00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: All right, welcome into One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Matty

3
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: glad with you here on a Thursday and I was

4
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: out for a little bit. Good to be back, Good

5
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: to have you got some R and R in, so

6
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: that was nice.

7
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: I'm glad you got that.

8
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: I know you have some rn R coming up in

9
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: the not too distant future, so time to do it. Brown.

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: This is the time of the year where you know,

11
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: we try to get away a little bit because you

12
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: blink your eyes and it's like, what we're at Saint

13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: John Fisher tomorrow. What the heck happened? So we got

14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: to do our best to get our getaways in when

15
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: we can, because once the training camp machine starts, we're

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: full go until well, hopefully mid February, you know, where

17
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: we're plowing ahead each and every week with games and whatnot,

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: so and we look forward to all that stuff. But

19
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: everybody needs a little getaway time, and my family and

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: I were able to do that. We enjoyed our daughter's

21
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: graduation from college and then parlayed that into a trip

22
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: which was essentially met a do over because we went

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: to Italy in twenty twenty and it got cut short

24
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: because the COVID outbreak literally happened and we had to

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: flee the count.

26
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: I remember that, and because we started hearing about COVID,

27
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: of course, and in different countries a little bit before

28
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 4: it came to the United States. Now is in it

29
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: and then we're like, oh my gosh, Chris Brown's in

30
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: Italy and we're coming back.

31
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: We're coming back to We were worried we're going to

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: get back and be allowed in again. But fortunately at

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: that time it was only China that was on the

34
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: do not admit list if you had traveled there. The

35
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: only difference was we did southern Italy this time, where

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: a lot of our family roots are from, both on

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 2: my side of the family and my wife's side of

38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: the family because she's got her dad's side of the

39
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: families from Napoli. My grandfather's side of the family's from Napolis.

40
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 2: So we went there first time there. I know you've

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: been there at least stopped over there, and it is

42
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: metropolitan in every sense of the word, the good, the bad,

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: and the ugly. Ate way too much pizza over that four.

44
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: Or five years, there are like four euros there it's incredible.

45
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's where they were invented. Pizza was invented there,

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: you know, Southern Italy, so good, you know, poor people

47
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: on the whole. It's considered a peasant food for all

48
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: intents and purposes. But learn some good tips, you know.

49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: I like making pizza. I got one of those Zonie

50
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: ovens at home, but I picked up we did a

51
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: pizza making class and I got some tips. Got some

52
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: good tips. You know, I can and share if you're interested.

53
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm not shy, yes please, but yeah, but they had

54
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: the one thing they had over there that I was

55
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: completely unaware of. They have a special kind of cheese

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: that they can only get in Napoli. I can't remember

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: what the reasons are. I've got it written down somewhere,

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: but I didn't commit it to memory. And it's so

59
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: it's a good thing. I wrote it, this cheese, like

60
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: you can't get it anywhere except in Napoli, of course.

61
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: Like the guy's like, nah, you can't get it anywhere.

62
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Like I'm sure if you know you had some billionaire

63
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: special ordering it or something, or a millionaire that cost

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: wasn't an option, you know, you could send away to

65
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: Napoli and get it. I don't know if it's coming

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: here fresh or what, but that was cool. And we

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: actually went to the hometown where my grandmother is from

68
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: before she emigrated to the United States when she was five,

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to talk to some town, tiny, small,

70
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: little farming town. Cool, just kind of cool to see it.

71
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: We found the house where she was born. So just

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: really kind of cool, family roots kind of stuff. I

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: really it was. I enjoyed it, and I thank my

74
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: family up and down for allowing me to drag them

75
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: all the way out there to.

76
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: All right, gods to see it. We're going to see

77
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: someone today.

78
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: They'd rather be on the beach somewhere, you know, on

79
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: the east coast of Italy. So it was a good trip.

80
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe a little long. Been done that a trip

81
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: that long since my honeymoon. So you know, you get

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: to day ten. I mean, look, first world problems.

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: Right, I understand, I understand, live out of.

84
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: A bag, and you know, after about ten or eleven days,

85
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: you kind of miss your own bag. Yeah, that kind

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: of stuff.

87
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: I start to get like ten to eleven day of

88
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 4: turn of my limit, like I just want this is

89
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: I'm a crazy person. But I start to crave vegetables

90
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: because if you're in Europe, while you get vegetables with

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: some meal, it's not like vegetables are are readily available everywhere.

92
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: So I just am like, just give me a salad.

93
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 4: I just want some veggies, exactly veggies for the rest

94
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: of my life. I know I'm crazy, but that is

95
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: what I start to crave, exactly.

96
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: What said, She's like, can we like buy a salad anywhere? Like,

97
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: can we find one? Yeah's and then if you get

98
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: a salad in Italy.

99
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: Like tomatoes and cheese.

100
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: It's covered in olives on the top too, especially if

101
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: you're in southern Italy, and like we got a salad,

102
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: they were like thirty olives on top of I was like, okay,

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: they got a lot of these. I'm not surprised, but yeah,

104
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: it's it. You're right, it is hard to find vegetables

105
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: readily available. It's not on a lot of restaurant menus.

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: So I mean bread, pasta, carbs, carbs. Yeah, and then

107
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: it's pork and beef and that's not even a lot

108
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: of chicken.

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: It's interesting. It's it's an interesting difference. You realize very

111
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: quickly how good. We do have it here in the States.

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: Can eat a little bit of everything, not only.

113
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: From a variety of what you have to choose from

114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: to eat, you know, in a well balanced diet and

115
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: all that, but space, Like, we have an enormous amount

116
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: of space in this country. Anybody that's talking about the

117
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: US being overpopulated and any of that stuff, they're wrong,

118
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Like because just go to Europe. You got people living

119
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: in shoe boxes over there. It's crazy what they considered spacious.

120
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: And there are a lot more energy efficient than us too.

121
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no clothes dryers, Like you say dryer to

122
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: somebody and either they laugh at you. Yeah, and hang

123
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: your stuff outside.

124
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: Air conditioning you don't see that much of Yeah.

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Fortunately they in the airbnbs we were in, but yeah,

126
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: no dryers. They have washers and they're like the size

127
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: of your TV. So it's a different way of living,

128
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: and you really appreciate living here in the States a

129
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: whole lot more after experiencing that and seeing what other

130
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: people consider. You know, we're good. No need to do it,

131
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: you know, want waste not want not. It's just a

132
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: different way of living. But it was a great trip.

133
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: But good to be back and really coming back. We

134
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: heard a lot about this flying back from Europe. But

135
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: D Day being today June sixth, obviously nineteen forty four,

136
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: the Normandy invasion and all of that. We would be

137
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: remiss if we did not recognize and not only the

138
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: World War Two vets that made the ultimate sacrifice on

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: this day, but I think often all too forgotten are

140
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: the Korean War vets, the Vietnam war vets, even Golf

141
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: won Golf two, you know, all of them should be

142
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: recognized on big days like today, big anniversary dates like today.

143
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen on social media, you know, the

144
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: ninety plus year olds getting wheeled through the airports to

145
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: standing impromptu standing ovations like just oh my god. If

146
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: that doesn't tug at you, I don't know what does.

147
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: You're not a patriot if that doesn't get to you,

148
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: like even a little bit, Holy.

149
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: Cal get the waterworks going.

150
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: But really cool to see them honored yesterday and today.

151
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: They kind of roll it into like a three day

152
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: thing and just wonderful to see. I actually saw somebody

153
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: put on social media, Dwight Eisenhower, who obviously was the

154
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: commanding the commander of all Forces at the time. His letter.

155
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: Somebody got a hold of it or took I don't

156
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: know how they acquired it. Maybe it's available through Freedom

157
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: of Information Act. But the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force

158
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 2: letter to like all the people that were going to

159
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: be involved in theas. I'm assuming this was read to

160
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: the troops by you know, generals and everything. But just

161
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: really cool. I will just read the first paragraph because

162
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: it's I don't know, just to see it in print,

163
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: it's really cool. So it starts, Soldiers, sailors and airmen

164
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: of the Allied Expeditionary Force. Exclamation point. You're about to

165
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: embark upon the great crusade towards which we have striven

166
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 2: these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.

167
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march

168
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: with you, in company with our brave allies and brothers

169
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: in arms on other fronts. You will bring about the

170
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi

171
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for

172
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: ourselves in a free world. And it went on from there.

173
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 2: But holy cats, Yeah, like we think about Kyle Williams

174
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: pregame speeches for bills games like, could you imagine being

175
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: one of these dudes getting ready to jump in a

176
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: armored personnel carrier or an amphibious assault vehicle.

177
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: The utmost respect though, saviors.

178
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: Of the free World. I mean that's their that's their legacy.

179
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: Wow.

180
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: So you know, even young people like us who don't

181
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: come within a hair's whisper of what that time was like,

182
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you can't hold respect for what their achievement

183
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: represented because I don't know if we're living in a

184
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: free America because we were next. You know, they marched

185
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: through Europe. I mean, England was the last bastion and

186
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: before we stepped in and helped out.

187
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: But that's heavy stuff. We had a few players, Reid Ferguson,

188
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 4: I believe, Spencer Brown, Ryan vanderbarg Maybe not read Ferguson,

189
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 4: he's done in the past.

190
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: It was Ryan Vandermark and Spencer.

191
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 4: And Spencer Brown went on a honor flight just a

192
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: few weeks ago. We just actually posted it on Memorial

193
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: Day on our website and YouTube, So if you haven't

194
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: seen the video yet, they went to DC see with

195
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: a bunch of local veterans. Not exactly in relation to

196
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: D Day, but something along the same lines. It was

197
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: a really cool experience, really cool trip for those players

198
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: and for the local veterans to get to do something

199
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 4: like that with Bills players. The players always come back

200
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: feeling like transformed by the experience and the stories that

201
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: they got to heard from local veterans and just the

202
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: impact that it has on them. So go ahead and

203
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 4: watch that video if you have a yet, it's on

204
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills dot com.

205
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so big salute to the D Day vets, both

206
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: with us and no longer with us, for the sacrifices

207
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: that they made to keep our country free and to

208
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: basically liberate Europe from the grip of Nazi tyranny. So

209
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: really just wanted to make sure we recognize that today.

210
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: On a very somewhat scary note, today, as we go

211
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: around the NFL, which is presented by Kalida Healthy, official

212
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs

213
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 2: canceled all team activities scheduled for today after a medical

214
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: emergency for a player that occurred at the team facility. Today.

215
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: NFL Networks Tom Pellacero has leaked out additional details. Basically,

216
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: it was backup defensive lineman bj Thompson who suffered a

217
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 2: seizure during a special teams meeting. This didn't even happen

218
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: on the field, Wow, this happened in the meeting rooms.

219
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: Fortunately he is in stable condition because the seizure prompted

220
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: a cardiac arrest, but the athletic training staff fortunately sprung

221
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: into action and worked quickly. Ambulance was called, player was

222
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: rushed to the hospital and he is fortunately in stable condition.

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Because when these things first started crossing on social media, Maddie,

224
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if you felt the same way. The

225
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 2: first thing I thought of was, DeMar, I know anything

226
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: in medical emergency that can't be good.

227
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: Yep. I just I think we all in this building, bills, fans, players, coaches, anything.

