00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the beginning of our coverage all

3
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: week long here on One Bill's Live at the NFL

4
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: Combine in Indianapolis. Chris Brown with Maddy glab here at

5
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: the Convention Center in downtown Indie where things are just

6
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: getting constructed for the better part of this week. As

7
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: we are here already, because after we are off the

8
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: today we are going to be speaking with head coach

9
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott in an exclusive interview with Maddie and myself

10
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: which will air on tomorrow show. So excited to catch

11
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: up with coach, who is busy right now in NFL

12
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: Competition Committee meetings. So he's already put to work here

13
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: he gets named to the committee, he's already hard at

14
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: work here.

15
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

16
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: Being part of the committee means meetings, meetings and more

17
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 4: meetings during the NFL Scouting Combine here in India, and

18
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: they're getting ready for the upcoming league meetings where they're

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 4: going to present a lot of these things to the owners.

20
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, potential rule changes. It looks like the kickoff is

21
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: going to be under the microscope. NFL Networks Judy Batista

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: who I believe is embedded in the NFL Competition Committee meetings,

23
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: is reporting from there and started yesterday on those. Because

24
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: there were meetings yesterday, there are meetings again today, and

25
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: it looks like the kickoff is going to be under

26
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: tremendous review because the league is not happy that the

27
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: number of kickoff returns has declined in sharp measure a

28
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: because balls are flying through the back of the end zone.

29
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: With the quality of the kickers in the league these

30
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: days number one and number two. With the addition of

31
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: the fair catch last year, most teams, even if they

32
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: field the kick, are signaling for a fair catch knowing

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't have to do anything, and I get it

34
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: at the twenty five. So I think they're going to

35
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: take a look at that again. And all indications that

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: we've heard Maddie is that they're going to take a long,

37
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: hard look at the XFL style of kick return where

38
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: you have the coverage team and the return team ten

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: yards apart, the returners behind that and the people covering

40
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: the kick standing at their opponent's thirty yard line cannot

41
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: release until the kick returner plays the ball.

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: It's like a tag up in baseball. Yeah, it's a little.

43
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: Bit safer of a way to do things if they

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: do elect to do something like that, And it really

45
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: has to do with how the players are lined up.

46
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: It's not like you're running down the field coming at

47
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 4: each other, gaining all of this speed as you're running

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: ten yards, twenty yards, thirty yard, you're really just a

49
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: few yards away from each other.

50
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: So we look forward to that conversation and see what

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: kind of light coach McDermott can share on that. We

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: don't know what he's permitted to say or not say

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: in terms of those meetings, but I think Kickoff is

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: going to be a big part of those. We also

55
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: have plenty of guests all week long, so you're gonna

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: want to stay tuned to us Monday through Friday. We're

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: gonna have NFL GMS in addition to Brandon Bean on

58
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 2: the show, number of league analysts and people who cover

59
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: this league wall to wall on the show all week long.

60
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: So really excited to bring all that to you through

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: the course of the week. But we also have NFL

62
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: news to no one's surprise, and the franchise tag has

63
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: been used.

64
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: We are off and running.

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Bengals have tagged wide receiver t Higgins with

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: the franchise tag, so the dynamic receiver looks like he'll

67
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: be spending at least one more year in Cincinnati. There

68
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: was a quote from head coach Zach Taylor in a

69
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Bengals team statement that read, Tea has done an outstanding

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: job for since we drafted him in twenty twenty. I'm

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: glad that he'll continue to be a big part of

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: our offense and our team. I think they want to

73
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: try to run it back one more time, hoping Joe

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Burrow can stay healthy and see how far they can

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: get Maddy.

76
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you have two dynamic wide receivers on that team.

77
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: It's not likely that you get two guys like t

78
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 4: Higgins and Jamar Chase on a roster with a quarterback

79
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 4: like Joe Burrow. So why not see what you can

80
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: do with one more year with all of those three

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: under the same roof in Cincinnati, and hopefully they get

82
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 4: a healthy Joe Burrow. I know that's a team that

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: the Chiefs send the Bills and other AFC contenders the

84
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: Ravens have to worry about when Joe Burrow has been healthy.

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: Didn't work out for the team this past year. But

86
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: the tag number for wide receivers, that number is getting

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: up there, Chris.

88
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually just took a look at that before

89
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: we came on the air. It's twenty one point eight million. Yeah.

90
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: But that's part of the reason why I I think

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: a team like the Bills, who already has a receiver

92
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: making over twenty million dollars on their roster, will have

93
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: to look to the draft to refurbish their ranks, and

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: why the price is likely to be too steep to

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: hang on to a player like Gabe Davis who's gonna

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: hit the free agent market. The other thing we should

97
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: mention here too is I think this tagging of T.

98
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: Higgins should be looked upon by Bills fans as good

99
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: news in terms of the teams that sit in front

100
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: of Buffalo in the first round of the NFL Draft.

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: The Bengals, as we know, have the seventh I think

102
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: it's the seventeenth pick in the first round, and if

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: they were not going to bring back T. Higgins, I

104
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: think there's a good chance you could at least surmise

105
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: that receiver would be a consideration for them. But now

106
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: investing twenty one point eight in T. Higgins, sure they

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: might draft a receiver, but I don't know if that

108
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: comes with the seventeenth pick. I think they need help

109
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: up front at the tackle position. Jonah Williams, I believe,

110
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: is a free agent and is probably not going to

111
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: be back there starting right tackle, and Orlando Brown they're

112
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: starting left tackle.

113
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: Wasn't any great shakes this year.

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: He certainly didn't live up to the billing of the

115
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: year that he played in Kansas City the year prior.

116
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: So I would anticipate they get some offensive line help

117
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: with pick eighteen is what they have, and not take

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: a receiver.

119
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: That's good.

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: That's one lass team in front of the Bills taking

121
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: a wide receiver in round one, at least as I

122
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: see it, with this move to franchise T Higgins.

123
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, an offensive tackle. At that point in the draft

124
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 4: where they're drafting at number eighteen, there's going to be

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 4: some good depth for that position group. So if you

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: want to go after an offensive lineman, that may be

127
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 4: your spot to do so in the first round, knowing

128
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: that you just spent a boat load on tagging T Higgins.

129
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the value should be good there at that

130
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: point in the first round for the offensive tackle position.

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: Other news around the NFL, and incidentally, it's brought to

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: you by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the

133
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Maybe you saw this on your Twitter or

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: x scroll, but Kirk Cousins putting some video out of

135
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: himself taking dropbacks on an indoor.

136
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: Tennis court, of all places.

137
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: I thought that surface was interesting, but I guess in

138
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: Minnesota it's hard to come by stable services this time

139
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: of year, in the middle of winter. But Kirk Cousins,

140
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: who as we know, is recovering from a torn achilles

141
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: that he suffered last season about midway through the season,

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: put a video of him taking dropbacks I'll be at

143
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: at about half speed at best, and throwing the football

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: to kind of indicate what kind.

145
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: Of progress he is making. He's no dummy.

146
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: He knows he's a free agent, so I think he's

147
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: trying to show, you know, League GMS, hey look at me.

148
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: I'm on the road to recovery. I'm making good progress.

149
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: If you need a quarterback, there's a good chance I'm

150
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: gonna be ready at the start of the regular season.

151
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: So invest in me. That's to me what that video is.

152
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 4: So speaking of investing in me, you wonder if older

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: guys like this. And I know the quarterback position is

154
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: a different type position and it commands a lot more money,

155
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: but you wonder if a quarterback like Kirk Cousins could

156
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: demand some extra cash knowing that the numbers way bigger

157
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 4: than people expected this season.

158
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think just about every agent is going to

159
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: be pushing for more money, knowing the cap went up

160
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: thirteen more million dollars than anticipated, an unprecedented thirty million

161
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: dollars in increase. So just about everybody's going to have

162
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: their hand out saying, hey, you've got more to spend,

163
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: spend it with my guy.

164
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: You want him that badly, show me the money.

165
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: And for that matter, Maddy players that maybe some teams

166
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: looking to get under the cap may have gone to

167
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: and said, hey, can you take a pay cut? They

168
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: might be like, well, hold on a second, you got

169
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: thirteen more million in room, why do you need me

170
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: to take a cut, So they might be a little

171
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: bit more resistant. It's gonna be very interesting to see.

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: We'll have that conversation with Brandon Bean later this week.

173
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: We're scheduled to have him on Tuesday Show. Meanwhile, another quarterback,

174
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, who has been the subject of speculative trade

175
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: rumors out there, said he'd prefer to stay in Denver.

176
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: He also said he's got more fire than ever to

177
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: win football games. He wants to win two more Super

178
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Bowls before we tires, YadA, YadA, YadA.

179
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: He also said he wants to play under center more.

180
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: I think he knows he's his best quarterback when he

181
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: plays the drop back play action game, and he is

182
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: one of the most accurate deep ball throwers. The question is,

183
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: is that what Sean Payton wants in his quarterback in Denver.

184
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that all shakes out.

185
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: And just really what you heard about both sides at

186
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 4: the end of the season, it seemed like, Okay, there's

187
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: no way these two are going to be together next season,

188
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 4: just knowing what Sean Payton may want, his comments about

189
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: that quarterback position, and then Russell Wilson too, and kind

190
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: of what he was told inside the building during his

191
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: first seasons there.

192
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: The other interesting thing is it was a foregone conclusion that,

193
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: based on how his contract was structured, there was probably

194
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: going to be a parting of ways there this offseason.

195
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: But now with the increased salary cap, ceiling. Can they

196
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: find a way to rework that deal and keep him there?

197
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: Sean Payton scheduled to address the media tomorrow right at eleven.

198
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: I think tomorrow eleven that'll be.

199
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: A well attended interview for sure, because these are going

200
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: to be some questions he's going to be getting asked

201
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,119
Speaker 2: about Russell Wilson and his future with the Broncos organization.

202
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks, we also have NFL Combine news concerning

203
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback and wide receiver prospects here in Indianapolis. First,

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks USC quarterback Caleb Williams and LSU quarterback Jaden Daniels,

205
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: who could very well go one to two in the

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: draft this spring, are not going to be throwing here

207
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: in Indy later this week. They are both going to

208
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: wait until their respective pro days. USC's pro day is

209
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: coming up March twentieth. LSU's pro day is a week

210
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: later March twenty seventh. And it's not like this isn't

211
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: something we haven't seen before, Maddie, But I know, being

212
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: two of the top talents in the draft that the

213
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: position people were hoping they could see them throw.

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's something that you want to see

215
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: if you're here at the Combine, if you're a team

216
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: covering the Combine, if your scouts that are going to

217
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: be at the combine, coaching staff, it's stuff that you

218
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: want to see from, especially if you're interested in the

219
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 4: quarterback position here. But it's something that we hear and

220
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: see more often year after year, is guys electing to

221
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: not do anything at the Combine aside for medicals, and

222
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: then instead decide to throw or participate within their school's

223
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: pro day. I don't know if it's you know, hey,

224
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 4: I feel more comfortable here, I want to wait a

225
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: little bit longer. There's several reasons why these prospects decide

226
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 4: to elect to you know what, I'm not going to

227
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: participate in the scouting Combine in Indy. I'm just gonna

228
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: wait for my pro day.

229
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: I know, for quarterbacks in particular, it is a more

230
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: controlled environment because they can control what throws am I doing?

231
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: You know, they can work with whoever's scripting that for them,

232
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: whether they have a quarterback guru or a mechanics coach, whatever,

233
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: and they can literally script the pro day practice to

234
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 2: their liking. They're not at the behest of the coaches

235
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: on the field here at the combines, saying, Okay, we're

236
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: throwing corner routes here for the next ten rounds. You know, Okay,

237
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 2: we're throwing crossers whatever. They get to control the narrative there,

238
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: and I think that's part of the appeal for players

239
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: to wait until they're Pro day. At the quarterback position,

240
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior, widely considered the top receiver in this

241
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: year's class, isn't going to do any testing this week.

