1
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

2
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: Welcome in here on a Thursday, Chris Brown, Steve tasking

3
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: with you. One Bill's Live is your program of choice.

4
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: Thanks for making that choice, as we had a busy

5
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: day here thus far at One Bill's Drive. That's because

6
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: GM Brandon Bean was made available to the media, as

7
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 2: was head coach Sean McDermott, as they are in their

8
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: first week of the offseason conditioning program, and we said

9
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: one week away from the twenty twenty four NFL Draft.

10
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen also addressed the media just wrapped up. We

11
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: will re wrack his comments for you, so stay tuned

12
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: for that. But I think what we have to do

13
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: first here, Steve, and I know this aired live earlier,

14
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: but just to kind of put a bow on Brandon

15
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: Bean's comments from earlier today just before the noon hour,

16
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: what would be your overriding headline on his comments if

17
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: you had to put one on it.

18
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: I think it's it's I think it's more likely than

19
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: ever they're gonna move from the pick twenty eight. But

20
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: I don't know whether they're gonna move up or up

21
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: move back right, I don't think they pick it twenty

22
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: eight he said they didn't have as mint. They had

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: more first round grades in this draft than they did

24
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: last year. I think last year they arrived at the

25
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: number afterwards it was like eighteen. So let's say they

26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: have like twenty four twenty two, just outside that twenty

27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: five twenty three range where they you know, we thought

28
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: they'd get to to trade up. Do they then trade back?

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: And plus, the Bill's first round grades may not match

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: the Patriots or the Cardinals, or the Jets, or the

31
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: Dolphins or the Texans or you know, any of those

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: other teams, So they all those other teams may want

33
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: to trade up because they think those guys at twenty

34
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: eight are first round grades. So I think it's more

35
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: likely than ever the Bills trade up trade down.

36
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be lured into that necessarily. Just because Brandon

37
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: Bean said they don't have twenty eight first round grades

38
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: on players in this draft pool doesn't mean they can't

39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: sit at twenty eight and get one of those twenty

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: eight players because or twenty two players or whatever it is.

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: That's right, because their twenty two players aren't the same

42
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: as the thirty one other teams twenty two players with

43
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: first round grades. So I mean Miami's GM Chris Greer

44
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: said the same thing the other day. They're picking at

45
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: twenty one, and he said, we don't have twenty one

46
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: first round grades on players, but we think we'll get

47
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: one of our guys at twenty one. Why because he

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: knows there's a difference between the guys they have with

49
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: first round grades and the guys that the Pittsburgh Steelers

50
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: have with first round grades. Because at the end of

51
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: the day, the most important thing in grading a player

52
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: is is he a fit for the Bills or is

53
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: he a fit for the Dolphins? And the grade reflects

54
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: that to some degree, not dramatically, but it's a factor,

55
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: and it's what makes the grades different from one team

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: to the next on a certain prospect. Now, does just

57
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: about everybody have Marvin Harrison as a top five pick, Yes,

58
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: but there are others as you get further down where

59
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: there'll be some more some greater variants. So just because

60
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: the Bills don't have twenty eight players with first round

61
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: grades doesn't mean they can't get one of their guys

62
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: that they have with the first round grade at twenty eight,

63
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: because other teams are going to differ in what they have.

64
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: My overriding takeaway is Brandon couched at as best he can,

65
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: but he knows as well as everybody else, they've they've

66
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: got to take a receiver early. He knows that he

67
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: did his best to kind of massage it in such

68
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: a way to indicate, like, look number one wide out

69
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: maybe maybe not, maybe maybe not. But like I'll just

70
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: run through some of his comments. Here was his comment

71
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: on the wide receiver contingent on the roster. I would say,

72
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: we have a group of guys who bring different skill sets.

73
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: We like our group. It's not a glaring hole at

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: number one wide receiver, but would we like to add

75
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: to it? Yes, so they like the talent, they have

76
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: a receiver, but they would like to add to it.

77
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: I think that's fair and obvious. So nothing earth shattering

78
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: there on moving up or down the board, he says,

79
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: you know, I'll take every call.

80
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: We'll go through the.

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: Various scenarios up or down next week with our staff,

82
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: so we're fully prepared. But right now I couldn't tell

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: you what's gonna happen. And that's one hundred percent true.

84
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: Being also, when asked about moving into the top ten,

85
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: said no one in the top ten has called me,

86
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: and I haven't called them, but there's no rule it

87
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: says I can't, but I haven't called them yet, which

88
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: was kind of the one that got the most eyebrow

89
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: lifts from the media in attendance.

90
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: He yeah.

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: He was asked about the prospect of trading a future one,

92
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: which we know he's been averse to doing. Didn't even

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 2: do it to get Josh Allen.

94
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: He reiterated that today too.

95
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: I'll never say never as far as trading a future one,

96
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: but I never felt in the past, and he's referring

97
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: to his days in Carolina that we ever felt it

98
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: was worth it because you get to the draft next

99
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: year and you lament not having one. But we did

100
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: it for Diggs, so you feel it's worth it. Heck yeah,

101
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: so he's I mean, he was fence riding the best

102
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: he possibly could today.

103
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: It was great.

104
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: And then Bean was kind of asked seventeen different ways

105
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: about a number one wide receiver. So his words were,

106
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: we don't necessarily need a bonafide number one wide receiver

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: for this offense. We need guys who are smart, selfless,

108
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: who are going to make plays for this offense when

109
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: we need one and get yards after catch if the

110
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: situation presents itself, great, but we like our group.

111
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: You know.

112
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: There were other comments throughout the course of you know,

113
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: his press conference, but those were the biggest ones concerning

114
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: wide receiver. I think he knows. Look, Brandon knows what

115
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: people on the outside say. He doesn't pay close attention

116
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: to it, but I'm sure he's aware of it, and

117
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: I think he knows after moving on from Diggs. I mean,

118
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: the receiver need for the Bills is like it's like

119
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: Godzilla walking through down town Buffalo on Delaware Avenue. You

120
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: can't not see it.

121
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: Right. Well, here's the thing. When you lose a good player,

122
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: you want to replace him with a good player. And

123
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: that's why the Digs void is as is so glaring.

124
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: But I do think they've got enough guys here. I'm yes,

125
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: I think they're going to take a wide receiver. I

126
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: think they may even move up to do it. But

127
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: I am and that's what I would That's what I

128
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: would do. But I don't know that that this team.

129
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know if it's going to move

130
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: the needle for me one way or another. If they don't,

131
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: depending on who else they get. This is a draft

132
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: that's deep in those guys. They're going to get at

133
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: least one, probably two the over unders, probably two for

134
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: receivers in this draft class. Even if they pick all

135
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: ten spots.

136
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: Even if they reduce it to say eight picks, I

137
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: think it's still going to be two.

138
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: And if I'll say this, if they don't take one

139
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: at twenty eight, might be three.

140
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: I will be stunned if one of their first two

141
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: picks is not a wide receiver.

142
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: Stunned, I would agree.

143
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: I think the only other realistic first round pick for

144
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: the Bills, And again, the value has to be right.

145
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: We all understand that. But assuming that is the case,

146
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: let's just say hypothetically there's a run on receivers that

147
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: wasn't anticipated, or maybe for whatever reason, the Bills don't

148
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: like one of these perceived second tier receivers as much

149
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 2: as we think they might. I think the only other

150
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: option there is edge rusher. And the problem with that is,

151
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 2: I think most most boards that we have seen from

152
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: the draft gurus only have about three or four edge

153
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: rushers in round one. So it you know, and look,

154
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: we're fully expecting this to be a very offensive draft.

155
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean we're expecting it to break the record, which

156
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: is nineteen offensive players taking in Round one. That's the

157
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: most ever and I think this year will shatter that mark.

158
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,479
Speaker 2: So maybe they maybe they do get a look at

159
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: the second, maybe the third best edge rusher in the class.

160
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the only other possibility in round one

161
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: for if.

162
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: All their draft picks come in like where they've got

163
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: the picks fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds and seventh. If

164
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: it comes in the fourth round or later, what I

165
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: would probably sit here and wait on is for them

166
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: to make a little bit of a splash signing like

167
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: with you know, Odell Beckham Junior or Michael Gallup or

168
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: Michael Thomas or one of these guys that's out there

169
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: about it, you know, mvs one of those guys. They'll

170
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: get a veteran who's got a little juice and see

171
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: if they can do it with with that way, that

172
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: may be their plan. But if they don't pick a

173
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: guy at sixty or twenty eight, or don't one of

174
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: those first two picks of the draft isn't a wide receiver,

175
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: you almost think, Okay, they've got something on the burner

176
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: with one of these other guys out there. That may

177
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: happen like one of those one year deal things like,

178
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: you know, Leonard Floyd was last year at defensive end,

179
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: and I said this yesterday. We are so wrung up

180
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: in this Steph Diggs trade and all that. You look

181
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 3: at the offense, that's it. I mean, it's one wide

182
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: receiver and that's it. The entire rest of the offensive

183
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: roster is good to go. Let's go snap it. Defensively,

184
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: it's not quite the same. And that's why I you know,

185
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: you kind of think, okay, you're trying to think of

186
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: scenarios that may be what draws them away from it,

187
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: but only for the guy, right, only for a guy

188
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: that they think, man, we'll get more out of this

189
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: guy at defensive end than we would have gotten with

190
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: you know, Xavier Worthy, that I could. I can get

191
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: my mind around, because the defensive side of the ball

192
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: has got a ton of question marks and it's gonna

193
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: have a ton of new players, meaningful snap players, brand

194
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: new and so I that's the one way I kind

195
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: of like, Okay, you're trying to look for the point

196
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: of least resistance on not taking a wide receiver. That's it,

197
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: because the whole defense is going to be changed over

198
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: and they need some talent over there, so you can

199
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: say that all you want. And maybe, and maybe if

200
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: they do get a guy like somebody falls to them

201
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: and they get Michael Brian Thomas Junior, do they take

202
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: nine defenders the rest of the way.

203
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: I still think they take a second one.

204
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: They probably do. They probably do.

205
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: As we told you, Josh Allen just wrapped up addressing

206
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: the media here as the beginning of the offseason conditioning

207
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: program got underway on Monday, and naturally, joshuas asked a

208
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: lot of questions about the departure of Stefan Diggs via trade,

209
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: so we wanted to bring his comments to you here

210
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: on the show today. So without further ado, here is

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen.

212
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 5: Brandon had told us that he had spoken to you

213
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: prior to trading stuff on I think to alert you

214
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 5: that it was a possibility, and then post making that move.

215
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 5: Just what is your reaction to moving on from the

216
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 5: guy that you've had a lot of successful in the

217
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 5: last four years.

218
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely definitely hard to part ways

219
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 6: with a guy that's been very instrumental in our success

220
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 6: here over the last four years. And again, I can't

221
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 6: thank him enough for when he came in and how

222
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 6: hard he worked and what he taught me along the years,

223
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 6: And obviously I wish we can keep everybody. You know,

224
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 6: we've made a lot of changes this offseason, lost a

225
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 6: lot of veteran leadership, Steph being one of them. I

226
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 6: guess that's the nature of the business. And going into

227
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 6: year seven now, it's just kind of is what it is.

