golf as well. That's

496
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, you don't get to be Tiger Woods unless

497
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: you can do all that, so that may be what

498
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: he does this week as well, is play more. I

499
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: gotta think what can I hit here? I would normally

500
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: hit this shot, but you know what, I'm gonna hit

501
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: this shot instead and do this up right and he'll

502
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: be able to He'll be able to run it up

503
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: there instead of fly it up there and play the

504
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: course that way. Be interesting to watch through the course

505
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: of the week, and a lot of people Wilbury now

506
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: that he is participating, We'll see if he gets past

507
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the cut and gets to the weekend. Bills news, Ryan

508
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: Bates and Taiwan Jones officially signed their contracts. The news

509
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: on their agreeing to terms broke late last week, but

510
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: they officially put pen to paper, so they are signed, sealed,

511
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: and delivered. Ryan Bates a four year contract as the

512
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: Bills match the offer sheet that Bates signed with the

513
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: Bears having the right of first refusal after tending him

514
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: a qualifying offer as a restricted free agent in Taiwan

515
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: Jones back on a one year deal. Do you I

516
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: wonder if does it? Does it move the needle more

517
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: for Ryan Bates that the Bills matched the offer or

518
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: that Chicago made him an offer and didn't get him.

519
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, does it Because I'll say this when you're

520
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: reading that, we were kind kind of like, well, you know,

521
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: it took two guys to get hurt for him to

522
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: get on the field. I mean, we're not gonna miss

523
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: him that much. But then again, the Bills match the offer. Well,

524
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: I think you know what I mean. I think it's

525
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: important for this reason. Is Ryan Bates a world beater

526
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: pro bowler at guard? I don't know, maybe he could be,

527
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: he's not now, but his value to this offensive line

528
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: is twofold now because with John Feliciano now with the

529
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: New York Giants, Ryan Bates isn't only in competition to

530
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: be a starting guard, he is already your backup center

531
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: walking onto the field in the spring this year because

532
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: Feliciano is not here to serve in the backup center

533
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: capacity behind Mitch Morse. And so I would say Ryan

534
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: Bates is your odds on favorite to be your backup

535
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: center this year, along with the potential of being a

536
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: starting guard. That has value. And now you have him

537
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: signed to a long term contract four years at relatively

538
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: affordable money. That's a coup for the Bills. The Bears

539
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: may have done the Bills a favor by signing him

540
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: to a relatively affordable deal, So they didn't they didn't

541
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: break the bank. The Bears didn't buy any stretch of

542
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: the imagination they and certainly the Bills saw that and

543
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: were like, we could do that at particularly the four

544
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: year deal because even at the end of it, he's

545
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: making four and a half and that's for a guy

546
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: who can play. Yeah, give me that, give him that

547
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: all day. That's like a rookie contract. So yeah, it's

548
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: a huge win for the Bills. Leave it to Chicago

549
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: to you know, go on the cheap and you know,

550
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: give the Bills the opportunity to match it. I mean,

551
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: certainly the Bills, we're gonna let you know, we're gonna

552
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: let him go out there. But they didn't want to

553
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: let him go for nothing without having a shot at it.

554
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: So they so they you know, they made it work.

555
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: They made it work. They get they match the offer,

556
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: and here he is. So that's pretty much all the

557
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: news that's fit to print on the Bills in terms

558
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: of what they have done. But in the wake of

559
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles Saints trade, the Twitter conversation we're having with

560
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: you today, which Bills draft related trade would you approve of?

561
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: We're giving you two choices. A trade a veteran player

562
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: to move up in the draft, or b trade early

563
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: picks for a veteran player. Let us know which one

564
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: you would prefer and why, and right now it's to

565
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: move up in the draft, move on from a veteran player.

566
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: It's getting about two thirds of the vote right now.

567
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. At eight three five

568
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty to

569
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: get on board there or hit us up on the

570
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills Live. Got some callers waiting

571
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: for us. Robert and Buffalo Scott in Jamestown. You guys

572
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: will be first after the break. Here on one Bills Live,

573
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio, Steve. Did

574
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: you know on this date in nineteen sixty five the

575
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: color of the officials penalty flags were changed from white

576
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: to bright gold. The color used today. Unbelievable. This day

577
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: just got more boring. Uh, there's one thing I don't

578
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: care about. It's to color the officials flags. I will

579
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: say that white, I think, would I hate officially be

580
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: harder to spot? Actually, some of them are pretty nice guys,

581
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: but especially since people you know a lot of players

582
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: that have towels in their pants, which is also white.

583
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's probably why they changed it. Do you

584
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: know what the most officials use as the weight in

585
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: their flags? You know they make a little ball. Yeah,

586
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: do you know what they use? I'll tell you what

587
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: most of them. Let me see if I can come

588
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: up with a guess here. I don't uh, what's about

589
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: that size that would make sense? It's obviously not a rock. Um,

590
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: although remember when or remember when Zeus Brown got hit

591
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: in the eye, Remember that flag that was really bad? Yeah,

592
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: Kirk triplet right in his eyeball, Jeff triplet yep, Um,

593
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea it is unpopped popcorn. Oh really Yeah?

594
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Most of them used corn colonels. Yeah they Yeah, like

595
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little beaten, a little tight little bean bag,

596
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: how about that? Yeah, so you'll learn, you'll learn something

597
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: every day. Irrelevant pop Did you ask somebody that or

598
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: were you told that? I was told that, Okay by

599
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: one of them. I was just wondering if it was

600
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: your own curiosity. No, I was telling one of them.

601
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: I was told by one of them. Yeah, then I

602
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: you know what. I told him, shut up, nobody cares.

603
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: What should I tell you this? I felt it felt me.

604
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: It felt good to say that nobody cares. Don't shut up,

605
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 1: do your job. You're not important enough. I didn't say that.

606
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: I might have you thought it? Yes, without question? All right,

607
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: which Bill's draft related trade? Would you approve? Trade a

608
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: veteran player to move up in the draft? Trade early

609
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: picks for a veteran player. We go to the phones

610
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: at eight oh three, five fifty one, eight eight five

611
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty, and we lead off with Robert

612
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. You got first, Robert. Yes, I'd like to

613
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: make a statement. Sure, trade we trade it up to

614
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: get and I'd like to build fans alone. I have

615
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: no thirty one teens. Would uh love to have him

616
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: on there? Yeah, you're right? And White? Uh. He reminded

617
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: me of Jill of Ramsey. And he would have called

618
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: out one of the receiver or a tight end for

619
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Uh. And he'd have stopped just like Jill

620
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 1: Ramsey did the chase. Okay, I'm about hang up. I'm

621
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: guessing you're talking about tradevious White. I'm not quite sure

622
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: what the point was there, but you likened him to

623
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: the way Jaylen saying, with Tradevious white back, he'll be

624
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: able to cover Kelsey Jamar Chase like Jalen Ramsey did.

625
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: It was a tight end from Kansas City, he said.

626
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: Kelsey's oh y Kelsey, Okay, Yeah, I was having a

627
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: trouble understanding him there, so yeah, he would have helped.

628
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: There were times in the last couple of years when

629
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: Tradevious was healthy and they played the Chiefs that they

630
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: did put Turdevious on Kelsey. Not all the time, but

631
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: on occasion they'd rotate him over there. Well, they've done

632
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: that before. Remember that's how That's why fans here in

633
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: Buffalo were mad at Gronk for all those years because

634
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: he took the cheap shot at Tray. Because the Trey

635
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: was covering him, albeit getting away with stuff while he

636
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: was covering him. Gronk didn't like it and took the

637
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: cheap shot here in this in this stadium. Uh. You

638
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: know a lot of people remember that. That's so that's

639
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: something that Bill's defense does. They put Tray on one

640
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: of those guys to stay with him. And here's the

641
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: the you know, the reason more teams don't do it.

642
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: I guess someone might, But physically it's a good match.