242
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: He's likely to be a top five pick. What's also

243
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: interesting is he's entering the pre draft process without an agent.

244
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: He is the first we know.

245
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: Remember Lamar Jackson famously came in here without an agent.

246
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: Harrison will not either. And it's an interesting approach by

247
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior.

248
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: Here, Maddie, he is choosing.

249
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: Not to work out here because he's not doing the

250
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: type of training that so many of these prospects go

251
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: through to prepare for the Combine. As he puts it,

252
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 2: he is preparing for the NFL season in the fall,

253
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: and it is a different kind of training. And I

254
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: think this is kind of a I kind of like

255
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: this approach a little bit, because at the end of

256
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: the day, it's about how well you play football. Yes,

257
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: testing is a part of it, and people put a

258
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: lot of investment into this because agents send these prospects

259
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: to training facilities to work with you know, professional strength

260
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: and conditioning coaches and fitness coaches and mechanics coaches and

261
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. You know, faster get off, to

262
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: take a tenth of a second off your forty time

263
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: and all of that. He's like, the heck with that,

264
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: I just want to play football. And I'm kind of reminded,

265
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: you know, Maddy. We talk about the rookie wall all

266
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: the time and how players come week ten to eleven

267
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: in their rookie season.

268
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 3: They're out of gas.

269
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: Why because they finished their football college football season in

270
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: like early January. Then they begin training for the next

271
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: month and a half for the Combine. Then it's the draft,

272
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: and then after that it's OTA's mini camps, June mini

273
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: camp and then training camp, and then you're into a season.

274
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: And Marvin Harrison is just cutting all that out from

275
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: like January to the draft pretty much. You wonder if

276
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: that will help him get through his rookie season easier

277
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: and maybe he doesn't hit that rookie wall.

278
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if you're gonna lead enough prospect. If

279
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 4: you're high enough prospect on some of these top fifty

280
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: big boards that we're seeing. What's the benefit of going

281
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 4: to the combine If all you have to do is say,

282
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: turn on my tape, look at what I did in college,

283
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: and at that point all you need to do is

284
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: get your body NFL ready. Maybe you're basically already there.

285
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: Maybe you need to keep doing what you were doing

286
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: in college, but then taking a few months to train

287
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: for the NFL Scouting Combine, to train to run the

288
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: forty yard dash, to train to leap into the air

289
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: and do the three cone drill, some of these things

290
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: if you have if it's not gonna push your draft

291
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: stock anymore, not somebody like him, then why are you

292
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: doing it? I totally understand it for some of the

293
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 4: guys who have a lot to win at the NFL

294
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 4: Scouting Combine, where maybe you're a little bit maybe you're

295
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: projected a Day three or Day four guy, or maybe

296
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: a Day two person, and you can rise up the

297
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: ranks a little bit by your testing, by how you

298
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: run the forty, by what you can do in the

299
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: interview rooms in front of coaches and scouts, I totally

300
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: get that. But when you're marves at Marvin Harrison Junior

301
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: and you're gonna go off the board, possibly at the

302
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: number three pick, the scouting combine doesn't necessarily benefit you.

303
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: I kind of like it too.

304
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: I know some people could probably scoff at it and

305
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: be like, these young kids, what are you doing. You're

306
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: not deciding to go to the NFL scouting combine. You're

307
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: totally just kind of pooh pooing it, saying it's not

308
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: for you. I understand it, and I like it, and

309
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: I think it shows how much about ball this player

310
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: is about.

311
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he is one of those examples who really

312
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: doesn't need to do anything else. He had back to

313
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: back fourteen hundred yard seasons with double digit touchdowns in

314
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: both of those years, and he did it with a

315
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: quarterback this past year who wasn't exactly lighting the world

316
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: on fire. A matter of fact, he transferred in Mkyle McCord.

317
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean he went from CJ. Stroud to

318
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: McCord and there was no drop off in Marvin Harrison

319
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: Junior's play. I think he said all he needed to

320
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: do in the last two years on the field. I

321
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: don't know if he has to up his stock anymore.

322
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: One last note, the Chiefs and their head coach Andy

323
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: Reid are expected to begin negotiations in the coming weeks

324
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: on a new contract that NFL sources believe should make

325
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: read the highest paid coach in football and you can

326
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: understand why the guy's won three Super Bowls in the

327
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: last five years. Also, Chiefs general manager Brett Viach in

328
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: line for a new deal which will tear up the

329
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: final two years of his current contract that he, along

330
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: with Reid, both signed following the twenty nineteen season after

331
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: their first Super Bowl victory.

332
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: So the rich get richer.

333
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: And if you were hoping that Andy Reid might ride

334
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: off into the sunset sometime soon, it doesn't appear as

335
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: though that is happening.

336
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, when we were watching the Kansady Chiefs win another

337
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and then you start hearing things like, oh, oh,

338
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 4: was Travis Kelcey going to retire? Is Andy Reid going

339
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 4: to retire? You kind of get excited about that for

340
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: a second. If your Bills fan wondering, Okay, if they can,

341
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 4: if they're without a couple of these guys, maybe they're

342
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 4: not going to the Super Bowl every single season. Maybe

343
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: the Bills can beat him in the playoffs, but it

344
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: doesn't look like that's going to be the case, at

345
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: least for the foreseeable future. And why not if you're

346
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: Andy Reid and you still have the roster that you're

347
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 4: going to have, and you were able to make it

348
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: work with the roster that you had in twenty twenty

349
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: three one that was far better on defense than on offense,

350
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: And if you can win a Super Bowl with that,

351
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: why would you stop right now?

352
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

353
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got the best quarterback on the planet

354
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: and he's only twenty eight years old. So I think

355
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: for someone that has died in the wool in football

356
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: as Andy Reid is, people would consider him a fool

357
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: to walk away with that guy at his disposal. So

358
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: that is around the NFL presented by Kalida Healthy, Official

359
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Topic of discussion for

360
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: you today at eight oh three five point fifty eight,

361
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five point fifty What is on the

362
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: top of your list for the Bills off season plan.

363
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: We know they're putting that plan into action, maybe as

364
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: soon as this week with some of the contract restructures

365
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: or negotiations that they need to undertake here. Maybe it's

366
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: an extension or two for some of the younger core

367
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: players on the roster.

368
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: If you have something that.

369
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: You would put at the top of that list for

370
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: the Bills off season plan, we want to know what

371
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: it is. Eight oh threeh five point fifty one eighty

372
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: eight five point fifty two, five point fifty. And I'm

373
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: expecting a lot of varying opinions here, Maddie, because some

374
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: people value where the biggest holes in the roster lies.

375
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: Some people value offense over defense. So I think we're

376
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: gonna get some differing viewpoints here, which is what we want.

377
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: Does anything strike you, like right off the top of

378
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: the bat, like you don't want the Bills to finish

379
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: their off season plan without X, Like, what is there

380
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: something that tops your list?

381
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: I mean, there are a lot of important.

382
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: Things that have to get accomplished here, but is there

383
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: one thing that sticks out.

384
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: For you, like, man, they really got to do this.

385
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: I think I go to defense first just because that's

386
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 4: where the biggest holes lie. So I guess my mind

387
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: would go to where the holes on this roster and

388
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 4: what needs to be done to fill those holes. And

389
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: I know we talked about some of the spots on

390
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 4: the defensive line last week, and how eight of the

391
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 4: twelve on the roster from last season are currently free agents,

392
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: are going to become free agents in a couple of weeks.

393
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: So I kind of go there first just knowing also

394
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 4: how the defensive line went out against the Chiefs, what

395
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: we didn't see out of that group, what we really

396
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: wanted to see out of that group. We saw them

397
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: get quite a bit of pressure in the first half

398
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: of the season. They were top of the league in

399
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: certain numbers sacks, in a pressure percentage, they ranked pretty high,

400
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: top ten, top five at times. And when they face

401
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: the Chiefs against the best quarterback, one of the best

402
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the NFL and Patrick Mahomes, who is known

403
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: for being able to get out of the pocket and

404
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: do whatever he wants once he's at the sideline or

405
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 4: beyond the defensive line, they couldn't really get any pressure

406
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 4: on him. They couldn't hit him, they couldn't get him

407
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 4: to the ground. And you have room to work with

408
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 4: at the defensive line position. You've got four guys under contract.

409
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 4: That means you can retool a lot of that position

410
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 4: group if you want to to be able to do

411
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 4: a better job of getting after those super talented quarterbacks

412
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 4: like Patrick Mahomes. So what do you want to do

413
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: with that? Do you want to re sign a few guys?

414
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 4: I would like to see Daikwon Jones a part of

415
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: this roster next season. No, we didn't get a lot

416
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 4: out of him last year due to that injury. But

417
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 4: I do think he's an impact player. So I would

418
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: say defensive line is where I kind of go first.

419
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 3: What about you, Chris, Yeah, I would say it's for me.

420
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: It's that specific, Like I think Daikwon Jones has to

421
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: be on this roster next year. I mean, you could

422
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: certainly find somebody comparable. They may cost more, who knows.

423
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: I think Daikwon wants to be here. I don't know

424
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: if you can get him at a lower price because

425
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: he is coming off an injury filled season. It's no

426
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: secret he's on the wrong side of thirty years old.

427
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: I think he still has gas in the tank and

428
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 2: can still be a productive player for this team. And

429
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: I think you need an anchor up there. And Ed

430
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: Oliver's play is considerably better when Daiquon Jones is lined

431
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: up next to him, So that would be priority one.

432
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: For me, But there are others that are a close

433
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: second or even third that I think are worthy of

434
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: consideration too, But that's kind of where I start too.

435
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: And da Quon is just a guy that I think

436
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: is valuable enough that but yes, you want to fill

437
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: the holes on the defensive line, but specifically him is

438
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: the one guy knowing that they can't spend lavishly in

439
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: free agency. He's a guy that I think I'm willing

440
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: to spend money on just to get him back in

441
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: the fold and then you know, fill in however else

442
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: you see fit after that. But to me, Daikon's a price,

443
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: so he would kind of be at the top of

444
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: my list. But let us know what you think at

445
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: ato three zero five fifty one eight eight five fifty

446
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: two five fifty.

447
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: The number to get on board.

448
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna lead off with a guy we're closer to

449
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: today than we were last week. Since we're in Indianapolis,

450
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: we're going to Kenny and Saint Louis.

451
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: What do you got for us? Kenny, you're on one

452
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: Bill's Live A.

453
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 6: Hi, thanks for taking my call. I was just wondering

454
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 6: most of the time. It seems like when you want

455
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: a championship your team gets poached, and I just want

456
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 6: to start singing chinks in the Chiefs armor and I

457
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 6: prefer to see big dents, but it doesn't seem like

458
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 6: nothing's happening. Steve Spagnola should get looked at for a

459
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 6: head coaching job, and that would put a big chink

460
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 6: in their armor, because Reid's coming back, like you said.

461
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 6: And here's something I need to know from somebody. I

462
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 6: wish Steve was there. Maybe you can tell me this.

463
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 6: Why in the world did Travis Kelcey get three releases

464
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 6: off the line all the time? It seems like nobody

465
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 6: ever hit this dude going out into a pattern. I

466
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 6: just don't understand it. On third and gotta Habits four down,

467
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 6: this guy got three releases and got.

468
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 7: Open time and time like again.

469
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 8: It just drove me mad.

470
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's it.

471
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand, Okay, Yeah, I understand where you're coming from.

472
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: Kenny.

473
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 2: It is amazing he gets free releases as much as

474
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: he does, not just against the Bills, be against a

475
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: bunch of teams. I know that coach McDermott did have

476
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: them collisioning him at the line of scrimmage more often

477
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: in an effort to reroute him sometimes, whether it was

478
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 2: an end you know, chipping him and then going to

479
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: rush the passer. They were collisioning him at the line

480
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 2: of scrimms, not all the time, but when he was

481
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 2: tied to the formation, they made sure to do it.