228
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 6: You know, I don't get paid to make changes on

229
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 6: the team. I pay to be the best quarterback I

230
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 6: can be and try to lead the guys on this team.

231
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 7: Have you spoke with Stuff since the move was late?

232
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I shared a text with him and got one

233
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 6: back and just thanking him for everything that he did

234
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 6: for me and always have a spot in my heart

235
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 6: for him and always love that guy like a brother,

236
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 6: and you know, I wish him nothing but the best.

237
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 8: What as you just.

238
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: Said there, and really you've been consistent throughout in being

239
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: having a lot of praise for for stuff on and

240
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 5: what he has meant to you and to the team.

241
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 5: That being said, there is there was a sense that

242
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 5: of maybe just outside speculation, is he happy?

243
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: Is he is he unhappy?

244
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: Why do you think that seemed to linger over the

245
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 5: team for a.

246
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 6: For as long as a dead I mean, to be honest,

247
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 6: I couldn't answer that question. It's you know, it's something

248
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 6: you may have to ask him at some point. But again,

249
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 6: I think with this there is a lot of opportunity

250
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 6: for our guys that are in that room right now,

251
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 6: and as an offense and really as a team to

252
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 6: evolve and grow and become a new version of the

253
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 6: Buffalo Bills, and and to come together as a team

254
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: over the course of OTA's is which we're doing right now,

255
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 6: and you know, get a lot of time before we

256
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 6: kick off the first game, so a lot to learn from.

257
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 6: You know, even going back and look at some of

258
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 6: the concepts that we're doing right now and and just

259
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 6: cleaning those up. It feels obviously it's frustrating to look

260
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 6: back and and see some of the stuff that was

261
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 6: on tape, especially for myself, but excited to address those

262
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 6: and and move forward and get better.

263
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 7: A trouble of this, well, what did Josh mean, do

264
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 7: you open this four year switch and how much more

265
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 7: confident are you of your abilities is to be able

266
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 7: to offset that tycheable loss?

267
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think, uh again, he meant. He

268
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 4: meant a lot.

269
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 6: You look at the statistics, you know, they don't they

270
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 6: don't lie. Numbers don't lie, so you know, but like

271
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 6: I said a few minutes ago, it's it's an opportunity

272
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 6: for those guys that we have in our room, bringing

273
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 6: in guys like Curtis mac and having Khalil and Dalton

274
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 6: and Dawson and guys that have been the system for

275
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: a while that know how things go and within the system,

276
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 6: like anybody can get the ball at any given time.

277
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: And these guys are very excited for that. They're working

278
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 6: extremely hard. It's good to see these guys here again.

279
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 6: Get to know some of these these younger guys better

280
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 6: and looking forward to uh, you know, getting to know

281
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 6: them as best as I can, so we can you know,

282
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 6: use that on the field.

283
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 9: I should leader and stem as well.

284
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 10: What you know, what do you need to see some

285
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 10: other offensive guys?

286
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 11: We need to step up from a leader should perspect it.

287
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 9: You know, So it's not just all anyho who's you

288
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 9: know a lot of other better in from the Minch

289
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 9: Moors to you guys like that. How do you go

290
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 9: be younger guys and you talk about it.

291
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 10: I didn't talk about leading by example.

292
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 9: But I what do you?

293
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 12: How do you do that?

294
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's an opportunity for for myself to

295
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 6: grow as a leader and to bring along some of

296
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 6: these young guys and new guys that we've brought into

297
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 6: our team. And that's an opportunity frankly, that I'm I'm

298
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 6: very excited about. You know, It's something that it's going

299
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 6: to be very challenging, but I'm very willing to do it,

300
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 6: you know, and having you know, Coach McDermott, having a

301
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 6: second year with Joe Brady, you know, being in my

302
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 6: seventh season now and being being here, it's kind of

303
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 6: crazy to think that I'm going into my seventh season.

304
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, I haven't sat too many

305
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 6: times up in front of you guys, you know, at

306
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 6: the start of Ota. So but again, it's just another

307
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: opportunity for me to go out there and be the

308
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 6: guy that I'm supposed to be and the guy that

309
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 6: I believe I am. And you know, I'm gonna need

310
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 6: guys along the way, But I think the most important

311
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 6: things I need from this team is guys to just

312
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 6: continue to work hard and buy into what we're doing

313
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 6: here and trust the processes coach McDermott always preaches, and

314
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 6: you know, us trusting in and being in what he's

315
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 6: doing and bringing the right guys in and just trying

316
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 6: to utilize those guys as as best as we can.

317
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 10: In history, I'm sorry, in the history of the league,

318
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 10: when a quarterback stays for a while in the team,

319
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 10: it almost is like they play with almost a totally

320
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 10: second team, and some guys even like a third team.

321
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 10: There's not that many guys who've been around as long

322
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 10: as you have here. Does it almost feel like going

323
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 10: into this year, it's like at that second stage of

324
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 10: your career with a bunch.

325
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 7: Of new guys.

326
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 6: I guess you can say that, you know, I've I've

327
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 6: been here with Micah and and Poe for since I've

328
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 6: been here, right, and to lose those guys is gonna

329
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: hurt in terms of the leadership aspect, in terms of

330
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 6: the familiarity that I have with coming in and being

331
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 6: able to talk with them not just about football, but

332
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: with you know, about life. So again, finding somebody you

333
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 6: know is isn't easy, But trusting the guys that we

334
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 6: have in this room, having a new center, you know,

335
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 6: not having Mitch, you know, Gabe was was so good

336
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 6: for us for the time that he was here and

337
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 6: such a presence in our locker room. But again, we

338
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 6: still have some guys that have played some really good

339
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 6: football over the course of their careers. And having a

340
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 6: guy like von Miller who's been there and done that,

341
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 6: and and and been to the pinnacle, been to the top,

342
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 6: bringing in Mike who's also done the same thing for

343
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: for two of the teams that he's played for, and

344
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 6: you know, relying on some of these guys that have

345
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 6: seen what it takes and going to be able to

346
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 6: utilize their knowledge for this team as well, you know.

347
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's a wrong thing or a

348
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: bad thing to get younger, you know. I think that.

349
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 6: As as a coaching staff, as a leader, to be

350
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 6: able to come and kind of mold these guys into

351
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 6: the team that you want to be, I think is

352
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 6: a very exciting opportunity. And again it takes takes to

353
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 6: a tangle. You need to have the right guys that

354
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 6: are willing to come in and work hard and do

355
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 6: things the right way, which I can confidently say in

356
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 6: this locker room right now, you know we have those guys.

357
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 13: Health Wise, How are you health wise, especially your shoulder

358
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 13: very good.

359
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, really good.

360
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 6: Obviously, taking the last month and a half to kind

361
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 6: of relax, let the body get back to it, you

362
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 6: know later, and you know, the last half the season,

363
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 6: especially the last four or five games, really felt like

364
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 6: got back to to what I felt like was, you.

365
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 4: Know, close to one hundred percent.

366
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 6: And uh, you know, started feeling like I was playing

367
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 6: like myself again and didn't take too many hits towards

368
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: the end of the season. So one of the off season,

369
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 6: you know, relatively healthy, and then I feel like I've

370
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: got some pt work, you know, throughout the last couple

371
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 6: of months and making sure that I'm just staying on

372
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 6: top of that and making sure my body is his

373
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 6: best shape it can best.

374
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 14: Josh, thank you.

375
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: Of the things that Stefan taught you, what would you

376
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: say are some of the things that you.

377
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 6: Learned and his his time here with you, Well, again,

378
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: I think you know, the concepts that we were able

379
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 6: to put in, the concepts that we were able to

380
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 6: run with him, his mentality, Uh, the way that he

381
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 6: attacked each and every practice, and you know, it was

382
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 6: very infectious, especially for the young guys seeing that.

383
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 4: So that's That's what I would say.

384
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 15: Brandon Bean said that he was going to take a

385
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 15: receiver in every round a draft. You planned with a

386
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 15: Stefan Diggs, you played with a John Brown and Nikole

387
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 15: be Easley. You pretty much got an idea of what

388
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 15: type of receiver that you looking to play with in

389
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 15: the future. Could you possibly tell us some characteristic stuff that.

390
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think it there's a lot of

391
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: talented guys in this draft.

392
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 6: It's it kind of goes without saying, and you know,

393
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 6: I wish I could tell you we're moving up or

394
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 6: moving back or staying put, and who's going to be there.

395
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 4: I honestly don't know.

396
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 6: I'm I'm I'm doing my own evails right now and

397
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 6: trying to lean being one way or another. But honestly,

398
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 6: it just kind of depends on on the direction of

399
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 6: what this offense wants to be, you know, with Joe

400
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 6: and myself and understanding how we would utilize certain guys

401
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 6: if we did pick them, and and how we're gonna

402
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 6: utilize the guys that are here, you know, And I think,

403
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 6: again you talk about having talent, I think bringing in

404
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 6: Curtis Samuel, the different things that he can do pairing

405
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 6: him along with Khalil, who's you know, came along last year,

406
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 6: especially later half of the season him come into his

407
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 6: you know, third year and getting better as time goes on,

408
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: having Dalton and Dawson and seeing what they can get

409
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 6: with what they can do. So bringing in somebody that

410
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 6: that pairs with those guys, but again it depends on

411
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 6: on really what we want to be as an offense

412
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 6: to see who's going to be the best fit.

413
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 4: And right now I couldn't tell you that.

414
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 16: Gosh, Brandon said that you like the draft.

415
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: When he likes that you like the draft, we know

416
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: that from your past.

417
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 17: What is your communication?

418
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 8: You see?

419
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: Like, how does it work? Do you see a guy,

420
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: do you hear the guy's name, you look at him,

421
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 3: You call Braham and go, hey.

422
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 18: What are you thinking here?

423
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: How does all that work?

424
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 17: Yeah?

425
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 6: I mean I look at all the highlight tapes on YouTube,

426
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 6: so everyone's everyone's a baller, you know on those on

427
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 6: those highlights. But you know, going down and actually watching

428
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: all their targets and seeing their mannerisms. And obviously I'm

429
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 6: not there in the the personal meetings, but I get

430
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: a lot of intel from the guys up in the bullpen.

431
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 6: And I will say this last year Draft Day I

432
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: sent being a text said Dalton kincaid, that's all I said.

433
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: You know, it felt like that the draft day.

434
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 6: Moment when Kevin is a Kevin Costner, Kevin Costra opens

435
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 6: his thing, it says Vonte mc no matter what.

436
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: That's those Dalton can eight, no matter what. Last year.

437
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 6: So I'd like to think that I have some input,

438
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 6: input and in who we get to pick, but honestly

439
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: I really don't.

440
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 17: So given the number of stoud whatever, what what we

441
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 17: regret might or be, and knowing that you rewrote the

442
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 17: offensive record book, what it couldn't get a hole you

443
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 17: landers stack.

444
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say that's the regret is not not

445
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 6: winning one. And uh, obviously I played this game, and

446
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 6: the other fifty two guys in that locker room played

447
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 6: this game to win super Bowls, and we want to

448
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 6: bring one very badly here to Western New York.