643
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean athletically, it's a superior matchup for the defense

644
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: to have a corner on a tight end, no matter

645
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: who the tight end is. But size wise, obviously it's

646
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: a mismatch strength wise, weight wise, and leverage wise. It's

647
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: it's on the It goes to the tight end because

648
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: they're bigger and stronger and taller, so they get the

649
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: advantage in those situations. But if you're out in the field,

650
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna send the guy down the field, you got

651
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: a corner on him, the corner's gonna be able to

652
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: run a circle around the guy. Yeah, And that's that's

653
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: the the chess match. If you pick your pick your

654
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: moment when you're gonna do that, when you think the

655
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: guy's gonna go deep or whatever, when you can use

656
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: just one guy to cover him where you're not going

657
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: to get caught in the red zone with a five

658
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: ten guy on a six five guy. So yeah, the

659
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: Bill's defense has done that on occasion in the past

660
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: and will probably continue to do do in the future. And

661
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: they're not the only ones. Kelsey's gonna be thirty two.

662
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: I think actually you might have turned thirty three this year.

663
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: He's in his early thirties for sure. I can't remember

664
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: he's thirty two. I'm just wondering when when the slowdown happens.

665
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, just I mean you. I

666
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you. This doesn't take much. You

667
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: lose half a step and suddenly you're a different player.

668
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: My last contract at thirty five, and that see that

669
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: last season was a struggle. He'll be thirty three come

670
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: week five of the season. It doesn't take much. You

671
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: lose half a step. I've told a skill position at

672
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: these You get these teams get up by three scores

673
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: in a game, like seventeen points or twenty four points

674
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: or what don't you name it, and there's still some

675
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: time left the team that's the one you can pick it.

676
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: Pick it whatever team you want, Jacksonville, whatever, back in

677
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: the day, Cleveland, whatever horrible team you want to pick,

678
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: will score at will on a team that lets up. Yeah,

679
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 1: that's that's the emotional content you got to bring every

680
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: single play, because once one team goes up by a

681
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: certain score where they think they're safe, you'll see their

682
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: whole defense will sit up and take a breath, and

683
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: in no time, the worst team in the league will

684
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: go bing bang boom, touchdown, bing bang boom, another touchdown

685
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: because the other team knows they're not getting back into

686
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: it completely and they just don't want to invest the

687
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: physicality anymore. They're done with it. So that's the only

688
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: reason there's a difference. And you see, you know, you

689
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: get these guys that you know, they're get into the

690
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: mid thirties and they're like, you know, I'm just wait,

691
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: We're good, right, Okay. The drop off is enormous and noticeable. Yeah,

692
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: and it's all from tween their ears at first, before

693
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: it becomes physical. Back to the phones, we go into

694
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: Scott and Jamestown. Next we have her a Scott and

695
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: you're on one bills live. Yeah, I just want to

696
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: about number. I'd like to do the a. You know, okay,

697
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about the draft. You're on a

698
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: trade of veteran player to move up. Yeah. Okay, Hey Chris, Yeah,

699
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: my birthday is this month, Bud. Oh well, congratulations. Guess

700
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: who's birthday it also is this month? Steve Taskers. Yeah,

701
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: happy birthday to you too, Scott. Appreciate you all right,

702
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: have a good one and thanks for calling. Have a

703
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: great birthday. Um. Yeah, So trading a veteran player to

704
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: move up in the draft has been the more popular

705
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: choice today on the poll, by a vote of two

706
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: thirds to one third, at least in the early voting. Um.

707
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: And I think it's I think it's I think it's

708
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: being done with this in mind, Steve, I think Bills

709
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 1: fans have a healthy respect for the salary cap constraints

710
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: that the Bills are already under, and knowing you're gonna

711
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: have players you got to make a decision on next

712
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: year like Ed Oliver, Devin Singletary, Dawson Knox, who are

713
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: all entering the final years of their respective contracts. Ed

714
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: we're assuming is going to have the fifty year option

715
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: picked up on him, so you can push that decision

716
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: down the road in extra year. But Knox and Singletary

717
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: and then there will be others, you know, on one

718
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: year deals or Singletary, who is the one we were

719
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: saying yesterday, Well, Ed will have the fifth year option,

720
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: but you're still gonna have to come up with an

721
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: answer there. Yeah, and Edmonds, Edmonds, Tremaine. So you got

722
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: some big decisions to make and you probably can't keep

723
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: all of them. And so knowing that. I think there

724
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: are some who are of the opinion out there, Hey,

725
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: move a veteran player, give yourself some cap relief and

726
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: get some draft capital, improved draft cap in return, move

727
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: up and get a premier player that can maybe help

728
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: fill that very whole you're vacating. It's I get the logic,

729
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: but it was where this team is now in super

730
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: Bowl or bust mode. I don't know that you want

731
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: to take a veteran player out of the equation right now,

732
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: where you know what he is, it's a proven product

733
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: to draft something a little bit higher in the draft

734
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: which isn't going to come with the same assurances that

735
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: a proven veteran player might. I think that is a

736
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: move you make when you're in the throes of the drought,

737
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: when you know you're not going to win this year anyway. Yeah,

738
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: get a guy so you can maybe try and hit

739
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: a home run within the draft who will come in

740
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: get better. Instead of paying guys who can't get you

741
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, Let's get a guy who may that's

742
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: a drought mentality. What this two thirds one third for me?

743
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: You don't for me. I think the Bills are just

744
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: the opposite of that they're a team that's got guys

745
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: that can play god, guys that are have put them

746
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: in contingent ear in and for two straight years in

747
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: a row, they are in it and in it to

748
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: win it. You don't trade guys who are that good

749
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: enough to get you there. You just don't. And if

750
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna go for it, you trade a pick for

751
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: a guy who you think is even better than the

752
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: one you've got. To me, that's what you do. I

753
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: don't know that they got the money to do that,

754
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: but that's what a team that's going for it does, right.

755
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: I think you got to sit tight, hold your water,

756
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: keep your hand. I am totally not on board with

757
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: getting rid of players who have who are good enough

758
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: to put this team in contention for the super Bowl.

759
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: Every year. You don't throw, you don't weaken your roster. Well,

760
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: especially this year, this year, with where you're going. And

761
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: I get what people are saying, Listen, mootless, move up

762
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: in the draft to get a guy who can really

763
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: help us, Like if we can get a corner, that's great. Well,

764
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: if you do that and you have to give up

765
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Tremaine Edmonds or an Ed Oliver, well

766
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're just now You're you just moved your

767
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: hole to a different place, you know, particularly if you

768
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: trade Tremaine. So I'm I'm not a fan of trading

769
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: any of the players who have had a hand in

770
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: getting your team to the top of the pinnacle where

771
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: you're the super Bowl favorite. People are looking at you

772
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: like going, okay, we want to see it. I don't

773
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: think I'm not in that camp at all today, and

774
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: i know I'm in the minority, but that's where I'm sitting.

775
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

776
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get back to the phones. And we've

777
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: got from Yahoo Sports Eric ed Holme, who has covered

778
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft for a long time. He's got a

779
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: mock out that's very interesting. So we'll check on that

780
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: and catch up with him in the second now or

781
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 1: the show. But more are your phone calls. Next here

782
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by a Lot of Health

783
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back One Bills Live.

784
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. We go back to

785
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: the phones at eight o three oh five fifty and

786
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: joining us now is Greg in north Tonawanda. What do

787
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: you got Forest greg Well, just a quick thing. I

788
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: agree with Steve on the trade thing. I mean, I

789
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: want to win, you know, I want to win this

790
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: coming year, and I'm going to hang on to the

791
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: guys that are doing it. I don't need to trade

792
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: up and get someone that's coming in that may not help.

793
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: And I totally by the way. Whatever these guys do

794
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: in the Bills organization, I'm gonna go with because they

795
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: know what they're doing and I feel very confident in them.