228
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: Anytime you hear something see something like this, it just

229
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: triggers everyone in a different way. Who is involved with

230
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: the Deamar Hamlin situation. Obviously we're so happy he's here

231
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: and making plays in OTAs, but you feel for whoever

232
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: else is going through something like that.

233
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: And this was a little bit different because with this

234
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: happening in a team meeting room, like it's not like

235
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: the athletic training staff where the medical staff was they're

236
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: watching it unfold, right, they're like probably in their office

237
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: somewhere else in the building, and they're getting called immediately

238
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: and now they're running through the hallways, you know, with

239
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: an aed probably and who knows what else. And time

240
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: is of the essence, as we well know, having gone

241
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: through the Damar situation. So good to hear that he's

242
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: in stable condition, and you know, hopefully he's in a

243
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: place where the seizures can be controlled, either through medication

244
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: or some other means, so we can continue his football career,

245
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: because that's a very scary situation for sure. So glad

246
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: to hear that he is in stable condition. The Chiefs

247
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: obviously canceled well organized team activities today. There was supposed

248
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: to be media availability today, they canceled that It's been

249
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: rescheduled for tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Chiefs added another old piece

250
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: back to their offensive lineup, Nicole Hardman, back with Kansas City,

251
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: agreeing to a one year deal, presumably for the veteran minimum.

252
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know if he was going to be back

253
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: with them because his production has been largely a mixed bag.

254
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: He obviously had the big performance in the Super Bowl

255
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: against the Niners, but I just thought his production was

256
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: just too few and far between, Like he wasn't a

257
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: guy that could count on week to week, you know

258
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: what I mean. So I didn't know where and probably

259
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, because he went to the Jets. Let's not

260
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: forget he went to the Jets at this time last

261
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: year and by the middle of the season they released

262
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: him like they had no purpose for him, like they

263
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: were trying to find a role for him. They had

264
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: him on returns for a little while, and he just

265
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: wasn't producing for them. They release him. Chiefs pick him

266
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: up late last year. So I don't know. I guess

267
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: he's a good guy for them to have. They know

268
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: him well, they know where he can fit in their offense.

269
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: I just don't know if anybody should expect him to

270
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: be light in the world on fire.

271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so at this point.

272
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: I mean, he played for the Jets for five games,

273
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: had three targets, one catch for six.

274
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: Yards, and he couldn't get on the field.

275
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: So we'll see what he can do for the Chiefs.

276
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: The Chiefs have made lots of players look really good,

277
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: but this is somebody who spent quite some time a

278
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: part of that Chief's roster and He's shown up in

279
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: games and at certain points in big moments as well,

280
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: but definitely not somebody that's going to be catch passes

281
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: from Patrick Mahomes play after play after play.

282
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: I mean, because if you look at their depth Jar

283
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: right now, Raschie Rice, and is that guy going to

284
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: be available at the beginning of the season. Might Willy

285
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: be suspended, We don't know yet, but you would assume

286
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: something is going to get handed down by the league

287
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: in terms of discipline. Justin Watson, who was a role

288
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: player for them, Cornell Powell, who I'm gonna admit I

289
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: don't even know, Marky's Brown who they acquire in free agency,

290
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: Kadarius Tony who had his own set of problems last year,

291
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy, the top pick, Sky Moore who was a

292
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: former second round pick who I think, for the most

293
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: part has been somewhat of a disappointment. Justin Ross role player,

294
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: big target, has some ability, but just it hasn't manifested

295
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: itself yet. And then Montreal Washington, I think is an

296
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: undrafted rookie if I remember right, I mean, that's not

297
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: a light the world on fire receiving corps. Now, obviously

298
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: you have Mahomes, He's shown the ability to raise the

299
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: level of even an average But I mean that's a

300
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: group that's not exactly striking fear in me, you know,

301
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: if I'm the Bills defense. Even with all the changes

302
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: that the Bills defense has.

303
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: Had, Yeah, I mean, it's been interesting to see how

304
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: that wide receiver room has looked since Tyreek Hill has left.

305
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 4: And obviously the Chiefs have won two Super Bowls since

306
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 4: that has happened. So my expectations for a room that

307
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: doesn't have a lot of names in it again in

308
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 4: a third season is that Patrick Mahomes is going to

309
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 4: find a way to put them in the playoffs and

310
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 4: that they're going to be able to contend for Super

311
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 4: Bowl once again. I mean, hopefully this is the season

312
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 4: where that's not the case and the Bills or whoever

313
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: hopefully it's the Bills can can knock them out of

314
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 4: doing that. But the Bills have their own version of

315
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 4: that this season. Not saying that those guys on our

316
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 4: team are not worthy of being in the wide receivers room,

317
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 4: but there's no Stefan Diggs a part of the receiver's

318
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: room this season, and it'll be interesting to see if,

319
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: just like Patrick Mahomes did. If Josh Allen can do

320
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: the same thing, raising the level of the guys within

321
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 4: that room, that.

322
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: Is the challenge this yere for sure. NFL Commissioner Roger

323
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: Goodell's vision of adding an eighteenth regular season game to

324
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: the schedule is already being met with some resistance from

325
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: the players Association, as expected, and one particular player who

326
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: sounded off to some degree was cold center Ryan Kelly,

327
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: who was also a vice president of the union's executive committee,

328
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: and he made it clear he's got no appetite for

329
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: the expansion of the regular season. Here is a direct

330
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: quote from Kelly in reference to Goodell's talk of an

331
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: eighteenth game, and he made these comments on the Pad

332
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: McAfee show late yesterday. Quote, eighteen games sounds great when

333
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: Roger's saying it on Pad McAfee, But until you're the

334
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: one that's going out there and putting the helmet on

335
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: for eighteen of those games, then come talk to me.

336
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: So in other words, he's kind of using the easier

337
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: said than done line of thinking there. And I'm curious

338
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 2: to see what is the level of pushback and what

339
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: can the league and ownership offer the players to get

340
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: them to agree to that, and we've heard about this

341
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: potential offseason shift. I don't know if that's part of

342
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a bargaining chip or if

343
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: there's something else that they can offer. I would think too, Maddie,

344
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: even if you add a bye week and you have

345
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: a second bye week. If I'm the players Association, I'm

346
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: lobbying for bigger rosters and more jobs for players. That

347
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: would probably be where I'm coming from, Like, hey, look,

348
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: you want another game. Now you're putting more demand on bodies.

349
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: Rosters can't be fifty three players anymore. You've got to

350
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: expand that and give coaches the opportunity to have more

351
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: players available to them on a weekly basis. Now that

352
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: might get pushed back too, because the practice squad's already

353
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 2: up to sixteen players. I mean back in the day

354
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: it used to be seven. I mean it's more than

355
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: double that now. So I don't know how that's all

356
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: going to shake out. But I am most interested to

357
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: see what the bargaining chips are that are going to

358
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: be offered to the players to say, hey, this is happening.

359
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: If you want something, ask for it now kind of thing,

360
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: and then what those things.

361
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: Are Yeah, there are definitely things that can sweeten the

362
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: deal for the players to sign off on an eighteen

363
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 4: game schedule. I was listening to the Adam Schefter podcast,

364
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: the episode that Keon Coleman was on, and after the interviewer.

365
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: Before the interview, Adam Schefter was talking about what players

366
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 4: could want ideas of things that could sweeten this deal

367
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: when asking for an eighteen game schedule, and one idea

368
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: and concept that he brought up that has been talked

369
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 4: about is having a percentage within the team the players

370
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: instead of salary or as a part of their salary,

371
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 4: give me a percentage of what the team is worth.

372
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: The owners have that an equity stake, Yes, equity stake,

373
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: a stake in the team.

374
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: Wow, well, we do know that there are owners that

375
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: are interested in selling off a portion of equity in

376
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: the teams. Bills are among those teams. And it's in

377
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: an effort in many cases to make those owners more

378
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: liquid to take care of other expenses and things that

379
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: they want to invest in regarding the team. And you're

380
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: not giving up any decision making power, You're just kind

381
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 2: of making yourself more liquid to do, whether it's day

382
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: to day business, long range planning business and you have

383
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: the capital available to you to execute that. Whether they

384
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: would do it for players that is who, that's a

385
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: whole nother toe, a whole other pool. You're dipping your

386
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: toe in right in that kind of situation. Be interesting

387
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: to see if that comes to pass. Odell Beckham Junior,

388
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: as we know, signed a deal to play for the

389
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins. That happened about a month ago, but he

390
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: has yet to step on the practice field with his teammates,

391
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: and it doesn't look like he's going to do it

392
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: at their mandatory mini camp this week. Sounds as though

393
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: he's not going to really be practicing until they get

394
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 2: to training camp. Head coach Mike McDaniel asked about it

395
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: and set in consultation with their head athletic trainer. They

396
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 2: decided Beckham's going to be kept out of practice and

397
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 2: not sued up. So more of a coach's decision than

398
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: anything else. And you know, for a veteran player who

399
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 2: they know who he is, they know what he can do,

400
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: and has two ACL knee injuries. Yeah, this is I

401
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: don't have to tell you this, but for our listeners,

402
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: this is the most terrifying time of year for general managers,

403
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: personnel executives, and coaches. When the players are at risk

404
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: to injury anytime they step on the field, the last

405
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: thing they want is a guy having a serious injury

406
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: right before they take a break before training.

407
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 4: Cap and there already have been some serious injuries that

408
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: have happened across the league's across the league during OTA practices.

409
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 4: At this point in your career, Odell Beckham Junior, you

410
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 4: dealt with an ankle injury last season, He'll be fine.

411
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: I don't. I would want to be careful as well.

412
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: If I was the Dolphins, and if I was their

413
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: coaching staff, part of their athletic training staff. It makes

414
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: sense to want to be as careful as possible when

415
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 4: you're dealing with the veteran player who has been susceptible

416
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 4: to injury in the past.

417
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: Elsewhere in receiver news, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed

418
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: Giants free agent receiver Sterling Shepard to a one year deal.

419
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: He spent his first eight seasons with the Giants, his

420
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: whole career. There was a draft pick of Theirs eight

421
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: years ago. Now finally moving on to a new team,

422
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: and you know, the Bucks have been kind of sneaky

423
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: quiet with some of the acquisitions that they've made this offseason.

424
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: They've had some losses too, Don't get me wrong. They

425
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 2: lost their best pass rusher in Shaq Barrett, among others.

426
00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: So it's been an interesting outdoor and indoor the Bucks

427
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: this offseason in a division that has kind of got flipped,

428
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: you know, with Atlanta getting Kirk Cousins, they're kind of

429
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: considered the favorite to now win that division. The Saints

430
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: are kind of muddling through their annual cap problems, and

431
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: then the Bucks I think were pleasantly surprised with what

432
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: they got out of Baker Mayfield. They signed them to

433
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: an extension for one hundred something million dollars, and you know,

434
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 2: they still have Evans, they still have Godwin. Now you're

435
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: adding Shepherd as a presumably somewhat of a slot option

436
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: to the mix. So people are intrigued as to what

437
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: the Bucks can do and whether or not they can

438
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: compete with the Falcons. You know, in the NFC South,

439
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 2: I know, it's a division that's largely forgotten by Bills

440
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: fans because they're not even in the same conference, and

441
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: that was one of the worst divisions in football last year.