449
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 4: And that's that's my number one goal.

450
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 6: That's all I'm working for and I'm working towards right

451
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 6: now is figuring out how, how and what it takes

452
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 6: to uh get us over that hump and bring one back.

453
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 6: And we're gonna work tiresly until we do.

454
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: No staff okay, no match. So obviously the room looks different,

455
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 3: the leaders look different.

456
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: Who do you see in that room outside of the

457
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: ball that's ready to take a bigger stab as a

458
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 5: leader coming?

459
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm and I think you talk about guys that

460
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 6: are are working extremely hard. You know, I think last year,

461
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 6: especially Dion and Spence, how hard they worked and hell

462
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 6: well they played obviously garnered a lot of the tension,

463
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 6: and guys respect that.

464
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: Guys see that.

465
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 6: You look at Kleil and what he was able to

466
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 6: do in a limited role in stepping up late, and again,

467
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 6: guys that that play the game the right way. It's

468
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 6: kind of an unspoken rule you you tend to follow

469
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 6: those guys. Guys that follow the ball, Guys that make

470
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 6: the extra block, Guys that don't care if he scores

471
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 6: or he scores, as long as we're.

472
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: Winning football games.

473
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: And sometimes it's not your best player, but sometimes it's

474
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 6: your hardest worker that steps up and can say something

475
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 6: and guys respect that. So you know, there's we have

476
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 6: a few of those guys on this team right now.

477
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 6: And how it unfolds is how it unfolds. And I'm

478
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 6: anxious to see how it.

479
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: Does, all right. So that's uh Bill's quarterback Josh Allen

480
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: addressing the media just a short time ago. Wanted to

481
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: play you the main portion of his comments, and of

482
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: course he was having fun with draft day last year,

483
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: Dalton and kid. It was all that was that was

484
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 2: read on the text to Brandon Bean on Draft Day

485
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: called it. But yeah, I think later on in the

486
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: press conference, you know, he was asked, you know, what

487
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: his what Stefan Diggs did the best here and he

488
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: basically said he's thankful that he helped make him a

489
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: better player. So I think Josh said all the right

490
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: things today about Stefan Diggs, who is you know now

491
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: in Houston after the trade. And I think he's also

492
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: right about some young leaders that are going to have

493
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: to step forward because Mitch Morris had been a captain,

494
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: Jordan Poyer had been a captain, Michael Hyde had been

495
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 2: a captain, Stefan Diggs had been a captain, Gabe Davis

496
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 2: had been a captain, and they're all out the door now,

497
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: so there is a leadership void. But it sounds like

498
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 2: but he's on't what Josh said already, have some guys

499
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: in mind to assume some of that leadership. I would

500
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: put Dion Dawkins in that category. You heard Josh Allen

501
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: mention Spencer Brown as well on the offensive side of

502
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: the ball. So we'll see where that goes.

503
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's never easy when you come back and

504
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: you realize there's going to be some pretty significant players

505
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 3: out of the locker room, and it takes a while

506
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: for it to become normal again. You got to get

507
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 3: used to the new normal. It's like rehabbing an injury.

508
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: You got to get used to the way your body

509
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: feels now, and same thing in the locker room and

510
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: as a team. Now they do this every year as well.

511
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: That when they start coming back for these OTAs and

512
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: mini camps and stuff, they'll start to do team building exercise.

513
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 3: So guys will slowly start to get to know each

514
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: other and be able to talk to each other, call

515
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: each other by name, sit down, you know, and have

516
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: a conversation. You get into a routine where you see

517
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: them all the time and you talk to them all

518
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: the time, and you become friends. Takes a while and

519
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 3: it's new brand, you know, Brandon said today, You know,

520
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: change is you know it's hard, but it's not always bad,

521
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: not always bad, And I think that's the mentality of

522
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: these guys, and I'm sure they're typical of most NFL

523
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: locker rooms. You tend to spin it positive, say this

524
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: is going to be great, let's go well, and you

525
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: kind of get enthused about a new team.

526
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And head coach Sean McDermott, whose comments will hear

527
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: a little bit later on in the show, kind of

528
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: echoed that, saying, you know, that's kind of what the

529
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: offseason conditioning program and OTAs are about, getting the new

530
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: guys around the guys that have been here and starting

531
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: the blend of putting that team together for the twenty

532
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: twenty four season, because, as you hear coach McDermott say

533
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: time and time again, every year is different and this

534
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: one might be more different than most in the Bean

535
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: McDermott era, just due to the player turnover alone, and

536
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: so being here this time of year and getting to

537
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: know each other is part of the all important process

538
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 2: and it's at work even as we speak. Topic of

539
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: discussion for you today though you heard Brandon Bean's comments

540
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: about wide receiver and the draft and their inclinations, what

541
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: they feel they need, how important it is to add

542
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: a bona fide receiver that could grow into the number

543
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: one role. He didn't make it sound like it's the

544
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: end all be all, he said, but but if we could,

545
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: we absolutely would.

546
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: Maybe.

547
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, we're asking you today, who

548
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 2: do we expect to be added to the bills wide

549
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: receiver room.

550
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: Now we're making fun of it because Brownie is you know,

551
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: he's you know, he's a hard he's a typical I'm

552
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: hard guy journalism, you know, cynical, yea New York kind

553
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 3: of Long Island.

554
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

555
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's like he doesn't believe Brandon Bean. Just

556
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: let me put it that way.

557
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 2: Oh, I believe Brandon Bean at the think he's one

558
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 2: of the most self effacing general managers in the league.

559
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: I mean, he shoots as straight as he possibly can,

560
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 2: which is saying a lot compared to some other gms.

561
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 3: In this so I but Brownie is giving the vibe

562
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 3: that he doesn't he believes. Well, there's more so that

563
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: Brandon Bean is hell bent on getting a wide receipts well.

564
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of other people feel that

565
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: way too. There are certain things sitting up there that

566
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: he has to say. You know, he has to couch

567
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: some things. The only GM that didn't was Buddy Nicks,

568
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, I mean that guy shot too straight, like

569
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: he told you everything they were going to do and

570
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: then did it, so there was there was no secret

571
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: with him. At least there is an air of secrecy

572
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: to some extent here, you know.

573
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: With I mean, the last thing you want to do

574
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: is tell a tell a room full of p if

575
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: you want to keep some things quiet, you don't want

576
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: to tell everything. The last people you want to tell

577
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: are the room full of people that he speaks to

578
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: once a week or once every season. But this time,

579
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: who's job it is? To tell everybody else what you said? Yeah?

580
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: So you you know that's you know, that's football one

581
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: oh one.

582
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: But we want to know from you who, after hearing

583
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean's comments today or reading them on Twitter or

584
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: whatever other outlet you chose to digest them, who do

585
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: we expect to be added to the Bill's Wide Receiver

Speaker 2: room eight oh three oh five point fifty one eighty

587

Speaker 2: on board if you can't reach us there, there's always

589
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet at one Bill's Live fire off a

590
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: comment to us, based on Brandon Bean's comments, who do

591
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: you think is going to be in that Bill's Receiver

592
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: room next week? By Friday? We take a break here,

593
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: but plenty more coming up on the show, including head

594
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: coach Sean McDermot, who addressed the media today, and NFL

595
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: Network executive producer Charlie. You can our number two to

596
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: lay out NFL Networks draft coverage next week from Detroit.

597
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: Plenty more coming your way here on One Bill's Live

598
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 2: Stay with Us, we're asking you who do we expect

599
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: to be added to the Bill's Wide Receiver Room. We

600
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: heard Brandon Bean's comments today. He was asked a number

601
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: of questions about their outlook not only at the wide

602
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: receiver class, but the current state of their wide receiver room.

603
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: They said they liked the group, but if they could

604
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: add to it, they'd like to. And I know that

605
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: comes as no surprise, but he had a lot of

606
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: other things to say. So we want to know from

607
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: you who you think they would be most interested in

608
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: adding to that wide receiver room. We lead off with

609
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: Tim in Charlotte. What's up?

610
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: Tim?

611
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 13: Okay, Hey, guys, appreciate you having me on again. I

612
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 13: just wanted to comment and say that I really truly

613
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 13: think there's some form of honesty with Brandon Bean. I

614
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 13: don't think that it's fully a smoke screen him saying

615
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 13: that we don't need a true bona fide number one.

616
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 13: I think that with Joe Brady, I think they're going

617
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 13: to really spread the ball around, and I think they

618
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 13: like guys who can do multiple things. You know, it's

619
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 13: a matchup league. It's kind of a chess match every

620
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 13: single week. And I think that even if you guys

621
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 13: have if you have a couple of guys who have

622
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 13: redundant skill sets, what comes to mind for me is

623
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 13: like a Kalusha kire Lad McConkie, Curtis, Samuel Well, things

624
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 13: like that, but you can deploy them in five different ways.

625
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 13: I think that that's going to be a really good

626
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 13: thing for the Bills, and Brandon Bean and Josh Josh

627
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 13: Ambols kind of said it themselves that you know, there's

628
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 13: a lot of opportunity coming up for this offense, and

629
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 13: this is a new look for them, So I'm very intrigued.

630
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 13: I don't have a particular person on who I want

631
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 13: them to add, but I just I think that there's

632
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 13: a little bit of honesty today. I don't think it

633
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 13: was all smoke screen and I want to hear your thoughts.

634
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like I said earlier, I think

635
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: he's one of the most straightforward gms in the league

636
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: when it comes to addressing the media and giving answers.

637
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: He doesn't just give the media something they can chew on.

638
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: I think there is a lot of truth in what

639
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: he feels comfortable divulging. We know he can't divulge everything

640
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: that's unrealistic, but I think he's one of the more

641
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: self effacing gms that I've ever been around. And the

642
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: comment that sticks with me the most is when he

643
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: said today, we don't necessarily need a bonafide number one

644
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: wide receiver for this offense. We need guys who are smart, selfless,

645
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: who are going to make plays when we need one

646
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: and get yards after catch if it presents itself. And

647
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: he said, they like our they like their group, but

648
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: they are looking to add to it, which I don't

649
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: think is any secret.

650
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 3: I would agree they can like their group and still

651
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: think that they need somebody there to add some talent.

652
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: They may not be sure that it's talented enough to

653
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: get it done, or that it couldn't be improved. And

654
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: I think in this point in history, I kind of

655
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: have to agree with him. That side of the ball,

656
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: meaning offense, is a little. It carries some weight. That

657
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: defense doesn't pass Rushers okay, corners okay, everybody else not

658
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: so much. I mean they ranked down the priority list.

659
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 3: In this day and age of the NFL. We say

660
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: it all the time, it is an arms race with

661
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert Trevor, Lawrence

662
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: tuatonga Iloa, Aaron Rodgers. You go down the list, Anthony Richardson, CJ. Stroud,

663
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: you go down the list. You gotta keep up. You're

664
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: gonna have to score points in this league to keep up.