482
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 3: When he was split out wide.

483
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a different animal because he's

484
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: a matchup problem, and you may want to have a

485
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: guy that is capable of matching up with him physically,

486
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: but then the problem is that guy often can't run

487
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: with him the way Kelsey does. So then you say, okay,

488
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: let's put a smaller player on him that can cover

489
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: him better, but then he out muscles that player and

490
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: he can't get collisioned at the line of scrimmage to

491
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: reroute him. So it's because there is an there isn't

492
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: an easy answer to Travis Kelcey as a coverage assignment.

493
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 2: And if you go back all the way to twenty seventeen,

494
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: as many times as the Bills have played him, they

495
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: have tried everyone under the sun in coverage against Travis Kelcey.

496
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: They have tried Jordan Poyer, they tried Tredavius White, they

497
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: tried Matt Mulano, They've tried Micah Hyde. They've run down

498
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: the list of different players to deploy against him when

499
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: they go to a man coverage call, and those players

500
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: have tried to collision him at the line of scrimmage.

501
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: They've also tried to play off and it's been relatively,

502
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: relatively speaking, ineffective. But guess what, every other.

503
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Team in the league has the same problem. And that's

504
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: the thing.

505
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: Like we all watch Bills games, we see what the

506
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: Chiefs have on them, and we say, ah, why can't

507
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: they figure this out? But the news for you is

508
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: they're a problem. They are the same problem for everyone else.

509
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: And I think we got a better sense of that

510
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: on this playoff run because they dispatched of the Dolphins,

511
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: who had no answer for the Chiefs offense, they dispatched

512
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: the Bills and then followed up and had an even

513
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: more dominating performance against the number one defense in football,

514
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: the Ravens, and then beat the number two defense in football,

515
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers. So it's not just a Bill's

516
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: problem with what the Chiefs throw at you. The entire

517
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: league struggles with it. That's how they've won three of

518
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 2: the last five Super Bowls. What was the other thing

519
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 2: he talked about he was talking about, oh, the coaching staff,

520
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: and now there's no chinks in the armor.

521
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 3: Spagnola was a head coach years ago.

522
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 2: He was the head coach of the Saint Louis Rams,

523
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: but the franchise at that time was wayward in terms

524
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: of their roster development, and he kind of inherited a

525
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: bad roster that did not get better through the draft,

526
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: and he was quickly out of a job as head coach.

527
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: There after, he had had success in other places like

528
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: the New York Giants, so.

529
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 3: He's been a head coach before.

530
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: The problem is, Maddy, they coach all the way to

531
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and people don't want to wait that

532
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: long to get a head coach in the building themselves,

533
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: so they keep going to Super Bowls.

534
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: He's never going to get hired as a head coach.

535
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 4: And another thing you hear quite a bit, and you

536
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: heard right after they won the Super Bowl on sports

537
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: talk radio shows and on national TV, was hey, Steve

538
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: Spagnolo deserves a look.

539
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: But this guy is sixty.

540
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 4: Four years old, and all these owners now want to

541
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: go after young coaches. Look at all the head coaches

542
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: being hired within the last few years. That age number

543
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: continues to go down and down and down. And you

544
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 4: look at our staff and who we hired this offseason.

545
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: We hired several young coaches, not for a head coaching position,

546
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 4: of course, but look at our off defensive and defensive coordinator,

547
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 4: Joe Brady, Bobby Babbage, our quarterbacks coach, our defensive line coach.

548
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 4: These are all younger guys. It seems like that's what

549
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 4: owners want now as the game continues to change year

550
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 4: after year after year, and and they want the flavor

551
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: of the month coming out of college football and they

552
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 4: want to put that into the NFL. So that may

553
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 4: be another reason why he hasn't been looked at a

554
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 4: ton by teams.

555
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones and we'll go

556
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: down to Jerry in Louisiana.

557
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: What do you got for us?

558
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 8: Jerry, it's Gary.

559
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 3: Oh it's Gary. Sorry, I'm just reading what's on my

560
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: screen here. Sorry about that.

561
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 10: Nor Yeah for us, Gary.

562
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 11: Honest, I on the course of the day, what would

563
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 11: I want. I want a receiver that could get separation,

564
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 11: that can run. I don't care if he's six y three,

565
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 11: I don't care as long as he's six to one,

566
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 11: as long as he could get separation. Where we can

567
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 11: push the defense back and then we can contend for

568
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 11: a Super Bowl. Until then, we are not contending.

569
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, Jerry, I'm riding that train with you. Gary.

570
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you.

571
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: You know, we've been talking about receivers for the better

572
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: part of the last two weeks. We'll probably talk about

573
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: them a lot more here at the NFL Combine.

574
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 3: But yes, I agree with you.

575
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: They need a field stretcher to pull some of these

576
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: teams out of these cover two high shells that they're

577
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 2: running against. The Bills keep everything in front of them,

578
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: force them to nickel and dime their way down the field.

579
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: And if you have a field stretcher that strikes fear

580
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: in the opposing defense, they can't get as conservative with

581
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: their calls.

582
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: I think if you couple a field stretcher with a.

583
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: Running back like James Cook, now you've put a defense

584
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: in a bind because if they want to play two

585
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: safeties deep, now you've got a light box. Here comes

586
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: James Cook at you in the run game. And if

587
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: you want to bring that safety down, now you've got

588
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: single high coverage. And that affords a field stretcher a

589
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: golden opportunity to make a big play for you with

590
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 2: Josh Allen throwing to them. And the good news is

591
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: this is a deep receiver class in the draft this

592
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: year with some speedsters.

593
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's some big speedsters in this year's draft class

594
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: that you can find in the first round, in the

595
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 4: second round, or the third round.

596
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: Really take your pick.

597
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: If you're at a position to draft a wide receiver

598
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: in the first round and and some of the top

599
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: five guys are still available, you might as well go

600
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: after one. The Bills have been mocked wide receivers at

601
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 4: that number twenty eight spot quite a few times from

602
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: the mock drafts that we've tracked. Favorite name so far,

603
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior, Kean Coleman, Troy Franklin. We've talked about

604
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 4: all of those three guys last week. We'll continue to

605
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 4: talk about wide receivers as it seems to be a

606
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: popular position for the Bills to go to in that

607
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 4: first round. But I would also like to see them

608
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 4: go to a wide receiver and the second or the

609
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 4: third round, just knowing how much depth there is in

610
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 4: this year's class, and you also think about what a

611
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 4: wide receiver could do to help Stepan Diggs. You know,

612
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: we didn't see the big numbers from Stephan Diggs toward

613
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: the end of the season. But maybe if you place

614
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: a field stretcher on this roster that takes some of

615
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: the attention away from Stefon Diggs and puts it on

616
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: this big ex wide receiver, maybe that frees up Stefon

617
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: Diggs to go be one of the best wide receivers

618
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: out there, like we know he can be.

619
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know Gary's point about a separator is

620
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: important too. I think it's one of the things that

621
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: Game Davis had a problem with. He wasn't known as

622
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: a separator. Yes, he could be a downfield thread, but

623
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: a lot of his catches were in contested situations. And

624
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: I think the Bills wants somebody who is clearly open.

625
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: And the reason why is because Josh is more of

626
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: a put it on you thrower. He'll put it right

627
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: between the numbers of a receiver's chest rather than lead

628
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: them into space. That's not to say he can't do that,

629
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: but more often than not, he puts it right on

630
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: a guy's sternum. And so if you have separation, you know,

631
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: now it's not a contested play. Now it's a higher

632
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: percentage catch. Play and now it's a more productive offense

633
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: as a result. So a separator, yes, Gary, I think

634
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: you're dead on the money. And a field stretcher someone

635
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: who separates early in the down someone who is available

636
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: downfield or at least strikes fear in a defense to

637
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: get behind them. Got to take a break here, but

638
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: when we come back, more of your phone calls will

639

665
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: Al in Buffalo.

666
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: What do you got for us?

667
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 8: Al Hi, Chris him many thanks for taking my call.

668
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: Sure.

669
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 8: My thing that I really want to see the Bills

670
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 8: do is is go for offensive weapons. I mean, when

671
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 8: you look at the Chiefs, what they did you know,

672
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 8: just going through this, they played the number one defense

673
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 8: and you know, I don't know what the forty ninety

674
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 8: ers were, but they couldn't stop it. I think the

675
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 8: only team that showed that they were able to beat

676
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 8: them where the Bengals. And that's when you know you

677
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 8: had Higgins and you know, and all their receivers or

678
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 8: speech theres I really think if we want to be

679
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 8: able to win and beat the Chiefs, we need more

680
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 8: offensive weapons and really speechter guys for Josh, you know,

681
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 8: to hit down the field and stuff. So I got scared,

682
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 8: you know, go for defense. No, we really need offense

683
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 8: if we want to beat the Chiefs. That's what I

684
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 8: wanted to say. Thank you.

685
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it out and I respect that. And look,

686
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 2: you can't ignore defense. You know, to Maddie's point last segment,

687
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: just from a sheer numbers perspective, you don't have enough

688
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: people under contract on the defensive side of the ball.

689
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: So you are going to have to address that in

690
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: some capacity, both free agency and the draft presumably, but

691
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: in terms of high level investments. I think a lot

692
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: of people believe you've got to try to outscore that

693
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs team because you know, to your point, and I've

694
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: got the numbers right here, because so I'll run them

695
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: down real quick. So basically on their path to the

696
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, their third in five years, the Chiefs beat

697
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: the number ten defense in Miami, then follow that up

698
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: by beating the number nine defense in Buffalo, who was

699
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: also fourth in points allowed, then beat the number six

700
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: defense in football that was number one in points allowed

701
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: in Baltimore and then finished it up by beating the

702
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: number eight defense in football, who was third in points allowed.

703
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: So and those are some juggernaut defenses. Like the San

704
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: Francisco defensive line, they have boatloads more talent than what

705
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 2: Buffalo has. They had Nick Bosa and Chase Young on

706
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: the edges and Eric Armstead in the middle. The Bills

707
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: don't have three players of that caliber on their defensive line.

708
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 3: And in the end it didn't matter. You look at

709
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens.

710
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 2: Justin Mattebuike, he's gonna be one of the top ten

711
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 2: free agents getting giant money. The first or second day

712
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: of free agency. They had two dynamic linebackers and Rokwan

713
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: Smith and Patrick Queen, and it didn't mean a hill

714
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: of beans.

715
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: They lost. They couldn't beat the Chiefs.

716
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: So as much as you have to fortify the defense

717
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 2: just from a numbers perspective, because of the holes you

718
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: have there, I think most of us would love to

719
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: see the high level investments in the draft, knowing you

720
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: can't spend giant money on receivers in free agency at

721
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: the receiver position, get the weapons.

722
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 4: Speaking of getting the weapons, I go back to the

723
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: twenty twenty season that the Bills had when they ranked

724
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: really high on offense and not so much on defense.

725
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 4: They were second in points per game average, thirty one

726
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 4: point three points per game is what they were averaging,

727
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 4: close to four hundred yards per game. Their rushing offense

728
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 4: was twentieth, but their passing offense was ranked third. But

729
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 4: then you look on defense and the team ranked sixteenth

730
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: allowing twenty three point four points per game and fourteenth

731
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 4: allowing around three hundred and fifty total yards per game.

732
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 4: So the Bills have done that before where they have

733
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: been that high scoring, high efficiency offense and their defense

734
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 4: hasn't been as good as it's been in the last

735
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 4: couple of years, ranking sixteenth. Now, that year they were

736
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: able to make it to the AFC Championship Game and

737
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 4: lost to the Chiefs.