442
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was terrible.

443
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: I know the Bucks have an opportunity to do something.

444
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, Elkins for sure, but those two teams

445
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 4: should be duking it out for whoever's gonna be crowned

446
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 4: NFC South Champion at the end of the season.

447
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: And on a much lighter note, as we wrap up

448
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: around the NFL here, the Minnesota Vikings have unveiled their

449
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: new alternate uniform for this season. They call it their

450
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 2: Winter Warrior uniform. It's an all white look with purple numbers.

451
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: The Vikings horn on the helmet is still white and

452
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: outlined in purple. Helmet's completely white, so pretty clean look.

453
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: It kind of reminds me, Maddie of the Bill Stormtrooper

454
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: look when they go all white. It's been very well

455
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 2: received by Vikings fans based on some of the comments

456
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: I was looking at. They like it. It's basically purple numbers,

457
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: purple name plates, and that's about it. Everything's white everywhere

458
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: else except for the purple stripe on the top of

459
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 2: the helmet and the purple outline for the horn. And

460
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: it's fascinating to me from this standpoint. Back in the

461
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: early two thousands, everything was about incorporating black into your uniform.

462
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: Like even the Bills were trying to find ways to

463
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: do that and they ended up going navy blue. And

464
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: we won't get into what a mistake that was, but

465
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: a lot of teams incorporated black into their uniforms, not

466
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: only in the NFL but the NBA, and now it's

467
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: gone to the other end. It's everybody's trying to find

468
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: a way to use white now. It seems to me

469
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: remember the Bengals with their Bengal White Tiger. It seems

470
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: like we're going that way now, which is such a

471
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: It's literally the opposite of where everybody was going twenty

472
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: something years ago.

473
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: It looks like the helmets are definitely very It's a

474
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: minimalist looking helmet with just the horns.

475
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: I think that's a good description, and I like them.

476
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of whites. I also like the black too.

477
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 4: I'm when it comes to uniforms, I'm not somebody who's.

478
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 3: Like traditional uniforms are the best. Why would you do

479
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: an alternate.

480
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: I'm for the alternate if the players like and they

481
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: feel like it makes them look cooler, so then they'll

482
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 4: play better on the field.

483
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they.

484
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: Look cool The crazy thing is, at least according to

485
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: the write up, they're only gonna wear these on week fifteen,

486
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 2: So I'm assuming that's there. We still have the color

487
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: Rush games now on Thursday nights. I don't even know

488
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: Week fifteen is the week they're gonna use it. I

489
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 2: don't know if they're gonna wear them again. Maybe if

490
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: they make the playoffs, they'll get an extra chance to

491
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 2: wear them if they want. But yeah, one and done. Like,

492
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, I would at least try to lobby

493
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: to wear them two.

494
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: Or three wearing a few times.

495
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 4: If you're gonna release an all white uniform, I mean,

496
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: ye see you wear it a few times.

497
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would kind of be what I'm in favor of.

498
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: But that is around the NFL brought to you by

499
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: Colida Health. We do have a topic of discussion for

500
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: you today, and it concerns Buffalo's roster build. What has

501
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: you most encouraged about the Bills roster build this off season?

502
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean and his personnel department have pretty much put

503
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: all their hay in the barn to this point. There

504
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: might be a minor signing here or there based on,

505
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, a need due to an injury perhaps, or

506
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: maybe somebody shakes out of the trees that they weren't

507
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: expected to be available and they can have them at

508
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: an affordable price. But I think the roster for the

509
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: most part is looking how it's going to look. So

510
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: what has you most encouraged about the bills roster build

511
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: this off season? You can let us know at eight

512
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 2: oh three zero, five point fifty one eight eight eight

513
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five point fifty those are the numbers

514
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: to get on board. If you don't have time to

515
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: do that, you can always hit us up on the

516
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: tweet sheet at One Bill's Live. But you let us

517
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: know there's something that you liked. Maybe there's a position

518
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: that got hit with up tunt of depth editions and

519
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: you're happy about that because it was a concern going

520
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: into the off season. You can let us know. Maybe

521
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: it's a specific player that you either loved in the

522
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: draft and the Bill's got them, or some veteran free

523
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: agent signing that has you encouraged. You let us know

524
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 2: what that is, and we'll be taking your phone calls

525
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 2: when we come back here. On a Thursday edition of

526
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

527
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: All right here on a Thursday edition a one Bill's Live,

528
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: Chris Brown mediclab with you and asking you today topic

529
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: of discussion, what has you most encouraged about the Bill's

530
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: roster build this offseason? I think we all had in

531
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 2: our mind's eye what had to happen. I think to

532
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: some degree we feared what might also need to take

533
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: place in terms of subtractions because of the salary cap situation,

534
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: and we witnessed that and some of it was a

535
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: little painful. But what has you encouraged now that we've

536
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: come out from under all of that to see what

537
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: the roster for all intents and purposes, is going to

538
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: look like rolling into September. I think only with a

539
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: few minor changes perhaps here and there, either based on

540
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: injury or some other circumstance of maybe a player coming

541
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: free from another roster that was unanticipated. You let us

542
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: know what part of this roster build that Brandon be

543
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: and Sean McDermott the personnel department undertook. Has you most

544
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: encouraged about the outlook for the twenty twenty four campaign

545
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: eight h three zero five point fifty one eight eight

546
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two, five fifty. Those are the numbers

547
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: to get on board tweet sheet at one. Bill's Live

548
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: is also an avenue for you to use if you

549
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: don't have time to give us a jingle here this afternoon.

550
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: Is there anything that sits at the top of your

551
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: list in that category?

552
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: Manager, I think at the top of my list is

553
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: I know we've talked so much about this position group

554
00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: already and will continue to do so. But with the

555
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: departure of Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis, the wide receiver

556
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 4: room started to look very different. You start to wonder,

557
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 4: what is this offense gonna look like? With two important

558
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: pieces that have been a part of the offense for

559
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 4: several seasons, how do you make up those targets? When

560
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: it comes to salary cap the Bills didn't have a

561
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: lot of money to spend, so what will that look like?

562
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 4: Now we know what it looks like. And I love

563
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: what Brandon Bean did to fill the room. It's not

564
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: the who's who of wide receivers, which I think that

565
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 4: is okay at this point in Josh Allen's NFL career,

566
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 4: but you have several pieces a part of this room,

567
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: and the cream I believe is gonna rise to the top.

568
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: You've got a bunch of different guys who have a

569
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 4: bunch of different skill sets. You draft a wide receiver,

570
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: you get bigger and stronger in that position.

571
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: Group.

572
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 4: It's a new look from how it has looked in

573
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: the past, which I love that it's something different.

574
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: Maybe this is what.

575
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 4: The group needs to to move to get over the hump,

576
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 4: to do better than they have in the past. But

577
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 4: Brandon being kind of threw some darts with the wide receiver.

578
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 4: You know, you you throw some darts on the dartboard.

579
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: You figure out, Okay, here's what we got, Here's here's

580
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: where it's gonna land. And I can't wait to see

581
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 4: what that looks like come training camp. We've gotten a

582
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 4: taste of it already, but adding a slew of players

583
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: in terms of Kurtis, Samuel mccollins, Marc Hazveldez, Scantling, you

584
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 4: draft Keon Coleman.

585
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir Returns.

586
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: I'm a fan of what we have in that in

587
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 4: the in the wide receiver's room right now, and I'm

588
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 4: excited to see what it looks like because I think

589
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: going into the off season without Stefan Diggs and without

590
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: Gabe Davis, everybody was a little bit Everybody that was

591
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 4: not a part of the coaching staff, a part of

592
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: the scouting department might have been a little bit worried of,

593
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 4: uh oh, how can this team take another step without

594
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: some really important pieces, without some really talented players. And

595
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean figured it out. He figured out what we

596
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: need to add here, what does this room need to

597
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 4: look like? What do I want? What type of skill

598
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: sets do I want to be a part of it?

599
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: And he went out and grabbed those guys and now

600
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 4: we've got a lot of We've got fourteen wide receivers

601
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 4: on the roster right now. That number is not going

602
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 4: to be like that when we get to the fifty

603
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 4: three man roster. But I like that he has a

604
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: lot of options there, and I believe the best guys

605
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 4: are going to show themselves throughout mandatory mini camp here

606
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 4: coming up and training camp.

607
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: And I'm really.

608
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: Excited about what this group is going to be once

609
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: Week one hits.

610
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: I really like what happened in terms of roster build

611
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: on the offensive and defensive lines. I know you lost

612
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: Mitch Morse and that's a loss. I'm not going to

613
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: debate that for a second. It unquestionably is. But to

614
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: get David Edwards back, who I think is starting caliber,

615
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 2: to kind of mitigate that loss, and then to get

616
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: a player like Lyle Collins, a seven year starter in

617
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: this league, who if he's not going to start, he's

618
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: your swing tackle. To get a seven year starter to

619
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: potentially be your swing tackle, that is insane depth for

620
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 2: my money. To land a player of that caliber really

621
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: says something. And then taking it a step further, what

622
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: they did on the defensive front, where I think we

623
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: all knew there were going to be some potential losses

624
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: there as well, maybe more of the role player variety,

625
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: but you knew you were going to lose a ten

626
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: and a half sack guy in Leonard Floyd and probably

627
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: not replace him with the same kind of player salary

628
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: type talent. But I like what they've done here to

629
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 2: massage that position and mitigate the losses there as well.

630
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: First of all, most importantly, you get Daikwon Jones back.

631
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: I'm really happy about that. I thought he was the

632
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: most important defensive piece to get back in the fold.

633
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: But then you add a high motor, never doubt what

634
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna get out of him type player in casey

635
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: two hill to play on the edge. You add depth

636
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: behind Daikwon and Ed Oliver in Austin Johnson, who's a

637
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: former college teammate of day Kwon's, knows him well, can

638
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: vouch for him. And then late in the game you

639
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: get Dwayne Duan Smoot. It's like that's a quality rotational

640
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: player to put in the mix. So I'm really encouraged

641
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: by what they did in the trenches here yet again

642
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: in an offseason, and this is not the first time

643
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: that we've seen Brandon Bean do that. You can go

644
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 2: all the way back to twenty eighteen when the line

645
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: was a mess. Josh Allen's getting hurt because he's getting hit,

646
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: and they get four new linemen in here for the

647
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen season, and they flipped the script from a

648
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: six to ten team to a ten and sixteam and

649
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. And he was doing large part to

650
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: how they retooled the offensive line in one off season.

651
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 2: They didn't have to do that kind of overhaul this offseason.

652
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: But what they did on both sides of the line

653
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: of scrimmage has me encouraged that they're gonna be able

654
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: to hold that line and still perform the way we've

655
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: seen them in recent years. That's kind of where I

656
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: come down on it. But we want to know what

657
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 2: you think. At eight h three zero five point fifty

658
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: won eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty and

659
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: we lead off today with Andrew in Ontario. What do

660
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 2: you got for is? Andrew?

661
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 6: Hey, Chris and Maddie, thanks so much for having me on.