665
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: And all these teams have those quarterbacks that I just

666
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: named that can make something out of nothing. We've seen

667
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: Josh do it, I mean countless times to the tune

668
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: of like a couple one hundred touchdowns in his career

669
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: so far. You call the perfect defense. And I don't

670
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: care if you got eleven Hall of Famers out there.

671
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: This guy turns it into a touchdown. Pat Mahomes turns

672
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: it into a touchdown, you know. Lamar Jackson outruns, it

673
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 3: just turns it into a touchdown. So defense is really

674
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 3: difficult to play these days.

675
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 12: So I so.

676
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: It's easy to say you got to have both sides

677
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: of the ball, but in this day and age, you've

678
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 3: got to have all your guns blazing on offense.

679
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: And while I respect what Tim's point is that there

680
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: isn't any receiver that they wouldn't consider, I agree with that,

681
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: But at the same time, at twenty eight in round one,

682
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: we know the history here. It's about elite physical traits,

683
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: and if they can't get that and the value on

684
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: the board for elite physical traits a wide receiver is absent,

685
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: they will look elsewhere like Ed Rusher and then maybe

686
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: address receiver in round two. That's the only way I

687
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: think they move off of it if the value is

688
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: not right. Let's go to Mark in Tanawanda next. What's

689
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 2: up Mark?

690
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 8: Hi, guys, I say that the Bills should just stay

691
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 8: where they are, quit playing, you know, don't play games

692
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 8: with the draft. Moving up to get a super player

693
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 8: like Josh Allen is a once in a lifetime move,

694
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 8: But for the most part, staying at twenty eight and

695
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 8: whatever on your draft. There is a plethora of receivers

696
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 8: in the draft. I personally like this. What is his name,

697
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 8: Makakee from Georgia. I think he's a super receiver. And

698
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 8: teams that are always playing games with the draft wind

699
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 8: up being the Chicagos or the Buffalo Bills. From seventeen

700
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 8: years of not being anywhere in the football game, I

701
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 8: think we should just stay where we are and don't

702
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 8: play games.

703
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Mark, I know mkaukie's a popular guy,

704
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: I would say, and we've taken calls on this. Some

705
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: have said he's too much like Khalil Shakir. You need

706
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: something different in the mix. I don't. I'm not saying

707
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: I would be upset if they took ladmk k. I

708
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 2: think he's going to be a successful NFL player, but

709
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: I understand the sentiment you need a guy that can

710
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: consistently line up outside. Not saying McConkie can't do that,

711
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: but I think there are better options, probably ahead of

712
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: him in the pecking order, that can fulfill that role,

713
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: maybe a little more effectively. Because I'm going to tell

714
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: you right now, there are some people that just flat

715
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: out believe press coverage, which is far more physical in

716
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: the NFL, could be an issue for him. He's one

717
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty four pounds, so you know, and he's

718
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 2: five to eleven, and so he does have quickness. I

719
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: think his ideal place is the slot, and I'm not

720
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: saying it can't be a successful NFL player. I think

721
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: he will be. But there are detractors out there about him,

722
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: and I think that's why he's considered a borderline round one,

723
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: round two talent.

724
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he might be kind of receiver that Brandon

725
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: Bean was talking about when he says you got to

726
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 3: have a guy that fits your scheme in here's the thing.

727
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: If you put, for instance, all do it in our

728
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 3: mind's eye, and Brownie and I do this all the time,

729
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: and Bill's fans are notorious for this. You plug a

730
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 3: guy like Dlad McConkie into the Bill's offense with Kinkaid

731
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 3: and Shakir and Curtis Samuel, and it strikes me is

732
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: Josh will be playing darts. It'll be a dink and

733
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 3: dunk move the chains offense, and Josh will get big

734
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 3: plays when he pulls it down and runs with it.

735
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 3: It's hard to picture anybody having the skill set to

736
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 3: go over the top consistently. Now, maybe you can just

737
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 3: send a guy they got to cover anybody goes deep,

738
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: but you're not gonna g anybody deep that's going to

739
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: be open. So I'm I'm kind of thinking that would

740
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: undercut one of your quarterback's best attributes. And that's the

741
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: strength of his arm and the fact that he can

742
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 3: threaten the field every inch of the field from wherever

743
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage is right. Yeah, So I think

744
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: a guy like Mconkie, while he's a good player, and

745
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: I think he's I agree with Brownie, you got one

746
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 3: and here's that guy, and that's a spot. Well if

747
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 3: and if you're gonna draft him number one at Mconkie

748
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: at number one, you're not you're not gonna like, you're

749
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: not gonna cut him, you know. I mean, so what

750
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: are you gonna do with Khalil Shakir? Is he gonna

751
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 3: get on that and both of them on the field

752
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: at the same time. I mean that that kind of

753
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: to me speaks of, you know, he needs some hitch

754
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 3: routes and crossing.

755
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 2: You need diversification. So it's a long way of saying

756
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: you need a diversification in your offense.

757
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, which I just don't think you'll have enough skill

758
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 3: sets with McConkey mixed with the guys they already have.

759
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to Elliott in Rochester next. What's up Elliott, big.

760
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 19: Guys, thanks for taking my call. So a lot of

761
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 19: the same stuff that some of the other callers are saying.

762
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 19: I do want a pushback on the You know, we

763
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 19: think back to the doors of years right, and the

764
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 19: offensive attack was attempted to be more downfield than at

765
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 19: times it was successful and other times not. And then

766
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 19: last year in the playoffs when we needed someone who

767
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 19: could go deep right, we needed to have a deeper

768
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 19: passing attack and we kind of fell short, especially in

769
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 19: that playoff game versus Kansas City. But some of the

770
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 19: other guys that are more of like the second round,

771
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 19: third round grades, or even maybe fourth fifth round grades

772
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 19: like Jaman Baker, Tremaine Burton, maybe even mal Kai Corley,

773
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 19: or how about even Christian McCaffrey's brother, Luke McCaffrey coming

774
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 19: from a proven athletic family there, maybe even Ricky Piersoll.

775
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 19: But I think the best move is maybe if we

776
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 19: do have a guy we love at the end of

777
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 19: the first round to go that route, or if we

778
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 19: go defensive. That's not a bad move either. I mean,

779
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 19: we got Russo a few years back late in the

780
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 19: first round, and he's proven to be a great player,

781
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 19: so we see the value that defense can add there.

782
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 19: But I'm I've finally shifted to that second, third, fourth round,

783
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 19: maybe even trade up into the second round again, get

784
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 19: two second round type of receivers, moving up with some

785
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 19: of those extra fourth and fifth round picks. I really

786
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 19: think that's probably the best strategy if we follow follow

787
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 19: the mold that the Packers did. They brought in uh

788
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 19: Romeo Dobbs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reid, all second, third, fourth

789
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 19: round guys, and you don't you don't look at that

790
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 19: team in Green Bay and say, holy crap, they've got,

791
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 19: you know, studs to throw the ball to. But rather

792
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 19: they've got just a bunch of different guys that piece

793
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 19: together very well. And just looking at the Bills offense

794
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 19: currently with James Cook and Josh Allen being great at

795
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 19: running the ball effectively, even bringing in another big back

796
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 19: to to help Ty Johnson, maybe Ray Davis out of

797
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 19: Kentucky or Audric Estimated, bigger guys that can you know,

798
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 19: diversify that run game. But there's plenty of good receivers

799
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 19: in this draft, especially in that second third round territory.

800
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 19: So I don't think it was necessarily smoke excerience what

801
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 19: they're talking about, and like, like we've touched down. It's

802
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 19: all about getting the right personality fit, the right attitude

803
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 19: fit for Buffalo to avoid those kinds of issues that

804
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 19: you know might have been there in the past or

805
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 19: may not have been. But definitely not a panic situation

806
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 19: if if they don't trade up and try to get

807
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 19: one of the elite guys, because at the end of

808
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 19: the day, how many how many teams in the NFL

809
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 19: have an elite guy like the Vikings dude justin Jefferson,

810
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 19: and it just proves to not be enough because it's

811
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 19: always about how the entire offense is operating. So curious

812
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 19: on your thoughts, guys, Thanks for taking my call, yeah

813
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 19: and looking forward to listening.

814
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of fact in there. Elliott I will say,

815
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that two two's are realistic by trading up.

816
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: I think that's more realistic by moving back and out

817
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: of round one. I anticipate that if they do move

818
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: up the board on Day two, they're going to try

819
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 2: to add a third round pick. That was a pick

820
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: they hoped to have all along anyway, and I thought powerback.

821
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: It was something Brandon Bean was asked about today. He

822
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: understands why people feel they need to add that because

823
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 2: Latavius Murray and Damian Harris no longer on the roster,

824
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: and he didn't deny that that would be good to add,

825
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 2: but he said, we're not backing ourselves into a corner

826
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 2: that it's got to only be a power back. They said,

827
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: as long as we can take the most talented back

828
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: on the board, that's what's more important. But if it

829
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: happens to be a power back, well, then gravy it's

830
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: a bonus.

831
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's you'd still you'd love to be in a

832
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: spot where you can take whatever the best player is

833
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: at any point. But you know, you've got all these

834
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: these picks from the fourth round down and certainly there's

835
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 3: some cachet there. This is a very deep draft for

836
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: some of these for some of these players in the fourth,

837
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: fifth and sixth rounds to come in and contribute. But

838
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: make no mistake, the Bills have We said it yesterday.

839
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 3: We had it on that was our topic yesterday. What's

840
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 3: the minimum you got to get out of this draft.

841
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 3: You can't walk out of this draft without somebody in

842
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 3: the top from twenty eight or sixty that can step

843
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 3: on to help you. Now, I'm you gotta you gotta

844
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 3: get better, and you got to get physically talented guys

845
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 3: to do that. And that's at the top of the draft.

846
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but one of your phone

847
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 2: calls when we returning here on one Bill's Live, stay

848
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: with us, all right, who do we expect to be

849
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: added to the Bills wide receiver room? You heard brain

850
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: and beans comments today as he addressed the media just

851
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: before the noon hour, So you let us know what

852
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: did his words tell you? The Bills are going to

853
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: add to the Bills wide receiver room. Eight O three

854
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: oh five fifteen the number to get on board. Let's

855
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 2: go to Seth in Buffalo next. What's up, Seth?

856
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 20: It's Jeff.

857
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Jeff, Yeah, I'm just riding here. Sorry about that.

858
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 20: That's all right, man, Yeah, I'm gonna beat the same

859
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 20: drum that has been already beaten. I think Lad McConkey

860
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 20: is the guy that Josh would like to have, you know,

861
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 20: because I think he's cold. Beasley two point zero and

862
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 20: he can but accepted. He can get the yards after catch,

863
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 20: he can get those yak yards that everybody likes. And

864
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 20: I think he can also stretch the field as well

865
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 20: as Shakir. I think they can both possibly you know,

866
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 20: stretch the field. And I also think that Curtis Samuels

867
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 20: is the is somebody that I think that Brandon Bean.

868
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 20: I could be wrong. I don't know, but I think

869
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 20: Brandon Bean thinks that he he is going to be

870
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 20: Steph Diggs's replacement. I think he thinks that he could

871
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 20: be the number one guy because you know, they got

872
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 20: him and then they let Diggs go. I think that

873
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 20: that he thinks that having him with a better quarterback

874
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 20: is going to could turn him into a number one guy.