796
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: The reason why I called was something I saw in

797
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs and it's been I want to to call

798
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: right away, but I've been sitting on it for a

799
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: couple of months, but it has and I thought Steve

800
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: might know. It was on a pass play where the

801
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: linebacker tipped the ball and on an out pattern and

802
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: the receiver caught the ball right at the sideline and

803
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: touched both feet down just inside the line and then

804
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: would out a bound for a catch. And the first

805
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: thing I thought is because it was tipped, did he

806
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: need to get two feet down? Because some people have

807
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: said it's after tipps ball, it's kind of like a fumble,

808
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: and I just thought, did he need to get both

809
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: feet down? Or could he have caught the ball with

810
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: one foot and bounce. Now he needs to get both

811
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 1: feet because that's how he establishes control of the ball.

812
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: If if he would have not done that, it would

813
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: have been an incomplete pass. It's just like everything else.

814
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: Whether it was tipped or not, has nothing to do

815
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: with possession. It's a normal pass even if it's tipped

816
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: four times. The difference would be that if the ball

817
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: was tipped, another defender or the same defender could turn

818
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: around in two hand check the receiver out of bounds

819
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: and not allow him to catch it, and it's not

820
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: pass interference. Yeah, that's the only thing that changes. He's

821
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: on a tip pass. Pass interference is out the window.

822
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: So like if you get a thing and you know,

823
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback runs out of the pocket, the ball gets

824
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: tipped up in the air, all bets are off. You

825
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: can jump up and tackle the guy who's trying to

826
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: catch it on the other team and it's not a penalty.

827
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: And most guys aren't. You know, most guys are trying

828
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: to play the ball instead of do that. But certainly

829
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: that's an option if they wanted to do it. And

830
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: if the quarterback and another thing, another aspect of that rule.

831
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: If the quarterback runs out of the pocket, the illegal

832
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: contact rule is goes out the window as well down

833
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: the field. So if the quarterback, if Josh rolls out

834
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: to his right and the dbs are worried about what's

835
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 1: going on, they could, you know, actually knock a receiver

836
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: down once Josh is out of the pocket because the

837
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: contact rules are go away after that. So all that's

838
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: stuff's kind of nuanced, and it happens really fast, and

839
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to see both ends of that. So

840
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: that's why you see us flag thrown and then picked

841
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: up because we'll say, oh, the ball was tipped, or

842
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,439
Speaker 1: they'll say, now the quarterback wasn't in the pocket, right,

843
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, not nothing changes essentially as far as the

844
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: receiver's concerned and what he has to do. As we know,

845
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: the Bills are holders of pick twenty five in round one,

846
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: and there has been a lot of speculation as to

847
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: how the board will fall in front of them. Will

848
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: there be a run on receivers before the Bills get

849
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: on the clock, will there be a run on cornerbacks

850
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: before the Bills are on the clock, and how will

851
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: that shift and change Buffalo's preferences in terms of the

852
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,959
Speaker 1: value on their board when they get to twenty five.

853
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: We actually had Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy on

854
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: with us on our latest episode of the Bills by

855
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: the Numbers podcast, and he's of the opinion that interior

856
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: offensive line will be offering very good value at that

857
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: point in the draft, based on his historical analysis of

858
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: the draft in his eighteen years as an NFL scout.

859
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: He said that is typically where the best interior offensive

860
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: linemen begin to come off the board, unless you have

861
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: an extraordinary player that goes higher than that, which happens

862
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: on occasion, but I don't think it will this year.

863
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how the board falls

864
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: in front of Buffalo, And with twenty four picks in

865
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: front of them, it is much harder to predict how

866
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: it will fall, especially now that the Saints have added

867
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: a first round pick of their own in front of

868
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: the Bills, you know, so there's even more uncertainty there

869
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 1: in terms of what could or could not happen. Now.

870
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: The Bills, just like thirty one other teams, Steve as

871
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, do all their research on what the other

872
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: teams have added in free agency. And what holes they

873
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: still may need to fill once they get to the draft,

874
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: and try to predict that way and even run mock

875
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: drafts up in the draft room. All right, you know,

876
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: Southeast Scout, you take New Orleans, You're New Orleans in

877
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 1: the draft here, and they kind of do it that way.

878
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: But it's an inexact science at best. We'll do our

879
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: best to make it a science. When we have Eric Edholm,

880
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: NFL writer for Yahoo Sports, join us next. He put

881
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: together a mock draft. Who did he mock to the

882
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: Bills at twenty five? We will cover that when we

883
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: return here on One Bills Live presented by Colloid to Health,

884
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Adam Steve Tasker, who has been

885
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

886
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you. Steve Steve a blimp,

887
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: we're not even in the had a beer of normalcy.

888
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: All right. There we go our number two on a Tuesday,

889
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. One Bills Live is

00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: the show NFL Draft front and center. And here to

891
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: help us out now is yeah who Sports lead NFL

892
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: draft analyst Eric Anholm, who has just released his latest

893
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: mock draft iteration, and he picked a player for the Bill, Steve,

894
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: that I am very excited about. If he's there, I'll

895
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: be pretty damn happy. Eric. How you doing, Glad you

896
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: can join us. I'm doing great. Thank you fellas, appreciate it.

897
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: So tell me how and why you came to land

898
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: on a cornerback at twenty five for the Bills. I

899
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: think I know half of this answer, but the position

900
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: first and then the person second. Yeah, I mean I

901
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: believe it's Andrew Booth. If I recall it's a few

902
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: days old. These days I have to make sure on

903
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: you know what, who's mocked wear and everything. But yeah,

904
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: Andrew Booth is a player that you know when you

905
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: when you watch him, you know, let's start with him.

906
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: You could see it. You see signs of refinement from

907
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: from where he was previously in his career. He's not

908
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: quite there yet, but I think all the traits are

909
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: there to be a very good I would say number

910
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: two corner um, you know, high end number two, possibly

911
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: low end number one at some point. Um. You know,

912
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: you saw the growth throughout college and you know him

913
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: kind of getting better at the catch point, making some

914
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: acrobatic plays. It's just got natural ability that I don't

915
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: think you can teach. And you know, the size is

916
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 1: decent and the athletic traits are very decent as well,

917
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: and you know, it just sort of fits I think

918
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: what they're looking for. And yeah, I mean, is there

919
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: is there a positional need there? Would it would seem

920
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: like they could add to that room, you know, especially

921
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: with Trudeavias coming off the injury, you know, losing a

922
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: free agent at the position as well. Just you know,

923
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: so from that perspective it made sense. Could I see

924
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: them go in another direction? Yes, that was kind of

925
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: how the board fell, um, But I think that would

926
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: be a very good value at that point, no doubt.

927
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: What is the most I know this all the way

928
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: down at twenty five in the first round, A lot

929
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: of things have to go exactly right. And you know,

930
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: the only way to do these mock drafts most of

931
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: the time is as is, you can't really formulate trades

932
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: for teams that we don't even know that are talking.

933
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: So what is the most unlikely reason, What is the

934
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: most likely reason that Booth doesn't like? Which team? And

935
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: what number grabs Booth before Buffalo gets there? And why

936
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: or why why will they not do that if he

937
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: does fall to Buffalo. Yeah, great question, because position will

938
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: need I mean, you would probably start, you know, for

939
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: the most important position with quarterback, and you probably wouldn't

940
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: have to take too many steps before you got to corner.

941
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: It's it's a premium position, even in a draft like

942
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: this where there are some some pretty respectable talents. I

943
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: think it's it's relatively deep at that position, not overwhelmingly so,

944
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: but good, you know, and enough high end talent to

945
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: kind of wet your appetite a little bit that easily

946
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: could could see one and go off the board. You know,

947
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: we saw that trade yesterday with the Saints and Eagles.

948
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: I think both teams picking in that fifteen to nineteen range.

949
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: There they own four at the five selections in that range.

950
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: Certainly or possibilities. I don't think the charters in seventeen are,

951
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: but you know, Cardinals at twenty three certainly, you know

952
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: Dallas is still looking to add you know, right before

953
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: you guys add defensive talent. I would imagine, so there

954
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: there are a lot of landmines that could prevent that

955
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: from happening. Baltimore might be another team that looks for

956
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: a corner given you know their injuries and shortcomings of

957
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: the position, so you know it's it's really going to

958
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: depend on on which teams, Like what type of prospect.