738
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and you had four legitimate answers at the

739
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: receiver position. You know, you had John Brown, Stefan Diggs,

740
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: Cole Beasley, and Gave Davis was a rookie. So that

741
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 2: was your top four. I mean, Davis was your fourth receiver,

742
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: not your number two. And I think they have to

743
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: get back to that. They need to go four across.

744
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 3: And maybe Kincaid is one of those four.

745
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 2: But you've got to get a bona fide number two

746
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: who is a defined playmaker, you know, either through a

747
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: body of work in college or somebody that you can

748
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: rely on in free agency.

749
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 3: That's not going to cause bootoo bucks.

750
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 2: But you got to get back to legitimate depth and

751
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: playmaking ability at the receiver position.

752
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: So I'm inclined to agree with Al there.

753
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to Rex in Springfield, Springfield next, what do

754
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: you got Rex?

755
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just everybody's calling it and talking about it.

756
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: It's just my opinion, But I don't see the real

757
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: need to get a blow the top off of the

758
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: defense fast white receiver. I would look at the last

759
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: two Super Bowl champions, and at no point in time

760
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: am I looking at Kansas City and saying, Wow, they

761
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: got that speed receiver that's just killing you down the field.

762
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in saying offensive philosophy. I feel like

763
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: Andy Reid does a great job with what he has

764
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: and he still dominates the league every single year. So

765
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at I don't I don't need the

766
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: guy that runs the four four forty. They can just

767
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: blow the doors off everybody. I'm looking for coaching change,

768
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: coaching philosophy, and that's how the Bills start winning football games.

769
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: So what with the philosophy do you want to see different?

770
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I want it to be more of we

771
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: need to use our tight ends more, obviously down the

772
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: middle or everywhere else. And I think that obviously Steph

773
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: has to be more involved. I don't think that obviously

774
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: we need to draft another wide receiver because we're looking

775
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: for future, right, that's what we need because we understand

776
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: stuff's getting old, but we certainly understand it to get

777
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: the guy that blows the doors off of a defense

778
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: is not I don't know the Kansasity chief who's Kensity

779
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs guy that did just puts fear in your eyes,

780
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: that that that's gonna kill you a deep well for from.

781
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: A speed perspective, it's Valdez Scantling. And while he doesn't

782
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: make a lot of plays, he made some key plays

783
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: at the end of games. I mean, they closed out

784
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: the Ravens game with a deep ball to Valdez Scantling

785
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: if you remember to go to the Super Bowl.

786
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: So so so, if we were as a Buffalo fan base,

787
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna be happy if we draft of Valdez Scanling.

788
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't say that. You asked me who. You

789
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: asked me who the field stretcher is. You asked me

790
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: who the field stretcher is for.

791
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: The Chiefs, and I gave it to you.

792
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: Now, I would anticipate that the Bills aren't gonna make

793
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: a high draft investment in somebody that translates into Valdez

794
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: Scantling because that wouldn't be fitting of a first or

795
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: second round pick in my opinion. But you asked me

796
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: a direct question. I just tried to give you a

797
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: direct answer.

798
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: Sure, but Brown, you would certainly suggest too that like

799
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: a Veldev Scalon is not something that we're looking to

800
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: get to improve this offense. And that's gonna be our

801
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: game breaker because because he had two good plays all year.

802
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: Like I don't, right, No, I know you need something

803
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: more than that.

804
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: Agreed, correct that That's all I'm saying, Like I'm not

805
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: looking for I would rather have someone. Uh Again, we

806
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: have to draft the wide receiver. I understand that, but

807
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: I would rather draft someone that has a routree that's

808
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: very dynamic and can do a lot of things for

809
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen I'm not looking for the guy that is like,

810
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: oh my god again, Gabe Davis. I love the guy

811
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: as a football player, and he's done great things for

812
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, but that's super limited. I want someone that

813
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: can run a complete rout tree, that has a bit

814
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: of speed. But I'm not just looking for a game breaker.

815
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's fair. Appreciate the call. Rex. There are

816
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 3: guys like that in the drag.

817
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: Exactly who you're describing, Like, you know, I mean, it's

818
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: all a product projection. There aren't sure things. We know

819
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 2: that it's an inexact science. But you know, Troy Franklin

820
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: was a guy we were talking about last week. He's

821
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 2: a guy that burns up to stop Watch. But he

822
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 2: didn't just line up outside as an X. They put

823
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: him in the slots sometimes and he has production there.

824
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: So it's a guy that's not just running goes, corners

825
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: and posts. He runs other routes on the routtree. So

826
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: that's what's so attractive about this year's draft class. You

827
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: don't just have one trick ponies at the top of

828
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 2: the draft. They have diversified skill sets. Receivers are coming

829
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,479
Speaker 2: into the league more and more polished than maybe they've

830
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: ever been before.

831
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: And I don't think those guys would be at the

832
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 4: top of people's draft boards and b players that are

833
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 4: going to be heading to teams within the top ten picks,

834
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 4: and then there'd be some available for us in the

835
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 4: twenties if they weren't polished and if they didn't know

836
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 4: how to run a good amount of routtree. You're being

837
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 4: drafted in the first round because you know how to

838
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 4: do those things. I don't think there's gonna be receivers

839
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 4: in the first round who are one trick ponies from

840
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: the guys that we've talked about. Certainly, certainly not. I mean,

841
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 4: I know we're not going to have our luck at

842
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior Oromo Dunes or My Lake Neighbors. But

843
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 4: Kean Coleman, Troy Flank, Franklin, Brian Thomas, those are guys

844
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 4: who do have a nice body of work in terms

845
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 4: of the route that they can run.

846
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 3: Let's go to Joe in Buffalo next. What's up Joe?

847
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 7: I think three things at a minimum, a wide out,

848
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 7: a defensive lineman, and subject to where Trey White ends up,

849
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 7: either a corner or a safety, and they'd lean to

850
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 7: a safety with the probable retirement of one of our safeties.

851
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 7: On the question on the cap, does it help the Bills?

852
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks the higher cap, Yeah, it helps everybody in

853
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: the league because it's thirteen more million.

854
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: Dollars of room to work with. So the short answer

855
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 3: is yes and yeah.

856
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean, as for your priorities, I like those, and

857
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 2: I would tend to lean in favor of your argument

858
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 2: about safety over corner. I think you have more depth

859
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: on the roster currently at corner. Although Trey White is

860
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 2: a question mark with his injury. We know that Dane

861
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: Jackson is a free agent, so there is work to

862
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 2: do at corner. But I think safety is in store

863
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: for even greater turnover from last year to this year

864
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: because of Micah Hyde being a free agent and we

865
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: don't know what the future holds for him. And Jordan

866
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: Poyer with his cap figure, could he be somebody whose

867
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: contract needs reworking and if he doesn't want to do that,

868
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: what happens.

869
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: So there could be a.

870
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 2: Lot of change at the safety position. So yes, I

871
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: would think you may have to very well. And Taylor

872
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: Wraps a free agent, so you may have to reinvest there.

873
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 4: And Kim Lewis as well, So you have a lot

874
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 4: of depth, including starters that are free agents that that

875
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 4: would probably be number two on my list of things

876
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 4: you have to address is what's going on with the

877
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 4: safety position. What are you going to do there? Do

878
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 4: you want to start to invest with guys who are

879
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 4: going to be available on the free free agent market

880
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 4: or would you rather maybe go after somebody in the

881
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 4: draft or you can do both.

882
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean, we know the list, the to

883
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: do list is long, but what's sitting at the top

884
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: of your list. We're taking your phone calls at ADO

885
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two,

Speaker 2: five point fifty. We're wide open for calls the entire

887

Speaker 2: Williamsville when we return, along with others holding at ATO

Speaker 2: comingy Live from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis and the

894

897
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 2: get right back to the phones. And leading us off

898
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: in this segment is Mark and West Seneca.

899
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: What's up, Mark? What do you got for us?

900
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 12: I'm starting to get a little market Can you hear me?

901
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 5: Can you hear me? Yeah?

902
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 12: I got you now, Okay, I'm a little frustrated with

903
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 12: the conversation. I think it's starting to get a little

904
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 12: bit misguided. And I got a comment about that, and

905
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 12: then a question about Thomas and Franklin in the draft,

906
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 12: two receivers.

907
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 5: But really quick.

908
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 12: To the inference in the insinuation is we've got to outscore, outscore, outscore,

909
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 12: outscore the other teams in order to be successful in

910
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 12: the playoffs. When you look at that Kansas City team

911
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 12: and you see what they did this season, and it's

912
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 12: been for two years now, two years ago, they retooled

913
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 12: their defense. They have quote unquote the best player in

914
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 12: the league in Mahomes. Okay, we believe we have a

915
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 12: guy very comparable. Okay, and if you look at their

916
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 12: season this year, their defense won that Super Bowl. Look

917
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 12: at the playoff games. Their defense beat Miami, their defense

918
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 12: beat Baltimore, their defense beat San Francisco.

919
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 5: We were the only team with what.

920
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 12: We had without even talking about what we want to

921
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 12: add this year, that actually took them to the woodshed.

922
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 12: And we would have had twenty seven points on them

923
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 12: if we didn't miss a forty four yard field goal

924
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 12: at the end of the game, and then who knows,

925
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 12: we score a touchdown and overtime if we get there,

926
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 12: and now we put up over thirty. I'm not saying

927
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 12: we don't need to get another elite talent on the outside.

928
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 12: I'm all for drafting a wide receiver first overall or

929
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 12: first pick for us, and I'll get a great talent there,

930
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 12: but I'd rather see them rather than spending a second

931
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 12: or a third on another receiver. Go get a veteran

932
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 12: guy that can support this rookie coming in, and then

933
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 12: when the transition needs to happen, it happens. Because we

934
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 12: have an offense. We have tools. Okay, we're not devoid

935
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 12: of talent on the offensive side of the ball. This

936
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 12: team is crying out for defensive help. Crying out for

937
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 12: defensive help. We need safeties. We could possibly need another corner.

938
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 12: We definitely need defensive linemen. So for us to say

939
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 12: we need to score score score score. If we think

940
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 12: we're going to go into the playoffs next year with

941
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 12: a middle of the road defense and win playoff games

942
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 12: and win the Super Bowl, I think we're slowly mistaken.

943
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 12: We could possibly do that, but I do not want

944
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 12: to go into the playoffs putting the pressure on Josh

945
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 12: and the offense saying if you don't score thirty five,

946
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 12: you don't have a chance. Okay, So they got to

947
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 12: retool that defense. They've got to Okay, and then I'm

948
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 12: gonna get I'll let you go because I know I'm

949
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 12: well wrong. Win did Brownie? But real quick, what is

950
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 12: the difference between Thomas and Franklin?

951
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 5: For you?

952
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 12: Can you give me some specifics as to why you've

953
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 12: got Thomas elevated to the guy you got targeted and

954
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 12: is there that much difference? And what does upbrak the

955
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 12: two that pushes Franklin down to the low twenties?

956
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 3: Thanks, Yeah, no problem, I'll answer your last question first.

957
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 2: For my money, Thomas is a better all around player.

958
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: I think he's also bigger and more physical so he

959
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: can separate He's versatile, he scores touchdowns, and if you

960
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: need to play a physical game, he can do that. Also,

961
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: I don't think Franklin matches his level of physicality.

962
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 3: He can do a lot of good things too.

963
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: I like both of the prospects, but Thomas edges him

964
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: out because he's got an NFL body already. Troy Franklin

965
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: goes about one hundred and seventy six pounds at six

966
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: foot three. He's got to put muscle on his frame.

967
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: He's got to get stronger. The stronger, more physical corners

968
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 2: are going to kill him in press coverage, at the

969
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage.

970
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 3: He's got to get bigger and stronger.