875
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

876
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 20: And the same as Diggs helped Josh, I think Josh

877
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 20: can help Samuels. And I think, like I said, I

878
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 20: think Lad McConkey is, uh, you know, the Cole Beasley

879
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 20: type guy that Josh depended on for a long time. Yeah,

880
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 20: there you go, and that's it.

881
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, Jeff, Yeah, yeah, no problem.

882
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying. As we've discussed earlier, though,

883
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: I think they have that guy already and you even

884
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 2: mentioned him Shakier. Go watch Shakier's last four games in

885
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: a Bill's uniform. Go watch him. I'm encouraging you. He

886
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: was essentially him and Kincaid were the top guys in

887
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: the offense. I know Diggs had a nice game against

888
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: the Dolphins in the AFC Division Title game in Week eighteen,

889
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: but Shakir was instrumental in helping them win that game.

890
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 2: He was instrumental in the playoffs. I mean the touchdown

891
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: he had against the Chiefs by the front pylon, the

892
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: shake and bake to put Michael Walker, the linebacker for

893
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: the Steelers, on his rear end in the red zone there.

894
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 2: I mean, those were huge, huge plays, and we saw

895
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: the dynamic nature of his game. You already have lad McConkey.

896
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: It's Khalil Shakir, That's who he is. And then you

897
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 2: want to address Samuel because that's a guy that's never

898
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: had a chance to be a number one guy. But

899
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 2: as three seasons of over fifty catches, two over sixty

900
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: as a number two receiver.

901
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 3: Right, and he's been playing with not Josh Allen so exactly.

902
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 2: It's played with Sam Howell, Teddy Bridgewater and Tyler Heineke.

903
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll see. I'm kind of I can get

904
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 3: on that bandwagon, Jeff, but you're right, I'm anxious to

905
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 3: see what Curtis Samuel can do with Josh Allen at

906
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 3: quarterback and Joe Brady's offensive coordinator. Khalil Shakir, to me,

907
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 3: proved his worth last year. Khalil Shakir had a better

908
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: year in Buffalo at the end of the season last year,

909
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 3: he had a better year than Buffalo than lad McConkie

910
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 3: did at Georgia because he was doing it against playoff

911
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: teams on a run where they had to win to

912
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 3: stay in it, and he was helping and a new

913
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, unlocked a lot of things in

914
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 3: this offense and we didn't know we're there last year.

915
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna remind everybody second half of the Chiefs game,

916
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: Steve Spagnolo put Lajerius snead on Khalil Shakir, just to

917
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: give you an idea on where things were going at

918
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: the end of the season in the pecking order of

919
00:47:54,200 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 2: this receiving court. Put Lagerius snead on Khalil Shakir. He's

920
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 2: gonna explode this year. I'm just telling you, yeah that that, Yeah,

921
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: that it. Khalisha kir exploded onto the scene at the

922
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: end of the year last year. Yeah, let's squeeze in

923
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: Leslie and Buffalo here before the break. What he got

924
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: for us? Leslie?

925
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 9: How you doing, Chris Good? I'm wondering if we can't

926
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 9: drafted the receivers that we really, really really want, could

927
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 9: we put a package together? Go still one of Joe

928
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 9: Burrows receivers T Higgins. We have two veterans. You take

929
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 9: that core.

930
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a great thought, Leslie, but we've

931
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 2: already heard from T Higgins himself and from the Bengals organization.

932
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: They've publicly said he is not going to be available

933
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: for trade now. If you give it put together an

934
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 2: offer they can't refuse. I suppose things could change there,

935
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 2: but it sounds as though the Bengals want to run

936
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: it back one more time with Chase and Higgins as

937
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: their franchise tagged player and go into twenty twenty four

938
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 2: with a healthy Joe Burrow and try to see if

939
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: they can get back to the Super Bowl with that

940
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: triumvirate on offense one last time. They know they're not

941
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: going to keep Higgins after this year.

942
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: They're paying Higgins twenty one million dollars this year. Yeah,

943
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: so you got to make his deal more attractive than that.

944
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 3: That's hard to do at this point of the game

945
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: when you've got all these draft picks out there, and

946
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: the price you would have to pay to get him

947
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: off that roster would be exorbitant, almost like going up

948
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: to the top ten of this draft. So I'm saying, yes,

949
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: it's a good idea. He's a great player, but you're

950
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: not going to get it done.

951
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: Break time for us here. When we come back, our

952
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,520

976
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 3: cast are we looking at over the three days.

977
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 21: Yeah, we boosted our numbers. Steve, We've got a lot

978
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 21: of increased shoulder programming. I know Bill's fans are fans

979
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 21: of Good Morning Football. That took a little hiatus. We're

980
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 21: bringing GMFB back Thursday, Friday Saturday from seven to ten

981

00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,439

984
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 21: we all know Jamie er at All had a baby,

985
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 21: so combat to get to Jamie and the baby. So

986
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 21: we'll be back in full forth there. You know, the

987
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 21: regular casting characters Night One, Rich Eyes and Daniel Jeremiah,

988
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 21: Charles Davis, Joel Klatt, Ian Rappaport. This year we have

989
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 21: Emmy nominated kid Harttungue doing our stage interviews, so we're

990
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 21: ready at rock and roll right.

991
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 2: And I think the cool thing, you know, you've kind

992
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: of partnered with ESPN to have some crossover commentators, you know,

993
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 2: going back and forth. What kind of extra layering and

994
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: insight do you feel that kind of brings to the production.

995
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, Chris, I'm just trying to put my

996
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 21: league hot on there too. For us, we're just trying

997
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 21: to make the draft as big as we can. So

998
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 21: having melt Kaiper on Total Axis on Tuesday, or Field

999
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 21: Gates on Paths of Draft on Wednesday, or Steve Smith

1000
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 21: Senior on the six o'clock Sports Center, Mina Kimes doing

1001
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 21: Move the Sticks podcast today, Kurt Warner and Daniel Jeremiah

1002
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 21: doing Get Up and NFL Live respectively tomorrow, it only

1003
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 21: makes this event feel bigger. The draft, as everyone knows,

1004
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 21: is all about hope. It's driven by the players that

1005
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 21: are going to be in the selection process, and we're

1006
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 21: fortunate this year that top heavy teams and big markets

1007
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 21: and quarterback needs. So anything we can do together with

1008
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 21: ABC and ESPN and ourselves to boost this event is

1009
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 21: considered to be a plus.

1010
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 16: I like doing our part. They are great partners in this.

1011
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 21: So whether you're watching on NFL network, ESPN or ABC,

1012
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 21: we hope that there are as many eyeballs as we can.

1013
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 21: It's almost like election coverage, right, you can't you choose

1014
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 21: whatever you want to choose. We have our different tendencies

1015
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 21: of how we present the event, but hopefully the event

1016
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 21: itself has a big number and that's that's the goal

1017
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 21: of doing that.

1018
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 3: Guy, First of all, what's the venue? What is the

1019
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 3: actual venue where the stage you're going to be set up?

1020
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 3: And what about the green room?

1021
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 17: Was that?

1022
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 3: What's that that set up? How many guys have you

1023
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: got to say yes to be there?

1024
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1025
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 16: So the venues directly downtown Steve.

1026
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 21: The theaters being built right now, so ESPN and NFL

1027
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 21: that will have a theater set, ABC and then our

1028
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 21: second set on NFL THATWI will be right outside about.

1029
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 16: One hundred yards from there the green room.

1030
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 21: I don't have the name specifically, but thirteen players have

1031
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 21: accepted a bid to the green room that got released

1032
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 21: last week. But all the big names will be there,

1033
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 21: Cale Williams, Drake May, Jayden Daniels, Marvin Harrison Junior.

1034
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 16: So there's a lot of star power here. It's a

1035
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 16: large foot print.

1036
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 21: I think you could probably say it can look similar

1037
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 21: to Philadelphia in twenty seventeen, although Philly was on the

1038
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 21: steps in museums.

1039
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 16: We're looking at upwards like three.

1040
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 21: Hundred thousand pre registered guests have put their names in

1041
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 21: to a arrive to have some sort.

1042
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 16: Of footprint out there. So the scene is going to

1043
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 16: be huge.

1044
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 21: Detroit, as we all know, is experiencing a boon here

1045
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 21: with the Lions being the leaders of the North.

1046
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: So we expect a.

1047
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 21: Big crowd with as big a footprint that we as

1048
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 21: we had in Philadelphia seventeen if those fans remember with them.

1049
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 16: But it's gonna be a scene.

1050
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, how much I know there isn't any pre sip

1051
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 2: at least in the forecast for Thursday and Friday. How

1052
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 2: much do you have to make whether a consideration with

1053
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 2: an operation this size.

1054
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's a good question. We have backup continuency in

1055
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 21: Los Angeles. The goal is never to come to Los

1056
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 21: Angeles during the draft when this happens. But our main

1057
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 21: set is weather proof. The one thing we can't control

1058
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 21: the weather. Right now, it looks like some but nothing

1059
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 21: out of the ordinary thunderstorms or god forbid, knocking on wood,

1060
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 21: any sort of other high winds or anything else.

1061
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 16: But we're good to go rain or shrine.

1062
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 21: It's a rain or shine event, and I think we're

1063
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 21: gonna be ready to step it in clock eastern on Thursdays.

1064
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 3: What's your biggest fear, you know what, Steve Chuck.

1065
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 21: If there's no movement and there's nothing going on like

1066
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 21: we want. I think we've said this before and the

1067
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 21: many times we've done this. We want some cash at

1068
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 21: the top. We want a surprise pick. Maybe at two,

1069
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 21: maybe there's a trade. Right at three, maybe a surprise

1070
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 21: team moves up there. My biggest fear is just everything

1071
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 21: kind of going the way it does, not much movement.

1072
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 21: This event is better when there is chaos, when people

1073
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 21: audibly gasp whether there's a move at the top or

1074
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 21: the bottom.

1075
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 16: Those are the best drafts that I've experienced.

1076
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 21: I think those are the best drafts that the fans experience,

1077
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 21: not fans of those teams maybe that are palpitating whether

1078
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 21: or not what is this move the right roover or

1079
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 21: the wrong movement? But you know, truly fear is you know,

1080
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 21: something that's not necessarily literally real. We all develop that

1081
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 21: in our heads. So regardless of what happens, I think

1082
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 21: this this draft is so loaded with the names that

1083
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 21: people recognize over the years, and these major market, major

1084
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 21: fan bases that are dying to become anything like the

1085
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 21: Bills at this point that get that franchise, Foreststone at.

1086
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 16: Quarterback or anyone else.

1087
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 21: So I feel, you know, we feel pretty confident that

1088
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 21: there should be some excitement at the top. And who knows, right,

1089
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 21: you guys have heard more than I am that there's

1090
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 21: gonna be a lot of movement for these quarterbacks.