959
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: There's a guy at Washington, Trent McDuffie with really short

960
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: arms but great tape. How does each team value that.

961
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: Are they worried about the lack of length. Are they

962
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: more apt to go with a more physical specimen, like

963
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 1: like Booth, who's more of a traditional size corner. And

964
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: while I was kind of fully of the belief that

965
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: if there's a run on corners and there's a run

966
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: on receivers before the Bills get on the clock at

967
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: twenty five and they just flat out don't like the

968
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: value at those two positions when they are on the clock,

969
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, well, you know, they'd probably

970
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: be able to have their pick of the litter at

971
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: interior old line. But then we go to your mock

972
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: and you got and you remind me of the fact

973
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: that the Patriots need old line help. You got Zion

974
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: Johnson going to them at twenty one, and then right

975
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: after the Bills at twenty six, you got Kenyan Green,

976
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: who I like a lot. That guy has got a

977
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: whole bunch of nasty and him you got him going

978
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: right there at twenty six? How early I mean? Is

979
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: twenty one like the jumping off point for you for

980
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: interior old line where you think things could start happening

981
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: with the Patriots there? Yeah, I do have to be

982
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: careful what I say. I had several New England throats

983
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: down down my throat, New England fans, I should say,

984
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 1: down my throat after that pick. They didn't. They weren't

985
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: fans of it, let's put it that way. But and

986
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, we talked about positional value

987
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: you earlier. I don't think offensive you know, interior offensive

988
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: line would be you know, much higher than tight end

989
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: or safety. It's it's one of those spots where you

990
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: can get by with a lesser talent, perhaps if you

991
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: have good tackles and whatnot. So you know, it's more

992
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: of the type of pick that a team very close

993
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: to contending with make is do England, They're hard to say. Yeah,

994
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean Kenyan Green, I think as a phenomenal football player,

995
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: and you know he's played he played all four or

996
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: everything but center last year last season. I mean to

997
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: do four positions in a year, and oh, By the way,

998
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: it's Alabama week and you've got to flip out to

999
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: left tackle. You know, there's confidence there, right, And he's

1000
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: a he's a plus run blocker. I think he's getting

1001
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: better in pass protection. Just that versatility is rare, and

1002
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a really good starter at guard

1003
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So you know, he'd obviously be another

1004
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: option that I could see, you know, playing out, But

1005
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, to me, the corner just sang a little

1006
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: bit more in that spot. If Booth is gone, you know,

1007
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: I would think Kenyan Green has to be at least

1008
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: on the map. As always, the one rinch in the

1009
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: entire process is the fact that everybody needs a quarterback

1010
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: or and there's gonna be a ton of teams in

1011
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: the top ten looking for a quarterback. And on the

1012
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: surface of this draft, I don't know that there's a

1013
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: quarterback that needs to be taken there, but probably will.

1014
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: How does that change everything? And how many do you

1015
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: think are gonna go? How high do you think they're

1016
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna go? Yeah, I think the team's picking in the

1017
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: neighborhood the Bills are and would love nothing more than two, three,

1018
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: even four quarterbacks to somehow go off the board in

1019
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,720
Speaker 1: the first twenty five picks. Do I see it happening

1020
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: that way? I really don't. I think at the end

1021
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: of the day, I would set the number at about

1022
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: two point five. I think it's either going to be

1023
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: two or three who land in the first round probably

1024
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: just you know, big picture, Malik Willis somewhere in the

1025
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: back end of the top ten early part of the

1026
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: you know the teams, if you will, Kenny Pickett at

1027
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: some point thereafter Saints just made that trade. Are they

1028
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: interested in him? Are the Steelers of possibility? And then

1029
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: maybe one more so that it's team maybe perhaps trades

1030
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: into that number thirty two or thirty one spot. The

1031
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: Lions are there, they could certainly entertain a quarterback for

1032
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: the long term to get that fifth year option. I

1033
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 1: think that's, you know, obviously a move that a lot

1034
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: of teams have made in recent years to secure that.

1035
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's not like last year. And even

1036
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: though a lot of those guys struggled as rookies, I

1037
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,959
Speaker 1: still hold that group in higher regard than what we've

1038
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: seen so far. Willis is a project, a very tantalizing one.

1039
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: Pickett is a one year wonder technically, even though he's

1040
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: played a lot of college football and the rest of

1041
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot have some flaws that I don't think that

1042
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: make them perfect fits for a ton of teams. We've

1043
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: heard a lot about the pass rushing talent in this draft,

1044
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: because a lot of it is Round one worthy. But

1045
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: in terms of true positional depth in this draft class,

1046
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: does that pass rusher talent match the depth? Does the

1047
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: depth run through the way maybe some other positions are

1048
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: being regarded, or are there other positions that might be

1049
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: superior in terms of pure depth, Like you're sitting there

1050
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: early Day three and you can still get a pretty

1051
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: darn good player. What are the positions for that kind

1052
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: of stuff? I think edge is the one that probably

1053
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: has the best chance to produce Day three type starters

1054
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: and unexpected stars and you know, players who kind of

1055
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: come out of the woodwork, maybe even undrafted guys who

1056
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: end up being serviceable pros. So that's the one that

1057
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: you know that that probably has the most potential to

1058
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: produce that. You know, I could see offensive tackle, maybe corner.

1059
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: You know a few other positions. Linebackers, sneaky deep in

1060
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: some ways, tight ends actually kind of deep. Even if

1061
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of high end talent. But to me,

1062
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: edge is the one position that I think has both

1063
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: the blue ships stuff or close to blue ship talent,

1064
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: maybe not quite there. And then also, you know, plenty

1065
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: of options in Day two and still some quality football

1066
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: players in Day three, even with David Ojaba from Michigan

1067
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: A you know, a possible top twenty pick at one point,

1068
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, even with his injury at his pro day.

1069
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: You know, that adds another kind of layer of intrigue

1070
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: in a sense, because now you wonder where will somebody

1071
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: take this exciting talent who may be available in Day

1072
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: two that's going to push somebody else down. And I

1073
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: just look down the list and think, you know, you

1074
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: could get somebody like an Alex Right from U A

1075
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: B or a Drake Jackson from USC deepen around three

1076
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: and feel really good about yourself. So that's a position

1077
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: that has unusual depth, I would say this year, and

1078
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier about the important or the money prestigious

1079
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: positions wide receiver, corner, quarterback of course, edge rusher, and

1080
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: left tackle, right tackle position on the offensive line. So

1081
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: more and more every year we talk about the wide

1082
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: receiver class in every draft, how deep it is, and

1083
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: how deep it's main it's kept being year after year

1084
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: and this and then this draft is no different. How

1085
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: do you see the long term? A couple of questions,

1086
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: I guess one, are there going to be so many

1087
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: quality wide receivers that have become interchangeable even though you

1088
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: see some guys making twenty seven million dollars a year

1089
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: like Davante Adams and the like? Are there going to

1090
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: is the difference inability and production going to be enough

1091
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: that some teams are just gonna say, listen, we're not

1092
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: going to pay a guy like that, because we can

1093
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: get a guy who is ninety or ninety five percent

1094
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: of that production right for a tenth of the money

1095
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: for five percent of the money. So it becomes a

1096
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: math problem and a projection problem as much as it

1097
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: does a positional math problem. So you know, and this

1098
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: is another draft with a ton of guys in it,

1099
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: how do you see that position transferring? I mean, you know,

1100
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: transitioning from being so many good guys that can play

1101
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: and then still having a handful that or elite that

1102
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: you got to pay a big money to get. I'm

1103
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: glad you've mentioned the financial aspect of it, because if

1104
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: there's been a clear trend. I think this soft season

1105
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: it's with you know, the trade of Devance Adams, the

1106
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: trade of Tyreek Hill. You know that the rumors of

1107
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: other wide receivers whose deals are are coming up shortly

1108
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: or in the next couple of years possibly being on

1109
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: the market. That to me speaks to the you know,

1110
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: the enormous contracts that these guys are getting, and the

1111
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: thought that you know, wouldn't it be better to have

1112
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: a first round wide receiver on that type of salary,

1113
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Like you said, even if you're taking a step down

1114
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: to town, which you don't want to do in a

1115
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: perfect world, but if it can come at mass savings. Okay,

1116
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: there we go. And to the first point you made too,

1117
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's unusual, I think, to have a position

1118
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: the same position have strength in three consecutive drafts, and

1119
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where we're at. I wouldn't put this

1120
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: group up against what we saw last year. I don't

1121
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: believe there's a jail And Waddle or a Jamar Chase

1122
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: in this class. There's some pretty good players, no doubt

1123
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: about it. I don't think it quite matches up to

1124
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,439
Speaker 1: the talent of the twenty twenty draft, either Justin Jefferson, etc.