971
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: Thomas has an NFL ready body already, and that's why

972
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 2: he's gonna go earlier than Franklin. As for your conversation,

973
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: I think you're taking it to the extreme. I think

974
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: Maddy and I have both said we're not saying you

975
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: can afford to be average on defense, and I think

976
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: we do recognize there are plenty of holes to fill

977
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 2: and there's going to be a changing of the guard

978
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: here and a youth movement on the defensive side of

979
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: the ball due to cap constraints and due to the

980
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 2: fact that some of the positions you have to fill

981
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: defensive end, defensive tackle cost a lot of money. So

982
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of young players learning on

983
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: the job, and that's going to probably lead to some.

984
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 3: Games we are going to give up some points.

985
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 2: And really, you only have one spot, one starting role

986
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: that you're gonna probably need to fill on offense, Maddy,

987
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: and that's the number two receiver role. And that's a

988
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 2: high priced position too. And I think that's why we're

989
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: leaning towards getting a proven playmaker who could eventually be

990
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: the person that's applant Stefon Diggs when he rides off

991
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: into the sunset. That's why you got a draft one early,

992
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 2: because you can't afford one in free.

993
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 3: Agency right now.

994
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think there's different opinions. I mean, if

995
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 4: your opinion is, hey, you got to go after the

996
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 4: defense first, that's a fine and valid opinion. We're weighing

997
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 4: both of those opinions here on the show today. We're

998
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 4: talking about offense. But I started off saying where do

999
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 4: I go first? It's the defensive line. And I think

1000
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 4: you have to think about the defensive line first. Knowing

1001
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 4: that so many of the guys on the roster last

1002
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 4: season are now free agents. There's a lot of work

1003
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 4: you have to do at that position. In the safety position.

1004
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 4: I think those are really two important positions in the offseason,

1005
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 4: and I think they have to be addressed right away,

1006
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 4: whether it's through free agency or through the draft, or

1007
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 4: a little bit of both. I'm gonna trust Brandon Bean

1008
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 4: with that one. But if you look at where the

1009
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 4: Bills are at with that first pick, number twenty eight

1010
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 4: in the first round, where they're gonna go is you

1011
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: look at what's available at that point, where are you

1012
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 4: gonna get the most value out of at that point

1013
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 4: in the draft. Wide receivers what a lot of people

1014
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 4: are talking about because it's one of the best classes

1015
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 4: that people can remember for quite some time. But I

1016
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 4: do think they're gonna go after defense in this year's

1017
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 4: draft as well. They have ten draft picks right now

1018
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 4: that they can go after, and I think Brandon Bean

1019
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 4: is going to go after both the offense and the defense.

1020
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 4: If they pick a wide receiver in the first round,

1021
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 4: maybe defense is where they go in the second round.

1022
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 4: And quickly about Brian Thomas and Troy Franklin. Brian Thomas

1023
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 4: is six four to two oh five. Another thing that

1024
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 4: I like about him is the fact that he played

1025
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 4: against SEC defenses. Troy Franklin saw Pack twelve defenses. The

1026
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 4: corners in safeties at that level in the SEC. Some

1027
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 4: of them are at a little bit better than some

1028
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 4: of the Pack twelve defenses that we've seen.

1029
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: The running joke is they don't play defense in the

1030
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 2: Pac twelve, which is a conference that's really not going

1031
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: to exist anymore. And one last thing about the defense,

1032
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: let's not forget. In twenty twenty one, the Bills had

1033
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 2: the number one defense in football, number one in the league,

1034
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 2: and they got twenty seven hung on them in the

1035
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: divisional playoff against Cincinnati. And look, I've said it, they

1036
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 2: were emotionally on empty in that game, but they managed

1037
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: ten points on offense twenty seven on defense. A year later, yes,

1038
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: they have twenty four that they put up on the Chiefs.

1039
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: No other team did as well. Look, I'm not worried

1040
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: about them reinvesting in their defense. I think they will.

1041
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: My fear is that they think everything's okay with the offense,

1042
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: and in my estimation, it's not.

1043
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 3: They have to.

1044
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 2: Get better there and they need more proven playmakers outside

1045
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: knowing the drop off that Diggs has seen each of

1046
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: the last two years in the second half of the season.

1047
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 3: Why is that a number of variables?

1048
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 2: But then also you have to get somebody in the

1049
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 2: pipeline that's eventually going to be reable to replace Diggs.

1050
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 2: As you're number one, you find those people high in

1051
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 2: the draft. Gotta take a break here our number two.

1052
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: More phone calls. Tom and Williamsville will lead us off.

1053
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 3: When we come back. We got others holding there as well.

1054
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone calls as we're wide open

Speaker 2: Here are our first day in Indianapolis at the NFL

1060
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: Scouting Combine Chris Brown Matty Lab with you, and we're

Speaker 2: fifty one eight eight five point fifty two, five point

1063
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: fifty As we are asking you today, what is on

1064
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,479
Speaker 2: the top of your list for the.

1065
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 3: Bills off season plan?

1066
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 2: Something that absolutely positively has to be accomplished by the

1067
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 2: Bills this offseason before they do anything else back to

1068
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 2: the phones where we got people holding into Tom and

1069
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 2: William Zill what's up Tom?

1070
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 3: Tommy there?

1071
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: Yes, I would trade Dawnson Okay, the number one pick

1072
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: and go get one of those receivers.

1073
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 3: Uh. So you want to move up the board, is

1074
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 3: that what you're saying exactly?

1075
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 9: And if you got to throw him into.

1076
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 2: Okay, that's pretty aggressive, but I get it. That's a

1077
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 2: kind of a king's ransom to get one guy.

1078
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

1079
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 2: I understand the feeling that you have to move up

1080
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: to get one of the top three premier guys who

1081
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 2: presumably are all going to be gone in the top ten.

1082
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 2: And we're talking about Marvin Harrison Junior, Eliku Neighbors and

1083
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 2: Romadunza from Washington and just about every mock draft known

1084
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 2: to man has them all gone by like pick nine.

1085
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: And I get it.

1086
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of good players in this

1087
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 2: class at the receiver position that goes far further than that,

1088
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 2: even into the second and third round where you can

1089
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: get some capable players.

1090
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 3: But that would be a lot to give up.

1091
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: I think trading Dawson Knox really isn't realistic because of

1092
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: his cap hit, which is about twenty million It's probably

1093
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 2: less than that if he's traded, but it's still going

1094
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: to be a sizeable number that the Bills really can't

1095
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: stomach in light of their cap situation, and in my estimation,

1096
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 2: I still think there's some upside to Kyrie Elam, who

1097
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: I think his career could get a fresh start this

1098
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 2: year with the change of coaches on the back end

1099
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 2: to the defensive staff. I think he's going to challenge

1100
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: for a starting role here coming up. Not saying he's

1101
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: going to land it, but I think he's going to

1102
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 2: really push for a starting role at outside corner this

1103
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: year against the likes of Christian Benford and Rusul Douglas,

1104
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 2: who are the two under contract who will be healthy

1105
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: for training camp and everything.

1106
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 4: And if you're trading away other picks to move up

1107
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 4: in the draft, get one of those premieer wide receivers.

1108
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 4: I also think about how valuable the picks are in

1109
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 4: this year's draft, just knowing where the Bills are at

1110
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 4: with the cap number and what they need to do

1111
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 4: to become cap compliant. I just think about Brandon Bean

1112
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 4: talking to us at the end of the season saying,

1113
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 4: this draft is going to be really important for us.

1114
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 4: This offseason is going to be really important for us.

1115
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to see how much trading and moving

1116
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 4: he does within the draft. We know he does do

1117
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 4: some of that, especially as you as you get later

1118
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 4: in the draft. But I would expect that maybe they

1119
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 4: want as many draft picks as possible, knowing that they

1120
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 4: may have to find some cheap labor through the draft

1121
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 4: to be able to bring on some of these free agents,

1122
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 4: to be able to re sign some of these guys

1123
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 4: who are free agents, possibly a day Kwon Jones, who

1124
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 4: I would love to see a part of this roster

1125
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 4: this upcoming season.

1126
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need cross control for the roster, and you

1127
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: get that with draft choices on rookie contracts.

1128
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 3: Let's go to Steve in Syracuse next. What's up Steve?

1129
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 5: Thanks? Well, I got it. I just want to convention

1130
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 5: about I'm sick and tarry to hear this stuff about

1131
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 5: Diggs being trained or transferred or anything like that. We're

1132
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 5: gonna keep him. He's valuable to our team. Now by

1133
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 5: doing that, you can get this new draft. You can

1134
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 5: get another wide receiver or two b side Diggs. Now

1135
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 5: you're off to the races. They're the same way on

1136
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 5: the defense, we need to sign Daikwan Jones. If once

1137
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 5: you get Digs in the offense, Jones on the defense,

1138
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 5: Brandon Bean is a smart guy. He's going to fill

1139
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 5: in whatever is necessary to make this team a winner.

1140
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 5: And I think you're being able to go right get

1141
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 5: back to the playoffs. Like on defense at Daikwon Jones,

1142
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 5: you got that sweat from Texas. You get him in there,

1143
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 5: so for for three rounds, you're gonna have two wide

1144
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 5: receivers the best defensive tackle in the draft. What's wrong

1145
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 5: with that?

1146
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got nothing. There's a nothing wrong with that.

1147
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: I like the way you're thinking. I don't blame you

1148
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: at all. Yeah, I mean Daykwon Jones. I said at

1149
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 2: the top of the show, like that guy's my top

1150
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 2: priority of the free agents on Buffalo's roster. You really

1151
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 2: got to get him back in the fold. I think

1152
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: he makes everybody in the front better when he's on

1153
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 2: the field, and he's a pretty damn good player himself.

1154
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you do have to get more

1155
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 2: weaponry for the offense, because what were we saying at

1156
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 2: the end of the season, You know, execution, they're two

1157
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: or three plays short. Well, if you have some playmakers

1158
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 2: maybe they're making those plays for you on the offensive

1159
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 2: side of the ball. I know that's probably an oversimplification,

1160
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 2: but you wear the number one defense in football in

1161
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, and you exited the playoffs at the

1162
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: same time. So maybe try a different formula and try

1163
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 2: to load up a little bit on offense with playmakers.

1164
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you again, I'm not saying you ignore defense.

1165
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 3: You have to have a very good defense.

1166
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 2: But here's the other thing to think about with respect

1167
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 2: to scoring and all of that stuff. When you get

1168
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, scoring generally comes down because it's the

1169
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: best teams in football. So if you're a team that's

1170
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 2: scoring thirty three a game when you get to the playoffs,

1171
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 2: that's probably gonna drop up to like twenty nine to

1172
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 2: twenty eight a game.

1173
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 3: But and same thing.

1174
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not saying it all operates necessarily on

1175
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 2: a sliding scale, but historically scoring drops in the postseason.

1176
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 2: So you do have to have a good defense to

1177
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 2: hold Jane games too. But I'd like to see them

1178
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 2: get more weaponry for the offense to increase the scoring potential.

1179
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 4: And it's not like they have to do anything crazy.

1180
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 4: They're a guy or two a way of where they

1181
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 4: need to be within the offense. You think about all

1182
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 4: the work this team has done, this coaching staff and

1183
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 4: scouting department have done over the past few seasons, and

1184
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 4: where they are right now. You already have some incredible

1185
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 4: wide receivers on your roster. Stefan Diggs is at the

1186
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 4: top of the list. Kaluseeker had a great season last year.

1187
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see how he fits into this

1188
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 4: offense in a full time starting role, possibly for him

1189
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 4: with the way that he was able to earn that

1190
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 4: slot role. And then you have James Cook and how

1191
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 4: he kind of broke out last season. You've got daltonkin Kaid,

1192
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 4: You've got Dawson Knox. You have quite a few weapons already.

1193
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 4: I think you're one or two players away from being

1194
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 4: as perfect as you can be on offense before taking

1195
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 4: the field. Do we hear Steve Tasker say all the time,

1196
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 4: you gotta play great in those big time moments. And

1197
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 4: that's been one of the reasons why this team is

1198
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 4: still one or two plays away, is because in those

1199
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 4: big time moments, those one or two plays haven't happened

1200
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 4: yet for the scrip and maybe that means they're one

1201
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 4: or two guys away from getting there.