662
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 6: I want to say, that's the thing I love the

663
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: most about what we've got from the loss right now

664
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 6: is how cheap the wide receiver room is. Like you said,

665
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 6: it's pretty incredible that it seems like we might be

666
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 6: able to make up won't be lost in those two

667
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 6: amazing players and Dave and Diggs. But not only did

668
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 6: we seemingly do it, we might have done it while

669
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 6: making Curtis Samuel the highest played paid receiver we've got

670
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 6: on the team, which is just incredible. I think, and if,

671
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 6: and of course it's a big if, but if the

672
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 6: passing game is successful this year, I think you've got

673
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 6: to start to wonder if the Bills can ever justify

674
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 6: paying a big name to a receiver like you know,

675
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 6: are you going to pay twenty five million to a

676
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 6: top guy thirty million to a top guy. I mean,

677
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 6: if Josh is successful with Curtis Samuel, maybe a guy

678
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 6: like Chase Claypool and Keon Coleman, You've got a wonder.

679
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 6: Can we ever justify paying for a big name receiver

680
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 6: while Josh is that quarterback? So I love how cheap

681
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 6: the receiver room is.

682
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that that's a good point, Andrew, and I

683
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: will say, you got a credit the Chiefs here for

684
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 2: going that route.

685
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 3: Put the blueprint out there.

686
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: You know they have a superstar quarterback. Hey, Tyreek wants

687
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: thirty how about no and trading him now, also with

688
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: the assets you get back, you got to hit on

689
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: those two. But the Chiefs and Bret Veach their GM,

690
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: to their credit, have been a very good drafting club

691
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: as well, and they made that work. Now Mahomes came

692
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 2: through for them as well. But I think the Bills

693
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: feel similarly about Josh and say we can't pay a

694
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 2: receiver twenty eight to thirty million a year. We need

695
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: our superstar quarterback to raise the level of our receiving room.

696
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: And you get the right mix of players, you know,

697
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 2: you could be in the same situation as the Chiefs are.

698
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 2: You know, Their offense isn't top four, top five, but

699
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: they're certainly top ten and good enough and scoring enough

700
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 2: points to win football games with a defense that got

701
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 2: retooled and was probably the strength of their team last year.

702
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Bills are going to look

703
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 2: like that, But Curtis Samuel for eight million a year

704
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: to me, with the way the receips market is these days,

705
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: to me, that's that's a very team friendly contract when

706
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: he's your highest speed paid guy on the roster at receiver.

707
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 4: Right, and as a as a GM, as a scouting department,

708
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 4: you have to look at.

709
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 3: Who are we paying? What are our goals here?

710
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 4: We have one of the best quarterbacks, if not the

711
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 4: best in the NFL. We're also paying a left tackle,

712
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 4: We're paying an edge rusher and Von Miller. Where else

713
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: where can we cut? Where else do we need to

714
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 4: give somebody some good money to stay on this roster?

715
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: And then you fill in the pieces with what's left.

716
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: And they believed, hey, let's let's go with some wide

717
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 4: receivers who aren't worth as much money, but we believe

718
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 4: if we put them together, maybe they'll perform like a

719
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 4: thirty million dollar wide receiver in the targets that they're

720
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 4: going to share this season.

721
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: And for the.

722
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 4: Chiefs, the regular season was all about the defense and

723
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 4: the offense, their stats that they were putting up, their

724
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 4: points averages per game where it was nothing like what

725
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 4: it had been in the past. But you get to

726
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 4: the playoffs and their offense took off in the playoffs

727
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 4: for sure.

728
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know they were a team that had

729
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 2: to play on the road last year for the first time.

730
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 2: And what they often say, old coaches say this more

731
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: than modern day coaches. I guess defense travels in the playoffs.

732
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: Offense doesn't always travel. Defense does. So if your defense

733
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: can hold you in a game where you're not lighting

734
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 2: up the scoreboard, you know you can you can survive

735
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: in advance. And the Chiefs defense did that in a

736
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: big way. I mean they held the Ravens to what

737
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: nineteen points I think, and then they held the Niners

738
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: to nineteen as well before they got a field goal

739
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: and overtime. Am I right? Am I remembering this right?

740
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: I think you're remembering it right. I'm pulling up I'm

741
00:40:58,719 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: pulling up the.

742
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean stats, I think everybody would agree

743
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: the defense was the strength of the Chiefs team last year.

744
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 4: Now, seventeen to was the score against the Ravens.

745
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, ten points they held them. I mean, come on,

746
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: so yeah, their defense was huge and it traveled because

747
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: they were playing on the road here and in Baltimore.

748
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean that was the difference for them,

749
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 2: and they decided, Look, we're not going to pay one

750
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: guy thirty million a year. We're going to have a

751
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: more democratic approach to our ball distribution in the passing game. Obviously,

752
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: we're going to still go through Kelsey, who makes a

753
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 2: lot of money himself, but much less so because he

754
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: had a tight end position, which doesn't command as much.

755
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: How will it work here in Buffalo, I don't know,

756
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: but I think they believe that they want to at

757
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: least explore a more democratic distribution of the passing targets.

758
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: Instead of throwing one hundred and sixty to one guy,

759
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 2: let's spread it out a little bit more. Not tremendously,

760
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: because I think Kinkaid could have ad and ten or

761
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty by the time the year's out,

762
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 2: but I think there will be a more democratic distribution

763
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: of targets. And I think they want to see if

764
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: they're a if they're a more efficient offense and maybe

765
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: even a little bit more unpredictable offense because it's not like, hey,

766
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: it's third and three, they're going to digs, you know

767
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 2: what I mean.

768
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 4: You don't know if it's gonna work unless you try it.

769
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: And they haven't been to the super Bowl yet with

770
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, so it makes sense that you're tweaking things,

771
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 4: you're retooling things to figure out what is it that

772
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,479
Speaker 4: is gonna make us get to what our players call

773
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 4: the Promised Land.

774
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, break time for us here, but more of your

775
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: calls when we come back. So stay where we are.

776
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 2: If you're holding at eight h three oh five fifty,

777
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 2: we'll get to you when we return here. On one

778
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: Bill's Live presented by Collide Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

779
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live Thursday edition, Chris Brown Maddy Lab with

780
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: you and discussing what part of the off season roster

781
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: build has you encouraged for twenty twenty four. Are going

782
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: to go right back to the phones and go to

783
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: Mark in Jersey City. How are we doing?

784
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 1: Mark?

785
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 7: Uh? Good afternoon? How thanks to taking my call? The

786
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 7: ripping off of the band aid as harsh as that

787
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 7: sounds just the whole running back thing. I saw, particularly

788
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 7: in critical times a year, they got a little stale.

789
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 7: It's kind of like here we go again against the

790
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 7: Chiefs and the playoffs or just game the Bengals where

791
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 7: the team. I always felt like that happened with the

792
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 7: nineties teams. It just that group got a little long

793
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 7: on a two, so a little like they needed to

794
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 7: freshen up because all those psychological demons just kind of

795
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 7: creep back in at the at the point of you know,

796
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 7: you know where they have to finally get over that

797
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 7: proverbial hump, as cliche as that sounds, just bringing in

798
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 7: all the fresh faces, just you know, as much as

799
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 7: we you know, like the players and you know, the

800
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 7: names and the faces, just the freshening up of that group.

801
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 7: You know, kalilshak Here had to as many touchdowns in

802
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 7: the playoffs all last year than Stefan Diggs in the

803
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 7: entire Bill Square. That's kind of staggering and jarring when

804
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 7: you look at it.

805
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: No, No, I think it's a valid point, Mark and

806
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: I agree. I think they felt they gave the core

807
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: of the group that they had had since McDermott walked

808
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 2: in the door more than enough time to make it work.

809
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: They couldn't clear the hurdle, which was the Chiefs, not

810
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: that anybody else really could either, with the exception of

811
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: the Bengals in the AFC, and they decided, you know,

812
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: salary cap wise, we got to kind of turn the

813
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: page and shed some salary here, and probably formula wise

814
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: in terms of what we want the makeup of this

815
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: team to be, we got to tweak it a little

816
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: and try a different formula going forward if we're going

817
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 2: to try to change the outcome at.

818
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 4: The end of the season, and salary cap wise can

819
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 4: also help dictate what move you're going to make. Right,

820
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 4: you can kind of get forced into making a decision

821
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 4: based on how much money you feel like you have

822
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 4: to save or how much money you feel like you

823
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 4: can spend. It's really hard to figure out when is

824
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 4: the perfect time to make a big move like this,

825
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: When is the perfect time to retool an entire position group,

826
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 4: to rework an entire position group. Sometimes it's better doing

827
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 4: it a year too early rather than a year too late.

828
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: But it's hard to pinpoint did we make the right decision,

829
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 4: and we're not going to know that until we are

830
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 4: through more than half the season, I believe of maybe, hey,

831
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 4: was this the right thing? How does the group look

832
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 4: right now? How are the Bills performing offensively? Where they

833
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 4: where do they rank with other teams? What's their record

834
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 4: right now? Right now, we're looking at practices where we're

835
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 4: going to one OTA practice a week, will be at

836
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 4: mandatory mini camp practices next week, training camp following that,

837
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 4: and training camp, I believe, is really when you and

838
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 4: I get to get to start to see what this

839
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 4: foster is going to look like, how they're going to operate,

840
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 4: how they're going to gel. It's it's tough right now

841
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 4: going to just one OTA practice a week when these

842
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 4: guys are learning the playbook and walking through things slowly,

843
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 4: rightfully so because they're trying to get everything down.

844
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: I feel like training camp is the.

845
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 4: Time where we will start to be able to form

846
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 4: opinions on what it's going to look like.

847
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: Way it most closely resembles real football because the pads

848
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: are on. Let's go to George on a sale. What

849
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: do you got for us? George?

850
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 6: How's the go on?

851
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 5: Guys good and girl? You know by h why they

852
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 5: don't get over the hunk? I watch them every year

853
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 5: and it's like their defense crumbles at when they're playing

854
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 5: these elite teams in the playoffs, and this organization says

855
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 5: they say, I don't know if I believe it or not,

856
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 5: that it all starts with differential blonde. I don't think

857
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 5: they believe that because they knew how small Oliver was

858
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 5: when they drafted them. They knew he was undersized and

859
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 5: that he would need somebody next to him. What do

860
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 5: they do. They've been selling it in with the rental players.

861
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 5: I don't care how good they are. Your homegrown guy

862
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 5: are gonna are the ones gonna be the come true

863
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 5: for you? And why I was so upset when they

864
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 5: took Coleman instead of another defensive tackle to play next

865
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 5: to Oliver. We meet our own guys, and we are

866
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 5: never getting over that bump in my opinion, until they

867
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 5: do that.

868
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: All right, They're entitled to your opinion, Georgia. You know

869
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: you wanted them to draft a defensive lineman early. They

870
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 2: drafted one in the third round, so there's that. I mean,

871
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a rotational player. I don't think he's

872
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: gonna start because he did get day Kwon Jones back

873
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 2: in the fold, who statistically, and the analytics experts will

874
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: tell you is one of the best run defenders at

875
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: the position, or at least he was before he got

876
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 2: hurt last year in the league, and was pretty close

877
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 2: to the top of the year before that. So I

878
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: don't know if I would call him a rental player.