1125
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I think the high end gets

1126
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: watered down just a little bit, but the depth is

1127
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: still there. And so you know, we may see six

1128
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: first round wide receivers, partially because of that financial impact

1129
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: that we talked about a minute ago, but also because

1130
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: the talent is commensurate. You're not going to use a

1131
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: first round pick on a third round or just to

1132
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: show them how sab you are with a calculator, right,

1133
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta get some players. So I do

1134
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: think in this case, though, that the talent is going

1135
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: to match where these these receivers end up being taken

1136
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: in your pick of Booth to the Bills at twenty five.

1137
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: In your latest mock at sports dot Yahoo dot com,

1138
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: you also mentioned how some smart and well connected people

1139
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: that you trust have floated Bruce Hall's name out there.

1140
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I know you also talk to people that are in

1141
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: actual NFL personnel circles. Are there any other names that

1142
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 1: you've heard, maybe more than once for the Bills down there,

1143
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: maybe besides Bruce Hall or Andrew Booth. Yeah, that's a

1144
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: good question. I don't know that I've heard a ton

1145
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: of names in that range connected to Buffalo. You know,

1146
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: obviously they've loaded up on the defensive line. You know,

1147
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: I think you know, sorting out the offensive line is

1148
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, an ongoing process. Possibly one of those positions

1149
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: as well. You never have too many edge rushers. I

1150
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: think that's that's a truism no matter where you're picking

1151
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: on the board, and you know, there almost is no

1152
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: such thing as a luxury there, So you know, those

1153
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: positions are interesting. Maybe linebackers the possibility if the right

1154
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,959
Speaker 1: player falls, you know, the right scheme fit too, because

1155
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different size linebackers in this in

1156
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: this year's class, where you know some of them you say, oh,

1157
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: that's a you know, that's an even front, or you

1158
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: know whatever, a Tampa two will linebacker right there, or

1159
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,479
Speaker 1: this guy would be a great inside in an odd

1160
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: front or that sort of thing. I suppose those are

1161
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: all possibilities, but I can't say that I've heard specific names,

1162
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, other than Hall you mentioned connected there and

1163
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Hall is a fascinating debate because you know, where do

1164
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: you put running back on the positional importance hierarchy and

1165
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: that's said. I mean, look, he reminds me a lot

1166
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: of Jonathan Taylor, and Taylor went what thirty fourth a

1167
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. You know, he's done great for him,

1168
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: so it certainly holds up to that test, and you know,

1169
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: we'll see if it's true for Hall too. And just

1170
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: to follow up on Haul, he's really the only back

1171
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: that has a chance to get into the bottom of

1172
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: the first round here this year, right, I mean, I mean,

1173
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: maybe you make a case for Kenny Walker, but I

1174
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I mean, Walker

1175
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: actually ran a faster forty, which will surprised me. But

1176
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: neither one of them are plus contributors in the passing game.

1177
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: I would say I trust Breece Hall in the passing

1178
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: game a little bit more, even if it's protection issues

1179
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: are you know, need to be worked out a little bit.

1180
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: But you know, that's really the type of back you

1181
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: would normally see in that either someone truly rare, you know,

1182
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: a specimen wise as a runner or more of that

1183
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: you know three down ability that in a complete package,

1184
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: if you will. Haul's not quite there, but his other

1185
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: abilities are so good and I don't think he has

1186
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: any kind of you know, massive weakness or fatal flaw.

1187
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: How do you think that the fact that there's still

1188
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: more than a handful of teams with multiple first round picks.

1189
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Now there's the Philly went from having three to having one,

1190
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: and Saints went from having one to having two. You

1191
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: got the Jets, you got the Giants, you got all

1192
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: these teams with multiple picks, you got a bunch of

1193
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: them with them don't have any How do you think

1194
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: that changes the dynamic particularly? I mean, look at the

1195
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: fifteenth pick through the twenty, it's Philly, New Orleans, the Chargers, Philly,

1196
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans in five consecutive picks. It's the strangest thing. Ever,

1197
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: how do you think that affects the big picture at all?

1198
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: The way it's going to affect me is that I'm

1199
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: prepared to light all of my mock drafts on fire

1200
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: on Friday morning, because you know, with all these steves

1201
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: having multiple picks, you know, you make the wrong selection

1202
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: on the first choice, it's gonna look pretty bad when

1203
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: it comes around to your second prediction. And the trade

1204
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: poss abilities I think open up too. You could have

1205
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans possibly packaging to move up for a quarterback.

1206
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: You could have you know, other teams kind of lying

1207
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: in the weeds. You have the two New York franchises

1208
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: in that four to seven cluster to the New York

1209
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: City franchise is not forgetting you guys in the state

1210
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: of New York there, of course, but yeah, I mean it.

1211
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I think there really are some some fascinating elements. We've

1212
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: never seen this out of balance a first round, I

1213
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: don't think in quite some time where so many teams

1214
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: had multiple firsts and so few teams are therefore on

1215
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. So it's going to be heavily

1216
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: dominated by about half the league on Thursday night before

1217
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: we get into Friday. But I just think predicting Mack

1218
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: wise this year is going to be brutal because of

1219
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: the trade activity, the uncertainty of where players are gonna fall,

1220
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: especially at quarterback too, and the fact that so many

1221
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: picks are owned by so few clubs. Last one I've

1222
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: got for you, Eric, you mentioned earlier how linebacker is

1223
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: got some sneaky depth to it. Little bit I'm wondering,

1224
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: like latter stages of Day two, you know you're you're

1225
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: sitting there near the bottom around three for the Bills,

1226
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: Jermaine Edmonds is in a walk. Ear They've got people

1227
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: that they've got to take care of contract wise next offseason.

1228
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Can they pay Edmonds too? I don't know. So I'm

1229
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: wondering if they're thinking about putting somebody in the pipeline

1230
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: there as an eventual replacement, maybe a year from now.

1231
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, I'll throw some names

1232
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: at you. Tell me if you think these guys fall

1233
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: in the late day two range. People like Channing Tendall

1234
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: from Georgia, the small school kid Troy Anderson from Montana State.

1235
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: Is he still hanging around? Damon Clark LSU who do

1236
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: we like maybe late day two that could be a

1237
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: potential option for Buffalo. Yeah. I think all three of

1238
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: those are pretty realistic. I mean, Damon Clark, especially after

1239
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: his latest injury, it's it's sure to knock him down.

1240
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: He's essentially going to have, you know, what looks like

1241
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: a red shirt ear is as a rookie sell. The

1242
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: question is how much do you like him? He was

1243
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: getting some top forty, top fifty type buzz at one point,

1244
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: solid Senior Bowl. You know, the athletic traits are obvious

1245
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: with him. You know, he's got that big frame. You know,

1246
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: in some respects a similar physical specimen to Edmunds, so

1247
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: he's wanted to watch just from a stash and developed

1248
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: type of standpoint. H Tindall's really interesting in that he

1249
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: never started again. There. Georgia was sort of the fourth

1250
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: man on the pecking order, if you will, in a

1251
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: really crowded linebacker room, but worked his way into a

1252
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: role this year and played very well, I thought. And

1253
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's a reason why he's not being talked

1254
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: about in the Nakobe Dean quay Walker range. I don't

1255
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,439
Speaker 1: think he's quite as blessed as either one with either

1256
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: athleticism or football instincts. But you know, he's got just

1257
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: enough of both, I think to be a viable football player.