1202
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 2: I guess the best way to put it, as far

1203
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 2: as I see it, is add volume.

1204
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 3: You gotta add.

1205
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: Volume on defense because you need a number of people,

1206
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: and go high end talent on offense, where you have

1207
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 2: arguably one, maybe two spots to realistically fill. So go quality,

1208
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: high quality on offense, volume on defense because of the

1209
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 2: numbers of spots you gotta fill. Forgive me if I

1210
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 2: don't pronounce this right, but I'm telling you to take

1211
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: my best crack at it.

1212
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 3: Prashant in California. What do you got first? You're on

1213
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 3: one Bill's Live.

1214
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 9: First time caller, longtime listener.

1215
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 13: Man out here.

1216
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 14: I'm nice to meet you guys, Brownie, Tasker, Maddie, I'll

1217
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 14: be having a good I was just talking about our draft.

1218
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 14: I really think you know, Bean has always drafted defense,

1219
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 14: always in the first round, and I could see him.

1220
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 14: All the callers all want wide receiver. But don't be

1221
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 14: surprised if he goes and he sees the d N

1222
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 14: that's there that he likes, he's gonna move up or

1223
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 14: get because those positions are the hardest to find. Those trinks,

1224
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 14: Like Tasker, you say, all the time the trades. You

1225
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 14: just can't three hundred and ten pounds and you know,

1226
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 14: an eight foot wingspan or and you know on a

1227
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 14: four fourth speed, you just can't. That doesn't just come around, right,

1228
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 14: You just can't teach that and stuff. So but wide

1229
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 14: receiver wise, Thomas and Franklin would love it. I love Thomas.

1230
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 14: I think he's he just he would compliment Diggs the

1231
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 14: best on our team. I think Franklin Franklin's he's a

1232
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 14: little light. He's fast over the time, but just a

1233
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 14: little you know. But wide receiver depth. That's why I

1234
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 14: say he can go d End in the first round.

1235
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 10: Because wide receiver depth into the second and the third round.

1236
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 10: And like Maddy just said, you know, we do have

1237
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 10: a lot of playmakers on there. There's a lonly one

1238
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 10: ball to feed all these mouths and stuff like that.

1239
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 10: You can still get a quality number two. The second

1240
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 10: round has produced plenty of number ones too over the

1241
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 10: last few year. Amanros Saint, Brown, Metcalf, all these guys,

1242
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 10: there's been a bunch of them in the second round.

1243
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 10: But dns, they are hard to find. They are hard

1244
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 10: to find, and I think I think our draft will

1245
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 10: go a wide receiver, DN wide receiver, but I wouldn't

1246
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 10: be surprised if he went DN wide receiver, wide receiver,

1247
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 10: something like that. Yeah, a safety.

1248
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 14: A lot of talent is talent in this draft.

1249
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Now, it's not a deep safety draft, and I mean

1250
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 2: I would expect them to draft a safety somewhere on

1251
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: Day three just for depth purposes, but I anticipate free

1252
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 2: agency being the way for them to plug the holes that.

1253
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 3: Are currently existing. Great safety.

1254
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,439
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Prashaan, we got to move on here because

1255
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 2: we got other people holding at eight h three oh

1256
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 2: five fifty.

1257
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 3: But good call. Thanks for doing it for the first time.

1258
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

1259
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I wouldn't be shocked at all. We all

1260
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: know Brandon Bean's history and his propensity to draft defense early,

1261
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 2: particularly defensive line, and I wouldn't be surprised in the

1262
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: least if they go edge rusher in round one. And

1263
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that would push him

1264
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 2: there is if the value at receiver is poor by

1265
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 2: the time he's on the clock, He's not going to

1266
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 2: reach for a position just because he feels he has

1267
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 2: to fill it. If the value isn't right, he's going

1268
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 2: to pivot to another position.

1269
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 3: He did it last year. You could argue the Bills

1270
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: were in the market for a receiver last year. Early

1271
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 3: in the draft.

1272
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 2: The receiver run happens in front of where the Bills pick,

1273
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 2: he pivots and gets the best pass catching tight end

1274
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 2: in the draft. I could see him pivoting and going

1275
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 2: to edge rusher because there are holes there. Shaq Lawson

1276
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 2: is a free agent, Leonard Floyd is a free agent.

1277
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 2: Aj Epiness is a free agent, and I would be

1278
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: surprised if any one of those three are coming back

1279
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 2: to this roster next year. So yes, there will be

1280
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 2: a cavernous hole at that position. So if they address

1281
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 2: that early because the value is right, it wouldn't shock

1282
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 2: me in the least. That might not make some fans happy.

1283
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a bad idea because you need

1284
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 2: pass rushers, and you hear Brandon Bean say it all

1285
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 2: the time, you can never have enough. So yeah, that

1286
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me at all, and I wouldn't be upset

1287
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 2: with it as long as they on Day two address

1288
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 2: the receiver position.

1289
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, I would not be shocked either. If the

1290
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 4: Bills decide to go defensive line, specifically edge rusher. With

1291
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 4: that number twenty eighth pick, because there are gonna be

1292
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 4: guys available at that point and they should be good

1293
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 4: value as well if some of those bigger names are

1294
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 4: still around. The Bills have actually been mocked two edge.

1295
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 3: Rushers so far.

1296
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 4: A bulk of the guys who've been locked to the

1297
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 4: Bills are wide receivers, but two defensive tackles, two edge rushers.

1298
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 4: Defensive tackle has ventures On Newton not sure if the

1299
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 4: Bills would go tackle there at number twenty eight defensive

1300
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 4: tackle that is. And then edge rushers who have been

1301
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 4: mocked to the Bills at number twenty eight Chop Robinson

1302
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 4: out of Penn State, and then liau To. Law To

1303
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 4: as well has been mocked to the Bills in a

1304
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 4: trade that was from NFL dot Com. The Bills had

1305
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 4: to trade up to number twenty six to go get

1306
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 4: him a couple spots.

1307
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if he's gonna last that long,

1308
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 2: but yeah, he's a really good player. Long and lanky body,

1309
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 2: long reach too, doesn't really miss too many tackles. We

1310
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 2: got to get back to the phones, though, and up

1311
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 2: next here is Bill in Amherst.

1312
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 3: What's up Bill?

1313
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 5: Hello?

1314
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 9: First off, I'll just tell you what I think. And

1315
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 9: then I have a weird question for you to answer.

1316
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 9: How about the draft One, I would resign Jones. Two

1317
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 9: with the twentieth pick, I'd get the tackle, the defensive tackle,

1318
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 9: hopefully the kid at Illinois. That would give you two

1319
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 9: at Oliver's in the medal with Jones. That's my opinion. There,

1320
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 9: you still got two and three to fill other positions.

1321
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 9: Now here's the question. You're going to think off the

1322
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 9: wall after the first two days. Now, I know Superman

1323
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 9: scored fifteen touchdowns and he runs into people, but it's

1324
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 9: a lot to ask a quarterback to take those hits.

1325
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 9: So we're always going to find these deal quarterbacks. Now,

1326
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 9: I know the top five quarterbacks will be going in

1327
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 9: the first round. As a kid at South Carolina called

1328
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 9: Ratler that always seems to have been given a rodd deal.

1329
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 9: I watched his highlights the other day. What if, for

1330
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 9: some reason he fell to four or five, wouldn't it

1331
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 9: be nice to pick up a developmental quarterback. I seen

1332
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 9: his arm, I've seen him run, you know, and he's

1333
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 9: always seems to be in a position where he gets

1334
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 9: He took a bad South Carolina team and did some

1335
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 9: nice numbers just tell me what you think of that,

1336
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 9: and I'll let you go, Thank you very much.

1337
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he could rule it out. I

1338
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 2: mean we've seen Brandon Bean do that before. I mean

1339
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 2: he drafted Jake fromm in the fifth round because he

1340
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 2: was sticking out on the board. Now, they didn't need

1341
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback, but he was the best prospect for

1342
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 2: the value and they drafted him in the fifth round.

1343
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 3: Now, is Rattler going to make it that far? I

1344
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 3: don't know.

1345
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 2: He seems to me to be a third round value

1346
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 2: on most of the quarterback rankings boards that I've seen.

1347
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 2: Nice player, I think he does have some flaws to

1348
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 2: his game, which is part of the reason why people

1349
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 2: have him as a third round pick. If he's there

1350
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 2: on Day three, yeah, I think he becomes a much

1351
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: bigger consideration for a lot of teams, including the Bills.

1352
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 2: But who knows what the Bills quarterback situation looks like

1353
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 2: by then? Have they signed a veteran free agent to

1354
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,919
Speaker 2: be the backup quarterback because Kyle Allen's a free agent

1355
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 2: as we know, Mitch Drubisky is out there who's been

1356
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 2: a backup for the Bills. So I get the sense

1357
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 2: that they'll be a veteran on the roster already and

1358
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 2: that might impact whether or not they even want to

1359
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 2: entertain something like that.

1360
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 3: So that's kind of where I am. I don't know

1361
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 3: if you Yeah.

1362
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 4: And when it comes to quarterback, if there's somebody available

1363
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 4: later on in the draft and you think that you

1364
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 4: could also use that position to draft a quarterback and

1365
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 4: then maybe flip him later like they have done in

1366
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 4: the past, that may be something to think about as well.

1367
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see what this scouting staff does with

1368
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 4: the backup quarterback position. Will they go veteran, will they

1369
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 4: maybe try to get a younger player. We're not sure.

1370
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll hear from Brandon Bean when he speaks to

1371
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 4: the media tomorrow afternoon.

1372
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Back to the phones we go, and to Dennis

1373
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 3: in North Carolina. Next. What's up Dennis here on One

1374
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 3: Bill's Live.

1375
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 13: Hey, how y'all doing today?

1376
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 3: Good?

1377
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 8: Hey? Question?

1378
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, I like to see Buffalo draft

1379
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 13: by receipt from LRC represent the SCC. But how many

1380
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 13: running backs do we have? Is if Buffalow drafts are

1381
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 13: running back, who will you like to see Buffalo draft?

1382
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 13: That was my call for today.

1383
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 8: Thank youth.

1384
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just say this.

1385
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 2: I think running back right now, it's basically James Cook

1386
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 2: on the roster. Ty Johnson's a free agent, so to

1387
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: is Latavius Murray. So that's kind of where that sits

1388
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 2: in terms of who your top three were last year.

1389
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 2: Cook is the only one under contract. Now, you can

1390
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: find guys in free agency. It wouldn't shock me if

1391
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 2: they brought Ty Johnson back. I know they liked a

1392
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 2: lot of the things that he did. I know they

1393
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 2: signed Darrynton Evans to a reserve futures contract. If you remember,

1394
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: he was here in training camp and then basically got

1395
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 2: bumped off the roster by Ty Johnson, and then Darrynton

1396
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 2: Evans went down to Miami. He was on their practice

1397
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 2: squad during the year. He is back on Buffalo's off

1398
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 2: season roster, so he'll be in camp. Does he make

1399
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: the roster that, I don't know. If they want to

1400
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 2: take a running back in the draft, I think it

1401
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 2: happens on Day three unless some prospect slides and you're like,

1402
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this guy's still here. I like the

1403
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 2: big bodied kid from Notre Dame, but I think he's

1404
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: probably a Day two pick, two hundred and twenty five pounds.

1405
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 3: He's got a little.

1406
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 2: Juice to him, and his name is escaping me right now.

1407
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 2: But that's one of the kids that I've liked on

1408
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 2: tape that I've seen so far. Just getting started on

1409
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: the running backs because it wasn't, in my estimation, a

1410
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 2: super high priority position, but that was one of the

1411
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 2: kids that I like that i've seen on tape to

1412
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 2: this point. I think that's a day three consideration for depth,

1413
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 2: because you can find quality backup running backs on day

1414
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 2: three in the draft. There's a countless number of examples.