879
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: I think that's an insult to Daikwan Jones. I think

880
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: he's far better than that. And I think Austin Johnson,

881
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: who they picked up in free agency from the Chargers,

882
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: is a pretty damn good player as well. If you're talking,

883
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 2: I mean, you're clearly talking about beef upfront. If you're

884
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: complaining about Ed Oliver size, they'll have the beef. I'm

885
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 2: not really worried about that, And to say they've neglected it,

886
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: I think is a little foolhardy, because von Miller is

887
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: the best pass rusher of his generation. He just unfortunately

888
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: had a major knee injury twelve games into his tenure

889
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 2: with the Bills. I mean, he had eight sacks in

890
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: eleven games before he got hurt, and he hasn't been

891
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 2: the same since. I think they're hoping that he looks

892
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: more like the old Vaughn this year. Knowing that they're

893
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: going to need him coming off the edge. So I mean,

894
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 2: that's kind of where that sits right wrong.

895
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 4: Or I also believe if they wanted to take a

896
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 4: defensive tackle at the end of the first round or

897
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 4: the top of the second, if they were to trade

898
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 4: out of this the first round go grab a defensive lineman,

899
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 4: they would have done that. The value must have not

900
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 4: been worth it to go after a defensive tackle or

901
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 4: an edge rusher in the first round based on how

902
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 4: their boards looked defensive tackles who went after Keon Coleman,

903
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 4: Jerzon Newton was one of those guys to Andre Sweat,

904
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 4: Brandon Fisk.

905
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 3: We didn't see a lot of defensive.

906
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 4: Tackles go off the board in the first round. We

907
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 4: saw some edge rushers there.

908
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: But the dreams he's got a foot problem.

909
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, says.

910
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 2: Availability might be compromised too, and that was a factor.

911
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 2: That's why he slipped to the second round. We do

912
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 2: have to take a break here, and don't forget Dwayne Carter.

913
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: As I mentioned in the third round, he's going to

914
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 2: play on Sundays. I'm pretty convinced of that. I'm already

915
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: getting some Kyle Williams vibes from him. That's just me personally,

916
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 2: not anybody else. We'll see if he has that kind

917
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 2: of an impact as a young player. Break time for us.

918
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 2: When we come back, We've got a guest coming your way.

919
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,879

Speaker 2: into the show. It's been putting together the offseason content.

930
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 2: The grind never stops, as Marcus Well knows, and actually

931
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 2: you just put something up today, I believe. On the

932
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: thirty third Team ranking the NFL's top eight offensive skill

933
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: set positions basically their cores heading into the twenty twenty

934
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: four season, Bills did make the list. They check in

935
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 2: at number seven, and we understand why they're down a

936
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: few pegs. You know, you lose somebody the caliber of

937
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: a Stefan Diggs, that's bound to happen. But I guess,

938
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 2: first question out of the box here, Marcus, why still

939
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: worthy of being in the top eight as far as

940
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 2: skill position groups go?

941
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 8: Because you have Josh Allen. I mean, that's really as

942
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 8: simple as it is.

943
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 9: As long as you have Josh Allen and he's healthy,

944
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 9: they're going to be one of the top seven or

945
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 9: eight offenses in the league. So that part, I mean

946
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 9: is easy. I still like the skilled players on this

947
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 9: offense quite a bit. You had James Cook last year

948
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 9: who was absolutely incredible down the stretch. Dalton Kincaid averaged

949
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 9: over fifty yards a game from Week seven on. You

950
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 9: like some of the down roster receivers quite a bit,

951
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 9: and if they can get anything from some of the

952
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 9: new additions at wide receiver Kean Coleman, Curtis Samuel mac collins,

953
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 9: I have no reason to believe that this offense isn't

954
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 9: going to be special again. So just to sum it up,

955
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 9: you have Josh Allen, You're always going to be in

956
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 9: a good.

957
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 4: Spot when it comes to pieces that are a part

958
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 4: of that offensive.

959
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 3: Core.

960
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 4: You also wrote something on wide receivers poised for breakouts.

961
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 4: Is there any one a part of the offense that

962
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 4: you think is ready for a breakout year this season?

963
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 9: So I'm glad that you asked me that because now

964
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 9: I get to talk about Khalil Shakir, who might be

965
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 9: my favorite under the radar player.

966
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 8: In the NFL.

967
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 9: I know Bill Spans no Khalils Shakeir, but I'm not

968
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 9: sure the national football fan realizes how good Khalils she

969
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 9: Care is and what his ceiling could be in this offense.

970
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 9: Every time Buffalo gave him an opportunity to produce.

971
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 8: Over the last two years, he's made big plays.

972
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 9: We saw in the playoff game against the Steelers the

973
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 9: incredible catch and the play that he made after the catch.

974
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 9: I'm not suggesting that he's going to be a number

975
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 9: one receiver or he's going to be a one for

976
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 9: one replacement for Stefan Diggs, but I do think Khalis

977
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 9: Shaker can be a really impactful receiver on a very

978
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 9: good offense. I'm really excited to see what he looks

979
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 9: like in year three.

980
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just had one of the one of the

981
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: regular callers into our show is Stuteley point out he's

982
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: got more playoff touchdowns already than Diggs had in his

983
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 2: four years here. And I don't know how closely you

984
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 2: watched that Bill's Chiefs playoff game, but first half of

985
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: the game, Spagnolo has got Lugeriusnaed on Diggs. Second half

986
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 2: he's got him on Shakir. To me, that said a

987
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 2: lot just watching that unfold through the course of that

988
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 2: game in the AFC Divisional playoff.

989
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 9: And that's what I'm gonna be interested to see here

990
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 9: in year three is how much time does he spend

991
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 9: on the outside, Because for the better majority of his

992
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 9: career right now in Buffalo, he's been a slot guy,

993
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 9: and even going back to Boise State, he's been a

994
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 9: slot guy. But you look at the size, and you

995
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 9: know about two hundred pounds six foot ran in the

996
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 9: four fours. He's not all that different in terms of

997
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 9: size than Stefan Diggs. And again I'm not suggesting a

998
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 9: full time role on the outside for Khaliosha Kira, but

999
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 9: can he give Buffalo fifteen twenty snaps a game as

1000
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 9: an outside receiver. If the answer is yes, then the

1001
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 9: sky is a limit for him because I think he

1002
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 9: can truly be one of the best route running slash

1003
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 9: You know, yak receivers in the NFL that could play

1004
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 9: in the outside, they could play in the slot.

1005
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 8: Those guys are pretty rare to find.

1006
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 4: If you look at what the Bills did this offseason

1007
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 4: in terms of the wide receiver position. So like they

1008
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 4: got a little bit bigger and stronger with drafting a

1009
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 4: player like Kean Coleman. You know, you add Mac Collins

1010
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 4: to the mix. MVS has some size as well in

1011
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 4: terms of how tall he is.

1012
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 3: But they also add a player like Curtis.

1013
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 4: Samuel who adds speed to the roster.

1014
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 3: He made your.

1015
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 4: List as the NFL's fastest players at number nineteen. How

1016
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 4: will that speed transition into what he can do for

1017
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 4: Buffalo's offense.

1018
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm really excited to see Curtis Samuel back in

1019
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 9: at Joe Brady offense because when he was with him

1020
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 9: in Carolina, that's when Samuel was playing his best football

1021
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,959
Speaker 9: of his career. I'm not sure he's a full time

1022
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 9: slot receiver. He certainly isn't a full time outside receiver,

1023
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 9: but he's somebody that you just want to get the

1024
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 9: football too. And whether that's on jet sweeps, screens, bubble routes,

1025
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 9: drag routes. There's a lot you can do with Curtis Samuel.

1026
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 9: He is one of the fastest players in the league.

1027
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 9: He is so dynamic with the football at his hands.

1028
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 9: And I love what Buffalo is doing with their wide receivers.

1029
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 9: Rather than trying to go out and find a number

1030
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 9: one receiver, and those ones they're hard to find, they're rare.

1031
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 9: Find guys that fit the offense well and that can

1032
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 9: make life on Josh Allen easy. I think Khalil Shakir

1033
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 9: does that. I think daltonkin Ka does that because he

1034
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 9: can get open so quickly, and I certainly think Curtis

1035
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 9: Samuel can do that back into Joe Brady offense.

1036
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 2: So what I mean, I guess the Chiefs deserve credit

1037
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: for the blueprint on this Marcus, because you know, they said, yeah,

1038
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: that's nice, Tyreek, you want to make thirty million a year,

1039
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: how about no, and traded him and decided to go

1040
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: with I guess, to a certain extent, a little bit

1041
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 2: more of a democratic distribution of targets, at least at

1042
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 2: the receiver position. Kelsey was still going to get his

1043
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty every year,

1044
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: and they made it work, relying on a superstar quarterback

1045
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: to raise the level and get a democratic distribution of

1046
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 2: targets to work at least well enough with a retool defense,

1047
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 2: which is a whole nother story. I kind of feel

1048
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 2: like the Bills are taking that same kind of democratic

1049
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 2: approach to baul distribution. Maybe it is Kincaid the target

1050
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 2: leader at the end of the year with one and

1051
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 2: ten one hundred and fifteen, but receiver group wise, it

1052
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 2: looks like it's going to be a lot more democratic.

1053
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: It's not going to be one hundred and fifty to

1054
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: digs obviously.

1055
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 5: No.

1056
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 9: And the Chiefs aren't the first team to do this either.

1057
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 9: I mean, we remember a lot of the Tom Brady

1058
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 9: New England Patriots teams I did the same thing, where

1059
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 9: it was Julian Edelman that was their leading top target

1060
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 9: getter from the slot, and just a bunch of guys,

1061
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 9: whether it was maybe the Saints with Drew Brees, they

1062
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 9: had Jimmy Graham obviously was their number one target as

1063
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 9: a tight end, but the rest of the receivers were

1064
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 9: just fine. I like this approach for the Buffalo Bills.

1065
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 9: It gives them a lot more options. They can be

1066
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 9: flexible game to game, and now they're not so reliant

1067
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 9: on one player. Their entire offense isn't based on whether

1068
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 9: Stefan Diggs or another receiver is healthy.

1069
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 8: They can build a game plan.

1070
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 9: And they can build the right type of team, but

1071
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 9: not only is going to have success in the regular season,

1072
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 9: but can also have success in the postseason. It's going

1073
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 9: to be a little shaky at first as Josh Allen

1074
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 9: gets used to all these new receivers and life without

1075
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,919
Speaker 9: Stefan Diggs, But I think ultimately in the long run

1076
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 9: here this is a viable strategy for Buffalo.

1077
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 4: I don't just want to talk about the wide receivers

1078
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 4: sticking with offense. I also want to bring up by

1079
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 4: running back group because James Cook finished the season with

1080
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 4: some pretty impressive numbers, ranking within the top five towards

1081
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 4: the end of the season in what he averaged with

1082
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 4: rushing yards and the impact that he had in games.

1083
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 4: But the Bills also drafted a running back in Ray Davis.

1084
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 4: What do you think this running back room is going

1085
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 4: to look like as it plays out in the regular season.