1258
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: And I think I forgot the Oh Troy Anderson, right, Yeah,

1259
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: fascinating kid. He gets all All Conference at quarterback as

1260
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: a freshman that moves to linebacker and because it at

1261
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: that position too. Yeah, this is the Steve Tasker of

1262
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the Big Sky, right, So the most versatile man out

1263
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: there and uh, really really quick trigger athletic. I mean,

1264
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: he's looks like he's shot out of a cannon. Some

1265
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: teams were touring around the idea of even trying him

1266
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: as a tight end and moving him on offense. But

1267
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: if his positional instincts develop, I mean, he really could

1268
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: be something special. He's a great kid. He interviewed. Well,

1269
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: I think he's he's got a lot of fans. I

1270
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll be there and or not. It's

1271
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: he could go high. It sounds like a late riser. Yeah.

1272
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: So yes, as we close it up here, when's the

1273
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: last mock draft you're gonna come out? Is it gonna

1274
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: be the eve of the draft? And when everything is

1275
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: in the haze in the barn? Are you gonna do

1276
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: one then? And then light the ones before that on fire?

1277
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,719
Speaker 1: And then you know, well, I think I need several

1278
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: of them stacked up to get a little volume to

1279
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: my fire, right, So I'll put them all in there

1280
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: and torch him. But yeah, I believe it's either two

1281
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: days before or the day before. I usually try to

1282
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: fend off my editors as much as I can to

1283
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: get any last bit of information. So that's the plan.

1284
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: We've also got the All Juice Team coming up on

1285
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: the night team. Tres paler Our, our late colleague who

1286
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: started that tradition years ago. You know, effort, performance, attitude.

1287
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that make up that team. I'm

1288
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: really excited about that. Second year in a row will

1289
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: be uh living carrying on his memory with one of

1290
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: the features that people look forward to reading of his

1291
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: the most. So it's uh, it's real near and dear

1292
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 1: to all of our hearts at Yahoo. That's cool. I

1293
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: would throw Kenyan green in as a major contender for

1294
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: that for that team because that guy a GM actually

1295
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 1: nominated And when I talked to him, yeah, you watch

1296
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: him on tape, and right, yeah, you watch him on tape, Eric.

1297
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen a lineman get more pumped

1298
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 1: up than that guy does after he pa somebody. He's

1299
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: he's fun to energy. Yes, right, listen, thanks for the time.

1300
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Have fun with the rest of the mocks.

1301
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Good luck and nailing some of those picks. All right,

1302
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Fell it's good coming on. Thanks. All right.

1303
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: That's a lee draft analyst for Yahoo Sports, Eric at Holm,

1304
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: and you can see his work at sports dot Yahoo

1305
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: dot com. They got a whole big draft section there

1306
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: under their sports tab, so make sure you check it out. Yeah,

1307
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Kenyan Greene, I just started watching Interior row Line this

1308
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 1: week and Texas A and M kid played left guard,

1309
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: right guard, left tackle, right tackle all this season, and

1310
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: as you heard Eric say the week of the Alabama game,

1311
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, Kenyon, we're gonna need to play left tackle,

1312
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 1: oh against Alabama? Okay, Okay, can you imagine? Um? But

1313
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, this guy hits people and he

1314
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: likes doing it. I mean he to me, I'm watching

1315
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,839
Speaker 1: him play, and you know, he's not a perfect player,

1316
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: but he's He's got bills DNA as far as I'm concerned,

1317
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not. I don't know how he interviewed.

1318
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gave the right answers, but

1319
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: his on field demeanor as he got bills DNA and

1320
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: he likes punishing people. We've all we've you know, we

1321
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: You and I have spoken during the season and in

1322
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: the off season. And you gotta have some guys who

1323
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: give you the the attitude that they're gonna show up

1324
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: in a big way emotionally. You know, they're gonna be loud,

1325
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be angry, and they're gonna be aggressive, and

1326
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to scuffle with those guys. That is

1327
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: why I believe. Anyway, Jordan Phillips and Shack Lawson are

1328
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,440
Speaker 1: getting a second go round here, right. They were unquestionable

1329
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: juice players for that defense. And I'm telling you right now,

1330
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips didn't care who was in the fight. He'd

1331
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: be ready to fight, right. And that's and you know,

1332
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: with all this stuff I talk about, you know, this

1333
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: emotional content, you can't even take a stop to take

1334
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: a breath or it's going to show up on the field.

1335
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: The Bills need some of that. Feliciano was a guy

1336
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: like that, and he was not on the field a

1337
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: lot last year. You need some guys that have some grit,

1338
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: and usually they come from offensive and defensive lineman, linebackers,

1339
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 1: those kind of guys. It's it's important. It's important because

1340
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 1: some guys just you know, they don't you know, while

1341
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: they're all in and they don't shy away from anything,

1342
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 1: they don't have the extra bit of you know, there's

1343
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: some guys that look for it, and you kind of

1344
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: want those guys on your team. If there's a scuffle,

1345
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 1: they want to be in the middle of it. And

1346
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: when there's john they got something to say, Oh yeah,

1347
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: oh you think that, Okay, well how about this after

1348
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: I beat your butt? Drop you on, then we'll see

1349
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: what you have to say, and then he goes and

1350
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: does it. Smack talking is a contest, just like pushing

1351
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: and shoving and tackling and blocking is. And you want

1352
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: to win everything, and so you got to have some

1353
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: guys that that bring that talent. And I guess it's

1354
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: easier to trash talk when you're six six and three

1355
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: hundred thirty pounds. But you know, far be it for

1356
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: me to tell him what to and to not say. So, Yeah,

1357
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: he's a jewice guy. I mean, Tarn Johnson can be

1358
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: a jewice guy just by the way he plays, you know,

1359
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,560
Speaker 1: in that nickel spot when he's in run support and

1360
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: he's dropping a bag in the hole. That's juice for

1361
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: your team. Thinking back across, you know the history of me,

1362
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: certainly in the league, seeing guys, there's a guy at

1363
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 1: every position you can point to say he was a

1364
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,959
Speaker 1: he was a juice guy. You were a juice guy.

1365
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Musician in that position we had guy I was. I was. Yeah,

1366
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: I was not a juice guy like those guys were. Well,

1367
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: but I was not a talker or a you know,

1368
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: an agitator unturn though. Yeah, I mean, well, everybody everybody's

1369
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: you know, there to make a tackle. But you get

1370
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: a guy who you know, like, you get a guy

1371
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 1: like on the other team, like you know, the old

1372
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin days, like a Brian Cox guy. He's getting

1373
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: thrown out of every other game. Um, you gotta have

1374
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: somebody to give him at least some pushback. You know,

1375
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: we had guys CARBYL. Gardner got thrown out of the

1376
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: game with with you know, with Brian one time. So

1377
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: you gotta have a guy that's willing to say, Okay,

1378
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: you want to go, let's go, and consequences be damned.

1379
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: Here we go and they, you know, they take their

1380
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: helmets off and start swinging. The rest of us are going,

1381
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, what do you do? You know, but

1382
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: let's not crack any skulls. But it's but even in

1383
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: the midst of all that, it's a competition between you

1384
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: and them. And if you give an inch, you've given

1385
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: him a mile. You've got to get it back somewhere else. So, um,

1386
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: the game is so emotionally packed, m you gotta have

1387
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 1: guys that can do that. And the guys were the

1388
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: kind of guys were talking about that goes into the

1389
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: mix of the evaluation. It really does and it means something, yeah,

1390
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: because you know you don't have to try quite as

1391
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: hard in week sixteen to get the guy charged up

1392
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 1: for the game, because he's all he's already frothen at

1393
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: the right and you're ready to go, and you're gonna

1394
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: have guys on your roster that when another team comes

1395
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: in and starts to push you around, they're gonna be

1396
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: ready to push back and enjoy it and be there

1397
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 1: for it instead of just saying, listen, you do all that,

1398
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go over here and play this position.