1415
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,759
Speaker 2: So if you wanted to go that route, I wouldn't

1416
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 2: hold your breath until about day three.

1417
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 3: That's when you might see one.

1418
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And just in terms of where depth lies in

1419
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 4: this draft class for running backs, it's more Day two

1420
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 4: beginning than anything even starting in the third round and

1421
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 4: of the second round. I was listening to Daniel Jeremiah's

1422
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 4: draft call that he did this morning, and he was

1423
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 4: asked about the running back spot in that position, and

1424
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 4: he's thinking, there's not going to be any guys that

1425
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 4: go off the board in the first round in terms

1426
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 4: of running backs, because that's not where the depth is.

1427
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 4: There is no Bjeon Robinson in this year's draft class,

1428
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 4: and that maybe end of the second round, early three

1429
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 4: around is when these guys could start to go off

1430
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 4: the board. And he thinks some of the top tier

1431
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 4: talent in terms of running backs will kind of go

1432
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 4: one after another. Once one guy, once one team decides

1433
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 4: to draft a running back, the run on running backs

1434
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 4: is going to begin. So the Bills would probably be

1435
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 4: I would assume way after that because they're not shopping

1436
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 4: for running back right now.

1437
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you looked it up for me.

1438
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 2: Audric Estime was the kid I was thinking of, big

1439
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,719
Speaker 2: bulky kid, and he's a New York native. He's from Nyak,

1440
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 2: New York, which is I think that's Westchester County. If not,

1441
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 2: it's Orange County, but he's in downstate, just north of.

1442
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 3: The city, New York native.

1443
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 4: He's huge.

1444
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a big boy, but he's got some juice. Wow,

1445
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 2: Like he's got some bursts to him even though he

1446
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 2: is a big boy. So to me, that would be

1447
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: a good complimentary weapon to Cook being the elusive guy

1448
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 2: that he is.

1449
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 3: And I think he's trending right now.

1450
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 2: Is like a late second, early third round pick that

1451
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 2: might be too early to the Bills, liking with the

1452
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 2: other needs that they have, but I did like what

1453
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 2: I saw from him on tape.

1454
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 3: He was an intriguing.

1455
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 2: Let's pivot over to the tweet sheet here while we've

1456
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 2: got a few minutes for answers on what you think

1457
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: is at the top of your priority list for the

1458
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: Bills off season plan. Tweet sheet brought to you by

1459
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 2: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1460
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Jeremy leads us off and says getting younger

1461
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 2: all around, of course, but specifically the defensive line. These

1462
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: one year deals seem to work in the regular season,

1463
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 2: but end up costing us in the postseason when all

1464
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 2: these players just seem to fall flat. That's an interesting comment.

1465
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that contract length has anything to do

1466
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 2: with performance in the postseason. If anything, you're at the

1467
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 2: end of your one year contract, you want to show

1468
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 2: up and show out in what could be your last

1469
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 2: game of the season. Think about this, And I'm not

1470
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 2: trying to assault Daikwon Jones' character when I say this,

1471
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 2: I'm just using it as an example. If Daikwon Jones

1472
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 2: had three more years on his contract, is he bust

1473
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: and tail to get back in the lineup and play

1474
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 2: at the end of the season coming back from a

1475
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 2: torn petrol.

1476
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 3: Maybe he does.

1477
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: But I guess the point I'm trying to make is

1478
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 2: that guy's in the last year of his contract. He's

1479
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 2: trying to come back and show, hey, look I can

1480
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: heal up fast and I can come back and help

1481
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 2: your football team, and you know, make sure his value

1482
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 2: is properly set. In the free agent market. All of

1483
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 2: these guys on one year deals, they are straining, they

1484
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 2: are pushing at the end of the season. I know

1485
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 2: some people feel like Leonard Floyd tailed off at the

1486
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 2: end of the year in production wise, he did, but

1487
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 2: the guy was playing at less than one hundred percent.

1488
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 2: He was dragging a leg around, he had a rib

1489
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 2: problem that was listed on the injury report every week,

1490
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 2: and the guy still went out and played. I just

1491
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: think he lost some of his effectiveness because he got

1492
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 2: nicked at the end of the season. So I mean

1493
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 2: to me, one year contracts benefit the team because it's

1494
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 2: incentive for the player to play hard all throughout the

1495
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 2: season so he can earn the next contract.

1496
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 4: And that's why you hear the word prove it attached

1497
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 4: to a lot of one year or short term deals.

1498
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 4: It's a one year proven deal. It's a short term

1499
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,679
Speaker 4: proven deal so that these players can prove that they're

1500
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 4: worth a longer term contract. And I believe the Bills

1501
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 4: will get younger all around, across the offense and across

1502
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 4: the defense. But knowing where this team is at, I

1503
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 4: think we're also gonna see a lot of one year

1504
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 4: deals again. I would guess Brandon Bean is gonna tell

1505
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 4: us that tomorrow afternoon. Just knowing where the Bills are

1506
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 4: at and what they need to do to get under

1507
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 4: that cap number, He's probably gonna say, Hey, we're gonna

1508
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 4: tell these guys you come play for Buffalo because you

1509
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 4: have the chance at a Super Bowl, you have a

1510
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 4: chance to be a playoff contending team consistently. But also,

1511
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 4: we don't have a lot of money to give it out,

1512
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 4: so we're gonna be able to We're gonna be signing

1513
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 4: guys on one year and short term deals, which we've

1514
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 4: seen them do a lot of in the last.

1515
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 2: Two seasons, and then they have to do more of

1516
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 2: that than ever with the cap situation they're currently dealing with.

1517
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. More of your thoughts on

1518
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet more of your phone calls at eight

1519
01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 2: h three zero five to fifty. What is it the

1520
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 2: time of your priority list for the Bills off season plan?

1521
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 2: If we got a little time, we might even do

1522
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 2: a little NFL true false. As we are coming to

1523
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 2: you live from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. It's One

1524
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Bills Live, presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1525
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, One Bill's Live, comingy alive from

1526
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 2: the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Chris Brown Maddi lab with

1527
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 2: you and asking you what is your top priority for

1528
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 2: Buffalo's off season plan? Something they absolutely positively have to

1529
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 2: get accomplished between now and September. We know the list

1530
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 2: is long, but what has to happen? Something that if

1531
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen, you're gonna be genuinely concerned. Eighth three,

1532
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 2: five point fifty the number to get on board. Back

1533
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 2: to the phones and to tie in Buffalo.

1534
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 3: What's up?

1535
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 8: Tie not on? How you doing good?

1536
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 14: Well?

1537
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 9: I think the top priority for the Buffalo Bills is

1538
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 9: a defensive tackle Kwon Jones.

1539
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 8: At least we have somebody there. I'll be next to Oliver.

1540
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they and they probably need more than one tie.

1541
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 2: I mean, even if you do resign Daikwon Jones. Let's

1542
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:16,799
Speaker 2: not forget Jordan Phillips is a free agent.

1543
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 3: Uh.

1544
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 2: So is uh Tim Settle, So is Poona Ford. So

1545
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 2: you've got a slew of guys that are free agents

1546
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 2: on the defensive interior. Now you may be able to

1547
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 2: get one or two of those back once you get

1548
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 2: to the free agent market, or right before that, uh

1549
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 2: knowing they can talk to their own players prior to

1550
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 2: the opening of the free agent window.

1551
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, your down numbers there.

1552
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 2: Ed Oliver is the only defensive tackle under contract on

1553
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,560
Speaker 2: the roster, not counting reserve future free agents like Ilianku

1554
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,799
Speaker 2: Who's you know signed a reserve future free agent contract

1555
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 2: back in January.

1556
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 3: It's Ed Oliver. That's it. So you got to get

1557
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 3: to work over there.

1558
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 4: You got your cut, your work cutout for you for

1559
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 4: defensive tackles. And I haven't looked at it much, but

1560
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 4: defensive tackle free agent pool, what's it looking like?

1561
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 3: Expensive? At the top.

1562
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 2: You know, players like Christian Wilkins and Chris Jones, they're

1563
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 2: gonna get over twenty million dollars a year. That is

1564
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 2: not the neighborhood where the Bills are going to be shopping.

1565
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 2: I think Daikwon Jones comes at a much more affordable

1566
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 2: price because he is thirty two years of age. I

1567
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 2: think he turns thirty three at the very end of

1568
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 2: the calendar year. And because of his age, some injuries

1569
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 2: the last year or so, you know, he didn't play

1570
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 2: in the playoff game against Cincinnati, missed most of the

1571
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 2: season last year.

1572
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 3: That might make his price a little bit easier to stomach.

1573
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be somewhere in that six

1574
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 2: to seven million dollars a year range, you know, at

1575
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 2: the age he is at, I mean, he's I think

1576
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 2: he's not going to be insulted by this. He's on

1577
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 2: the back side of his career, and you get more

1578
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 2: affordable on the backside of your career. Hopefully he's affordable

1579
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 2: where the Bills can come up with a value and

1580
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 2: a contract that's suitable to get him back in because

1581
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 2: they still thinking has gas left in the tank to

1582
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 2: play two more solid seasons for the Bills and then

1583
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 2: after that, you know, do you want Jordan Phillips back

1584
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 2: at age thirty.

1585
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:10,919
Speaker 3: That's a guy.

1586
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 2: Whose last two seasons have injured ended with injuries and

1587
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 2: being on injured reserve. You know, two years ago it

1588
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 2: was a rotator cuff injury and couldn't play down the

1589
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 2: stretch and into the playoffs. And then this past year

1590
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 2: was another injury which is slipping my mind, was that

1591
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 2: a wrist. It was a wrist injury, couldn't play, So

1592
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 2: that injury history. It's frustrating, but it may make him

1593
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 2: affordable to get him back on the roster, you know,

1594
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 2: at an affordable price that they can stomach, knowing their

1595
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 2: cap constraints, you know, leave them in a situation where

1596
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 2: they can't pay top dollar. They again volume volume on

1597
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball.

1598
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm looking at Daniel Jeremiah's top fifty right now,

1599
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 4: and it looks like guys who could be around that

1600
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 4: are defensive tackles, possibly around where the Bill with draft

1601
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 4: Jorson Newton, I would say, is the one name that

1602
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 4: could be available at that point out of Illinois. You

1603
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 4: also have Zibyron Murphy as well, but I think he

1604
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 4: would be gone before the Bills are going to draft

1605
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:13,640
Speaker 4: at number twenty eight.

1606
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,719
Speaker 2: A lot of people have him as a mid first

1607
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,560
Speaker 2: round pick because he's probably one of the most athletic, yeah,

1608
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 2: defensive tackles in the class. He's out of Texas, really

1609
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:27,640
Speaker 2: really good athletic prospect for the defensive tackle position. A penetrator,

1610
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 2: a disruptor, kind of like the way at Oliver plays.

1611
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 2: But the difference is he's six three three fifteen. So yeah,

1612
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 2: he's going to go early because, as one of our

1613
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 2: callers said earlier in the show, those types of players

1614
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 2: do not grow on trees. They are hard to find.

1615
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 2: So when you find them, you get them, and you

1616
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 2: get them early. It is a pretty good defensive tackle class.

1617
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's great, but it's pretty good. I've

1618
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 2: actually spent the last week or so looking at defensive tackles.

1619
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 2: I want to let me just run through my list

1620
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 2: to see refresh mind, mind or memory with some of

1621
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,719
Speaker 2: the guys that I liked. Chris Jenkins, the kid at Michigan,

1622
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 2: I liked him. I think he's one of the more

1623
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: athletic defensive tackles in the class. If you want a

1624
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 2: behemoth space eater guy, you want to and Andre Sweat, who's

1625
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,919
Speaker 2: Byron Murphy's teammate at Texas, three hundred and sixty two pounds.