1086
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 9: They've been wanting a running back like Ray Davis for

1087
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 9: a while, and they've tried to find it, whether it

1088
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 9: was Leonard Fournette or Damien Harris, somebody that can handle

1089
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 9: the between the tackle grind of a season.

1090
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 8: And that's Ray Davis.

1091
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 9: I love this fit. I thought Ray Davis could potentially

1092
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 9: go as high as middle of the third round for

1093
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 9: Buffalo to grab him on Day three. I think he's

1094
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 9: the perfect compliment to James Cook because he is such

1095
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 9: a tough inside runner. He according to Pro Football Focus,

1096
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 9: one of the best running backs we've ever seen at

1097
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 9: being able to make plays after contact. I think Ray

1098
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 9: Davis is going to have a big impact right away.

1099
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 9: He's not going to overtake James Cook. But now when

1100
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 9: Cook has to come off the field, you're not having

1101
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 9: a significant down grade at the running back position. And

1102
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 9: I think Ray Davis's style is going to fit really

1103
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 9: well in Buffalo late in the season and into the

1104
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 9: playoffs when you need somebody who can grind those tough

1105
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 9: yards out. This is one of my favorite fits in

1106
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 9: the entire draft. I love Ray Davis in Buffalo with

1107
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:47,959
Speaker 9: James Cook.

1108
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's almost a signal to maybe how Joe

1109
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 2: Brady tweaks the offense even further, because that's really the

1110
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: eight hundred million dollar question here in Buffalo. Was Joe

1111
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: Brady just triaging the offense last year when he took

1112
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 2: over on an interim basis because he probably really didn't

1113
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: have an opportunity on the fly to kind of put

1114
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 2: his quote unquote stamp on it. How much does it

1115
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: change now with a full offseason, He's got the keys

1116
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: to the car on a permanent basis, and many of

1117
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: us feel it's shifting towards more of that balanced approach

1118
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 2: instead of having Josh throw it all around the yard.

1119
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 2: And maybe Ray Davis is an example of that, not

1120
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 2: only from the perspective that you just mentioned, Marcus, but

1121
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 2: it may even take some of the rushing load off

1122
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: of Josh and reduce the hits for him.

1123
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 9: I think we're definitely trending in that direction, and I

1124
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 9: think it's smart by Joe Brady. They they can win

1125
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 9: games with Josh doing everything.

1126
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 8: We've seen that over the last five years.

1127
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 9: I mean, Josh Allen has averaged forty touchdowns a season

1128
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 9: over the last five years.

1129
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 8: That's absolutely incredible.

1130
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 9: But I think Joe Brady knows that they've got to

1131
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 9: lessen the workload on Josh Allen so he doesn't feel

1132
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 9: like he has to be Superman in every game, and

1133
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 9: I think this is a good way of doing that.

1134
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 9: We mentioned Ray Davis on how he can help the

1135
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 9: inside running, but even going back to the receivers. Even

1136
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 9: in addition, like Curtis Samuel, if you can give him

1137
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 9: a touch in the backfield, if you can give him

1138
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 9: a jet sweep, you can give him a drag raut

1139
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 9: like easy touches. Just to take some of the workload

1140
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 9: off of Josh Allen makes a lot of sense. Try

1141
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 9: to keep him healthy and fresh and not stressed as

1142
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 9: we get into January.

1143
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 8: I love this plan by Joe Brady.

1144
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 4: Let's slip to the defensive side of the ball, because

1145
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 4: the Bills have a lot of new faces walking in

1146
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 4: to one Bill's drive in terms of defensive players, whether

1147
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 4: it was through free agency or the draft. If you

1148
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 4: look at the secondary, specifically speaking about the safety position,

1149
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 4: it's completely new. No Jordan Poyer, no Micah Hyde. We're

1150
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 4: not sure on his future yet. But they re sign

1151
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: Taylor Rapp who is a part of the roster. They

1152
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 4: go get Mike Edwards in free agency, and then they

1153
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 4: draft a safety in Cole Bishop out of Utah who

1154
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 4: got to play with Dolton Kincaid. You wrote an article

1155
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 4: about best fits remaining, best remaining free agents and you

1156
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 4: had a safety heading to Buffalo.

1157
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 3: Who was that?

1158
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 4: And do you believe the safety position is ready to

1159
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: go with the players that are a part of it

1160
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 4: right now?

1161
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 9: Yeah. So the player that you're referring to is Justin

1162
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 9: Simmons of the Denver Broncos so or formerly of the

1163
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 9: Denver Broncos, who I think is the best remaining free agent.

1164
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 9: He's thirty years old, he's been uber productive with the

1165
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 9: Denver Broncos. I just think adding a veteran safety like this,

1166
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 9: who has his production profile, who has his experience against

1167
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 9: really good quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes with the Chiefs, makes

1168
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 9: a lot of sense. I really like Cole Bishop coming

1169
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 9: out of Utah. I'm not so sure he's ready for

1170
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 9: a every down rule as a rookie. If he is,

1171
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 9: that's fantastic. But grab a player like Simmons, have him

1172
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 9: start right away. Maybe you can convince him to, you know,

1173
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 9: play seventy five eighty percent of the snaps to keep

1174
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 9: him healthy throughout the season. I think it makes a

1175
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 9: lot of sense for a young secondary in Buffalo that's

1176
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 9: clearly changing. They're having to revamp this unit. Justin Simmons

1177
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 9: is a baller. Bring him in and see how it works.

1178
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 2: What do you think is his market value this late

1179
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 2: in the game. I mean, he's still considered by many

1180
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 2: to be a top safety. But a year after safety's

1181
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 2: made some sizeable money, there were so many There were

1182
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 2: like twenty four starting safeties in the free agent market

1183
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 2: this year. There was like six more than there were

1184
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 2: last year, and the market got depressed because the supply

1185
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 2: outweighed the demand. And here's Simmons sitting out here in June,

1186
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: which I don't think anybody really anticipated.

1187
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 9: No. I think a lot of people thought he would

1188
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 9: be signed within a week after being released by the Broncos.

1189
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 9: I think the biggest issue here for Simmons he just

1190
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 9: doesn't want to take a one year deal. He would

1191
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,439
Speaker 9: like to get some security, sign a multi year deal

1192
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 9: with maybe some more guaranteed money, even if that means

1193
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 9: the yearly salary is a little bit lower than he expects.

1194
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 9: So could Buffalo theoretically offer him a two or three

1195
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 9: year deal.

1196
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 8: I think that makes some sense.

1197
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 9: I do think we'll see Justin Simmons get signed sometime

1198
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 9: during the summer ahead of training camp. He's just too

1199
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 9: good of a player to be on the market for

1200
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 9: this long.

1201
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 4: If you look at this team big picture, with the

1202
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 4: offseason editions, through the draft, through free agency, a new

1203
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator and offensive coordinator, is this team poised to

1204
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 4: take a step forward this season?

1205
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 8: It's hard to say, right.

1206
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 9: I don't know if on paper this roster is better

1207
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 9: than they were a year ago. But again, when you

1208
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 9: have Josh Allen under center, you're going to be in

1209
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 9: contention every year. He's one of the only few quarterbacks

1210
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 9: that we know can go toe to toe with the

1211
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 9: other top quarterbacks in the league, and maybe the only

1212
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 9: singular top quarterback in the league. I think Buffalo is

1213
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 9: in the same spot they were last year. They are

1214
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 9: a Super Bowl contender, where the rosters maybe not quite

1215
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 9: as good or as dynamic as some of the other

1216
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 9: teams in the AFC, but because they have a superstar quarterback,

1217
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 9: he's gonna give him a chance in every single big game.

1218
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 9: I would be shocked if Buffalo doesn't win the AFC

1219
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 9: East this year. I would be shocked if they're not

1220
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 9: at least the two or three seed in the AFC.

1221
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 9: I think once again they are a legitimate, viable Super

1222
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 9: Bowl contender.

1223
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's we kind of see all the

1224
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 2: change that happened here in the offseason, and we're kind

1225
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 2: of thinking, Okay, well, maybe they're a little inconsistent out

1226
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: of the shoot, but you know, come mid season, there

1227
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 2: are enough pieces in place to a lot of the

1228
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 2: content you've put together the thirty third Team to kind

1229
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: of elicit that, hey, you know what, you know you

1230
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 2: got alan and if some of these other pieces can

1231
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 2: fit and be good fits, yeah, they could be right

1232
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 2: back in that playoff mix. Again. Marcus, we thank you

1233
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 2: for the time, appreciate you giving us some especially as

1234
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 2: we head into what we hope is somewhat of an

1235
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 2: offseason for everybody. We'll catch up with you down the line,

1236
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 2: of course.

1237
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having me.

1238
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 2: All Right. That's Marcus Moser, NFL writer and analyst for

1239
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 2: the thirty third Team. And as I said, he just

1240
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 2: put a new piece up today and the Bills are

1241
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 2: on that list top eight offensive corps in the NFL.

1242
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 2: Bills did make the list, checking in at number seven,

1243
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's a fair ranking because of the newness,

1244
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 2: and there are let's be honest, man, there are unknowns

1245
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: at the skill positions because of all the new players

1246
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 2: that we just talked about with him.

1247
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 4: Yep, the Texans were eight, Falcon six, Lions were fifth,

1248
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 4: and if you look at number one, it was the

1249
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles were second, and the Ravens

1250
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 4: were third. Ninety nine Ers were four. So yeah, I

1251
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 4: believe it's a fair ranking. There is a lot of

1252
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 4: newness within this team. It's gonna be interesting to see

1253
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 4: how it plays out. It's hard for a lot of

1254
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 4: people outside of this building. It's hard for people to

1255
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 4: pinpoint where they think this team will land once Week

1256
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 4: one begins.

1257
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm kinda I'm hoping that the gelling happens sooner

1258
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 10: rather than later, because I could see them, you know,

1259
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 10: in the first month of the season, particularly on the

1260
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 10: defensive side of the ball, where they have to pull

1261
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 10: a lot more of that newness together.

1262
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 2: You know, there might be a hiccup in a game

1263
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 2: in the first month of the season because you don't

1264
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 2: have all your ducks in a row yet. Guys aren't

1265
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 2: as used to playing off one another with you know,

1266
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 2: the previous team they were on, because you don't have

1267
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 2: guys that have been playing together for six seven years

1268
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: like you've had with Poyer and Hyde and Tredaevius White

1269
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 2: and that crew. So that kind of newness can sometimes

1270
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 2: lend itself to a miscommunication on a key play, and

1271
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: that could be a play that costs you points on

1272
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 2: the board and maybe even ultimately a game. And so

1273
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 2: if this team maybe stubs its toes somewhere where they're

1274
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 2: not expected to in the first month of the season,

1275
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 2: that could happen just because of the newness. It's not

1276
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: like everybody's not trying to make it all work and

1277
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: fit together. The game is just so fast, and the

1278
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: lack of familiarity can sometimes can contribute, you know, to

1279
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 2: a misqueue or a miscommunication that maybe we haven't become

1280
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: accustomed to seeing in previous years because that familiarity did exist.

1281
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 4: You speak of the gelling that needs to happen on

1282
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 4: this roster, not.

1283
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 3: Just in OTA's.