1091
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 2: And I know that day three is the longest of

1092
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 2: the three days, when you guys have already been added

1093
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: for two late nights. What is what is typically the

1094
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: fuel of choice that you find amongst your cast your

1095
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 2: crew to kind of power through day three, especially knowing

1096
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 2: those guys in the truck have to be sharp for

1097
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: stump the truck late in the draft, et cetera.

1098
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 21: Yes, So typically we try to get the local fair

1099
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 21: wherever we are. In day three, so I mentioned Philly

1100
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 21: it was a heavy cheese steak day on Day three

1101
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 21: there Detroit will be a lot of Detroit style pizza.

1102
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 21: But if the draft ever comes a Buffalo, I can

1103
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 21: guarantee you wings will be there on dating. So we're

1104
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 21: talking a heavy amount of Detroit style pizza. Being from Chicago.

1105
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 21: I actually like Detroit style pizza. It's pretty good, So

1106
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 21: that'll fuel us. But you know, Chris, you bring up

1107
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 21: a great point. Stump the truck is something that will

1108
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 21: entertain our viewers. Run Rich Run, which is his great

1109
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 21: charity for twenty years that he's done with Saint Jude

1110
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 21: raising money for that. And then we have our second

1111
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 21: year for you dog lovers in Buffalo. Our second year

1112
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 21: puppy adoptions will happen live on air. We have great

1113
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 21: success with that latter in Kansas City. We're going to

1114
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 21: do it again this year with the Michigan un Made Society,

1115
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 21: so puppies will be available for adoption.

1116
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 16: I believe that can be delivered statewide on Saturday, so

1117
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 16: that's something to look into. But yeah, pizza is the

1118
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 16: way to go. First month.

1119
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 3: How much pre recorded programm are you going to have?

1120
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 3: And I know it's a lot event, and you know,

1121
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 3: all the pixel be live and you'll be reactions and

1122
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 3: all that once it gets going. How early? How much

1123
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 3: before the draft are you gonna start? Do you have

1124
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: any feature stories that you're gonna lead up to the

1125
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 3: draft with any Is there gonna be any pre recorded

1126

00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 3: be live? And let's go.

1128
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 21: Most of this stuff we're targeting to Steve is gonna

1129
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 21: be live. We have sixty hours of live programming that week.

1130
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 21: There are some great features right now, at the top

1131
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 21: of my head, I can't think of one right now,

1132
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 21: so I apologize. But there is a special one that

1133
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 21: I know that we've been working on. A great let's

1134
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 21: just say, unified moment at eight o'clock Eastern where ABC, ESPN,

1135
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 21: NFL network will share and hopefully a jaw dropping moment

1136
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 21: to start the draft.

1137
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 16: That's all I can say. It's a big secret. Will happen.

1138
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 21: Really, it might actually drop tomorrow A little bit of

1139
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 21: a nugget, but we're all excited again. We're working with

1140
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 21: our partners here and he's been did a great job

1141
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 21: kind of corralling all this stuff. So that's the biggest thing.

1142
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 21: But live programming, we'll get a sixty hours and then

1143

1163
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: two and three just so everybody remembers, because sometimes people

1164
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 2: have a little disconnect between Night two and Day three

1165
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,640

Speaker 3: Thanks all right, thanks Charlie.

1178
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 2: Executive producer from NFL Network who will be running the

1179
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 2: ship on the NFL Network side of the ledger. Obviously, ESPN,

1180
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: ABC will also have some coverage, and you know the

1181
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 2: networks are all partnering as this is very much for

1182
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 2: the league and all in all hands.

1183
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 3: On Day eight pm Thursday set of DVR. That sounds

1184
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 3: like quite the deal. Listen, when the when the produce,

1185
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 3: when all the people who made it are excited about it,

1186
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 3: it's it's probably pretty special, probably because not only the

1187
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: content but also who took part in it. There's probably

1188
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 3: gonna be some legendary figures in this. In this, uh,

1189
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 3: I would probably think to its centers on guys like,

1190
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 3: you know, the Detroit guys like Barry Sanders and all

1191
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 3: those dudes and some history and all that when they

1192
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 3: were drafted how it went about it.

1193
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 2: I forgot to ask him about how Detroit might you know,

1194
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 2: the city itself might be incorporated into the production as well.

1195
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 2: We know they always do a good job of kind

1196
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 2: of embracing the city in which they're operating, so he

1197
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 2: might mentioned Detroit style pizza, but you know, Smokey Robinson

1198
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 2: rolling in at some point, you know eminem like who's motown,

1199
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 2: Who's coming in? Kid Rock?

1200
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, there's there's a lot in it. Detroit has

1201
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 3: been waiting for this for a while too. Because that's

1202
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 3: the thing too, When you get a long lead time,

1203
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 3: they can start playing and stuff and get things all

1204
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 3: lined out. Stars like that can clear their schedule to

1205
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 3: be ready and be a part of it. And let's

1206
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 3: face it, I mean, the NFL is a great vehicle

1207
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 3: for all these people who are in show business of

1208
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 3: any kind. And that's yeah, let's go.

1209
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good crossover territory for that. Let's get back

1210
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 2: to the phones.

1211
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 3: Though.

1212
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: At eighth three, five point fifty one, eight eight eight,

1213
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 2: five point fifty two, five point fifty you heard from

1214
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 2: General manager Brandon Bean earlier today had a lot to

1215
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 2: say on the wide receiver class, the Bill's current wide

1216
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 2: receiver roster. Based on his comments, who do we expect

1217
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 2: to be added to the Bill's wide receiver room, we

1218
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: go back to the phones and to Butch on the

1219
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: east side. What do you got for us?

1220
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 11: Butch, gentlemen, thanks so much for taking my call. I'm

1221
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 11: going to say this to you. I think last week

1222
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 11: I spoke to you guys, and I said the pedigree

1223
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 11: that I want for the Buffalo Bills is somebody who

1224
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 11: wants a yellow jacket. And now I'm going to stick

1225
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 11: to that about this this player on my the two

1226
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 11: players I'm about to speak about if Buffalo to twenty eight,

1227
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 11: and I know Steve in his chart and Chris you

1228
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 11: two say it would be kind of tough to get

1229
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 11: Carolina's thirty three and thirty nine. But if we take

1230
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 11: the twenty eight, maybe a four, maybe a five next

1231
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 11: year to get that thirty three and thirty nine, we

1232
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 11: still have sixty use three. That'd be like our third

1233
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 11: round pick. The reason I say that is I'm still

1234
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 11: will stick to my players that I want the Bills

1235
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 11: to get. And these two guys are Hall of famous

1236
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 11: with potential. And what I mean by that is they

1237
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 11: have the work, ethnic, they have the character, and they

1238
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 11: come from a good program. Number One is Jackson, I

1239
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 11: mean is Jackson powers Johnson. I said that before he'll

1240
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 11: be a Pobo center. And then my guy, who is

1241
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 11: going to be the best wide receiver in this draft.

1242
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 11: I don't care about the divas that's up there, as

1243
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 11: playing this guy as a champion. He's a winner. Then

1244
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 11: is Loud. And I'm letting you know even though like

1245
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 11: you guys said a five to eleven, he might struggle

1246
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 11: on and tell you something that Shuttle drewl he run.

1247
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 11: That kid can get off the line of scrimmage and

1248
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 11: he can he can leave the defensive back of the

1249
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 11: dirt and make a cut and like like, just like Brandon,

1250
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 11: Brandon being stated, he has everything that Brandon being actual.

1251
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 11: He has the work ethic, he has the yak yards,

1252
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 11: he's selfless, he's a tough kid. And at the same time,

1253
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 11: with Josh Allen, I promise you this guy will be

1254
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 11: the best player, best wide receiver in the whole draft

1255
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 11: because he's a champion. The lights is not big for

1256
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 11: his kid. He played at George. He played in the

1257
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 11: National Championship games I think three times. So the stage,

1258
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 11: the lights is not big. Some of these guys you

1259
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 11: can get and bring in here, and these guys could

1260
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 11: be divas and they could twitter, and they could be

1261
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 11: all this and that by my mouth, But when it comes,

1262
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 11: when it comes between those lines, I'm gonna tell you this,

1263
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 11: and I'm gonna use Steve Taska for a perfect example.

1264
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 11: I remember Steve, first guy here. He plays special teams.

1265
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 11: He's running just smashing people. And then everybody kept said,

1266
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 11: why do they got him as a wide receiver when

1267
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 11: he plays special thief. And then all of a sudden,

1268
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 11: Steve had opportunity play wide receiving. People didn't think you

1269
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 11: look at me, said he's too little. Steve was killing

1270
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 11: people and he helped us get to the super Bowl

1271
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 11: because no one could stop him with his with his

1272
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 11: his shuttle, his shuttle run. Steve knew how to wiggle.

1273
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 11: That's how he knew how to wiggle the special team

1274
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 11: to get on the smash. Keep. But I'm not I'm

1275
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 11: not blowing him up. I'm just I'm just being honest,

1276
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. So, and I appreciate this call.

1277
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 11: I mean afficially saying my call. I just want to

1278
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 11: say the last thing. What people don't understand is what

1279
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 11: Brandon Bean said about what we already have about now

1280
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 11: wide receiver room. He knows he has a Justice short.

1281
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 11: He knows he have a Terrell Shave with six six

1282
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 11: sixty four. He knows he has a Brian Thompson at

1283
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 11: sixty three along with these other guys. So because the kid,

1284
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 11: I'm telling you, if you get this kid right now,

1285
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 11: he's the perfect fit for what we want to do.

1286
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 11: I love you, guys, I love MSGWG, and I love

1287
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 11: the fans, and I love you too, guys man forever,

1288
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 11: and thanks so much to take him on call.

1289
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 2: But look, I'll be the first to tell you if

1290
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 2: the Bills draft Lad McConkie. I am not going to

1291
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 2: be disappointed at all. I like him as a receiver,

1292
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 2: I really do, and I think he'll have a productive

1293
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 2: NFL career. I just think they have a guy that's

1294
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 2: very similar to him in Khalil Shakir. Now that's not

1295
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 2: to say you couldn't find a place to put him

1296
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 2: on the field.

1297
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that they may have more faith in

1298
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 3: him as a deep threat and a guy that can

1299
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 3: play outside, on the outside the numbers or on the

1300
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 3: numbers in the pros. They may believe he can do that,

1301
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 3: and he has. He is smart enough and he proved

1302
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 3: it to Georgia to play different spots in the offense.

1303
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 3: They moved him around a little bit, no question. He

1304
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 3: was in the slot, he was inside, outside, and he

1305
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 3: caught the ball. So he's got a lot of what

1306
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 3: they like. And maybe you're right, but the Bills may

1307
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 3: believe that Shorter or Shavers or mac hollands or what

1308
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 3: have you can be the outside guy and they can

1309
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,959
Speaker 3: plug mcconky in. I'm just anxious. I don't think Khalishak's

1310
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 3: gonna sit down, no, So I want to know what

1311
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: their offense is gonna look like with these two guys

1312
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 3: on the field, and it's not.

1313
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 2: And look, I'll be the first to tell you Joe

1314
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 2: Brady has basically told the scouting department you know, I

1315
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 2: don't have a type that I need, Like I don't

1316
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 2: need a guy with a B and C for his trades.