1626
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 2: I worry when the weight gets up that high because

1627
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 2: you can say, oh wow, you just need him to

1628
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 2: drop thirty pounds and he'll be great for you. Well,

1629
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 2: why is he playing at three sixty two? Then you know,

1630
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 2: and you don't want to be worrying about an extra

1631
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 2: thing like that. Another kid that I liked a Missouri

1632
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 2: transfer Maddie. He went finished up at LSU. Mackai Wingo,

1633
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 2: high motor player, uh six one, two ninety five. So

1634
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 2: maybe a little short, maybe a little light, but he

1635
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: is a loose athlete and has positioned flexibility. They used

1636
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 2: him up and down the line at LSU, could play

1637
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 2: a number of different spots, and even when he doesn't

1638
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 2: get to the quarterback, what I liked is he gets

1639
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 2: his hands up. He batted like eight passes down last season,

1640
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 2: and he's really explosive off the snap. So those are

1641
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 2: just some players. The Clemson kid I like, too, Rookue

1642
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 2: or Horror Horro. Say that five times fast.

1643
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 3: Another explosive burst type player on the defensive interior.

1644
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 4: So fun story about Rouque oh Horror Horro. I think

1645
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 4: I'm correct. So we went through every single prospect name

1646
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 4: you guys, all three hundred something of them, and tried

1647
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 4: to find connections to players on our current roster, and

1648
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 4: with Rook, he went to the same school as Baile

1649
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 4: Inspector and Shaq Lass and you know, Clemson played with

1650
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Baile Inspector for a couple of seasons. But he grew

1651
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 4: up in the same town as Kingsley Jonathan Jonathan in

1652
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,600
Speaker 4: Lagos Nineteler, Nigeria. So I wonder if they have a

1653
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 4: connection to each other. I wonder if they knew each

1654
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 4: other when they were growing up, knowing that they were

1655
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 4: both involved in football. Both came over to the state

1656
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,600
Speaker 4: side to decide to play football. But I kind of

1657
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 4: want to know a little bit more about that story.

1658
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 4: Rook and Kingsley knew each other.

1659
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 2: There's another at defensive tackle and I'm watching him on tape,

1660
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 2: the kid from Florida State, Braiden Fisk, and I'm watching

1661
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 2: him play and it's like I'm watching Kyle Williams. So

1662
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,679
Speaker 2: I saw a little bit of Kyle Williams and Braiden Fisk.

1663
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 2: I think he'll go higher in the draft than Kyle did.

1664
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 2: Kyle was the first pick of the fifth round in

1665
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 2: the five draft. I think Fisk will go higher. But

1666
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 2: transferred from Weshtern Michigan went to Florida State and did

1667
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 2: not miss a beat despite playing against the higher quality

1668
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 2: of competition. Just a real heady player who made a

1669
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 2: lot of plays for them. There are players to be

1670
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 2: had at defensive tackling. I think it goes to three

1671
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 2: rounds deep. So maybe you get your edge guy. If

1672
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,719
Speaker 2: you don't like the receiver value early, then you pivot

1673
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:47,680
Speaker 2: to receiver and then maybe defensive tackling round three. I mean,

1674
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 2: I know it doesn't work that way. You just take value,

1675
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: don't worry about position. But I think we're all hoping

1676
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 2: that they address some positions you know that will be

1677
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 2: filling holes on the roster as well. Let's jump back

1678
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 2: to the tweetsheet here a real quick and from MG

1679
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 2: Bills as far as their top priority on the Bills

1680
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 2: offseason plan. Considering the magic McDermott pulled off with all

1681
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 2: the third stringers on last year's d got to be

1682
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 2: offense and wide receiver, both in free agency and in

1683
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,480
Speaker 2: the first round. That's a little bit of a contradictory

1684
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 2: statement they're talking. They made it sound like, oh, they

1685
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,719
Speaker 2: had nothing but third stringers on defense, so let's go offense.

1686
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 3: What like that kind of threw me a little bit.

1687
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1688
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 2: Maybe they think that McDermott can keep you can do

1689
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 2: more with keep doing more with less what I.

1690
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 3: Think he can.

1691
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 4: I think he can, But I don't think you want

1692
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 4: to get to a point where you're doing that.

1693
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: In week one. I don't think you want to live

1694
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 3: that way.

1695
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 4: I think you want to live that way when you

1696
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 4: need to live that way, and when you can dip

1697
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 4: into your depth and not be worried about those guys

1698
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 4: stepping up to the plate and knowing that they know

1699
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 4: the defense, they know the system, or if you're flipping

1700
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 4: on offense, they know the offense and when given the opportunity,

1701
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 4: they can do the most with it, which is what

1702
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 4: we saw out of a lot of the backups at

1703
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 4: the end of the season. But I would love to

1704
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 4: see this team not get to that point. They were

1705
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,799
Speaker 4: riddled with so many injuries this last year, especially on defense.

1706
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 4: You have to think maybe the maybe the NFL gods

1707
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 4: are are gonna bless the Bills this upcoming season with

1708
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 4: help be nice.

1709
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 2: Jack on the tweets sheet says got to add wide

1710
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 2: receivers at least one high in the draft. If not too.

1711
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 2: I like ad I Mitchell or Troy Franklin at twenty

1712
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 2: eight and maybe Ricky piers All in round three add

1713
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 2: one in free agency, I like kJ Osborne as a target.

1714
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 2: Also need to re sign day Kwon Jones.

1715
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1716
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 2: I like kJ Osbourne too. I think it's a guy

1717
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 2: who was buried in the pecking order in Minnesota. I

1718
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 2: think he's capable of more, and I think because his

1719
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 2: production has been down, there's a good chance you could

1720
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 2: get him at an affordable price. We'll have to see

1721
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 2: how in demand he is come the free agent market, and.

1722
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 3: You know we're talking.

1723
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 2: We were talking earlier about Troy Franklin and Brian Thomas.

1724
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,839
Speaker 2: I actually like add and Ni Mitchell better than Troy Franklin.

1725
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 2: I think he's a bit clutch performer. I watched him

1726
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 2: earlier in his career at Georgia before he transferred to Texas, and.

1727
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 3: I liked what I saw.

1728
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 2: I mean, that guy played big in big games, whether

1729
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 2: it was the National semifinal in twenty twenty one against

1730
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 2: Alabama where he scored what proved to be the game

1731
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 2: winning touchdown to advance to the National title game, or

1732
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,839
Speaker 2: the two touchdowns he scored against Alabama in Texas's upset

1733
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 2: of Alabama at the beginning of the season this past year.

1734
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 2: The guy plays big in big time games, and he's

1735
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 2: got plenty of juice. He's got enough size at six '

1736
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 2: four one ninety two. So ad nin Mitchell I think

1737
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 2: would be a great pick at twenty eight as well.

1738
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 2: So that's another guy to throw into the mix.

1739
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 4: And that's exactly who I would want on this roster.

1740
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 4: The Bills are one to two plays away from winning

1741
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 4: those big games. You want players who are up to

1742
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 4: those big time games, those big time moments. So I

1743
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 4: want somebody like eighty Mitchell who can be up for

1744
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 4: the task and be able to play his best in

1745
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 4: the biggest games.

1746
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1747
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,799
Speaker 2: Greg on the tweets sheet says, get younger and more talented,

1748
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 2: speedy receivers, a behemoth defensive tackle, new faces as safety,

1749
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 2: and focus on special teams.

1750
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 3: I felt the biggest drop off was the third phase

1751
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 3: of our defense.

1752
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 2: Also, I believe in this new coaching staff to get

1753
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 2: it done.

1754
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 3: It may be the strength of the team.

1755
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that a little bit, Maddie, because you

1756
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,799
Speaker 2: and I were talking before the show. This coaching staff

1757
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,839
Speaker 2: has gotten noticeably younger. If you think about this coaching

1758
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 2: staff last year at this time, you well, we found

1759
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 2: out here last year that Leslie Fraser was no longer

1760
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 2: going to be a part of the defensive staff. That

1761
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 2: was somebody in their sixties off the staff, and now

1762
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 2: you have some of the other veteran defensive coaches off

1763
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 2: the staff. Like John Butler, who was the secondary coach.

1764
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: You've got younger people filling in behind him. Your defensive

1765
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 2: coordinator last year, before the news about Fraser came down,

1766
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 2: went from about sixty two years of age down to

1767
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 2: forty years of age. And Bobby Babbage, all of these

1768
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 2: other defensive assistants who came in the door or were

1769
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 2: promoted from within, like a Marcus West who's now the

1770
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 2: defensive line coach, all younger. And your quarterbacks coach, Ronald Curry,

1771
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 2: I think it's forty two, so you've got and your

1772
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator is thirty five years old. So you've gotten

1773
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 2: younger almost across the board coaching staff wise. And we

1774
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 2: hear coach McDermott say it all the time he needs

1775
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 2: energy from his coaching staff on the practice field because

1776
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 2: he feels that filters down to the players and you

1777
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 2: get more out of the players in the practice setting,

1778
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 2: and if you practice that way, the games come easier.

1779
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 2: Because you're playing at a high rate of speed and

1780
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 2: competitive level in practice, the games are that much easier

1781
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 2: for the players on Sundays.

1782
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the coaching staff looks quite young for this upcoming season.

1783
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see and hear from coach McDermott when

1784
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 4: we talked to him later this afternoon about why they

1785
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 4: decided to go younger with a lot of those new

1786
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 4: members on the staff this year and promote some younger

1787
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 4: members to higher positions as well. I think you also

1788
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 4: want new ideas within the coaching staff, and you want

1789
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 4: guys who are fresh and who maybe are bringing some

1790
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 4: new juice, like you said, some energy to this team,

1791
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 4: and maybe guys who can relate to players as well

1792
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 4: being younger.

1793
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here when we come back, Maddy,

1794
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 2: and I'll wrap it up with some final thoughts on

1795
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet here on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned,

1796
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 2: Welcome back to one Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Maddy glad

1797
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 2: with you. Got a couple of minutes left here and

1798
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 2: we'll try to get to a couple of quick comments

1799
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 2: on the tweet sheet here. Ed says number one priority

1800
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 2: reshaping the salary cap, devising a free agent plan, and

1801
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 2: getting meaningful players in the draft. That's kind of the

1802
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 2: broad brushed but still a valid answer. Ed Phillip says,

1803
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 2: defensive line times three or four. Someone's aware of how

1804
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 2: many free agents the Bills have on the defensive front,

1805
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 2: got eight out of twelve. David says me reading one

1806
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four mock drafts, I.

1807
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 3: Love that day. It's not like, Maddie, Now, I'll help

1808
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 3: you out with that.

1809
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 2: Someone's got your idea planned there. That's pretty funny. Let's

1810
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 2: see what we got here from John. John says get

1811
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 2: the priorities straight to maximize Allen's career window wide receiver,

1812
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 2: O line, D line.

1813
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1814
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by that sentiment, because we hear that

1815
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 2: a lot, Maddie people calling in and saying, hey, that's

1816
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:43,439
Speaker 2: another year of Josh Allen's career wasted. We got to

1817
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:45,640
Speaker 2: get him weapons on offense. I think they have the

1818
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 2: offensive line set in front of him. James Cook's a

1819
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,759
Speaker 2: great addition in the backfield, but you know, now they got.

1820
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 3: To get another weapon.

1821
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, They've got all their offensive line under contract for

1822
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four season, and we saw a lot

1823
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 4: of great things.

1824
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 3: Out of that group this year.

1825
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see two years the.

1826
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 3: Giant show for you tomorrow.

1827
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 2: Here from the Combine head coach Sean McDermott, GM, Brandon Bean,

1828
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah from NFL Network, and Reiders' new GM, Tom Telesco.

1829
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 3: Will see you tomorrow. One