1284
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 4: I think it's super important for this group, this team

1285
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 4: to take time outside of practices to get to know

1286
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 4: each other, to hang out with each other, whether it's

1287
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 4: the playing cornhole in the locker room, whether it's ping

1288
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 4: pong and locker room, whether it's having people over to

1289
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 4: each other's houses for dinners. I just caught up with

1290
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 4: Ocyrus Torrance yesterday for a piece that's going to air

1291
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 4: later on the summer, and he said he cooked the

1292
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 4: rookies at some jumbalaya the other day and is trying

1293
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 4: to do that as a form of getting to know

1294
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,879
Speaker 4: and build chemistry with a lot of the new players

1295
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 4: a part of the offensive line group. I think this

1296
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 4: off season, in the next couple months, while these guys

1297
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 4: are in the building and outside of the building as

1298
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 4: they take six weeks off, I think it's very, very

1299
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 4: important for these guys to use as much time as

1300
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 4: possible to get together and to get some face time

1301
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 4: with each other so that that chemistry is already well

1302
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 4: on its way before training camp begins.

1303
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I know Matt Brovey uncovered that Connor

1304
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 2: McGovern was doing pizza parties late last season, and I

1305
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 2: basically had the team over for pizza parties once a week,

1306
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, the team goes six and

1307
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 2: one down the stretch. Now, I think a lot more

1308
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 2: of what happened on the field was the reason for

1309
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 2: the six and one run, not the pizza parties, but

1310
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 2: there are little things like that. It's that sense of

1311
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 2: community within the locker room that makes guys strain a

1312
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 2: little bit harder on the football field, so the guy

1313
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 2: lining up next to him doesn't feel let down by

1314
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 2: their performance. It's those little things that can make a

1315
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 2: difference on a football field when the going gets tough.

1316
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:28,480
Speaker 2: And I think that's what the culture of this team.

1317
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 2: That's what has kind of transcended the McDermott era, that

1318
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: team culture. When people say, well, what is culture, it's

1319
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and it makes a difference on Sunday

1320
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 2: because you're hanging with that guy once a week, you

1321
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 2: know him a little bit better, you know his family,

1322
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 2: you know what matters to him, you know why he plays.

1323
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 2: Just because you're breaking bread with a guy once a week.

1324
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 2: As an entire team, that guy might strain a little

1325
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 2: bit more for you to make a play and help

1326
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 2: you win a football game because of that camaraderie. We

1327
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 2: will take a break here when we come back, more

1328
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 2: of your phone calls on what has you encouraged about

1329
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 2: the Bill's off season roster build. You heard Marcus Mosher

1330
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 2: mentioned some things that he's encouraged by what has you encouraged?

1331
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 2: Open lines for you at eight h three oh five

1332
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 2: point fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five point fifty,

1333
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 2: your calls and your tweets next here on One Bill's Live.

1334
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: Stay with Us all.

1335
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 2: Right, Thursday Edition One Bill's Live, final half hour of

1336
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 2: the show. And we've yet to crack open the tweet sheets,

1337
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 2: so we're gonna do that here now. Is our topic

1338
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 2: of discussion today is what has you most encourage about

1339
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 2: the Bills roster build this off season? Mannie and I

1340
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 2: have kind of weighed in. We've had some callers as well,

1341
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 2: So we'll spin it over to the tweet sheet now

1342
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 2: that we have a little time here. Tweets sheet brought

1343
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 2: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

1344
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills. Eric leads us off with

1345
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 2: the following younger and more athletic on defense, more diverse

1346
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 2: skill pieces on offense. Yeah, and that kind of speaks

1347
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 2: to that democratic target share that we were kind of

1348
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 2: talking about. We kind of feel like that's the direction

1349
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 2: this offense is headed, at least as far as the

1350
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 2: passing game is concerned. But diversity is a big part

1351
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 2: of that too, Curtis Samuel, as we were talking with

1352
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 2: Marcus Mosher earlier this hour, can do a multitude of things.

1353
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 2: Shakir can line up inside and outside. I think we

1354
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 2: believe that James Cook is a capable pass receiver. We've

1355
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 2: already seen him line up outside with Joe Brady as

1356
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: a play caller, so I think we would expect that

1357
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 2: to continue. So, yeah, there is diversity, and Kincaid is

1358
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 2: more of like a tight receiver than a tight end.

1359
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 4: I was gonna say we could see some more diversity

1360
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,759
Speaker 4: within the tight end room too, because we can't forget

1361
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,600
Speaker 4: that Dawson Knox didn't have an entirely healthy season. So

1362
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 4: getting him and Don't Kinkaid together a second year Dalton Kincaid,

1363
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 4: not a rookie Dalton Kincaid with a tight end like

1364
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 4: Dawson Knox, I think that could bring a little bit

1365
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 4: of diversity to this offense as well. Having those two

1366
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 4: work together on the field at the same time.

1367
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and young and more athletic on defense I think

1368
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 2: is fair too. I think as much as everybody loves

1369
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,839
Speaker 2: Jordan Poyter and Micah Hyde and always will, I think

1370
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:28,799
Speaker 2: the stark reality was you know, they were certainly closer

1371
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 2: to the ends of their career than the beginning, and

1372
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 2: sometimes you lose half a step. I think you can

1373
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 2: certainly make the argument that they are younger and more

1374
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 2: athletic at the safety position. If Kyrie Elam is stiff

1375
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 2: competition for Rasul Douglas, you could be younger and more

1376
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 2: athletic at both corner spots going into this season, and

1377
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 2: I think that's encouraging. You're already pretty darn young at

1378
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 2: middle linebacker. You could argue that you're more instinctive at

1379
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 2: that bozi than you were with Tremaine Edmunds. So yeah,

1380
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 2: I'm curious to kind of see just how young and

1381
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: just how athletic the defense is based on who wins

1382
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 2: some of these roles that are up for grabs now,

1383
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 2: particularly in the secondary. Tom on the tweet sheet says,

1384
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 2: the wide receiver room is a ticking time bomb. It's

1385
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 2: going to explode with production. Okay, so in a good way.

1386
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 2: Ticking time bomb. Tight end duo of Knoxkin Caid is big.

1387
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 2: We got a very good defense that is primed for

1388
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl run. Best QB in the league. Tom

1389
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: is bullish on the bills here and their off season build.

1390
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,919
Speaker 2: We already touched on Knox Kincaid, which you just mentioned.

1391
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 2: Defense primed for a Super Bowl run. A lot's going

1392
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 2: to have to come together, I think, to be super

1393
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 2: Bowl caliber right out of the shoot not saying they

1394
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 2: can't get there maybe after ten twelve games, or maybe

1395
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 2: get hot at the right time going into the playoffs,

1396
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 2: but right out of the shoe, there's a lot of change.

1397
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 2: On the defensive side of the ball.

1398
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 4: You're looking to have a lot of the starters back

1399
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 4: on the defensive line, at least the first rotation. That

1400
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 4: is gonna be a part of that equation. In the

1401
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 4: linebacker spot, you're hoping to get a healthy Matt Mulano

1402
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 4: on the field with the Terrelle Bernard, I think that

1403
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 4: duo is going to be amazing together. Cornerback there you're

1404
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 4: starting to look at a battle. And then in the

1405
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 4: secondary safeties I should say, are going to be two

1406
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 4: new faces. Now, Taylor Rapp was a part of the

1407
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 4: team last season. He did play in games, but a

1408
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 4: new duo together is what I'm talking about, and I

1409
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,440
Speaker 4: think a lot is going to ride on those two players.

1410
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 4: The defensive line, the front seven may have to hold

1411
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 4: things together as the back half gets adjusted to life

1412
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 4: without Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.

1413
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 3: We know how.

1414
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 4: Important those two were for the d defense as a whole.

1415
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 4: This defense with Poyer and Hide were known as a

1416
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 4: defense that took the football way at a very high rate,

1417
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 4: allowed a very low touchdown number in terms of passing touchdowns.

1418
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 2: And didn't give up big plays and didn't.

1419
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 4: Give up big plays. Is that going to be the same.

1420
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 4: I think that's the goal. But how quickly can they

1421
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 4: start to meet those expectations?

1422
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, not to mention the fact that they've got a

1423
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 2: stiff schedule too, uh, in terms of caliber of opposing quarterbacks,

1424
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 2: receiving corps that they'll be going up against, et cetera.

1425
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 2: And then, you know, to take it a step further,

1426
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 2: you have a new coordinator and what is the dynamic there?

1427
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,759
Speaker 2: We do not yet know, you know. We know Bobby

1428
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 2: Babbage spoke earlier this week, you know, and I think

1429
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 2: was you know, very articulate in mapping all of that out.

1430
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 2: At least as far as it's gone to this point,

1431
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 2: he's going to get call it periods in practice as

1432
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 2: we get deeper into the offseason, and probably a training

1433
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 2: camp and then you'll probably get the keys to call

1434
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 2: plays in a preseason game or two before coach McDermott

1435
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 2: comes down on a decision as to how that's gonna work.

1436
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 2: Whether it's him calling the plays or Babbage. That's another

1437
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 2: element that could introduce a whole new set of change

1438
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 2: as well, just not because Babbage isn't qualified. He's just different.

1439
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 2: He's not Sean McDermott. So if that is a decision

1440
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 2: that comes to pass and he's given the responsibility of

1441
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 2: calling the defense, that's still another element that will be

1442
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 2: different from last year, which would be crazy because if

1443
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 2: you think about him, Maddie, it's the third straight year

1444
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a different play caller calling the defense.

1445
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 2: That's change also even for the guys that have been here.

1446
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

1447
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 4: So you also have a lot of new position coaches

1448
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 4: on the defensive side of the football. Not that that's

1449
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 4: changing things entirely, but that is probably changing the way

1450
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 4: you coach techniques and the things that you're harping on

1451
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 4: in practices. With hand placement, foot placement. Here's how you

1452
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 4: get after this position group. Here's how you should line

1453
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 4: up here. It's a little there's different language that's probably

1454
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 4: happening right now in practices.

1455
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 2: Jeremy on the tweets sheet says, the depth and talent

1456
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 2: is deeper than I've seen in ages. I truly believe

1457
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 2: this is the best roster we've had in the Josh

1458
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 2: Allen era. Just got to see if it all comes together.

1459
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 2: That is the fly in the ointment here on paper.

1460
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 2: I think you can be encouraged about the talent level.

1461
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 2: I think you can be encouraged about the depth. What

1462
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,839
Speaker 2: has you a little nervous is, as we said earlier,

1463
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 2: all the newness. How Like you got talent, you have depth.

1464
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 2: How does it all fit together though? On the field?

1465
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 2: Eleven guys on defense, eleven guys on offense, eleven guys

1466
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 2: on special teams. That that is the unknown. And you

1467
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 2: know we've seen this before around the league many times

1468
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 2: over year after year. Oh look at what this team added,

1469
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 2: Look at this thing, Oh look at that that looks

1470
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 2: like a perfect fit. Then that team gets to the

1471
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 2: regular season and maybe they're slow out of the gate

1472
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year. By the time they

1473
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 2: put it all together, it's too late to win a

1474
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 2: division or something else. Or maybe a team falls flat

1475
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 2: on their face and can't make it work, or a

1476
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 2: new coordinator can't put all those pieces together and position

1477
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 2: them properly to be a successful unit, even though they're

1478
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 2: a talented group. So those are that's the trepidation that

1479
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 2: I think Bills fans harbor. I think they're encouraged, but

1480
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 2: they're cautiously optimistic. Does that make sense.