1317
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 2: I just need football players. Get me good football players,

1318
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 2: and I'll make it work. That's music to the years

1319
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: of scouts. But in a receiver class shock full of

1320
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 2: different kinds of talent, maybe this is a year where

1321
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 2: you could be a little picky and try to get

1322
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 2: an ideal fit for what you feel is still missing

1323
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 2: from your receiving court. Now that doesn't mean if you

1324
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 2: draft Lad McConkie you can't win a lot of football games.

1325
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 2: Because the guy's proven you can win a lot with him.

1326
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 2: And look again, I'll say it again, I love Ladd mccakey.

1327
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: I watched more Georgia football than any other college team

1328
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 2: in the country. I was at the Old Miss game

1329
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 2: in November when the Bills were playing on Monday night.

1330
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 2: I got down there for that game on a Saturday night,

1331
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, because my son goes to school there. I

1332
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 2: watch more Georgia than any other college football team. I

1333
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 2: love lad mccakeey. I also loved me some ad Mitchell,

1334
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 2: who also played at Georgia and had a touchdown in

1335
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 2: every single college football playoff game.

1336
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 3: Of his career and had which there were multiple and.

1337
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 2: Had a touchdown for every five receptions for Texas last season,

1338
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 2: so he had eleven touchdowns.

1339
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, You're right, McConkie might be the guy.

1340
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 3: If he is, I think because we don't know what

1341
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 3: the bills and I've said it a ton during this process,

1342
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 3: we don't know what they think about not only the

1343
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 3: guys that are out of the prospects, we don't know

1344
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 3: what they think about each of these individual guys, ad Mitchell,

1345
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 3: Thomas Junior, all these Yeah, we don't know what and

1346
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 3: we don't even know now obviously, we don't even know

1347
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 3: what they think about their own guys, Curtis Samuel all.

1348
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 3: We figured we got an idea what they think about

1349
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 3: Kinkaid and Shakir Okay, maybe Terrell Shavers and Justin Shorter. Okay.

1350
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 3: They might probably have a good handle on those guys,

1351
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 3: and maybe they know things about their offense and what

1352
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 3: it's gonna look like so they can go out and

1353
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 3: get a Lad McConkie. We may think he's a little

1354
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 3: bit redundant, but they may not share that. So yes,

1355
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 3: if they get McConkie, I'll be excited too, because I

1356
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 3: think the kid can play. I think he can really play.

1357
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 3: Along with these other guys that we've been talking about,

1358
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna get a good guy if even if they

1359
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 3: stay put at twenty eight, even if they trade down

1360
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 3: to like thirty three thirty five, they're gonna get a

1361
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 3: really good player. So the only question for Brownie and

1362
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 3: I really and for a lot of Bills fans is

1363
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 3: which got Which of these wide receivers isn't gonna be

1364
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 3: because we all I believe that's who it's gonna be, right,

1365
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 3: I mean.

1366
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if people have given much thought to this,

1367
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 2: but Steve makes a very good point. We don't know

1368
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 2: how any of these guys are gonna fit because the

1369
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 2: only guy in the receiver room who caught a pass

1370
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 2: from Josh Allen last season is Khalil Shakir. I mean,

1371
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 2: Concaid's in the tight end room. Shakira is the only

1372
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 2: receiver left on the roster who caught a pass from

1373
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 2: Josh Allen last year.

1374
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 3: Let's think about that. That's not nothing.

1375
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 2: So it really does create a bit of a jumble there,

1376
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 2: where as much as we pay attention, until we see

1377
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: it on the field this spring, we don't know how

1378
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 2: the pecking order is gonna work or what the roles

1379
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 2: are going to be, and a lot of those are

1380
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 2: probably gonna have to be earned knowingly the way Sean

1381
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: McDermott operates, so that it's it's gonna be fascinating not

1382
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 2: only to see what they add next week, but how

1383
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,839
Speaker 2: it's all gonna look on the field.

1384
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, how it's gonna come together. But you do want

1385
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 3: you do, even from the outside and from casual you know,

1386
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 3: like me, you know, I'm a fan of about the

1387
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 3: level of a soccer mom. Right, So even you want

1388
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 3: to be able to sit back and have most of

1389
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 3: the time on a great team, you're even casual fans

1390
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 3: can look at and say, wow, well they got this

1391
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 3: guy that can go deep, and that guy that can

1392
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 3: catch underneath, and this guy that makes contested catches, and

1393
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 3: this guy that gets open, this guy that catches crossing routes,

1394
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 3: this guy that catches all that stuff you want to

1395
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 3: because your team has to figure out different ways to

1396
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 3: win football games because they're gonna be playing against different

1397
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 3: teams every week, and every week a team's gonna force

1398
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 3: them to beat them left handed, so to speak. We're

1399
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 3: not gonna we're gonna take away what you do best.

1400
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 3: So we're gonna force you to beat us with this.

1401
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 3: And if you do a lot of stuff really well, well,

1402
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 3: now you can see what happens the defense like, well,

1403
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 3: we can't, let's forget it. We're done. So when you

1404
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 3: sit back and look at it and you start seeing

1405
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys doing the same thing on an

1406
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 3: offense or at least see us are per se, is

1407
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,520
Speaker 3: that they do the same thing like Shakir and mconkie,

1408
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 3: it starts to throw a wrench into that thought process.

1409
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 3: That's what we're having trouble getting our mind around today.

1410
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark and West Seneca here before the break.

1411
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

1412
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 7: Mark?

1413
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, real quick, I have a question. Actually, my

1414
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 18: question is for you guys, what do you think being

1415
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 18: would be more inclined to do? And then my question

1416
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 18: is what would you guys do Brownie and Steve here

1417
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 18: with this scenario. If I'm not expecting Thomas to be

1418
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 18: there at eighteen to twenty, okay, but I think there's

1419
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 18: a good possibility Mitchell may be there.

1420
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 9: Okay.

1421
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 18: Do you think Brandon's more inclined to move up the

1422
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 18: board and grab that kid around there, depending on what

1423
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 18: assex he would have to do, or do you think

1424
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 18: he's more inclined to stay back at twenty eight and

1425
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 18: maybe pick mcconauckie's a lot is the name that I've

1426
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 18: been thinking of at twenty eight. Do you think that's

1427
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 18: overdrafting him there a little bit? And I know there's

1428
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 18: been a lot of talk about him now. He's very

1429
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 18: similar to Shakir and Samuel and how that might be

1430
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 18: a little bit of a negative. I look at that

1431
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 18: as a positive. The kids a separator. To me, separators

1432
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 18: are always a little bit more important than guys who

1433
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 18: can just run deep. And to have three guys and Samuel,

1434
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 18: Shakir and mcakey, theoretically you got three guys there that

1435
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 18: you can line up anywhere in the offense, you can

1436
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 18: interchange and move them around. That's versatility that I think

1437
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 18: puts the defense on their heels a little bit. And

1438
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 18: you can always pick up a guy who can run

1439
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 18: fast and stretch the field. We may have that guy

1440
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 18: in shorter right now. So I'm just very curious as

1441
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 18: to what you think being would be more inclined to do.

1442
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 18: And then if you guys are pulling the trigger's Steve

1443
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 18: and Chris, what would you do?

1444
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 3: Yaks?

1445
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 9: Guys.

1446
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 2: I think it comes down to two factors, Mark, and

1447
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 2: I'll be quick so Steve can chime in before we

1448
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 2: go to break here. The two factors are as far

1449
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 2: as Bean's concerned, what's his history? And he reiterated it

1450
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 2: again today. He sleeps better at night on Thursday night

1451
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 2: after round one if he goes and gets his guy

1452
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: rather than missing out on him. And that's why he

1453
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 2: has felt prompted to move up a couple of spots,

1454
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 2: three or four spots, whatever the case might be. You know,

1455
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 2: he leaped frogs Dallas last year. He jumps up two

1456
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 2: spots to get Kyrie Elam the year before, so that's

1457
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 2: his history. He has also sat and stood pat He

1458
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 2: did that on the Greg Russau draft at pick thirty.

1459
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 2: I think it's dependent upon so his history says he's

1460
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 2: gonna jump, but is this year different because the receiver

1461
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 2: class is so deep? So I think it's gonna be

1462
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 2: predicated on, Yeah, that guy's really good up there, and

1463
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: we like him. Ad Nai Mitchell still on the board,

1464
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 2: But how close is the next guy to him? Is

1465
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: he three spots away on their board? Because if he is,

1466
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 2: that means they'd be pretty happy with that guy too.

1467
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 2: So maybe he just sits there and says, I'm gonna

1468
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 2: stay at twenty eight. I think those are the two

1469
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 2: biggest factors. I like ad Mitchell more than Maconkie enough

1470
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 2: where I could see myself trying to at least put

1471
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,719
Speaker 2: a package together to talk to somebody.

1472
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 3: It's my thought that the Bills will probably move up

1473
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,560
Speaker 3: to some place like number twenty three where Minnesota is.

1474
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 3: Minnesota's got number eleven and they've gotten number twenty three. Now,

1475
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 3: if Minnesota doesn't package those two and pop up to

1476
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 3: get one of the quarterbacks, like, there's a lot of

1477
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 3: speculation that they could then depending on who that is.

1478
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 3: If that's Arizona at twenty three, if they go jump

1479
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 3: up to number four to get Arizona, or if they

1480
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 3: make a deal with New England to go up and

1481
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 3: get the guy and they're at number three and it's

1482
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 3: New England where you're not going to move in New England.

1483
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 3: It's not going to trade with Buffalo at the number

1484
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 3: twenty three spot to give Buffalo a weapon to use

1485
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 3: against them. But if it's Arizona, they may You may

1486
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 3: be able to get Arizona to trade down twice if

1487
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 3: the picks are right, to go from twenty eight up

1488
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 3: to twenty three where Minnesota is. Maybe Filly old twenty

1489
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 3: two is.

1490
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 2: Roseman doesn't mind moving around, right, So.

1491
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 3: That's my thought. I don't think the Bills will pop

1492
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 3: back drop back. I think they may go up four

1493
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 3: or five spots at the most, maybe six to Philly

1494
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 3: to where right behind Miami is. So that's my thought,

1495
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 3: and I think that's what I would do if I

1496
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 3: was Brandon, if his guy was still there, whether it

1497
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 3: was Ady Mitchell or Brian Thomas Junior or you know,

1498
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 3: you pick, make your pick. Brian Thomas Junior is not

1499
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 3: going to be there, but Ad might Lad McConkie will

1500
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 3: be there, and you can wait on maybe on those

1501
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 3: two guys, even back at twenty eight. So I think

1502
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 3: if if he gets antsy, I think it's the most

1503
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 3: likely scenario is that he moves up a handful of

1504
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 3: spots or thereabouts to grab the guy once.

1505
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. When we come back, we're

1506
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 2: going to share some head coach Sean McDermott's comments that

1507
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: he he made when he addressed the media a little

1508
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 2: bit earlier today. Not only did he address the aftermath

1509
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 2: of the Digs trade, but where they go moving forward.