1399
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, you kind of lose the emotional edge that

1400
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,640
Speaker 1: you have if you don't meet him somewhere. It's it's important.

1401
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here. When we come back,

1402
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: we'll get some of your thoughts on the tweet sheet

1403
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: about which kind of a draft day trade you'd prefer

1404
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: if the Bills were execute one. So we'll get to

1405
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: those when we return here. On One Bills Live presented

1406
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome

1407
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown steep tasker with you,

1408
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: and I just gave the thumbs up to our good

1409
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,919
Speaker 1: friend Ross Tucker, who, as we know as his own podcast,

1410
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: he's a former Bills lineman back in the early two thousand,

1411
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the friend of the show. And he's apparently on a

1412
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: flight somewhere and before takeoff, which you know, it's it's

1413
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: still kind of early in the week and it's still

1414
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:47,839
Speaker 1: relatively early in the day, and he says, he tweets,

1415
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: don't feel like drinking at all right now. But I

1416
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: made a promise to myself when I was in tenth

1417
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: grade that if I ever got bumped up to first class,

1418
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: that I would drink the entire flight. This one's for you,

1419
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: fifteen year old ROSSI he may promise to yourself. You

1420
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Let's just hope it's not a cross

1421
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: country flight, because he won't be walking off the plane

1422
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: at that point. They'll have to bring up the wheelchair

1423
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: for always a mistake. Yeah, I don't. Oh, dear lord,

1424
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: he is flying to LA. That's not gonna end well

1425
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: from where from he's from the New Jersey area, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,

1426
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: South Jersey. Bro that's a five hour flight. Oh, he's

1427
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: not well. I mean, he's a big guy, but he's

1428
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: still Yeah, you got to really pace yourself. I've never

1429
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: been a big fan of drinking on airplanes. What about you?

1430
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: You do that much? No, I really don't know, you know,

1431
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,639
Speaker 1: and that's not saying that I did. But you've heard

1432
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: people have bad experiences and you know stories. I'm like,

1433
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't want to be that guy,

1434
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you want to have a drink,

1435
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: that's fine, but like, yeah, people that get absolutely blotto

1436
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: on the plane, And you know what I think when

1437
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: that happens. I'm thinking, if something happened with this plane,

1438
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: you are ill prepared to get out of said plane

1439
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: in that kind of a state, Like what have you

1440
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 1: got to go swimming? Yeah? I mean I want to

1441
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: think of the worst happen with that plane. You want

1442
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: to be No, exactly, that's exactly. Oh you want to

1443
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: be blocked because you ain't getting out of it. You're

1444
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: not thinking survival. You're thinking make it painless as possible.

1445
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: That's the difference between you. I don't know if you

1446
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: and I can be a prince. Between you at fifty

1447
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: and me at sixty, I don't know if that's the

1448
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: different next ten years further ends of the spectrum, usually years.

1449
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: Usually we think it's relatively the same be at two

1450
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: different ends of the spectrum. The next ten years are

1451
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna put you right where on I went from survival

1452
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: to you know what, Just make it quick and painless,

1453
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: that's what the next ten years. How can we make

1454
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: this quick and painless? Oh my gosh, yeah yeah, yeah,

1455
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm not there, man, Um, okay, I get it. That's fair.

1456
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: But no, that's no. You always got to know you shouldn't,

1457
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: not in public, not in you don't do that. That's everything,

1458
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: all things in operation, just all things in the operation.

1459
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 1: You can't. There are some people that I know, and

1460
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 1: sometimes there's a confluence of events. All of a sudden,

1461
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: you're sitting with a buddy unexpectedly you know, ends up

1462
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: on the same flight, or you're going with your buddy

1463
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: and you never get didn't give it a second thought,

1464
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah let's do it, and it turns into you know,

1465
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 1: big problems once you land or whatever. And you know that,

1466
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:35,799
Speaker 1: I get it when it happens by mistake. You should

1467
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: never plan on being that guy. That's for sure, right,

1468
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean it's always because, believe me, being that guy's

1469
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: always a mistake. Yeah, for a number of reasons. Number one,

1470
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: if you're with your buddies. You never want to be

1471
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 1: the guy that needs to get helped out of a place.

1472
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: That's number one. Okay, you don't want to be that guy.

1473
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the bag of wet man.

1474
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to be a guy. You don't want

1475
01:18:57,920 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 1: to be the buddy who has to drag your buddy

1476
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 1: who's the wet cement out right, don't get through that.

1477
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: But there is also when you're the when you're the

1478
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: bag of wet cement, you also run the risk of retribution.

1479
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because the guys that took care of you

1480
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: will not let that go unaddressed. Sometimes, yeah, you don't

1481
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: have to pay the you have to pay the tax

1482
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 1: on that. Sometimes you'll have magic marker glasses on your face,

1483
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: a mustache you didn't know you had. You know, Sharpie's

1484
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: coming handy In those situations, I'm just saying they're hard

1485
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: to get off too. Uh yeah, Yes, you're gonna have

1486
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: to pay the friendship tax. At some point. That bill

1487
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: will come to in the worst possible way. All right,

1488
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: So kudos to Ross. Just pace yourself, man, you got

1489
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: a five hour flight ahead of you. We wanted to

1490
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet which is brought to you

1491
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

1492
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Which Bills draft related trade? Would you

1493
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: be more in favor of we had the one in

1494
01:19:56,320 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: which they'd be drafting or trade a veteran player to

1495
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: move up in the draft, or trading away draft capital

1496
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 1: for a veteran player that you might think would put

1497
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 1: the Bills over the top. David leads us off and

1498
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: he says, neither don't have to trade at all, but

1499
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: I do trust in being in McDermott. Whatever they see

1500
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 1: is most necessary to improve not just this year, but

1501
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: next year also. So it's one of those moves. I'll

1502
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: freak out then deal with it. Yeah, I mean not

1503
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: get it. And that's it's a nice spot for Bills fan.

1504
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: We hear that a lot, right. I mean, I'll be

1505
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: ready to deal with whatever being in because we all

1506
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,719
Speaker 1: have this in a knowledge that there are things about

1507
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 1: the team and about the roster and about players themselves individually.

1508
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: We just don't know that they do, and so we

1509
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: trust their knowledge to make the right decision. Plus the

1510
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: fact that they're where they are now as compared to

1511
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: where the team was when they took over, gives us

1512
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: a lot of confidences they're going to do the right

1513
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: thing time and time again. So yeah, I'm kind of

1514
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 1: with you. I think it's interesting to think about and

1515
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: fun to talk about because only through their actions do

1516
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: you really get an insight as to what they really believe.

1517
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that you know they never lie. You

1518
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: know they don't lie to year or whatever, and you know,

1519
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: unless it's a competitive advantage to all that stuff, but

1520
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 1: you know they're pretty forthright and pretty available, you still

1521
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what they think about individual players. Jeremy

1522
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, I'd rather take a proven

1523
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: player versus rolling the dice on a rookie. So I

1524
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: choose be sure, the rookie is cheaper and would stay longer,

1525
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 1: but if they can improve the team now, then it's

1526
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: worth the gamble. Yeah. Well, put you in that same scenario,

1527
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: you start to do the what ifs and what fours

1528
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: If you if, for instance, the Bills signed a guy

1529
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: like Ryan Bates, and the Bills like him, he's cheap labor,

1530
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: it's not cost him any things on a four year deal.