1481
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 4: Bill's fans have been through this before. Let's remember back

1482
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 4: to when Josh Allen got drafted by this team in

1483
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. A lot of people did not like that pick.

1484
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 4: A lot of people didn't know if he was going

1485
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 4: to become the quarterback that he actually became. People were

1486
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 4: worried about He's got a big ceiling, but the completion

1487
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 4: percentage isn't there. He hasn't had the he hasn't played

1488
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 4: at an elite level at the college level because he's

1489
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,560
Speaker 4: coming from a school in Wyoming. How does that translate

1490
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 4: into the NFL. What the Bills did was they put

1491
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 4: pieces around him to lift him up and help him

1492
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 4: learn in a way that you've got veteran quarterbacks behind you.

1493
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 4: We're putting a wide receiver that's one of the best

1494
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL in front of you, and we hope

1495
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 4: that this is going to make your skill set come

1496
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 4: together at a faster pace. They're doing that right now

1497
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 4: with all of these new faces within this team on

1498
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 4: the offensive side of the football, on the defensive side

1499
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 4: of the football. And how you lift these new players

1500
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 4: up is with a quarterback like Josh Allen that has

1501
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 4: proven that is one of the best in the NFL,

1502
01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 4: and with several returning defensive players, whether it's on the

1503
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 4: defensive line and the linebacker spot in or one of

1504
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 4: the quarterbacks. Several secondary pieces that have been staples to

1505
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 4: this defensive line for a couple of seasons now in

1506
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:17,719
Speaker 4: Matt Molano, trel Bernard de Kwon, Jones, Greg Russo, Von Miller,

1507
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 4: aj Epanessa, guys who know the standard. And you bring

1508
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 4: these new guys into this fold to the situation and

1509
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 4: you say, here's how things are done. We know there's

1510
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 4: a lot of question marks on the outside, but we

1511
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 4: believe we can do it because we have a quarterback

1512
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 4: like Josh Allen and we have these returning pieces that

1513
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 4: we believe a lot is.

1514
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 2: It's almost like the script flip offense. Because Josh is

1515
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 2: a rookie, second year player it's like, let's build it

1516
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 2: around him so he can play better because he's got

1517
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 2: better answers, and he's got a coordinator and Dable who

1518
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 2: knows how to grooming young guy. And now it's completely flipped.

1519
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 2: Now it's like, let's see if Josh can raise the

1520
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,560
Speaker 2: level of all the new pieces at the skill positions

1521
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 2: on the roster, and we go that way. Now it's

1522
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 2: complete one point eighty from where it was four or

1523
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 2: five years ago, which is kind of interesting to think about.

1524
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:09,919
Speaker 2: Todd on the tweets sheet says, the youth on the team,

1525
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 2: with still a mix of good veterans bills, needed to

1526
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 2: get younger, and they did. Yeah, I think people, and

1527
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 2: we had a call earlier that stated this, You know,

1528
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 2: you couldn't really run it back again. They had done

1529
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 2: it enough times in a row and they didn't get

1530
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: the results that they wanted in the playoffs. So you

1531
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 2: got to try to change the formula, not an overhaul,

1532
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 2: but tweak it enough get an influx of youth where

1533
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 2: maybe you're a little faster on the field even if

1534
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 2: you're less experienced, or maybe you're a little stronger on

1535
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 2: the field even if you're a little more experienced. And

1536
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 2: then hope and count on your coaching staff, which is

1537
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 2: a great player development staff that they can bring or

1538
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 2: almost coach the inexperience out of them, so they know

1539
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 2: what to expect and they can play like a savvy

1540
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 2: vet even though they're still young and inexperienced. Sooner rather

1541
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 2: than later would be the preference. And look, I mean

1542
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 2: I've already mentioned one guy, Khalil Shakir in a very

1543
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 2: short period of time, has more playoff touchdowns now than

1544
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs had in his four years in a uniform

1545
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 2: for the Bills. Kyrie Elam has more playoff interceptions than

1546
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 2: Tredevius White had in a Buffalo Bill's uniform already, and

1547
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 2: he played sparingly in his first two years. So to me, yeah,

1548
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 2: it's kind of a signal like maybe we should get

1549
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 2: these young guys on the field more. They might do

1550
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 2: even more of that going forward as they gain more experience.

1551
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 2: So I think some of those signs that we saw

1552
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 2: late in the year last year, in the playoffs last

1553
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 2: year kind of convinced the personnel department and probably the

1554
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 2: coaching staff like we haven't gotten over the divisional hump

1555
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 2: in the last three years. Let's turn the page and

1556
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: see if these young guys can vault us to a

1557
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,679
Speaker 2: spot that we haven't been since the twenty twenty season.

1558
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 4: Goln Kincaid was thrown in there right away as a

1559
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 4: rookie tight end and was a big part of the offense.

1560
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 4: Osyrus Torrence played in every single snap. No other offensive

1561
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 4: lineman did that on Buffalo's rosters, So you start to

1562
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 4: trust these guys and their position coaches coach them up,

1563
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 4: make them feel like they're ready for life at an

1564
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 4: NFL level. I can't tell you how many people rave

1565
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 4: about Aaron Cromer as if he is the best offensive

1566
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 4: line coach that any of these players have ever had.

1567
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,759
Speaker 4: The same can be said for coach Boris. Rob Boris,

1568
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 4: the tight ends coach, Adam Henry, the wide receivers coach.

1569
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 3: These guys rave about these position coaches.

1570
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 4: It's one thing to speak nicely of a position coach,

1571
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 4: but it's another thing to rave about a position coach.

1572
01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 4: And oftentimes, oftentimes you hear these players do exis actly

1573
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 4: that for their position coaches.

1574
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:03,719
Speaker 3: On Buffalo's roster.

1575
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: Jack on the tweets she says, the overall depth they've

1576
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,839
Speaker 2: added many guys may not be big names, but between

1577
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 2: free agency and the draft, this team has depth at

1578
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 2: every position, sometimes two or three deep linebackerszer line, D

1579
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 2: line wide receiver, even dB. Some guys won't make the

1580
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 2: roster but will be definitely picked up and play for

1581
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 2: other NFL teams. This year, that's kind of been an

1582
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 2: annual occurrence for the Bills. Guys on the back end

1583
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 2: of their draft who they put on the practice squad

1584
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 2: get poached. I mean, you saw Nick Broker and Alex

1585
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 2: Austin get poached last year. There've been other guys in

1586
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:40,719
Speaker 2: years prior that that's happened to Rashad Wild, Goose Jack Anderson,

1587
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: who actually just got released by the Colts today. He's

1588
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 2: out there and available if the Bills want him back.

1589
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, the depth is encouraging. I mentioned it at

1590
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 2: the top of the show. That's what I'm most encouraged about,

1591
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 2: the depth on the offense and defensive lines. I know

1592
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,799
Speaker 2: not all the names may be readily recognizable or considered

1593
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 2: household names, but Austin Johnson is a damn good nose

1594
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 2: to and he's going to be a rotational backup here

1595
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 2: behind day Kwon Jones, Lyle Collins as a swing tackle

1596
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 2: is a ridiculous proposition that I didn't think was even possible.

1597
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 2: And he's here potentially as your third tackle if he's

1598
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 2: not starting himself. That's ridiculous.

1599
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 4: You could even talk about the linebacker room and the

1600
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 4: fact that they were able to pick up Dion Jones.

1601
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 4: That's somebody who has a lot of playing experience at

1602
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 4: the NFL level. The linebacker room needed that depth in

1603
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 4: the biggest way last season. And they go and add

1604
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 4: a veteran linebacker to their roster, and they also draft

1605
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 4: someone too, And it wasn't just Dion Jones. They also

1606
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 4: added Nicholas Morrow, who was their first signing I believe

1607
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 4: in the offseason.

1608
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like Ulefoggio a lot. Yeah, that guy's

1609
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 2: got future captain, I think, Yeah. I mean, I don't

1610
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 2: know what the next several years are going to hold,

1611
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 2: but I could see him kind of being one of

1612
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 2: those guys. And I think he'll be a leader on

1613
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 2: special teams pretty darn early. Knowing we've had a little

1614
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 2: turnover there too that hasn't really been talked about. Tyler

1615
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: Mattikaevich out the door, Tyrel Dodson out the door. Those

1616
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 2: are stalwarts on the special teams unit for the last

1617
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 2: several years, you needed an influx there and I think

1618
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 2: Ulafotio is an example of that going forward. Break time

1619
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 2: for us one segment to go. Some final thoughts on

1620
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet and we'll squeeze into a phone call

1621
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 2: if we can. Here on one Bill's live stay with us,

1622
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 2: all right, some final thoughts here on the tweet sheet.

1623
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 2: We've got just saying more weapons for Josh and Joe.

1624
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 2: Brady is the OC go Bills. That's what has her

1625
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 2: most encouraged about the off season roster build Bills for

1626
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 2: the money, says the flexible weapons for seventeen. He can

1627
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 2: now focus on the mismatch and throw to the open guy.

1628
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 2: I also think number one Samuel and number ten Shakir

1629
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 2: are good run after catch guys. One concern can one

1630
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 2: of the younger players become that edge guy in the crunch.

1631
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 2: Guy with an edge, I guess makes the money play.

1632
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 2: I suppose that's a good You know, that brings up

1633
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 2: a good point here because you know, we talked about

1634
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 2: the democratic approach to the passing targets today, Maddie, but

1635
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 2: also the flexibility of the players that they have in

1636
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:34,759
Speaker 2: those skill positions. You know, maybe Mac Collins is strictly

1637
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 2: an outside guy, but you can moved all and Concate

1638
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 2: all around. You can move James Cook all around, Curtis Samuel,

1639
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 2: as you mentioned earlier, can get moved all around, and Shakier,

1640
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 2: as our guest Marcus Mosher told us, can get moved

1641
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 2: all around. You might not have the alpha dog in

1642
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 2: the receiving room anymore, but I think you are unquestionably

1643
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 2: more unpredictable week to week with what's going to be

1644
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,640
Speaker 2: on the field and where it's going to line up

1645
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 2: and what routes are going to be run by those

1646
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 2: offensive skill guys.

1647
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 4: Now, I believe it was Kol Shakir said last week

1648
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 4: when he spoke to media, is that we are all

1649
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 4: trying to learn every single position to make us as

1650
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 4: a group as versatile as possible. I love the mismatch

1651
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 4: game they're going to be able to play this season.

1652
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 4: It's going to be a game by game basis, how

1653
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 4: can we trick this defense, What is this defense's weakness

1654
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 4: and how can we exploit that?

1655
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and as long as those guys can have a

1656
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 2: measure of consistency within their own game, now you can

1657
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 2: pick any one of those guys in any given week

1658
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:36,680
Speaker 2: and take advantage of the week as matchup for that

1659
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 2: opponent and hopefully it translates into results. That's it for

1660
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 2: us today, obl Fan Friday mail Bag tomorrow. We'll see

1661
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 2: you then