1510
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 2: You want to hear that when we come back here

1511
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, presented by a lot of health

1512
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1513
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. We mentioned that head

1514
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: coach Sean McDermott addressed the media shortly before we came

1515
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 2: on the air. Wanted to play some of his comments

1516
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 2: for you, including his comments on the aftermath of the

1517
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 2: Digs trade and where the team goes from here. Here

1518
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 2: is Buffalo's head coach.

1519
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it's hard right. Stuff's a great player,

1520
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 14: really enjoyed our time together, won a lot of games,

1521
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 14: and he was a huge factor in winning those games.

1522
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 14: I think the you know, we'll miss him. You never

1523
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 14: replace a player like Steph Diggs and we wish him well.

1524
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 14: Steph Hanni's family. So hard to move on from a

1525
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 14: player like that. And now we go back to.

1526
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 3: You know, looking at our.

1527
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 14: Roster and and excited for the opportunity that we have

1528
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 14: in that room for guys to step up.

1529
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 7: Have you had conversations with josh regarding the move and

1530
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 7: for those conversations, what's done the tenor of those conversations.

1531
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean you always have conversations, sometimes multiple conversations,

1532
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:37,480
Speaker 14: and you communicate again multiple times, and and you collaborate.

1533
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 14: This is a this was a big decision, so one

1534
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 14: we didn't take lightly. And I'll leave Joshua's reaction. I

1535
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 14: know josh is gonna speak I believe after me somewhere here.

1536
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 14: So but again, just trying to do what's best for

1537
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 14: the team, both in the near term and the long term.

1538
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,799
Speaker 22: Said when happened that you know, maybe you're not better today,

1539
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 22: but this was a move for the future. And from

1540
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 22: a coach's perspective, going into these meetings and talking to

1541
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 22: your team for the first time, what's your message to them?

1542
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 22: Obviously was very well.

1543
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Liked in the opera.

1544
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 14: Well, again that you know wasn't really around the team

1545
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 14: when it's all unfolded. But really the messages for us

1546
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 14: right now is belief in who we are, Everything starts

1547
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 14: with belief, right and anything you do in mindset looking

1548
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 14: at the opportunity that's in front of us this season,

1549
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 14: and then just being present and our focus being on

1550
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 14: where we are today and what we have to do

1551
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 14: to get ourselves ready to play. And if you short

1552
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 14: change that process or shut shortcut the process, you're going

1553
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 14: to make a big mistake. So those are the things

1554
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 14: we can control right now. It's just being present, putting

1555
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 14: in the work, and we're doing a lot right now

1556
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:59,679
Speaker 14: just in terms of educating our team, building our culture,

1557
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 14: because you've got to do that every day, right and

1558
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 14: every year it's a year to your league, and so

1559
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 14: trying to build that respect, the love that our guys

1560
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 14: need to have for one another, and what comes out

1561
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 14: of that is that trust that we're gonna need going

1562
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 14: through the journey of a season. And that's important. So

1563
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 14: that's really the true substance of what leads to success.

1564
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 14: That's the foundation, right, So that's really where our focus.

1565
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 8: Is right now.

1566
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 17: How do you this is a major reset, the first

1567
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 17: big one in your time here given the players.

1568
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 23: Aside from stuff that you've lost, and remind you of

1569
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 23: thefens of secondary and mas morse how do you treat

1570
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 23: this season in the trajectory of this team given what

1571
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 23: the losses were.

1572
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 14: Well, again, you never replace a player or person like

1573
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 14: Steph and there were others too. Is I know there's

1574
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 14: a long line here of veteran players in particular, some

1575
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 14: of who were whom were captains and players that we

1576
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 14: and people that we that we leaned on for a

1577
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 14: number of years and they added so much to our culture,

1578
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 14: our leadership, and so number.

1579
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 3: One, we wish them well.

1580
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 14: Number two is that's the reality sometimes of the NFL

1581
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 14: and balancing a salary cap, and those are tough decisions.

1582
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 14: So again, you never replace people like that, players like that.

1583
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 14: No two players or people are the same. But again

1584
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 14: it's an opportunity for people to to take on new roles,

1585
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 14: to stretch themselves a little bit, to hold people accountable,

1586
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 14: you know, for somebody else. And I think a big

1587
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 14: piece of this is you don't just hire leaders or

1588
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 14: bring in leaders. You're developing leaders the whole time, you know,

1589
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 14: kind of underneath the water. And that's part of what

1590
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,799
Speaker 14: we work on as a staff of developed up being leaders.

1591
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 14: And quite honestly, I think we need more of those

1592
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 14: in society as it is right. So I think a

1593
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 14: lot of us.

1594
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 4: Would agree with that.

1595
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,560
Speaker 14: But that's that's a big piece of what we do

1596
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 14: in the off season, in particular our player development team, myself,

1597
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 14: our coaching staff is not just developing the player, but

1598
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 14: developing the person. And because those leaders aren't always going

1599
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 14: to be here and so they're going to graduate at

1600
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 14: some point like they have in some cases, and you

1601
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,520
Speaker 14: need people who are ready to step in and step.

1602
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 15: Up what you talk about, you know, you know you

1603
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 15: build this as saying success from the ground up, and again,

1604
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 15: how challenging can it be or what challenges have you

1605
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 15: already faced? You know without those core pieces in your learn.

1606
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 14: Well, we're just getting started, right. So again, I think

1607
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 14: our focus it has been where it needs to be, Mookie,

1608
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 14: and that is on just starting with what's right in

1609
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 14: front of us and our off season program. I give

1610
01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 14: a lot of credit to our strength and conditioning coaches,

1611
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 14: our medical staff, our sports science staff led by Joe

1612
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 14: Collins and Eric Ciano and Nate Breski, respectively. They spend

1613
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 14: a lot of time this offseason doing research, looking for

1614
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 14: looking to innovate in different ways that we haven't maybe before,

1615
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 14: not changing our core of what we've done and been

1616
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 14: about in terms of what we do in the.

1617
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 4: Off season, but.

1618
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 14: Hey, keeping things fresh, right, what new is out there

1619
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 14: testing our process in those areas as well, And so

1620
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 14: I've been very pleased with the amount of work that's

1621
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 14: been put in by those staff members so that when

1622
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 14: the players came back, there's some new things that they

1623
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 14: can see and be a part of and that will

1624
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 14: hopefully then be put into place to make them as

1625
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 14: good as they can possibly be.

1626
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 2: Sean, where have you landed on who's calls the defensive

1627
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 2: plays this year?

1628
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 14: Yeah, so it'll be it'll be a while. It's all

1629
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 14: my radar, but you can ask me about it. Probably

1630
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 14: the best thing to do is ask me about it

1631
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,600
Speaker 14: in training camp, because I'm not going to make a

1632
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 14: decision before then. There's just more important thing. It is important,

1633
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 14: but there's just more important things right now in front

1634
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 14: of us, with with the team being here and the

1635
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 14: and then the draft next week, and full confidence in Bobby.

1636
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 14: He's off to a great start. He's extremely organized type

1637
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 14: a personality. As you guys know Bobby, and the players

1638
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:31,879
Speaker 14: know Bobby and will never lack for energy in that department.

1639
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 16: But now you have a lot of new assistants.

1640
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 21: When when you guys you've got them together for the

1641
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:37,679
Speaker 21: first time you saw a season, what kind of tone

1642
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 21: did you set in terms of this is how you

1643
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 21: want these done and setting that culture.

1644
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, I've been very impressed Mark with that. And and

1645
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 14: when you look at when you look at the way

1646
01:24:51,080 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 14: people collaborate, right, unselfish, respect full, team centered. The staff

1647
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 14: is off to a great start. The new the new

1648
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 14: members of the staff have been very good additions. They

1649
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 14: keep their heads down, they work, they collaborate. It's been

1650
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 14: very impressive to this point. And that and that collaboration is.

1651
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 4: Is good to see.

1652
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 14: And everyone's got a role, right and they all have

1653
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 14: been anchoring their role, and the coordinators have been leading.

1654
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 14: And I think that's uh, that's shoes to this point.

1655
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 2: All right, that's head coach Sean McDermott with some of

1656
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 2: his comments from today. We do have to take a

1657
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 2: break here, but when we come back, we'll see if

1658
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 2: we can squeeze in a phone call and maybe some

1659
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 2: final thoughts on the tweetsheet. Next here on One Bill's Live,

1660
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 2: presented by col Out of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1661
01:25:53,560 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 2: H M back here. I want Bill's Live one segment

1662
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,839
Speaker 2: to go here on a Thursday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1663
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 2: with you and we go to the phones and we're

1664
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 2: gonna squeeze in Stan in Buffalo. You got about a minute, Stan,

1665
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 2: What do you got.

1666
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 12: Hey, I'll go really quick. Guys, I appreciate least taking this.

1667
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,560
Speaker 12: I like two guys in the first round. If we

1668
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 12: can't get one of these two guys by moving up

1669
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 12: the board, that would be Brian Thomas or Neighbor, then

1670
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 12: I think we go back into the second round. Top

1671
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 12: of the second round, get a different type of guy,

1672
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 12: maybe an Xavier Worthy. You can become another Smoke Brown

1673
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 12: Keep our second and I'll call back another time on

1674
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,600
Speaker 12: what your thoughts are, Brownie. As far as what it

1675
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 12: would cost us to get up to get a neighbor

1676
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 12: or a Thomas, have a good one, guys.

1677
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, to get neighbors, it's going to cost significantly

1678
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 2: more than it will be to maybe move up and

1679
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 2: at Thomas right, And I don't know if Brandon Bean

1680
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 2: wants to part with that amount of draft capital to

1681
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 2: do it, because you've got to get into the top

1682
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 2: probably seven picks, six picks to have a shot at

1683
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 2: they get to.

1684
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:12,519
Speaker 3: Top ten and if you if you traded, if you traded, yeah,

1685
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 3: you can't even do it if you trade this twenty

1686
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 3: eight and to sixty. Oh no, that's not and you

1687
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 3: certainly wouldn't and you certainly wouldn't trade. You could trade

1688
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 3: maybe this year's one, next year's one, and next year's

1689
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 3: two from Minnesota. You get have you get to get neighbors,

1690
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 3: to get neighbors, Yeah, you're talking about two to ones

1691
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 3: and a two.

1692
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 2: Maybe get up to sixteen seventeen. You could use your

1693
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:37,800
Speaker 2: two this year. You're one this year and your two

1694
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 2: next year, and you can get up to sixteen seventeen

1695
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 2: if Thomas is still sitting there on the board, but

1696
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:45,639
Speaker 2: likelihood not likely.

1697
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would take this year's, this year's one, and

1698
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 3: next year's two two for sure, and it would be

1699
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 3: Minnesota's two, which is going to be like at thirty eight. Yeah,

1700
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 3: so that's it's a lot of money. Tough to do money,

1701
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 3: so a lot of it's a lot of capital. Yeah,

1702
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 3: do we want to do it? Maybe?

1703
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. Got to see how the board falls.

1704
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,680
Speaker 2: A lot to happen in front of them, for sure. Uh,