1531
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: What about what happens when they trade Ryan Bates on

1532
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: draft day for a player that they can draft, it

1533
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: will make it different, like a corner, you know, a

1534
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: second round where they can take a guy like you know,

1535
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: or even for whatever some draft pick that we didn't

1536
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 1: think Ryan Bates would ever be worth, you know what

1537
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, a third or fourth even, and because Bates

1538
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: was a you know, was undrafted. So you get a

1539
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 1: guy like Bates who's an okay, you know, trading somebody

1540
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: like Bates so you don't expect to start for the

1541
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: team right away, or maybe who's didn't compete for a

1542
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: starting job. That's the kind of guy some people are

1543
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 1: talking about. And then of course to the other end

1544
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: of as you trade him for a second round pick.

1545
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna happen. That's you know, I'd

1546
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: be surprised, right if that happens. That would be another

1547
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: big ball or bean move feather in the cap of absolutely.

1548
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: But you know that's what you're you know, if you're gonna,

1549
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make that trade, and you absolutely positively

1550
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: hit a home run, Okay, I'm all about it. Adam

1551
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet is on the same page as

1552
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: David Neither. I think holes can be filled at twenty five,

1553
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: fifty seven, and eighty nine. This once again points to

1554
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: the faith that I think the Bills fan base has

1555
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo's front office. It is a draft that is

1556
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: deep at a few positions, as we heard every get

1557
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: home from Yah who Sports join us last segment explained,

1558
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 1: and I think Bills fans on the whole have the

1559
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 1: utmost confidence in Brandon being in his personnel department that

1560
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: they're going to find good value players that will help

1561
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: them sooner rather than later in the first three rounds

1562
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 1: of the draft, namely at twenty five, fifty seven, and

1563
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: eighty nine, provided they don't move off those spots. It's

1564
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: a nice place to be, right as having that kind

1565
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: of faith because we don't have to worry about the details.

1566
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: That's that's Brandon's job. You do it and we'll cheer

1567
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: for you. Will just think we'll just golf slap it

1568
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 1: all the way. It's easier said than done, that's all

1569
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: I can say. We can sit back and do it,

1570
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: but to do it it's hard. Yeah, you gotta there's

1571
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: a ton that goes into it. So yeah, I'm with you.

1572
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 1: Bills fans of got it right now. They're they're growing

1573
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: a little bit pretty. Yeah, they're sitting pretty with the

1574
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 1: guy they got pulling the strings. Jeffrey on the tweet

1575
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 1: sheet says the Bills are in a roster transition where

1576
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: they really need premium rookie deal, cheap talent that fits

1577
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: Choice A more than Choice B. So he's in favor

1578
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: of moving on from a veteran player to move up

1579
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: in the draft and get a better player, get a

1580
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: good player on a rookie deal. I don't know. I

1581
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: just think that changes the expectations for the season if

1582
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 1: you get if you're getting rid of good players, you're

1583
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: not ready to win now. I don't think they're in all.

1584
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: The Bills are exactly the opposite of that. They are

1585
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: ready to win right now right And because of that,

1586
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: I would argue against Jeffrey's contention that they're in a

1587
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: roster transition. I don't think they're there yet. Could be

1588
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: as soon as next year, could be as soon as

1589
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: next year, somewhat of a roster transition, mind the decisions

1590
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: they have to make, but not now right. Here's the thing,

1591
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: this year is kind of a standalone year. So you've

1592
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: got no question. We all agree Steph Diggs is awesome.

1593
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: We love him. He deserves a new contract, but he's

1594
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: under contract. They don't need to do anything with him

1595
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: unless he starts to be disgruntled. At Tremaine Edmunds, same thing,

1596
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 1: under contract, don't need to do anything right away with him.

1597
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, same thing, at Oliver, same thing. All these

1598
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,919
Speaker 1: guys are under contract. You don't have to do anything

1599
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: with any of these veteran guys right away. They're still

1600
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: under their old deals, particularly at Oliver, Dawson Knox, and

1601
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds. They're playing on their rookie deals now. They're

1602
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: making pretty good money now at the end of them,

1603
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: but they're still considered cheap labor by that equation. You

1604
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything with any of these guys,

1605
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: and you can certainly say you're gonna make it up

1606
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: to him at the end. But the club is sitting

1607
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: right now on the precipice of going all in on

1608
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: a season where they got all guns blazing, and they are.

1609
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: They're coming. They're coming down the tracks at one hundred

1610
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 1: miles an hour. They're a juggernaut offensively, they've got the

1611
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,839
Speaker 1: number one on defense, and they got the best quarterback

1612
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: in the league. Good grief, don't don't mess with it.

1613
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: Just keep on keep on going. They don't have to

1614
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: do anything with these veteran players. They're all under contract,

1615
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: they're all here. They're all here. Yeah, you don't have

1616
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: to mess with it or make due to the they

1617
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: signed the deals. They're ready. Let's go figure it out

1618
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: in the figure it out later. Um. And if you

1619
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: have to tear it apart a little bit, which I

1620
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: doubt that they will, Okay, we'll address some of that

1621
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: stuff then, but they're not gonna have to tear this

1622
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: thing apart in order to build it back up again

1623
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: even after this year. If they go, if they just

1624
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 1: kind of keep on rolling, break time for us here,

1625
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Steve and I with one final segment to go. We'll

1626
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: wrap up the thoughts on the tweet sheet here and

1627
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: next on One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health,

1628
01:26:48,080 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bills Radio Welcome back. Got one more on

1629
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet we wanted to run by you. This

1630
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: one was from Butch who said, Buffalo Bills, there's twenty

1631
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 1: twenty two draft class. You have two skilled players that

1632
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 1: can make an impact on offense and defense that we're injured.

1633
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: Both players are top ten players, Buffalo can move back

1634
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: and select either of them. Whether it's the wide receiver

1635
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: from Alabama Jamison Williams, I'm assuming he's meaning not John Metchi,

1636
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 1: you also had an acl injury, but isn't considered the

1637
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: same level of prospect. Or the outside linebacker from Michigan

1638
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 1: David A. Jabo. He tore his achilles, he's out for

1639
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: a year. Rum trade back, pick up some extra picks.

1640
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 1: It's a nice thought. I don't think Jamison Williams when

1641
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: the Bills p twenty five, let alone trading back to

1642
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: get him. That's just the way it's going to be.

1643
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:52,680
Speaker 1: It's a premium position. There's gonna be a team in

1644
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,600
Speaker 1: there that's got it, some depth, that can wait on

1645
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: the kid to get better. Uh, he's got a chance

1646
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 1: to get back late in the season and play. Yeah,

1647
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: there's going to be a team that takes a chance

1648
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: on him before he gets to Buffalo at twenty five.

1649
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: And the outside linebacker from Michigan who popped his achill,

1650
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 1: he's getting ready for his pro day. No, I mean

1651
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: the Bills are too deep at that spot now. Yeah,

1652
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: it's the wrong spot for the Bills to draft a guy.

1653
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: And I get it. You're deep there so you can

1654
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: draft him and wait on him without having to worry

1655
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, at fifty seven or at

1656
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: twenty five, no play a year where you're going for it. Yeah,

1657
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: you want as many people healthy on the train to

1658
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 1: pitch in when you need him because injuries happen. There's

1659
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,919
Speaker 1: no there's no reason to think the guy from Michigan.

1660
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. Yea. Everybody has their own opinion.

1661
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be some quality players that it can

1662
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: help you this year, and the Bills are all about

1663
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: I think this year for the time being, and I

1664
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that. As you discussed with

1665
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: Eric Athholm, between fifteen and nineteen, either the Eagles or

1666
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: the Saints are picking more times in five picks, right,

1667
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:04,719
Speaker 1: do they all do all those picks stay the same

1668
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 1: or do you think those two teams move around again,

1669
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: if not before the draft during the draft, Yes, it's interesting.

1670
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 1: Uh oh No, I think there's a chance that I

1671
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:14,639
Speaker 1: think one of them is going to move around again.

1672
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: You know what, somebody might move up to the Chargers

1673
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: spot to get in the middle in between, you know

1674
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 1: what I mean. Think about it because if you think, well,

1675
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 1: they pick that guy there, we got a chance to

1676
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, it'll be interesting for sure.

1677
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:35,480
Speaker 1: More draft talk tomorrow. We'll see you one
